NCMA - FY 05 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES  AND COMMENTARY FOR FEBRUARY 2005
  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The results for February are summarized as follows:
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 276,273 232,923 43,350
Expenses 307,959 264,080 (43,879)
Net Income - pre investment income (31,686) (31,157) (529)
The favorable variance in February revenue results from better than budgeted performance in Communications (Buyers Guide, CM Magazine, and NCMA Jobs.com) and
Education (Audio Seminars).
This favorable variance is offset by adverse variances in Education (NES and E-Learning)
The adverse variance in February expenses results from Governance (Mid Year Leadership Summit budgeted in January), Administration (Network systems management
and relocation costs), Communications (Higher variable costs associated with higher revenues) and Certification ( Job Analysis Survey - budgeted in earlier months)
The Year to Date results are summarized as follows:
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 2,596,851 2,453,966 142,885
Expenses 2,634,531 2,645,266 10,735
Net Income - pre investment income (37,680) (191,300) 153,620
The favorable variance in year to date revenues reflects better than budgeted performance in Communications (CM Magazine advertising, NCMA Jobs.com revenues, Website revenues) and Education (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 the delayed start in e-Learning and lower book sales.
Year to date expenses are lower than budgeted for the following reasons:
Lower ADC conference variable costs
Lower Commercial Contracting Conference variable costs
Lower Mid Year Leadership Conference 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
