On the Standard Statement of Operations (page 5 of the financial 
reports), the rows that are restricted revenues and expenses are 
25-Project Program Revenue, 37-Building Fundraising Expenses, 58-Campus 
Outreach, and 90-Project Program Other. If you don't include these 
amounts, then the totals for unrestricted funds are:

Support and Revenues:         $1,046,303.81
Cost of Support & Revenues: $243,131.32
Program Expenses:                 $866,526.53

Thus, the operational deficit for 2013 was $63,354.04. 
(1046303.81-243131.32-866526.53)
Since the budgeted revenues was $1,163,250, the unrestricted revenues 
were $116,946.19 less than budgeted. The Cost of Support & Revenues and 
the Program Expenses also ran below budget.
