The Finance Director stated the comparison is a snapshot; the Sales Tax Consultant produced the graph; advances are given during the first two months of the quarter; a true up is given the last month of the quarter; a final true up is given the first month of the next quarter; she is not sure whether a comparison can be done other than as a quarterly snapshot.
