Approved submissions were based on data approved in HUD’s FASS system as of October 31, 2011

9. End of Year Financial Statements Most everyone is familiar with seeing the end of year Statement of Net Assets (Balance Sheet) and the Revenue and Expense financial statements. However, there is one other financial statement which can be produced by your accountant called Change in Unrestricted Net Assets. The Change in Unrestricted Net Assets is a reconciliation using the information from the Statement of Net Assets and the Revenue and Expense financial statements which reflects what effect operations had on your Unrestricted Net Assets.

10. Change in Unrestricted Net Assets DescriptionAmount Unrestricted Net Assets 12/31/2010 300,000 Results of Operations (from Rev/Exp. St.) ( 50,000) Adjustments: Depreciation (1) 25,000 Capital Grants (2) (60,000) Other Capital Expenditures (3) (20,000) Unrestricted Net Assets 12/31/2011 195,000

11. Notes to Change in Unrestricted Net Assets (1) Depreciation is treated as an expense and reduces the Results of Operations but does not have an impact on Unrestricted Net Assets. (2) Funding provided for Capital Grants, pursuant to GASB 33, is presented as Revenue, however the revenue is absorbed by the associated capital expenditures and therefore, does not increase Unrestricted Net Assets. (3) Other Capital Expenditures represent an outflow of Unrestricted Net Assets that is not reflected in the Results of Operations.

12. Financial Matters to Remember Be consistent in drawing down your Operating Fund monies (do not skip months) Large PHAs with a COCC should monthly charge AMPs and other programs (Section 8) the applicable management fee, asset management fee and bookkeeping fee. Any purchase of a Capitalized Asset (vehicles, equipment, etc.) will reduce your Unrestricted Net Assets (Operating Reserves)

13. PHAS Financial Matters to Remember Tenant Accounts Receivable Make certain you write off any uncollectible debts prior to the end of the year. Accounts Payable If you incur any large bills (more than the norm) during the last month of the fiscal year, make certain you pay these prior to the end of the fiscal year.
