To the Honorable, the Legislature:
Section
303.019, Wisconsin Statutes, directs that "the Department of Corrections and administration shall report on a quarterly basis, except for the last quarter in a fiscal year, to the Joint committee on Finance providing a cash balance summary for each prison industry and a projected fiscal year-end profit and loss statement for the prison industry program...".
Attached are the "Projected Accrual Profit and Loss Statement" and "Year to Date Cash Balance Summary by Industry" for the period ending March 31, 1996.
Prison Industries had a cash deficit of $1.07 million through the third quarter ending March 31, 1996. Actual year-to-date expenditures were $10,955,600. These expenditures reflect approximately $685,000 in expenditures related to the previous fiscal year (FY 95) as directed by Joint Finance in an October 26, 1995 s.13.10 meeting.
Revenues for the same time period were $9,882,900. Prison Industries has adequate fixed assets, inventories and receivables to cover the overdraft.
The projected profit on the accrual basis for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996 is $100,000.

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f) of the Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3) Stats.), and confirms that the Department o Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative balances during the month of March, 1996.
On March 14, 1996 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$3 thousand. This shortfall continued through the end of the month. The shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On March 19, 1996 the Petroleum Inspection Fund balance was -$875 thousand. This shortfall continued until March 20, 1996 when the balance reached +$7.9 million. The shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On March 25, 1996 the Wisconsin Lottery Fund balance was -$8.3 million. This shortfall continued through the end of the month. The shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Petroleum Inspection Fund, and Lottery Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the $400 million ceiling and did not exceed the balances of the Funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority.
Sincerely,
james R. klauser
