Title: ORGANIZATION Accounting Policies: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of PTI are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recorded as the funds are considered earned. Expenses are recognized when incurred. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: ELECTED NOT TO USE Project Transitions, Inc. (PTI) is a corporation organized under the Nonprofit Corporation Act of the State of Texas in February 1988. PTI exists to provide supportive living, housing, recuperative and residential hospice care to persons living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and those in the final stages of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Services are primarily funded by federal and local cost-reimbursement grant revenue, contributions, and thrift store sales. Recuperative care and hospice services are provided in a residential facility (Doug’s House). These services include room, board, physical care, nursing services, emotional and spiritual support and counseling for residents, families and friends. In 1993, PTI opened a resale shop, Top Drawer Thrift, to help fund its program costs. In 2016, PTI opened a second, smaller resale shop. PTI receives donations of used consumer goods and resells those goods. In April 2023, PTI closed the second, smaller of its two resale shops. In 1995, PTI opened a transitional and supportive living program (Roosevelt Gardens) in a 22-unit apartment complex. In 1998, PTI opened another apartment complex with 8-units (Highland Terrace), and in 2003, PTI began placing clients in leased apartments throughout the City of Austin. In 2019, PTI acquired property upon which it is developing additional housing units. In 2020, PTI began redeveloping the existing Roosevelt Gardens property to increase the number of units to 40; the project was completed in 2022. In 2023, PTI sold the Highland Terrace property and construction began on the Burnet Place Apartments, a 61-unit supportive and affordable housing community for Austinites living with HIV. In September 2024, the Burnet Place Apartment project was completed.
Title: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of PTI are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recorded as the funds are considered earned. Expenses are recognized when incurred. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: ELECTED NOT TO USE BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of PTI are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recorded as the funds are considered earned. Expenses are recognized when incurred. Revenue for rental income and thrift shop sales are recorded as goods or services are provided. Cost-reimbursement grant revenue is recorded when the costs are incurred. Unconditional grants and contributions are recorded as support when the funds are awarded. Deferred revenue is recognized when cash is received prior to the revenue being earned. Grants and accounts receivable are recorded when revenue is earned prior to cash being received. PTI expects all grants and contributions receivable to be fully collected; therefore, an allowance for doubtful accounts has not been recorded. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents consists of money market accounts and certificates of deposit which can be withdrawn on demand. ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. GOVERNMENT AWARDS A significant portion of PTI’s revenue is derived from cost reimbursable government grants, which are conditioned upon certain performance requirements and/or the incurrence of allowable qualifying expenses. Amounts received are recorded as revenue when PTI has incurred expenditures in compliance with specific contract or grant provisions. As of year end, PTI has $1,870,438 available in unspent cost-reimbursable award funding for contract periods extending beyond 2023. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Net assets are classified based on the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions Net assets available for use in general operations and not subject to donor (or certain grantor) restrictions. Net Assets With Donor Restrictions Net assets subject to donor (or certain grantor) imposed restrictions. Some donor imposed restrictions are temporary in nature, such as those that will be met by passage of time or other events specified by the donor. Other donor imposed restrictions are perpetual in nature, where the donor stipulates that resources be maintained in perpetuity. Donor imposed restrictions are released when the restriction expires, which includes when the stipulated time has elapsed, when the stipulated purpose for which the restricted resource has been fulfilled, or both. DONATED INVENTORY Donated inventory items are recorded at the estimated fair market value at the time of donation. Inventory consists of items for resale in PTI’s retail thrift store. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Additions to furniture and equipment with estimated useful lives over three years and a cost of greater than $5,000 are capitalized. Furniture and equipment are used in the office, hospice, housing and thrift shop and are reflected at cost if purchased or estimated fair value at the time of donation, if donated. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over a three- to seven- year period. Residential real estate is capitalized at cost, with the values for land and building allocated based on the appraised values at the time of acquisition. Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the asset, ranging from 15 to 40 years. ACCRUED LEAVE Full-time and less-than-full-time employees earn vacation, on a proportional basis, according to a board-approved schedule based on based on years of employment ranging from 10 to 22.5 days per year. INCOME TAXES PTI is an organization other than a private foundation exempt from federal income taxes under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). Therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. FUNCTIONAL ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES The financial statements report certain categories of expenses that are attributed to more than one program or supporting function. Therefore, expenses require allocation on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. Expenses allocated based on management’s estimates of time and effort include personnel, depreciation, professional fees, utilities, repair and maintenance, insurance, interest, and other. Lease expense is allocated based on usage of space. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS PTI has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through the date of the Independent Auditor’s Report, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. LEASES PTI determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases are included in right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease obligation in the statement of financial position. ROU assets and lease liabilities reflect the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. PTI does not report ROU assets and leases liabilities for its short-term leases (leases with a term of 12 months or less). Instead, the lease payments of those leases are reported as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate certain leases. The value of a lease is reflected in the valuation if it is reasonably certain management will exercise an option to extend or terminate a lease. MEMORANDUM ONLY TOTALS The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total, not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with PTI’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, from which the summarized information was derived.

The lease is set to expire in November 2034 and has an optional five year extension. The extension option has been included within the right of use (ROU) asset and lease obligation calculations as management believes it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Additionally, management has elected the practical expedient to include projected lease expenses related to taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance within its ROU asset and liability calculations. The projected expenses are calculated based on rentable square feet and amount to approximately $3,148 in fees on top of base rent. Lease expense related to short-term leases in 2023 was approximately $98,000 in 2023. PTI evaluated current contracts to determine which met the criteria of a lease. The ROU assets represent PTI’s right to use underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease obligation represent PTI’s obligation to make lease payments arising from these lease. The ROU asset and lease obligation, all of which arise from an operating lease, were calculated based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term using a discount rate. PTI elected to use the risk-free rate for the discount rate. The risk-free rate applied to calculate the lease obligation was 4.22%. The present value of lease payments remaining as of 31 December are as follows: 2024 $121,529 2025 136,523 2026 140,619 2027 144,837 2028 149,182 Thereafter 1,749,765 2,442,455 Less: present value discount (697,813) $1,744,642 At year-end, ROU assets related to operating leases were as follows: Cost $1,744,642 Less: accumulated amortization (13,539) $1,731,103 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases: Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $7,869 Right of use asset recognized: Operating leases $1,739,225
