Board of Directors Montana District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod 30 Broadwater Avenue Billings, Montana 59101 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 2015 NOTE 1. NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Montana District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, a non-profit organization, is one of the 35 geographic Districts of The Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod (the Synod). The Montana District encompasses 69 congregations in the state of Montana, Idaho and North Dakota. The Synod established its District offices to more effectively achieve its objectives and assist its congregations and their members in conserving and promoting the unity of the faith, and in carrying out their functions of worship, witness, teaching and nurture, service and support. The District relies on donations from its member congregations for a significant portion of its support. As shown on the statement of Income and Expenses, unrestricted support from District congregations totaled $138,022 for the 1st Quarter of 2015ending 31 March 2015 a total of 58% of total income. The Montana District of the Synod is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that it is exempt from federal income taxes on the income from related exempt activities under Code Section 501(a). No provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the accompanying financial statements because of the exemption and there was no unrelated business income for the reporting period. 1.a. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Montana District-LCMS uses the accrual method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. With this measurement focus operating statements present increases (e.g. revenues) and decreases (e.g. expenses) in total net assets. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses when they are incurred. Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted or temporarily restricted depending on the existence or nature of any donor restriction imposed at the time the gift was given. Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in temporarily restricted net assets. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. 1.b CASH AND INVESTMENTS For financial statement purposes, the Montana District-LCMS considers currency, demand deposits, and liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. At times throughout the year, the cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF), and LCMS Foundation are religious organizations, therefore amounts held by them are not insured by the FDIC. 1.c. FUND ACCOUNTING To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the Montana District-LCMS, the accounts of the district are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. This is the procedure by which resources for various purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to their nature and purposes. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund; however, in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar characteristics have been combined into fund/class groups. Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and reported in the unrestricted, and temporarily restricted as noted below. 1.d. UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS Unrestricted net assets result from revenues from receiving unrestricted contributions from individual donors, receiving interest from investments, and performing administrative functions. The only limits on the use of unrestricted net assets are the broad limits resulting from the nature of the organization, the environment in which it operates, and the purposes specified in its articles of incorporation. 17

1.e. TEMPORARY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Temporary restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that expire upon the passage of time (Normally limited to 5 years) or once specific actions have been undertaken by the Montana District. Temporarily restricted net assets consist of the following as of the date of this report: Campus Ministry $1,520 Convention Assessments $58,007.68 Pastor / Teacher & Circuit Conferences $$4,921.44 Indian Ministry $17,359.21 Schools Fund Principal $91,171.59 Schools fund Interest payable $1,136.87 Mercy Fund $24,447.42 The Fund for Missions $563,527.95 Scholarship Fund Principal $439,662.47 Scholarship Fund Interest Payable $2,892.28 Thrivent Mutual Funds for Scholarships $68,264.25 Student Loan Repayment Funds (LCEF Operating Results) $30,000.00 Total $1,302,911.48 1.f. CAPITAL ASSETS The District s property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure with useful lives of more than one year and in excess of $5,000 are stated at historical cost and comprehensively reported in the financial statements. Historical cost was established at the initial booking of the capital assets by determining actual costs. The costs of normal maintenance and repair are not capitalized. Depreciation on capital assets is provided over their estimated useful lives on the straightline method. The useful lives of these assets have been estimated as follows: Buildings & Improvements Automobiles and Equipment 10-30 years 5-10 years 1.g. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. NOTE 2. CASH 2.a. At period end 31 March, 2015 the carrying amount of the Districts cash deposits were $520,118.96. One local bank has cash deposits of $136,113.80 in checking and savings accounts which is covered by FDIC Insurance in the name of the District. An additional $384,005.16 of cash deposits ($291,696.70 unrestricted and $92,308.46 restricted) are held as investments by a brokerage firm (LCEF) in the name of the District and are not covered by FDIC. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the District considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS As of 31 March, 2015 the carrying amount of temporarily restricted Synod investments was $1,232,774.41. The investments consist of two different investment tools.
