6. Notes to consolidated financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Minnesota Public Radio and subsidiary, an affiliated organization of Minnesota Communications Group, as of June 30, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses and of cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Minnesota Public Radio and subsidiary. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Minnesota Public Radio and subsidiary as of June 30, 1997, and the consolidated results of their activities, functional expenses and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
