SFAS No. 116 requirescontributions to be recognized as revenue when they are received orunconditionally pledged. SFAS No. 117, which eliminates theutilization of fund accounting for financial reporting purposes,requires net assets to be classified as either 1) unrestricted,2) temporarily restricted, or 3) permanently restricted depending onlimitations placed on the net assets.

DONATED SERVICESAmounts have not been reported in the statements for donated servicesbecause they do not meet the criteria for recognition under SFAS No.116. A substantial number of volunteers have donated significantamounts of their time to the Organization.

Contributions of service shall be recognized if the servicesreceived (a) create or enhance non-financial assets or (b)require specialized skills, are provided by individualpossessing those skills and would typically need to bepurchased if not provided by donation.

REVENUE RECOGNITIONContributions are recognized as revenue when they are received orunconditionally pledged.

DECEMBER 31, 2004

REVENUE RECOGNITION: CONTRIBUTIONS - Continued...

All other donor-restricted support is reported as an increasein temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, dependingon the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires(that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purposesrestriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted netassets are classified to unrestricted net assets and reportedin the Statement of Activities as net assets released fromrestrictions.

The Organization reports gifts of land, buildings, andequipment as unrestricted support unless explicit donorstipulations specify how the donated assets must be used.

Contributions receivable represent amounts committed by donorsthat have not been received by the Organization.

INCOME TAXESThe Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt fromincome taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSFor the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the organizationconsiders all unrestricted highly liquid investments with an initialmaturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEAccounts receivable are written-off under the direct write-off methodwhereby bad debts are recorded when a receivable is deemeduncollectible. If they are subsequently collected they are recordedas miscellaneous income. The direct charge-off method is not amaterial departure from GAAP as it approximates the valuation method.

USE OF ESTIMATESThe preparation of financial statements in-conformity with generallyaccepted accounting principles require management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actualresults could differ from those estimates.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIALREPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

April 28, 2005

Members of the Board of DirectorsBoys & Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge, Inc.Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I have audited the financial statements of the Boys & Girls Clubs ofGreater Baton Rouge, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31,2004, and have issued my report thereon dated April 28, 2005. Iconducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditingstandards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained inGovernment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of theUnited States.

COMPLIANCEAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Boys & GirlsClubs of Greater Baton Rouge, Inc.'s financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement, I performed tests of its compliance with certainprovisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants, noncompliancewith which could have a direct and material effect on the determinationof financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion oncompliance with those provisions was not an objective of my audit and,accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. The results of my testsdisclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reportedunder Government Auditing Standards.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTINGIn planning and performing my audit, I considered Boys & Girls Clubs ofGreater Baton Rouge, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting inorder to determine my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressingmy opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance onthe internal control over financial reporting. My consideration of theinternal control over financial reporting would not necessarily discloseall matters in the internal control over financial reporting that mightbe material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which thedesign or operation of one or more of the internal control componentsdoes not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements inamounts that would be material in relation to the financial statementsbeing audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period byemployees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
