Mid-Year Financial Statement Recap - Actual vs. Plan

Revenue is over plan year-to-date due to the success of the annual on-line fundraiser and unrestricted foundation grants. Expenses were less than plan primarily due to lower salaries/benefits/recruiting/staff development costs due to slower hiring than originally anticipated, travel expenses, community convene expenses, and timing of technology capital expenditures, of which a portion will not be incurred as planned due to the servers donated from Cisco.

Notes (Variance over 10%): In-kind amounts are not budgeted.
 * (a) 		Revenue is over plan year-to-date due to the success of annual on-line fundraiser and unrestricted foundation grants.
 * (b) 		Represents donated internet hosting services for the Amsterdam data center of approximately $144K and 40 servers from Cisco of approximately $1.4MM.
 * (c) 		Includes foreign exchange losses, interest income and misc. income.
 * (d) 		Represents merchandise web store that has not been launched. We are expecting to launch it in March.
 * (e) 		Program income is lower than plan due to new business development relationships have not been formed as originally anticipated.
 * (f) 		Recruiting expenses are lower than plan due to a majority of hirings are done internally through our independent recruiting contractors versus using recruiting or placement firms.
 * (g) 		Grants in total are currently in-lined with plan but incurring earlier than originally anticipated.  However, overall for the fiscal year, grants expenses will exceed plan resulting from grants provided in lieu of fundraising revenue share for chapters that participated in the annual on-line fundraiser in prior years. Grants in lieu of fundraising revenue share were not budgeted.
 * (h) 		Outside contract services higher than plan resulted from engagement of contractors to fill roles of opened positions until permanent staff are hired.
 * (i)		Staff and volunteer development expenses are spent slower than originally anticipated.
 * (j) 		Bank fees are more than plan as a direct result of higher online fundraising revenue and also due to the engagement of a new payment processor with higher fees but allows us the ability to receive donations from a greater number of local currencies.
 * (k) 		Amounts are lower than plan due to timing of servers purchase. A portion of the total planned capital expenditures will not be spent and reallocated since we received 40 donated servers from Cisco.
 * (l) 		Lower travels than anticipated and also community convene that has not occurred.
