In Example 1, the Q2 year to date actuals for operating income were 186% of plan. The revenue versus plan is 96% of plan. The operating income bonus is limited to 100% because the revenue is less than 100% of plan. The revenue bonus is paid out per the plan formula. This example assumes MBO attainment at 100%. The resulting bonus paid would be 92% of total eligible bonus.

In Example 2, the year to date actuals for operating income were 105% of plan. The revenue versus plan is 100% of plan. The operating income bonus is paid at 105% based on the plan formula due. The revenue bonus is paid at 100% per the plan formula.

Using Q2 as an example, 100% of revenue budget would generate approximately $573,000 in incremental sales or $458,000 incremental gross margin dollars.

Addendum to Plan for Brian E. Dearing:
 
1.  M&A/Alliance Transaction – 25% paid in the quarter the event occurs.
 
           $29,750
 
2.  Re-Financing the CBT Loan – 25% paid in the quarter the event occurs.  My objective here is to find a way to re-pay the portion of the CBT loan that would trigger the interest going from 10% to 14%.  The savings to ARI if we can finance the loan at 10% is over $800K so paying $30K for doing that is a bargain imo.
 
$29,750
 
3.  F&I Business Unit Performance – 10% paid quarterly for achieving its revenue objectives (half of the dollars) and for achieving its operating income target.  The targets are the FY10 approved plan.
 
1. revenue = $5,950 / 4 quarters
 
2. operating income = $5,950 / 4 quarters
 
4.  CBT Performance – 15% paid quarterly for achieving its revenue objectives (half of the dollars) and for achieving its operating income target.  The targets are the FY10 approved plan.  (Darin is working to define how we will measure operating income for this unit, for Q1 I recommend that payment be based on revenue,).
 
1. revenue = $8,925 / 4 quarters
 
2. operating income = $8,925 / 4 quarters

5.  ARI Performance – 15% paid consistent with all ARI executives.  This payment will be based on revenue, revenue growth and operating income (5% on each).
 
1. revenue growth = $8,925 / 4 quarters
 
2. operating income = $8,925 / 4 quarters
 
6.  MBO’s
 
 
Public Reporting – 5% - Continue as the acting CFO for public reporting for Q2, Q3 and Q4 FY10 while training Darin Janecek to take over all responsibilities in this area starting Q1 FY11.
$5,950/4
 
 
Cash Management/Forecasting – 5% - Continue to be the point person on managing cash and the cash forecast.  Transition this process to Darin Janecek so that he is accountable for this function starting Q4 FY10.
