SAE Annual Report 2009 - 27

Net assets increased $5.1 million during 2009 as a result of the non-operating gains noted above. The increase in net assets for the year of $5.1 million, when combined with net assets at the beginning of the year of $25.1 million, resulted in $30.2 million net assets at year-end. Once again we received a favorable management letter from our independent auditors. Cited positively were SAE internal control activities including budgeting and reporting to the Finance Committee, and the SAE control environment including integrity and ethical values, commitment to competence, Board of Directors and Audit Committee participation, and management’s philosophy and operating style. As a reminder, please recall that SAE is tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Ultimate responsibility for the financial statements and other information in the annual report rests with the SAE Board of Directors. The Board, through its Finance Committee and Financial Audit Committee, monitors the system of accounting and internal controls, investment management, and the professional competency and integrity of persons performing these functions. The independent auditors have direct access to the Financial Audit Committee to discuss the scope and results of their audit, their comments on the adequacy of internal accounting controls, and the quality of financial reporting.

If you would like more details about the accompanying financial statements or any aspect of financial operations at SAE, please feel free to contact either of us or Dana Pless, Chief Financial Officer at SAE World Headquarters (dpless@sae.org). Respectfully submitted,

Terence J. Rhoades Treasurer

Carol A. Story Assistant Treasurer
