President Kathy Baldwin called the meeting to order at 6:15 p.m.

athy thanked inda for her attendance, and her work to completing the audit report in a timelymanner. inda reported that the tax return was e-filed and approved earlier in the day, (March 6, 2011).

Treasurer Tom Byrne began the meeting by reviewing the audit report that was provided by wens trussione, .C.

AUDIT REPORT

x BAANC T (Assets)

Tom noted that unit 0 has been written off and finally removed from the books.

arl asked if there was anything that could be adjusted in the accounts receivable figures, assuming thatwere not going to receive all the receivables due. inda explained that the receivables is a current listof everybody that owes, and theyre not taken off until theyre legally deemed uncollectable either dueto bankruptcy or the board decides not to pursue collection. he offered that a reserve could be set upfor receivables, but it doesnt affect the tax return anyway.

Michelle asked about the accounts receivable balance of $498. oe answered saying that it was the

insurance balance for the flood damage on unit 129.

x TATMNT NCM

Tom remarked that he would return to this page at the end of the report.

inda noted the line Net gain (loss) on the sale of association owned unit shows a $0,369 loss on thesale of unit 0. >6DOHSULFHRIWKHXQLWZDV7KHFRVWEDVLVZDV@ he explained that this iscapital loss and cannot be written off unless there are capital gains. 7KDWORVVVLWVWKHUHIRUILYH\HDUVDQGLILWVQRWXVHGXSLH \RXGRQWVHOO DQRWKHUXQLWZLWK DJDLQWKHQ\RXUHJRLQJWR ORVHWKH.ZULWHRII7KDWVFRUSRUDWHODZ obert asked if other assets could be sold with a gain to offset the loss. inda saidthat if we sold one of our investments and they had capital gains, it could offset it as well. hereiterated that this would need to be done within the next years. Tom answered that this could be

easily done as we fund the upcoming roofing project. Tom asked inda how it would work if we were to sell a current investment, and then purchase a new

investment. inda answered, if we sell a current investment that has a gain, then that will offset. Thena new purchase would starts as a new investment.

age :

inda pointed out that Note B ate of Management eview is a new required note this year.

age 6:

inda pointed out that Income Taxes ection will have to be its own footnote next year.

he added that the Estimates note is newer, but it was on our report last year as well. age 8:

inda pointed out that all of Note : Fair Value Measurements is a new requirement this year. heexplained that all financial statements in the nited tates have to conform to a universalworldwide financial; n the nited tates, we always put our investments on the books at themarket. n other words, if we bought something for $100 C and today it was worth $10, werecord at $10. ther countries do not. o theres really no change to what youre doing, its justthat the footnote is required across the board for everybody. he added that we must also notewhat type of investment it is, (i.e. easy access, or money thats tied up that we cant get to fast).Much of what is on this page is redundant, but the footnote is required.

age 9:

Uninsured Cash Balances: inda explained that the C had increased the coverage from $100 to$20, but we still have money in investment accounts at Bank of America in excess of the $20.

oe answered that this money has been moved/invested since the date of the report. inda stressedthat this should be done before the end of the year when the report card comes out.

Loan Payable: Tom noted that the final payment was made on this loan at the beginning of 2011.

x TATMNT CT ATN N

Tom stated that hed reviewed these balances and compared them to the eptember statement. Therewere some exceptions, but none that we didnt know about. e explained that there were four majorbills that were not included in the eptember statement, but are included in this audit report, (aveyTree, inelli Cement, oof 9000), plus a credit from the Northville water bill for $12.

oe explained that when he is asked about how were doing (based on our monthly financialstatements), hes looking at the bottom line net gain/loss for a specific month compared to the Tperformance. ometimes theres a wide variance between what is in the audit and what he sees in themonthly statement because hes not taking into consideration variables such as depreciation, unit 0loss, etc.

Tom stated that, unless there was a specific question, he would review the perating xpenses as it isthe same as what had already been reviewed in previous meetings with the noted exceptions.

x TATMNT NCM (revisited)

Tom went back to page 3 and compared it to the last page of the perating xpenses report on page 13.The total for irect perating xpenses at the bottom of page 13 is carried over to page 3. e notedthat there is a $30 deficiency that is on the books largely due to the $0 loss on unit 0.

Tom added (as a point of clarification), that last year we had a surplus on the operating side, and theboard entertained a motion to carry the surplus to the long term. This year there is no surplus fromoperating expenses to move, so it is a non-issue. alph asked what the surplus amount was last year;inda answered that it was approx. $109.

D D W 3

x TATMNT N (ong Term)

Tom explained that this statement is the legally required long term note that inda has to have withregard to the fact that we do have a long term plan, and how we intend to fund it. e approved a longterm plan at the end of the fiscal year, so that we would have that and be able to give that to inda soshe would have it for the audit.

inda pointed out that the last line in the report states that the report is updated annually.

athy asked inda, know that we had money in the operating account to transfer to long term lastyear, and we dont this year. ow do you think our year looks this year, particularly as it relates to ourinvestments? inda answered, think youre still okay. n 2009, your operating fund brought in a netprofit was $109, which is good if youre a business to make money. But youre a non-profit. Thisyear, your net operating is a loss of $30, but as Tom said, if you add back the $0 from the sale ofunit 0, you actually have a net profit of $20 so youre still . our replacement fund increased$30, so thats good, (last year it increased $203 as a net after increases and decreases). o when youlook at it, the fund balance that would have been eptember 30, 200 was $24, and then in 2009 itwent up to $2, and now its $1.1M. o just looking at the three year history, you can see youveincreased that reserve quite a bit and maintained a typical net profit. o thats very good. eferring toour current investments, she said (as of eptember 2010) the market is higher than what we paid by$44. o its looking good.

obert asked if the historic costs listed include the front loaded fees. inda said that they do.

Tom explained that at some point, we are going to sell the bonds because well need to (to fund theroofing), and we are anticipating a gain when we sell, and it wont be taxable because it will offset the$0 loss on unit 0.

Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Michelle Todorov to accept theAudit Report for 2010 as presented.

o All in favor. Motion passed.

ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION

x roperty Assessments

alph stated that the assessment on his condo has gone down. e asked if that was an opportunity forour property/liability insurance to go down. athleen explained that our insurance is based on ourreplacement value, not market value.

x repaid Michigan Business Tax

arl asked about the prepaid Michigan business tax. inda said that she still needs to do the 2008-2009return, so shes not sure how much of that we would get back. The new Michigan governor isexpecting a new corporate straight tax by une, so if the new tax replaces the MBT, well still have to file(because our receipts are over $30), but (using this years numbers), because there was a loss, wewouldnt be paying the corporate tax; however some years if there is a positive income balance, we

would have to pay the corporate tax. Tom asked if it was probably that the $000 MBT would comeback to us. inda said no, we would probably end up owing. Tom explained that well probably owemore than the $000 prepaid, and that will be an additional expense this year (we wont know for sureuntil the income tax returns are done).

1. The condition of ilver pring rive continues to deteriorate. ur residents have done everything from

signing petitions to sending e-mails to the local T stations. The result is always the same; we get asphaltpatching trucks a few days later and the material is washed away during a following rainfall. have even

had some residents request ighland akes to do some of the repairs something that we really cannot dowith co-owner money unless it is for patchwork to areas right around the clubhouse entrance or our otherinterior roads. am placing work orders for the road at the county website and know that residents arestill calling the county but the asphalt patching seems to be it. eel free to continue hounding the countyauthorities to get going with this long awaited repair work.

electrical work required to install the new lighting systems. am sure everyone can appreciate the costof hiring an electrician to do the work. The maintenance team has also been working nonstop to put theroom back online for party rentals. e are hoping that the result will be a modernized conference room

and resident activity center where people can enjoy the use of a large wall-mounted screen for displayingcomputer information holding seminars or entertaining residents for a resident movie night.

snow leading to a line of parked cars on ehigh ane tappeared that an individual was approaching each vehicle to see if

he could gain entrance he followed the footsteps as they led into ehigh Court

Again the footsteps approached each car he did the right thing by contacting the police and

out for anyone on our streets and in the lots who may be engaged in suspicious activity, andreport it to the authorities
