There were no misstatements noted <br />during the audit <br />Disagreements with Management <br />For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, <br />reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements <br />or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. <br />Management Representations <br />We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated <br />May 12, 2009. <br />Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants <br />In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to <br />obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the <br />Association's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those <br />statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has <br />all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. <br />Other Audit Findings or Issues <br />We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with <br />management each year prior to retention as the Association's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal <br />course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. <br />952.835.9090 Fax 952.835.3261 <br />www.aemcpas.com <br />
