REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Stockholders and Board of Directors
WestMountain Alternative Energy, Inc.
Fort Collins, Colorado


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WestMountain Alternative Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended.  The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Financial Statements


1)    Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Organization and Basis of Presentation

WestMountain Alternative Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Colorado on November 13, 2007 and on this date approved its business plan and commenced operations. The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were no cash equivalents. 
  
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the management fees. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. Management records reasonable allowances to fairly represent accounts receivable amounts that are collectable.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not consider an allowance for doubtful accounts necessary.

Revenue
The Company generates revenue by earning consulting fees and raising, investing and managing private equity and direct investment funds for high net worth individuals and institutions. Revenue is recognized through management fees based on the size of the funds that are managed and incentive income based on the performance of these funds.

Incentive revenue is recognized under the full accrual method. Under the full accrual method, profit may be realized in full when funds are invested and managed, provided (1) the profit is determinable and (2) the earnings process is virtually complete (the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and accrued liabilities, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing property and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statements of operations.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Considerable judgment is required in determining when these events may occur and whether recovery of an asset, including the utilization of a net operating loss or other carryforward prior to its expiration, is more likely than not.

Notes to the Financial Statements
 

 
(1)    Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Colorado as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined.  The tax years 2007-2012 remain open to examination.  We are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction.  The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. 
 
Fiscal Year-end
The Company operates on a December 31 year-end.

Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the auditors’ report date, which is the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

 
(2)   Certificates of Deposit
 
The Company has made it a policy to invest funds over and above the forecasted operating expenses in certificates of deposit.  Certificate of deposits typically have contractual maturities of 90-180 days.

 
(3)  Property and Equipment

The Company’s property and equipment consists of a computer and related software.  For the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company recorded $-0- in depreciation expense and $219 for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, property and equipment has been fully depreciated.
