Scope. Reynoldstown Square is a home owner association located in Atlanta, Georgia. Reynoldstown Square was constructed in 2004. The community consists of nine townhouse buildings with a total of 46 units. The survey examined the common elements of the property, including: Site facilities, including fences and railings, and retaining walls. Underground utilities, including domestic water and sanitary sewer mains and laterals. Building exteriors, including roofing, siding, masonry, front and back entrances, patios, decks, garage doors, and concrete driveways. Section D Condition Assessment
Level of Service. This study has been performed as a Level I, Full Service Reserve Study as defined under the National Reserve Study Standards that have been adopted by the Community Associations Institute. As such, a complete component inventory was established based on information regarding commonly-owned components provided by the community manager and upon quantities derived from field measurement and/or quantity takeoffs from to-scale engineering drawings. The condition of all commonly-owned components was ascertained from a site visit and the visual inspection of each component by the Analyst. The life expectancy and the value of the components are provided based in part on these observations. The fund status and funding plan have been derived from analysis of this data.

Appendix
Purpose. The purpose of this Replacement Reserve Study is to provide Reynoldstown Square (hereinafter called the Association) with an inventory of the common community facilities and infrastructure components that require periodic replacement. The Study includes a general view of the condition of these items and an effective financial plan to fund projected periodic replacements. Inventory of Items Owned by the Association. Section B Replacement Reserve Inventory lists the Projected Replacements of the commonly owned items that require periodic replacement using funding from Replacement Reserves. The Replacement Reserve Inventory also provides information about excluded items, which are items whose replacements are not scheduled for funding from Replacement Reserves. Condition of Items Owned by the Association. Section B Replacement Reserve Inventory includes our estimates of the normal economic life and the remaining economic life for the projected replacements. Section C Calendar of Projected Annual Replacements provides a year-by-year listing of the projected replacements. Section D Condition Assessment provides additional detail for items that are unique or deserving of attention because of their condition or the manner in which they have been treated in this Study. Financial Plan. The Association has a fiduciary responsibility to protect the appearance, value, and safety of the property and it is therefore essential the Association have a financial plan that provides funding for the projected replacements. In conformance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountant guidelines, Section A Replacement Reserve Analysis evaluates the current funding of Replacement Reserves as reported by the Association and recommends annual funding of Replacement Reserves by two generally accepted accounting methods; the Cash Flow Method and the Component Method. Section A Replacement Reserve Analysis includes graphic and tabular presentations of these methods and current Association funding. An Executive Summary of these calculations is provided on Page A1.
Basis. The data contained in this Replacement Reserve Study is based upon the following: The Request for Proposal submitted and executed by the Association. Our visual evaluation and measurements on March 20, 2009. Miller - Dodson Associates has visually inspected the common elements of the property in order to ascertain the remaining useful life and the replacement costs of these components.
Engineering Drawings. No architectural drawings or engineering site plans were available for review in connection with this study. We recommend the Association assemble a library of site and building plans of the entire community. Reproducible drawings should be stored and kept in a secure fireproof location. The Association will find these drawings to be a valuable resource in planning and executing future projects. Acknowledgement. Miller - Dodson Associates would like to acknowledge the assistance and input of Mr. Robert Gleadall, who provided very helpful insight into the current operations at the property.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The REYNOLDSTOWN SQUARE Replacement Reserve Inventory identifies 62 Projected Replacements for funding from Replacement Reserves, with an estimated one-time replacement cost of $827,904. The Replacement Reserve Analysis calculates recommended funding of Replacement Reserves by the two generally accepted methods, the Cash Flow Method and the Component Method. The Analysis also evaluates current funding of Replacement Reserves, as reported by the Association. The calculations and evaluation are summarized below:
$30,063
CASH FLOW METHOD MINIMUM ANNUAL FUNDING OF REPLACEMENT RESERVES IN THE STUDY YEAR, 2009.
$54.46 Per unit (average), minimum monthly funding of Replacement Reserves
The Cash Flow Method (CFM) calculates Minimum Annual Funding of Replacement Reserves that will fund Projected Replacements identified in the Replacement Reserve Inventory from a common pool of Replacement Reserves and prevent Replacement Reserves from dropping below a Minimum Recommended Balance. CFM - Minimum Annual Funding remains the same between peaks in cumulative expenditures called Peak Years. The first Peak Year occurs in 2045 which is outside of the 30-year Study Period. The Cash Flow Method - Minimum Annual Funding of Replacement Reserves remains constant at $30,063 throughout the entire 30-year Study Period.
$57,598
COMPONENT METHOD RECOMMENDED ANNUAL FUNDING OF REPLACEMENT RESERVES IN THE STUDY YEAR, 2009.
$104.34 Per unit (average), recommended monthly funding of Replacement Reserves
The Component Method is a time tested and very conservative funding model developed by HUD in the early 1980's. The Component Method treats each projected replacement in the Replacement Reserve Inventory as a separate account. Deposits are made to each individual account, where funds are held for exclusive use by that item. Based on this funding model, the Association has a Current Funding Objective of $208,630. The Association reports having $30,300 on deposit, which is 14.5% funded.
$14,000
The evaluation of Current Funding, as reported by the Association, has calculated that if the Association continues to fund Replacement Reserves at the current level, there will NOT be adequate funds for Projected Replacements in 20 years of the 30-year Study Period, and a maximum shortfall of $-588,602 occurs in 2038.
Pages A2 and A3 explain the Study Year, Study Period, Adjustments (interest & inflation), Beginning Balance, and Projected Replacements. Pages A4 to A7 explain in more detail the calculations associated with the Cash Flow Method, Component Method, and Current Funding.

PROJECTED REPLACEMENTS The REYNOLDSTOWN SQUARE Replacement Reserve Inventory (Section B) identifies 62 Projected Replacements with a one-time Replacement Cost of $827,904 and replacements totaling $1,072,804 over the 30-year Study Period. Projected Replacements are the replacement of commonly-owned items that: require periodic replacement and whose replacement is to be funded from Replacement Reserves. The Replacement Reserve Inventory also identifies 30 Excluded Items. Expenditures for the replacement of these items are NOT scheduled for funding from Replacement Reserves. The accuracy of the calculations made in the Replacement Reserve Analysis is dependent on expenditures NOT being made for Excluded Items. The rationale behind these exclusions is discussed in detail on Page B1. Expenditures from Replacements Reserves should be made only after consultation with an accounting professional. The Section B - Replacement Reserve Inventory, contains Tables that list each Projected Replacement (and any Excluded Items) broken down into 11 major categories (Pages B3 to B13). Tables are also included that list each Projected Replacement by year for each of the 30 years of the Study Period beginning on Page C1. The accuracy of this Replacement Reserve Analysis is dependent upon expenditures from Replacement Reserves being made only for the Projected Replacements specifically listed in the Replacement Reserve Inventory.

CASH FLOW METHOD MINIMUM ANNUAL FUNDING OF REPLACEMENT RESERVES IN THE STUDY YEAR, 2009.
$54.46 Per unit (average), minimum monthly funding of Replacement Reserves
General. The Cash Flow Method is founded on the concept that the Replacement Reserve Account is solvent if cumulative receipts always exceed cumulative expenses. The Cash Flow Method calculates a MINIMUM annual deposit to Replacement Reserves that will: Fund all Projected Replacements listed in the Replacement Reserve Inventory (see Section B) Prevent Replacement Reserves from dropping below the Minimum Recommended Balance of $41,395, which is 5.0 percent of the one-time replacement cost of the Projected Replacements listed in the Inventory Allow a constant annual funding level between peaks in cumulative expenditures
