NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016
NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
Turning Point USA NEP (the Organization) is a non-profit organization founded in June of 2012. The
Organization’s mission is to educate students about the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets,
and limited government throughout the United States of America. The Organization is supported
through donor contributions.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The consolidated 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
‘The preparation of the Organization's 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.
Basis of presentation
In 2017, the Board of Directors of the Organization formed Turning Point Endowment for charitable
purposes to support and benefit the Organization’s long-term vitality. ‘The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Turning Point USA NFP and Turning Point Endowment. All
significant inter-organization balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation,
Financial statement presentation
‘The consolidated financial statements present information regarding its financial position according to
three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently
restricted net assets.
Unrestricted net assets
Unrestricted net assets include unrestricted resources which represent the portion of funds that are
available for the operating objectives of the Organization.
‘Temporarily restricted net assets
Temporarily restricted net assets represent donor-imposed restrictions that either expire by passage of
time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Organization pursuant to the donor's stipulations.
‘The Organization had temporarily restricted net assets of $10,000 and $0 at June 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.TURNING POINT USA NFP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Permanently restricted net assets
Permanently restricted net assets represent donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by passage of
time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the Organization. The Organization is
permitted to use all or part of the income earned for unrestricted purposes. The Organization had no
permanently restricted net assets as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively
Recognition of contributions received
Contributions are recorded as support at the time the donor makes an unconditional promise to give. The
existence or absence of donor restrictions on the gift will determine if it should be classified as an
Unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted contribution. All contributions are
considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by donors. Unrestricted
contributions are recognized when received. All donor-restricted support and revenue is reported as an
increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction,
When a restriction expires (such as 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 Statement of Activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Investments
Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt
securities are reported at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Donated investments and
other noncash donations are recorded as contributions at their fair values at the date of donation
Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets. Investment income and gains
restricted by a donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions are met (either
by passage of time or by use) in the reporting period in which the income and gains are recognized
Short-term investments consist of cash,
Property an it
The Organization capitalizes property and equipment over $1,000. Lesser amounts are normally
expensed. Purchased property and equipment is capitalized at cost. Donations of property and
equipment are recorded as contributions at their estimated fair value. Such donations are reported as
increases in unrestricted net assets unless the donor has restricted the donated assets to a specific
Purpose. Assets donated with explicit restrictions regarding their use and contributions of cash that must
be used to acquite property and equipment are reported as temporarily restricted contributions. Absent
donor stipulations regarding how long those donated assets must be maintained, the Organization reports
expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired assets are placed in service as instructed
by the donor. The Organization reclassifies temporarily restricted net assets to unrestricted net assets at
that time
The various classes are depreciated using straight-line and accelerate method over their estimated useful
lives. The estimated useful lives for depreciation purposes are as follows:
—___Property and equipment
Vehicles 5 years
Furniture and fixtures T years
Equipment 5-7 yearsTURNING POINT USA NFP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Compensated absences
The employees of the Organization are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and personal days off,
depending on job classification, length of service and other factors. No liability has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements due to immateriality. The Organization's policy is to recognize the
costs of compensated absences when paid.

under Section 170(b(1)(a) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation
under Section 509(a)(2).
Accounting for uncertain tax positions
Management has evaluated the Organization’s tax positions and concluded that the Organization has
taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements to
comply with the provisions of the accounting guidance for income taxes. The Organization's tax returns
are generally subject to examination for a period of three years from the date they are to be filed.
Program services

are mostly students who build campus networks and organize conference and training workshops.
