Budgeted Collected/Spent
Receipts from Property tax collections
From the 1999 levy $ 100,000 $ -0-
From the 2000 levy $1,000,000 $ 900,000
In advance for 2001 $ 50,000 $ -0-
Receipts from Bonds Issued $ 500,000 $ 500,000
Borrowed from Bank (due in 5 years) $ -0- $ 75,000
Disbursements
Salaries and Wages $ 500,000 $ 500,000

Pension Contribution $ 80,000 $ -0-
Explanations provided by the City for the differences between budget and actual are as follows.

2. Save-the-Birds (STB), a not-for-profit entity dedicated to acquiring and preserving habitat for upland birds, prepares financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Currently, standards require that a not-for-profit entity report as revenue in the year received virtually all contributions. During the current year STB received a donation of several hundred acres of prime habitat for upland birds. STB will require several hundred thousand dollars in additional donations in order to make the land completely suitable for the birds. Before embarking on its fund-raising campaign STB prepares financial statements which are summarized as follows.
Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet)
Cash $ 8,000
Supplies $ 2,000
Equipment (net of depreciation) $ 5,000
Land $1,000,000
Total Assets $1,015,000
Liabilities $ 1,000
Net Assets—Unrestricted $ 14,000
Net Assets—Restricted $1,000,000

Revenues $1,030,000
Expenses:
Salaries $ 30,000

What difficulties, if any, will Save-the-Birds encounter in their new fund-raising drive? Knowing that the donation of the land accounted for $1,000,000 of the revenue reported by Save-the-Birds, do you think the financial statements present fairly the financial position and results of operations of this not-for-profit entity?
