MMC’s liquidity ratios are unimpressive. The current ratio is just barely 1, when a more general standard
would be 2. The quick ratio for 2012 has fallen below 1. MMC has substantial accrued salaries and accounts
payable. Failure to collect receivables promptly could force MMC to dip into their letters of credit. These low
ratios present a warning sign. This is exacerbated by the fact that the current portion of long-term debt is listed
first on the balance sheet. This implies that the current portion of long-term debt, accounts payable, and accrued
salaries will all need to be paid in the very near term. These items make up 98% of current liabilities. This makes
MMC’s liquidity position tenuous.
Another widely used liquidity ratio is days of cash on hand. This measure compares cash and marketable
securities to daily operating expenses. This is more stringent yet, trying to assess how long the organization
could meet its typical daily expenses using just the cash (and near cash assets) on hand.

The collection period of 45 days is reasonably good.
An inventory turnover will not be calculated. Inventory is quite low relative to total assets (about 1%).
Unfortunately supplies and many other expenses are lumped together. Therefore the resulting ratio,
which would be nearly 100 turns, would not be meaningful and would probably be misleading.

In calculating the fixed asset turnover ratio, one could certainly argue over the appropriate measure of fixed
assets. Should assets limited to sinking fund and collateral be included as above or excluded? We would argue
that inclusion is appropriate because they are resources that the organization requires, because of the way it is
operated. However, the exact definition is not important. The key is to try to be consistent over time
and across organizations.

The fixed asset turnover indicates that $3.40 of revenue are generated for each dollar of fixed assets. The total

The debt and debt to equity ratios are stable. They appear high, but this is typical of the health care industry.
Lenders allow high debt ratios, because they know the government will be paying for approximately
half of all care, and the government is likely to make its required payments.
Times interest earned has improved from a dangerously low level. An eye should be kept on this ratio to see if it
reverts to a low level or continues to improve. The cash flow ratio, which could have been defined a number of
different ways, has decreased, warranting examination of coming debt payments. Was the increase in repayment of l
$9.5 million to $13.3 million the beginning of a trend? From parts b and c of Note 5, it is apparent that debt
payments are likely to rise in coming years. Therefore, management will have to carefully monitor its cash flow.

The operating and total margins are quite slim. Although MMC is not losing money, one might question whether
its surplus is adequate to allow for long-term reinvestment in plant and facilities. Return on total assets is similarly
slim. The returns on net assets are higher, but one might question whether this is a reflection of a
profitable organization, or just an organization with fairly low equity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
North Carolina Performing Arts Center at Charlotte Foundation
Charlotte, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of North Carolina Performing Arts Center at
Charlotte Foundation (the "BPA") which comprise the statements of financial position as of August 31,
2014 and June 30, 2013, and the related statements of activities and cash flows the fourteen month
period ended August 31, 2014 and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes to the
financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of North Carolina Performing Arts Center at Charlotte Foundation as of August 31, 2014
and June 30, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fourteen month period
ended August 31, 2014 and for the year ended June 30, 2013 in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fourteen Month Period Ended August 31, 2014 and Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
North Carolina Performing Arts Center at Charlotte Foundation, a nonprofit organization incorporated on
May 8, 1987, operates as Blumenthal Performing Arts (“BPA”) to present the best in the performing arts,
and in partnership with others, share and employ the arts as a major catalyst to strengthen education,
build community cohesiveness, and advance economic growth. BPA manages the operation of three
performance spaces located in the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center (the “Center”): the 2,097-seat Belk
Theater, the 444-seat Booth Playhouse, and the Stage Door Theater which seats 170. A fourth
performance space, the 1,193-seat Knight Theater, was completed in the Fall of 2009. BPA also
manages the operation of Spirit Square Center for Arts and Education (“Spirit Square”), a community
center focusing on arts education and community theater, which includes the 730-seat McGlohon Theater
and the Duke Energy Theater which seats 182. BPA presents national touring Broadway productions and
a wide range of special attractions. Additionally, BPA’s Education Institute and its Community Programs
Division develop innovative partnerships with schools and community organizations to bring the
performing arts to life for people throughout the region. BPA is home to eleven resident arts organizations
including Charlotte Symphony, Opera Carolina, Charlotte Ballet, Jazz Arts Initiative, Community School of
the Arts, The Light Factory, Queen City Theater Company, Charlotte Shakespeare, On Q Productions,
Starving Artist Productions, Caroline Calouche & Co., and Studio 345. The Center and the Knight
Theaters are owned by the City of Charlotte, North Carolina (the “City”) and Spirit Square Center is owned
by Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (the “County”) (see Note I).
In 2014, the Board of Trustees approved the change of BPA’s year end to August 31, 2014. As a result,
the current year financial statements report a fourteen month period.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Net
assets and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of
donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as
follows:
Unrestricted net assets – Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.
Temporarily restricted net assets – Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will
be met, either by specific actions of BPA and/or the passage of time. When a restriction expires,
that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily
restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statements of
Activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Permanently restricted net assets – Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be
maintained permanently by BPA. Generally, the donors of these assets permit BPA to use all or
part of the income earned on any related investments for general or specific purposes.

Fourteen Month Period Ended August 31, 2014 and Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flows, BPA considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents unless held by
investment managers as part of the investment portfolio.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at unpaid balances, less an allowance for doubtful accounts of
approximately $2,200 and $10,300 at August 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. BPA provides for
losses on accounts receivable using the allowance method. The allowance is based on experience and
other circumstances which may affect the ability of customers to meet their obligations. Receivables are
considered impaired if full principal payments are not received in accordance with the contractual terms.
It is BPA’s policy to charge off uncollectible accounts receivable when management determines the
receivable will not be collected.
Investments
Investments are valued at fair value. Fair value is determined by reference to exchange or dealer-quoted
market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices
for similar investment securities. Changes in the fair value of securities are reflected in return on
investments in the accompanying Statement of Activities. See Note C for discussion of fair value
measurements.
Investments in Performances
BPA is a limited partner in several limited liability partnerships that invest in theatrical stage productions.
BPA’s ownership percentage in each limited liability partnership is less than 5%. The investment in these
limited liability partnerships is accounted for using the cost method, and income recognized is limited to
distributions received from the partnerships in excess of BPA’s original investment. Annually,
Management reviews the investments and determines, at that time, if a portion of the investment is
considered impaired and writes it down to the net realizable value. As of August 31, 2014 and June 30,
2013, BPA had an investment of approximately $6,700 and $120,000, respectively, in one of the
productions whose general partner is also an officer of BPA.
Property and Equipment
All acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of $2,500 and all expenditures for repairs,
maintenance, renewals, and betterments in excess of $2,500 that materially prolong the useful lives of
assets are capitalized. Property and equipment is stated at cost when purchased, and at estimated
market value when donated. BPA records depreciation of its property and equipment using the straightline method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives of BPA’s assets are
twenty years for the organ façade and building improvements and three to ten years for all other assets.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Beneficial Interest of Assets Held in Trust
BPA recognizes contribution revenue from assets donated to a recipient organization for the sole benefit
of BPA.
Donated Services
BPA records the value of donated services and equipment in its financial statements if a basis is available
to measure the value of such services and equipment. Donated services are generally recognized if such
services enhance nonfinancial assets and require a specialized skill. The amounts are included in
contributions and grant revenues on the accompanying Statement of Activities.
BPA generally pays for services requiring specific expertise. In 2014, BPA received $6,972 in donated
legal services. No amounts have been reflected in the 2013 financial statements for donated services.
Community members volunteer as ushers, tour guides, administrative assistants, and advisors. A dollar
valuation of their efforts is not reflected in the financial statements, however, the estimated volunteer
hours for the fourteen month period ended August 31, 2014 and year ended June 30, 2013 were
approximately 63,000 and 42,000 hours, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
In the absence of donor restrictions, contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use. All
income is recognized in the period when the contribution, pledge, or unconditional promise to give is
received. Government funding and grants are recorded as unrestricted revenue funds and are
reimbursements for expenditures made by BPA.
Unconditional promises to give due in the next year are recorded at their net realizable value.
Unconditional promises to give due in subsequent years are recorded at the present value of their net
realizable value, using risk-free interest rates applicable to the years in which the pledges are received.
Amortization of the resulting discount is taken into income as a contribution in subsequent years.
Deferred revenue represents cash received from advance ticket sales and season sponsorships. Ticket
sale revenue is recorded after the related performances are completed and associated cost settlements
are calculated. Sponsorship revenue is recognized in the fiscal year specified in the sponsorship
contract.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs related to specific events are deferred and amortized in the period of the event. BPA
charges advertising costs to events as incurred on the accompanying Statements of Activities.
Advertising expense for the fourteen month period ended August 31, 2014 and year ended June 30, 2013
was approximately $1,969,000 and $1,329,000, respectively.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Tax Status
In the United States Treasury Department determination letter dated October 15, 1992, BPA was
determined to be tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, there
are no income taxes provided for in the accompanying financial statements. BPA has accrued $22,700 in
estimated federal and state taxes for Unrelated Business Income for the fourteen months ended August
31, 2014. Fiscal years ending after June 30, 2012 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax
authorities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.
Subsequent Events
BPA evaluated the effect subsequent events would have on the financial statements through
November 26, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
NOTE B – UNCONDITIONAL PROMISES TO GIVE
Unconditional promises to give represent all outstanding commitments for contributions to BPA. Pledges
are recorded as a receivable at the time a written pledge is received.
Pledges receivable are as follows:

NOTE C – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Page 10
NORTH CAROLINA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AT CHARLOTTE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fourteen Month Period Ended August 31, 2014 and Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE C – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly
observable. Money market funds are valued using $1 for the unit value using the market
approach. Fixed income securities are valued on the basis of valuations provided by pricing
services, which determines valuations using methods based upon market transactions for
comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally
recognized by institutional traders.
Level 3: Prices or valuations that require using significant unobservable inputs in determining fair
value. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by
the investment manager. The investment manager uses either the market approach, which
generally consists of using comparable market transactions, or the income approach which
general consists of net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for
liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. The inputs used by the investment manager in
estimating the value of Level 3 investments include NAV and capital account values provided by
the managers for investment fund positions, original transaction price, recent transactions in the
same or similar instruments for private equity positions, original transaction price for the common
stock position and a single broker quote for the corporate bond position.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to
the fair value measurement. The Plan’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair
value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and
their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the underlying assets measured at fair
value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at August 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, BPA investments at fair value as of

The investment portion of the beneficial interest in assets held in trust and endowment investments are
considered by BPA to be Level 3 assets because they represent interests held in pooled investment
funds, which include private investment funds. As discussed in Notes D and E, the Foundation for the
Carolinas (“FFTC”) manages the administration of these investments.
For the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 valuations during the period,

NOTE D –SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND ENDOWMENT INVESTMENTS (Continued)
BPA’s endowment investments are held by the Greater Charlotte Cultural Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust,
which is a supporting foundation of the FFTC, is a separate legal entity with its own board of directors
which oversees endowment administration, evaluates planned giving opportunities, and makes
investment decisions. FFTC, a nonprofit organization that serves donors, communities, and a broad
range of charitable purposes in North and South Carolina, provides investment and administrative
services for the Trust. The Trust invests in a variety of investments, which are subject to fluctuations in
market values and expose the Trust to a certain degree of interest and credit risk.
The Trust has investments with fund managers who invest in private investment funds as part of the
Trust’s asset allocation. The investment in the private investment funds is an alternative investment
strategy with the purpose of increasing the diversity of the Trust’s holdings and is consistent with the
Trust’s overall investment objectives. The private investment funds are not traded on an exchange, and
accordingly, investments in such funds may not be as liquid as investments in marketable equity or debt
securities. The private investment funds may invest in other private investment funds, equity or debt
securities, which may or may not have readily available fair values, and foreign exchange or commodity
forward contracts. Management of the Trust relies on various factors to estimate the fair value of these
investments and believes its processes and procedures for valuing investments are effective and that its
estimate of value is reasonable. However, the factors used are subject to change in the near term, and,
accordingly, investment values and performance can be affected. The effect of these changes could be
material to the financial statements.
The following summarizes the investment return and classification in the Statements of Activities for the
fourteen month period ended August 31, 2014 and year ended June 30, 2013:

NOTE E – BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR CULTURAL FACILITIES
BPA has a beneficial interest in assets held in trust by the Trust. In 2004, the Trust completed the
Cultural Organizations Endowment Agreement related to the Campaign for Cultural Facilities. The
agreement outlines the approximately $82.3 million campaign to fund facility endowments to support the
operation of new or remodeled facilities as well as other endowment and capital needs in the cultural
community. BPA is party to this agreement and is budgeted to be allocated $8 million because the
campaign reached its fundraising goal. In accordance with the agreement, the funds will be used to
create an endowment, with the earnings to be distributed annually to fund operating costs of the facilities.
Although BPA has no control over the disbursement of these funds, BPA is a named beneficiary of a
portion of these funds. Accordingly, a beneficial interest has been included in the BPA’s assets totaling
$9,526,015 and $8,899,554 as of August 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, representing BPA’s
interest in funds raised to date.
NOTE F – ENDOWMENT FUNDS
BPA’s endowment consists of six individual funds established for a variety of purposes that are invested
at the Trust (see Note D). The endowment consists of donor-restricted endowment funds. As required by
GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence
or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. GAAP also provides guidance on the net asset classification of
donor restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to an enacted version of
Uniform Prudent Management Institutional Fund Act (“UPMIFA”).
Endowment net asset composition by type of fund for the investment portion of the endowment as of
August 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 is listed below:

Fourteen Month Period Ended August 31, 2014 and Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE F – ENDOWMENT FUNDS (Continued)
The Board of Directors of BPA has interpreted UPMIFA as requiring, absent explicit donor stipulations to
the contrary, that the following amounts included in the endowment be classified as permanently
restricted: (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment and (b) 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 be classified as permanently restricted. The remaining
portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is
classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by
BPA in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA or spent in accordance
with the purpose restrictions established by the donor.
In accordance with UPMIFA, BPA considered the following factors in making a determination to
appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowments funds:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
The duration and preservation of the fund
The purposes of BPA and the donor-restricted endowment fund
General economic conditions
The possible effect of inflation and deflation
The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments
Other resources of BPA
The investment policies of BPA
FFTC administers the endowed funds of the Trust. The Board of Directors of the Trust and ultimately
BPA have adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide for a
predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the
purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under this policy, the endowment assets are invested in a
manner that is intended to produce results that provide an average annual real rate of return, net of fees,
equal to or greater than spending, administrative fees, and inflation (Consumer Price Index). Actual
returns in any given year may vary from this amount. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the
Trust relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital
appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). Accordingly, the Trust
has adopted the following investment allocation guidelines:
Equities – large cap
Equities – small cap
Equities – emerging market
Equities – international
Bonds
Alternative investments
40% - 80%
10% - 30%
7.5% - 22.5%
2.5% - 7.5%
20% - 30%
8% - 32%

NOTE F – ENDOWMENT FUNDS (Continued)
The Trust had a policy of appropriating for distribution each year 5% of the endowment funds’ average fair
value using the prior 3 years’ value at the calendar year-end preceding the fiscal year in which the
distribution is planned. For the year ending June 30, 2011, the spending policy was amended to spend
up to a maximum of 4.5% of the average fair value over the prior twelve quarters through the calendar
year preceding the fiscal year in which the distribution is planned. The amended policy will be evaluated
on an annual basis for prudence. In establishing the spending policy, the expected return on the
endowment was taken into consideration. Accordingly, the spending policy is expected to allow the
endowment to maintain its purchasing power by growing at a rate equal to planned payouts. Additional
real growth will be provided through new gifts and any excess investment return.
Changes in the investment portion of the endowment net assets for the fourteen month period ended
August 31, 2014 and the year ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:

In accordance with GAAP, BPA records the fair market value of the leases each year. In addition, BPA

NOTE K – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
BPA sponsors a 403(b) defined contribution pension plan for full-time employees with a minimum of one

under a defined contribution plan. BPA recorded no expenses related to the plans for the fourteen month
