18 Impact of the Weaker Dollar Mosaic Place’s major ticketed events, concerts, performances Concert related revenue for Canadian venues took a and multi-day competitions, directly account for 20% of its substantial dip in 2015 with weak Canadian dollar being the annual revenue. Additionally, ancillary event revenue, is catalyst for the downturn, having a two-fold effect. Fewer acts achieved from food & beverage sales, ATM fees, vendor tour Canada as the weak dollar has made it much more volume rebates, etc. The hosting of these major events also lucrative to tour the U.S. This is especially true for the bigger has a major impact on the Mosaic Place brand and the naming name acts. Secondly, expenses for the acts that are touring right’s fees associated with it. are paid in USD currently adding over 40% on to the talent expense. In 2015, DFFH paid over $200,000 in US exchange. A strong year the Mosaic place concert series will deliver over $500,000 in net revenue to DFFH’s operations while a lean year, such as 2015 or 2016 will result in $200,000.

19 Value of the Operating Subsidy
The lion’s share of DFFH’s annual operating subsidy is retained by or returned to the city in the form of capital and equipment reserves, property taxes and services rendered. This leaves DFFH with less than $60,000 in city subsidy to meet it’s annual operating expense.
