Basis unconfirmed for royalty income — the spreadsheets only ever applied it to tours

Two things to check before anyone acts on these figures. Management shows $18,754 accrued-but-unpaid — but roughly $83,000 of income is still uncategorised in the bank feed, so the true gross (and therefore the 15%) could move. Business manager shows every dollar owed and none paid, which almost certainly means the business-management fee is paid from somewhere this account can't see — worth confirming rather than assuming it's unpaid.
