3. Fair Share 2013 • Fair Share was based on different adjusted income calculation / income year than denominational support • Disconnect between what was being reported at year end report and what was being reported monthly • Monthly compensation reporting was inconsistent with compensation reported to FMCUSA:HR • Pension was bundled into the Fair Share and obscured the true staffing expense for the local church • Churches paying their fair share were subsidizing EPP and Pension payments for churches not participating or under-participating • Sizable shortfalls in Pension and EPP due to these factor. At one point Pension and EPP payables had grown to over $290,000 and $300,000 respectively. Total obligation has been cut to $11K pension and $233K EPP. concerns in the old model

This will also help ensure that we fully fund denominational, WAVE and conference operations. • The system will be simplified dramatically. No more monthly reporting is required. 2013 Fair Share and Pension will be known in advance for budgeting purposes. Invoices will be generated for the local church and direct draws will be offered as an option. the new model: Benefits
