<h3>One Time Expenses</h3>

<p>Zarro Boogs Corporation was just recently formed by a group of the core
Bugzilla Developers in order to have a legal entity which could hold the
license to the Bugzilla trademark and potentially pay one or more developers.
We incured the following costs in setting up this entity:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>$1500.00</strong> - Legal fees related to researching the proper
structure for the new company, creating the founding documents to make the
company legit, and registering it with the State of Michigan</li>
<li><strong>$50.00</strong> - Filing fee to apply for §501(c)(4) status from
the US Internal Revenue Service</li>
<li><strong>$1700.00</strong> - Legal fees to cover lawyer time during
negotiations with the Mozilla Foundation to obtain the license to use the
Bugzilla trademark</li>
<li><strong>$400.00</strong> - year-to-date hosting costs for two servers in
Linode (January to March at $45 (x3 = $135), April to August at $53 (x5 =
$265)) paid before we had a way to collect donations.</li>
</ul>
