    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT General Staff American Airpower Heritage Group Midland, Texas We have audited the accompanying consolidating statements of financial position of the Commemorative Air Force Headquarters, Commemorative Air Force Units and Supporting Foundations, the American Airpower Heritage Foundation, Inc., the American Airpower Heritage Museum, Inc., the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum, Inc. and consolidated totals which collectively comprise the American Airpower Heritage Group (the Group), as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidating statement of activities and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative consolidated information has been derived from the Groups 2010 consolidating financial statements, and in our report dated August 16, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidating financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidating financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidating financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidating financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Commemorative Air Force Headquarters, Commemorative Air Force Units and Supporting Foundations, the American Airpower Heritage Foundation, Inc., the American Airpower Heritage Museum, Inc. , the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum, Inc. and consolidated totals as of December 31, 2011, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Organization

    The American Airpower Heritage Group (the Group) was created by resolution approved by the general membership of the Confederate Air Force, Inc. (CAF) effective November 20, 1990. The resolution approved the reorganization of the corporate structure of the Commemorative Air Force, Inc. and the American Airpower Heritage Foundation, Inc. (AAHF) a separate entity, and included the formation of the American Airpower Heritage Museum, Inc. (AAHM) and the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum, Inc. (AAHFM). Effective January 1, 2002, the organization adopted Commemorative Air Force as its new name. The organization and purpose of each of the four entities which comprise the group is set out as follows:

    The Commemorative Air Force, Inc. (CAF) Headquarters

    The financial statements presented include the Headquarters (HQ) division of the CAF and include the assets, liabilities and fund balances, and support, revenue, and expenses of the combined units. The Commemorative Air Force, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation established in 1961 for charitable and educational purposes. The primary objective of the organization was to acquire, restore, maintain and operate a collection of World War II and other historical aircraft. With the reorganization discussed above, the structure of the CAF remains essentially unchanged. It has primary responsibility for membership, maintenance of aircraft, educational programs and air show demonstrations. In addition, the CAF provides administrative and management assistance to the other members in the Group.

    The Commemorative Air Force, Inc. (CAF) Units, Affiliate and Supporting Foundations

    The CAF is comprised of 72 chartered Wings, Squadrons and Detachments throughout the nation, which is under the direction of the Headquarters Company (HQ). The majority of the aircraft operations is performed through these Wings and Squadrons and includes aircraft restoration and maintenance, aircraft display, air shows and PX operations. Ownership and operational control of all non-flying (static) museum artifacts and the PX facilities are in the AAHM. In addition, as further discussed below, ownership of life membership funds and aircraft sponsorship funds are in the AAHF and ownership of all or substantially all of the aircraft are in the AAHFM. The CAF has agreed by formal contract to maintain aircraft belonging to the AAHFM and fully control operation of those aircraft in accordance with the rules and regulations of the CAF. The CAF continues to conduct educational programs and air show demonstrations and provide training for aircraft operators.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    The Commemorative Air Force, Inc. (CAF) Units, Affiliate and Supporting Foundations Continued

    In February 2007, the General Staff voted to allow up to five units outside of Texas to establish 501(c)(3) corporations in their respective states. The purpose of the new entities would be to act as philanthropic organizations to raise funds for the restoration, maintenance and operations of CAF operated aircraft.

    The General Staff specified the following conditions for formation of the corporations: Each unit must submit to CAFs Finance Committee their request to establish a separate 501 (c)(3) corporation; the CAF attorney must draw up the by-laws for each corporation; and the request must be reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee; and all control of the corporations must remain with the CAF. As of June 2009, five (5) entities have incorporated and are located in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico and Minnesota. No financial activity had occurred as of 2011 year-end for Florida, Georgia and New Mexico. Arizona and Minnesota did have donations and expenses but the balances at 2011 year-end are immaterial to the financial statements. For reporting purposes, they will continue to be included in the Units totals until such time as they are materially significant to the financial statements. In 2010, Wings of Houston, Inc. was formed as an affiliate of the CAF. The purpose of this organization is to act as a philanthropic organization, to raise funds for restoration, maintenance and operation of CAF operated aircraft assigned to its states wings and squadrons.

    American Airpower Heritage Foundation, Inc. (AAHF)

    The American Airpower Heritage Foundation, Inc. (AAHF) is a nonprofit corporation, without voting members, established in 1983 to assist in the preservation of World War II and other historical aircraft and teaching the traditions, heritages and accomplishments of the military air services of the United States. The primary objective of the AAHF was to establish and manage an endowment fund for the benefit of the CAF. It was charged with the responsibility of investing life membership funds and endowment funds, which had been created from donations and gifts. The by-laws of the AAHF provide that the AAHF will be directed by a board of directors of which CAF general staff members will be a majority. In addition, ownership of life membership funds and aircraft funds are in the AAHF. The AAHF manages and retains sponsorship funds. The purpose of the AAHF as stated in its by-laws are set out as follows:

    a. To assist the Commemorative Air Force, Inc. (CAF), the American Airpower Heritage

    Flying Museum, Inc. (AAHFM) and the American Airpower Heritage Museum, Inc. (AAHM) in the preservation, operation, and exhibition of World War II and other historical aircraft and related paraphernalia.

    philanthropies to the CAF, the flying museum and the static museum, and to establish and administer an endowment fund for the perpetuation of the aircraft, facilities and objectives of the CAF, the flying museum and the static museum.

    American Airpower Heritage Museum, Inc. (AAHM)

    The American Airpower Heritage Museum, Inc. (AAHM) has been established to house the non-flying (static) museum artifacts and the PX facilities. It was incorporated in 1989 as a nonprofit corporation without members. The AAHM is directed by a board of directors the majority of which are CAF general staff members. All museum assets belong to the AAHM. All static museum operations are conducted by and through the AAHM and ownership of all properties necessary for conducting the museum's operations rests with the AAHM.

    American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum, Inc. (AAHFM)

    The American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum, Inc. (AAHFM) was incorporated in 1989 as a nonprofit, nonmember organization. The AAHFM owns all or substantially all of the Group's aircraft. The aircrafts values, which are undeterminable, are not recorded on these financial statements. As mentioned above, by formal agreement, the CAF maintains aircraft belonging to the AAHFM and fully controls operation of those aircraft in accordance with CAF rules and regulations. The CAF also displays the aircraft owned by the AAHFM. The AAHFM does not conduct educational programs or air show demonstrations, nor does it have responsibility for the maintenance of aircraft or the training of aircraft operations. A majority of the board of directors of the AAHFM are general staff members of the CAF.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    Financial Statement Presentation For presentation of financial statements, net assets and revenue, gains, expenses, and losses are classified as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted based upon the following criteria:

    Unrestricted net assets represent expendable funds available for operations which are

    not otherwise limited by donor restrictions. While these net assets do not have donor restrictions, they may be Board restricted for stated purposes and are classified as unrestricted designated.

    Temporarily restricted net assets consist of contributed funds subject to specific donor-

    imposed restrictions contingent upon specific performance of a future event or a specific passage of time before the Group may spend the funds.

    Permanently restricted net assets are subject to irrevocable donor restrictions requiring

    that the assets be maintained in perpetuity usually for the purpose of generating investment income to fund current operations. Permanently restricted endowment trust assets are those assets from which the corpus may never be withdrawn.

    Comparative Summarized Consolidating Totals

    The financial statements and supplemental information include certain prior-year summarized comparative consolidated information. Information in notes to the consolidating financial statement is not comparative. Such comparative consolidated information does not include sufficient information to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these consolidating financial statements and supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Groups financial statements and supplemental information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    Basis of Accounting and Principles

    The financial statements of the Group have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared on a consolidating basis since all members of the Group are commonly controlled. The consolidating financial statements include the accounts of the Group reported by entity and in aggregate. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Members of the Group separately file their information reports with the Internal Revenue Service because the Internal Revenue Code does not provide for combined reports. All financial transactions have been summarized for accounting reporting purposes into funds established according to their nature and purpose as follows:

    a. General Funds

    General funds represent the portion of unrestricted expendable funds that are available for the general operations and support of the Group.

    b. Aircraft Funds

    Aircraft funds represent the unexpended contributions from aircraft sponsors, which are to be used for acquisition, restoration and maintenance of specific aircraft. Effective with the reorganization, the AAHF holds in a separate account each sponsorship fund established by a sponsor for the restoration and preservation of a designated aircraft owned by the AAHFM. The AAHF shall distribute so much of the income and principal of the particular sponsorship fund as may be required by the AAHFM or the CAF for purposes of restoring, maintaining and operating the designated aircraft. In the event a sponsor's aircraft shall be permanently retired and no longer in need of support, the sponsor shall be given an opportunity to designate another aircraft to sponsor, and upon failure to do so, such remaining funds shall be added to the general fund and administered in accordance with provisions in the by-laws.

    c. Life Member Funds

    Life member funds represent funds restricted in 1982 by the general staff requiring in perpetuity that the principal remain invested and only the investment income be available for the general operations and support of the CAF. Initially, life member funds were included and utilized by the CAF general fund until the membership was paid in full. At that time, the total amount paid for the life membership was transferred from the CAF general fund to the life member fund. The AAHF holds in a separate account the life member funds generated by the CAF, and such other funds as the CAF or the museums from time to time may transfer to the AAHF.

    These funds are held separately from the general endowment funds.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    Basis of Accounting and Principles Continued

    c. Life Member Funds Continued The principal of the life member funds remains intact with no expenditures other than for investment purposes or as required below. Upon the written request of the general staff, with the approval of the board of directors of the AAHF, which approval cannot be unreasonably withheld, the AAHF shall distribute to the CAF or the museums an amount of the principal of the life member funds as may be required for use in their charitable, educational or scientific activities within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The AAHF shall not approve any distribution of funds for purposes that do not meet such criteria. Net income earned from life member funds may be distributed to the CAF. The general staff may designate part or all of the distribution be made to the museum. Additional distributions may be made on request of the general staff. Any undistributed income at the end of the fiscal year is added to the principal. The General Staff requested a 5% market value distribution of income from the life member fund in 2011.

    d. Temporarily Restricted Quasi Endowment Funds

    The AAHF shall deposit all of its funds, except those funds necessary for its own administrative purposes, into a quasi-endowment fund for the support and benefit of the CAF, the AAHFM and the AAHM. Said funds shall be invested, held, and administered under the standards that apply to trusts and their trustees under the Texas Trust Act. A portion of the annual net income of the general endowment fund as the general staff of the CAF shall request, will be distributed to the CAF for its support and maintenance at the end of each fiscal year or at such other times as the general staff of the CAF shall reasonably request. In addition, with the approval of the general staff of the CAF, a portion of the net income may be distributed as necessary for the support and maintenance of the AAHFM and the AAHM. The CAF General Staff and the AAHM Board requested a 5% distribution of income from their respective endowment funds in 2011.

    e. Permanently Restricted Endowment Funds

    The CAF Missouri Wing/USO Endowment was established to provide the Missouri Wing with funds that would allow the unit to bring their assigned aircraft to pristine condition.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    Basis of Accounting and Principles Continued

    e. Permanently Restricted Endowment Funds Continued The agreement and restrictions on the endowment are that they are pooled and invested in the same manner as other AAHF managed endowments and the endowment stays with CAF/AAHF until the Missouri Wing ceases to exist. Should the Missouri wing cease to exist at some point in the future, the endowment corpus would then go to benefit the USO at Lambert Field, St. Louis, Missouri. The USO at Lambert Field receives no benefit nor has any rights to any annual distributions as long as the Missouri Wing exists. The Missouri Wing may make annual distributions requests of up to 5% annually but no request was made in 2011.

    f. Oral History Funds

    Oral history funds represent restricted funds donated for the production of oral histories and educational materials and seminars in schools.

    g. Building Funds

    AAHM building funds represent donations for the construction of the American Airpower Heritage Group facilities in Midland. These facilities include the headquarters building, the hangar and the museum.

    h. Museum Exhibit Fund

    AAHM building funds represent funds donated by private individuals and foundations for the development of museum exhibits.

    i. Symposium Funds

    Symposium funds represent donor-restricted contributions for the purpose of development of the museum and for general educational programs.

    j. Annuity Funds

    Annuity funds represent funds received in the form of a charitable gift annuity, which have been restricted for payments to the annuitant.

    k. CAF Officers Club

    CAF Officers Club funds represent donor-restricted contributions for the purpose of maintaining and improving the Gunfighter Pub located in the Commemorative Center.

    l. Save the Girls

    Save the Girls funds represent donor-restricted contributions for the purpose of Nose Art restoration.

    m. Archives

    Archive funds represent funds donated by private individuals, foundations and corporations for the development and installation of an automated retrieval system for proper documentation of archives.

    n. Aircraft Acquisition Fund

    This fund is set up to accumulate donations on behalf of the fund for acquisition and transportation of additional aircraft for the AAHFM and AAHM.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents held in the Life Members, Endowment, Aircraft Maintenance, Annuity Funds, and Museum Revocable Trust Accounts are included in cash for financial statement and statement of cash flow purposes. At year-end, cash balances were held with financial institutions in either deposit accounts or in trust. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Group considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED Receivables

    a. Accounts Receivable

    Annual membership dues are recorded as receivables in the period the membership will renew. Also included in receivables are insurance amounts charged to Wings but not yet collected.

    b. Pledges Receivable

    Pledges of aircraft sponsorships and life memberships are recorded as receivables in the year pledged.

    Revenues are recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

    Inventories

    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method.

    Investments

    The Groups investments are comprised of marketable equity securities, marketable debt securities, mutual funds, interests in common trust funds and certificates of deposits. The investments are carried at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices.

    Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment acquisitions have consistently been recorded at cost if purchased and at fair market value at date received if donated. In the case of capitalized leases, cost represents the present value of the future minimum lease payments including any bargain purchase option.

    Major renewals and improvements that extend the life of an asset or benefit one or more subsequent periods are capitalized. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not extend or improve the life of existing assets are charged to expense in the period incurred. When properties or equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gain or loss from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income currently.

    Buildings 20 - 40 YearsLeasehold improvements 40 YearsFurniture, fixtures and equipment 5 -10 YearsMuseum exhibits 10 YearsVehicles 3 -15 Years

    Intangible Assets

    Intangible assets consist of trademarks and accumulated amortization. The life of these assets is 40 years. At December 31, 2011, Headquarters intangibles had a book value of $9,693, net of $2,399 amortization and Museum intangibles had a book value of $30,359, net of $48,336 amortization.

    Accrued Employee Benefits

    Employees are granted vacation in varying amounts. In the event of termination, an employee is paid for accumulated vacation days not exceeding 30 days. The accrued liability of approximately $75,463 has been recorded in these consolidating financial statements. Sick leave is also granted to the employees and may accrue to 30 days, but is not payable upon termination, and therefore has not been accrued.

    Retirement Plan

    The Group offers full-time, permanent, employees a 3% employer matching simple IRA (SRA) retirement plan.

    Aircraft Collection, Museum and Library

    In conformity with the practice followed by many museums, aircraft collection, museum objects and library objects, purchased or donated, are not included in the accompanying balance sheets. Insurance recoveries from non-recorded collection objects are recorded as revenue upon collection. Aircraft expenditures are recorded by HQ as an expense when funded by HQ on behalf of the Wings and Squadrons. Reimbursements, if any, of these expenses are recorded as revenue when received by HQ from the Wings and Squadrons indirectly through the AAHF, which has ownership of the aircraft sponsorship funds. Any insurance proceeds received on destroyed aircraft or income from the sale of an aircraft may only be used for the purchase of a new aircraft or repair of an existing aircraft.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    Federal Income Taxes

    The Group is a qualified nonprofit organization and is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Group adopted new guidance which clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions effective October 1, 2008. The guidance requires that the Group recognize in its financial statements the financial effect of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any appeals or litigation processes, based upon the technical merits of the position. The guidance also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties and disclosure. Tax positions taken related to the Groups tax exempt status for federal tax purposes and state filing requirements have been reviewed, and management is of the opinion that material positions taken by the Group would more likely than not be sustained by examination. Accordingly, the Group has not recorded an income tax liability for uncertain tax benefits. As December 31, 2011, the Groups tax years 2008 through 2010 remain subject to examination.

    Concentrations

    The Group maintains its cash balances at several financial institutions located throughout the United States. Cash balances may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

    Use of Estimates

    In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Deferred Revenue

    Income from membership dues not yet earned and insurance fees is deferred and recognized over the periods to which the dues and fees relate.

    Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications have been made to December 31, 2010 consolidated totals to conform to the classification practices applied in the December 31, 2011 financial statements.

    NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

    Subsequent Events

    The Group has evaluated events subsequent to the date of the statement of net assets (December 31, 2011) through August 3, 2012, the date the consolidating financial statements were available to be issued.

    NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH UNITS

    The CAF operates primarily through 72 chartered Wings, Squadrons and Detachments chartered and directed by HQ. The following is a summary of the significant transactions between the Units and HQ and the impact upon the accompanying financial statements.

    a. Various Wings, Squadrons and Detachments sponsor air shows, which must be

    approved in advance by HQ. The net profits from the air shows remain with the Wing or Squadron for specific aircraft restoration or maintenance projects.

    b. Most aircraft are supported financially by a sponsor or group of sponsors. Revenues received by the Wings, Squadrons or Detachments for this purpose must be remitted to AAHF. AAHF records the sponsor funds as revenue by aircraft and general donations as gifts as cash is received.

    c. Substantially all Units incur aircraft restoration and maintenance costs on the aircraft

    assigned to them. To the extent that specific aircraft sponsor funds exist, AAHF will reimburse the Wing or Squadron for the expenditures or pay the charges directly. In certain cases, and by HQ approval only, these costs will be reimbursed or paid out of general funds if specific aircraft sponsor funds are not available.

    AAHF records an operating expense as reimbursements or expenditures made.

    Revenues are recorded when received from the AAHF where funds for sponsorships are retained and invested.

    d. Some repairs and maintenance are performed at the HQ. Costs to repair the aircraft

    are charged to operating expense as incurred.

    e. Most insurance coverages are negotiated by HQ staff and charged to the individual aircraft (aircraft liability) or general and administrative expense as appropriate.

    f. Various Units occasionally purchase items of inventory through the CAF HQ PX.

    CAF HQ records both revenue and cost of sales for these sales.

  • AMERICAN AIRPOWER HERITAGE GROUP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    20

    NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH UNITS CONTINUED

    g. Most Units have been assigned at least one of the historic airplanes to operate and maintain in accordance with HQ policy. No compensation is received by HQ for this assignment; however, the aircraft can be recalled at any time.

    h. All Units pay an Annual Unit Administration Charge (ANUAC). This charge is

    necessary to provide additional revenue to support CAF HQ in meeting the various rules and regulations as set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration, which requires central record keeping and central responsibility to be maintained, to operate a unique business of flying 60-year-old aircraft. ANUAC revenues and expenses are part of the entitys financial statements but then are eliminated during the consolidating process.

    i. Some donations are the result of direct mail fund raising programs administered by a

    professional fund raising company. A 3rd party company processes donation deposits and vendor payments. The Unit then receives any net income from each project but is not held liable for project net losses.

    NOTE 3. LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIDLAND, TEXAS AND THE

    COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE, INC.

    By agreement made and entered into on the 4th day of July 1990 by and between the City of Midland, Texas, a home rule municipal corporation existing by and under the authority of the laws of the state of Texas, and the CAF, the City of Midland has agreed to lease to the CAF certain lots at the Midland International Airport together with the buildings and improvements located thereon and to be constructed thereon by CAF, all rights and easements appurtenant thereto, and all fixtures, apparatus, equipment and improvements to be provided by CAF and located thereon.

    The purpose of the lease is to allow the CAF to operate and maintain a museum and ancillary facilities dedicated to the preservation and display of historic military aircraft and other military artifacts and the education of the public in the subject of aviation history generally. This agreement commenced on July 1, 1990 (the Commencement Date) and terminates on June 30, 2040, unless terminated earlier pursuant to provisions of the agreement.

  • AMERICAN AIRPOWER HERITAGE GROUP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    21

    NOTE 3. LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIDLAND, TEXAS AND THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE, INC. CONTINUED

    Throughout the term of this agreement, CAF shall pay annually to the City rent in the amount of one dollar ($1), said rent to be due and payable on the commencement date and on each subsequent anniversary date of the commencement date during the lease term. In addition to the rent to be paid pursuant to the lease agreement, the CAF agreed as additional consideration for this agreement to substantially complete within 24 months after the commencement date the renovation of the existing improvements on the leased premises (the Windecker Facility) and construction of such additional square footage of maintenance, storage, and exhibit hangars as are necessary to achieve the CAF's purpose. The CAF agreed that it would expend not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) on such renovations and improvements. Approximately $4,800,000 of renovations and improvements were completed by July 1992. Also, CAF must display at all times no less than 15 aircraft or 10% of the number owned, whichever is larger. Based on current market activity, the fair market value of rent on this land would be $784,000 per year. This in-kind donation is properly recorded in CAF Headquarters statement of activities as both an expense and donation. CAF has complied with all major provisions and covenants of the lease as set forth in the above paragraphs.

    NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS

    For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are described below:

    Level 1: Quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

    Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

    Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are

    significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

    Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statement of financial position, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

  • AMERICAN AIRPOWER HERITAGE GROUP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    22

    NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS CONTINUED Investments

    Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include publicly traded stocks, mutual funds, and money market funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the combined statements of financial position measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2011:

    NOTE 13. ENDOWMENT FUNDS

    Board Designated Endowment Funds and Quasi-Endowment Fund

    As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The Groups Board of Directors established a quasi-endowment fund for the support and benefit of the CAF, the AAHFM and the AHM. This fund is temporarily restricted and all Foundation funds, except those funds necessary for its own administrative purposes, are deposited into this fund and are invested, held and administered by the Board as needed.

    Interpretation of the Law

    The Group has interpreted the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Group classifies as permanently restricted net assets: (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as unrestricted-designated quasi-endowment until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the organization in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA.

    Endowment Spending and Investment Policies

    The Group has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a fairly predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment funds while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Most assets are invested and are administered by Western National Bank Private Client Services in a manner that is intended to produce results with a moderate level of investment risk. A small portion of the assets are in interest bearing money market accounts. The Group expects its endowment funds, over time, to provide an average rate of return of approximately 8% percent annually. While actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount, the CAF General Staff may request up to a 5% market value distribution of income from the endowments.

    NOTE 14. CONTRIBUTED SERVICES

    Contributions are recognized at their fair value if the services received (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or (b) require specialized skills that are provided by individuals possessing those skills and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. Management determined that the total contributed services that met this definition were $1,089,787 and were recorded as contributions and charged to flight operations in the consolidating financial statements.

    A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to develop the Groups programs, principally its aircraft operations and restoration. These donated services are not reflected in the consolidating financial statements since the services do not require specialized skills.

    NOTE 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The American Airpower Heritage Group (the Group) consists of four entities as discussed in Note 1. As part of their operations, there are various transactions between the entities for various purposes. The recording of these transactions depends upon the underlying intent. If the transfer is a temporary advance, other intragroup receivables and payables are recorded. These amounts are reversed when the advance is repaid.

    NOTE 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS CONTINUED Transactions from one corporation to another in accordance with operating agreements or other donor designations for fulfilling the mission of the Group are recorded as revenues of the receiving entity and as expenditures of the provider entity and are included in donations to or from affiliates. For the purposes of consolidating financial statements, all intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

    NOTE 17. CURRENT YEAR AIRCRAFT COLLECTION PROCEEDS AND RESTORATION GRANT

    During 2008, CAF general staff set up an intergroup grant for the restoration of aircraft. Through the restoration grant program, aircraft not being utilized by the CAF are sold and proceeds used for repairs and maintenance expenses of current aircraft. These funds are put into a temporarily restricted account and are used only for restoration purposes. Units seeking use of these funds submit a request for the funds needed and explanation of how the funds will be used. The restoration committee reviews requests and awards monies to Units for use on specific aircrafts.

    In 2011 a plane was sold for $10,000 and those funds applied to the restoration grant program along with $1,250 of donations received for this program. A total of $224,650 was awarded to various units for multiple restoration projects and the purchase of one plane.
