To the Constituents Potomac Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists Staunton, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying schedules of Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Center (ABC), a department of Potomac Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists (Conference), which comprise the schedules of financial position as of January 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and the related schedules of changes in net assets and schedules of cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the schedules.

Management’s Responsibility for the Schedules Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these schedules in accordance with United States of America accounting principles generally accepted by the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. This includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of schedules that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with United States of America auditing standards generally accepted by the Seventhday Adventist denomination. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the schedules are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the schedules. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the schedules, 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 schedules 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 schedules.

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, as internal auditors of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the schedules referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities, and net assets of Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Center, a department of Potomac Conference Corporation of Seventhday Adventists, as of January 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and the changes in its net assets and the cash flows of this department for the years then ended in conformity with United States of America accounting principles generally accepted by the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.

POTOMAC ADVENTIST BOOK AND HEALTH FOOD CENTER Notes to the Special-Purpose Financial Schedules Years Ended January 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011

Note 1 – Organization description and summary of significant accounting policies Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Center (ABC) is a department of the Potomac Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists (Conference) whose objectives are to sell and distribute Christian literature and related merchandise to its constituents and congregations, and to serve as a witness and outreach to the community.

The ABC receives most of its revenue in the form of sales of its merchandise.

The ABC is a religious not-for-profit organization, and is exempt from federal, state and local income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and corresponding sections of applicable state and local codes, except for taxes on unrelated business income as described in sections 511-514 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Basis of accounting: The significant accounting policies of the ABC are essentially the same as generally accepted accounting principles for notfor-profit ABCs as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These significant policies are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial schedules. The financial schedules of the ABC have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. In conformity with the accrual basis of accounting, the ABC has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to the financial schedule date, up to July 23, 2015, which is the date the financial schedules were available to be issued. (b) Use of estimates: The preparation of financial schedules in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 schedules and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Restricted resources: The ABC reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor 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 schedule of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

The ABC reports gifts of land, buildings and equipment as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used, and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets, are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how long those long-lived assets must be maintained, the ABC reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed in service. (d) Equipment and depreciation: Uses of funds for equipment acquisitions and debt service payments are accounted for as cash flows from investing and financing activities. Restricted proceeds from the sale of equipment and restricted income from plant related investments are recorded as restricted gains. Interest payments made to retire plant indebtedness are recorded as non-operating expense. Equipment is recorded at cost when purchased or at fair market value at date of gift. Furniture and equipment purchases $1,000 and larger are capitalized. Purchases below $1,000 may be capitalized at management's discretion. Depreciation of equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, building 6075 years, equipment 3-5 years, vehicles 5-10 years, and electronics 3-5 years, on a straight-line basis. Depreciation expense is recorded as operating expense in the schedule of changes in net assets. (e) Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are highly-liquid assets held for operating, which are readily convertible to cash and have a maturity date of less than three months from date of acquisition. Cash and investments held for other than operating are not classified as cash and cash equivalents.

The increase or decrease in non-operating cash and investments is reported in the schedule of cash flows as proceeds from or purchases of investments. (f) Fair value of financial instruments: The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are: Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts in the financial schedules, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. This applies to cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and certain current liabilities.

Investment securities are valued at quoted market price or reasonable obtainable market value estimate at the reporting date for those or similar securities. The difference between aggregate market value and cost for each type of security is recorded in a valuation account. The change in this account at the close of each year is recognized as gain or loss.

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Current Assets and Liabilities: Assets and liabilities are classified as current or long-term, depending on their characteristics. This excludes from current assets the cash and claims to cash that are restricted to use for other than current operations, committee allocated for the acquisition or construction of plant assets or for the liquidation of plant fund debt, or held as agent for others. This excludes from current liabilities the long-term portion of all debt, plant fund debt payable within the next fiscal year to the extent covered by designated plant fund liquid assets, or amounts held as fiscal agent for others. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) for the ABC usually reflects operating working capital, since usually no plant-related assets or liabilities are classified as current. (h) Concentrations of Risk: The ABC receives most of its revenue from sales of merchandise. It is subject to the effect of economic trends that may decrease the ability of customers to purchase its merchandise. Also, it purchases most of its inventory from three major suppliers: Pacific Press Publishing Association, Review & Herald Publishing Association and Sunbelt Natural Foods. There is a risk that suppliers' pricing and product decisions could conflict with the ABC's sales objectives. Cash, which at times exceeds amounts covered by FDIC insurance, is deposited in highquality financial institutions. (i) Provision for Uncollectible Accounts: An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided through routine additions based on sales, historical bad debt experience and aging of receivables. Accounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance. (j) Inventory: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair value under the first-in, first-out method. (k) Investment Income: Investment Income is accounted for as unrestricted non-operating income.

Note 12 – Pension & Other Post-Retirement Benefits Defined benefit plans The Organization participates in the following non-contributory, defined benefit plans: 1. The defined benefit pension plan known as the Seventh-day Adventist Retirement Plan of the North American Division (NADRP). This plan, which covers substantially all employees of the Organizations, is administered by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, North American Division (NAD), in Silver Spring, Maryland, and is exempt from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as a "multipleemployer" plan of a church-related agency. This plan provides primarily monthly pension benefits based on years of service and other factors.

The NAD Committee voted to freeze accrual of service credit in NADRP effective December 31, 1999, except for employees who chose the career completion option, and to start a new defined contribution plan effective January 1, 2000. Certain employees will continue to be eligible for future benefits under this plan. The Organizations continue to make contributions to this plan, at rates determined annually by the plan.

2.

The defined benefit health care plan known as the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist North American Division Retiree Auxiliary Healthcare Assistance and Death Benefit Plan (RAHAP). This plan, which covers substantially all employees of the Organization, is administered

by NAD in Silver Spring, Maryland, and is exempt from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as a “multiple-employer” plan of a church-related agency. This plan provides primarily health-care benefits which supplement Medicare benefits. The extent of these benefits is based on years of service and the beneficiary’s monthly contribution.

Accounting standards define these plans as “multiemployer” plans. As such, it is not required, nor is it possible, to determine the actuarial value of accumulated benefits or plan net assets for employees of the Organization apart from other plan participants.

Information about the required contributions to these plans, the actuarial obligation for future benefits, and the funded status of these plans, is presented in the tables below.

Required contributions from the Organization: For the year ended January 31, 2015 For the year ended January 31, 2014 For the year ended January 31, 2013 For the year ended January 31, 2012 For the year ended January 31, 2011 Because the following information is not publicly available, it is required to be disclosed on the basis of information received from each plan.

Total contributions received from all employers: For the plan year ended January 31, 2015* For the plan year ended January 31, 2014 For the plan year ended January 31, 2013 For the plan year ended January 31, 2012 For the plan year ended January 31, 2011 Whether the Organization’s contributions were more than or less than 5% of the total contributions received by each plan: For the plan year ended January 31, 2015* For the plan year ended January 31, 2014 For the plan year ended January 31, 2013 For the plan year ended January 31, 2012 For the plan year ended January 31, 2011

12/31/2012 1,013,326,701 62,771,811 Less than 65%

*Data for January 31, 2015 not yet available.

Risks and other information The risks of participating in multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans, in the following aspects: ● Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. ● If a participating employer stops contributing to a plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. ● If the Organization chooses to stop participating in a multiemployer plan, the Organization may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

Other information about risks and contingencies related to these plans are as follows: ● Information about the plans is not publicly available, so no “certified zone status” has been determined. ● The Organization's required contributions are not the subject of any collective bargaining agreement. ● No funding improvement plans or rehabilitation plans had been implemented or were pending. ● The Organization has not paid any “surcharge” to either of the plans. ● No minimum contribution for future periods has been determined or required of the Organization.

Defined contribution plan Effective January 1, 2000, the Organization participates in a defined contribution retirement plan known as "The Adventist Retirement Plan." This plan, which covers substantially all employees of the Organization, is administered by NAD in Silver Spring, Maryland, and is exempt from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as a multiple-employer plan of a church-related agency. The Organization contributed $52,454, $60,074, $65,720, $62,896, and $53,270 to the plan for the years ended January 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 respectively, based on a stated percentage of each employee’s earnings and a stated matching percentage of certain employee voluntary contributions. Investment management of the accumulated contributions designated for each employee is provided under an agreement between NAD Corporation and GreatWest Life & Annuity Insurance Company.

Note 13 – Basis of Special Presentation The accompanying special-purpose schedules include only the accounts and activity of the ABC, which is a department of the Conference.

Compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 117 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board would require the whole organization to be included in general-use financial statements. The Conference believes this special presentation is useful to analyze this department apart from the rest of the entity.

Note 14 – Contributed Services Under provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, contributions of services shall be recognized if the services received (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or (b) require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. The ABC has received the services of the General Conference Auditing Service who have audited the financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011. The amount of contributed services recognized as revenues for the periods are $28,710, $30,837, $31,232, $25,704, and $25,413 for the years then ended, respectively. These amounts are product of the number of person-hours spent in performing the audit and the cost-recovery rate established by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
