Temporarily Restricted Net AssetThe amount of Temporarily Restricted net asset represents two fiscal sponsorships which Common Ground Farm currently reports for. The restricted net assets will be reduced when the sponsorships receive their tax exempt status and funds, which are in assets as separate cash accounts, are disbursed.
PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTTHE PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT OF $8338 REPRESENTS A 2011 TAX RETURN ERROR SHOWING NET ASSETS OVERSTATED BY $8338 AND A NET "INTANGIBLE ASSET" IN THAT AMOUNT WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPRECIABLE ASSETS. IN 2012 THE DEPRECIABLE ASSETS ARE SHOWN AS WELL AS THE INTANGIBLE ASSETS. IN 2013 WE ARE PROPERLY SHOWING FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION, NO INTANGIBLE ASSET AND A CORRECTION TO NET ASSETS.
