THE CHURCH UNITED FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTNotes to Financial Statements December 31, 2004
1. Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Activities. The Church United for Community Development is a nonprofitOrganization organized under the laws of the State of Louisiana to partner with government,schools, businesses and community organizations to improve the quality of life for its citizens bybuilding strong families, providing education and training and teaching integrity, character andleadership. It operates principally in East Baton Rouge and Ascension Parishes, Louisiana.
Program services are supported through allocations received from contractual governmentalsupport and grants from the State of Louisiana which amounted to $1,445,682 and $995,773 forthe years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This amounted to 87% of totalsupport and revenue excluding in kind contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and2003. As the Organization depends primarily on contractual governmental support and in kindcontributions, future operating results are contingent on the Organization's continuing ability tosecure contracts and grants from the State of Louisiana and others.
A summary of the Organization's significant accounting policies follows.
Public Support and Revenue. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis ofaccounting. Financial statements presentation follows the recommendations of the FinancialAccounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117,"Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations." Under SFAS No. 117, non-profitorganizations are required to report information regarding their financial position and activitiesaccording to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets,and permanently restricted net assets.
Unrestricted Net Assets are net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.Unrestricted net assets may be designated for specific purposes by action of the Board ofDirectors.
Temporarily Restricted Net Assets are net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that mayor will be met, either by actions of the Organization and /or the passage of time. When arestriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets andreported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Permanently Restricted Net Assets are net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that theybe maintained permanently by the Organization. Generally, the donors of these assets permit theOrganization to use all or part of the income earned on any related investments for general orspecific purposes. There are no permanently restricted assets recorded in these financialstatements.

THE CHURCH UNITED FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTNotes to Financial Statements, Continued December 31, 2004
Expenses. Program services expenses are the direct and indirect costs related to accomplishingthe Organization's objectives. Supporting services are expenses for activities not directly relatedto the purpose for which the organization exists.
Functional Allocation of Expenses. The cost of providing various programs and supportingservices have been reported on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly,certain costs have been allocated among the various programs and supporting services based onestimates made by management.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting the statement of cash flows, theOrganization includes all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions orpenalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or lessas cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying statement of financial position.
Investments. The Organization has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.124, "Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Non-Pro fit Organizations," wherebyinvestments in marketable securities with readily deterrninable fair market values and allinvestments in debt securities are reported at their fair values in the statement of financial position.
Concentration of Credit Risk. The Organization maintains cash in bank deposit accounts at highcredit quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.At December 31, 2004, the Organization's bank balances were not in excess of insured limits.
Recognition of Contractual Reimbursements From State Government. The Organizationreceives most of its program support from state government. The program recovers its costs on acontracted basis with the State of Louisiana based on budgets approved by the State. Revenuesare recognized when services are performed.
Deferred Income. Deferred income represents advance payments on grants from the State ofLouisiana. These payments are recognized as income over the period earned.
Income Taxes. The Organization qualifies for taxation as a nonprofit Organization under§501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for incometaxes. In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to bea private foundation within the meaning of §509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Land, Buildings and Equipment. Expenditures for the acquisition of land, buildings andequipment are capitalized at cost. The fair value of donated furniture and equipment is similarlycapitalized. Depreciation is computed by the straight line and accelerated methods over thefollowing useful lives.

Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally acceptedaccounting principles requires the Organization's management to make estimates and assumptionsthat effect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ fromthose estimates.
Donated Services and Non-Cash Assets. A significant portion of the Organizations functions areconducted by unpaid board members and volunteers. The value of this contributed time is notreflected in the accompanying financial statements since the volunteers' time does not meet thecriteria necessary for recognition. Contributions of donated non-cash assets are recorded at theirfair values when received.
Note Receivable
The note receivable includes an unsecured demand note dated November 15, 2004, from TheLazard Group, Inc. with simple interest on the unpaid principal of 15% per annum.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITHGO VERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of DirectorsThe Church United for Community Development
We have audited the financial statements of The Church United for CommunityDevelopment (a nonprofit organization) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004and have issued our report thereon dated June 23, 2005. We conducted our audit inaccordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America andthe standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered The Church United for CommunityDevelopment's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditingprocedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not toprovide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we notedcertain matters involving internal control over financial reporting and its operation that weconsider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to ourattention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal controlover financial reporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect The Church United forCommunity Development's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial dataconsistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements. Reportableconditions are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs asitems 2004-1, 2004-2 and 2004-3.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one ormore of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the riskthat misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation tothe financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely periodby employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Ourconsideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily discloseall matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly,would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to bematerial weaknesses. However, -we consider items 2004-1 and 2004-2 to be materialweaknesses.
