The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Athens Land Trust, Inc., it is not intended to and does not present the consolidated financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Athens Land Trust, Inc.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.

Athens Land Trust, Inc. did not provide any federal funds to subrecipients nor did they receive any federal non-cash assistance, insurance or loan guarantees.
