Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

Form 990 was prepared by staff, reviewed by an independent, retired CPA and by the organization's top management, then forwarded to the Board of Directors for review prior to filing.

Pt VI, Line 12C

All Directors and Officers must annually sign a conflict of interest statement to ensure compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy. The Board Secretary reviews the signed conflict of interest statements and ensures this is accomplished annually.

Pt VI, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request. The financial statements and Form 990 are available on the organization's website.

Pt XI

Line 9: The change in value of split-interest agreements was classified as a non-operating activity in the audited financial statements. Since it was not included in the income or expense sections of the Statement of Activities, it was not included on Form 990, Part VIII, Statement of Revenue or Part IX Statement of Functional Expense. It affected the net assets so this adjustment needs to be reported here.

Other

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Cross Venture and Brigade Air are two progams that bring young people to the JAARS campus to learn about Bible translation efforts around the world. Our hope is that these activities will encourage the participants to consider joining the Bible translation effort when they reach an appropriate age. Guest Services - JAARS has on its campus 50 plus apartments and a few houses that can be rented by persons who have a mission-related reason to be on its campus; training, transitioning to or from their field of service, furlough, volunteers or recently assigned to JAARS. Purchasing and Shipping - JAARS provides to its partners the service of ordering and receiving merchandise and parts needed by an entity. Upon receipt of the merchandise, JAARS forwards it to the purchaser. JAARS handles the export/import issues. Shipping services are also provided to missionary families moving to or from their field of service to relocate their household goods.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D

Please refer to explanation above. 1383987. 0. 400389.

Financial Statement Notes

Other

Pt IX - Other Assets - "Inventories: Non-current". JAARS standard aviation parts and materials are slow moving inventories, therefore JAARS classifies 85% of the assets as noncurrent and 15% as current.

Other

Pt IX - Other Assets - "Specialized aircraft parts" JAARS classifies a specific portion of the aviation parts and materials with noncurrent assets. These items are maintained for future use as replacement parts because there are limited supply sources for such parts.

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0The amount shown in column vi represents the fair rental value of office space on the JAARS campus that was used by SIL personnel and for which, by agreement between the parties, JAARS collected no rent.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1Explanation of how SIL controls JAARS without the power to elect or appoint a majority of the Board of Directors: (Quote from JAARS Bylaws) "SIL will control JAARS, within the meaning of Section 509(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the applicable regulations adopted thereunder. SIL will have the following special indicia of control: (a) The SIL Board may remove any of the directors for any cause by vote or written consent of the majority of the SIL Board. (b) The SIL Board must approve any change in the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation before such change is implemented. (c) The SIL Board may nullify or modify any action of the Board of Directors."
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt2Part II Reason for completing Part II (not required) pdf copy of Part II attached. JAARS has completed Part II, Support Schedule for Organizations described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(iv) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi), to show that JAARS qualifies to select a Special Rule on Schedule B, page 1 [per the Special Rules instructions for Schedule B (Form 990)(2019)]. More than one-third of JAARS' support comes from the general public.
