2. Mead Meals on Wheels (MMW) has a contract with the city to feed homebound elderly people. Under the contract, MMW earns $140 per month for each person enrolled in the program. MMW expects to deliver meals to the number of seniors shown below. The city pays one-half of the amount MMW bills one month after the services are delivered, and one-half two months after billing. It costs MMW $125 for food and fuel for each person it feeds. Suppliers demand payment one month after food and fuel is used. This is MMW?s first year of operation. It started the year with $17,000 in cash.

What is MMW?s expected surplus or deficit for the first quarter based solely on contract revenue, food and fuel expenses?

What does MMW?s expect its cash balance to be at the end of the first quarter based solely on contract revenue, food and fuel expenses?

3. The State University Research Foundation (SURF) expects to have the revenue and expenses shown in the operating budget below. The state research contract pays SURF two quarters after it is billed and the Foundation pays SURF one quarter after it is billed. Salaries are paid in the quarter the expense is incurred and supplies are paid for one quarter after they are used. Assuming SURF starts the 3rd quarter with $500, prepare a properly-formatted cash budget for the 3rd Quarter of the year.

4. The Teaching & Learning Research Center at UAlbany needs to prepare a budget for a research proposal to do an in-depth study of Rensselaer County?s after-school programs. The County is willing to pay $17,500 for each site studied, up to 15 sites. A report must be submitted within a year of the start of the project.

Regardless of the number of sites, the Center will need a primary researcher at $60,000 per year and 2 associate researchers at $35,000 each per year to do the study. Supervising the site studies is the responsibility of the associate researchers. Each associate researcher will be able to supervise up to eight sites. Research assistants are needed to transcribe field notes and provide support for the associate researchers. These part-time research assistants are each paid $6,000 and are only able to support 3 site studies each. The center must budget 30% of the salary of the primary and associate researchers for fringe benefits.

Based on past experience, the Center estimates that it will need $2,500 for supplies. Researchers will have to travel to each research site. Each trip will cost $20 and the center expects that 40 trips will be made to each site during the study.

Prepare a budget of revenues and expenses for a study that includes 9 sites, 12 sites, and 15 sites.

These financial statements are the responsibility of WAMC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WAMC as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedules of Other Support and Revenue and Functional Expenses is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Page 4 WAMC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2010 and 2009 NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization - WAMC is a nonprofit public telecommunications entity, organized in 1981, with broadcasting coverage in New York State and western New England. As a publicly supported radio station, WAMC receives substantially all of its support and revenue from listeners, underwriters, fees for the production of programming, and under various federal and state grants. Basis of Accounting - WAMC's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the principles of accounting and financial reporting for public telecommunications entities issued by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Under CPB accounting principles, the statement of activities is intended to present functional type expenditure classifications, which reflect both program and supporting services. The specific program and supporting services functional classifications, as presented in the financial statements, are defined by CPB. Financial Statement Presentation - The financial statements of WAMC follow generally accepted accounting principles which establish standards for financial reporting by not-for-profit organizations and require that resources be classified for accounting and reporting purposes into certain net asset categories according to externally (donor) imposed restrictions. Accordingly, when applicable, WAMC records contributions received as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. Cash and Cash Equivalents - WAMC considers all highly liquid debt instruments (such as money market accounts) to be cash equivalents. WAMC places its cash with high quality credit institutions. Cash balances, however, are generally in excess of FDIC insurance limits. Receivables - Receivables, which are principally comprised of on-air acknowledgements of corporate underwriting, are periodically evaluated by management for collectibility. Management has elected to record bad debt expense using the direct write-off method. At such time as underwriting and other receivables are determined to be uncollectible, such amounts are written-off to bad debts. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the allowance method be used to reflect bad debt expense. However, the effect of the use of the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained had the allowance method been followed. Pledges receivable, as more fully disclosed under Note 2, principally arise from member fund drives. When applicable, multi-year pledges are stated at fair value, using the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at an appropriate rate. Other Current Assets - Other current assets are principally comprised of amounts paid to National Public Radio and other program producers (for programming to be provided subsequent to the end of the fiscal year) and certain prepaid insurance costs. Property and Equipment - As more fully disclosed under Note 3, property and equipment, including broadcast licenses acquired through the acquisition of property and equipment, is recorded at cost or, if donated, at fair value determined at date of acquisition. The carrying amounts of assets, and the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts at the time of asset disposition. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 40 years. Maintenance costs and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Investments - Investments in marketable securities are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets for the year. Page 5 WAMC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2010 and 2009 NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investments (Continued) - Interest, dividends and other investment income are included in the Statements of Activities as a component of other support and revenue. Accrued Compensation - The liability account \"accrued compensation\" includes salaries and related benefit costs earned by employees, but not yet paid, as of WAMC's year end. Barter Transactions - WAMC provides certain broadcast services (principally underwriting) in exchange for certain vendor equipment, merchandise and services. The estimated fair value of the vendor equipment, merchandise or services received and the corresponding obligation to provide broadcast services are both recorded in the financial statements. Deferred barter costs are expensed or capitalized as they are used, consumed or received. Deferred barter revenue, a component of deferred revenue in the Statements of Financial Position, is recognized as the related underwriting is aired. Revenue and Other Support - WAMC receives substantially all of its support and revenue from listeners, underwriters, through the production of programming, and under various federal and state grants. Member contributions, grants, production of programming and underwriting revenues are recorded as revenue in the period earned. Rental Property Activities - WAMC owns certain commercial rental property in Albany, New York. For financial statement reporting purposes, the Statements of Activities reflect rental property income (a component of other support and revenue) net of related rental expense. Rental property income approximated $106,100 and $106,600 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Rental property expenses, inclusive of depreciation expense, approximated $65,800 and $63,700 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Future minimum rental revenue to be received under short and long-term leases is expected to approximate $53,000 in 2011, $36,000 in 2012, $27,000 in 2013 and $3,600 in 2014. Income Taxes - WAMC is exempt from income taxes under Section 501-c (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective July 1, 2009, WAMC adopted certain new guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The income tax positions taken by WAMC for any years open under the various statutes of limitations are that WAMC continues to be exempt from income taxes and that WAMC earns revenues from certain activities which are considered unrelated business income under the Internal Revenue Code. In both 2010 and 2009, however, unrelated business income (net of applicable expenses) resulted in no tax expense. The adoption of this guidance did not impact WAMC's financial position or results of operations. WAMC believes that there are no other tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would significantly increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. None of WAMC's federal or state income tax returns is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state authorities. However fiscal years 2007 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and various state authorities. Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Page 6 WAMC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2010 and 2009 NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Subsequent Events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through September 7, 2010, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Reclassifications - Certain 2009 financial statement line items have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. NOTE 2: PLEDGES RECEIVABLE Pledges receivable principally include contributions and other commitments from various businesses, foundations, and individuals received in connection with WAMC's member fund drives. During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, WAMC completed three member fund drives in each year - one in October, one in February, and one in June. The timing of the June fund drives is such that $109,414 and $56,102 was recognized as pledges receivable at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with such pledges being collected in July of the following fiscal year. NOTE 3: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment is comprised of the following: June 30 2010 Land Buildings and improvements Studio and other broadcast equipment Furniture and office equipment Transportation equipment Less accumulated depreciation Net property and equipment $ 615,780 4,763,173 4,477,579 694,215 80,929 2009 $ 615,780 4,727,842 4,428,984 676,220 80,929 10,631,676 4,578,471 10,529,755 4,333,937 $ 6,053,205 $ 6,195,818 Depreciation expense was $363,389 and $397,180 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. NOTE 4: INVESTMENTS WAMC follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows: Page 7 WAMC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2010 and 2009 NOTE 4: INVESTMENTS (Continued) Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets. Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. The asset's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at June 30, 2010 and 2009. Common stocks, corporate bonds and U.S. government securities: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Mutual funds: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the plan at year end. All of WAMC's investments at both June 30, 2010 and 2009 were classified utilizing Level 1 inputs. The following table sets forth WAMC's investments: June 30, 2010 June 30, 2009 Fair Market Value Equity Securities Cost Basis Unrealized Gain (Loss) Fair Market Value $ Cost Basis $ 415,965 $ 496,412 $ (80,447) 555,643 $ (116,755) Debt Securities 206,751 209,074 (2,323) 243,744 264,195 (20,451) Mutual Funds 116,528 156,570 (40,042) 94,570 150,370 (55,800) $ 739,244 $ 862,056 $ (122,812) 970,208 $ (193,006) $ 438,888 777,202 $ Unrealized Gain (Loss) $ Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions, as presented in the Statements of Activities, are comprised of the following: Year Ended June 30 2010 2009 Realized losses $ Unrealized (gains) losses Net (gains) losses 3,097 $ 108,349 (70,194) $ 155,006 (67,097) $ 263,355 WAMC's equity and debt securities, mutual funds, and other investments are exposed to a variety of market uncertainties, including interest rate and credit risks. The level of risk is such that it is possible that changes in the values of WAMC's investments could occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the future amounts reported in the financial statements of WAMC.
