THANKS TO YOUR SUPPORT... Mark Stanislawski Thanks to your support, SOPTV brings “the best television on television” to southern Oregon and northern California . Last November the SOPTV Board of Directors approved our Fiscal Year 2017 audit for July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, and soon you will be able to see the audit on our website along with annual financial reporting . INCOME SOURCES BY FISCAL YEAR FY ’17 FY ’16 Individual Contributions $746,173 $731,833 Grants 29,270 0 National & Local Business Support 237,896 790,165 Production Contracts 112,273 85,386 Community Service Grant from CPB 846,239 739,689 In-Kind & Donated Services 51,618 59,328 Other 35,876 10,567 Total Sources $2,059,345 $2,416,968 OPERATING EXPENSES Programming Services & Production $1,042,781 $1,519,065 Broadcast Operations 155,982 185,900 Development 438,452 356,330 Administration & General 470,920 435,912 Total Expenses with Depreciation $2,108,135 $2,497,207

FY 2017 Summary: Membership contributions increased in FY 2017 since we have moved to a new database . We also experienced an increase in expenses due to implementation costs and software licensing fees . Also in FY 2017 we presented SIGHT: The Story of Vision to public television stations . SIGHT was underwritten by eight sponsors starting in the previous year, boosting our national program underwriting in FY 2016, which then declined in FY 2017 . Local underwriting in FY 2017 totaled $158,283 . Local programming had another good year with our tribute to our local veterans on My Story of Service and additional Local Focus Specials . We also continued production of Student Showcase, The Jeffersonian (our partnership with SOU students) and worked with Jeff Golden to take Immense Possibilities to a national audience . While we fell a little short of meeting overall goals and covering our equipment depreciation target, the year as a whole was successful thanks to your support . Many thanks again,

Mark Stanislawski President & CEO
