4. Delinquent Accounts – Facts December ending AR - $87,013.98 19 units accounting for 57.91% ($50,391.78) of total outstanding A/R are over 4 months old. (virtually hopeless unless a sale to 3 rd party)** Look for this to change as we write certain accounts off to bad debt. This will give us a more “true” picture of finances. 21.87% of total outstanding A/R are 30 days or less. ($19,032.52) 20% fall somewhere in between. Payment plans? ** Association possession of Units is final recourse. This is being aggressively targeted (1 in possession, another March 1 st )

Fraud? Ignorance? Oversight?

8. 2008 Lessons Learned What should be learned from 2008? – PSI Termination in March: Resulted in almost 2 months of no financial accounting, missed responsibilities. – Vanguard period of decision making and actions for the property cost thousands in excessive costs. Maintenance was provided by Vanguard for some period of time. Actual Vanguard cost was $3653.00 based on an average of cost of $845.00 for monthly statements. – Lack of proper oversight and involvement by the Board cost the Association at least $8,000. About $16.91 per unit. Cost is now down to $6.50 per unit. (One time charge for booklets, unknown at this time. – Facing the most critical time for our Association, the lack of attention and involvement was stunning.

9. 2008 Lessons Applied in 2009 How have those lessons been applied? – Vanguard Termination in January: Immediate transition to PSI. Cost savings of at least 50% for management. Accounting remained in professional care. – Complete oversight by Board for all property operations. Made necessary by financial circumstances resultant from 2008. Effort, time and level of personal involvement is extraordinary, high and hopefully temporary. Board makes the call on all decisions requiring recourse allocation (Staff or 3 rd party) – Majority of Board has demonstrated the devotion and energy required. Some have not.
