About Your Budget Committee


The Boulder Community Broadcast Associations (d/b/a KGNU Radio) bylaws instruct the board to maintain a standing committee charged with the creation, maintenance of, and reporting against an operating budget and related financial management & processes as they concern the organization. This committee is to be chaired by the Treasurer of the Board of Directors with membership unrestricted from the KGNU staff, volunteer, and board groups alike. Currently, Basit Mustafa serves as the Treasurer of the Board and the Chairperson of the Budget Committee. The most generous roster of committee membership is most likely reflected in the membership roster for the budget@kgnu.org mailing list, however, the active members of the Budget Committee (defined as attending meetings in a consistent fashion, contributing a notable body of work to the core mission of the committee, or providing on-going counsel as a functioning member of the committee) as understood by the leadership at the conclusion of FY2011 are, in no particular order, as follows: Mike Massa, Accounting Specialists & KGNU Accountant Sam Fuqua, Station Manager/Executive Director, KGNU Radio Jim Carlo Basit Mustafa, Chairperson, Treasurer & Director, BCBA d/b/a KGNU Radio Karen Gruber Shawna Sprowls, Membership Director, KGNU Radio

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

Thanks & Gratitude


A debt of gratitude is owed to anyone who has ever contributed, volunteered, or even tuned in to KGNU on-the-air or online. However, despite making this an exceedingly long document, it would also overshadow the only recognition that many of the key behind-the-scenes players in KGNUs fiscal operations receive. The Budget Committee would like to specifically thank a few individuals & organizations for their work with or on the Budget Committee:

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.

FY2011 Annual Report

Boulder Community Broadcast Association

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

Boulder Community Broadcast Association

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.

Statement on Net Income


KGNU plans against a balanced budget and all intermediate operational forecasts & course adjustments are made with that goal in mind. However, outside of sheer statistically improbable luck or fancy accounting tricks/line items, a net-zero result is quite elusive. For FY2011 KGNU did plan for a net-zero income based on an understanding of non-continuing operational items to occur in FY2011. However, once release of debt Is accounted and other adjustments are made to create the continuing operations view (e.g. removal of these items) a non-zero net income occurs. The operational direction has been to leverage this years modest operating surplus to provide 100% for debt service.

Assets & Liabilities (Balance Sheet)


In FY2011, KGNU worked to return its cash reserve to acceptable levels (minimum of three months of operating budget & reasonable liquid cash requirements for emergency response on facilities & physical plant catastrophe).

Accounting Errata & Information


1. KGNU transitioned to gross accounting treatment for Grants and Underwriting in 3Q11. Based on this methodology, all income in both of these categories will be booked as income and associated expense items (such as commissions, administration, operational expense, etc) will be applied as expenses. 2. KGNU has begun to book a restriction in assets for cash reserves to create a more accurate view of liquidity

Budget Committee FY2011 Activities & Operations


The management & planning of BCBA/KGNU finances remains the single largest task and deliverable of the budget committee. In addition to the work in managing the FY11 financial operations, planning, and treasury, the Budget Committee engaged in several other activities: 1. Renegotiation and refinance of the Boulder Studio mortgage to a 5.25% rate fixed for 60 months on a 10 year term (balloon) on a 25 year schedule with an intent to renew at year 10 (balloon instrument necessary to work inside Federal Law regarding Credit Union lending) 2. 3. Improvement & formalization of pipeline, forecasting, and planning processes Roles, responsibilities, and control book discussions + formalization

FY2012 Outlook & Commentary


No financial report is typically complete without a disclaimer about forward-looking statements and this is no exception! In any economic environment, forecasting can be a black art at best in items one and ones organization can control (e.g. controllable expense, continuing operations, etc) but in items beyond ones control in an election year well, black art would be a level of certainty we are yet to observe. With that said, the KGNU Budget Committee has agreed upon an FY2012 outlook and has a number of recommendations for operations in FY2012. The Budget Committee prefers its crow served braised. We believe FY2012 will continue to be marked by a stagnant economy, increased inflationary pressures, continued challenges in personal income, foundation/institutional giving, and a risk-averse temperament of both individuals and companies/government to long-term & discretionary spend. However, localized improvements in job growth in white-collar industries, limited local recovery of economic activity, and favorable personal income trends in our areas provide a slight buffer to the broader uncertainty & flat-at-best forecast for GDP and incomes. Inside this localized recovery we believe opportunities for improved performance in Major Gifts through the proper work/prospecting/engagement, membership improvement in gift-per-member and new memberships, and continued strength in Underwriting from local businesses exists and is reflected in the FY2012 Budget assumptions in more detail. Organizationally, the Budget Committee believes a focus on codifying, streamlining, and automating processes especially between logical, organizational, and individual functions is an important path to organizational growth and driving further efficiencies into operations. Specifically, we believe that the individual procedures inside each tower of the organization (and, despite whatever the outward appearance maybe, on the desk of each employee), our processes are mostly appropriately defined, executed, documented, and stewarded. Interfaces between each desk/logical function also show sophistication in some areas. Extending this is an important area of focus for the Budget Committee in the work we do internally, but also with other parts of the organization. Defining what data is exchange with whom, in what format, at what frequency/event, and how we can improve or streamline that (or at least better understand it) presents several areas for productivity enhancement.

Budget Committee FY2012 Planned Activities & Operations


Obviously, continued steady-state operation, management, planning, and analysis of the operations, assets, and treasury will continue as normal. Further focus on formalizing, automating, and streamlining processes & documentation will continue. Specifically: 1. 2. Creation of a consolidated control book documenting processes, dates, checkpoints, and assumptions from existing documents Formal definition of roles, responsibilities, and work items, their responsible parties, and the organizational and data/IT interfaces between them in the data & work flow 3. Build ion FY10 and FY11 work in creating consistent templates for reports, accounting rules, pipeline & forecast information, and interfaces outside committee 16

FY2012 Operational Budget


The BCBA board approved the proposed KGNU Operational Budget for FY2012 at the August Board of Directors meeting. A detailed discussion of the process, work items, work products, and particulars can be found in the minutes of this and the preceding two months meetings and the deliverables documented in those minutes. The FY2012 budget retains the conservative assumptions of FY2011 and further adopts gross accounting treatment for Underwriting & Grants informally introduced in FY2011 as a formal methodology.

Closing Remarks From The Treasurer


KGNUs value in the community is evident in many ways over the nearly 34 years of community media, KGNU has taken on many roles, touched many lives, and been the medium for expression for a diverse gamut of thoughts, ideas, sounds, and artful expressions. This has only been possible by committed volunteers in every part of KGNUs operations, skilled and dedicated staffers (who certainly dont do this for the money!), and engaged supporters (both financially and otherwise) who meld KGNUs mission their own passions. As we head into FY2012, this dedication from all parts of the KGNU community shows strength worthy of its years & history, even in an environment where individuals are facing tough choices and distracting events. In fact, whether it was being an active community player in responding to local emergencies, being the reliable outlet for news & opinion on the news & topics of the day that represents a voice unheard elsewhere, or being the purveyor of fine music, art, and sounds you cant find anywhere else with our strong staff, volunteers, and supporters KGNUs engagement, support, and relevance grows through time thick and thin. FY2011 was successful from a financial perspective because of our dedication to the organization and we believe that continuing with this spirit and building on our heritage in FY2012 is the clearest, most reliable, and most valuable path to success financial and for our mission.
