- On August 10, a local equine trainer donated equipment with a current market price of $3,000 and completed a pro bono training for St. Katherine’s staff on best practices in horse training and nutrition. That training is typically offered to paying clients for $2,500. The equipment is expected to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Staff recognized depreciation on the donated equipment beginning September 1, 2019.

On March 1, St. Katherine’s received $28,000 in interest and dividend payments related to its long-term investments. All investment income would be used to support the general operations of the riding center.
