INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 
To the Members
Woodstock Hills, LLC

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Woodstock Hills, LLC (a Limited Liability Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of income, membership capital, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Woodstock Hills, LLC as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WOODSTOCK HILLS, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Woodstock Hills, LLC was formed to construct and operate a 10.2-megawatt wind powered electric generating facility.  This facility consists of seventeen wind turbines constructed on the Buffalo Ridge in Pipestone County, Minnesota.  The long-term operation and profitability of the LLC is highly dependent on the amount of wind in the area of the facility.  All electricity produced by the wind farm is sold to Xcel Energy and the LLC is economically dependent on Xcel Energy.

 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The LLC uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements.

 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
For the purposes of presenting cash flows, investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
The LLC grants credit, in the normal course of business, to Xcel Energy.  The LLC generally extends credit on an unsecured basis.  An account is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the LLC will be unable to collect the balance due.  The LLC does not have any accounts receivable balances that are greater than 30 days past due.
 
 
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
 
No allowance for bad debts is computed because it is reasonably expected that all accounts receivable will be collectible.  In the event that the receivable becomes uncollectible as determined by management, it is the LLC’s policy to use the direct write-off method to record the bad debt.
 
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The LLC recognizes and records revenues when earned.
 
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed currently.  When items are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation of such items are removed from the accounts.  Gains and losses from the sale or abandonment of such items are realized in the period in which the disposal occurred.

 
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 20 years.
 
 
FINANCING COSTS
 
Costs associated with the First Farmers & Merchants National Bank financing are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the term loan, which is 5 years.  Amortization began December 15, 2010.
 
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The LLC is organized as a limited liability company under the state of Delaware statutes.  This type of organization is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes.  Under these provisions of partnership taxation, the LLC’s members are taxed individually on their share of the LLC’s net income or loss.  The allocation of net income or loss and tax credits is based upon the allocation percentages in the Limited Liability Company Agreement.

1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
 
INCOME TAXES (Cont’d)
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax effects of any uncertain tax positions it may adopt, if the position taken is more likely than not sustainable.  If a tax position meets such criteria, the tax effect to be recognized by the Company would be the largest amount of benefit with more than a 50% chance of being realized upon settlement.  The Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions adopted that meet this criteria.  Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the current year and two preceding years.
 
 
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
 
As a limited liability company, each member’s liability is limited to amounts reflected in their respective member accounts plus any debt for which a personal guarantee has been given.
 
 
CREDIT RISK
 
The LLC maintains bank deposits, which may be at times in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  A potential loss exposure exists to the extent of any deposits in excess of federally insured limits.

 
The LLC grants credit to Xcel Energy on an unsecured basis.

 
PRODUCTION TAX
 
Pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statute 272.029, the LLC is required to pay the Wind Energy Production Tax.  The production tax paid is .036% of the previous year’s production and is due on or before May 15th to the Treasurer of the county in which the turbine is located.
 
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The carrying amount of the LLC’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.  The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value due to the inability of the notes to trade in an outside market, and their stated interest rates approximating market rates.

LONG-TERM DEBT (Cont’d)
 
The LLC pays a quarterly fee to the First Farmers & Merchants National Bank to provide a $500,000 letter of credit to Northern States Power or its assignees.  This $500,000 payment reserve is to be funded over time with an initial deposit of $50,000 made on December 17, 2010 and minimum payments of $28,125 per quarter with the first payment to be made on April 1, 2012.   This letter of credit assures that the LLC will comply with the terms of the Power Purchase Agreement.  The letter of credit can be drawn upon if there is a default in the Power Purchase Agreement.
 
The LLC pays a quarterly fee to the First Farmers & Merchants National Bank to provide a $255,000 letter of credit to Northern States Power or its assignees.  This $255,000 payment reserve is to be funded over time with minimum payments of $12,750 per quarter with the first payment to be made on April 1, 2011.   This letter of credit assures that the LLC will comply with the terms of the Power Purchase Agreement.  The letter of credit can be drawn upon if there is a default in the Power Purchase Agreement.

5.
WIND GENERATION PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
The LLC has assumed a wind generation purchase agreement with Xcel Energy, whereby Xcel Energy agrees to purchase and the LLC agrees to sell all the electricity produced by the facility at a predetermined guaranteed price through April 30, 2035. The guaranteed price per megawatt hour varies from year to year, with a first year price of $48.25 per megawatt hour declining to $15.98 by year 2021 and then rising again to $25.31 by year 2034.
 
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles revenue levelization is required whenever there is a variable de-escalating pricing power purchase agreement as detailed above.  This requires that the revenue be levelized over the term of the agreement.  The revenue recognized is the lesser of the amount billable under the contract, or the amount determined by the megawatt hours made available during the period multiplied by the average revenue per megawatt hour over the life of the power purchase agreement.  This calculation is made annually based on the cumulative amounts that would have been recognized had each method been consistently applied from the beginning of the contract term.
 
Revenue deferred under this calculation at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $3,746,964 and $3,534,320, respectively.

UNASSSERTED CLAIMS AND ASSESSMENTS
 
Woodstock Hills, LLC is party to a power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with Northern States Power Company (“NSP”) pursuant to which the LLC sells capacity and energy produced by its wind energy conversion facility to NSP.  The PPA contains no provisions addressing the existence or ownership of renewable energy credits or similar intangible environmental attributes created by the LLC’s generation of electricity using renewable energy sources.  NSP and the LLC disagree as to who owns such attributes produced by the LLC, and it is expected that NSP will, in some fashion, assert a formal claim for the attributes.  If NSP were to do so and prevailed on the claim, there would be no monetary payment or other cost to the LLC as a result; NSP’s entitlement to the attributes would merely be confirmed.  If the LLC was to prevail, the LLC would be able to sell the attributes in the market and increase it revenues and income accordingly.
 
9.
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
At the time the turbines are retired or end of the land lease, the LLC has an obligation to restore the real estate to its original condition prior to the land lease agreement.  This includes removal of all personal property and concrete foundations.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, an estimated fair value of this obligation was undeterminable.  It is, however, reasonably certain the salvage value of the scrap metal from the wind turbines would cover any expenses for restoration of the real estate.
  
10.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Management has evaluated subsequent events through April 22, 2011 for potential disclosure.  This is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
 
Juhl Wind, Inc. is in the process of purchasing all of the wind farm assets of the LLC by buying the ownership interests of Mission Funding Zeta and Heller Financial, Inc.   As of the date of this report the transaction has not been completed.  The majority of the stock of Juhl Wind, Inc. is owned by Daniel Juhl, related party of the LLC.
 
The LLC amended its Service and Maintenance Agreement with Juhl Energy Services, Inc. effective February 10, 2011.  The agreement calls for an automatic renewal on each anniversary date with an annual fee of $15,125 per wind turbine per year payable in advance.  This annual fee is increased annually by the rate of inflation.

GOING-CONCERN
 
The LLC incurred a net loss during the current and previous year.  In addition, continued decreases in cash and cash equivalents resulted in negative working capital for the current and previous year.  The trend of continued net loss and decrease in cash and cash equivalents indicates that there may be a concern as to whether the LLC can meet required financial obligations during the next year.
 
Management has recognized the weak financial condition of the LLC and restructured the LLC’s debt during the current year.  It appears that based on projected revenues for the LLC and the restructured debt, it should be able to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months.
 
12.
CHANGE IN ESTIMATE
 
Prior to January 1, 2010, the turbine assets had an estimated useful life of 30 years and were depreciated over that life.  However, on January 1, 2010, management determined that the useful life of the turbines was 20 years and changed the depreciation to be calculated over 20 years rather than 30 years.  The turbine assets are to be fully depreciated at December 31, 2018.  The useful life change was considered a change in an estimate with the change going forward only.  This change in estimate affects the net income of future periods.
 
This change in estimate decreases the current year net income as follows:
 
 
 
30 Years
 
 
20 Years

Decrease
 
 
$ 392,670
 
$ 561,671

LOSS FROM ASSET IMPAIRMENT
 
During 2009, the LLC recorded an asset impairment loss on its wind turbines.  This equipment had a significantly reduced value due to the fact that the LLC has a fixed power purchase contract to sell its future power (see Note 5).  The December 31, 2009 book value of the wind turbines was reduced to the future expected cash flows of the LLC until 2019 when the LLC is projected to have a permanently negative cash flow from operations, plus any amount of deferred revenue associated with the wind turbines.  The resulting loss of $2,545,650 was charged to 2009 operating expenses on the income statement. The remaining valuation ascribed to the wind turbines as of December 31, 2009 was $5,055,040.
