3 W. H. O CONNELL & ASSOCIATES PA Certified Public Accountants 2825 Lewis Speedway, Suite 104 St. Augustine, FL Phone (904) Fax henry@whocpa.com March 8, 2012 To the Board of Directors Turtle Shores Owners Association, Inc., Independent Accountant s Review Report We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Turtle Shores Owners Association, Inc. (the Association) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of revenues, expenses and changes in fund balance; and cash flows for the year then ended. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management s financial data and making inquiries of Association management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements. Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are not material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America mandate that information about future major repairs and replacements of common property is required to supplement, but not required to be a part of, the basic financial statements. The Association has not presented this supplementary information. W.H. O Connell & Associates, PA Certified Public Accountants 1

7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 TURTLE SHORES OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. NOTE 1 NATURE OF ORGANIZATION: Turtle Shores Owners Association, Inc. (the Association ) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on October 30, 1987 as a not-for-profit corporation for the purposes of administering the operations and management of Turtle Shores, a 298 unit homeowners association located in St. Johns County, Florida. Each homeowner is entitled to automatic membership in the Association. NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been issued in accordance with the Audit and Accounting Guide for Common Interest Realty Associations issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which recommends the use of the accrual basis of accounting. Fund Accounting The Association uses fund accounting, which requires that funds such as maintenance, operating and reserve replacement funds designated for future major repairs and replacements be classified separately for accounting and reporting purposes. Disbursements from the Operating Fund are generally at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are available for the general operations of the Association. The Reserve Fund has been designated by the Board of Directors to be used for capital expenditures and will be used as designated. Reserves The budget of the Association provides for limited voluntary deferred expenditures accounts, including capital expenditures and deferred maintenance, subject to limits on funding contained in the Association s governing documents. Because the owners have not elected to provide for reserve accounts pursuant to Section (6), Florida Statutes, these funds are not subject to the restrictions on use of such funds set forth in that statute, nor are reserves required to be calculated in accordance with that statute. Recognition of Assets and Depreciation Policy Ownership of the commonly owned assets is vested directly or indirectly in the members and those assets are not deemed to be severable. As a result, commonly owned assets, except for personal property purchased by the Association, are not capitalized in the financial statements. Replacements, major repairs and the purchase of additional commonly owned assets are accounted for as replacement fund expenditures. 5

8 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 TURTLE SHORES OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded): Member Assessments Monthly assessments to members included a regular assessment plus an amount for the Reserve Replacement Funds. The annual budget and assessments of owners are determined by the Board of Directors. The Association retains excess operating funds at the end of the year, if any, for use in future periods. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Association considers all checking and money market accounts and certificates of deposit as cash and cash equivalents. Estimates 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, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 ASSESSMENTS Monthly assessments were $109 during These assessments are used to pay the current year s operating expenses as well as fund a portion of future major repairs and replacements. Delinquent assessments are subject to a late fee and interest on unpaid balances. Those funds designated for future major repairs and replacements are transferred to separate interest-bearing bank accounts and are generally not available for operating purposes. Repair costs may vary from estimated amounts and the variations may be material. Amounts held in the replacement fund may not be adequate to meet future needs. If additional funds are needed, the Association has the right to increase regular assessments or levy special assessments, or it may delay major repairs and replacements until funds are available. 6

9 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 TURTLE SHORES OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. NOTE 4 FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES: Homeowners associations may elect to be taxed as regular corporations or as condominium associations. The Association elected to be taxed as a condominium association for the year ended December 31, Under that election, the Association is taxed on all net income from non-membership activities, principally interest income, which is reduced by any directly allocable expenses such as management, bank and tax preparation fees. For the year Ended December 31, 2011 the Association incurred a taxable loss of $339, and consequently not income taxes were owed. 7
