6. Report on the financial management

Revenues

In 2004, the CAFIA had a task to accomplish the income index amounting to 3,968,000 CZK. This amount was based on the situation in 2003 when the CAFIA reached higher incomes from the sale of tangible property (e.g. sale of laboratory appliances). As during the year 2004 the income index could not have been accomplished to the determined amount, the CAFIA asked to reduce the income index by 1,000,000 CZK. After this adaptation the binding income index was successfully accomplished at 101.45%. The highest income item comprised incomes from performed analyses, amounting up to 1,166,000 CZK.

Current expenses

In 2004, the CAFIA worked with current expenses budget mounted by 7,083,000 CZK that were appropriated for controls of imports from third countries, travel allowance in the Czech Republic and abroad, analyses carried out outside the CAFIA, and information and communication technologies. Furthermore, these extra expenses were appropriated for establishing the nationwide radiation monitoring network, accreditation of some laboratory methods, and purchase of laboratory appliances.

The highest expense item of current expenses constitute staff wage costs. The limit for this item was 113,332,000 CZK.

The highest item of other personal expenses were contracts for work for which it was planned to spend up to 600,000 CZK. However, only 419,000 CZK were drawn (as against last year amount of 519,000 CZK). The reason for this lower draw down is shift in grape vine harvest due to climatic conditions and subsequent decrease in applications for verification of grape saccharinity.

Special-purpose and material expenses

The highest item constitute information and communication technology costs which amounted to 9,862,000 CZK in 2004.

Capital expenses

Resources amounting up to 26,966,000 CZK were appropriated for purchasing laboratory appliances for inspection of irradiated foodstuffs, implementation of the “Wine” information system, economic information system, and purchase of computing technology.

Another 5,000,000 CZK were appropriated for renewal of personal company cars, purchase of laboratory appliances and equipments. For purchasing laboratory appliance designated for anabolic analyses the grant system was increased by 600,000,000 CZK. As the laboratory appliances will be purchased in 2005, the sources were transferred to reserve fund.

Capital expenses planned for 2004 amounting up to 32,566,000 CZK were in fact drawn in the amount of 34,560,000 CZK, i.e. at 106.12%. The reason for exceeding the limit was drawing of resources from the reserve fund for year 2003. The reserve fund resources were used for purchasing computing technology, purchasing the plot of the inspectorate in Hradec Králové and for the project documentation for reconstruction of the personal lift at the inspectorate in Brno.

Out-of-budget sources

In 2004, the CAFIA exceeded binding index of special-purpose and other current expenses by payments of insurance claims, amounting up to 72,373 CZK.
