| COVID-19 IMPACT | ON MARCH 11, 2020, THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK WAS DECLARED A PANDEMIC BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, RESULTING IN THE DISRUPTION IN OPERATIONS OF BUSINESSES DOMESTICALLY AND GLOBALLY. IN RESPONSE, GSUSA AND THE GIRL SCOUT MOVEMENT PIVOTED QUICKLY AND AGILELY. VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING FOR GIRLS WAS DEVELOPED NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY TO ENSURE GIRLS COULD STILL BENEFIT FROM THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE. IN-PERSON COOKIE SALES WERE SUSPENDED TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF OUR GIRLS, VOLUNTEERS, AND CUSTOMERS. GIRL SCOUTS LAUNCHED COOKIE CARES WITH CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP TO REDUCE COOKIE INVENTORIES AND PROVIDE COOKIES TO FIRST RESPONDERS. GSUSA WENT TO A VIRTUAL WORK ENVRIRONMENT EXCEPT FOR SELECT PERSONNEL AND ALSO IMPLEMENTED COST SAVINGS AND OTHER MEASURES TO REDUCE OPERATING EXPENSES AND PRESERVE CAPITAL, WHILE ENSURING SERVICES WERE PROVIDED TO GIRL SCOUT COUNCILS AND MEMBERS. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE CONTINUED SPREAD OF THE VIRUS AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK, THERE MAY BE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS FOR OPERATIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION. AS A RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PASSED THE CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF, AND ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT ("CARES ACT"). DURING APRIL 2020 GSUSA RECEIVED A $7,307,000 PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN ("PPP") UNDER THE CARES ACT AND AN ADVANCE OF $10,000 UNDER THE ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN PROGRAM ("EIDL"), BOTH ADMINISTERED BY THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. GSUSA ACCOUNTED FOR THE PPP LOAN AS A CONDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS GRANT REVENUE WHEN THE CONDITIONS FOR USE OF THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN MET AND IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE LENDER THAT THE LOAN WILL BE FORGIVEN. GSUSA EXPECTS THAT THE LOAN WILL BE FULLY FORGIVEN. THEREFORE, THIS FUNDING WAS RECORDED AS DEFERRED REVENUE IN THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2020. THE PPP LOAN IS FORGIVABLE AS LONG AS THE ORGANIZATION USES THE LOAN PROCEEDS FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES, PRIMARILY FOR PAYROLL AND BENEFITS.
