NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31. 2016

Note 1 - NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

SilencelsViolence (formerly known as New Orleans Bayou Steppers Social Aid & Pleasure Club Inc.) (a non-profit organization) (the "Organization") was established on November 19, 2003. The Organization is a social enterprise whose mission is to call upon both citizens and public officials to achieve a safe New Orleans across all communities.

The Organization provides direct victim services, creative youth engagement, and public advocacy, working with clients and partners from every sector to achieve safe, just, and thriving communities.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which involves the application of accrual accounting; revenues and gains are recognized when earned and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.

b. Basis of Presentation

The Organization reports information regarding financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted, based on donor stipulations and restrictions placed on contributions, if any. Accordingly, net assets of the Organization and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:

Unrestricted Net Assets - Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.

Exhibit E (Continued)

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

b. Basis of Presentation (Continued)

Temporarily Restricted Net Assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will be met either by actions of the Organization and/or the passage of time. The Organization did not have any temporarily restricted net assets as of December 31, 2016.

Permanently Restricted Net Assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that are maintained permanently by the Organization. Generally, the donors of these assets permit organizations to use all or part of the income earned on related investments for general or specific purposes. As of December 31, 2016, the Organization did not have any permanently restricted net assets.

c. 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 certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Organization considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31,2016.

e. Promises to Give

Unconditional promises to give are recognized when the donor makes a promise to give to the Organization that is, in substance, unconditional. Conditional promises to give are recognized when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met. There was $62,500 in conditional promises to give as of December 31, 2016 which is dependent on the Organization meeting reporting and other donor requirements that are due throughout the subsequent year.



f. Contributions and Revenue Recognition

Contributions are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending on the existence or nature of any donor restrictions. Support that is restricted by a donor is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or a purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from restrictions. Donor restricted contributions whose restrictions are met in the same reporting periods are reported as unrestricted support.

g. Donated Services of Volunteers

Donated services have not been reflected in the financial statements since no objective basis is available to measure the value of such services. A substantial number of volunteers donate significant amounts of their time in program and supporting services.

h. Allocated Expenses

The costs of providing the various programs and other activities are summarized in the Statement of Functional Expenses. Certain expenses have been allocated among the programs and supporting services based on management's estimates of the costs involved.

i. Income Taxes

The Organization has received a letter of determination from the Intemal Revenue Service advising that it qualifies as a non-profit corporation under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Intemal Revenue Code, and therefore, is not subject to income tax.

Accounting standards provide detailed guidance for financial statement recognition, measurement, and disclosures of uncertain tax positions recognized in an entity's financial statements. It requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination. Tax years ended December 31, 2013 and later remain subject to examination by the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2016, management of the Organization believes that it has no



i. Income Taxes (Continued)

uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

j. Subsequent Events

Management evaluates events occurring subsequent to the date of financial statements in determining the accounting for and disclosure of transactions and events that effect the financial statements. Subsequent events have been evaluated through June 9, 2017, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 3- CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Organization maintains cash accounts in a local financial institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures accounts at the financial institution up to $250,000 as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Organization did not have any funds that were not insured.

Note 4- LINE OF CREDIT

The Organization entered into an unsecured line of credit with a local financial institution on April 28, 2016 that provided borrowings up to $15,000. The line of credit matured on April 27, 2017 and was not renewed. The line of credit bore interest at a rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 4% (7.75% as of December 31, 2016). As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance on the line of credit totaled $14,365.

Notes- RISK MANAGEMENT

The Organization is exposed to various risks of loss from torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; business interruption; errors and omissions; and employee injuries. Commercial insurance coverage is purchased for claims arising from such matters. There were no settlement claims that exceeded this commercial coverage during the years ended December 31, 2016.


Note 6 - BOARD OF DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

Note 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
