6.C. - Page 61 of 124 <br />Redwood City Improvement Association <br />Notes to Financial Statements <br />November 30, 2019 and 2018 <br />Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies <br />Organization <br />The Redwood City Improvement Association (the Association) was incorporated in the State of California on <br />October 15, 2014 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation. The Association provides programs and services <br />within Downtown Redwood City and its surrounds to bring about its revitalization, its investment capital, and <br />the increased provision of quality public improvements of educational, cultural, artistic, charitable and social <br />services. The Association is supported primarily through grants from the City of Redwood City. <br />Comparative Financial Information <br />The accompanying financial statements include certain prior -year summarized comparative information in total <br />but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in <br />conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Accordingly, <br />such information should be read in conjunction with the Association's audited financial statements for the year <br />ended November 31, 2018, from which the summarized information was derived. <br />Cash and Cash Equivalents <br />Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows consist of cash held in checking <br />account and available for current operations. The Association maintains cash balances in financial institutions <br />which are insured up to $250,000. At November 30, 2019, $508,608 in the bank exceeds Federal depository <br />insurance coverage. <br />Net Assets <br />Net assets, revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor or grantor <br />imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: <br />Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions — Net assets available for use in general operations and not subject to <br />donor (or certain grantor) restrictions. <br />Net Assets With Donor Restrictions — Net assets subject to donor- (or certain grantor-) imposed restrictions. <br />Some donor -imposed restrictions are temporary in nature, such as those that will be met by the passage of time <br />or other events specified by the donor. Other donor -imposed restrictions are perpetual in nature, where the <br />donor stipulates that resources be maintained in perpetuity. The Association reports contributions restricted by <br />donors as increases in net assets with donor restrictions if they are received with donor stipulations that limit <br />the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends <br />or purpose restriction is accomplished, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without <br />donor restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. <br />At November 30, 2019, the Association has only net assets classified as net assets without donor restrictions and <br />are held for beautifying Redwood Downtown from City of Redwood City. <br />267 <br />
