| FORM 990, PART VIII | LINE 1F -- SINCE 2017, THE DAVIS FOUNDATION HAS GIVEN 100,000 ANNUALLY TO ORCA NETWORK. 90,000 IS PAID TO BEAM REACH FOR ITS WORK ON THE ORCASOUND LISTENING PROJECT AND 10% (10,000) IS RETAINED BY ORCA NETWORK FOR ADMINISTRATION, PROJECT OVERSIGHT, AND COORDINATION WITH BEAM REACH TO FURTHER OUR MUTUAL GOALS OF COLLECTING DATA ON ENDANGERED ORCAS AND OTHER WHALES OF THE SALISH SEA, AND PROTECTING THEM FROM SHIP STRIKES AND VESSEL DISTURBANCE. IN 2019 THE DAVIS FOUNDATION DISBURSED 200,000 TO ORCA NETWORK TO COVER BOTH 2019 AND 2020. THE ENTIRE 200,000 IS REPORTED AS A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE DAVIS FOUNDATION ON SCHEDULE B. BECAUSE ORCA NETWORK USES THE CASH METHOD OF ACCOUNTING, THESE MONIES ARE REPORTED ON THE STATEMENT OF REVENUE, AS 20,000 ON LINE 2B, FEES FOR GRANT ADMINISTRATION UNDER PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE, AND 180,000 ON LINE 1F AS PART OF ALL OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9 | RETAINED EARNINGS PRIOR YEAR 60,177 RESTORE FUNDS TO RETAINED EARNINGS ACCOUNT THAT WERE MOVED FROM RETAINED EARNINGS TO THE ORCASOUND LISTENING PROJECT LIABILITY ACCOUNT IN 2018. FUNDS WERE ORIGINALLY REPORTED AS CONTRIBUTION INCOME IN 2017 AND SHOULD PROPERLY BE ACCOUNTED FOR AS RETAINED EARNINGS. AS PART OF THE SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT, THE WHALE SIGHTING NETWORK, ORCA NETWORK PROVIDES FUNDING FOR BEAM REACH, S.P.C. TO IMPLEMENT THE ORCASOUND LISTENING PROJECT. SINCE 2017, THE MAJORITY OF FUNDING FOR THIS WORK COMES FROM AN ANNUAL GRANT FROM THE SHELBY CULLOM DAVIS FOUNDATION. WHILE PREPARING OUR 2018 990 FILING, THE ORCA NETWORK BOARD WAS ADVISED THAT THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE GRANT AND ITS USE WAS TO REPORT THE 10% FEE ORCA NETWORK RECEIVES FOR ADMINISTRATION, OVERSIGHT, AND COORDINATION AS INCOME WHEN THE GRANT IS RECEIVED AND TO ASSIGN THE REST TO A LIABILITY ACCOUNT FOR THE ORCASOUND LISTENING PROJECT. THE ADVISING CPA REASONED THAT ORCA NETWORK WAS ESSENTIALLY A CONDUIT PASSING THROUGH FUNDS TO BEAM REACH. WHEN FUNDS WERE DISPERSED TO BEAM REACH THE LIABILITY ACCOUNT WAS REDUCED. NOTHING WAS REPORTED FOR THESE FUNDS ON THE STATEMENT OF REVENUE OR THE STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES IN 2018. THE BOARD RECEIVED DIFFERENT ADVICE IN PREPARING THE 2019 990 FILING AND HAS ADJUSTED BOOKKEEPING AND REPORTING ACCORDINGLY. THE NEW ADVICE IS BASED ON BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDED BY BOTH NONPROFIT ADVISORY GROUPS AND TAX LAWYERS. WHILE THE DAVIS FOUNDATION EXPRESSES A PREFERENCE FOR ITS GRANT TO BE USED FOR THE ORCASOUND LISTENING NETWORK, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE GRANT EXPLICITLY STATE "THIS IS AN UNRESTRICTED GRANT TO THE GRANTEE", MEANING THAT ORCA NETWORK HAS FULL AUTHORITY OVER THE USE OF THE GRANT AND THAT IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE USED FOR THE ORCASOUND LISTENING PROJECT. ORCA NETWORK DETERMINES THE ULTIMATE USE OF THE GRANT. ORCA NETWORK AND BEAM REACH ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING UNDER A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT THAT EXTENDS THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2021. PER ORCA NETWORK'S MOA WITH BEAM REACH, ORCA NETWORK RECEIVES A 10% ADMINISTRATION FEE FOR ALL MONIES PAID OUT TO BEAM REACH. BECAUSE ORCA NETWORK USES THE CASH METHOD OF ACCOUNTING, 90% OF THE FUNDS DESIGNATED FOR THE ORCASOUND LISTENING PROJECT ARE BOOKED AS CONTRIBUTIONS AND 10% ARE BOOKED AS ADMINISTRATIVE FEE INCOME WHEN THE FUNDS ARE RECEIVED. BEAM REACH INVOICES ORCA NETWORK QUARTERLY FOR WORK COMPLETED AND THE FUNDS ARE BOOKED AS EXPENSES FOR PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT 2 WHEN THE INVOICES ARE PAID. |
