| Net Income - pre investment income, other and taxes | 6,351 | 2,477 | 3,874 | 156% | ||||||||||||||
| The unfavorable variance in February revenues results primarily from the cancellation of the Executive Conference (Decision taken in 2007 but after the budget had been finalized) and | ||||||||||||||||||
| secondarily from lower revenues in Membership (Individual and Group), Education (NES), Advertising (Corporate Sponsorships), and Certification (Exam Fees). | ||||||||||||||||||
| This unfavorable variance in February revenues is partially offset by higher than budgeted revenues in Education (Audio Seminars, Books), and | ||||||||||||||||||
| Advertising (Resource Guide, Career Programs - CM Jobs.com, CM Magazine, Website, and Educational Partners). | ||||||||||||||||||

| Component Relations (Mid-Year conference), Education (NES - variable costs), Creative Services (Career Programs - Salary Survey costs, Corporate Sponsorships - Variable) | ||||||||||||||||||
| and Certification (General Program and Exam expenses) | ||||||||||||||||||

| March and February, a change in the staff configuration, and vacancies for varying periods in Certification, Meetings and Creative Services, partially offset by temporary staff costs | ||||||||||||||||||
