Key Performance Indicators

Key Financial Indicators

1. Revenue, Equity, Assets
   Rationale: This indicator shows CEPA’s evolution in very pragmatic, financial terms. It gives a transparent overview of the organisation’s status.
   
   

   	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014
   Operating  Revenue (in Rs. Mn.)	42.99	60.77	83.77	107.70	110.49
   Operating Surplus/ (Deficit) (in Rs. Mn.)	(4.41)	(5.42)	4.31	11.65	(1.80)
   Total Assets (in Rs. Mn.)	98.40	81.42	104.18	142.84	142.88

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   The operating revenue and the surplus is exclusive of the earnings of the Development Fund.
   
   
2. Growth of CEPA Development Fund
