5. Finance Report Year-to-date March 2013 Financial Highlights: YTD Mar-13 revenue is $5.8m and below budget by $209 thousand. The unfavorable variance is mainly related to a change in accounting methodology for recognizing certification voucher revenue beginning in 2013. YTD Mar-13 operating income was $648 thousand and above plan as result of lower-than-budgeted expenses. Unrestricted cash and investments at end of Mar-13 were $2.8m and $8.6m respectively. 5
