Identifier Return Reference Explanation
AMENDED RETURN EXPLANATION FORM 990, PAGE 1, ITEM B THE RETURN IS AMENDED TO REFLECT THE RESTATEMENT OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: IN CONNECTION WITH A CONSTRUCTION LOAN FOR THE MULTI-PURPOSE EDUCATION CENTER, DATED SEPTEMBER 14, 2006, AAMA SIGNED A GENERAL SWAP MASTER CONTRACT DATED SEPTEMBER 14, 2006, AND ENTERED INTO AN INTEREST RATE SWAP TRANSACTION WITH THE LENDING BANK TO PAY INTEREST ON THE OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCE AT A FIXED RATE NOT TO EXCEED 5.68% PER ANNUM FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 14, 2006 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 14, 2021. THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRANSACTION WAS TO MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF RISING INTEREST RATES ON A VARIABLE RATE MORTGAGE NOTE WITH AAMA'S PRINCIPLE BANK. THE INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT IS A DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE MARKED TO FAIR VALUE AND RECORDED ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION. THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT WAS A LIABILITY OF 823,830, AS OF AUGUST 31, 2011. ALTHOUGH AAMA HAD FULLY DISCLOSED THE INTEREST RATE SWAP TRANSACTION IN ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BEGINNING IN 2007, AND ITS BELIEF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION SHOULD BE RECORDED ANNUALLY AS CHARGES AGAINST INTEREST EXPENSE WERE SHOWN AS SUCH IN ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SINCE 2007, DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 2012 AAMAS CURRENT AUDITORS DETERMINED THAT THE INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT ENTERED INTO BY AAMA ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2006, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, HAD BEEN INCORRECTLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS ERROR RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM A MISUNDERSTANDING BY AAMA AND ITS AUDITORS OF THE HIGHLY COMPLEX NATURE OF ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS USED TO MITIGATE RISKS. THIS DETERMINATION RESULTED IN THE MISSTATEMENT OF UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND THE CURRENT AND NONCURRENT LIABILITIES AS OF AUGUST 31, 2010 AND 2011.
