Any other assets? What were your total receipts for the year? You probably don't even have to do the balance sheet. Anyway, what about the other account......like cash for example.....and what and how much did you each contribute?

We dont have to do a balance sheet for the Federal Government but my State requires one for all businesses (North Carolina).  Total receipts were $86,695.  Total Cash: Beginning of year $6,849
