The Board of Directors may from time to time appoint advisory boards or special councils for specific purposes that do not require corporate action. The composition of such advisory groups may include persons with professional skills or special experience necessary to advise and inform the Board of Directors. Such advisory groups shall not have the authority to commit the corporation to any legal contracts or agreements whether or not related to the business of the corporation. The Board of Directors shall not lend Apparent authority to such, advisory groups and all related corporate resolutions shall expressly limit the groups authority In this respect.”

Family Relationships

“FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 2 Board member Stanley Day and president Frederick K.W. day have a family relationship. Michael Herr, Brian Benzer, Stanley Day, and Frederick K.W. Day have a business relationship.”

Form 990 Review Process

“FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11B The President, Executive Director, and Treasurer reviewed a draft of the Form 990 that was prepared by a third party tax preparer based upon information WBR provided the preparer. Subsequent to their review, Management and the full voting board received a copy of the draft return electronically. The board provided any questions or comments to the Executive Director and the Form 990 was revised, as necessary. The full voting board of directors received a copy of the Form 990 prior to filing with the IRS.”

Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement

“FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C The responsibility for disclosing any known or reasonably foreseen actual or potential conflicts of interest shall be upon the interested party whose interests are or may appear to be in conflict. All interested parties are required to file with the WBR a disclosure statement with WBR prior to such individual commencing his or her service with WBR and thereafter shall file with WBR an updated disclosure statement as may be required from time to time by the Board of Directors or its Committee designee, and in no event less often than annually. The minutes shall reflect that the conflict of interest was disclosed and the interested person was not present during any discussion of the matter and did not vote on the matter in person or by proxy. When any such conflict of interest is relevant to a matter requiring action by the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board, the interested person shall disclose such conflict to the Board of Directors or such committee; and shall not vote on the matter. Further, the interested person having a conflict shall retire from the room in which the Board or the committee is meeting and shall not participate in any deliberation or decision regarding the matter under consideration. When there is a doubt as to whether a conflict of interest exists, the matter shall be resolved by a vote of the Board of Directors or the committee, as the case may be, excluding the interested person concerning whom the doubt has arisen. The Board of Directors, from time to time, shall report on its implementation of these guidelines and the status of any policy developments regarding compensation and conflicts of interest. Further, the Board of Directors shall report after having been alerted to specific instances when these guidelines have not been followed or any other issue regarding compensation or conflict of interest is determined to exist.”

“FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15B Compensation is established for the Executive Director by the President after a thorough salary/market review. This salary/market review process was completed during the hiring process carried out in mid 2013. Each year the board evaluates the Chief Operating Officer's performance through an assessment process. The board uses this data to determine compensation. The senior staff has a comprehensive performance evaluation and compensation review done at the end of each calendar year. Salary is benchmarked every year vis-a-vis other similar organizations using Form 990 data. Documentation of the compensation review is contemporaneously documented in the Human Resources files.”

Financial Statement Notes

Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740)

“SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 World Bicycle Relief, NFP is a not-for-profit entity, as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC), and is exempt from income taxes, except to the extent of any unrelated business income. World Bicycle Relief NFP does not have unrelated business income. World Bicycle Relief - Zambia is a charitable institution, as described in Section 41 of the Zambian Income Tax Act, under Chapter 323 of The Laws of Zambia. World Bicycle Relief - Kenya is a branch of World Bicycle Relief NFP. World Bicycle Relief - Zimbabwe is a taxable limited liability company, limited by guarantee, incorporated in Zimbabwe. World Bicycle Relief - UK is a charitable institution limited by guarantee under United Kingdom laws. World Bicycle Relief Germany is a limited liability company charity. Qhubeka is a non-profit corporation. WBR Zimbabwe, Buffalo Bicycle Limited, Buffalo Bicycle Kenya are for-profit entities. WBR Zimbabwe had a deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 that covered any tax liability. Buffalo Bicycle Limited had a tax liability as of December 31, 2013. Buffalo Bicycle Limited was the only entity required to have a provision for income taxes accrued, and did so accordingly. World Bicycle Relief was organized and incorporated in Illinois as a Not-for-Profit Organization in 2006. The Organization has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service for their Section 501(c)(3) status under the IRC of 1986. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The tax years ended 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes.”

IRS990/Desc	0	In mid-2009, WBR launched an education focused initiative called the Bicycles for Educational Empowerment Program (BEEP), which is designed to improve education outcomes for rural students in Sub-Saharan Africa. The program uses the power of bicycles to help improve school attendance and academic performance; bicycle recipients are chosen based on distance to school, with preference given to students in need, particularly female students. Initial results from the program show grades and attendance increasing while child pregnancy and other health risks such as HIV/AIDS rates are decreasing. Bicycle supervisory committees select those students most in need and then oversee their bicycle usage. Every recipient receives basic training about bicycle maintenance and safety, and signs a contract of commitment when receiving his or her bike. In 2014, WBR distributed about 8,817 bicycles into the program in Zambia, 5,602 into Zimbabwe, 8,840 into South Africa, and 1,100 into Kenya. WBR also initiated a program in Peru and Colombia.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc	0	World Bicycle Relief's (WBR) social enterprise program is an economic development initiative launched to fill the gap for high quality, culturally appropriate bicycles in the developing world. Non-governmental organizations and aid organizations addressing education, healthcare and economic development, as well as individual entrepreneurs across Africa have turned to World Bicycle Relief's expertise in bicycle design to address their need for simple, sustainable transportation. Distribution of WBR bicycles through our social enterprise program helps these organizations and individuals accomplish their goals efficiently. Some examples of organizations using our bicycles to achieve their missions include UNICEF, CARE, World Vision, Catholic Relief Services, and the World Food Programme. In 2014, this program continued in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Africa. In 2014, WBR continued to support product development and social enterprise infrastructure through grants to WBR subsidiaries based in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, WBR Kenya distributed 1,025 bicycles through the Social Enterprise program.
