Notes: [a] SFAS No. 116 provides: ³Contributions are recognized when the donor makes a promise to give that is, in substance, unconditional, and are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted, depending on the existence or nature of any donor restrictions.² [b] Except for $1,400 in permanently restricted endowment, these figures refer to assets restricted temporarily. [c] For tax and financial statement purposes, in-kind services and donated materials are reported as expended in the same year in which they are received. Therefore, inventory of books and materials is not carried on Sabre¹s audited financial statement.
