The Board still needs to open a money market account for the Construction Defect Settlement
Funds, but we understand that this is being postponed until a loan has been secured so that the
funds can be moved to the same bank.

We have moved a 2011 Legal Expense from #6311 - Legal Fees for Collections to

#631 1-001  Legal Fees for Collections - 2011 in order to most accurately reconcile Legal Expenses
against Legal Income.

We have re-classed the 2012 charges for fines from #4698 - Misc. Income to #4665 - Violations/Fines
to reflect a more accurate breakdown of Other Income

We have split out Reserve Interest Income from Operating Interest Income. Operating Interest
will remain in #4705, and Reserve Interest will now be in account #4710.
