Independent Auditors Report

Board of Directors
Space Frontier Foundation, Inc.
Nyack, New York

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of the Space Frontier Foundation, Inc. (a non-profit
corporation) as of December 31, 2013 and the related statements of activities, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year
then ended.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of 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
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 on the effectiveness of internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. And 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 conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Space
Frontier Foundation, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and activities for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Other Reporting

financial statements presented by fund for the year, in which an unqualified opinion dated November 19, 2013 was expressed.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2013

Note A- Organization and nature of activities
The Space Frontier Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) was incorporated on October 6, 1988 (reinstated
February 13, 1996) and began operations in 1988. The corporation is a Georgia non-profit public benefit
corporation and is not organized for the private gain of any person. It is organized under the Non-profit Public
Benefit Corporation Law for charitable purposes. The charitable purpose of the corporation is to engage in the
process of educating the public about scientific developments and promote active pursuit of scientific research
toward expansion of the human presence in a space faring civilization.
Some of its programs are as follows:
Advocates- this program involves key participants that commit $180 annually plus they actively engage in one
or more specific programs as discussed below.
New Space Conferences- annual 3-day conferences that focus on the current, near term and future potential and
challenges of the emerging commercial space industry.
Space Business Plan Competition(BPC) - Helping entrepreneurs create NewSpace start-ups and firms that
develop technologies in support of the NewSpace industry by competing for cash prizes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2013
Note B - Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116 (SFAS No. 116) Accounting for
Contributions Received and Contributions Made, contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are
recognized as revenue in the period received.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 117 (SFAS No. 117), Financial
Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations, net assets and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are classified
based on the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Foundation and
changes therein are classified and report as follows:
Unrestricted net assets- net assets that are not subject to donor imposed stipulations.
Temporarily restricted net assets - net assets that are subject to donor-imposed stipulations that require
passage of time or the occurrence of a specific event. When the purpose restrictions are accomplished,
the temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets.
Permanently restricted net assets- net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that they be
maintained permanently while permitting the Foundation to use or expend part or all of the income
derived from the donated assets. The Foundation shows its income and expense in two columns
because it believes this more effectively matches restricted income and allowed expenses.
Accordingly, the Foundation records gifts of cash and other assets as temporarily restricted contributions if
they are received with donor stipulations that limit their use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction
expires, or when a stipulated time restriction ends or the purpose of the restriction is accomplished,
temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of
activities as net assets released from donor restrictions. Contributions with permanent (long-term) donor
imposed restrictions that received are recorded as permanently restricted in the statement of activities.
The financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The Foundations support comes primarily from individual donors contributions and grant(s) income. Annual
campaign contributions are generally available for unrestricted use in the related campaign year unless
specifically restricted by the donor.
Pledges receivable are recorded as received and recorded at their net realizable value as of the end of the fiscal
year. Allowance for uncollectible pledges is provided based on managements evaluation of potential
uncollectible pledges at year-end. As of year-end there are no receivables and no allowance has been provided.
Endowment contributions and investments are permanently restricted by the donor. Investment earnings are
recorded separately and available for distribution in accordance with donor restrictions.
Contributions of non-cash assets are recorded at their fair values in the period received. There are no material
contributions of donated services. Volunteer time and services (material for some projects) has not been
quantified and collected or valued.
The Foundation considers all liquid investments such as certificates of deposit with maturity of 12 months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Investments are composed of mutual funds investing primarily in equity and debt securities and are carried at fair
value.
