INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Tennessee Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church

Council on Finance and Administration
Nashville, Tennessee

I have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of the Conference Treasurer of the
Tennessee Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church as of December 31, 2005, and the related
statements of activities and cash flows and the details of transactions in restricted funds and the schedule of
general and administrative expenses for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Conference Treasurer. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis
for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Conference Treasurer as of December 31, 2005 and the changes in net assets and
its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

TENNESSEE ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
CONFERENCE TREASURER
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial
statements follow:

1. Nature of Organization. The Conference Treasurer administers Conference operating and program
funds that are received from churches, boards and agencies, and individuals of the Conference, in
accordance with the budget and other directives of the Conference and of the respective boards and
agencies. The Treasurer administers income from such funds and other revenue related to the
Conference’s programs, and disburses funds to Conference boards and agencies and other recipients in
accordance with the stipulations of the donors and of the Conference.

2. Basis of Presentation. The Conference Treasurer reports information regarding its financial position
and activities in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117,
Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, the organization is
required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes
of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net
assets based upon the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Corporation
reports information regarding contributions in accordance with SFAS No. 116, Accounting for
Contributions Received and Contributions Made. In accordance with SFAS No. 116, contributions
received are recorded as restricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending
on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions.

3. Basis of Accounting. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

4. Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily
convertible into cash within ninety days of purchase.

5. Revenue and Support. The Conference Treasurer records support, revenue, and expenses in the years
to which they apply, as specified by the Conference and as designated by the respective contributors.
The Conference Treasurer recognizes as receivable those items of support and revenue that are
designated for the present fiscal year but are received subsequent to year end. Similarly, the
Conference Treasurer recognizes as payable those program funds that are designated for distribution
in the present fiscal year but which remain unpaid as of year end.

6. Marketable Securities. Funds that are not expected to be required for immediate operation of the
Conference are maintained in various short-term investments. Such investments are reported at market
value at December 31, 2005.

7. Donated Services. Unpaid volunteers make contributions of time in various administrative

and program functions. The value of contributed time is not reflected in the financial statements
as it is not susceptible to objective measurement of valuation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

8. Functional Allocation of Expenses. The costs of providing the various programs and other activities
have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs
have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited.

9. Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted

accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

10. Income taxes. The Conference Treasurer is recognized as a not-for-profit entity that is exempt from
federal income taxes under Section 501( C ) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no
provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE B – RESTRICTED NET ASSETS:

Temporarily restricted net assets are those assets that are designated by action of the Tennessee Annual
Conference of the United Methodist Church for program ministries of the respective Conference boards
and agencies. Permanently restricted net assets consist of endowment fund investments, the income from
which is expendable for clergy pensions and other designated purposes.

Restricted assets include certain assets that are maintained by the Treasurer on behalf of certain boards and
agencies for investment and administration. These are as follows:

Fund Title Board or Agency Balance – December 31, 2005

assets total $ 425000 as of December 31, 2005, bringing total restricted net assets to $ 3768507.

NOTE C – CONTINGENCIES:

The financial statements have been prepared to reflect the effect of allocation among the funds of payment
made during the year ended December 31, 2005, in a settlement resulting from mediation of a claim
brought against the Conference. On April 2, 2005, the Tennessee Annual Conference of the United
Methodist Church, in a special session, resolved to allocate payment among the funds as follows;

Contingency $ 100000
Connectional Ministries 100000

NOTE D – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

The Conference Treasurer maintains depository accounts for Conference funds with Suntrust Bank,
Nashville, Tennessee. Accounts at banking institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) up to $ 100000. At December 31, 2005, Conference funds on deposit with Suntrust
Bank exceeded the insured amounts by $ 316076.

In addition, the Conference Treasurer has arranged with Suntrust Bank to invest on a daily basis certain
funds that are not expected to be required immediately for Conference financial operations, but may be
required for current operations at any given time. The Conference Treasurer has invested in commercial
paper that has been issued by major corporations. As of December 31, 2005, the amounts of these
investments were $ 816000.

The Conference Treasurer also maintains investment accounts with Morgan Keegan, an investment
brokerage firm. These funds are not expected to be required for current financial operations. The value of
these investments at December 31, 2005 was $ 1473565.
