  2. WHAT ARE RESERVES? Reserves are ECOS’ savings They are extremely useful, helping to build ECOS’ financial sustainability Reserves are the accumulated surpluses and deficits which build up from year to year Surplus: Excess of income over expenditures Deficit: Excess of expenditures over income

  3. Elimination ECOS deficit 2010-2013 • Beginning 2010 surplus + 6.750 ▫ In 2010 deficit - 58.094 • Beginning 2011 deficit - 51.345 ▫ In 2011 surplus + 14.119 • Beginning 2012 deficit - 37.226 ▫ In 2012 surplus + 14.688 • Beginning 2013 deficit - 22.537 ▫ In 2013 surplus* + 28.916 • Beginning 2014 surplus* + 6.379 * = expected

  4. THE NEED FOR RESERVES Reserves act as a buffer or safety margin: • to meet ECOS’ legal financial obligations in case of dismantling and/or dismissal of staff • to cover operational expenditure which the EC/donors do not consider eligible • to ensure regular cash flows in case of delayed instalments, unexpected income loss or any other exceptional circumstances

  5. LEVEL OF RESERVES • The reserves shall enable ECOS to meet its legal financial obligations under Belgian law covering 3 months of staff remunerations and 3 months of running costs. • In September 2013, the ultimate financial reserves to build can be estimated to amount to 122.500 € : ▫ 100.000 € for salaries ▫ 22.500 € for running costs

  6. HOW TO GENERATE RESERVES? Generate reserves from un restricted income: • Membership fees • Unspent income from EC service contracts • Some small income like reimbursements
