Part 3 - Line 4a
THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL YEAR FOR THE ORGANIZATION, WITH BOTH REVENUE STREAMS SEEING A DECLINE. LIKE MANY PUBLISHERS WITH NONFICTION-HEAVY LISTS, WE FACED INDUSTRY-WIDE CHALLENGES THAT IMPACTED OUR TOTAL EARNED REVENUE. WE PUBLISHED 31 FRONTLIST TITLES IN 2023. OUR TOP 5 TITLES REPRESENTED 22% OF OUR TOTAL SALES. THE TOP FIVE TITLES WERE THE NEW JIM CROW, LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME, TROUBLEMAKERS, CRITICAL RACE THEORY, AND EXCEPT FOR PALESTINE. WITH TWO TITLES (CHARISMA'S TURN AND THE PAPERBACK OF ELIE MYSTAL' S ALLOW ME TO RETORT) SELLING OVER 5000 COPIES. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)BOTH SALES AND REVENUE FELL BELOW RECENT YEARS' LEVELS. HOWEVER, OUR CASH POSITION REMAINS STRONG, AND WE CLOSED THE YEAR WITH NEARLY $3 MILLION IN CASH.
