| Form 990, Part X, line 28 & 29 | FOR PURPOSES OF DISCLOSURE, THE FOLLOWING IS EXTRACTED FROM THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE DALLAS SYMPHONY ASSOCIATION, INC. AND THE DALLAS SYMPHONY FOUNDATION, FOOTNOTE 2, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, RECENTLY ADOPTED AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE: As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-14 (issued in August 2016 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board), the DSA opted to present the liquidity and availability information and the analysis of expenses by natural and functional classification for the year ended May 31, 2019. In absence of explicit donor stipulations, the ASU requires the use of the placed-in-service approach for reporting expirations of restrictions on gifts of cash or other assets to be used to acquire or construct a long-lived asset and the reclassification of any amounts from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restriction for such long-lived assets that have been placed in service as of the beginning of the period of adoption (thus eliminating the current option to release the donor-imposed restriction over the estimated useful life of the acquired asset). The DSA applied the changes retrospectively. The net reclassification of gifts for long-lived assets to implement ASU 2016-14 was $3,609,346 (reclassification from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions). The net reclassification of gifts for long-lived assets to implement ASU 2016-14 was $3,609,346 (reclassification from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions). |
