FORM 990 PART X LINE 10A
THE BALANCE SHEET OF THE ORGANIZATION SHOWS A TOTAL OF $1,072,231 FOR LAND, BUILDINGS, AND EQUIPMENT. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT IS $127,960 WORTH OF BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS RECOGNIZED AS IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM. DURING THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2005 AND 2009, IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BUILDING AMOUNTING TO $127,960 BY THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM. WHEN THE BILLS CAME DUE FOR THE ORGANIZATION FOUND THEMSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO PAY OFF THEIR DEBT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM DECIDED TO WRITE-OFF THIS AMOUNT. AS SUCH, THIS AMOUNT WAS RECOGNIZED AS IN-KIND DONATION OF LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. THIS WAS RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BEGINNING BALANCE OF UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS. THE ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION WAS ALSO ADJUSTED TO REFLECT THE ADDITION OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS. CUMULATIVE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BEGINNING BALANCE OF NET ASSETS, INCLUDING THE AFOREMENTIONED RECORDING OF IN-KIND BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS, AMOUNTED TO A TOTAL OF -$58,246. THIS AMOUNT IS REFLECTED ON LINE 8 OF THE RECONCILIATION OF NET ASSETS AS PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS.
FORM 990 PART XI LINE 6
ON LINE 6 OF PART XI OF FORM 990, RECONCILIATION OF NET ASSETS, THERE IS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL $120,000 OF IN-KIND RENT RECOGNIZED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THIS NUMBER IS AN ESTIMATE BASED ON SEVERAL PIECES OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION, AND OTHER ENTITIES. USING THE FAIR-MARKET VALUE OF THE BUILDING THAT THE ORGANIZATION OCCUPIES, VALUED AT $1.2 MILLION PER DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION AND BY THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM, AN ESTIMATE OF 10% OF THE BUILDING'S VALUE WAS RECOGNIZED AS IN-KIND RENT. THIS VALUE REPRESENTS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FAIR-MARKET VALUE OF RENT EXPECTED TO BE CHARGED IN A SIMILAR SITUATION, AND WHAT THE ORGANIZATION WAS ACTUALLY CHARGED BY THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM FOR RENT AND OCCUPANCY. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO VALUES WOULD THEREFORE REPRESENT AN IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION OF RENT FROM THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM TO THE ORGANIZATION.
FORM 990 PART XI LINE 6
ON LINE 6 OF PART XI OF FORM 990, RECONCILIATION OF NET ASSETS, THERE IS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL $4,709 OF IN-KIND UTILITES RECOGNIZED BY THE ORGANIZATION.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE NOT AUDITED, THEREFORE SCHEDULE D, PARTS XI AND XII ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PREPARED AS PART OF THE FILING OF FORM 990. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT IN-KIND TRANSACTIONS, IT WAS DEEMED APPROPRIATE TO PROVIDE A RECONCILIATION OF THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION TO THE AMOUNTS INCLUDED ON FORM 990 FOR REVENUE AND EXPENSES.
