EFFICIENCY • LOOKING BACK • In Fall 2001, projected sizeable, continuing deficits that would have drained reserves and amassed sizeable debt • For FY05, surplus exceeded $500,000 • Brought HHS reserves to a healthier 4% of annual expenses (from less than 1% at our low point) • Established modest Department reserves
