Title: LOAN OUTSTANDING BALANCE Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting policies have been followed in the preparation of the financial statements: Basis of Accounting Lupine Housing, Inc. maintains its records and prepares its financial statements using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The net assets, revenues, gains and losses, and other support, expenses and other changes in the accompanying financial statements are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, for reporting purposes, net assets of the Organization and changes therein are classified as follows: Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions – Net assets that are not subject to donorimposed stipulations. This includes any amounts designated by the Board for certain purposes. Net Assets With Donor Restrictions – Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will be met either by actions of the Organization and/or the passage of time. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue is shown at its maximum gross potential. Vacancy loss is shown as a reduction in rental revenue. Receivables Management has elected to record bad debts using the direct write- off method. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the allowance method be used to reflect bad debts. However, the effect of the use of the direct write-off method is not materially different from the result that would have been obtained had the allowance method been followed. Cash Equivalents The Organization considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Funded Reserves In accordance with the Regulatory Agreement for nonprofit mortgagors under Section 811 of the National Housing Act, Lupine Housing, Inc. maintains a replacement reserve, a residual receipts reserve and furniture reserve from which funds cannot be disbursed without HUD approval. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings and Building Improvements 7 to 30 Years Furniture and Equipment 7 Years Substantially all property and equipment serve as underlying assets for operating leases in which the Organization is the lessor. Maintenance and minor repairs are charged against income, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated. It is the Organization’s policy to capitalize all property and equipment purchases greater than $1,000 with an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Advertising Costs It is the policy of the Organization to expense advertising costs as they are incurred. Functional Allocation of Expenses The financial statements report certain categories of expenses that are attributable to more than one program or supporting function of the Organization. Therefore, these expenses require allocation on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. The expenses that are allocated include the following: salaries and benefits, which are allocated on the basis of time spent on programs; training and payroll processing fees, based on headcount in the program; maintenance and landscaping, based on square footage of property; Housing Management, based on number of client beds as a percent of the total number of beds in agency; rental & building costs, based on square footage of occupied space by respective program; Quality Assurance for Medi-Cal billable programs, based on budgeted cost of programs. Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Distributions The Organization’s regulatory agreement with HUD stipulates, among other requirements, that the Organization will not make distributions of assets or income to any of its officers or directors. Income Taxes As a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization, the Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701(d), but is subject to taxes on unrelated business income when earned. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Organization’s returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed. Fair Value Measurements The Organization’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Organization’s debt approximates book value as of June 30, 2024. Residential Leases Revenue from lease payments is recognized under the accrual method. Lease payments are included in income as rents become due. Lease payments received in advance are deferred until earned. At the commencement of an operating lease, no revenue is recognized; subsequently, lease payments received by the Organization are recognized on the straight-line basis. Leasing operations consist principally of operating leases of residential real estate expiring in various months through 2024, in which the Organization is the lessor. All leases provide for renewal options. Lease contracts do not include variable lease payments. Subsequent Events Subsequent events have been evaluated through September 30, 2024, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Lupine Housing, Inc. has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The balance of the loan outstanding at June 30, 2024, consists of: Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities 14.181 $2,189,100
