*1. The Urantia Book—IPG*
On July 9, IPG cut a check for the balance of the returns retention
fund less returns fees and distribution fees for the six months ending
June 30:
Returns Retention Fund $3,010.50
Returns & Distribution Fees (244.96)
Final Payment $2,765.54
This payment has not yet been posted to sales, as the check is in
mail-forwarding limbo at this time. Until IPG locates the check and
forwards it with the attached final sales/returns report, it is
impossible to provide actual numbers of books sold/returned over the
period following the end of our contract. The books remaining on hand
at
IPG’s warehouse (fewer than 40) will be returned to the Oklahoma City
office at the Fellowship’s expense.
