INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Trustees of the Berkshire Museum
Pittsfield, Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Trustees of the Berkshire Museum
(a not-for-profit organization) as of June 30, 2006, and the related statements of activities, changes in net
assets, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Museum's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Museum's
2005 financial statements and, in our report dated December 18, 2005 we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.
We conducted our audit 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Trustees of the Berkshire Museum as of June 30, 2006, and the changes in its net
assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not classified as a private
Foundation, The Museum acquires, exhibits and preserves: art; natural science; and, local history
collections; plus provides: special performances of the arts; concerts; lectures; educational
movies; classes; bus trips; and, various special events to patrons and benefactors primarily from
the Berkshire Region of Massachusetts.
Ba
of Accounting
The financial statements of the Museum have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Net assets, revenues and expenses,
gains and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
Accordingly, net assets of the Museum and changes therein are classified and reported as
follows:
Unrestricted Net Assets - Represents resources over which the Board of Trustees has
discretionary control and are used to carry out the operation and management of the
Museum’s primary programs in accordance with its bylaws.
Unrestricted net asset groups are described as follows:
Operating - Funds available for and used in day-to-day operations.
Investment - Funds available for and used in day-to-day operations as specified by the
Museum's Board of Trustees.
Acquisition - Funds to be used as specified by the Museum’s Board of Trustees for the
acquisition of collections, library materials, birds, and capital items
Temporarily Restricted Net Assets - Represents resources subject to donor-imposed
stipulations that may, or will be met, either by actions of the Museum, and/or the passage
of time. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets ate reclassified to
unrestricted net assets and are reported in the statement of activities as assets released
from restrictions.
Contributions
Contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are recognized when made. All
contributions are available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor.
Contributions restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the
restrictions expire in the fiscal year in which the contributions are recognized. Alll other donor-
restricted contributions are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net
assets depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, temporarily
restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets,‘TRUSTEES OF THE BERKSHIRE MUSEUM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
JUNE 30, 2006
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Museum considers short-term, highly liquid
investments that have original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
Investments
‘The Museum accounts for investments in accordance with SFAS 124, Accounting for Certain
Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS 124, investments in marketable
securities with readily determinable fair values and all investment in debt securities are reported
at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Fair value is determined by using
quoted market prices, where available, Where not available, another reasonable method is used
Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets.
Sce Note 2 for additional information related to investments
Financial Instruments
‘The carrying amount for cash and short-term
vestments approximates fair value because of the
short term maturities of those investments.
The fair values of some long-term investments are estimated based on quoted market prices for
those or similar investments.
Allowance for Bad Debts
The Museum uses the allowance method to determine uncollectible accounts receivable.
Management believes all receivables at June 30, 2006 to be collectible.
Invento
Inventories, consisting of general shop merchandise, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
out method) or market value.
Property and Equipment
Amounts expended for equipment or other capital additions utilized in carrying out the Museum's
activities and having an original cost of $300 or more are capitalized at cost. Depreciation
expense is computed using the straight-line method in a manner that is intended to amortize the
cost of such assets over their estimated useful lives.‘TRUSTEES OF THE BERKSHIRE MUSEUM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,

‘SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Advert
ig
The Museum follows a policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred
Advertising expense was $97,712 and $149,283 for 2006 and 2005 respectively.
Donated Services and Mater
Is
A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to
development of all the Museum's programs. ‘The value of this contributed time is not reflected in
these statements since the criteria for recognition under SAS No, 116 have not been satisfied.
Contributions of donated non-cash assets are recorded at their fair values in the period received.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the value of donated materials amounted to
$26,800 and $55,850 respectively. The value of donated services amounted to $2,573 and $580
for fiscal years ended 2006 and 2005 respectively and included professional services used for
administrative purposes.
Pledges
Unconditional promises to give (pledges) are recorded as received. Unconditional promises to
give due in the next fiscal year are reflected as current promises to give and are recorded at their
net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give due afier one year are reflected as long-term
promises to give and are recorded at their net realizable present values. An allowance for
uncollectible promises is provided based on management's evaluation of potential uncollectible
promises receivable. Management believes that all amounts will be received when due, therefore
no allowance for uncollectible pledges has been provided.
‘See Note 3 for additional information related to Pledges Receivable
Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation represents an insurance contract purchased in 1991 for an active
employee. Upon retirement, disability or death, title to the annuity contract will transfer to the
employee or his designated beneficiaries. Accordingly, the Museuin has recorded an asset and @
related liability for the fair value of the insurance contract
Comparative Totals
The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized, comparative information. Such
information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in
conjunction with the Museum’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005, from
Which the summarized information was derived.
Reelassifications
Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes to conform to the presentation in the current-year financial statements.
