This document may contain projections for the future, statements of opinion, and even statements of fact. It may also contain errors (it is possible, even at KGNU), however, reasonable attempts have been made to ensure this report, the data contained or referenced herein, and conclusions drawn are accurate, factual, and well vetted. However thorough the preparation of & information in this document, it should not be construed as an official financial statement of any kind. The BCBA d/b/a KGNU Radio retains an independent external auditor to provide a separate audited financial statement that serves as the primary official financial statement of the BCBA d/b/a KGNU Radio. Financials presented herein have been adjusted, modified, and edited to be used as a management tool and to, in the estimation of the Budget Committee, most accurately reflect operational & asset positions as measurement & assessment tools. Deviations from where the audited statement is expected to land, GAAP, and other standard reports might occasionally be required to this end; where significant deviation and/or adjustment was made, it is noted appropriately. Basit Mustafa created this document with input directly from the committee throughout FY2011 and a final FY2011 results analysis meeting held on 3 November 2011.
Fiscal Year 2011 (FY2011) consists of all business booked or transactions accrued beginning 1 October 2010 and concludes the final business recorded through 30
The Budget Committees aegis runs the gamut of financial planning, analysis, and management at KGNU. Broadly speaking, the Budget Committee is responsible for: Planning, defining, and obtaining approval of an operating budget Managing, analyzing, forecasting, and reporting of KGNUs Balance Sheet, Operating P&L, Capital Expenditures, and Financial Obligations on an on-going, quarterly, and annual basis Establishing, enforcing, and maintaining financial/business controls, financial policy/plans, and audit as appropriate Advising and reporting to the Board as appropriate - pro-actively, on a regular schedule, and upon demand Understanding and monitoring the relationship/impacts between KGNUs strategy, operations, processes, and programs and KGNUs financial posture Defining, managing, and maintaining relationships with external financial partners, institutions, financial regulatory agencies, and managing other fiduciary interests of the organization
Providing support in financial planning, P&L management, and business support to the station manager, staff, and other committees/designees of the Board as appropriate/directed
Our long-time partner, Boulder Municipal Employees Credit Union (and their partner Centennial Lending) both Ann Babiak and Kirk Wiebusch worked hard to provide us with a mortgage refinance proposal that was ultimately accepted that saved KGNU a significant amount on cost of funds but also provided security and predictability for the next five years on cost of funds. Through unexpected paperwork challenges in flood plain assessments, etc both Ann and Kirk worked hard to represent KGNUs interests to their partners and secure the most favorable terms for KGNU. Their commitment to this relationship and our organization is truly appreciated.
Our continuing relationship with the Bank of Denver, even as we were unable to continue our mortgage relationship with them, Lori Radcliffe, President of the Bank, maintains a close relationship to KGNU and continues to work to provide us with the best financial services possible and remains committed to continuing to build our relationship despite the need for KGNU to refinance our mortgage with a different partner in FY2011
Another deep and continual thank you to Mike Massa and his team at Accounting Specialists. Last year, I joked in this report that without these people our books simply would not exist and that Sam & I would be found curled up the fetal position while crying in the corner of the Grey Studio, and business simply would not be done. That continues to be true, and in FY2011 Mike (and his team) continued to impress and support us by responding with acuity to accounting changes, proactively detecting interesting trends, and dealing with the pace of business at KGNU that times can be exceedingly fast but also frustratingly slow. They maintained and demonstrated professionalism, wisdom, and genuine care & support of KGNU through this all. Their support begins at the significant financial consideration for KGNU, Mikes service to KGNU beyond simple accounting, their buy-in to our work & mission, and into their own advocacy of our organization.
Jim Carlo continued his return from retirement in FY2011 consistently providing wisdom, statistical support, and decision support in meetings, the budgeting process, and monthly reviews
A special thanks to Arrone Arpel of the eponymous Arrone Arpel, CPA, LLC. Arrone has long served as the BCBAs independent auditor and performed these services with an expertise specific to KGNUs business that is shown in the quality & efficiency of the independent audit produced yearly. Despite audit services being Arrone Arpel, CPA, LLCs primary income, Arrone has continued to provide a generous consideration on audit fees for KGNU. The Budget Committee truly appreciates Arrones support and hard work.
All our listener-members, supporters, and lenders whose support makes these numbers appear on the spreadsheets.

If you see any of these people, please take the time to thank them for their work and contribution to KGNU. If you are one of the many people who should be listed here, but are not due to time, space, or synapse limitations on behalf of the Budget Committee, please feel free to write-in above and send this back to basit@kgnu.org and I will happily redact the latest copy!
Overview of FY2011 Operational Methodology, Performance, Balance Sheet, and Overall Position
The Boulder Community Broadcast Association completed its most FY2011 on 30 September 2011. While final and certified statements are not yet available and minor items will continue to be booked to the ledger, the Budget Committee believes the major body of business has been settled. To provide a most realistic and useful perspective on the financials for FY2011 in light of these remaining accounting items and to reflect an accurate view of continuing operations, this report speaks to FY2011 numbers from an adjusted continuing operations view. Unadjusted financials (e.g. as booked), audited statements, and supporting materials are always publicly available online, in person at KGNUs Boulder Studio, and upon reasonable request of any employee or officer of the organization. This view was created to forecast pending expense items that are not yet booked or finalized, to remove aberrational (e.g. non-continuing) events in I&E, and to normalize bluebird events. The extent of significant adjustments include: 1. 2. 3. Adjustment of Grant Expense for anticipated/indirect costs not yet finalized Removal of Bequests/Planned Giving as an operational income item Normalization of the Events line item to account for Noam Chomskys generous event in benefit of KGNU
In an adjusted continuing operations view, KGNU performed largely on-plan for FY2011.The FY2011 budget (and resulting adjusted plan view) was created on a conservative set of assumptions in a risk-averse methodology. Income line items (especially in the form of CPB Allocation and Underwriting) were conservatively planned, with only moderate stretch goals budgeted where absolutely reasonable (Memberships, Grants, Events). The payments into cash reserves were conservatively set to gradually return KGNU to an acceptable reserve requirement following 3 fiscal years of cash reserve draw down to service debt and complete key capital projects. KGNU has also been gifted the reduction of $50,000.00 of debt per year by a generous supporter who was part of the 1390 Capital Campaign until that note reaches a zero principal. This Release of Debt item factors favorably into the net income calculations. Plan Income Expense $758,788 $793,748 Actual $770,118 (101% of plan) $798,177 (101% of Plan)
Table 1. Overview of Operational Income & Expense vs. Plan (FY2011) In FY2011, KGNU was able to replenish cash reserves to a bare minimum operational level largely based on an unexpected $50,000.00 bequest, above-plan performance in Special Events from Noam Chomskys visit, and impressive performance in the Underwriting program. FY2011 Annual Report 8
The raw-and-unadjusted view should be used to understand what actually occurred in terms of cash flow and how these payments were made, however, to summarize herein, KGNU made a $177,044 payment into cash reserves in FY2011, well above the reduced number budgeted for FY2011. The adjusted continuing operations view, however, provides insight into what (subset) level of contributions & operations occurred when one does not consider events outside the control of KGNU staff, volunteers, and development/fundraising programs. In this view, KGNUs work remains strong, especially in the context of a weak economy, tenuous (if at all) recovery in personal incomes, and weak foundation/institutional giving. However, when non-continuing operational items are removed from the calculus, the overrun in income is largely dissolved. This is an important item to note in financial, strategic, and operational planning that while our work, constituency, and mission resonance remain strong with our supporters & listeners the challenges around us continue to persist and growth in income from continuing operations cannot reasonably be expected or justified to continue at levels in the raw, unadjusted financials.
