Why Consolidate ?
Industry Expectations –• Investors, Lenders, Grantors & Other external
stakeholders
• To avoid an “except for” opinion in your audited financials – a red flag for some of the stakeholders listed above
• To control the company message that you want to convey
![Page 12: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:00-4:00 PM ET Presenters: Gayle Harrold, CFO, Madison Park Development Corp Dave Conway, Partner, Novogradac & Company LLP.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca65503460f9496829b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PreparationCarefully review all entities that your company is involved
with. After your review, you should be able to document: Which entities are wholly owned Which entities are controlled, in accordance with the
definition provided in EITF 04-05 or CFO Working Group white papers (#3B) Look to your partnership/operating agreement. – Next webinar will address accounting for controlled but not wholly owned investments
Which entities you are involved with but do not control, regardless of % of ownership interest – equity method of accounting
![Page 13: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:00-4:00 PM ET Presenters: Gayle Harrold, CFO, Madison Park Development Corp Dave Conway, Partner, Novogradac & Company LLP.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca65503460f9496829b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PreparationObtain financial statements of each controlled entity that now requires consolidation, from inception, if possible.
Historical financials should contain information about your equity interest in the deal – Does your investment balance equal your partner’s capital account in the deal?
If not, you will need to account for the difference in consolidation.
Historical footnotes should disclose development fees paid to you that were capitalized into the cost of the projects building costs.
Prior year financials should have most info about asset/liability & revenue/expense items to be eliminated.

PreparationWhy do you need this information?
To ensure that:
• intercompany assets/liabilities are eliminated
• Intercompany revenue/expense items are eliminated
• investment accounts and equity are eliminated
• project development fees paid by a subsidiary to the parent sponsor are eliminated.

Elimination of Development Fees
![Page 21: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:00-4:00 PM ET Presenters: Gayle Harrold, CFO, Madison Park Development Corp Dave Conway, Partner, Novogradac & Company LLP.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca65503460f9496829b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Elimination of Development Fees
Can you consider the margin on development fees received?
If you have a history of tracking your overhead costs and have a means of determining what your profit on development fees are then you can consider eliminating only the profit, not the entire development fee.
If you can consider the margin, then only the profit is eliminated, not the cost of development fees (actual overhead incurred by the sponsor).

Implementation Issues
1. Overall presentation
Will you present consolidated financials ( a single column with everything, including eliminating entries all combined) or consolidating statements that reflect your major lines of business?
If consolidating statements, how will you group your lines of business, including the consolidated properties?
Will you restate the prior year to present comparative financials or will you engage your stakeholders to accept a single year presentation?
![Page 25: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:00-4:00 PM ET Presenters: Gayle Harrold, CFO, Madison Park Development Corp Dave Conway, Partner, Novogradac & Company LLP.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca65503460f9496829b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Implementation Issues2. Classification
Property financials classify items differently than a non-profit
Restricted cash sits between current & long term assets – operating reserves should be a current restricted asset and replacement reserves a long term restricted asset
Payroll often imbedded in property financial line items, like maintenance. This will need to be reclassified to a payroll line item in your consolidated non-profit financials
![Page 26: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:00-4:00 PM ET Presenters: Gayle Harrold, CFO, Madison Park Development Corp Dave Conway, Partner, Novogradac & Company LLP.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca65503460f9496829b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Implementation Issues
3. Eliminations that do not balance
Investment account does not equal equity
Notes receivable on sponsor’s books fully reserved
Incentive fees recorded on a cash basis by sponsor but on an accrual basis by the residential partnership
See advanced consolidations webinar
![Page 27: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:00-4:00 PM ET Presenters: Gayle Harrold, CFO, Madison Park Development Corp Dave Conway, Partner, Novogradac & Company LLP.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ca65503460f9496829b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusion Consolidated/Consolidating Financials require a fair amount
of upfront planning to obtain information and then determine what format your financials will take
If you are going to consolidate for the first time, consider going through a dry run using last year’s information to identify any stumbling blocks early
You will need to engage thoughtfully with senior management, your auditors, and potentially certain external stakeholders to produce meaningful, transparent financial reporting
