| Dec 20th | Without extra expenditure on, above all, new care and safety measures,
increased marketing costs and a marginal decrease in the number of people
attending – factors which combined to reduce income by around 9 million DKK –
Roskilde '01 would have just about been able to balance its books.
After taking the three abovementioned factors into account, together with
supplementing income by festival gear sales totalling some 8 million DKK,
Roskilde '01 operating costs were about 1 million DKK in excess of total
revenue, a loss which will be registered and covered by the Roskilde Charity
Society.
