NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 and 2011 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Nature of Activities A Wider Circle, Inc. (a non-profit organization), was incorporated in the state of Maryland on October 1, 2001. The Organization's mission is to help children and adults lift themselves out of poverty. Each day, A Wider Circle provides basic need items to families transitioning out of shelters or simply living without life's necessities. The Organization furnishes the homes of more than 1,000 children and adults every single month, all free of charge. The Organization also goes into low-income schools and shelters to lead educational workshops on topics ranging from job skills and financial planning to stress management, nutrition, and healthy parenting. 2. Basis of Accounting The Organization recognizes income on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 3. Basis of Presentation The financial statements are presented in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (FASB 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, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. The Organization had no permanently restricted net assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. 4. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of financial position and cash flows, the Organization considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments, with an initial maturity of three months or less, to be considered cash. -9-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 and 2011 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 5. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated for financial statement purposes using the straight-line method based on the property's estimated life. Additions and improvements that add materially to productive capacity, or extend the life of an asset, are capitalized. Normal repairs and maintenance are charged against income. When facilities are retired or sold, their cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and related gains or losses are included in income. In case of trade items, any remaining book value increases the basis of the new acquisitions. Donations of property and equipment are recorded as support at their estimated fair value. Such donations are reported as unrestricted support unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose. The estimated lives used in determining depreciation are: Leasehold improvements Furniture and fixtures Computer equipment Truck 5 20 years 3 10 years 5 years 7 years 6. Income Taxes The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is generally exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Organization has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 590(a)(1). Income that is not related to exempt purposes, less applicable deductions, is subject to Federal and state corporate income taxes. The Organization did not have any unrelated business income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. -10-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 and 2011 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 7. Donated Material and Contributed Services During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Organization was a recipient of various pieces of furniture and household supplies to hand out to various families in need in the amount of $4,974,844 and $3,381,906, respectively. Additionally, the Organization received 6,000 square feet of storage space in 2012 and 2011 valued in the amount of $148,210 and $143,893, respectively, donated computer consultant services in 2011 in the amount of $36,400, and legal and professional services in 2012 and 2011 in the amounts of $3,500 and $7,000, respectively. Additionally, in 2011, a local construction company donated its construction staff valued at the amount of $80,000 to construct leasehold improvements at the Organization s location. Numerous other unpaid volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to the management of the Organization and to the delivery of its program services. The value of this donated time is not determinable and, as such, is not reflected in these financial statements. The total volunteer time in 2012 and 2011 were approximately 56,250 and 45,000 hours and intern time was approximately 43,125 and 62,500 hours, respectively. 8. Restricted and Unrestricted Revenue Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. All 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. -11-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 and 2011 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 9. 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 Functional Expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. 10. Grants and Contract Awards The Organization receives grants from private grantors for various purposes. Grants and contract awards not yet received are accrued. The Organization defers grants and contract revenues received under approved awards from grantors to the extent they exceed expenses incurred for the purposes specified under the grant restrictions. 11. Promises to Give Unconditional promises to give are recognized as revenue or gains in the period received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses depending on the form of the benefits received. Conditional promises to give are recognized when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met. All promises to give are due in less than one year. 12. Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -12-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 and 2011 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 13. Uncertain Tax Provisions Accounting for uncertain income tax positions, relating to both federal and state income taxes, are required when a more likely than not threshold is attained. If such positions result in uncertainties, then the unrecognized tax liability is estimated based on a cumulative probability assessment that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. With the adoption of these new rules, the Organization assessed its tax positions in accordance with the guidance. The Organization has determined that its tax status as a MD non-profit corporation is its only tax position and is highly certain. Therefore, these new rules had no impact on the Organization s financial statements. 14 Subsequent Events Management has evaluated subsequent events through June 7, 2013, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. NOTE B TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Temporarily restricted net assets at the end of the year represent grants that have been received and designated as temporarily restricted by each respective grantor. As these funds are expended, the temporary restrictions expire and the temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets on the statement of activities. -13-
