INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT To the Board of Directors Children s Literacy Initiative Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Children s Literacy Initiative (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2014 and the related statements of activities, cash flows, and functional expenses for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Children s Literacy Initiative as of June 30, 2014, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. -1-

In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Since 1988, Children s Literacy Initiative (the Organization) has worked with pre-kindergarten through third grade teachers to transform instruction so that children can become powerful readers, writers, and thinkers. The Organization s focus on improving literacy instruction in the early grades is grounded in research: we know that reading proficiently by the end of third grade is key for future success, and that teaching quality has a greater effect on student achievement than any other in-school factor. The Organization provides educators with training and coaching in effective literacy instruction, outfits classrooms with learning materials and children s books, and extends our in-school services through our online professional development portal. Basis of Presentation Financial statement presentation follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 958, Not-for-Profit Entities. Under FASB ASC 958, the Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with FASB ASC 958, grants and contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending on the existence or nature of any donor restrictions. Contributions are recorded when pledged and may include multi-year grants. Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the restriction expires in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. All other donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. There were no permanently restricted net assets. Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Grants receivable consist of current and multi-year grants that have not been received. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Account balances with invoices dated over 90 days old are considered delinquent. The carrying amount of grants and accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all grants and accounts receivable balances that exceed 90 days from invoice date and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. As of June 30, 2014 no allowance was considered necessary. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates based on management s knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. -7-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Grants and Contracts The Organization receives significant grant and contract revenue from the government, school districts, individuals, and corporate and foundation awards. A reduction in the level of this support could have an effect on the Organization s programs and activities. Revenue Recognition The Organization receives revenue from grants and fee-for-service contracts from the government and various school districts. Deferred revenues are recorded when the Organization bills for work not yet performed on fee-for-service contracts. In-Kind Contributions The Organization records the value of contributed goods when there is an objective basis available to measure their value and that value is reflected as revenue in the accompanying statements at its estimated value at the date of receipt. The Organization received $13,373 in contributed goods during the year ended June 30, 2014. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Organization considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. These investments are managed in accordance with a Board approved investment policy. Inventory Inventory consists of various books, literacy materials, and work in process and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. Management provides an inventory allowance based on its historical experience with obsolescence and transitional items. Building and Equipment and Depreciation Assets are stated at cost. The cost of the building and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. Computer equipment and software Office equipment Furniture Leasehold improvements 3 to 5 years 5 years 5 to 7 years 5 to 10 years Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Tax Status The Organization is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is registered as required with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations. The Organization follows FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities Taxes. FASB ASC 740 prescribes guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. There were no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next year. Tax years from 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions. -8-

Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the Organization s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013, from which the summarized information was derived.
