Redwood City Improvement Association <br />Notes to Financial Statements <br />8 <br />Income Taxes <br />The Association is a nonprofit public benefit corporation that is exempt from income taxes under Section <br />501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and classified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as <br />other than a private organization. Contributions received qualify as tax deductible gifts as provided in <br />Section 170(c)(2). The Association is also exempt from California State franchise and income taxes under <br />Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Accordingly, no provision for income <br />taxes has been reflected in these financial statements. Each entity is annually required to file a Return of <br />Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Association is subject <br />to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to their exempt <br />purposes. The Association determined that its entity is not subject to unrelated business income tax and <br />have not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990‐T) with the IRS. <br />Functional Allocation of Expenses <br />The costs of program and supporting services activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the <br />statements of activities. The statements of functional expenses present the natural classification detail of <br />expenses by function. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting <br />services benefited. The financial statements report certain categories of expenses that are attributed to <br />more than one program or supporting function. Therefore, expenses require allocation on a reasonable <br />basis that is consistently applied. The expenses that are allocated include occupancy, depreciation, and <br />amortization, which are allocated on a square footage basis, as well as salaries and wages, benefits, <br />payroll taxes, professional services, office expenses, information technology, interest, insurance, and <br />other, which are allocated on the basis of estimates of time and effort. <br />Note 2 - Liquidity and Availability <br />Financial assets available for general expenses, that is, without donor or other restrictions limiting their <br />use, within one year of the statement of financial position date, comprise of $622,727 cash and cash <br />equivalents. <br />Note 3 - Market Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities <br />The Association determines the fair market values of certain financial instruments based on the fair value <br />hierarchy established in FASB ASC 820-10-50, which requires an entity to maximize the use of <br />observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard <br />describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The following provides a <br />summary of the hierarchical levels used to measure fair value: <br />•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. <br />•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar <br />assets or liabilities. <br />•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. <br />8.A. - Page 30 of 33 <br />42
