TABLE 9.4

Financial Statement for a Small Nonprofit Organization

figure

The profit margin ratio is problematic because the nonprofit had a slight deficit this year. Questions that need to be answered include: Is this loss a one-time event or has this nonprofit been in this situation before? Is this nonprofit building intergenerational equity over time? What is the trend over five or ten years?

Looking at the degree of diversity in revenues, the analyst can see that this nonprofit organization depends heavily on government contracts; in contrast, contributions are quite a small proportion of the revenues. Certainly, the nonprofit would benefit from a greater emphasis on contributions.

It is possible to conclude that, although the nonprofit does not have immediate concerns about liquidity and solvency, this nonprofit organization needs to stabilize its profit margin and improve its sustainability of resources through revenue diversification. More could be learned through an in-depth examination of the sources and uses of revenue.
