The economic report

1. Incomes

The total income without the investment grant of the founder were planned at 72 645 thousand CZK. In the course of the year as namely the attendance rates were increasing, we adapted the budget of the incomes up to the amount of 84 838 thousand CZK. This adapted budget was then fulfilled at 100%, which compared to the year of 2005 represents a decrease by 6%. Here it is necessary to mention the fact that our original supposition of the decrease of the income was compared to the year 2005 twice as big, i.e. approx. by 12−15%, as a consequence of the expected attendance rates 930−980 thousand of visitors. The most important part of the incomes is the receipts from attendance fees that reached the amount of 68.5 mil CZK and thus cover 35.5% of total costs. Another important part of the incomes is the specifically determined donations that reached the amount of 5 826 thousand CZK and so were fulfilled at 97.1% out of the planned 6 mil CZK. However, the reason is that the donations provided for buying food at the end of year could not be all used and part of them remained in the incomes for future periods.

Among the other incomes there are namely:

a) lease of the areas within the zoo. …………………... 1 074 thousand CZK

b) receipts from transportation …………………………..  75 thousand CZK

c) receipts from the sold promotional goods    ……..…   332 thousand CZK

d) activation of long-term tangible property   ………….   85 thousand CZK

e) interests  …………………………….…………………  268 thousand CZK

f) using the bonus fund ………………………………….   5 293 thousand CZK

g) other incomes  ……………………………………..….  1 829 thousand CZK

h) receipts from the sold materials …………………….   625 thousand CZK

In the other incomes we also brought to the books the correction of the depreciations from the previous years in the amount of 1 524 thousand CZK (mistake in the Gordic programme).

The non-investment grant of the founder for operation provided at the amount of 101 500 thousand CZK was drawn up to 99 338 thousand CZK, i.e. 97.9% and so the saving represents 2 162 thousand CZK.

The non-investment resources form the subsidy from the Ministry of Environment at the amount of 8 204 thousand CZK were drawn apart from 191. – CZK.

Project for Single Programming Document 3:

Altogether the amount of 517.6 thousand CZK was approved for this project in this classification:

            The resources were drawn in the following way:

The difference was put in the books as a claim for the national budget and EU and will be dealt with within the budget adaptations of the project in 2007.

2. Expenditures

In total the expenditures decreased compared to 2005 by 4%. In the approved budget they were planned for 173 645 thousand CZK, throughout the year the plan was adapted up to 195 060 thousand CZK. The adapted plan was fulfilled at 99%, i.e. 193 032 thousand CZK.

Consumed purchases:

Totally these costs decreased by 7% compared to 2005, and the adapted budget at the amount of 50 329 thousand CZK was fulfilled up to 96.2%, i.e. 48 415 thousand CZK.

a1) consumption of materials

Compared to 2005 this consumption was lower by 8%. The approved budget of 19 530 thousand CZK was adapted to the final sum of 26 894 thousand CZK mainly due to the assigned grant of the Ministry of the Environment for feeding and materials (7 294.4 thousand CZK) and part of the grant for the SPD 3 project (120 thousand CZK). In analytic monitoring the consumption of basic material decreased from 7 091 thousand CZK in 2005 to 6 013 thousand CZK. The relatively high consumption was caused mainly by the fact that thank to expedient margin at the long-term suppliers we used it also for the repairs provided by external companies which decreased the price of these reconstructions. In the course of the year we significantly adapted the budgets for these expenses at low value tangible assets from 1 600 thousand CZK to 2 610 thousand CZK. This happened namely due to the necessity to equip the newly opened object of technological rare spaces II with stock and office technologies and we also renewed the computer technology.

Compared to the year of 2005 there were lower drawings at numerous items (thousands CZK):

The saving of the expenses for the fuel is the result of the opening of our own filling station for oil and the decrease in the total number of the passed kilometres by all the means of transport (328 thousand km/365 thousand km).

a2) consumption of energy: 

− Electricity: these expenses were influenced by the increase of the price but also by the fact that the pavilions opened in 2005 were in operation throughout the year and also the 2005/2006 winter was extremely long. So the expenses compared to 2005 increased by 20%, from 10 963 thousand CZK to 13 156 thousand CZK (in the real units it is the increase from 7.3 mil kWh to 7.5 mil kWh).

− Water rates: Contrastingly these expenses decreased from 4 643 thousand CZK in 2005 to 3 156 thousand CZK, i.e. by 32% as a result of more effective use of water from our own wells, water from the river Vltava and also of the total decrease of consumption (drinking water 109 thousand m³/122 thousand m³). 

− Gas: interannually the expenses increased from 1 739 thousand CZK to 2 475 thousand CZK, i.e. by 42%. This increase is the result of the full year of operation of the pavilion of Indonesian jungle, technological rear spaces I and towards the end of the year also technological rear spaces II. Just as at the electric energy the expenses for the consumption of gas were much influenced by the long winter.

3. Services:

The expenses for services were in 2006 lower by 17 111 thousand CZK than in 2005. The significant decrease of these expenses reflects the fact that in 2005 the after-flood renewal of the garden was finished and so the state and conditions of the buildings, communications and technical state of the machines, equipment and technologies of the buildings was much improved and also the care for all the property was much better.

Routine repairs and maintenance:

These expenses decreased from 26 328 thousand CZK in 2005 to 12 738 thousand CZK, i.e. by 52%.

− Constructions and buildings: The original budget was 5 million CZK and it was decreased during the year to 3.150 mil CZK. The adapted budget was fulfilled. Among the more important reconstructions there were:

Reconstruction of the outside aviaries of pavilion of big cats … 420 thousand CZK

Repairs of the nets of the aviary for leopards…………………  168 thousand CZK

Reconstruction of the facing of the maintenance building  ……  363 thousand CZK

Reconstruction of the wall and bars in the range for elephants …195 thousand CZK

Reconstruction of the pump well incl. the steel construction …. 130 thousand CZK

− Communications: Compared to 2005 the expenses decreased from 2 685 thousand CZK to 1 777 thousand CZK, i.e. by 34%. The communication at the pavilion of big cats was reconstructed (240 thousand CZK), pavilion Sichuan, the outside exposition for hippopotamuses and around the cableway (173 thousand CZK), reconstruction of the paving in the rear spaces of the African House (340 thousand CZK), panel spaces in the rear spaces Bosnia (181 thousand CZK) and the lay-by spaces in the bottom part of the garden (351 thousand CZK).
