To the Board of Directors
Mt. Ashland Association
dba Mt. Ashland
POBox 220
Ashland, OR 97520
I have reviewed the financial statements of the Mt. Ashland Association, dba Mt. Ashland (a
non-profit organization) for the year ended June 30, 2009 and have issued my report thereon
dated August 5, 2009.
My Responsibility under Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
As stated in my engagement letter dated May 27,2009, a review consists principally of inquiries
of management and analytical procedures applied to financial data, A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the basic financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, I did not express such an opinion.
A review of financial statements in accordance with the Statements on Standards for Accounting
and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants does not
contemplate a review of the internal control.
Although I noted no material weaknesses which would warrant disclosure in the reviewed
financial report, I do believe improvements can be made to the existing system to increase
efficiency by modifying current accoun1ing policies and procedures. Discussions of these
recommendations for improvements are contained in the following paragraphs,
Fraud Risk Assessment
The opportunity to commit and conceal fraud exists where there are assets susceptible to
misappropriation and inadequate controls to prevent or detect the fraud. I recommend that the
Organization perform a risk assessment to identify, analyze, and manage the risk of asset
misappropriation, The Organization's internal control should include performance of this
assessment.
Fraud risk assessment can be informal and performed by a management.level individual who
has extensive knowledge of the Organization, Ordinarily, the management-level individual would
conduct interviews or lead group discussion with personnel who have extensive knowledge of
the Organization, its environment, and its processes, The fraud risk assessment process should
consider the Organization's vulnerability to misappropriation of assets.

Statement of Functional Expenses
I recommend that a time study be performed to determine the correct allocation of various
expenses between the functional categories of management and general, fund raising, and
program services. Only employees whose time is spent among more than one category need to
participate in the study, The Executive Director and other employees whose time is spent in a
wide variety of activities, should prepare a time sheet for one week out of each quarter of the
year and detail where their time is spent. This data would then be used to allocate expenses as
recommended.
Review Assistance
I appreciate the assistance Shannon Spurlin provided during the 2008-09 review, Her
assistance aided in the performance of the review and preparation of the report,

at your convenience, I am also available to assist you in the implementation of any of my

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION
The Association provides and continues to develop new ways to contribute to our youth and many
educational programs and related benefits to the communities of Southern Oregon and Northern
California. The Association expects to continue the following programs and expand on the
educational awareness programs of after school youth ski and snowbDard, skilsnowboard school,
kids club, mountain geology/snow science and environmental/youth summer service. The
approximate costs of providing these programs were $307,806 and $242,414 for the years ended
June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
This summary of significant accounting policies of Mt. Ashland Association is presented to assist in
understanding the Association's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are
representations of the Association's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity,
These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
unless otherwise stated, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Association has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 116,
"Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made", and (SFAS) No, 117, "Financial
Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations." SFAS No. 117 establishes standards for external
financial reporting by not-for-profit organizations, and requires the Association to report information
regarding its financial position and activities into three classes of net assets according to externally
(donor) imposed restrictions. SFAS No. 116 requires that unconditional promises to give (pledges)
be recorded as receivables and revenues, and requires the organization to distinguish between
contributions for each net asset category in accordance with donor imposed restrictions.
Descriptions of the three net asset categories, as presented on the Statement of Activities, are as
follows:
1) Unrestricted net assets have no donor imposed restrictions.
2) Temporarily restricted net assets have donor-imposed restrictions that will expire
in the future.
3) Permanently restricted net assets have donor-imposed restrictions, which do not
expire.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Unrestricted net assets consist of the general operating fund of the Association and are available for
use at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
INCOME TAXES
The Association is a Not-For-Profit Organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under
Section 501 (c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Association has also been classified as
an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a), and qualifies for
deductible contributions as provided in Section 170 (b)(1)(A)(iii). There was no unrelated business
income for the years ended June 30, 2009, and 2008.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The Association capitalizes all expenditures for buildings and equipment if they are considered to
benefit future periods. Purchased buildings and equipment are carried at cost and are considered to
be owned by the Association. Donated buildings and equipment are carried at the approximate fair
value at the date of donation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Association considers all unrestricted highly liquid
investments, with an initial maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. The carrying
value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
INVESTMENTS
The Association has invested funds with Umpqua Investments, Inc. The funds are managed by
Steven Nelson, the assigned financial advisor by Umpqua Investments, Inc. The portfolio assets
consist of a bank deposit sweep account. The monies are held in an interest-bearing deposit
account at one or more banks, The investment income includes interest income resulting from the
investment fund. The cost and the income generated as a result of the investment are reported in
the Statement of Activities.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts Receivables are stated at the amount management expect to collect from outstanding
balances at year end. Receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible.

expensed in the current period. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-
line basis over the assets estimated useful life as follows: equipment - 5 to 15 years; buildings - 25
years; leasehold improvements - 5 to 30 years.

OPERATING LEASES
The Association leases space for its business office, which expires on September 1, 2009, with
options to renew for three one-year extensions, for $1,500 per month. For the year ended June 30,
2009, the lease commitment is $18,000 for the Association's business office. The Association also
leases certain ski area assets that were purchased from donated funds to the City of Ashland. This
lease term expires on June 30, 2017. Future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2009, are $1
per year through 2017, for a total lease commitment of $8. A mobile unit is leased by the Association
for the amount of $171.25 per month. This lease expires on April 3, 2010. For the year ended June
30, 2009, the lease commitment is $2,055 for the Associations mobile unit
The City of Ashland received donations from the gene~al public to purchase certain ski area assets
on Mt Ashland which are located on land leased from the U.S. Department of Agriculture/U.S. Forest
Service. These ski area assets are leased by the City to the Association for $1 per year. Upon the
lease expiration date, June 30, 2017, the Association has the option to extend the lease term for an
additional 25 years ending June 30, 2042. This lease requires the Association to maintain the leased
ski area assets at an agreed "Minimum Liquidation Value," which was stated at $200,000 in 1992.
The "Minimum Liquidation Value" is subject to an escalation provision tied to the Consumer Price
Index (CPI). If the Association fails to maintain the leased ski area assets at the "Minimum
Liquidation Value" the Association is required to pay the deficiency into a trust fund maintained by the
City of Ashland. As of June 30, 2009, no funds have been required to be transferred into this trust
fund.
In 1994, the Association recorded the lease as a contribution, stated at the ski area assets fair value,
for the 25-year term of the lease. This fair value was estimated at $2,833,300 and capitalized. The
lease is amortized as Facility Lease Expense over the assets economic life to reflect the relative
value of the lease. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2009, and 2008 were
$75,555 and $75,555 respectively. The following summarizes the remaining asset value related to
the contributed facility lease:

$ 605,625
(2,152,120)
$ 681,180
Net contributed lease value
The Association also records the approximate yearly value of the lease as temporarily restricted
revenue and facility lease expense, The estimated yearly value of facility lease expenses for 2009
and 2008 was $178,920 and $178,920, respectively.
The Association assumed the underlying obligation of the City of Ashland's special use permit with
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, for the use of the ski area land for the
construction, operation and maintenance of a winter sports area. This use permit provides for
termination upon breach of any permit condition, or termination at the discretion of the Regional
Forester of the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service. The permit expires July 4,2017, with an annual fee
based upon a weighted formula applied to various revenue classifications. The adjusted fees for the
years ended June 30, 2009, and 2008 were $25,699 and $33,185, respectively.

TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
As described in Note 1, the Association reports financial information regarding its financial position

These classes consist of unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently
restricted net assets. Temporarily restricted net assets have donor-imposed restrictions that will
expire in the future. Upon expiration of the donor-imposed restrictions, funds are released from
restriction and expensed categorically to align with their functional category. The activity of these
funds is represented on the Statement of Activities. Temporarily restricted net assets consisted of

MT. ASHLAND ASSOCIATION
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Years Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
10.
CONTINGENCIES
Mt. Ashland Association is currently involved in one legal dispute centered on its proposed Area
Improvement Project. This is as an intervening party with the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USFS) over the legality of their Record of Decision issued in September of 2004 on the project.
The case was heard and ruled on by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in September of 2007.
They identified three points they felt needed additional review and remanded the case on those
three entities back to the Oregon District court. The USFS has started the process of issuing a
Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on the three issues. The Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement should be forthcoming by late October, 2009. If all of this is
approved, which the Association feels strongly it will be, construction on the Improvement Project
could begin by early November, 2009.
Mt. Ashland Association believes there is a very remote chance of loss in the above dispute. Total
expenditures to date that might be affected by these cases are estimated at $1,450,000. These
funds have already been expended by Mt. Ashland Association for research, studies, planning and
legal costs associated with the Improvement Project.
Mt. Ashland Association is not named, or has not been put on notice, of any other legal disputes,
claims or actions.
11.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Mt. Ashland Association Board of Directors voted and passed unanimously on June 22, 2009 to
change the Association's 401 K program from a guarantee match to a discretionary match to be
determined at the end of the plan year.
Mt. Ashland has evaluated subsequent events through September 9, 2009. September 9, 2009, is
the date Management last reviewed the financial statements. The report was available to be issued
one day after Management's final review on September 10, 2009.
