§ 677. Summary Statements of Trusts

Schedule No. I is used to show the general condition of the entire estate in the hands of the trustee on the date as of which the report is filed. If any form is prescribed it should be used, otherwise it may be presented in the following form:

ESTATE OF JAMES C. DAWSON

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF CHARLES FRAZIER, Trustee
FILED AS OF JANUARY 31, 1922

[blocks in formation]

Reference to the preceding chapter and to the synoptic and trust ledger worked out therein will show where the figures appearing on this schedule were obtained. In total they constitute the trial balance of the synoptic at the close of business on January 31, 1922, except that in this schedule cash is divided between principal and income. In detail the various statements on the schedule represent the trial balances of the various accounts in the trust ledger on that date. These various amounts are analyzed in the supporting schedules which follow.

§ 678. Schedules of Principal

The amount of the principal of a trust at any time is the figure obtained by the following arithmetical steps:

1. Given the principal at the start, which may be the amount when the trust was established or the amount at the date of last previous report rendered by the trustee.

2. Add any increase due to profit on sales of assets or subtract any loss.

3. Add any increase to the principal due to the reversion of excess income to the principal (see § 667), or to any other

cause.

4. Subtract any reduction of principal due to distribution or other causes.

The amount of cash on hand at any date is the sum of the amount at the start, plus the amount received from sales, from reversions of income, and from other causes, less the amount disbursed for purchases, expenses, and in distribution.

The book value of the investments will in the same way be the amount at the start, less the book value of the sales, plus the cost of the purchases, plus or minus any changes in the amount of the principal due to additional donations or to distribution.

The schedules having to do with principal are so designed as to show the changes in cash, investments, and principal from each of the above causes, and to group the transactions under each of these heads in such a way that the mathematical accuracy of the figures in the summary statements may be seen and the propriety of the trustee's transactions examined into.

§ 679. Inventory Schedules

The next schedule suggested for each trust is what may be called an “inventory schedule." The general rules for the amount of description to be given in inventories furnished by fiduciaries (see § 282) should be followed.

The headings which it is necessary to show are Cash and Investments. Under Cash should be detailed the various depositories with the amounts in the possession of each and the pass-book number or any other identifying information.

The general heading, Investments, should be split up into the necessary subclassifications. Those which are most common are Real Estate, Mortgages, Notes Receivable, Stocks (or "Shares" as they are called in some jurisdictions) and Bonds. Others are accounts receivable, unsecured notes receivable, jewelry, etc. In brief, each asset should be so described as to distinguish it absolutely.

Such a schedule may be in the following form:

The schedule following in the group having to do with the principal of the trusts is that listing the sales of assets from each trust by the trustee during the year. All information having to do with the sales should be shown, including the date of the court order authorizing the sale, a list of the items sold, the gross proceeds of each sale, the expense of the sale, and the difference between these two amounts or the net proceeds. The value at which the asset now sold has been carried on the books should also be given, and the schedule should be summarized by showing the difference between the net proceeds of the sale and the book value of the assets sold. This difference will be the net increase or decrease in the principal on account of sales during the year.

The schedule listing the sales may be in substantially the form given on page 686.

If there have been no sales during the year the schedules should be headed up in the manner suggested above, but in
