Balance Test


Total Assets: 50,441





Liabilities


Expenses: 56,380

Use of Some Retained Earnings: (7,439) <- Actual 2002 assets are estimated to exceed actual 2002 expenses
8805-Money Moved to Replacement Reserve: 1,500 by $8,000 so we will use the 2002 "profit" to offset 2003 expenses and
Total Liabilities: 50,441 keep assessments the same for 2003. Part of this is due to projects that


were scheduled to be completed in 2002 but will not be completed until 2003.
Note that there are additional reserves remaining even after applying the 2002 profit to offset 2003 expenses. The Board is planning on conducting


a study to assess the appropriate level of the reserve that should be maintained going forward. The study will occur in 2003 or 2004.
