NCMA - FY 05 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES  AND COMMENTARY FOR DECEMBER 2004
  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The results for December are summarized as follows:
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 522,740 475,248 47,492
Expenses 466,429 440,050 (26,380)
Net Income - pre investment income 56,311 35,198 21,113
The favorable variance in December revenue results from better than budgeted performance in Communications (CM Magazine, NCMA Jobs.com, and Buyers Guide),
Education (NES) and Meetings (GCC -see below).This favorable variance is offset by adverse variances in Membership (Corporate) and Education (Audi Seminars, Learning Center.
and e-Learning.)
The adverse variance in December expenses is primarily the result of higher computer management expenses, temporary accounting assistance, and higher
variable costs associated with higher revenues. These higher costs are partially offset by the deferral of certain Membership, Certification  and lower variable costs on certain lower
revenues (Corporate Memberships)
The results for the GCC conference which Actual Budget Variance
are included in the December numbers above
are as follows: Revenues 248,115 235,775 12,340
Expenses 109,603 104,531 (5,072)
Net Income 138,512 131,245 7,268
Net Income % 56% 56%
The favorable variance on GCC Revenues arise from a slightly higher number of paid registrants - Actual 391, Budget 389 and higher than budgeted Exhibit and sponsor revenues ($12,130)
The adverse variance on expenses is a result of higher hotel Food and Beverage and Audio Visual costs
The Year to Date results are summarized as follows:
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 2,037,652 1,981,040 56,612
Expenses 2,022,329 2,064,837 42,508
Net Income - pre investment income 15,323 (83,797) 99,120
The favorable variance in year to date revenues reflects better than budgeted Magazine advertising, NCMA Jobs.com revenues and NES seminar and Audio Seminar revenues.
This is partially offset by the shortfall in both the ADC revenues in July and Commercial Contracting revenues in September together with slightly lower membership revenues and the delayed start in e-Learning
Year to date expenses are lower than budgeted for the following reasons:
Lower ADC conference variable costs
Lower Commercial Contracting Conference variable costs
Deferral of budgeted costs in Certification and lower Certification Board costs
Later than  planned start date for new Chief Knowledge Officer (Education) and Designer (Communications)
Deferral of e-Learning product launch
Lower than budgeted Board of Director meeting expenses
Deferred membership costs (Chapter manual, Certificates)
These lower costs have been partially offset by:
Journal printing costs
Higher than budgeted computer system and internet management costs
Additional accounting assistance for the period of the Accounting Manager's maternity leave
Higher variable costs on CM Magazine, Website, NES and Audio Seminars
