| ANALYSIS OF PROGRAM EXPENSES AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE: | FORM 990, PART IX | HELPMESEE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC SECTOR WITH AN EFFICIENT AND TRANSPARENT BUSINESS MODEL OF ACHIEVING ITS GOALS AND MAKING SURE THAT EACH DONOR FULLY UNDERSTANDS HOW THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE BEING ALLOCATED. AS OF DECEMBER 2012, 100% OF CONTRIBUTIONS FROM GENERAL PUBLIC - INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATIONS AND OTHER FOUNDATIONS - ARE ALLOCATED TO THE DELIVERY OF SURGERIES. CAPITAL INVESTMENT, OTHER PROGRAM EXPENSES, FUNDRAISING EXPENSES AND MANAGEMENT & GENERAL EXPENSES ARE SUPPORTED BY THE GENEROUS UELTSCHI FAMILY FOUNDATION AND BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION. DURING YEAR 2012, WE RECEIVED 3 MILLION OF DEFERRED CONTRIBUTION FROM BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION WITH PENDING SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MSICS SIMULATOR. THIS DEFERRED CONTRIBUTION WILL NOT BE REPORTED AS PUBLIC SUPPORT IN FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND FORM 990 UNTIL MEETING THE AGREED MILESTONE. IN 2012, 72% OF TOTAL EXPENSES DIRECTLY SUPPORTED SIGHT-SAVING PROJECTS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD, INCLUDING 3% OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT TO DEVELOP THE MSICS SIMULATOR ($343,094) AND COURSEWARE ($658,698), WHICH WILL BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE DELIVERY OF CATARACT SURGERY AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. BY THE END OF 2015, WHEN THE SIMULATOR AND SIMULATOR COURSEWARE ARE COMPLETE, HELPMESEE EXPECTS ITS PROGRAM EXPENSES TO INCREASE TO AT LEAST 78% OF TOTAL EXPENSES. |
