INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To:

The Board of Directors of Seeds of Peace, Inc.

Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Seeds of Peace, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of activities, expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Seeds of Peace, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Seeds of Peace, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Seeds of Peace, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

-1-

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the judgement made by a reasonable user based on these financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:



Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.



Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.



Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Seeds of Peace, Inc.’s internal control.

Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.



Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.



Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Seeds of Peace, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

SEEDS OF PEACE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.

Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization: Seeds of Peace, Inc., (hereafter referred to as the Organization) is a not-for-profit corporation, incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 8, 1993.

The primary purpose of the Organization is to empower young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence.

As young teens, they live together in a summer camp for three weeks to learn conflict management skills. After attending camp, the Organization provides participants with follow-up leadership training and dialogue through their college years, and after college, a graduate program to maintain cross-border network and dialogue.

Tax exempt status: The Organization has been granted tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) on July 2, 1993. Accordingly, no provision for federal, state or local income taxes has been recorded. The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions.

Programs and services provided: The Organization’s six major program areas include the following: Seeds of Peace Camp – Summer leadership development program in Maine for teenagers and educators from communities divided by conflict; Middle East – Local initiatives for Camp alumni from Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Palestine designed to reinforce relationships and build leadership skills; MultiRegional – Convening’s and fellowship programs in the Middle East, South Asia, and the United States for Camp alumni and other change-makers designed to accelerate their impact as they work to transform conflict; US Programs – Local initiatives for Camp alumni from the United States designed to reinforce relationships and build leadership skills; South Asia (SA) – Local initiatives for Camp alumni from Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan designed to reinforce relationships and build leadership skills; and Program Administration – Provides program administration and review of all program activities.

Major sources of income: The Organization derives most of its income from contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, government grants, program service revenue and special events.

Basis of accounting: The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities.

Estimates and assumptions: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Net assets: Net assets, revenues, gains and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor or grantor-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. This classification includes net assets designated by the board or management for a specified purpose.

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 the passage of time or other events specified by the donor. Other donor-imposed restrictions are perpetual in nature (endowment), where the donor stipulates that resources be maintained in perpetuity.

Cash equivalents: For purposes of the statements of financial position and the statements of cash flows, the Organization considers as cash equivalents money market funds and all highly liquid resources, such as certificates of deposit with an original maturity, to the Organization, of three months or less.

Inventory: Inventory of merchandise purchased by, or donated to, the Organization for sale at the camp store, or auction at one of its special events, is valued at the lower of cost or market.

Property, equipment and intangibles: The Organization capitalizes certain property, equipment and intangibles with estimated lives of three years or more.

Property, equipment and intangibles are stated at cost or donated value, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line and accelerated basis over the respective assets’ estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations.

Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Revenue recognition: The Organization recognizes contributions when cash, noncash assets, or unconditional promises to give are received. Conditional promises to give, which have a measurable performance or other barrier and a right of return, are not recognized until the conditions on which they depend have been met. Amounts received prior to the meeting of these conditions are reported as refundable advances in the statements of financial position. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Organization did not have any conditional pledges that were not recognized.

All contributions are considered available for the Organization’s general programs unless specifically restricted by the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted for a purpose by the donor are reported as support with donor restrictions and increases in net assets with donor restrictions. Contributions received with restrictions that are met in the same reporting period are reported as support without donor restrictions and increases in net assets without donor restrictions.

Investment income and gains are reported based upon the existence or absence of a donor restriction. Restricted investment income is reported as increases in net assets without donor restrictions if any applicable restrictions are met in the reporting period in which the income and gains are recognized. When a restriction expires, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions.

The Organization receives grants from governmental agencies. Depending upon the terms of the grant, it can be either an exchange transaction or a contribution. In accordance with grant provisions, the grant can be an expense reimbursement grant which requires that approved expenses be incurred prior to reimbursement by the grantor. Other grants permit advances of grant funds or full payment of grant funds at the start of the grant. If the grant is an exchange type grant, all unreimbursed expenses, for approved purposes, as of year-end are recorded as receivables and any unexpended advances are recorded as either refundable advances or deferred income. If the grant is a contribution, it is recognized in accordance with the contribution recognition policy described above.

Camp fees and program service revenue relate to fees received in exchange for program services. Camp fees are recognized ratably over the camp period as obligations are satisfied and benefits are transferred. Any revenue received which has not been earned is recorded as deferred income.

The Organization receives special events revenue which contains both an exchange component and a conditional contribution component. Both components are recognized when the event takes place. Any event revenue received in advance of the event is recorded as deferred income.

Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Receivables: Receivables that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded at their net realizable value. Receivables that are expected to be collected in future years are recorded at the present value of estimated future cash flows.

Receivables are written-off as bad debts in the year deemed uncollectible and are reported as such in the statements of expenses by function and natural classification.

Investments: All marketable debt and equity securities and mutual funds are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their fair market values as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 in the statements of financial position.

The Organization initially records the investments it receives as a donation at the fair value as of the dates the investments are donated to the Organization and thereafter carries such investments at current fair values.

Functional expense allocation: The costs of providing various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statements of activities and in the statements of expenses by function and natural classification.

Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. The expenses that are allocated include salaries and related expenses and consultants and outside contractors based on estimated time and effort and all other expenses based on usage. The Organization classifies expenses, which are not directly related to a specific program, as Management and General expenses.

Fair Value Measurement of Investments The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. FASB establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level 1: Investments falling within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using inputs based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Investments that are typically included in Level 1 are listed equity securities, publicly traded mutual funds, and exchange traded funds.

Level 2: Investments falling within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using significant observable inputs other than prices quoted in active markets. Examples of Level 2 inputs are model-driven prices, quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, and quoted prices for identical or similar investments in inactive markets.

Investments that are typically included in Level 2 are municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and government debt securities Level 3: Investments falling within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using methodology that is unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments that are typically included in this category are investments in limited partnerships, and investments in private companies or unregistered securities.

The investment’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Organization’s investments were Level 1 investments.

Endowment The Organization’s endowment is comprised of funds for future program support. Its endowment includes only donor-restricted funds. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

The Board of Directors of the Organization has interpreted the New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (NYPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Organization classifies as net assets with donor restrictions (a) the original value of gifts donated to the donor-restricted endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the donor-restricted endowment, and (c) accumulations to the donor-restricted endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund.

When amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Organization in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by NYPMIFA, the Organization reclassifies net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions.

In accordance with NYPMIFA, the Organization considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: (1) the duration and preservation of the various funds, (2) the purposes of the donor-restricted endowment funds, (3) general economic conditions, (4) the possible effect of inflation and deflation, (5) the expected total return from income and the appreciation of the investments, (6) other resources of the Organization, and (7) the Organization’s investment policies.

Spending Policy. The donor restriction states that annual distributions from the investment account can be made to support the facilitator training course in Jerusalem.

For the first five years, the aggregate distribution is not allowed to exceed the greater of $20,000 or 5% of the total fair market value of the account. After these five years have ended, the aggregate distribution cannot exceed the greater of $25,000 or 7% of the total fair market value of the account. The Organization expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment funds to grow at a nominal average rate of 1% annually, which is consistent with the Organization’s objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets as well as to provide additional real growth through investment return.

SEEDS OF PEACE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7.

Endowment (continued) Investment Return Objectives, Risk Parameters and Strategies. The Organization has adopted investment and spending policies, approved by the Board of Directors, for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment funds while also maintaining the purchasing power of those endowment assets over the long-term. Accordingly, the investment process seeks to achieve an after-cost total real rate of return, including investment income, with acceptable levels of risk.

Endowment assets are invested in a mix that is intended to result in a consistent inflation-protected rate of return that has sufficient liquidity to make an annual distribution, if appropriate, while growing the funds if possible. Therefore, the Organization expects its endowment assets, over time, to produce an average rate of return of approximately 1% annually. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount. Investment risk is measured in terms of the total endowment fund; investment assets and allocation between asset classes and strategies are managed in order not to expose the fund to unacceptable levels of risk.

Changes and composition of endowment net assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: 2021 Donor restricted endowment, beginning of year $ 399,316 Investment return 20,432 Donor restricted endowment, end of year $ 419,748

Commitments and Contingencies Office lease: The Organization leases office space at 370 Lexington Avenue, NY, NY, under a non-cancelable lease that was extended until March 31, 2022. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Organization has outstanding an irrevocable letter of credit with a bank in the amount of $63,512 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Camp lease: The Organization leases property located in Pleasant Lake, Otisfield, Maine, under a non-cancelable lease. In lieu of rent payments, the Lessor had agreed to accept up to $200,000 in leasehold improvements made by the Organization during the term of the lease. As of September 30, 2001, the Organization exceeded $200,000 in capital improvements and accordingly was not required to pay the $50,000 annual rent. During the 2002 fiscal year, the Lessor agreed to forgo receiving all future rent as long as the Organization continues to maintain and make capital improvements on the property. The Organization expects to continue making capital improvements on the property and therefore does not expect to make any future rent payments.

Regional leases: The Organization has several short-term, non-cancelable leases for office space in the Middle East and South Asia.

As of December 31, 2021, the minimum aggregate annual rentals for all existing long-term leases are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2022 $ 75,469 Total rent and related expense charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $403,221 and $387,846, respectively.

Insurance coverage: The Organization maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and investments in various accounts. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures bank deposits up to $250,000 per financial institution. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation insures cash and securities, including money market funds, up to $500,000 per financial institution. At times, the balances of the accounts may have exceeded the insured limits during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Liquidity and Availability of Financial Assets The Organization regularly monitors liquidity required to meet its operating needs and other obligations as they come due. In the event of an unanticipated liquidity need, the Organization also could draw upon $250,000 of an available line of credit (as further discussed in Note 11).

For purposes of analyzing resources available to meet general expenditures over a 12month period, the Organization considers all expenditures related to its ongoing activities to be general expenditures. Amounts available for general expenditures over a 12-month period include donor-restricted amounts that are available for ongoing programmatic and support expenditures.
