1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
New Accounting Pronouncement (cont’d)
Advertisement
Management has analyzed the provisions of ASC 606 and has concluded that the timing and amount of revenue recognized previously is consistent with how revenue is recognized under the new standard. Consequently, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on the Organization’s financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows, and no changes were required to previously reported revenues as a result of the adoption.
Functional Expenses – The costs of program and supporting activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. The statements of functional expenses present the natural classification detail of expenses by function. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefitted. Expenses that can be identified with a specific program are applied to program service or supporting services directly. Other expenses that are attributed to more than one program or supporting function requires allocation on a reasonable basis. Officers’ salaries and other salaries are allocated based on estimated time spent by employee. Payroll taxes and benefits are allocated in proportion to officers and other salaries.
Accounts Receivable and Due From Employees – Accounts receivable represent amounts due from service contracts entered into with governmental agencies and are stated at the unpaid balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. It is the Organization’s policy to charge off uncollectible accounts receivable when management determines the receivable will not be collected. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts as the Organization determined the outstanding balance was fully collectible.
With respect to amounts due from employees, amounts are considered fully collectible
Computer Equipment – Computer equipment is capitalized at cost. Depreciation has been provided on the straight-line method over a three-year estimated useful life.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan – In April of 2020, the Organization received $73,700 of proceeds in the form of a potentially forgivable loan under the CARES Act’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which is administered by the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA). The Organization has elected to account for its potentially forgivable Paycheck Protection Program loan payable under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 470, Debt. Under this guidance, extinguishment of the loan would be recognized when the Organization has been legally released as the primary obligor of the loan. This would occur if and when the SBA approves the Organization’s forgiveness application.
Subsequent Events – Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 15, 2021, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

2. Liquidity and Availability
The following represents the Organization’s financial assets available to meet general expenditures over the next twelve months at December 31:
The Organization’s goal is generally to maintain financial assets to meet six months of general operational expenses (approximately $325,000) and one month of veteran-provided services expense (approximately $60,000) Veteran-provided services costs are subject to reimbursement from funding agencies, and the Organization typically is reimbursed within one month of incurring the related costs.

3. Due from Employees
At the end of 2015, the audited financial statements reflected employee advances of $68,017. By the end of 2016, those advances rose to $191,240. Upon review, Management and the Board realized that the two employees who were advanced the monies were entitled to deferred salary, in accordance with a Board action dating back to before 2015. To document this understanding, the Board drafted a “Retroactive Salary Agreement”, which was ratified in January 2019. The total of the advances at December 31, 2020 and 2019, were $336,975 and $336,218, respectively.
The agreement stipulates that the two employees in question were entitled to deferred compensation to be paid over time at the Board’s direction and discretion, as cash flow permitted.
At December 31, 2020, and 2019, in conformity with the “Retroactive Salary Agreement”, accrued salaries aggregating $520,448 and $472,018, respectively, are included with accrued liabilities on the statement of financial position.

Leave No Veteran Behind, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements (cont’d) 10. Going Concern
The financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that the Organization will continue in operation in the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations.
As presented in the statement of financial position and the statement of activities, the Organization has reported a net deficit in net assets without donor restrictions of $222,894 and $268,746 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

As described above, management has a reasonable expectation that the Organization will be able to continue as a going concern within one year from the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

The Organization maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Organization has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
12. Risks and Uncertainties
As a result of the spread of COVID-19, there are economic uncertainties that exist which could have a negative financial impact on the Organization, including the potential for reduction in program income and grants and contributions. Management is monitoring the situation and will adjust expense levels and assess its financial assets as needed to mitigate negative impacts of the pandemic.
