Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroiler General of the

whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Safe Futures, Inc. as of June 30, 2020, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

provides emergency shelter, counseling, traditional housing, community education, including Violence is
Preventable and Restorative Practices curriculum in local school systems, and support services to victims of
domestic violence and sexual assault and their families in the southeastern Connecticut area.
Income Tax Status
The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
and therefore, has no provision for federal or state income taxes. In addition, the Organization qualifies for
the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170{b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization
that is not a private foundation.
The Organization recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions when it is more-likely-then-not
the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2020, the
Organization had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements, In the normal course of business, the Organization’s tax filings are subject to examination by
federal and state taxing authorities. The Organization’s tax returns for the last three years remain open for
examination.
Method of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements were prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, Accordingly,
revenues are recognized when earned and expenditures are recorded when incurred.
Financial Statement Presentation
The Organization follows the reporting requirements of GAAP, which requires that resources be classified
for reporting purposes based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. This is
accomplished by classification of fund balances into two classes of net assets: without donor restrictions
and with donor restrictions. Descriptions of the two net asset categories and the types of transactions
affecting each category follow:
« Without Donor Restrictions — Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions, Items
that affect this net asset category principally consist of fees for service and related expenses °
associated with the core activities of the Organization.
* With Donor Restrictions — Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will be met either by
actions of the Organization or the passage of time. Items that affect this net asset category are for
contributions for which donor-imposed restrictions have not been met in the year of receipt. Also
included in this category are net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions to be maintained
permanently by the Organization.
Use of 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 the reporting

amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and support, revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. .
Prior Year Comparative Totals :
The financial information shown for 2019 in the accompanying financial statements is included to provide
a basis for comparison with 2020 and presents summarized totals only, Such total amounts do not include
sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Accordingly, such amounts should be read in conjunction with the
Organization’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, from which the comparative total
amounts were derived.
-Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Safe Futures, Inc., considers all highly liquid debt —
instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments
The Organization carries investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all
investments in debt securities at their fair values in the Statement of Financial Position. Unrealized gains
and losses are included in the charige in net assets in the accompanying Statement of Activities.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair values of financial instruments have been determined through quoted market prices or present
value techniques to approximate the amounts recorded in the statement of financial position.
Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are
described as follows:
Level | — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities where the
organization has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1, which are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (i.e. quoted prices in inactive markets,
broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency);
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs are used to the extent that observable inputs are unavailable due to little, if
any, market activity for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best
information available, which might include the organization’s own data that reflects assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if donated, at the approximate fair value at the date of
donation. Depreciation of the Organization’s assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from five to forty years.

restrictions depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets with donor
restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions.
