“The audited financial statements are prepared on a pure cash basis of accounting. From Note 2 of the financial statements: "Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the financial statements. Casa's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the cash basis of accounting. This basis of accounting recognizes assets, net assets, revenues, and expenses when they result from cash transactions. This basis is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result of the use of this cash basis of accounting, certain assets (such as contributions, pledges and other receivables, and property and equipment), certain revenues (such as gifts in kind), certain liabilities (such as accounts payable, loans, and other debts) and certain expenses (such as expenses for goods or services received but not yet paid) are not recorded in these financial statements." During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, Casa de Salud entered into an agreement with St. Louis University ("SLU") to lease a building owned by SLU to house its new Mental Health Collaborative. Improvements of $983,000 were made to the building, which was funded by donor contributions and grants with the balance of the required funds provided by Casa via a promissory note from SLU. As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding principal of note was $390,000. No asset for the leasehold improvements and no liability for the note payable to SLU were recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 in accrodance with Casa's basis of accounting. As no assets were recorded, no depreciation expense will be taken in the future and all expenditures related to the leasehold improvements were expensed as made.”
