We were not without our challenges as the difficult economy persisted, and Mother Nature delivered most unusual conditions. Despite all, and with growing member support, we fared better than most against extreme heat, cold, and drought, and most importantly, we were able to exceed our financial objectives for the year. Following the large Aquatics project of 2009, we focused on rebuilding our cash reserves and adapting operations to succeed despite a still-sluggish economy. With a keen eye on spending, and growing member support, we were able to deliver a favorable operating variance for 2010 and stronger cash reserves than had been budgeted. I do not use the word reserve casually as your Board has renewed its focus on planning for our future. We have a significant physical plant, and each day is another day of wear which brings us closer to needed replacements. In order to ensure that our actions today complement the future needs of our club, a Special Financial Study Committee was formed this year under the leadership of Thomas N. Chewning. This committee is composed of both Board members and members at large. They are meeting with staff to better understand the finances of our club and to evaluate current fiscal policies against future needs. Ultimately, we are looking for ways to establish reserves today that will ensure our viability in the future. For 2010, I would direct your attention to the various committee reports that detail the many successes and challenges of the year. Personally, I was very excited to see the levels of member support in all areas of the club. I can’t say that we broke records in all areas, but the usage was strong, and a pleasant surprise considering the economy and weather. We are currently taking a cautious approach to any new capital spending, focusing mainly on maintaining what we have in place. The one exception for 2011 is the reestablishment of a golf shop and range operations center at Westhampton. This addition has been long planned and should be ready for the 2011 golfing season. As we close 2010, it is important to once again acknowledge the partnership we hold with our “platinum” staff in orchestrating the successes we enjoy as members of a platinum club. Under the leadership of William C. “Skip” Harris, our staff is ever focused on continuous improvement and delighting us all with heightened levels of excellence. A big thank you also goes to our Board of Directors and to our Advisory Committees for their long hours and tireless efforts on behalf of us all. And thanks to every one of you for your support and enthusiasm for The Country Club of Virginia. Robert E. Leitch, Jr., President 5 Finance Report The fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, saw further strengthening of the Club’s already sound financial position. Year-end total assets stood at $56.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 3.2% over September 2009. Net equity was $46.3 million, up $2.4 million, or 5.4% over the prior year. Book value per share of stock increased to $38,569 as compared to $36,607 at September 30, 2009. During 2010, we invested $2.4 million in capital improvements versus $10.6 million in 2009. Our cash balances increased by $2.8 million during the year as we began replenishing our cash reserves after completing the new Aquatics Center. Looking ahead to 2011, we are in the process of replacing our golf shop and range operations center at Westhampton and plan to continue building our cash reserves. This and other ongoing capital improvements are long-term investments toward keeping our facilities in first-rate condition. We continue to provide such improvements without assessments to the membership. The Club’s newly formed Special Financial Study Committee has been working to ensure that our future financial outlook will be as strong as our past. Operations proved successful in 2010 with increased participation in most areas. Despite the downturn in the economy and the challenging weather, the Club did well as a result of this high utilization by our members. In addition, a strong flow of new member nominations allowed us to sustain membership totals at traditional historic levels. The Executive/Finance Committee remains committed to maintaining the strong overall financial condition that will provide the resources necessary for the future and for maintaining the traditions of excellence expected at The Country Club of Virginia. All financial plans, including operating budgets and capital projects, are reviewed and approved by the full Board considering the guidance established under the Club’s strategic plan. The Committee wishes to thank its fellow Board members, and especially the Club’s Executive Director of Finance, Angie Stewart, and her staff for their hard work and dedication in making this another very successful year for The Country Club of Virginia. Edmund L. Benson, III, Treasurer 6 House Report With 2010 being another year of national economic uncertainty, Clubhouse Operations concentrated its efforts on creating and offering events, products, and services at a higher level than ever, with value at the forefront. With tradition and creativity in mind, we are working to brand the James River Clubhouse as our “River Home.” Our culinary and service teams have gone the extra mile to display their talents with quality and value-oriented promotions. The positive membership response to these initiatives was confirmed by participation levels and the numerous perfect comments cards. In addition, our Executive Chef, Gary Whitecotton, created our first “Heritage Garden” near the farmhouse at Tuckahoe Creek. The harvest of his hard work has been used in most of the restaurants and snack bars at CCV–freshness, quality, and value at their best. The Grill and the Poolside Café were the places for members to be and be seen. Yearround, The Grill welcomed family members of all ages who enjoyed specials, promotions, entertainment, and delicious seasonal menu favorites. Our 2-for-1 hamburger nights continued to be the most valued promotion. As with all promotions, we offered highquality products and good pricing with delivery by a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our Banquet department was the most affected by the national economic downturn; however, working with staff and Board members, we were able to individually reach out to the membership and develop new opportunities for the coming year. We were also successful in offering member events of high interest and great value, such as the Fall Festival & Art Show, a trip to the “Wicked” performance at the Landmark Theatre, and a “Love the Pearls” luncheon, to name a few. Our premier dining destination, Ollie’s, continues to be a prime choice to enjoy the Club social scene. With a creative wine list, extensive cocktail selection, and prime beers matched with avant-garde cuisine, Ollie’s outdoes its fierce competitors in the Richmond area in ambiance, value, and quality. Quality and value do not stop at the dining table! Our thanks go to the Building Services department for maintaining and protecting the assets of CCV, to the Housekeeping department for keeping all areas of the Club in platinum condition, and to our Security and Valet departments for providing those much-appreciated warm welcomes and fond farewells. The Food and Beverage Advisory Committee worked closely with the staff and this committee to ensure that each segment of our membership was heard and received the quality and value experience so desired in all of our dining outlets. We acknowledge Yvan Lampron, Executive Director of Clubhouse Operations, for his leadership and dedication to platinum service in all areas of Clubhouse Operations. We look positively and cautiously upon the future and will continue with the same philosophy, “quality and value for our membership.” As always, we encourage the members to use the Club to the fullest extent possible and to feel free to share experiences with the House and Advisory Committees or staff.

Weekend rain, cold temperatures, large amounts of lingering snow, and all-time record heat all impacted the golf season and our courses. In spite of the challenges from Mother Nature, the Golf Maintenance, Grounds Maintenance, and Golf Professional departments were able to complete many projects, conduct quite a few fun events, and plan for a new golf shop at Westhampton. The Tuckahoe Creek and James River courses reached new levels as golfers enjoyed terrific playing conditions. The Westhampton course was also in great shape for most of the year, although by August the old, soil greens started to show the impact of the extreme heat. We decided to close the course for several weeks after Labor Day to allow the greens to recover. The severe weather highlighted the need for ongoing improvements to the infrastructure of our courses and the growing environments impacting all of our putting surfaces. Several projects were also completed on our courses, including modifications to the bunkering on 18 at Westhampton, the installation of additional low-maintenance grass areas at Tuckahoe Creek, and the removal of Vamont Bermudagrass contamination in James River’s TifSport fairways. The presentation of our Grounds reached new heights, and appreciative members enjoyed the bright displays of seasonal color throughout the year. Areas with older planting material were renovated and the increased attention to detail was evident to all. The professional staff focused on engaging the membership and developing new golfers through a comprehensive schedule of fun events and creative programs. The Junior Golf program and Occasional Golfer initiative continued to have strong participation, and many new players were introduced to the game. The most exciting news of the year was the approval of the new Westhampton Golf buildings, which are scheduled to open in the spring of 2011. CCV also successfully hosted several significant outside events, including the Senior Open of Virginia, VSGA Senior Amateur, RWGA Bun Wyatt Tournament, and the MAPGA Women’s Championship. The participants overwhelmingly responded with appreciation for the high level of service provided by our staff and the terrific playing conditions on our courses. We thank Richard Cromwell, Executive Director of Golf, for his leadership of our Golf programs during 2010, and Christian Sain, Director of Golf Course Maintenance, for his very capable care of our premier golf courses. We thank you for your support and look forward to a great golfing year in 2011. Thomas M. Parrish, Chairman Edmund L. Benson, III Eugene M. Desvernine Harley W. Duane, III William H. King, Jr. John H. Woodfin Elizabeth D. Wright 8 Racquet Sports Report Racquet Sports faced a number of challenges in 2010. With the challenges came opportunities and innovative ways of providing service and doing business. Extreme temperatures were foremost of these challenges, and tennis players found creative ways to deal with the heat. Players utilized early and late court times to escape the hottest parts of the day. In spite of the record temperatures, participation was strong. League play was especially popular, as membership joined in several new USTA Adult Leagues, and the Club continued to field the highest number of teams and players in Ladies’ Suburban League. Wear and tear is part of any strenuous physical activity, and racquet sports are no different. Staff dealt with some of the physical setbacks associated with our sports, and still managed to provide a platinum level of accommodation through teamwork and creative use of personnel. Instructional programs were well attended in spite of high temperatures and an uncertain market. The professional staff made every effort to satisfy interest and find new business. Early Morning Tennis (EMT) engaged the high-performance juniors before school. Special clinics were offered for high school tryouts. Professionals ran Quickstart Tennis, an innovative system for entry-level juniors. Squash growth continued. Competition for court time increased and prompted modifications within the Richmond Area Team Squash League. Junior camps were very popular, and many new players were introduced to the game. Ladies were more visible on the squash courts, including new leagues. Platform tennis saw a boost in activity with a new in-house league. Established players helped new players in a team setting, and participation rose in spite of a particularly cold and snowy winter. Our new Outdoor Heritage program realized significant growth. In addition to the Fly-casting and Fly-fishing parts of the program, members took advantage of Boat Safety certification courses in record numbers. A Dock Master program was initiated, providing service to the Boat Landing. Laser sporting clays were tested, received very positive exposure, and were offered to the Club as an experimental program. Racquet Sports continues to enjoy an energetic, welcoming atmosphere. The staff concentrates on traditional service with emphases on etiquette and discipline, while looking for new offerings for our members. The Advisory Committees supply valuable feedback, and the Racquet Sports Committee maintains a steady guidance of the program. Under the leadership of Tom Wallace and his dedicated staff, Racquet Sports at CCV is well prepared to face the challenges of the future, and to make the most of their opportunities. John H. Woodfin, Chairman Thomas N. Chewning Barbour T. Farinholt Lawrence L. Gray Frances S. Powell Margaret W. Talman 9 Athletics Report The year began as the previous year ended, with the membership still abuzz over the new pool complex, as well as the additional equipment in the Fitness Center. Participation continued to be strong in all areas–Fitness, Youth, and Aquatics. An unusually bitter winter and early spring strained the capacity of the Fitness Center. Front desk computer check-in at the Aquatics facility and the Fitness Center produced accurate counts of member usage. The Athletics department participated in the Club’s first Family Sportsfest held in February. Along with Golf and Racquet Sports, our Youth and Fitness departments provided samplings of activities and complimentary prizes to attendees. Family Sportsfest targeted all ages, giving all departments the opportunity to encourage increased member participation. In the Youth department, summer camps continued to be well-attended. Programming and activities were offered to youth of all ages. The Recreational Play Center, while supporting other Club activities, experienced a year of bustling activity. Our youth activities continued to be a positive draw for prospective members. With a record number of days well in to the 100-degree range, activity at the pool, while not as intense as last year, still was vibrant. The Devilfish swim and dive teams’ participation continued to grow. The swim team had a record number of mite swimmers (6–8 years of age) with 80 children in this category registered. In comparison, CCV competes against entire teams that have only slightly more than this number. The dive team also had a rebirth in participation and did well enough during competition to move to the upper division next year. For our polar bears and adult swimmers, a Master’s swim program and swim clinics were provided to help swim stroke development. The Boat Landing’s storage area was regraded and enlarged over the winter. Now boaters can pull their boats through when parking–certainly a pleasant convenience! Our new Sporting Clays program is off to a fast start with promotions in the works to encourage even more usage. The strength of successful programming in Fitness, Youth, and Aquatics should be credited to our creative and hard-working family of employees. In addition, a special recognition goes to members of the Boat Landing, Fitness, and Aquatics & Youth Advisory Committees who, as users of the various activities, provide invaluable feedback and program development; and special recognition must also go to our Executive Director of Athletics, Charlotte Wright, for her leadership in guiding us through another exciting year.

Powell 10 Membership Report With the election of 30 Active male members and 14 Spouse Active members, in addition to 217 members from the other membership categories, the Membership Committee had another very busy year. Each member of the Board diligently met new nominees and continued to be impressed with the strength of the candidates. The Committee dealt with issues such as transfer of membership among categories, reinstatement of members, and updating the Club’s records concerning members and their families. The philosophy of the Committee has been to deal fairly and even-handedly with all members of the Club, and when possible, to support members who brought their problems to the Committee. The Committee could not always accommodate each request because it would violate the Constitution or Bylaws of the Club, but, in all cases, the Committee sought to communicate its decisions to the members along with the rationale. Without compromise, the Committee enforced the Club’s rules for paying bills; and the membership, with few exceptions, paid their accounts in a timely fashion.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Club’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 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 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 Country Club of Virginia, Incorporated as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its stockholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of activities: The Country Club of Virginia, Incorporated, (the Club) is a membership organization providing social and recreational facilities for its members. The significant accounting policies followed by the Club are described below: Basis of accounting: The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Revenue received which relates to future periods is recorded as deferred revenue. Expenses paid which relate to future periods are recorded as prepaid expenses. Accounting Standards Codification: The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) has become FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to all non-governmental entities, superseding all prior FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and related literature. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Basis of presentation: The Club, a not-for-profit organization, follows the requirements of ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, in its financial statement presentation. Under ASC 958, the Club is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. For the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Club had no temporarily or permanently restricted net assets. Additionally, expenses are required to be classified by functional activities (Note 8). 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Club considers all cash accounts and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Inventories: Inventories consisting of food, beverage, and other items are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method to determine food and beverage costs and the average cost method to determine the cost of golf and tennis pro shop merchandise. Investments: Equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of activities. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined using the specific-identification method. Generally, the fair value of investments is estimated using quoted market prices. See Note 5 for fair value measurements. Concentration of credit risk: The Club maintains its cash investments in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Club has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and temporary cash investments. The Club invests in a professionally managed portfolio that contains common shares and bonds of publicly traded companies, U.S. obligations, mutual funds and money market funds. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with such investments and the uncertainty related to changes in the value of such investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect investment balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Depreciation is not computed on land and golf courses. Years Estimated lives are as follows: Other sports facilities and outside improvements Buildings and improvements Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3–40 7–35 3–12 17 The Country Club of Virginia, Incorporated Notes to Financial Statements Note 1. Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Valuation of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the longlived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Board designated net assets: The Club’s Board of Directors has designated for reserves net assets in the amounts of ($1,092,664) and ($1,373,859) as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Revenue recognition: Membership dues are recognized ratably over the membership period to which they relate. Revenue from the members for use of the facilities or purchases of club merchandise is recognized when the sale is consummated. Income tax status: The Club is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code but is subject to tax on unrelated business income as defined by the Code. The provisions for income tax expense recorded in the financial statements for 2010 and 2009 are $1,543 and $20,583, respectively. On October 1, 2009, the Club adopted new guidance on how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the Club’s financial statements. Under the guidance, the Club may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, guidance is provided on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Management has evaluated the Club’s tax positions and has concluded that the Club has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The Club files tax returns with U.S. federal and Virginia tax authorities in which the statute of limitations may go back to the tax year ended September 30, 2007. Initiation fees: Member initiation fees are recognized and due upon acceptance by the Club as a member. Certain eligible members may elect to pay their initiation fees on an installment basis. Notes representing their installment payments are presented in the financial statements net of imputed interest. Pension benefits: The Club has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. Benefits are based on years of service and compensation. The Club’s funding policy is to make the minimum annual contribution that is required by applicable regulations, plus such amounts as the Club may determine to be appropriate from time to time. In addition, the Club has agreements with certain employees to provide supplemental retirement benefits (deferred compensation) after termination of employment because of retirement or death. Certain investments included in the Club’s assets have been designated as being held to fund these supplemental benefits. Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported income. New accounting standards: FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, amended ASC 820, having significant impact on investment disclosures effective for years ending after June 15, 2009. It requires disclosure of inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, and includes guidance on determining the major security type (“category”) for debt and equity securities required to be disclosed on the basis of “nature and risks” of the investments. See Note 5 for the impact of adoption. Subsequent events: The Club has evaluated whether any subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have taken place through the date these financial statements were issued (November 8, 2010). The Club has determined that there are no such subsequent events to report. 18 The Country Club of Virginia, Incorporated Notes to Financial Statements Note 2.

Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets or liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. Classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy considers the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability and transparency of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The levels of the hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are defined as follows: Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Club has the ability to access. Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or correlation by other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy for the asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value: Common stocks, corporate bonds and U.S. government securities: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. 19 The Country Club of Virginia, Incorporated Notes to Financial Statements Note 5. Fair Value Measurements (continued) The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Club believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Club’s assets at fair value: Description Sept. 30, 2010 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents $157,263 $157,263 $– $– Fixed income obligations Domestic 675,805 675,805–– International 77,455 77,455–– Common stocks Domestic 915,342915,342–– International 411,402 411,402–– Other – ––– Total $2,237,267 $2,237,267 $ – $– Note 6.

The plan provides 100% vesting to employees, 21 years of age or older, who have completed five years of continuous service. Deferred compensation plan: The Club has a noncontributory deferred compensation plan. Eligibility for membership in this plan is determined by the Board of Directors. Defined benefit and post-retirement plan accounting: Topic 715 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires the Club to (a) recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit post-retirement plan (benefit plan or plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income (for a business entity) or changes in unrestricted net assets (for a not-for-profit organization) in the year in which the changes occur, and (b) measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. These standards apply to plan sponsors that are public and private companies and nongovernmental not-for-profit organizations. The investment objective of the plans is to produce a rate of return over the long term that will provide for fund growth, curb against the effect of inflation, and provide for stability in different market environments. The fund is diversified between fixed income and equity investments. With this diversification and investment in broader market funds, there is reasonable assurance that no single security or class of securities will have a disproportionate impact on the plan assets. The overall long-term rate of return was developed by estimating the long-term rate of return for the defined benefit pension plan’s asset mix, while taking into account the effects of inflation. The following table summarizes the benefit obligation, fair value of assets, and funded status in the Club’s financial statements based on a measurement date of September 30: Defined Benefit Pension Plan Deferred Compensation Plan 20102009 20102009 Amounts as of September 30: Projected benefit obligation................................................$6,630,004 $5,968,043 $2,807,763 $2,887,466 Fair value of plan assets....................................................... 3,614,6372,979,169 – – Funded status (plan assets less projected benefit obligation)...............................................$(3,015,367) $(2,988,874) $(2,807,763) $(2,887,466) Accumulated benefit obligation..........................................$5,512,265$ 4,628,978 20 $2,383,693$ 2,121,002 The Country Club of Virginia, Incorporated Notes to Financial Statements Note 6.

The plan allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their pretax or after-tax annual compensation as defined in the plan. Such deferrals accumulate on a tax-deferred basis until the employee withdraws the funds. The Club, at its option, may match a portion of the employees’ contribution up to 100% of the deferred compensation of eligible employees. The Club may also make discretionary contributions to the plan. There were no matching or discretionary contributions made by the Club during the years ending September 30, 2010 and 2009. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Club has entered into a consulting agreement with a member of management, which among other things, provides for post-retirement medical benefits. See related party footnote (Note 10). Note 7. The Club has a line of credit, expiring December 31, 2010, with a total available balance of $1,500,000. There were no borrowings on the line of credit during the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Interest accrues at a rate of 3% or LIBOR plus 2.3%, whichever is greater. Note 8. Commitments Functional Activities The Club is required to report its activities on a functional basis.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation Effective October 1, 2005, the Club recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to the estimated cost to remove asbestos from Club facilities. The future value of the asset retirement obligation at September 30, 2046, is estimated to be approximately $211,214. The liability was estimated using an inflation rate of 3.8%. As subsequent accounting pronouncements require retrospective application to the inception of the liability, the initial asset retirement obligation was calculated using a discount rate of 5.8%. The following table summarizes the impact as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively: 2010 2009 Beginning balance....................................................................................................................$48,782 $46,108 Accretion expense recognized................................................................................................. 2,8292,674 Ending balance........................................................................................................................$51,611 $ 48,782 Note 10. Related parties In 2007, the Club entered into a consulting agreement with a member of management. The term of the agreement begins upon the manager’s retirement and will remain in effect for five years. As part of the agreement, the Club will provide post-employment medical benefits for the manager and his spouse.
