ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010
The mission of the United States Air Force is to

fl y, fi ght and win...in air, space and cyberspace
1

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

Vision

The United States Air Force will be a trusted and reliable

joint partner with our sister services known for integrity 

in all of our activities, including supporting the joint 

mission fi rst and foremost. We will provide compelling

air, space, and cyber capabilities for use by the combatant 

commanders. We will excel as stewards of all Air Force 

resources in service to the American people, while 

providing precise and reliable Global Vigilance, Reach and 

Power for the nation.

The Air Force has three core competencies: Developing 

Airmen, Technology-to-Warfi ghting and Integrating 

Operations. These core competencies make our six

distinctive capabilities possible:

Air and Space Superiority: With it, joint forces can 

dominate enemy operations in all dimensions -- land, sea, 

air and space.

Global Attack: Because of technological advances,

the Air Force can attack anywhere, anytime -- and do so

quickly and with greater precision than ever before.

Rapid Global Mobility: Being able to respond 

quickly and decisively anywhere we’re needed is key to 

maintaining rapid global mobility.

Precision Engagement: The essence lies in the ability to 

apply selective force against specifi c targets because the

nature and variety of future contingencies demand both

precise and reliable use of military power with minimal risk 

and collateral damage.

Information Superiority: The ability of joint force 

commanders to keep pace with information and incorporate 

it into a campaign plan is crucial. 

Agile Combat Support: Deployment and sustainment 

are keys to successful operations and cannot be separated. 

Agile combat support applies to all forces, from 

those permanently based to contingency buildups to 

expeditionary forces.

Our Core Values are:

➢ Integrity First

➢ Service Before Self

➢ Excellence in All That We Do

Air Force in Action—FY 2010 

During the past year, the Air Force has continued to support 

the ongoing confl icts in Afghanistan and Iraq along with

our Joint and Coalition partners. We have seen a transition 

from operations in Iraq, to surge operations in Afghanistan. 

At the end of 2009 we had 9,800 Airmen in Iraq and 

7,600 in Afghanistan. Today, Iraq is already down to 

7,300 Airmen and continues to lower, while nearly 10,000

Airmen are on the ground in Afghanistan. Our Airmen

continue to proudly serve their nation and consistently

exhibit an unwavering commitment to fulfi lling the needs

of global Air Force operations. Our Leadership priorities

relating to organizing, training and equipping Airmen 

to meet the needs of our nation continue to be achieved. 

These priorities include the following:

➢ Continue to Strengthen the Nuclear Enterprise

➢ Partner with the Joint and Coalition Team

to Win Today‘s Fight 

➢ Develop and Care for Airmen and Their Families

➢ Modernize Air and Space Inventories, 

Organizations and Training

➢ Recapture Acquisition Excellence

Continue to Strengthen the Nuclear Enterprise

FY 2010 provided opportunities to continue to strengthen 

the nuclear enterprise, to be used as a primary deterrent 

to nuclear attack. The Nuclear Triad – the ability to 

deliver a nuclear attack by land, by sea, or by air –

remains a cornerstone of strategic deterrence, and the

Air Force provides two of the three critical components 

for the Nation‘s nuclear Triad: nuclear bombers and

intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Air Force 

nuclear bombers, including the B-2A (Spirit) and B-52H

(Stratofortress), as well as ICBMs (Minuteman III),

C2 platforms, dual capable fi ghter aircraft, and early 

warning systems are all critical components of the nuclear

enterprise.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2

Partner with the Joint and Coalition Team

to Win Today‘s Fight

The Air Force remains committed, fi rst and foremost, to 

providing the Joint warfi ghter Global Vigilance, Reach

and Power to win today‘s fi ght and is prepared to act in

both “supporting” and “supported” roles as dictated by

the objectives of the Joint or combined commanders. In

order to strengthen our partnerships around the globe, 

Airmen are working to build indigenous self-sustainable

capabilities in Afghanistan and Iraq, playing a critical

role in fi ghting terrorism and supporting the CENTCOM

mission. Nearly 40,000 Airmen (Active, Guard, Reserve

and Civilian) are deployed to 263 locations across the 

globe, including 63 locations in the Middle East. At home,

the Air Force supports 130,000 Airmen who contribute to

the efforts in theater through unmanned aerial surveillance, 

air sovereignty alert, space and intelligence operations and 

strategic deterrence. 

Develop and Care for Airmen and Their Families 

Taking care of Airmen and their families underpins the

work of all Air Force core functions and is crucial to

success. In this the year of the Air Force Family signifi cant 

emphasis was placed on the four important areas of concern

for Air Force families: affordable and available family

housing, safe schools that challenge and prepare children

for the future, accessible and quality medical care for Air

Force families, and quality childcare. For single Airmen,

who make up 40 percent of the force, the Air Force focused 

on their unique requirements for dormitories and (morale,

welfare and recreation) services that offer fulfi lling off-duty 

activities. The Air Force family is dynamic and diverse,

made up of active duty, Reserve and Guard component 

members; offi cer and enlisted, civilians, spouses and 

children and that it also extends to parents, friends and 

community partners who support Airmen.

Modernize Air and Space Inventories, Organizations

and Training 

The National Defense Strategy depends on the Air Force

to provide a dominant and decisive edge for Joint and 

Coalition military operations. Our ability as a nation to 

win the war in air, space and cyberspace is a fundamental 

principle of the Air Force. As the United States and our

allies adapt and evolve to defend against an ever-changing

enemy, the Air Force must maintain a comprehensive set 

of capabilities, organizations, personnel, and equipment--

available to national leaders and Joint Force Commanders.

This must include not only modernizing military 

capabilities through the replacement of older systems, but 

extending the life of aging systems via refurbishment.

Recapture Acquisition Excellence

In order to meet the needs of the Air Force during 

unprecedented times in which security is at an all time high,

special emphasis was placed on recapturing acquisition

excellence, providing extended operational lifetimes of air

and space systems. The two-fold approach of including 

acquisition excellence in the current Strategic Plan, and 

creating the 2009 Acquisition Improvement Plan allowed 

us to:

➢ Rebuild and Shape the Acquisition Workforce/

Revitalize the Acquisition Workforce

➢ Continue to Improve Acquisition Processes and 

Skills/Improve Requirements Defi nition Process/

Instill Budget and Financial Discipline/Improve 

Major Systems Source Selection 

➢ Enforce Stability in Requirements, CONOPS and 

Funding/Establish Clear Lines of Authority and 

Accountability.

Air Force Structure 

The command line of the Air Force flows from the

President and the National Command Authority to the 

Secretary of Defense and the Department of the Air Force.

The Air Force is headed by the Secretary of the

Air Force (SECAF), with the Chief of Staff reporting to

the Secretary. Immediately subordinate to the departmental

headquarters are the Major Air Commands (MAJCOMs),

Field Operating Agencies (FOAs), Direct Reporting Units 

(DRUs), and the Auxiliary.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Major Command Structure

Most units of the Air Force are assigned to a specifi c major

command (MAJCOMs), led by a general offi cer. MAJCOMs

have extensive functional responsibilities as will be shown

Numbered Air Forces (NAF) with each responsible for one

or more wings or independent groups. 

Wings are the primary units of the working Air Force and are 

responsible for maintaining an Air Force base or carrying out 

a specifi c mission. Wings may be commanded by a general

offi cer or a colonel. There are different types of wings, based 

on objective: operational, air base, or specialized mission.

A wing may have several squadrons in more than one

dependent group. Wings typically contain an operations 

group, a maintenance group, a support group and a medical

group.

The majority of individual offi cers and Airmen are assigned 

to a squadron, which may be composed of several fl ights. 

Additionally, there are other types of organizations in the

Air Force structure such as centers, fi eld operating agencies

and direct reporting units.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Air Force 

Financial Management 

The Air Force Financial Management enterprise 

encompasses the hardware, software, personnel, processes, 

procedures, controls and data necessary to carry out its 

fi nancial management responsibilities. This section

focuses on the Air Force’s system of internal control and 

emphasizes our compliance with federal laws such as the

Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) and the

Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA).

The following examples illustrate some of the ways the Air

Force is improving fi nancial compliance and effi ciency.

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) 

Compliance 

The passage of the CFO Act of 1990 required major

federal agencies to prepare auditable fi nancial statements

for the fi rst time. In 1994 the Government Management 

Reform Act (GMRA) extended the CFO Act to include 

agency-wide reports from all major executive branch 

agencies, their components, and for the government as 

a whole. The Government Performance and Results Act 

(GPRA) of 1993 required agencies to systematically 

report on plans and performance. The FFMIA of 1996, 

along with the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (also known 

as the Information Technology Management Reform

Act), required that agencies install integrated systems that 

comply with federal accounting standards and produce 

auditable fi nancial statements in accordance with Offi ce

of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-136, 

Financial Reporting Requirements. Additionally, agencies

must follow generally accepted accounting principles 

(GAAP) promulgated by the Federal Accounting Standards

Advisory Board (FASAB).

The Air Force Financial Improvement Plan is a roadmap 

to accomplish those tasks and actions necessary to obtain

an unqualifi ed audit opinion on the Air Force General

Fund and Working Capital Fund fi nancial statements.

The Financial Improvement Plan is an Air Forcewide management tool meant to improve the quality

of information that is needed to make sound business

decisions. Quality information must be relevant and 

reliable. The overarching goal of the CFO Act is to

provide leaders and managers, on a routine basis, quality 

information with which to make decisions. An unqualifi ed 

audit opinion attests to the reliability of the Air Force’s 

fi nancial information.

Internal Controls

The Air Force operates a robust Manager’s Internal Control

Program in compliance with OMB Circular A-123 to

employ a comprehensive system of continuous evaluation

of internal controls. This review system is fully integrated 

with functional program control assessments used to help 

ensure that the goals of the Department of the Air Force 

are achieved each year. In strict adherence to The Offi ce

of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) guidance,

the Air Force reports a level of assurance over its internal

controls in three distinct areas: Internal Control over

Nonfi nancial Operations (ICONO), Internal Control over

Financial Reporting (ICOFR), and Internal Controls over

Financial Systems (ICOFS).

Internal Controls Over Financial 

Reporting (ICOFR) 

As directed in the Under Secretary of Defense

(Comptroller) memo dated August 11, 2009, our review

of ICOFR focused on the strategic prioritization of the

Statement of Budgetary Resources and the existence and

completeness of mission critical assets. The Air Force

evaluated the effectiveness of internal controls over the key

business processes which signifi cantly affect the fi nancial

information of those priority areas. This effort involved

documenting processes, developing swim-lane fl owcharts,

performing risk analysis, and testing and analyzing existing

internal controls. Based on auditor recommendations

the Air Force declared a new material weakness over the

existence and completeness of Government Furnished

Equipment. The Air Force also determined the material

weakness over Real Property Valuation was corrected and

the material weakness over Military Equipment Valuation

should be down-graded to a Reportable Condition based

on the completed corrective action plans. The Air Force 

will sustain Real Property Valuation and continue to 

improve the condition of Military Equipment Valuation 

with verifi cation by auditors as it approaches fi nal assertion

of audit readiness during their review of AF PP&E fi rst 

quarter FY11. We continue to track and report on nine 

existing ICOFR material weaknesses that are included in 

the Secretary’s Annual Statement of Assurance. 

Continuous Improvement 

This year the Air Force completed a signifi cant 

transformation of its Financial Improvement Plan (FIP) 

to support the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)

priorities of assertion of the Statement of Budgetary

7
8

Resources and the existence and completeness of mission

critical assets. The FIP consolidates all the required 

actions, establishes action offi ces, determines the status,

and identifi es resources required to produce accurate and 

timely fi nancial information. The purpose of this plan is

progress toward the goal of an unqualifi ed opinion. The

FIP operates under a robust governance structure created to

oversee the implementation of the plan. The Secretary of 

the Air Force established an Executive Steering Committee 

(ESC) composed of senior level Air Force leaders. This 

group’s charter states that it will meet at least quarterly to

ensure the actions incorporated in the FIP are effectively 

implemented. In addition to overseeing the FIP, the ESC 

also provides oversight to the Accountability and Financial 

Management Integrated Project Team (A&FM IPT). This

work group is responsible for resolving the issues and 

monitoring actions contained in the FIP.

Progress Towards Auditability 

The Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) has directed 

the Air Force to apply its limited fi nancial improvement 

resources on the prioritized objectives outlined in the

Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness Strategy

(FIAR) Strategy. The Air Force has asserted to the audit 

readiness of Appropriations Received and Non-expenditure

Transfers as a part of the overall Budget Authority

assertion. The Air Force’s Military Equipment line will

be audit ready in the fi rst quarter of FY 2011. In addition,

the Air Force will make incremental progress on important 

assessable units of Operating Material and Supplies

(OM&S) (e.g., missile motors, cruise missiles, and drones)

during FY 2011.

Air Force General Fund

The General Fund is the fund into which most receipts of 

the United States Government are deposited. Exceptions

include receipts from specifi c sources required by law to

be deposited into other designated funds and receipts from

appropriations made by Congress to carry on the general

and ordinary operations of the Government. The Notes 

to the Principal Statements provide more detail on the

appropriations. The major appropriations in the Air Force

General Fund and their uses are:

Military Personnel (MILPERS)

This appropriation provides funding for the care and 

feeding of our Airmen. It includes all direct military

compensation for active duty, reserve, guard, and retired 

personnel including regular pay, allowances, and bonuses.

Additionally, this appropriation funds all Permanent 

Change of Station (PCS) moves and supports a total force 

(active, reserve and guard) end strength of 511,991.

Operations and Maintenance (O&M)

This appropriation funds key readiness programs critical to

prepare forces for combat operations and other peacetime 

missions. These include day-to-day operating costs such

as fl ying hours, depot maintenance, training, spare parts,

and base operations. The FY 2010 appropriation supported 

83 installations, produced over 1,200 pilots and funded 

approximately 1.5 million fl ying hours while sustaining an

aircraft fl eet of over 5,550 aircraft. 

Procurement

This appropriation provides for purchase of aircraft,

missiles, vehicles, electronic and telecommunications 

equipment, satellite and launch equipment, base

maintenance and support equipment, and investment-type

spares. The FY 2010 program supported the purchase of 

up to 92 aircraft including 28 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 

(UAVs) and 65 Manned Vehicles. 

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation

This appropriation provides funding for the research and 

development of next generation weapons and platforms 

and for the testing and evaluation of current prototypes and 

upgrades. The Air Force’s top fi ve acquisition priorities are 

to:

➢ Execute the successful KC-X source selection 

and award.

➢ Execute the Joint Strike Fighter System 

Development and Demonstration (SDD) restructure

and assess production reset.

➢ Complete the Fall Program Reviews to develop

effi ciency initiatives and document effi ciency

actions.

➢ Improve cost effectiveness of Advanced Extremely 

High Frequency (AEHF) Military Satellite 

Communications (MILSATCOM) satellites 

(AEHF), Space-Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS)

and Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight 

Terminals (FAB-T) programs.

➢ Develop should cost of Evolved Expendable 

Launch Vehicle (EELV) with transition of should 

cost team into deep dive on cost structure.

Military Construction (MILCON)

This appropriation includes any construction, development, 

conversion, or extension of any kind carried out 

with respect to a military installation. Typically this

appropriation applies to any projects that exceed $1.5

million but can be applicable to projects exceeding a $750

thousand threshold.

A sub-element of this appropriation provides funding

for family housing construction programs. The FY 2010

appropriation supported 151 projects in total.

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)

The law authorizes the BRAC accounts to fund one-time,

nonrecurring costs that are a direct result of BRACdirected base closure or realignment actions. Some costs

do not qualify for BRAC funding as costs resulting from 

closure or realignment. The FY 2010 BRAC program was 

approximately $500 million.

Current and Future Financial 

Systems - Defense Enterprise 

Accounting and Management System 

(DEAMS) 

Our systems enable us to maintain stewardship over

the resources entrusted to us. DEAMS is key to our

current and future ability to manage the Air Force’s 

resources. DEAMS was launched in August 2003 as a

joint initiative between the Air Force, U.S. Transportation 

Command (USTRANSCOM) and the Defense Finance

and Accounting Service under what became the Defense

Department’s Business Transformation Agency. The

DEAMS mission is to support the Nation’s warfi ghters

with timely, accurate, and reliable fi nancial information,

enabling more effi cient and effective decision making

by DoD managers. DEAMS is reengineering fi nancial

management activities with a unifi ed enterprise

architecture, standardized business rules and processes, 

and the fi rst implementation of the new Standard Financial

Information Structure.

The Air Force is implementing DEAMS through an

incremental development approach in fi ve spirals. 

Spiral 1 was a technology demonstration at Scott AFB, 

Illinois, involving USTRANSCOM; Headquarters, Air

Mobility Command; and Air Force active duty, Air

National Guard and Air Force Reserve tenant organizations

on or associated with that base. Spiral 1 successfully

demonstrated an initial commitment accounting capability demonstrated an initial commitment accounting capability

in 2007. Spiral 2 deployed in May 2010, expanding the 

General Accounting functionality to those same units along 

with the DFAS servicing center at Limestone, Maine.

Spiral 3 will expand DEAMS capability to the remaining

AMC bases, Surface Deployment and Distribution

Command (SDDC) and Military Sealift Command (MSC). 

Spiral 4 will take DEAMS to most of the remaining 

Air Force major commands, saving Air Force Materiel 

Command and Air Force Space Command for Spiral 5

to complete DEAMS deployment. When fully fi elded,

DEAMS will transform fi nancial management and set a 

new standard for effective and effi cient stewardship of our

Nation’s Defense resources.

Air Force 

Working Capital Fund

The Air Force Working Capital Fund (AFWCF) 

conducts business in two primary areas: the Consolidated 

Sustainment Activity Group (CSAG) and the Supply 

Management Activity Group-Retail (SMAG-R). Air Force 

Materiel Command (AFMC) manages more than 90 percent 

of the AFWCF business activity for Supply Management 

and Depot Maintenance activities. These functions provide

goods and services to the Air Force and DoD customers, as 

well as customers outside the DoD (e.g., local and foreign 

governments). Supply Management provides expedited 

repair, replenishment and inventory control for spare parts

and associated logistics support services to fulfi ll Air Force

needs during war and peacetime. Depot Maintenance

provides economical and responsive repair, overhaul and 

modifi cation of aircraft, missiles, engines, other major end 

items and associated components.

In FY 1998 the Air Force was appointed the Executive

Agent for Transportation Working Capital Fund (TWCF)

cash. Even though AFWCF manages TWCF’s cash, daily

operations are managed by the United States Transportation

Command. As a result, TWCF’s fi nancial statements are

reported with other Defense Agencies.

The AFWCF allows the Air Force to accomplish the

following: ensure readiness through reduced support costs,

stabilized rates and responsive customer service; fl exibility 

to respond to customer support needs in real-world 

situations; focus management attention on net operating

results, including cost and performance; identify the total

cost of providing support products and services; and, 

establish strong customer/provider relationships.
10

Consolidated Sustainment 

Activity Group (CSAG)

The Consolidated Sustainment Activity Group (CSAG)

is an AFWCF business activity chartered for operation in

FY 2009. The CSAG consolidates the Depot Maintenance 

Activity Group (DMAG) and the Material Support Division

(MSD) from the Supply Management Activity Group into

a single business enterprise. This consolidation eliminates

internal transactions between MSD and DMAG, resulting 

in a more effi cient business enterprise and customer

support improvements. The mission of CSAG is supply 

management of reparable and consumable items as well as

maintenance services. Under CSAG, business operations 

formerly known as DMAG are now characterized as the

Maintenance Division and business operations formerly

known as MSD are now designated the Supply Division.

The CSAG Maintenance Division repairs systems and 

spare parts to ensure readiness in peacetime and to provide 

sustainment for combat forces in wartime. This division

operates on the funds received from its customers through

sales of its services. In peacetime, the Air Force enhances 

readiness by effi ciently and economically repairing,

overhauling and modifying aircraft, engines, missiles,

components and software to meet customer demands. The 

Maintenance Division’s depots have unique skills and 

equipment required to support and overhaul both new, 

complex components as well as aging weapon systems.

During wartime or contingencies, the depots can surge

repair operations and realign capacity to support the war

fi ghter’s immediate needs.

CSAG Maintenance Division is managed by AFMC and 

employs over 23,000 personnel supporting four industrial

locations.

CSAG Maintenance sites include:

➢ Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC)

Ogden, UT

➢ Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC)

Oklahoma City, OK

➢ Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) 

Warner Robins, GA

➢ Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group

(AMARG), Tucson, AZ

The CSAG Supply Division is primarily responsible

for Air Force-managed, depot-level reparable spares and 

consumable spares unique to the Air Force. Spares are an

individual part, subassembly, or assembly supplied for

the maintenance or repair of systems or equipment. In 

addition to management of these inventories, the Supply

Division provides a wide range of logistics support services

including requirements forecasting, item introduction,

cataloging, provisioning, procurement, repair, technical 

support, data management, item disposal, distribution

management and transportation.

Contract Depot Maintenance 

The transition of contract depot maintenance from the

working capital fund was completed in FY 2008. The

activity ceased accepting new orders at the end of FY 2008

and is expected to close out all accounting records by the

end of FY 2011. This change brings the user and provider

of contract depot maintenance services closer together and 

removes the WCF from its current role as the “middleman.”

Supply Management Activity Group–

Retail 

The Air Force Supply Management Activity Group–Retail

(SMAG-R) is comprised of three divisions: General

Support, Medical-Dental, and the United States Air Force

Academy.

The Air Force SMAG-R provides a wide range of logistics

support services including requirements forecasting, item 

introduction, cataloging, provisioning, procurement,

repair, technical support, data management, item disposal,

distribution management and transportation. Inventories 

are an integral part of SMAG-R and are maintained by each 

of the divisions in support of customer requirements. The 

SMAG-R objective is to replenish inventories and provide

supplies to customers in a timely manner within customer

funding constraints, while maintaining fund solvency. The

Air Force (SMAG-R) manages weapon system spare parts,

medical-dental supplies and equipment, and other supply 

items used in non-weapon system applications.

The General Support Division (GSD) manages nearly 1.1 

million items, which are procured from Defense Logistics 

Agency (DLA) and General Services Administration 

(GSA). GSD customers use the majority of these items to 

support fi eld and depot maintenance of aircraft, ground and 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

airborne communication and electronic systems, as well as

other sophisticated systems and equipment. The General

Support Division also manages many items related to 

installation, maintenance, and administrative functions.

The Medical-Dental Division (MDD) manages nearly 

9,000 different items for 74 Medical Treatment Facilities 

(MTF) worldwide. All supply and equipment requirements

generated by Air Force treatment facilities are procured 

through this division. The Medical-Dental Division also

maintains the War Readiness Materiel (WRM) requirement. 

WRM provides initial war fi ghting capability until resupply lines can sustain wartime demands for medical and 

dental supplies and equipment.

The Air Force Academy Division fi nances the purchase 

of uniforms and uniform accessories for sale to cadets in

accordance with regulations of the Air Force Academy

and related statutes. The customer base consists of 

approximately 4,500 cadets who receive distinctive

uniforms procured from various manufacturing contractors.

Air Force Working Capital Fund 

Customers 

AFWCF provides support to a variety of customers: Air

Force Major Commands (including the Air National Guard 

& Air Force Reserves), the Army, the Navy, other WCF’s, 

other government agencies and foreign countries.

Air Force Working Capital Fund 

Financial Performance Measures

AFWCF assesses fi nancial performance using the Net 

Operating Result (NOR) of an activity. The NOR is the

difference between revenue and expenses, i.e., a bottomline profi t and loss indicator. The NOR objective of an 

activity group is to break even over a two year period. 

Prices are established to achieve this objective by

recovering or returning prior year losses or gains. DoD

cash management policy is to maintain the minimum cash 

balance necessary to meet both operational requirements

and disbursements in support of the capital program. 

Cash generated from operations is the primary means

of maintaining adequate cash levels. Effective cash

management is directly dependent on the availability of 

accurate and timely data on cash levels and operational 

results. Cash levels should be maintained to cover 7 to 10 

days of operational costs as well as cash adequate to meet 

6 months of capital disbursements.

Financing the Fight 

This nation continues to face an enemy unlike any seen

throughout history. It is an elusive, well equipped, and 

well organized unit, capable of strategically attacking our

country. As our Joint Coalition teams continue to battle,

Air Force fi nancial managers provide sound stewardship

and acquisition excellence to help position our Airmen to

succeed. Through strong fi nancial reinvention our teams

help to manage the development and delivery of superior

air and space systems. 

The U.S. Air Force is also a well equipped, and well

organized unit, and it is through the efforts of the FM

community that we are able to continue our duty in 

“fi nancing the fi ght”.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies 

 

1.A. Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared to report the financial position and results of operations of the Air Force, as 

required by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, expanded by the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, and 

other appropriate legislation. The financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Air Force in 

accordance with, and to the extent possible, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (USGAAP) promulgated by the 

Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board; the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-136, Financial 

Reporting Requirements; and the Department of Defense (DoD), Financial Management Regulation (FMR). 

The accompanying financial statements account for all resources for which the Air Force is responsible unless otherwise 

noted. 

Information relative to classified assets, programs, and operations is excluded from the statements or otherwise aggregated 

and reported in such a manner that it is not discernible. 

The Air Force is unable to implement fully all elements of USGAAP and the OMB Circular No. A-136, due to limitations of 

financial and nonfinancial management processes and systems that support the financial statements. The Air Force derives 

reported values and information for major asset and liability categories largely from nonfinancial systems, such as inventory 

and logistic systems. These systems were designed to support reporting requirements for maintaining accountability over 

assets and reporting the status of federal appropriations rather than preparing financial statements in accordance with 

USGAAP. The Air Force continues to implement process and system improvements addressing these limitations. 

The DoD currently has 13 auditor identified material weaknesses. Of these the Air Force has the following: (1) Financial 

Management Systems; (2) Fund Balance with Treasury; (3) Accounts Receivable; (4) Operating Materials and Supplies; (5) 

General Property, Plant, and Equipment; (6) Government-Furnished Material and Contractor-Acquired Material; (7) Accounts 

Payable; (8) Environmental Liabilities; (9) Statement of Net Cost; (10) Intragovernmental Eliminations; (11) Other Accounting 

Entries; and (12) Reconciliation of Net Cost of Operations to Budget. 

1.B. Mission of the Reporting Entity

The United States Air Force was created on September 18, 1947, by the National Security Act of 1947 and operates under 

the direction, authority, and control of the Secretary of the Air Force. The Air Force’s overall mission is to deliver sovereign 

options for the Defense of the United States of America and its global interests to "Aim High...Fly, Fight, Win" in air, space, 

and cyberspace. The Air Force carries out its mission by adhering to a strategic framework of Core Values consisting of 

Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. In addition, the Air Force is committed to provide Global 

Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power, while defending and protecting the United States. 

1.C. Appropriations and Funds

The Air Force receives appropriations and funds as general, working capital (revolving), trust, special, and deposit funds. 

The Air Force uses these appropriations and funds to execute its missions and subsequently report on resource usage. 

x General funds are used for financial transactions funded by congressional appropriations, including personnel, 

operation and maintenance, research and development, procurement, and military construction. 

These general funds also include supplemental funds enacted by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 

(Recovery Act) of 2009. Details relating to Recovery Act appropriated funds are available on-line at 

http://www.defenselink.mil/recovery. 

x Trust funds contain receipts and expenditures of funds held in trust by the government for use in carrying out specific 

purposes or programs in accordance with the terms of the donor, trust agreement, or statute. Special fund accounts 

are used to record government receipts reserved for a specific purpose. Certain trust and special funds may be 

designated as earmarked funds. Earmarked funds are financed by specifically identified revenues, required by 

statute to be used for designated activities, benefits or purposes, and remain available over time. The Air Force is 

required to account separately for and report on the receipt, use and retention of revenues and other financing 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

x Deposit funds are used to record amounts held temporarily until paid to the appropriate government or public entity. 

They are not Air Force funds, and as such, are not available for Air Force’s operations. The Air Force is acting as an 

agent or a custodian for funds awaiting distribution. 

The Air Force is a party to allocation transfers with other federal agencies as a receiving (child) entity. An allocation transfer 

is an entity’s legal delegation of authority to obligate budget authority and outlay funds on its behalf. Generally, all financial 

activity related to allocation transfers (e.g. budget authority, obligations, outlays) is reported in the financial statements of the 

parent entity. Exceptions to this general rule apply to specific funds for which OMB has directed that all activity be reported 

in the financial statements of the child entity. These exceptions include U.S. Treasury-Managed Trust Funds, Executive 

Office of the President (EOP), and all other funds specifically designated by OMB. Based on an agreement with OMB, funds 

for Security Assistance programs are reported separately from Air Force financial statements and notes. 

The Air Force receives allocation transfers for EOP (Foreign Military Sales – Military Assistance Program) meeting the OMB 

exception. 

 

The accounts used to prepare the financial statements are categorized as either entity or nonentity. The Air Force accounts 

consist of resources that are available for use in the operations of the entity. The Air Force is authorized to decide how to 

use resources in entity accounts or may be legally obligated to use these resources to meet entity obligations. Nonentity 

accounts, on the other hand, consist of assets that are held by an entity but that are not available for use in the operations of 

the entity. The following is a list of the major Air Force account numbers and titles (all accounts are entity accounts unless

otherwise noted):

1.D. Basis of Accounting

The Air Force’s financial management systems are unable to meet all full accrual accounting requirements. Many of the 

Air Force’s financial and nonfinancial feeder systems and processes were designed and implemented prior to the issuance 

of USGAAP. These systems were not designed to collect and record financial information on the full accrual accounting 

basis as required by USGAAP. Most of Air Force’s financial and nonfinancial legacy systems were designed to record 

information on a budgetary basis. 

The Air Force's financial statements and supporting trial balances are compiled from the underlying financial data and trial 

balances of the Air Force's sub-entities. The underlying data is largely derived from budgetary transactions (obligations, 

disbursements, and collections), from nonfinancial feeder systems, and accruals made for major items such as payroll 

expenses, accounts payable, and environmental liabilities. Some of the sub-entity level trial balances may reflect known 

abnormal balances resulting largely from business and system processes. At the consolidated Air Force level these 

abnormal balances may not be evident. Disclosures of abnormal balances are made in the applicable footnotes, but only 

to the extent that the abnormal balances are evident at the consolidated level. 

 

The DoD is determining the actions required to bring its financial and nonfinancial feeder systems and processes into 

compliance with USGAAP. One such action is the current revision of accounting systems to record transactions based on 

the U.S. Standard General Ledger (USSGL). Until all Air Force’s financial and nonfinancial feeder systems and processes 

are updated to collect and report financial information as required by USGAAP, Air Force’s financial data will be derived 

from budgetary transactions, data from nonfinancial feeder systems, and accruals. 

1.E. Revenues and Other Financing Sources

The Air Force receives congressional appropriations as financing sources for general funds that expire annually, on a 

multi-year basis, or do not expire. When authorized by legislation, these appropriations are supplemented by revenues 

generated by sales of goods or services. The Air Force recognizes revenue as a result of costs incurred for goods and 

services provided to other federal agencies and the public. Full-cost pricing is Air Force’s standard policy for services 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

23

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

provided as required by OMB Circular A-25, User Charges. The Air Force recognizes revenue when earned within the 

constraints of its current system capabilities. In some instances, revenue is recognized when bills are issued. 

The Air Force does not include nonmonetary support provided by U.S. allies for common defense and mutual security in 

amounts reported in the Statement of Net Cost and the Note 21, Reconciliation of Net Cost of Operations to Budget. The 

U.S. has cost sharing agreements with countries having a mutual or reciprocal defense agreement, where U.S. troops are 

stationed, or where the U.S. Fleet is in a port. 

 

1.F. Recognition of Expenses

For financial reporting purposes, DoD policy requires the recognition of operating expenses in the period incurred. Current 

financial and nonfinancial feeder systems were not designed to collect and record financial information on the full accrual 

accounting basis. Estimates are made for major items such as payroll expenses, accounts payable, environmental 

liabilities, and unbilled revenue. Some accounts such as civilian pay, military pay, and accounts payable are presented on 

the accrual basis of accounting on the financial statements, as required by USGAAP. 

In the case of Operating Materiel & Supplies (OM&S), operating expenses are generally recognized when the items are 

purchased. Efforts are underway to transition to the consumption method for recognizing OM&S expenses. Under the 

consumption method, OM&S would be expensed when consumed. 

Due to system limitations, in some instances expenditures for capital and other long-term assets may be recognized as 

operating expenses. The Air Force continues to implement process and system improvements to address these 

limitations. 

1.G. Accounting for Intragovernmental Activities

Accounting standards require that an entity eliminate intraentity activity and balances from consolidated financial 

statements in order to prevent overstatement for business with itself. However, the Air Force cannot accurately identify 

intragovernmental transactions by customer because Air Force’s systems do not track buyer and seller data at the 

transaction level. Generally, seller entities within the DoD provide summary seller-side balances for revenue, accounts 

receivable, and unearned revenue to the buyer-side internal DoD accounting offices. In most cases, the buyer-side 

records are adjusted to agree with DoD seller-side balances and are then eliminated. The DoD is implementing 

replacement systems and a standard financial information structure that will incorporate the necessary elements that will 

enable DoD to correctly report, reconcile, and eliminate intragovernmental balances. 

The U.S. Treasury’s Federal Intragovernmental Transactions Accounting Policy Guide and Treasury Financial Manual Part 

2 – Chapter 4700, Agency Reporting Requirements for the Financial Report of the United States Government, provide 

guidance for reporting and reconciling intragovernmental balances. While Air Force is unable to reconcile fully 

intragovernmental transactions with all federal agencies, Air Force is able to reconcile balances pertaining to investments 

in federal securities, borrowings from the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Financing Bank, Federal Employees’ 

Compensation Act transactions with the Department of Labor, and benefit program transactions with the Office of 

Personnel Management. 

The DoD’s proportionate share of public debt and related expenses of the Federal Government is not included. The 

Federal Government does not apportion debt and its related costs to federal agencies. The DoD’s financial statements do 

not report any public debt, interest, or source of public financing, whether from issuance of debt or tax revenues. 

Generally, financing for the construction of DoD facilities is obtained through appropriations. To the extent this financing 

ultimately may have been obtained through the issuance of public debt, interest costs have not been capitalized since the 

U.S. Treasury does not allocate such costs to DoD. 

1.H. Transactions with Foreign Governments and International Organizations

Each year, Air Force sells defense articles and services to foreign governments and international organizations under the 

provisions of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976. Under the provisions of the Act, DoD has authority to sell defense 
24

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

articles and services to foreign countries and international organizations generally at no profit or loss to the Federal 

Government. Payment in U.S. dollars is required in advance. 

 

1.I. Funds with the U.S. Treasury

The Air Force’s monetary resources are maintained in U.S. Treasury accounts. The disbursing offices of Defense Finance 

and Accounting Service (DFAS), the Military Departments, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the 

Department of State’s financial service centers process the majority of the Air Force’s cash collections, disbursements, and 

adjustments worldwide. Each disbursing station prepares monthly reports to the U.S. Treasury on checks issued, 

electronic fund transfers, interagency transfers, and deposits. 

 

In addition, DFAS sites and USACE Finance Center submit reports to the U.S. Treasury by appropriation on interagency 

transfers, collections received, and disbursements issued. The U.S. Treasury records these transactions to the applicable 

Fund Balance with Treasury (FBWT) account. On a monthly basis, Air Force’s FBWT is adjusted to agree with the U.S. 

Treasury accounts. 

1.J. Foreign Currency

Cash is the total of cash resources under the control of DoD which includes coin, paper currency, negotiable instruments, 

and amounts held for deposit in banks and other financial institutions. Foreign currency consists of the total U.S. dollar 

equivalent of both purchased and nonpurchased foreign currencies held in foreign currency fund accounts. Foreign 

currency is valued using the U.S. Treasury prevailing rate of exchange. 

The majority of cash and all foreign currency is classified as “nonentity” and is restricted. Amounts reported consist 

primarily of cash and foreign currency held by disbursing officers to carry out their paying, collecting, and foreign currency 

accommodation exchange missions. 

The Air Force conducts a significant portion of operations overseas. Congress established a special account to handle the 

gains and losses from foreign currency transactions for five general fund appropriations: (1) operations and maintenance; 

(2) military personnel; (3) military construction; (4) family housing operation and maintenance; and (5) family housing 

construction. The gains and losses are calculated as the variance between the exchange rate current at the date of 

payment and a budget rate established at the beginning of each fiscal year. Foreign currency fluctuations related to other 

appropriations require adjustments to the original obligation amount at the time of payment. The Air Force does not 

separately identify currency fluctuation transactions. 

1.K. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable from other federal entities or the public include: accounts receivable, claims receivable, and refunds 

receivable. Allowances for uncollectible accounts due from the public are computed based on the average annual write off 

over a five year period. The DoD does not recognize an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts from other federal 

agencies. Claims against other federal agencies are to be resolved between the agencies in accordance with dispute 

resolution procedures defined in the Intragovernmental Business Rules published in the Treasury Financial Manual at 

http://www.fms.treas.gov/tfm/vol1/07-03.pdf. 

1.L. Direct Loans and Loan Guarantees

Not applicable. 

1.M. Inventories and Related Property

The Air Force manages only military or government specific materiel under normal conditions. Materiel is a unique term 

that relates to military force management, and includes items such as self-propelled weapons, aircraft, etc., and related 

spares, repair parts, and support equipment. Items commonly used in and available from the commercial sector are not 

managed in Air Force’s materiel management activities. Operational cycles are irregular and the military risks associated 

with stock-out positions have no commercial parallel. The Air Force holds materiel based on military need and support for 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

25

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

contingencies. The DoD is currently developing a methodology to be used to account for “inventory held for sale” and 

“inventory held in reserve for future sale” with a completion date of year-end FY 2011 reporting. 

Related property includes OM&S and stockpile materiel. The majority of OM&S, with the exception of munitions not held 

for sale, are valued using the moving average cost method. Munitions not held for sale are valued at standard purchase 

price. The Air Force uses both the consumption method and the purchase method of accounting for OM&S. Items that are 

centrally managed and stored, such as ammunition and engines, are generally recorded using the consumption method 

and are reported on the Balance Sheet as OM&S. When current systems cannot fully support the consumption method, 

Air Force uses the purchase method. Under this method, materiel and supplies are expensed when purchased. During FY 

2010 and FY 2009, Air Force expensed significant amounts using the purchase method because the systems could not 

support the consumption method or management deemed that the item was in the hands of the end user. This is a 

material weakness for the DoD and long-term system corrections are in process. Once the proper systems are in place, 

these items will be accounted for under the consumption method of accounting. 

The Air Force determined that the recurring high dollar-value of OM&S in need of repair is material to the financial 

statements and requires a separate reporting category. Many high-dollar items, such as aircraft engines, are categorized 

as OM&S rather than military equipment. 

The Air Force recognizes excess, obsolete, and unserviceable OM&S at a net realizable value of $0 pending development 

of an effective means of valuing such materiel. 

1.N. Investments in U.S. Treasury Securities

The Air Force reports investments in U.S. Treasury securities at cost, net of amortized premiums or discounts. Premiums 

or discounts are amortized over the term of the investments using the effective interest rate method or another method 

obtaining similar results. The Air Force’s intent is to hold investments to maturity, unless they are needed to finance claims

or otherwise sustain operations. Consequently, a provision is not made for unrealized gains or losses on these securities. 

The Air Force invests in nonmarketable market-based U.S. Treasury securities, which are issued to federal agencies by 

the U.S. Treasury’s Bureau of Public Debt. They are not traded on any securities exchange but mirror the prices of 

particular U.S. Treasury securities traded in the government securities market. 

1.O. General Property, Plant and Equipment

The Air Force uses the estimated historical cost for valuing military equipment. The DoD identified the universe of military 

equipment by accumulating information relating to program funding and associated military equipment, equipment useful 

life, program acquisitions, and disposals to establish a baseline. The military equipment baseline is updated using 

expenditure, acquisition, and disposal information. 

The DoD’s General Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E) capitalization threshold is $100 thousand except for real 

property, which is $20 thousand. The Air Force has not fully implemented the threshold for real property; therefore, Air 

Force is primarily using the capitalization threshold of $100 thousand for General PP&E, and most real property. 

With the exception of USACE Civil Works and Working Capital Fund, General PP&E assets are capitalized at historical 

acquisition cost when an asset has a useful life of two or more years and when the acquisition cost equals or exceeds the 

DoD’s capitalization threshold. The DoD also requires the capitalization of improvements to existing General PP&E assets 

if the improvements equal or exceed the capitalization threshold and extend the useful life or increase the size, efficiency, 

or capacity of the asset. The DoD depreciates all General PP&E, other than land, on a straight-line basis. 

When it is in the best interest of the government, the Air Force provides government property to contractors to complete 

contract work. The Air Force either owns or leases such property, or it is purchased directly by the contractor for the 

government based on contract terms. When the value of contractor-procured General PP&E meets or exceeds the DoD 

capitalization threshold, federal accounting standards require that it be reported on Air Force’s Balance Sheet. 

The DoD developed policy and a reporting process for contractors with government furnished equipment that provides 

appropriate General PP&E information for financial statement reporting. The DoD requires Air Force to maintain, in its 
26

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

property systems, information on all property furnished to contractors. These actions are structured to capture and report 

the information necessary for compliance with federal accounting standards. The Air Force has not fully implemented this 

policy primarily due to system limitations. 

1.P. Advances and Prepayments

When advances are permitted by law, legislative action, or presidential authorization, DoD’s policy is to record advances or 

prepayments in accordance with USGAAP. As such, payments made in advance of the receipt of goods and services 

should be reported as an asset on the Balance Sheet. The DoD’s policy is to expense and/or properly classify assets 

when the related goods and services are received. The Air Force has not fully implemented this policy primarily due to 

system limitations. 

1.Q. Leases

Lease payments for the rental of equipment and operating facilities are classified as either capital or operating leases. 

When a lease is essentially equivalent to an installment purchase of property (a capital lease), and the value equals or 

exceeds the current capitalization threshold, Air Force records the applicable asset as though purchased, with an offsetting 

liability, and depreciates it. The Air Force records the asset and the liability at the lesser of the present value of the rental 

and other lease payments during the lease term (excluding portions representing executory costs paid to the lessor) or the 

asset’s fair market value. The discount rate for the present value calculation is either the lessor’s implicit interest rate or 

the government’s incremental borrowing rate at the inception of the lease. The Air Force, as the lessee, receives the use 

and possession of leased property, for example real estate or equipment, from a lessor in exchange for a payment of 

funds. An operating lease does not substantially transfer all the benefits and risk of ownership. Payments for operating 

leases are expensed over the lease term as they become payable. 

Office space and leases entered into by Air Force are the largest component of operating leases and are based on costs 

gathered from existing leases, General Services Administration (GSA) bills, and interservice support agreements. Future 

year projections use the Consumer Price Index. 

1.R. Other Assets

Other assets include those assets, such as military and civil service employee pay advances, travel advances, and certain 

contract financing payments that are not reported elsewhere on Air Force’s Balance Sheet. 

The Air Force conducts business with commercial contractors under two primary types of contracts: fixed price and cost 

reimbursable. To alleviate the potential financial burden on the contractor that long-term contracts can cause, Air Force 

may provide financing payments. Contract financing payments are defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, Part 32, 

as authorized disbursements to a contractor prior to acceptance of supplies or services by the Government. Contract 

financing payments clauses are incorporated in the contract terms and conditions and may include advance payments, 

performance-based payments, commercial advances and interim payments, progress payments based on cost, and interim 

payments under certain cost-reimbursement contracts. It is DoD policy to record certain contract financing payments as 

other assets. The Air Force has fully implemented this policy. 

Contract financing payments do not include invoice payments, payments for partial deliveries, lease and rental payments, 

or progress payments based on a percentage or stage of completion. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement authorizes progress payments based on a percentage or stage of completion only for construction of real 

property, shipbuilding, and ship conversion, alteration, or repair. Progress payments based on percentage or stage of 

completion are reported as Construction in Progress. 

1.S. Contingencies and Other Liabilities

The Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Liabilities of the Federal 

Government, as amended by SFFAS No. 12, Recognition of Contingent Liabilities Arising from Litigation, defines a 

contingency as an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances that involves an uncertainty as to possible gain or 

loss. The uncertainty will be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Air Force recognizes 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

27

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

contingent liabilities when past events or exchange transactions occur, a future loss is probable, and the loss amount can 

be reasonably estimated. 

Financial statement reporting is limited to disclosure when conditions for liability recognition do not exist but there is at least 

a reasonable possibility of incurring a loss or additional losses. The Air Force’s risk of loss and resultant contingent 

liabilities arise from pending or threatened litigation or claims and assessments due to events such as aircraft and vehicle 

accidents, medical malpractice, property or environmental damages, and contract disputes. 

Other liabilities also arise as a result of anticipated disposal costs for Air Force assets. Consistent with SFFAS No. 6, 

Accounting for Property, Plant, and Equipment, recognition of an anticipated environmental disposal liability begins when 

the asset is placed into service. Based on DoD’s policy, which is consistent with SFFAS No. 5, Accounting for Liabilities of 

the Federal Government, nonenvironmental disposal liabilities are recognized when management decides to dispose of an 

asset. The DoD recognizes nonenvironmental disposal liabilities for military equipment nuclear-powered assets when 

placed into service. These amounts are not easily distinguishable and are developed in conjunction with environmental 

disposal costs. The Air Force does not recognize contingent liabilities associated with nonenvironmental disposals due to 

immateriality. 

1.T. Accrued Leave

The Air Force reports liabilities for military leave and accrued compensatory and annual leave for civilians. Sick leave for 

civilians is expensed as taken. The liabilities are based on current pay rates. 

1.U. Net Position

Net Position consists of unexpended appropriations and cumulative results of operations. 

Unexpended Appropriations represent the amounts of budget authority that are unobligated and have not been rescinded 

or withdrawn. Unexpended appropriations also represent amounts obligated for which legal liabilities for payments have 

not been incurred. 

 

Cumulative Results of Operations represent the net difference between expenses and losses, and financing sources 

(including appropriations, revenue, and gains), since inception. The cumulative results of operations also include 

donations and transfers in and out of assets that were not reimbursed. 

1.V. Treaties for Use of Foreign Bases

The DoD has the use of land, buildings, and other overseas facilities that are obtained through various international treaties 

and agreements negotiated by the Department of State. The Air Force purchases capital assets overseas with 

appropriated funds; however, the host country retains title to the land and capital improvements. Treaty terms generally 

allow Air Force continued use of these properties until the treaties expire. In the event treaties or other agreements are 

terminated, use of the foreign bases is prohibited and losses are recorded for the value of any nonretrievable capital 

assets. The settlement due to the U.S. or host nation is negotiated and takes into account the value of capital investments 

and may be offset by the cost of environmental cleanup. 

1.W. Undistributed Disbursements and Collections

Undistributed disbursements and collections represent the difference between disbursements and collections matched at 

the transaction level to specific obligations, payables, or receivables in the source systems and those reported by the U.S. 

Treasury. 

Supported disbursements and collections are evidenced by corroborating documentation. Unsupported disbursements and 

collections do not have supporting documentation for the transaction and most likely would not meet audit scrutiny. 

The DoD policy is to allocate supported undistributed disbursements and collections between federal and nonfederal 

categories based on the percentage of distributed federal and nonfederal accounts payable and accounts receivable. 

Supported undistributed disbursements and collections are then applied to reduce accounts payable and receivable

accordingly. Unsupported undistributed disbursements are recorded as disbursements intransit and reduce nonfederal 

accounts payable. Unsupported undistributed collections are recorded in nonfederal other liabilities. 

1.X. Significant Events

None. 

1.Y. Fiduciary Activities

Fiduciary cash and other assets are not assets of the Air Force and are not recognized on the balance sheet. Fiduciary 

activities are reported on the financial statement note schedules.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

Nonentity assets are assets for which the Air Force maintains stewardship accountability and reporting responsibility but are 

not available for the Air Force’s normal operations. 

Intragovernmental Fund Balance with Treasury represents amounts in Air Force’s deposit fund and two suspense fund 

accounts (Uniformed Services Thrift Savings Plan Suspense and Thrift Savings Plan Suspense) that are not available for 

Air Force use. 

Nonfederal Accounts Receivable includes interest receivable that upon collection are remitted to the U.S. Treasury as 

miscellaneous receipts. 

Nonfederal Cash and Other Monetary Assets represent disbursing officers’ cash and undeposited collections as reported on 

the Statement of Accountability (Standard Form 1219). These assets are held by the Air Force disbursing officers as agents 

of the U.S. Treasury. The nonfederal cash and other monetary assets represent a fiduciary capacity held by Air Force 

disbursing officers as agents for U.S. Treasury and are not available for use in operations. 

Nonfederal Other Assets consist of advances to contractors as part of the advance payment pool agreements with the 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other nonprofit institutions. These agreements are used for the financing of 

cost-type contracts with nonprofit educational research institutions for experimental research and development work when 

several contracts or a series of contracts require financing by advance payments. These funds are not available for use in 

Air Force operations.

The Status of FBWT reflects the budgetary resources to support the FBWT and is a reconciliation between budgetary and 

proprietary accounts. It primarily consists of unobligated and obligated balances. The balances reflect the budgetary 

authority remaining for disbursement against current or future obligations. 

Unobligated Balance is classified as available or unavailable and represents the cumulative amount of budgetary authority 

that has not been set side to cover outstanding obligations. The unavailable balance consists primarily of funds invested in 

U.S. Treasury securities that are temporarily precluded from obligation by law. Certain unobligated balances are restricted 

for future use and are not apportioned for current use. Unobligated balances for trust funds accounts are restricted for use 

by the public law that established the funds. 

Obligated Balance not yet Disbursed represents funds that have been obligated for goods and services not received, and 

those received but not paid. 

Nonbudgetary FBWT includes accounts that do not have budgetary authority, such as deposit funds, unavailable receipt 

accounts, clearing accounts and nonentity FBWT. The items reported as Nonbudgetary FBWT account comprises the 

FBWT for suspense, deposit and receipt accounts. 

NonFBWT Budgetary Accounts reduces the Status FBWT. The items that comprise the amount reported as NonFBWT 

receipts are from investments and discounts in U.S. Treasury securities, and unfilled customer orders without advances. 

Unobligated balances are segregated to show available and unavailable amounts in the note schedule. Certain unobligated 

balances may be restricted to future use and are not apportioned for current use. The Unobligated Balance unavailable of 

$3.5 billion is not available for new obligations since the period for new obligations established by law has expired.

Notes to the Principal Statements

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

The U.S. Treasury securities are issued to the earmarked funds as evidence of its receipt and are an asset to the Air Force 

and a liability to the U.S. Treasury. The Federal Government does not set aside assets to pay future benefits or other 

expenditures associated with earmarked funds. The cash generated from earmarked funds are deposited in the U.S. 

Treasury, which uses the cash for general Government purposes. Since the Air Force and the U.S. Treasury are both part of 

the Federal Government, these assets and liabilities offset each other from the standpoint of the Federal Government as a 

whole. For this reason, they do not represent an asset or a liability in the U.S. Governmentwide financial statements. 

The U.S. Treasury securities provide the Air Force with authority to draw upon the U.S. Treasury to make future benefit 

payments or other expenditures. When the Air Force requires redemption of these securities to make expenditures, the 

Government finances the securities out of accumulated cash balances, by raising taxes or other receipts, borrowing from the 

public or repaying less debt, or curtailing other expenditures. The Federal Government used the same method to finance all 

other expenditures. 

Intragovernmental Securities (Other) primarily represents the Air Force Gift Fund investment in U.S. Treasury Securities.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

Nonfederal Other Assets (With the Public) is comprised exclusively of Advance Payment Pool Agreements with nonprofit 

educational institutions. These agreements are funded under cost type contract procedures and are mainly for experimental 

research and development requirements. 

 Contract terms and conditions for certain types of contract financing payments convey certain rights to the Federal 

Government that protect the contract work from state or local taxation, liens or attachment by the contractor's creditors, 

transfer of property, or disposition in bankruptcy. However, these rights should not be misconstrued to mean that ownership 

of the contractor’s work has transferred to the Federal Government. The Federal Government does not have the right to 

take the work, except as provided in contract clauses related to termination or acceptance, and Air Force is not obligated to 

make payment to the contractor until delivery and acceptance. 

The balance of Outstanding Contract Financing Payments includes $11.2 billion in contract financing payments and an 

additional $648.8 million in estimated future payments to contractors upon delivery and government acceptance of a 

satisfactory product. See additional discussion in Note 15, Other Liabilities.

The amount reported as cash and foreign currency consists primarily of cash held by Disbursing Officers. The foreign 

currency amount reported is valued at U.S. Treasury’s prevailing exchange rate, which is the most favorable rate available to 

the Government for foreign exchange transactions. Foreign currency is primarily used to make vendor disbursements and to 

exchange U.S. dollars for military personnel. 

Cash and foreign currency are nonentity assets and, as such, considered restricted assets that are held by the Air Force but 

are not available for use in its operations. These assets are held by the Air Force’s Disbursing Officers as agents of U.S. 

Treasury. The total balance of $108.8 million is restricted.

General Composition of OM&S 

The Operating Materiel and Supplies (OM&S) include weapon systems spares, ammunition, tactical missiles, aerial target 

drones, uninstalled aircraft and cruise missile engines, and uninstalled intercontinental ballistic missile motors. 

In addition to the account balances shown in Note 9, the federal accounting standard requires disclosure of the amount of 

OM&S held for future use. Except for an immaterial amount of munitions, the Air Force is not holding any items for future use.

Restrictions on the Use of OM&S 

The Air Force does not maintain any OM&S restricted assets. 

Decision Criteria for Identifying the Category to Which OM&S Items Are Assigned 

The category Held for Use includes all materiel available for issuance. OM&S classified as such is marked within each supply 

or inventory system. 

The category Held for Repair generally includes all economically reparable materiel as defined by the Military Standard 

Transaction Reporting and Accounting Procedures Manual (DoD 4000.25-2-M). 

The category Held as Excess, Obsolete, and Unserviceable includes all materiel that managers determine to be more costly 

to repair than to replace. Items retained for management purposes which are beyond economic repair are coded 

“condemned.” These items are held until proper disposal can be made. Excess, Obsolete, and Unserviceable are valued at 

zero. This allowance results in a zero value to the Air Force. The category Held for Repair represents suspended, 

unserviceable (but reparable) items recorded at Moving Average Cost (MAC) or standard price. 

Changes in the Criteria for Identifying the Category to Which OM&S Items Are Assigned 

Under current DoD policy, no allowance is made for serviceable, ready-to-issue, items (category Held for Use). An allowance 

equal to 100% of MAC or standard price, however, is made for the category Excess, Obsolete, and Unserviceable. This 

allowance results in a net book value of zero to the Air Force. Excess, Obsolete, and Unserviceable are valued at zero. This 

allowance results in a zero value to the Air Force. The category Held for Repair represents suspended, unserviceable (but 

reparable) items recorded at MAC or standard price. 

Operating Materiel and Supplies (OM&S) Value 

The OM&S data reported on the financial statements are derived from logistics systems designed for materiel management 

purposes. Some of these systems do not maintain the historical cost data necessary to comply with the valuation 

requirements of the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 3, “Accounting for Inventory and 

Related Property.” 

In general, the Air Force uses the consumption method of accounting for OM&S, since OM&S is defined in SFFAS No. 3 as 

materiel that has not yet been issued to the end user. Once issued, the materiel is expensed. According to federal accounting 

standards, the consumption method of accounting should be used to account for OM&S unless: (1) the amount of OM&S is 
38

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

not significant, (2) OM&S are in the hands of the end user for use in normal operations, or (3) it is cost beneficial to expense 

OM&S when purchased (purchase method). 

Other Air Force Disclosures 

In the past, the Air Force provided only minimal OM&S accounting data that can be used to prepare the financial statements 

but has made considerable strides in improving the systems to provide actual transactions for completing the financial 

statements. However, in some cases, the data provided still consists of only beginning and ending balances for each of the 

asset accounts Held for Use; Excess, Obsolete, Unserviceable; and Held for Repair. Without the required additional data 

(acquisitions, transfers in, amounts consumed, transfers out, trading partner data, etc.), DFAS can only report the net change 

between prior period ending balances and the values reported as current period ending balances.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

 

General Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) 

There are restrictions on the Air Force’s ability to dispose of real property (land and buildings) located outside the 

continental United States. 

 

The Air Force estimates historical values for capitalized military equipment using departmental internal records. 

Other Air Force Disclosures 

The value of the Air Force’s General PP&E real property in the possession of contractors is included in the values reported 

for the major asset classes of Land and Buildings, Structures, and Facilities. The value of General PP&E personal property 

major asset class of Software and Equipment does not include all of the General PP&E above the DoD capitalization 

threshold in the possession of contractors. The Air Force does not report the value of equipment purchased directly by the 

contractor. The Inspector General, DoD, and the Air Force are developing new policies and a contractor reporting process 

to capture General PP&E information for future reporting purposes in compliance with generally accepted accounting 

principles. 

 

Heritage Assets and Stewardship Land 

The Air Force’s overall mission is to deliver sovereign options for the Defense of the United States of America and its global 

interests to fly, fight, and win in air, space, and cyberspace. As this mission has been executed, Air Force has become a 

large-scale owner of historic buildings, structures, archeological sites and artifacts, aircraft, other cultural resources, and

stewardship land. The protection of the nation’s heritage assets and stewardship land is an important aspect of the Air 

Force’s mission. 

Heritage Assets are PP&E of historical, natural, cultural, educational or artistic significance (e.g. aesthetic); or with 

significant architectural characteristics. Heritage Assets and Stewardship Land are resources that protect, restore, 

enhance, modernize, preserve and sustain mission capability within the Air Force through effective planning and 
42

management of natural and cultural resources to guarantee access to air, land, and water. These assets are resources that 

are managed to provide multiple use activities for the public benefit. This includes actions to comply with requirements such 

as federal laws, Executive Orders, policies, final governing standards, and other binding agreements. Air Force policy is to 

promote and preserve indefinitely the identifiable human, environmental or civic value of these assets. 

Stewardship Land comprises land and land rights other than that acquired for or in connection with General PP&E, land 

acquired via the public domain, or land acquired at no cost. Air Force policy is to promote and preserve indefinitely the 

identifiable human, environmental or civic value of such land 

The Air Force reported 7,607,000 acres of mission essential land under its administration at the end of FY 2009. 

Stewardship Land decreased 20,000 acres during FY 2010 because of a change in category reporting. Specifically, certain 

category codes are now reported as government owned land rather than withdrawn public land. Land purchased by the Air 

Force with the intent to construct building or facilities is considered General PP&E and is reported on the balance sheet. All

Stewardship Land, as reported, is in acceptable condition based on designated use. 

Heritage Assets within the Air Force consist of buildings and structures, archeological sites, museum collection items 

(objects, not including fine art), and museum collection items (fine art). The Air Force’s accounting systems generally do 

not capture information relative to heritage assets separately and distinctly from normal operations. Although the underlying 

accounting and recordkeeping systems track the quantities of these assets, and, in some cases, their historical cost, 

information regarding their fair market value is not readily available. 

 

Buildings and Structures: Buildings and Structures that are listed on, or eligible for listing on the National Register of 

Historic Places, including multi-use Heritage Assets. These buildings and structures are maintained by each base’s civil 

engineering group as part of their overall responsibility. The Air Force reported 8,952 buildings and structures on Air Force 

bases and sites to be heritage assets at the end of FY 2010. During FY 2010, 1, 298 building and structures were deleted 

from the Air Force inventory because they are considered as Capehart –Wherry Era (CWE) houses. CWE houses are 

subject to the 2008 nationwide Program Comment with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation that allows the Air 

Force to demolish the majority of the CWE houses from its inventory. 

Archeological Sites: Sites that have been identified, evaluated, and determined to be eligible for or are listed on the 

National Historical Places in accordance with Section 110 National Historical Preservation Act. The Air Force listed 2,195 

archeological sites on or eligible for the National Register at the end of FY 2010. 

Museum Collection Items, Objects Not Including Fine Art: This represents the number of objects which meet the 

criteria for historical property as defined in Air Force Instruction 84-103 and that have been evaluated, accessioned, and 

catalogued in the Air Force national historic collection. The National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF) 

performs inherently governmental functions by fulfilling statutory requirements delegated by the Secretary of the Air Force 

for management of the Air Force’s national historic collection. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 there have 

been 5,047 objects added to the collection. These additions are a result of private donations, transfers from other Air Force 

and federal entities, curatorial administrative actions, and the continued documentation of previously unreported artifacts at 

Air Force activities worldwide. New accessions include significant artifacts from the F-117 “Nighthawk” program as well as 

the Robin Olds Collection. 1,492 objects were deaccessioned from the collection as having been determined not to meet 

historic property criteria, were in poor condition, or were transferred to other federal historical activities. As part of the 

NMUSAF’s active collection management process, the accession and deaccession of objects is continuous. The NMUSAF 

is fully accredited by the American Association of Museums. 

 

The overall condition of the historic collection, which is primarily located at the NMUSAF, is very good as a result of both the 

professional care from trained conservators and ever improving exhibit/storage conditions. During FY 2010 restoration was 

completed on the museum’s F-84E “Thunderjet” which is now a centerpiece exhibit in the newly completed Korean War 

Gallery. Detailed restoration work has continued on the iconic Boeing B-17D “Swoose” and Boeing B-17F “Memphis Belle”. 

Work has also commenced on a Sikorsky HH-3 “Jolly Green Giant” helicopter with a notable combat history as part of the 

museum's upgrade of the War in Southeast Asia Gallery. 

Museum Collection Items, Fine Art: The National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF) holds an art 

collection containing original oils, drawings, sketches and sculptures that are in direct support of its exhibit requirements. 

These are separate from the holdings of the Air Force Art Program. Since the last report the NMUSAF has added 42 items 

and deleted 64 items which were determined not to meet fine art criteria and transferred to reference library holdings or 

were transferred to other federal historical activities.

Information Related to Liabilities Not Covered by Budgetary Resources 

Liabilities Not Covered by Budgetary Resources include liabilities for which congressional action is needed before budgetary 

resources can be provided. 

The material amounts and sensitive areas included in Total Liabilities Not Covered by Budgetary Resources are categorized 

as not covered because there is no current or immediate appropriation available for liquidation. These liabilities will require 

resources funded from future year appropriations. The Air Force fully expects to receive the necessary resources to cover 

these liabilities in future years. 

Other Intragovernmental Liabilities are primarily comprised of FECA liabilities to the Department of Labor and other unfunded 

employment related liabilities. 

Other Nonfederal Liabilities are primarily comprised of the amounts recorded for unpaid leave earned to which an employee 

is entitled upon separation and for contingent liabilities which are probable and measurable and will require resources funded 

from future years’ appropriations. 

Military Retirement and Other Federal Employment Benefits consists of various employee actuarial liabilities not due and 

payable during the current fiscal year. These liabilities primarily consist of the amount recorded by employer agencies for the 

actuarial present value of future FECA benefits provided to federal employees or their beneficiaries as a result of work 

related deaths, disability, or occupational disease. Refer to Note 17, Military Retirement and Other Federal Employment 

Benefits, for additional details and disclosures.

Other Information Related to Environmental Liabilities 

An environmental liability is a probable and measurable future outflow or expenditure of resources that exists as of the 

financial reporting date for environmental cleanup costs resulting from past transactions or events. The Air Force 

acknowledges that liabilities can change for environmental cleanup costs to include (1) costs associated with environmental 

restoration of sites funded under the Air Force portion of the Defense Environmental Restorations Program (DERP); (2) 

corrective actions funded with other than DERP, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC); and (3) environmental costs 

associated with future closure or disposal of facilities, equipment, asbestos, and weapon systems. These costs include 

researching and determining the existence of hazardous waste; removing, containing, and/or disposing of hazardous waste 

from property; or material and property that consist of hazardous waste at the time of shutdown or disposal of the asset. 

Cleanup costs may include, but are not limited to, decontamination, decommissioning, site restoration, site monitoring, 

closure, and post closure costs related to Air Force operations that result in hazardous waste. 

The unrecognized portion of the estimated total cleanup costs associated with general property, plant, and equipment is 

$373.0 million. 

Applicable Laws and Regulations for Cleanup Requirements 

The Air Force is required to clean up contamination resulting from past waste disposal practices, leaks, spills and other past 

activity, which has created a public human health or environmental risk. Air Force does this in coordination with regulatory 

agencies, and if applicable, with other responsible parties. The Air Force is also required to recognize closure, post closure

and disposal costs for its Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) and environmental corrective action costs for current 

operations. The Air Force is responsible for tracking and reporting all required environmental information related to 

environmental restoration and corrective action, closure and disposal costs of PP&E, and environmental costs related to 

BRAC actions that have taken place in prior years. Applicable laws and regulations for cleanup requirements are: 

a) Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) 

b) Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) 

c) Clean Water Act 

d) Safe Drinking Water Act 

e) Clean Air Act 

f) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

g) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

h) Medical Waste Tracking Act 

i) Atomic Energy Act 

j) Nuclear Waste Policy Act 

k) Low Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act

Notes to the Principal Statements

Types of Environmental Liabilities Identified 

The Air Force has environmental liabilities for cleanup requirements for active installations: Installation Restoration 

Program, Building Demolition and Debris Removal, Military Munitions Response Program, and Environmental Corrective 

Action. The Air Force also has environmental liabilities for cleanup requirements at BRAC installations. Finally, the Air 

Force has identified environmental liabilities for closure and disposal of PP&E to include facilities, general equipment, 

asbestos, and weapon systems. All cleanup is done in coordination with regulatory agencies, other responsible parties, and 

current property owners. 

Methods for Assigning Estimated Total Cleanup Costs to Current Operating Periods 

The Air Force uses engineering estimates and independently validated models to estimate environmental cleanup costs. 

The models are either developed within the Remedial Action Cost Engineering Requirements application, or a historic 

comparable project, a specific bid, or an independent government cost estimate is referenced for the current project. The 

Air Force validates the models in accordance with DoD Instruction 5000.61 and uses the models to estimate environmental 

cleanup costs based on data received during a preliminary assessment and initial site investigation. The Air Force primarily 

uses engineering estimates after obtaining data during the remedial investigation/feasibility phase of the environmental 

project. 

Once the environmental cleanup cost estimates are complete, Air Force will comply with accounting standards to assign 

costs to current operating periods. The Air Force Accrued Environmental Restoration Liabilities is accounted for as a totally 

self contained program. All direct and indirect costs of the program are captured and reported. The Air Force has already 

expensed the costs for cleanup associated with General PP&E placed into service prior to October 1, 1997, unless the costs 

are intended to be recovered through user charges. If the costs are recovered through user charges, the Air Force 

expenses cleanup costs associated with that portion of the asset life that has passed since the General PP&E was placed 

into service. The Air Force systematically recognizes the remaining cost over the life of the assets. 

The accounting standards also require environmental liabilities recognized for closure and disposal requirements. Air Force 

has closure requirements or disposal liabilities at active installations. Closure and disposal liabilities for facilities (including 

landfills), asbestos, general equipment and weapon systems are estimated for the applicable inventory of real property, 

general equipment and weapon systems. Air Force uses a set of historical disposal factors to estimate the environmental 

disposal liability for each asset and the estimated closure and monitoring cost for landfills. The current liability for these

classes of assets is determined from the related disposal programs including the resources expected to be expended in the 

next year from prior and future budgets. 

For General PP&E placed into service after September 30, 1997, the Air Force expenses associated environmental costs 

systematically over the life of the asset using two methods: physical capacity for operating landfills and life expectancy in 

years for all other assets. The Air Force expenses the full cost to clean up contamination for Stewardship PP&E at the time 

the asset is placed into service. 

Nature of Estimates and the Disclosure of Information Regarding Possible Changes Due to Inflation, Deflation, 

Technology, or Applicable Laws and Regulations 

The Air Force is not aware of any pending changes to reported values of Environmental Liabilities but recognizes that 

changes may occur in the future due to changes in laws, regulations, changes in agreements with regulatory agencies, and 

advances in technology. 

Uncertainty Regarding the Accounting Estimates Used to Calculate the Reported Environmental Liabilities 

The environmental liabilities for the Air Force are based on accounting estimates, which require certain judgments and 

assumptions that are reasonable based upon information available at the time the estimates are calculated. The actual 

results may materially vary from the accounting estimates if agreements with regulatory agencies require remediation to a 

different degree than anticipated when calculating the estimates. Liabilities can be further affected if investigation of the 

environmental sites reveals contamination levels that differ from the estimate parameters. 

The Air Force has the potential to incur costs for restoration initiatives in conjunction with returning overseas Defense 

facilities to host nations. The Air Force is unable to provide a reasonable estimate at this time because the extent of 

required restoration is unknown.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

Intragovernmental Other Liabilities represent government contributions for employee benefits, and unemployment 

compensation. 

 

Nonfederal Other Liabilities reflects accrued moving allowance and miscellaneous expenses to contractors. 

Contingent Liabilities includes $648.8 million related to contracts authorizing progress payments based on cost as defined in 

the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). In accordance with contract terms, specific rights to the contractors’ work vests 

with the Federal Government when a specific type of contract financing payment is made. This action protects taxpayer funds 

in the event of contract nonperformance. These rights should not be misconstrued as rights of ownership. The Air Force is 

under no obligation to pay contractors for amounts greater than the amounts authorized in contracts until delivery and 

government acceptance. Due to the probability the contractors will complete their efforts and deliver satisfactory products, 

and because the amount of potential future payments are estimable, the Air Force has recognized a contingent liability for 

estimated future payments which are conditional pending delivery and government acceptance. 

 Total contingent liabilities for progress payments based on cost represent the difference between the estimated costs 

incurred to date by contractors and amounts authorized to be paid under progress payments based on cost provisions within 

the FAR. Estimated contractor-incurred costs are calculated by dividing the cumulative unliquidated progress payments 

based on cost by the contract-authorized progress payment rate. The balance of unliquidated progress payments based on 

cost is deducted from the estimated total contractor-incurred costs to determine the contingency amount. 

Estimation Methodology 

The Air Force General Counsel, through legal determination, assesses and categorizes all contingent legal liability cases that 

equal or exceed the materiality threshold set by Department of Defense Inspector General (DoDIG). For the remaining cases 

falling below the dollar materiality threshold set by DoDIG, they are considered in aggregate, if the total amount of the cases

equal or exceed the established materiality threshold. 

The Air Force General Counsel also solicits case data through quarterly data calls from the Air Force JAC (Judge Advocate 

Civil Lawsuits and Litigation Directorate). Air Force financial management personnel use the solicited case data which 

includes the current reporting year and each of the prior two years to estimate the amounts of probable and reasonably 

possible contingent liabilities. See Note 16 for detailed disclosure of contingent liabilities. 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

53

General Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

Air Force financial management personnel use a three year prior case analysis spreadsheet which was developed by the Air 

Force Audit Agency to calculate and estimate the amount of contingent liabilities (probable and reasonably possible) for 

reporting or disclosing in the quarterly financial statements. In cases where Air Force General Counsel discloses that a 

judgment has been awarded against the Air Force, these amounts will be reported on the Balance Sheet and within this note.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies 

 

The Air Force is a party in various administrative proceedings and legal actions related to claims for environmental damage, 

equal opportunity matters, and contractual bid protests. 

The Air Force has accrued contingent liabilities for legal actions where the Secretary of the Air Force General Counsel 

(SAF/GC) considers an adverse decision probable and the amount of loss measurable. In the event of an adverse judgment 

against the Government, some of the liabilities may be payable from the U.S. Treasury Judgment Fund. The Air Force 

records Judgment Fund liabilities in Note 12, Accounts Payable; and Note 15, Other Liabilities. 

Claims and litigation from Civil Law having a reasonably possible liability are estimated at $2.7 billion. Neither past payments 

nor the current contingent liability estimate provides a basis for accurately projecting the results of any individual lawsuit or 

claim. Since monetary judgments paid to civil litigants come from a judgment fund administrated by U.S. Treasury, it is 

uncertain that claims will become a liability to the Air Force. 

The amounts disclosed for litigation claims and assessments are fully supportable and must agree with Air Force’s legal 

representation letters and management summary schedule. 

The amount of obligations related to cancelled appropriations for which the reporting entity has a contractual commitment for 

payment is $712.8 million. 

The Air Force is a party in numerous individual contracts that contain clauses, such as price escalation, award fee payments, 

or dispute resolution, that may or may not result in a future outflow of expenditures. Currently, Air Force does not have a 

systemic process by which it captures or assesses these potential contingent liabilities; therefore, the amounts reported may 

not fairly present the Air Force’s contingent liabilities. 

The estimated probable liability amount of $766.4 million was recognized in Note 15 as contingent liabilities. 

The recognized contingent liability includes $648.8 million in estimated future contract financing payments that will be paid to 

contractors upon delivery and government acceptance. See Note 15 for additional details. 

In addition, Air Force recognized the total estimated probable liability for claims and litigation against the Air Force handled by 

the Civil Law and Litigation Directorate, as of September 30, 2010, valued at $117.5 million, included in Nonfederal 

Contingent Liabilities. As of September 30, 2010, the Air Force was party to 5,561 claims and litigation actions. This liability 

dollar amount recorded in the financial statements is an estimate based on the weighted average payout rate for the previous 

three years. There are only two types of cases where U.S. Treasury will seek reimbursements from the affected agency, the 

Contract Dispute Act cases and select Federal Government personnel disciplinary matters. 

The SAF/GC developed the estimating methodology for the contingent liabilities recognized in Note 15. 

In cases where SAF/GC disclosed that a judgment has been awarded against the Air Force, these amounts were reported on 

the Balance Sheet and within Note 15.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

Programs for which actuarial benefits are computed include the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), the expected 

liability for death, disability, medical, and miscellaneous costs for approved compensation cases, and a component for 

incurred but not reported claims. 

FECA liability is determined using a method that utilizes historical benefit payment patterns to predict 

the ultimate payments. The projected annual benefit payments are then discounted to present value using 

the Office of Management and Budget’s economic assumptions for 10-year U.S. Treasury notes and bonds. 

Interest rate assumptions utilized for discounting were as follows: 

 Discount Rates

 3.653% in Year 1 

 4.300% in Year 2 

 and thereafter 

To provide more specifically for the effects of inflation on the liability for future workers’ compensation benefits, wage inflation 

factors [Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs)] and medical inflation factors [Consumer Price Index Medical (CPIMs)] were 

applied to the calculation of projected future benefits. The actual rates for these factors for the charge back year (CBY) 2010 

were also used to adjust the methodology’s historical payments to current year constant dollars. 

The compensation COLAs and CPIMs used in the projections for various CBYs were as follows: 

CBY COLA CPIM

2010 N/A N/A 

2011 2.23% 3.45% 

2012 1.13% 3.43% 

2013 1.70% 3.64% 

2014 1.90% 3.66% 

2015 1.93% 3.73% 

and thereafter 

The model’s resulting projections were analyzed to ensure that the estimates were reliable. Analysis was based on four tests: 

(1) a sensitivity analysis of the model to economic assumptions, (2) a comparison of the percentage change in the liability 

amount by agency to the percentage change in the actual incremental payments, (3) a comparison of the incremental paid 

losses per case (a measure of case-severity) in CBY 2010 to the average pattern observed during the most current three 

charge back years, and (4) a comparison of the estimated liability per case in FY 2010 projection to the average pattern for 

the projections of the most recent three years. 

The Air Force’s actuarial liability for workers’ compensation benefits is developed and provided by Department of Labor at the 

end of each fiscal year. There is no change on a quarterly basis. 

Other Federal Employment Benefits is comprised of additional post employment benefits due and payable to military 

personnel.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

The $618.8 million Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 abnormal balance for the Family Housing and Military Construction program cost 

is driven by a larger than normal cost capitalization offset. 

Intragovernmental costs and revenue are related to transactions made between two reporting entities within the Federal 

Government. 

The Statement of Net Cost (SNC) represents the net cost of programs and organizations of the Federal Government 

supported by appropriations or other means. The intent of SNC is to provide gross and net cost information related to the 

amount of output or outcome for a given program or organization administered by a responsible reporting entity. The DoD’s 

current processes and systems do not capture and report accumulated costs for major programs based upon the 

performance measures as required by the Government Performance and Results Act. The DoD is in the process of 

reviewing available data and developing a cost reporting methodology as required by the Statement of Federal Financial 

Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 4, “Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government”, 

as amended by SFFAS No. 30, “Inter-entity Cost Implementation”. 

Public costs and revenues are exchange transactions made between the reporting entity and a nonfederal entity. 

The Air Force’s systems do not track intragovernmental transactions by customer at the transaction level. Buyer-side 

expenses are adjusted to agree with internal seller-side revenue. Expenses are generally adjusted by accruing additional 

accounts payable and expenses. 

The Air Force does not meet accounting standards and that information presented is based on budgetary obligations, 

disbursements, and collection transactions, as well as nonfinancial feeder systems adjusted to record known accruals for 

major items such as payroll expenses, accounts payable and environmental liabilities. 

The Air Force’s accounting systems generally do not capture information relative to heritage assets separately and distinctly 

from normal operations.

Note 19. Disclosures Related to the Statement of Changes in Net Position 

 

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

Other Financing sources, Other is comprised of unsupported adjustments to reconcile reported intragovernmental transfers, 

the majority of which are recorded at the Air Force Component level, as the respective federal partners could not be 

identified nor the transfers reconciled. 

The Appropriations Received on the Statement of Changes in Net Position (SCNP) does not agree with Appropriations 

Received on the Statement of Budgetary Resources (SBR) in the amount of $ 12 million. The difference is due to additional 

resources included in the Appropriations Received on the SBR. Refer to Note 20 for additional details. 

The eliminations column on SCNP will reflect zero dollars. In the SCNP, all offsetting balances (i.e. transfers-in and 

transfers-out, revenues, and expenses) for intradepartmental activity between earmarked and other (nonearmarked) funds 

are reported on the same lines. The eliminations column contains all appropriate elimination entries, which net to zero within

each respective line, except for intraentity imputed financing costs.

 Category A Category B Exempt 

Direct $93.9 billion $65.2 billion $1.7 million 

Reimbursable $6.9 billion $4.1 billion $0.1 million 

Intraentity Transactions 

The Statement of Budgetary Resources (SBR) includes intraentity transactions because the statements are presented as 

combined. 

Permanent Indefinite Appropriations 

Permanent indefinite appropriations are as follows (reference Note 23 for additional information): 

Department of the Air Force General Gift Fund [10 USC 2601(b)] 

Wildlife Conservation Fund [16 USC 670(a)] 

Air Force Cadet Fund [37 USC 725(s)] 

Legal limitations and time restrictions on the use of unobligated appropriation balances such as upward adjustments are 

provided under Public Law. 

Appropriations Received 

The Appropriations Received line item on the Statement of Changes in Net Position differs from that reported on SBR 

because Appropriations Received on the Statement of Changes in Net Position do not include dedicated appropriations and 

earmarked receipts. Dedicated appropriations and earmarked receipts are accounted for as either nonexchange revenue or 

donations and forfeitures of cash and cash equivalents. This resulted in a $12.2 million difference.

Relevant Information for Comprehension 

A fiduciary relationship may exist anytime a Federal Government entity collects or receives, and holds or makes disposition of 

assets in which a non-federal individual or entity has an ownership interest that the Federal Government must uphold. 

The relationship is based on statute or other legal authority and the fiduciary activity must be in furtherance of that relationship. 

The Air Force’s fiduciary activities primarily consist of the Savings Deposit Program (SDP). SDP was established to provide 

members of the uniformed services serving in a designated combat zone the opportunity to build their financial savings.

Yearly Investment in Research and Development

 ($ in millions)

Basic Research is the systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding of the fundamental 

aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications, processes, or 

products in mind. Basic Research involves the gathering of a fuller knowledge or understanding 

of the subject under study. Major outputs are scientific studies and research papers. 

Applied Research is the systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding necessary for 

determining the means by which a recognized and specific need may be met. It is the practical 

application of such knowledge or understanding for the purpose of meeting a recognized need. 

This research points toward specific military needs with a view toward developing and 

evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and determining their parameters. 

Major outputs are scientific studies, investigations, research papers, hardware components, 

software codes, and limited construction of, or part of, a weapon system, to include nonsystem 

specific development efforts. 

Development takes what has been discovered or learned from basic and applied research and 

uses it to establish technological feasibility, assessment of operability, and production capability. 

Development is comprised of the following five stages: 

1. Advanced Technology Development is the systematic uses of the knowledge or 

understanding gained from research directed towards proof of technological visibility and 

assessment of operational and productivity rather than the development of hardware for service 

use. Employs demonstration activities intended to prove or test a technology or method.

2. Advanced Component Development and Prototypes evaluates integrated technologies in 

as realistic an operating environment as possible to assess the performance or cost reduction 

potential of advanced technology. Programs in this phase are generally system specific. Major 

outputs of Advanced Component Development and Prototypes are hardware and software 

components, or complete weapon systems, ready for operational and developmental testing and 

field use. 

3. System Development and Demonstration concludes the program or project and prepares 

it for production. It consists primarily of preproduction efforts, such as logistics and repair 

studies. Major outputs are weapon systems finalized for complete operational and 

developmental testing. 

4. Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Management Support is support for 

installations and operations for general research and development use. This category includes 

costs associated with test ranges, military construction maintenance support for laboratories, 

operations and maintenance of test aircraft and ships, and studies and analyses in support of the 

R&D program. 

5. Operational Systems Development is concerned with development projects in support of 

programs or upgrades still in engineering and manufacturing development, which have received 

approval for production, for which production funds have been budgeted in subsequent fiscal 

years. 

The following are representative program examples for each of the above major categories: 

Basic Research: 

The Air Force supported research on nanocomposite material called a thermopower wave, which 

may convert chemical energy to fuel cells for micro-machines, sensors, and emergency 

communication beacons. The promising technology is generating attention because it is 100% 

non-toxic, saves energy, and can create a significant amount of power in tiny batteries—up to ten 

times as much as commercial batteries. 

Basic research has demonstrated the world's smallest semiconductor laser which may have 

applications to the Air Force in communications, computing, and bio-hazard detection. The 

semiconductor, called a plasmon, can focus light the size of a single protein in a space that is 

smaller than half its wavelength while maintaining laser-like qualities that allow it to not 

dissipate over time. This important discovery has the potential to eliminate optical loss and 

make plasmonic-based technologies viable for a broad spectrum of applications. The next 

generation of plasmonic lasers, called nanolasers, is even expected to probe and manipulate 

molecules, which will advance ultra-sensitive bio-detection and nanoscale optics, benefiting 

optics-based telecommunications, optical computing, and healthcare.

Applied Research: 

In-house applied research scientists have made a breakthrough in crystal growth of bulk gallium 

nitride (GaN). Employing ammonothermal crystal growth methods, they have grown lowdefect-density bulk GaN crystals that replicate the high quality of “seed” crystals from which 

they were grown. GaN-based semiconductors are emerging as the materials of choice for nextgeneration high-power RF and microwave transistors; for LEDs, lasers, and detectors for 

ultraviolet through green wavelengths; and for white-light replacements for incandescent and 

fluorescent lamps. 

The Harsh Environment Fuze Technology (HEFTY) program developed the capability to model, 

characterize, design, and test fuzes and fuze components in harsh environments based on 

requirements for current and future munitions. This program improved the definition of the 

mechanical environment that exists in penetrating weapons to enable an improvement in fuze 

reliability. It also provides the foundation for future higher velocity penetrators for increased 

capabilities. 

Advanced Technology Development: 

The Air Force’s X-51A Scramjet Engine Demonstrator-Waverider successfully completed the 

longest supersonic combustion ramjet- (scramjet-) powered hypersonic flight on May 26, 2010, 

on the Pt Mugu Test Range, California. The demonstrator vehicle's scramjet engine lit and 

sustained combustion on JP-7 jet fuel for 143 seconds, breaking the previous record of 13 

seconds set by NASA's X-43A Hyper-X in 2004 by 11 times, and quadrupling the total amount 

of in-flight scramjet engine time out of all US hypersonic air breathing flights. The main 

objective of the X-51A program is to flight test the Air Force hypersonic technology (HyTech) 

scramjet engine, developed in the late 90s and early 2000s, to accelerate a vehicle from boost 

(approximately Mach 4.5) to Mach 6+. Additional objectives included collecting flight data on 

scramjet operation, proving the viability of a hydrocarbon fuel-cooled scramjet, and 

demonstrating the vehicle produced greater thrust than drag. 

Geodesic Dome Phased Array Antenna (GDPAA) Technology Transition: The GDPAA 

Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) is part of a multi-phase activity to upgrade the Air 

Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN). By replacing large dish antennas with advanced 

phased array antennas, GDPAA will greatly improve satellite communication links for the 

AFSCN. The phased-array technology will provide more flexible and reliable satellite telemetry, 

tracking and commanding capabilities for the Air Force. 

As part of efforts to reduce the U.S. military's reliance on foreign energy sources, the Air Force 

continued certification of the alternative jet fuel blend of JP-8 with up to 50% synthetic kerosene 

produced by the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process. The FT process can use coal, natural gas, 

biomass or a combination of them to produce liquid fuel, and will provide potential sources for 

jet fuel in addition to petroleum. The FT certification effort is part of the Pentagon’s Assured 

Fuel Initiative, in which the Air Force plans to certify all of its systems which use jet fuel to be 

able to use the FT blend by early 2011. USAF-certified aircraft now include C-5, C-130, C/KC-

135, E-3, F-4, F-15, F-16, F-22, H-60, T-6, in addition to the F-15, F-22, B-52, C-17 and B-1 

reported certified last year. In addition, the B-2, H-1, and E-8 certification is imminent. Field 

service evaluations to identify longer term effects of the blended, fuel were successfully 

completed on a representative example of USAF’s fueling infrastructure with no negative effects 

found. Additional longer term use evaluations are being planned for both the F-16 and the C130. The Air Force collaborated with the FAA and Industry in the development and final 

approval by ASTM International of a new commercial specification for aviation fuel allowing up 

to 50% FT synthetic kerosene in commercial Jet A and Jet A-1 fuels (ASTM D-7566, "Aviation 

Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons"- December 1, 2009). Consistent with this 

change and the USAF effort to harmonize the commercial and JP-8 jet fuel specifications, a 

change to the JP-8 specification (MIL-DTL-83133G) was implemented on Apr 30, 2010, 

authorizing up to 50% of USAF fuel identified as “JP-8” to contain up to 50% FT synthetic 

kerosene. Based on these approved standards, the Air Force completed certification of all of its 

Commercial Derivative Aircraft (CDAs) without requiring any additional dedicated testing. In 

addition, the Air Force has initiated certification activities for another near-term potential nonpetroleum fuel blend; its blend stocks are derived from biological fats and oils. This class of fuel 

blend stocks is termed Hydroprocessed Renewable Jet (HRJ) fuel, which, when blended up to 

50% with JP-8, will provide the Air Force with sustainable options for reducing the use of 

petroleum fuels. Thus far, the F110 and F100 engines have successfully completed testing of 

representatives of this fuel class in the test cells at Arnold Engineering Development Center. 

Also, these fuels have successfully powered flights by A-10 and C-17 aircraft at Eglin AFB and 

Edwards AFB respectively. The fuel has, thus far, functioned just like JP-8, as expected; and 

fleet certification is on track for mid FY12. 

Demonstration and Validation (Advanced Component Development and Prototypes): 

The Air Force’s Advanced Component Development and Prototypes programs are comprised of 

system specific advanced technology integration efforts accomplished in an operational 

environment to help expedite transition from the effort. In FY 2004, the Air Force successfully 

demonstrated Fighter Aircraft Command and Control Enhancement (FACE). FACE provides an 

improved, beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) command and control link with fighter aircraft by 

integrating Iridium telephone communications equipment with existing aircraft communications 

equipment. BLOS capability has traditionally been provided by low-density, high-demand 

airborne platforms acting as communications relays. FACE provides relief for these overworked 

assets, while allowing combatant commanders to maintain positive control of the battle space. 

FACE has been approved for deployment to Afghanistan through the Air Force's Rapid 

Response Process, and has the potential for extensive use in virtually any area of responsibility, 

including Homeland Defense.

In FY 2005, the Air Force restructured and refocused the Space Radar (SR) program (formerly 

Space Based Radar) to address congressional concerns with technical risk, affordability, and 

DoD-IC integration. In January 2005 the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central 

Intelligence signed a joint memo designating the SR program as the single space radar capability 

for the nation. In May 2007, the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Principal Deputy Director 

of National Intelligence signed the Joint Radar Enterprise Memorandum, agreeing to a joint

funding arrangement, acquisition strategy, and management structure. The details of this 

arrangement are being captured in the Joint Radar Enterprise Management Plan. The SR Initial 

Capabilities Document (ICD) was approved by the IC Mission Requirements Board (MRB) in 

December 2005 and the DoD Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) in January 2006. 

The Capability Development Document is being prepared in parallel with the SR system concept 

of operations (CONOPS); both are on track for MRB and JROC approval in 1st Quarter, 

FY 2009. The SR program implemented a demonstration framework approach to system 

development. This approach will further technology maturity risk reduction and CONOPS 

experimentation through a mix of space, air, and land-based demonstration activities that will 

maximize existing assets. The SR program continues to make significant advancement towards 

the System Requirements Review milestone. The SR program will provide day/night, allweather global surface moving target indications (MTI), SAR, and high-resolution terrain 

information (HRTI) capabilities from a space-based platform. Initial launch capability is 

planned for 4th Quarter, FY 2016. 

System Development and Demonstration: 

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program is developing a family of strike fighter aircraft for 

the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and our allies, with maximum commonality among the 

variants to minimize life cycle costs. The Air Force Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL) 

variant will be a multi-role, primary air-to-ground aircraft to replace the F-16 and A-10, and 

complement the F-22. While the F-22 will establish air dominance, the F-35 with its 

combination of stealth, large internal payloads and multi-spectral avionics will provide persistent 

stealth and precision engagement to future battle space. The F-35 is in the 9th year of a 15-year 

Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) effort. President’s Budget, FY 2011, 

significantly restructured the F-35 program, decreasing procurement by 122 aircraft across the 

FYDP and extending EMD to March 2016. A subsequent Critical Nunn-McCurdy breach has 

driven a further, still on-going, examination of the program which will likely drive additional 

changes. Significant program accomplishments in FY 2010 include: 

 

x 19 of 20 flight and ground test aircraft produced 

x 7 flight test aircraft ferried: 4 STOVLs, 2 CTOLs, 1 CTOL at China Lake; 7 

flight test aircraft still to ferry 

x 370 of 333 planned flight test sorties and 4910 of 4570 planned test points as 

of 31 Aug 2010 

x Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lot 3 contracts for 7 AF CTOLs & 7 

Navy STOVLs awarded to Lockheed on 2 Jun 09 and P&W on 22 Jul 09 

The Transformational Satellite Communications (TSAT) system will provide the essential 

capabilities required to enable the DoD’s vision for 21st century military operations. TSAT,

centers, and associated ground architecture, will establish global internet-like connectivity that is 

essential for U.S. and allied personnel to communicate as a joint networked force. It will also 

extend assured, protected communications connectivity to mobile forces in theater and vastly 

increase the overall capacity of our military satellite infrastructure. 

FY 2007 has proven to be a milestone year for TSAT. The program made excellent progress in 

demonstrating the maturity of its critical technology elements by successfully completing the 

third of three demonstrations at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL), testing each competing 

contractor’s proposed Laser Communications (or ‘lasercom’) and next-generation satellite 

processor/router (NGPR) equipment. The program also completed a successful four-week 

system design review (SDR), where the government assessed the viability of the architecture 

designs for each competing contractor on the satellite segment and on the TSAT Mission 

Operations System (TMOS) ground segment, whose contract was awarded in January 2006. 

Based upon the extent and success of risk reduction efforts accomplished thus far on this 

program, TSAT is prepared to meet a Key Decision Point-B (KDP-B) milestone in order to gain 

Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) acceptance to proceed into the Preliminary Design Phase 

of the program’s acquisition cycle. In preparation for the KDP-B decision, several in-depth 

reviews were performed this summer on TSAT, including an Independent Program Assessment, 

an Independent Cost Evaluation, and a Technical Readiness Assessment. The underlying result 

of these detailed reviews was that the program structure, budgeting, and technical development 

are well defined, properly managed and mature enough to support the initiation of preliminary 

design activities. Additionally, in June 2007, the TSAT program released a Request for 

Proposals (RFP) on the space segment development contract. The Air Force is reviewing bids 

from multiple contractors. 

TSAT is extending its risk reduction efforts with a revised goal of a KDP-B review in 

October 2008. TSAT awarded the space segment contract in FY 2009, starting its satellite 

design work and continuing the development of the TMOS segment. The launch of the first 

TSAT is targeted for 3rd Quarter, FY 2018. 

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Management Support: 

The Air Force’s Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Management Support 

efforts include projects directed toward support of installations and operations required for 

testing at the Air Force Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) Activities. The projects 

include test ranges, maintenance support of laboratories, operation and maintenance of test 

aircraft, and studies and analyses in support of the research and development program. 

An example of Air Force RDT&E management support is the Major Test and Evaluation 

Investment program, which funds the planning, improvements and modernization for three 

MRTFB Activities that are national test assets with unique test facilities/capabilities operated and 

maintained by the Air Force for the DoD test and evaluation missions, and is available to others 

having a requirement for their unique capabilities. Many efforts are contained within the Air 

Force Major Test and Evaluation Investment program. An example of a project accomplished in

this program is the Armament/Munitions Digital Modeling and Simulation project. The 

objectives of the AMDMS project were to develop, verify, and validate a set of reusable 

models/simulations to support future air armament T&E through the systematic selection of 

models developed by Laboratories, Air Armament Center (AAC) components, and contractors. 

It accomplished this by improving existing digital modeling and simulation (DMS) tools, and 

developing new DMS capabilities that were interoperable, integrateable, portable; and with a full 

range of resolution and response time to meet the needs of the T&E customer. 

Major accomplishments of the AMDMS project spanned the five thrust areas of Endgame, 

Survivability/Effectiveness, Aircraft Compatibility, Directed Energy, and Hypersonics. Perhaps 

the premier product of the project was the development of an engineering-level M&S software 

framework called Endgame Framework (EF), providing an advanced pre-test prediction and 

post-test analysis capability unlike any other. The EF manages the ever-increasing complexity of 

smart weapon system lethality/target vulnerability analysis by allowing interoperable and 

extensible endgame simulations. Legacy, previously stand-alone methodologies such as 

Modular Effectiveness Vulnerability Assessment (MEVA), Point-burst Damage Assessment 

Model (PDAM), Fast Air Target Encounter Penetration (FATEPEN), and Uncontained Engine 

Debris Damage Assessment Model (UEDDAM) are just a few of the methodologies that were 

upgraded during the AMDMS project and integrated within the EF, providing a unique 

lethality/vulnerability analytical capability. Other analytical endgame methodologies, such as 

Laser Effects Weapon Analysis Tool (LEWAT) and Radio Frequency Propagation, 

Transmission, and Effects Code (RFPROTEC), supporting non-traditional damage effects such 

as those found in the directed energy area, were also upgraded and integrated within the EF 

environment. Some of the lethality/vulnerability methodologies supporting joint warfighter 

weaponeering requirements, such as the Joint Munition Effectiveness Model (JMEM) and Joint 

RF Effects Model (JREM), also reaped benefits indirectly from the improvement and 

modernization efforts of the AMDMS project. Other accomplishments as part of the Aircraft 

Compatibility thrust area, supporting both T&E, and an added benefit to warfighter requirements 

was the improvements made to the SEEK EAGLE capabilities. Significant upgrades were made 

to the six degree-of-freedom simulation to support store separation analysis and flight 

certification, as well as improvements to the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation 

capability and automation of the computerized physical fit (CPF) methodology. Additional 

SEEK EAGLE capability upgrades included the development of a computational ElectroMagnetics Effects (EME) tool for counter-electronic weapons analysis and a finite element radar 

cross section tool for high powered microwave engagement analysis (TEMPUS). Under the 

Survivability/Effectiveness thrust area, major improvements to the integrated threat missile and 

radar system as part of the Joint Gulf Range Threat Integration (JGRTI) environment were 

completed. These improvements provide a live/virtual/constructive distributed simulation 

capability that supports Blue aircraft susceptibility and survivability analysis in the munitions 

development T&E, as well as joint training exercise environments. Finally, in support of the 

Hypersonics thrust area managed by the AMDMS partner at AEDC, improvements to test 

instrumentation and hypersonics engineering methodologies were completed. These addressed 

known deficiencies in wind-tunnel capabilities to satisfy new T&E requirements to support 

hypersonic munitions development.

Another example of Air Force RDT&E management support is the Threat Simulator 

Development program, which funds planning, improvements, and modernization of Electronic 

Warfare (EW) T&E capabilities. It supports EW ground test resources and Electronic Combat 

Intel. The Installed Test Integration Program (ITIP) is an accomplishment for this program. The 

412th Test Wing, EW Group, located at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards AFB, 

California, has developed an integrated, virtual battlespace essential for testing advanced state of 

the art systems. The Installed Test Integration Program (ITIP) provides the Avionics Test & 

Integration Complex (ATIC) with capabilities that are essential for successful testing of 

electronic combat systems and software intensive and highly integrated avionics platforms. The 

ATIC includes an anechoic chamber (Benefield Anechoic Facility [BAF]) along with equipment 

and laboratories that are capable of testing avionics systems installed on their host platforms. The 

BAF is host to a multitude of EW test and evaluation (T&E) resources, to include threat signal 

generation, communication, navigation, and identification, as well as capabilities and 

instrumentation to monitor, measure, and control the test environment. The ITIP integrates and 

enhances existing ATIC EW T&E resources to create a “realistic” electromagnetic test 

environment with correlated time and space effects in the RF spectrum. This virtual and 

constructive warfare T&E environment will be used in the development, test, and evaluation of 

highly advanced, integrated weapon systems. 

In FY10 the ITIP achieved the pinnacle of milestones – achieving operational status. The 

transition and turnover of the ITIP “system” to the using organization, 772d Test Squadron, was 

finalized in March 2010. This marked the end of a very successful improvement and 

modernization program within the EW Group. The ITIP not only provided a very much 

anticipated and needed test capability, but also upgraded several key elements of the BAF T&E 

infrastructure. First and foremost, the ITIP consolidated and upgraded the BAF test control room 

(TCR). Previous to the ITIP, test execution and control in the BAF was conducted from several 

sites. This was sufficient for small and simple test efforts. But as the complexity of the system 

under test (SUT) increased, so did the need for a greater ability to monitor, measure, analyze, and 

control the test environment. Under the ITIP, the BAF test operations center was expanded, a 

variety of equipment was collocated and replaced with state-of-the-art, and the new TCR became 

a reality. The TCR went operational in 2007. In concert with the upgrades to the TCR, 

improvements to the BAF capability to capture and process test data were also completed under 

the ITIP. Modifications to the data capture, processing, and analysis laboratory provided a 

number of improvements in operations efficiencies: 1) eliminating shared resources provided the 

ability to conduct real-time data capture and post-test data analysis simultaneously; 2) 

consolidating equipment racks freed up floor space to allow installation of additional work 

stations for data processing and analysis; 3) upgrades to computer hardware and software to 

permit faster and more integrated operations. The new data lab went operational in 2008. 

Overall, the ITIP has provided significant improvements in the way and means in which testing 

is conducted in the BAF. The major accomplishment of the ITIP was development of the ITIP 

architecture. The architecture was designed to meet the requirements of integrating a variety of 

stimulators, instrumentation and simulations that have been developed without the benefit of a 

unifying architecture dictating the individual designs. The overall objective of the ITIP 

architecture was to integrate and enhance the existing Electronic Combat Integrated Test (ECIT)

Operational Systems Development: 

The Air Force’s operational system efforts include projects in support of development 

acquisition programs or upgrades. The F-22 Raptor program continued full rate production, and 

will maintain its role as the key enabler of joint air dominance through an incremental 

modernization program funded through Operational Systems Development activities. Through 

FY 2010 167 aircraft have been delivered. Increment 2 is resident in delivered aircraft and 

represents the first upgrade over initial operational capability. The modernization program will 

enhance the air vehicle, engine, and training systems to improve F-22A weapons, 

communications, and Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to further 

enhance Global Strike capabilities. FY 2010 activities included development of the Increment 3 

suite. DT is essentially finished and FOT&E 3 will begin early in CY 2011. A Capability 

Requirements Review (CRR) for Increment 3.2 focused on dramatically improving the F-22A 

Raptor’s Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground attack capabilities with AIM-9X, AIM-120D, full, Small 

Diameter Bomb capability, electronic protection updates. 

The Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) Phase 3 (AIM-120C-7) was 

approved for fielding in December 2007. Production for this variant began in 4th Quarter, 

FY 2004, and was completed in 3rd Quarter, FY 2009. The AIM-120C-7 provides a major 

upgrade over the AIM-120C-6 guidance section, particularly in the use of circular processor 

cards over previously used rectangular cards. These cards provide significant space savings 

within the missile for added capability, in addition to providing greater processing power. 

AMRAAM Phase 4 (AIM-120D) builds on the AIM-120C-7 capability and is progressing. This 

new AIM-120D missile will add a GPS/INU and a 2-way Data Link to enhance accuracy and 

control, and thus, increase weapon effectiveness. In addition, the AIM-120D will have increased 

range and third party targeting which expands the High Off-boresight launch envelope. The 

SDD contract was awarded in December 2003. Captive flight testing is going-on on the F/A18C/D and F-15C/D. EMD was accomplished in September 2009 with the completion of the 

Functional Configuration Audit (FCA). Proof-of-design units and proof-of-manufacturing units 

are being used to support simulation/integration labs, production test equipment development, 

and ground and flight tests. Production for AIM-120D started in 2nd Quarter, FY 2009 and will 

continue through FY 2024. Operational testing began in Jan 10 with a combined DT/OT 

program to mature missile and aircraft operational flight programs (OFP). Two of three DT/OT 

shots were successfully accomplished – one a direct hit and the other a lethal fuze. The third 

DT/OT shot and the Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR) has been delayed until several 

issues have been resolved and the program receives Program Executive Officer (PEO) approval 

to proceed. 

The Small Diameter Bomb II (SDB II) program is a joint Air Force/Navy interest program that 

will use a tri-mode seeker and weapon data link to fill a critical capability gap by providing a 

stand-off, target classification and in-weather capability against moving targets. The SDB II 

weapon program will retain the SDB I legacy capability against fixed surface target, improved 

GPS anti-jam capability and denied sanctuary of weather for adversary moving targets. The 

42-month Risk Reduction competition between two contractors that commenced in May 2006 to

mature critical technologies for an all-up-round design ended in October 2009. Following the 

Risk Reduction Phase, a single contractor was selected to complete an approximately 59 month 

EMD contract with production options. The Milestone B review occurred 27 Jul 2010, with 

Critical Design Review scheduled for the first half of FY11. Production for SDB II is scheduled 

to start FY 2014 and continue through FY2023. Required Assets Available on the F-15E is 

planned for FY2016. 

The SDB I Focused Lethality Munition (FLM), a variant of SDB I, is a Joint Capabilities 

Technology Development (JCTD) program that effectively demonstrates the military utility for 

prosecuting high-value targets by generating near-field blast effects in a high collateral risk 

environment. The SDB I FLM has a composite-cased warhead with a Multi-phase Blast 

Explosive to reduce fragmentation effects while increasing blast effects. This low collateral 

damage warhead was integrated into the SDB I weapon. The Military Utility Assessment was 

successfully completed in June 2008 with positive feedback in all areas. The FLM capability 

will increase combatant commanders’’ strike options, particularly in an urban environment, 

while decreasing collateral damage risk. This JCTD fully leverages the SDB I program to 

facilitate rapid acquisition, with delivery of 50 residual assets in February 2008. An additional 

100 residual assets were delivered in FY10, with the final 100 scheduled for delivery in FY11. 

Reaper (MQ-9) UAV Program 

The MQ-9 Reaper UAV program is continuing development of the capability to instantaneously 

derive and disseminate JDAM-quality coordinates from the aimpoint of its electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) full motion video sensor. Sensor improvements include development of a precise 

attitude reference system coupled with an off-the-shelf two color eye-safe laser 

rangefinder/designator plus development of an accurately timed metadata system. Aircraft will 

be modified with a new guidance system incorporating differential GPS. Fielding is scheduled 

to begin in FY13. Follow-on development will provide a capability for instantaneous JDAMquality data for all pixels within the EO/IR image. 

Liberty Project Aircraft (MC-12W) program: 

In FY2010, the Air Force delivered 30 MC-12W aircraft to the warfighter for deployment to 

OEF/OIF. These aircraft are flown by three expeditionary reconnaissance squadrons and provide 

critical full motion video and signals intelligence information real-time to commanders and 

ground forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The first aircraft was delivered seven months after 

contract award and deployed to OIF two months later. All 30 aircraft delivered to the theater 

within 13 months vastly increasing the amount of full motion video available and augmenting the 

U.S. Air Force’s unmanned aircraft. This delivery made the MC-12W the fastest weapon system 

delivered from concept to combat since World War II. As of 1 September 2010, the deployed 

Liberty aircraft have logged 6,877 combat sorties in direct support of CENTCOM.

Global Hawk (RQ-4) Test program: 

In FY2010 the Global Hawk flight test program moved sensor production acceptance criteria 

flights to Beale AFB. This allowed the Combined Test Force to concentrate on development 

flight testing at Edwards AFB. The first Block 40 aircraft completed initial envelope expansion 

flight tests without the Radar Technology Insertion Program (RTIP) sensor in FY 2010. RTIP 

sensor development flight testing on the Proteus aircraft will complete in the fall 2010. RTIP 

sensor integration, ground checkout and acceptance testing on the Block 40 aircraft will follow. 

In support of JUON 336, the Battle Field Airborne Communications Node (BACN) development 

and flight testing was accelerated on two Block 20 aircraft in order to provide much needed 

communications support to the warfighter. Those BACN aircraft are scheduled to deploy to 

CENTCOM in the early fall. 

Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) 

The Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft continues to modernize its 

mission capabilities to remain an effective airborne battle management and surveillance system 

for command and control of combat forces. The Block 40/45 Upgrade improves the quality and 

timeliness of sensor data for shooters, improves combat identification, supports a Single 

Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) through multi-sensor integration, improves the AWACS 

contribution to Time Critical Targeting via Data Link Infrastructure, improves electronic support 

measures processing, and enables more effective, faster upgrades via an open system, Ethernetbased architecture. Block 40/45 will begin modifying its first LRIP aircraft in Nov 2010. The 

Next Generation Identification Friend or Foe (NGIFF) effort provides AWACS with a secure 

Mode 5 capability. NGIFF continued software development for the Block 30/35 aircraft and 

began development and operational testing. The Engineering and Manufacturing Development 

(EMD) contract award for the Block 40/45 version of NGIFF is planned for Oct 2010. The 

AWACS program completed technology development for the Diminishing Manufacturing 

Sources (DMS) Replacement of Avionics for Global Operations and Navigation (DRAGON) 

modification and plans to award an EMD contract in FY11. DRAGON’s EMD effort is a 

cooperative development effort with the NATO AWACS program, which will provide aircraft 

that satisfy international airspace and air traffic control mandates. The AWACS program is also 

continuing risk reduction efforts on multiple fronts to satisfy the high bandwidth and Beyond 

Line of Sight (BLOS) requirements of the battle space. These efforts will assure that AWACS 

remains a relevant combat partner on the joint battlefield.

Heritage Assets are items of historical, natural, cultural, educational, or artistic significance 

(e.g., aesthetic), or items with significant architectural characteristics.

1. Buildings and Structures 

As of September 30, 2010, the Air Force considers 8,952 buildings and structures as National 

Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listed and eligible “Heritage Assets.” Many of these are 

Capehart-Wherry Era (CWE) houses (3,886), which are subject to a 2008 nationwide Program 

Comment (with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation) that allows the Air Force to 

demolish or otherwise remove all but three CWE houses from the Air Force Inventory. 

Demolition continues, with 1,298 CWE houses razed in FY 2010 (from the total 5,184 

reported at the end of FY 2009). 

The Air Force has 5,066 non-CWE buildings and structures considered Heritage Assets. 

Of these, 1,314 are listed on NRHP and 3,752 are eligible for listing on NRHP. 
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

General Fund

Required Supplementary Information

Beginning March 2007, Air Force successfully completed three service-wide data calls to 

validate Heritage Asset information via populating the Automated Civil Engineer SystemReal Property (ACES-RP) database (i.e., Air Force’s Real Property Inventory). ACES-RP 

now designates/classifies the historic status of heritage assets (~11,000 historic buildings, 

structures, and districts) and appears to meet requirements. ACES-RP was initially designed 

to identify only those heritage assets/historic properties that were nominated and formally 

listed on the NRHP. Heritage assets now are considered listed and eligible buildings and 

structures. ACES-RP contains validated heritage asset data for 12 Historic Status Codes 

defined by the DoD. 

Heritage Asset buildings and structures are maintained by each base civil engineering group 

and are considered to be in good condition. These buildings and structures are subject to 

National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106 review and consultation requirements 

whenever Air Force undertakings might affect their historic characteristics. Section 106 

reviews ensure State Historic Preservation Officers, tribal, and other party concerns are taken 

into account when Air Force decides to adversely affect Heritage Asset buildings and 

structures. 

2. Archaeological Sites 

As of September 30, 2010, the Air Force has 2,195 archaeological sites listed on or eligible 

for listing on the NRHP. Eligible and listed sites (Heritage Assets) are protected from 

vandalism and looting, and are maintained in good condition on Air Force installations. 

Heritage Asset archaeological sites are subject to NRHP Section 106 review and consultation 

when affected by Air Force undertakings. Section 106 reviews ensure State Historic 

Preservation Officers, tribal, and other party concerns are taken into account when Air Force 

decides to adversely affect Heritage Asset archaeological sites. All Heritage Asset and 

unevaluated archaeological sites are managed to prevent significant losses due to erosion and 

other natural causes. 

The table shows 347 archaeological sites were added to the heritage asset list during FY 2010. 

3. Museum Collection Items, Objects Not Including Fine Art

This represents the number of objects which meet the criteria for historical property as 

defined in Air Force Instruction 84-103 and that have been evaluated, accessioned, and 

catalogued in the Air Force national historic collection. The National Museum of the United 

States Air Force (NMUSAF) performs inherently governmental functions by fulfilling 

statutory requirements properly delegated by the Secretary of the Air Force for management 

of the Air Force’s national historic collection. During FY 2010, 5,047 objects have been 

added to the collection. These additions are a result of private donations, transfers from other 

federal entities, curatorial administrative actions, and the documentation of previously 

unreported artifacts at Air Force activities worldwide. New accessions include significant 

artifacts from current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. One-thousand, four-hundred and 

ninety-two objects were deaccessioned from the collection as having been determined not to

meet historic property criteria, were in poor condition, or were transferred to other federal 

historical activities. 

The overall condition of the historic collection, which is primarily located at the NMUSAF, is 

very good as a result of both the professional care from trained conservators and constantly 

improving exhibit/storage conditions. During FY 2010 restoration were completed on the 

museum’s F-84E “Thunderjet” which is now a centerpiece exhibit in the newly completed 

Korean War Gallery. Detailed restoration work has continued on the iconic Boeing B-17D 

“Swoose” and Boeing B-17F “Memphis Belle.” Work has also commenced on a Sikorsky 

HH-3 “Jolly Green Giant” helicopter with a notable combat history as part of the museum’s 

upgrade of the War in Southeast Asia Gallery. 

4. Museum Collection Items, Fine Art 

The art collection contains original oils, drawings, sketches and sculptures. Since the last 

report the Air Force Art Collection has received 42 newly donated paintings. Sixty-four items 

were determined not to meet fine art criteria and transferred to reference library holdings or 

were transferred to other federal historical activities. 

The collection is maintained and kept in good condition. Each year during the annual 

inventory, Air Force Art Program Office requests the condition of the paintings as well. 

Maintenance continues to be a constant.

Use of Q-Rating versus Facilities Sustainment Model (FSM) to reflect Deferred Sustainment 

The use of Q-Rating as a basis for calculated deferred maintenance is not prudent. The Service’s 

Q-Rating database has not sufficiently matured compared with the FSM dataset. 

At this stage of Q-Rating planning and development, facility Q-Ratings cannot be readily tied to 

actual obligations nor do they provide a consistent service-wide metric based on commercial 

standards. 

 Based on previous submissions, the use of FSM to benchmark facility requirements has proven 

itself in the Air Force Corporate Structure (AFCS) process by yielding data constancy and high 

fidelity. FSM can be linked to actual obligations, is consistent across the services, and uses 

commercial standards in its development, which provides the stability and credibility needed to 

defend program funding requirements in AFCS. 

 The inclusion of the “A” factor to represent “acceptable operating condition” is not currently valid. 

At this time, there is no dataset which can be used to underpin target Q-Rating percentages or to 

identify acceptable operating conditions for specific Air Force facilities. 

At A=100%, the FY 2010 accumulated deferred sustainment based on Q-Ratings is $21.7 billion as 

noted above. Although a backlog of $21.7 billion obviously appears significant, this considerably 

large requirement adds little value to AFCS decision-making process. From our experience, AFCS 

will immediately question such a large backlog if used to defend our budget shortfalls. Variable 

"A" factors would need to be developed to make the proposed deferred maintenance concept 

feasible.

The FY 2010 Department of the Air Force Working Capital Fund Principal Statements 

and related notes are presented in the format prescribed by the Department of Defense 

Financial Management Regulation 7000.14-R, Volume 6B. The statements and related notes 

summarize fi nancial information for individual activity groups and activities within the

Working Capital Fund for the fi scal year ending September 30, 2010, and are presented on 

a comparative basis with information previously reported for the fi scal year ending

September 30, 2009.

The following statements comprise the Department of the Air Force Working Capital Fund 

Principal Statements:

Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Consolidated Balance Sheet presents as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 those 

resources owned or managed by the Air Force which are available to provide future

economic benefi ts (assets); amounts owed by the Air Force that will require payments

from those resources or future resources (liabilities); and residual amounts retained by 

the Air Force, comprising the difference (net position).

Consolidated Statement of Net Cost

The Consolidated Statement of Net Cost presents the net cost of the Air Force’s operations

for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The Air Force’s net cost of operations

includes the gross costs incurred by the Air Force less any exchange revenue earned from 

Air Force activities.

Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Position

The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Position presents the change in the 

Air Force’s net position resulting from the net cost of Air Force’s operations, budgetary 

fi nancing sources other than exchange revenues, and other fi nancing sources for the years 

ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Combined Statement of Budgetary Resources

The Combined Statement of Budgetary Resources presents the budgetary resources 

available to the Air Force during FY 2010 and 2009, the status of these resources at 

September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the outlay of budgetary resources for the years ended 

September 30, 2010 and 2009.

The Principal Statements and related notes have been prepared to report fi nancial position

pursuant to the requirements of the Chief Financial Offi cers Act of 1990, the Government 

Management Reform Act of 1994, and the Offi ce of Management and Budget’s Circular

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

1.A. Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared to report the financial position and results of operations of the Air Force Working 

Capital Fund (AFWCF), as required by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, expanded by the Government Management 

Reform Act of 1994, and other appropriate legislation. The financial statements have been prepared from the books and records 

of the AFWCF in accordance with, and to the extent possible, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (USGAAP) 

promulgated by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board; the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular 

No. A-136, Financial Reporting Requirements; and the Department of Defense (DoD), Financial Management Regulation (FMR). 

The accompanying financial statements account for all resources for which the AFWCF is responsible unless otherwise noted. 

 

The AFWCF is unable to fully implement all elements of USGAAP and the OMB Circular No. 

A-136, due to limitations of financial and nonfinancial management processes and systems that support the financial statements. 

The AFWCF derives reported values and information for major asset and liability categories largely from nonfinancial systems, 

such as inventory and logistic systems. These systems were designed to support reporting requirements for maintaining 

accountability over assets and reporting the status of federal appropriations rather than preparing financial statements in 

accordance with USGAAP. The AFWCF continues to implement process and system improvements addressing these limitations. 

The AFWCF currently has eight auditor identified financial statement material weaknesses: (1) financial and nonfinancial feeder

systems do not contain an adequate audit trail for the proprietary and budgetary accounts, (2) AFWCF may have material 

amounts of account adjustments that are not adequately supported, (3) AFWCF cannot accurately identify all intragovernmental 

transactions by customer, which is required for eliminations when preparing consolidated financial statements, (4) the value of the 

AFWCF government furnished and contractor acquired materiel and equipment may not be accurately reported, (5) AFWCF 

General Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E) may not be accurately valued, (6) operating materiels and supplies (OM&S) are 

not reflected at historical cost, (7) cost of goods sold and work in progress are not recorded in accordance with the Statement of 

Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) 

No. 3, Accounting for Inventory and Related Property, and (8) supply management systems do not provide sufficient audit trails to 

confirm and value the in transit inventory reported as part of inventory held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

1.B. Mission of the Reporting Entity

The United States Air Force was created on September 18, 1947, by the National Security Act of 1947. The National Security Act

Amendments of 1949 established the DoD and made the Air Force a department within DoD. The overall mission of the United 

States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace. Our priorities are: 

(1) continue to strengthen the nuclear enterprise, (2) partner with Joint and Coalition team to win today’s fight, (3) develop and 

care for Airmen and their families, (4) modernize our air and space inventories, organizations, and training, and (5) recapture

acquisition excellence. 

 

The stock and industrial revolving fund accounts were created by the National Security Act of 1947, as amended in 1949 and 

codified in United States Code 10 Section 2208. The revolving funds were established as a means to more effectively control the 

cost of work performed by DoD. The DoD began operating under the revolving fund concept on July 1, 1951. 

Effective FY 2009, AFWCF operations consist of two major activity groups: Consolidated Sustainment Activity Group (CSAG) and 

the Supply Management Activity Group – Retail (SMAG-R). All AFWCF CSAG and SMAG-R activities establish rates based on 

full cost recovery. If an operating loss or gain is incurred, the activity will make the appropriate adjustment in following years’ 

prices to recoup the loss or return the gain to their customers. 

The mission of CSAG is supply management of reparable and consumable items, and maintenance activities. The CSAG 

combines the activities of the previous Material Support Division (MSD) of the Supply Management Activity Group and the Depot 

Maintenance Activity Group (DMAG). Under CSAG, business operations formerly known as DMAG are now related to the 

Maintenance Division. Likewise, business operations formerly known as MSD are now referred to as the Supply Division. 

Supply Division activities of CSAG are authorized to procure and manage reparable and consumable items for which the Air Force 

is the Inventory Control Point. The Supply Division manages more than 106 thousand items that are generally related to weapon 

systems and ground support, and include both depot level reparables and non-depot level reparables. 
113

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

Maintenance Division activities of CSAG are authorized to perform: (a) overhaul, conversion, reclamation, progressive 

maintenance, modernization, software development, storage, modification, and repair of aircraft, missiles, engines, accessories, 

components, and equipment; (b) the manufacture of parts and assemblies required to support the foregoing; and (c) the furnishing 

of other authorized services or products for the Air Force and other agencies of the DoD. As directed by the Air Force Materiel

Command or higher authority, the Maintenance Division may furnish the above mentioned products or services to agencies of 

other departments or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government, and to private parties and other agencies, as authorized by law.

The SMAG-R consists of three business divisions: General Support Division (GSD), Medical-Dental Division, and Air Force 

Academy Division. GSD procures and manages nearly 1.1 million consumable supply items related to maintenance, flying hour 

program, and installation functions. The majority are used in support of field and depot maintenance of aircraft, ground and 

airborne communication systems, and other support systems and equipment. The Medical-Dental Division procures and 

manages nearly 9 thousand different medical supply items and equipment necessary to maintain an effective Air Force Health 

Care system for the active military, retirees and their dependents. The Air Force Academy Division procures and manages a retail 

inventory of uniforms, academic supplies and other recurring issue requirements for the Cadet Wing of the United States Air Force 

Academy. Inventory procurement is only for mandatory items as determined by the Cadet Uniform Board. 

1.C. Appropriations and Funds

The AFWCF receives appropriations and funds as general and working capital (revolving) funds. The AFWCF uses these 

appropriations and funds to execute its missions and subsequently report on resource usage. 

Working Capital Funds (WCF) received funding to establish an initial corpus through an appropriation or a transfer of resources

from existing appropriations or funds. The corpus finances operations and transactions that flow through the fund. The WCF 

resources the goods and services sold to customers on a reimbursable basis and maintains the corpus. Reimbursable receipts 

fund future operations and generally are available in their entirety for use without further congressional action. At various times, 

Congress provides additional appropriations to supplement WCF as an infusion of cash when revenues are inadequate to cover 

costs within the corpus. 

1.D. Basis of Accounting

The AFWCF financial management systems are unable to meet all full accrual accounting requirements. Many of the AFWCF 

financial and nonfinancial feeder systems and processes were designed and implemented prior to the issuance of USGAAP. 

These systems were not designed to collect and record financial information on the full accrual accounting basis as required by

USGAAP. Most of AFWCF’s financial and nonfinancial legacy systems were designed to record information on a budgetary basis. 

The AFWCF financial statements and supporting trial balances are compiled from the underlying financial data and trial balances

of the AFWCF and their sub-entities. The underlying data is largely derived from budgetary transactions (obligations, 

disbursements, and collections), from nonfinancial feeder systems, and accruals made for major items such as payroll expenses, 

accounts payable, and environmental liabilities. Some of the sub-entity level trial balances may reflect known abnormal balances 

resulting largely from business and system processes. At the consolidated Military Service and Defense Agency level these 

abnormal balances may not be evident. Disclosures of abnormal balances are made in the applicable footnotes, but only to the 

extent that the abnormal balances are evident at the consolidated level. 

 

The DoD is determining the actions required to bring its financial and nonfinancial feeder systems and processes into compliance 

with USGAAP. One such action is the current revision of accounting systems to record transactions based on the U.S. Standard 

General Ledger (USSGL). Until all AFWCF’s financial and nonfinancial feeder systems and processes are updated to collect and 

report financial information as required by USGAAP, AFWCF’s financial data will be derived from budgetary transactions, data 

from nonfinancial feeder systems, and accruals. 

1.E. Revenues and Other Financing Sources

The CSAG Maintenance Division recognizes revenue according to the percentage of completion method. The CSAG Supply 

Division and SMAG-R recognize revenue based on flying hours executed and the sale of inventory items. 

1.F. Recognition of Expenses

For financial reporting purposes, DoD policy requires the recognition of operating expenses in the period incurred. Current 

financial and nonfinancial feeder systems were not designed to collect and record financial information on the full accrual 

accounting basis. Estimates are made for major items such as payroll expenses, accounts payable, and unbilled revenue. 

In the case of Operating Materiel and Supplies (OM&S), the consumption method is used. Under the consumption method, 
114

Working Capital Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

OM&S would be expensed when consumed. Due to system limitations, in some instances expenditures for capital and other longterm assets may be recognized as operating expenses. The AFWCF continues to implement process and system improvements 

to address these limitations. 

1.G. Accounting for Intragovernmental Activities

Accounting standards require that an entity eliminates intraentity activity and balances from consolidated financial statements in 

order to prevent overstatement for business with itself. However, the AFWCF cannot accurately identify intragovernmental 

transactions by customer because AFWCF’s systems do not track buyer and seller data at the transaction level. Generally, seller 

entities within the DoD provide summary seller-side balances for revenue, accounts receivable, and unearned revenue to the 

buyer-side internal DoD accounting offices. In most cases, the buyer-side records are adjusted to agree with DoD seller-side 

balances and are then eliminated. The DoD is implementing replacement systems and a standard financial information structure 

that will incorporate the necessary elements that will enable DoD to correctly report, reconcile, and eliminate intragovernmental 

balances. 

The U.S. Treasury’s Federal Intragovernmental Transactions Accounting Policy Guide and Treasury Financial Manual Part 2 – 

Chapter 4700, Agency Reporting Requirements for the Financial Report of the United States Government, provide guidance for 

reporting and reconciling intragovernmental balances. While AFWCF is unable to fully reconcile intragovernmental transactions 

with all federal agencies, AFWCF is able to reconcile balances pertaining to Federal Employees’ Compensation Act transactions 

with the Department of Labor, and benefit program transactions with the Office of Personnel Management. 

The DoD’s proportionate share of public debt and related expenses of the Federal Government is not included. The Federal 

Government does not apportion debt and its related costs to federal agencies. The DoD’s financial statements do not report any

public debt, interest or source of public financing, whether from issuance of debt or tax revenues. 

Generally, financing for the construction of DoD facilities is obtained through appropriations. To the extent this financing ultimately 

may have been obtained through the issuance of public debt, interest costs have not been capitalized since the U.S. Treasury 

does not allocate such costs to DoD. 

1.H. Transactions with Foreign Governments and International Organizations

Each year, AFWCF sells defense articles and services to foreign governments and international organizations under the 

provisions of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976. Under the provisions of the Act, DoD has authority to sell defense articles and 

services to foreign countries and international organizations generally at no profit or loss to the Federal Government. Payment in 

U.S. dollars is required in advance. 

1.I. Funds with the U.S. Treasury

The AFWCF’s monetary resources are maintained in U.S. Treasury accounts. The disbursing offices of Defense Finance and 

Accounting Service (DFAS), the Military Departments, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Department of State’s 

financial service centers process the majority of the AFWCF’s cash collections, disbursements, and adjustments worldwide. Each

disbursing station prepares monthly reports to the U.S. Treasury on checks issued, electronic fund transfers, interagency 

transfers, and deposits. 

 

In addition, DFAS sites and USACE Finance Center submit reports to the U.S. Treasury by appropriation on interagency transfers,

collections received, and disbursements issued. The U.S. Treasury records these transactions to the applicable Fund Balance 

with Treasury (FBWT) account. On a monthly basis, AFWCF’s FBWT is adjusted to agree with the U.S. Treasury accounts. 

1.J. Foreign Currency

Not applicable. 

1.K. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable from other federal entities or the public include: accounts receivable, claims receivable, and refunds 

receivable. Based upon analysis of past collection experience, AFWCF does not recognize allowances for uncollectible accounts 

due from the public. AFWCF policy is that all Nonfederal Receivables (From the Public) are collected. The DoD does not 

recognize an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts from other federal agencies. Claims against other federal agencies 

are to be resolved between the agencies in accordance with dispute resolution procedures defined in the Intragovernmental 

Business Rules published in the Treasury Financial Manual at http://www.fms.treas.gov/tfm/vol1/07-03.pdf.

1.L. Direct Loans and Loan Guarantees

Not applicable. 

1.M. Inventories and Related Property

The AFWCF values approximately 99% of its resale inventory using the moving average cost method and reports the remaining 

1% of resale inventories at an approximation of historical cost using latest acquisition cost adjusted for holding gains and losses. 

The latest acquisition cost method is used because legacy inventory systems were designed for materiel management rather than 

accounting. Although these systems provide visibility and accountability over inventory items, they do not maintain historical cost 

data necessary to comply with Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 3, Accounting for Inventory and 

Related Property. Additionally, these systems cannot produce financial transactions using the USSGL, as required by the Federal 

Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (PL 104-208). The AFWCF is continuing to transition the balance of the 

inventories to the moving average cost method through the use of new inventory systems. Most transitioned balances, however, 

were not baselined to auditable historical cost and remain noncompliant with SFFAS No. 3. 

The AFWCF manages only military or government-specific materiel under normal conditions. Materiel is a unique term that 

relates to military force management, and includes items such as ships, tanks, self-propelled weapons, aircraft, etc., and related 

spares, repair parts, and support equipment. Items commonly used in and available from the commercial sector are not managed 

in AFWCF’s materiel management activities. Operational cycles are irregular and the military risks associated with stock-out 

positions have no commercial parallel. The AFWCF holds materiel based on military need and support for contingencies. The 

DoD is currently developing a methodology to be used to account for “inventory held for sale” and “inventory held in reserve for 

future sale” with a completion date of year-end FY 2011 reporting. 

Related property includes OM&S which is valued at purchase price. The AFWCF uses the consumption method of accounting for 

OM&S. 

The AFWCF recognizes excess, obsolete, and unserviceable inventory and OM&S at a net realizable value of $0 pending 

development of an effective means of valuing such materiel. 

 

Inventory available and purchased for resale includes consumable spare and repair parts and repairable items owned and 

managed by AFWCF. This inventory is retained to support military or national contingencies. Inventory held for repair is 

damaged inventory that requires repair to make it suitable for sale. Often, it is more economical to repair these items rather than 

to procure them. The AFWCF often relies on weapon systems and machinery no longer in production. As a result, AFWCF 

supports a process that encourages the repair and rebuilding of certain items. This repair cycle is essential to maintaining a

ready, mobile, and armed military force. Work in process balances include (1) costs related to the production or servicing of 

items, including direct material, labor, and applied overhead; (2) the value of finished products or completed services that are yet 

to be placed in service; and (3) munitions in production and depot maintenance work with its associated costs incurred in the 

delivery of maintenance services. 

1.N. Investments in U.S. Treasury Securities

Not applicable. 

1.O. General Property, Plant and Equipment

The DoD’s General Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E) capitalization threshold is $100 thousand except for real property, 

which is $20 thousand. The AFWCF has not fully implemented the threshold for real property; and therefore DoD is primarily 

using the capitalization threshold of $100 thousand for General PP&E, and most real property. 

With the exception of USACE Civil Works and WCF, General PP&E assets are capitalized at historical acquisition cost when an 

asset has a useful life of two or more years and when the acquisition cost equals or exceeds DoD’s capitalization threshold. The 

DoD also requires the capitalization of improvements to existing General PP&E assets if the improvements equal or exceed the 

capitalization threshold and extend the useful life or increase the size, efficiency, or capacity of the asset. The DoD depreciates 

all General PP&E, other than land, on a straight-line basis. 

The WCF capitalizes all PP&E used in the performance of its mission. These assets are capitalized as General PP&E, whether or 

not they meet the definition of any other PP&E category. 
116

Working Capital Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

When it is in the best interest of the government, the AFWCF provides government property to contractors to complete contract 

work. The AFWCF either owns or leases such property, or it is purchased directly by the contractor for the government based on

contract terms. When the value of contractor-procured General PP&E meets or exceeds the DoD capitalization threshold, federal 

accounting standards require that it be reported on AFWCF’s Balance Sheet. 

The DoD developed policy and a reporting process for contractors with government furnished equipment that provides appropriate 

General PP&E information for financial statement reporting. The DoD requires AFWCF to maintain, in their property systems, 

information on all property furnished to contractors. These actions are structured to capture and report the information necessary 

for compliance with federal accounting standards. The AFWCF has not fully implemented this policy primarily due to system 

limitations. 

1.P. Advances and Prepayments

When advances are permitted by law, legislative action, or presidential authorization, DoD’s policy is to record advances or 

prepayments in accordance with USGAAP. As such, payments made in advance of the receipt of goods and services should be 

reported as an asset on the Balance Sheet. The DoD’s policy is to expense and/or properly classify assets when the related 

goods and services are received. The AFWCF has implemented this policy. 

1.Q. Leases

Not applicable. 

1.R. Other Assets

Other assets includes those assets, such as military and civil service employee pay advances, travel advances, and certain 

contract financing payments that are not reported elsewhere on AFWCF’s Balance Sheet. 

The AFWCF conducts business with commercial contractors under two primary types of contracts: fixed price and cost 

reimbursable. To alleviate the potential financial burden on the contractor that long-term contracts can cause, AFWCF may 

provide financing payments. Contract financing payments are defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, Part 32, as 

authorized disbursements to a contractor prior to acceptance of supplies or services by the Government. Contract financing 

payments clauses are incorporated in the contract terms and conditions and may include advance payments, performance-based 

payments, commercial advances and interim payments, progress payments based on cost, and interim payments under certain 

cost-reimbursement contracts. It is DoD policy to record certain contract financing payments as other assets. The AFWCF has 

not fully implemented this policy primarily due to system limitations. 

Contract financing payments do not include invoice payments, payments for partial deliveries, lease and rental payments, or 

progress payments based on a percentage or stage of completion. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

authorizes progress payments based on a percentage or stage of completion only for construction of real property, shipbuilding,

and ship conversion, alteration, or repair. Progress payments based on percentage or stage of completion are reported as 

Construction in Progress. 

1.S. Contingencies and Other Liabilities

The SFFAS No. 5, Accounting for Liabilities of the Federal Government, as amended by SFFAS No. 12, Recognition of 

Contingent Liabilities Arising from Litigation, defines a contingency as an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances that 

involves an uncertainty as to possible gain or loss. The uncertainty will be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail 

to occur. The AFWCF recognizes contingent liabilities when past events or exchange transactions occur, a future loss is 

probable, and the loss amount can be reasonably estimated. 

 

Financial statement reporting is limited to disclosure when conditions for liability recognition do not exist but there is at least a 

reasonable possibility of incurring a loss or additional losses. The AFWCF’s risk of loss and resultant contingent liabilities arise 

from pending or threatened litigation or claims and assessments due to events such as aircraft, ship and vehicle accidents; 

medical malpractice; property or environmental damages; and contract disputes. 

1.T. Accrued Leave

The AFWCF reports liabilities for military leave and accrued compensatory and annual leave for civilians. Sick leave for civilians 

is expensed as taken. The liabilities are based on current pay rates.

1.U. Net Position

Net Position consists of unexpended appropriations and cumulative results of operations. 

Unexpended Appropriations represent the amounts of budget authority that are unobligated and have not been rescinded or 

withdrawn. Unexpended appropriations also represent amounts obligated for which legal liabilities for payments have not been 

incurred. 

Cumulative Results of Operations represent the net difference between expenses and losses, and financing sources (including 

appropriations, revenue, and gains), since inception. The cumulative results of operations also include donations and transfers in 

and out of assets that were not reimbursed. 

1.V. Treaties for Use of Foreign Bases

Not applicable. 

1.W. Undistributed Disbursements and Collections

Undistributed disbursements and collections represent the difference between disbursements and collections matched at the 

transaction level to specific obligations, payables, or receivables in the source systems and those reported by the U.S. Treasury. 

Supported disbursements and collections are evidenced by corroborating documentation. Unsupported disbursements and 

collections do not have supporting documentation for the transaction and most likely would not meet audit scrutiny. 

The DoD policy is to allocate supported undistributed disbursements and collections between federal and nonfederal categories 

based on the percentage of distributed federal and nonfederal accounts payable and accounts receivable. Supported 

undistributed disbursements and collections are then applied to reduce accounts payable and receivable accordingly. 

Unsupported undistributed disbursements are recorded as disbursements intransit and reduce nonfederal accounts payable. 

Unsupported undistributed collections are recorded in nonfederal other liabilities.

The Status of Fund Balance with Treasury (FBWT) reflects the budgetary resources to support FBWT and is a reconciliation 

between budgetary and proprietary accounts. It primarily consists of unobligated and obligated balances. The balances reflect

the budgetary authority remaining for disbursement against current or future obligations. 

Unobligated Balance is classified as available or unavailable and represents the cumulative amount of budgetary authority that 

has not been set aside to cover outstanding obligations. The unavailable balance consists of funds temporarily precluded from 

obligation by law. Certain unobligated balances are restricted for future use and are not apportioned for current use. The AFWCF 

has no restrictions on unobligated balances. 

Obligated balance not yet disbursed represents funds that have been obligated for goods and services not received, and those 

received but not paid. 

Nonbudgetary FBWT includes accounts that do not have budgetary authority, such as deposit funds, unavailable receipt accounts, 

clearing accounts, and nonentity FBWT. The AFWCF currently does not have a Nonbudgetary FBWT. 

NonFBWT Budgetary Accounts reduces the Status of FBWT. The amount reported as NonFBWT Budgetary Accounts is 

comprised of contract authority, unfilled orders without advance from customers, and accounts receivable.

Contract terms and conditions for certain types of contract financing payments convey certain rights to the 

Government that protect the contract work from state or local taxation, liens or attachment by the contractor's 

creditors, transfer of property, or disposition in bankruptcy. However, these rights should not be misconstrued to 

mean that ownership of the contractor’s work has transferred to the Federal Government. The Federal 

Government does not have the right to take the work, except as provided in contract clauses related to 

termination or acceptance, and AFWCF is not obligated to make payment to the contractor until delivery and 

acceptance. 

The balance in Outstanding Contract Financing Payments includes $166.9 million in contract financing payments 

and an additional $27.4 million in estimated future payments to contractors upon delivery and government 

acceptance of a satisfactory product. 

The $200.4 million balance in Nonfederal Other Assets – Other Assets (With the Public) is comprised of Supply 

Management Activity Group’s assets returned to vendors for which credit is pending. There will be no dollar

Restrictions

There are no restrictions on the use, sale, or disposition of inventory except for War Reserve Materiel and nuclear related spare 

parts. 

General Composition of Inventory

Inventory includes weapon system consumable and reparable parts, base supply items, and medical-dental supplies. Inventory is 

tangible personal property that is held for sale or held for repair for eventual sale, in the process of production for sale, or to be 

consumed in the production of goods for sale or in the provision of services for a fee. 

Definitions

Inventory Available and Purchased for Resale includes consumable and reparable parts owned and managed by AFWCF. 

Inventory Held for Repair is damaged inventory that requires repair to make it suitable for sale. Many of the inventory items are 

more economical to repair than to procure. In addition, because AFWCF often relies on weapon systems and machinery no 

longer in production, AFWCF supports a process that encourages the repair and rebuilding of certain items. This repair cycle is 

essential to maintaining a ready, mobile, and armed military force. 

Excess, Obsolete, and Unserviceable inventory consists of obsolete, excess to requirements, or items that cannot be 

economically repaired and are awaiting disposal. 

Work in Process balances include costs related to the production or servicing of items, including direct material, direct labor, 

applied overhead, and other direct costs. Work in Process also includes the value of finished products or completed services 

pending the submission of bills to the customer.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

Working Capital Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

AFWCF reported an abnormal balance for Intragovernmental Advances from Others in the 4th Quarter FY 2009 in the 

amount of $1.0 million. An overliquidation of a previous progress billing caused the abnormal balance, which has since 

been resolved. 

The majority of the Nonfederal Other Liabilities balance is comprised of $126.2 million for Contract Depot Maintenance 

Activity Group’s accrued material and labor liabilities and $27.9 million in accrued liabilities established in the 

Consolidated Sustainment Activity Group (CSAG) Supply as an offset to the asset established when foreign government 

provide funds to buy their respective share of inventory that is owned and managed by the Air Force under a Cooperative 

Logistics Supply Support Agreement (CLSSA). 

Contingent liabilities include $27.4 million related to contracts authorizing progress payments based on cost as defined in 

the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). In accordance with contract terms, specific rights to the contractors’ work 

vests with the Federal Government when a specific type of contract financing payment is made. This action protects 

taxpayer funds in the event of contract nonperformance. These rights should not be misconstrued as the rights of 

ownership. The AFWCF is under no obligation to pay contractors for amounts greater than the amounts authorized in 

contracts until delivery and government acceptance. Due to the probability the contractors will complete their efforts and 

deliver satisfactory products, and because the amount of potential future payments are estimable, the AFWCF has 

recognized a contingent liability for estimated future payments which are conditional pending delivery and government 

acceptance. 

Total contingent liabilities for progress payments based on cost represent the difference between the estimated costs 

incurred to date by contractors and amounts authorized to be paid under progress payments based on cost provisions 

within the FAR. Estimated contractor-incurred costs are calculated by dividing the cumulative unliquidated progress 

payments based on cost by the contract-authorized progress payment rate. The balance of unliquidated progress 

payments based on cost is deducted from the estimated total contractor-incurred costs to determine the contingency 

amount. 

 

Capital Lease Liability

AFWCF has no Environmental Liabilities and Disposal Liabilities. 

 

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The AFWCF is a party in various administrative proceedings and legal actions, related to claims for environmental damage, equal

opportunity matters, and contractual bid protests. The AFWCF’s Office of the General Counsel considers the possibility of the 

AFWCF sustaining any losses on these legal actions to be remote. 

The AFWCF is a party in numerous individual contracts that contain clauses, such as price escalation, award fee payments, or 

dispute resolution, that may result in a future outflow of expenditures. Currently, AFWCF has limited automated system processes 

by which it captures or assesses these potential contingent liabilities; therefore no associated liabilities are recognized or 

disclosed. 

Contingencies that are considered both measurable and probable have been recognized as liabilities. Refer to note 15 for further 

details.

Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA) 

The AFWCF actuarial liability for workers’ compensation benefits is developed by the Department of Labor and is updated at the 

end of each fiscal year. The liability includes the expected liability for death, disability, medical, and miscellaneous costs for 

approved compensation cases, plus a component for incurred but not reported claims. The liability is determined using a method

that utilizes historical benefit payment patterns related to a specific incurred period to predict the ultimate payments related to that 

period. Consistent with past practice, these projected annual benefit payments have been discounted to present value using the

Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) economic assumptions for 10-year Treasury notes and bonds. Interest rate 

assumptions utilized for discounting were as follows: 

2010

3.653% in Year 1 

4.300% in Year 2 

and thereafter 

To provide more specifically for the effects of inflation on the liability for future workers’ compensation benefits, wage inflation 

factors (cost of living adjustments or COLAs) and medical inflation factors (consumer price index medical or CPIMs) were applied 

to the calculation of projected future benefits. The actual rates for these factors for the charge back year (CBY) 2010 were also 

used to adjust the methodology’s historical payments to current year constant dollars. 
133

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2010

Working Capital Fund

Notes to the Principal Statements

The compensation COLAs and CPIMs used in the projections for various CBY were as follows: 

CBY COLA CPIM

2010 N/A N/A 

2011 2.23% 3.45% 

2012 1.13% 3.43% 

2013 1.70% 3.64% 

2014 1.90% 3.66% 

2015 1.93% 3.73% 

and thereafter 

The model’s resulting projections were analyzed to insure that the estimates were reliable. The analysis was based on four tests: 

(1) a sensitivity analysis of the model to economic assumptions, (2) a comparison of the percentage change in the liability amount 

by agency to the percentage change in the actual incremental payments, (3) a comparison of the incremental paid losses per case

(a measure of case-severity) in CBY 2010 to the average pattern observed during the most current three charge back years, and 

(4) a comparison of the estimated liability per case in the 2010 projection to the average pattern for the projections of the most 

recent three years.

7. Net Cost of Operations $ 1,494,193 $ 154,322 

Intragovernmental costs and revenue are related to transactions made between two reporting entities within the Federal 

Government. 

The Statement of Net Cost (SNC) represents the net cost of programs and organizations of the Federal Government supported by 

appropriations or other means. The intent of SNC is to provide gross and net cost information related to the amount of output or 

outcome for a given program or organization administered by a responsible reporting entity. The DoD’s current processes and 

systems do not capture and report accumulated costs for major programs based upon the performance measures as required by 

the Government Performance and Results Act. The DoD is in the process of reviewing available data and developing a cost 

reporting methodology as required by the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 4, “Managerial Cost 

Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government,” as amended by SFFAS No. 30, “Inter-entity Cost 

Implementation.” 

Public costs and revenues are exchange transactions made between the reporting entity and a nonfederal entity. 

The AFWCF’s systems do not track intragovernmental transactions by customer at the transaction level. Buyer-side expenses are 

adjusted to agree with internal seller-side revenues. Expenses are generally adjusted by reclassifying amounts between federal

and nonfederal expenses. 

The AFWCF records transactions on an accrual basis. The AFWCF may not have all the actual costs and revenues input into the 

system in time for reporting. Accrual estimates based upon budget information and historical data are made as required by 

generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates reverse as actual costs or revenues are recorded. 

Note 19. Disclosures Related to the Statement of Changes in Net Position

 

Other Financing Sources, Other consists primarily of other gains and losses due to the reclassification of intragovernmental 

transfers in or out without reimbursement for which Air Force could not determine the trading partners.
