3<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>Ballet</strong> dancersDEAR CINCINNATIBALLET LOVERS,Each season, it feels as though the goodnews we have the privilege of sharingjust gets bigger and better. In manyways, the <strong>2011</strong>–<strong>2012</strong> <strong>Season</strong> was a dreamcome true. The holidays brought the arrivalof our brand new Frisch’s PresentsThe Nutcracker which exceeded even ourhighest expectations. This productionwas the culmination of years of hopefulplans and the tireless effort of so many.While we are immensely proud of whattranspired onstage, it’s what happenedoffstage that lies at the core of our success.The community that rallied behindus and the relationships built with wonderfulnew supporters and communityleaders were humbling and invigorating.We are so blessed!On the financial front, our box office exceeded$2 million in ticket sales for thefirst time in our history – truly a gloriousvictory for us! It’s an achievement worthyof a standing ovation.There are so many other great momentsto celebrate. We are still haunted by thesounds of Johnny Cash’s voice floatingthrough the halls of the <strong>Ballet</strong> Centerand readily recall the unexpected emotionalclimax of The Man in Black fromour Kaplan New Works Series.

Budig Academyis bursting at the seams, with moregraduates going on to pursue competitivehigher education dance programs,including one who will be joining theupper ranks of the Royal <strong>Ballet</strong> School.Our education and outreach programsare reaching further into the communitythan ever before.Artistically, when we recall some of themore uncertain moments of the season– devastating injuries and last-minutecasting changes – we were overwhelmedwith pride by the overall strength and tenacityof our company of dancers. Theirability to step in at a moment’s notice orto painfully work their way back to physicalhealth is no small feat. They supporteach other both onstage and off, andwhen we saw our corps de ballet trulybreathing as one during Giselle, we knewwe had achieved something remarkable.The end of the season allowed us to takea collective breath as we closed anotherMuch of the spring was spent deep inconversation and data analysis withsome of our closest friends as we spentcountless hours developing our strategicplan for the <strong>2012</strong>–2016 <strong>Season</strong>s.While it is ambitious, we are confidentit is achievable and has the potential tousher in a new era at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>Ballet</strong>.Embracing the tremendous potential inherentin the celebration of our 50th Anniversaryduring the 2013–2014 <strong>Season</strong>,we are poised for even greater things tocome.

FINANCE39Financial <strong>Report</strong>Craig Lattarulo, Director of FinanceFor the fourth consecutive year, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>Ballet</strong> closed the <strong>2011</strong>–<strong>2012</strong> <strong>Season</strong> with a substantial financial surplus. Ticket sales exceedgoal by $158,000, or 8.5%, to reach over $2M in sales, aided in largepart by Frisch’s Presents The New Nutcracker. The organization hassuccessfully managed the operating budget and closely monitoredrevenue and expense activity, finishing the year with small variancesfrom budget to actual. Overall operating revenues exceeded the$6.1M budget by about $181,000, or 2%. Total operating expensesexceeded the $6.1M budget by about $60,000, or just 1%. With carefulmonitoring and successes in revenue goals, the year ended with a$127,000 surplus, adding to the growing fund balance and increasingcash reserves. From 2007 to <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>Ballet</strong>’s net asset basehas grown from $4.1M to $5.9M, a 44% increase. This is the result ofan accumulated operating surplus and the Frisch’s Presents The NewNutcracker capital campaign.For the coming <strong>2012</strong>–2013 <strong>Season</strong>, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>Ballet</strong>’s budget hasincreased to approximately $6.8M. This $700,000 increase over the<strong>2011</strong>–<strong>2012</strong> budget is the result of increased production costs dueto exciting and artistically engaging season programming and theanticipation of increased staffing needs. The organization continuesto budget for contingencies and challenge expenses in the hopesof further increasing reserve funds and cash flow. The FinanceDepartment looks forward to finalizing the implementation of SageFund Accounting software, a transition long overdue as the currentprovider Paciolan no longer supports its existing accounting package.Updated software will allow for better tracking and reporting on allexpense and revenue categories and departments, as well as savePatric Palkens & <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>Ballet</strong> dancersstaff time with push-button reporting and enhanced modules.
