NCMA - FY 05 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES  AND COMMENTARY FOR MAY 2005
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The results for May are summarized as follows: MAY MAY MAY
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 265,393 328,833 (63,440)
Expenses 303,382 275,151 (28,231)
Net Income - pre investment income (37,989) 53,682 (91,672)
The adverse variance in May revenue results from lower than budgeted revenues for Membership (Individual and Group), Education (NES, Audio Seminars, Learning Center and books)
and Communications (CM Magazine and Buyers Guide), partially offset by better than budgeted revenues in Communications (NCMA Jobs.com)
The adverse variance in May expenses results from higher Governance costs (BOD meeting - timing of reimbursements), Administration (Staff Bonus - timing, Network systems management),
Membership (Awards for Leadership Summit, Temporary staff), and Communications (Website Management)
The adverse variance is partially offset by lower variable costs - Education (Audio Seminars and Books), Marketing (Membership) and
Certification (No Board meeting in May)
In addition with fewer employees then budgeted overall aggregate salaries and benefits are lower (Actual - $92,488, Budget $100,819)
The Year to Date results are summarized as follows: YTD YTD YTD
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 4,508,598 4,471,580 37,018
Expenses 4,188,367 4,215,333 26,966
Net Income - pre investment income 320,231 256,247 63,984
The favorable variance in year to date revenues reflects better than budgeted performance in Communications (Buyers Guide advertising, CM Magazine advertising,
NCMA Jobs.com revenues, Website revenues) and Education (Audio seminar revenues)
This is partially offset by the shortfall in Meetings (ADC revenues in July, Commercial Contracting revenues in September and World Congress revenues in April) together with
Membership (Lower Corporate revenues) and Education (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 World Congress variable costs
Lower Mid Year Leadership Conference costs
Lower Strategic Planning costs (Budget and Strategic Planning)
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)
Lower marketing costs (Conferences, Certification and Membership)
Lower Salary and Benefit costs - lower number of staff than budgeted
These lower costs have been partially offset by:
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
