Auditors’ Report to the Directors

of

akim israelnational association for the habilitation of the mentally retarded (a non-profit organization)

 

We have audited the balance sheets of AKIM Israel – National Association for the Habilitation of the Mentally Retarded (a non-profit organization) (henceforth AKIM) appended below, for Dec. 31 of the years 2008 and 2007 as well as the unified balanced sheets for these dates, the operating statements and the net asset change statements (AKIM and unified), and the cash-flow statements for the years ending on said dates. The management and directors of AKIM are accountable for these financial statements. Our duty was to provide an opinion on these statements based on our audit.

We did not perform an audit of the unified corporation, whose assets belonging to the unified organization constitute approximately 1.2% and 1.3% of the unified assets as of Dec. 31, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2007, respectively, and whose income included in the unified organization constitutes approximately 2.9% and 2.8% of the total unified income for the years ending on Dec. 31, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2007, respectively, respectively. The financial statements of that corporation were audited by other accountants, whose reports were made available to us. Our opinion, in so far as it concerns sums deriving from that corporation, are thus based on the reports of these other accountants.

The audit was performed in keeping with accepted accounting standards, including those mandated by the Auditors’ Regulations (Operating Methods of Certified Accountants) - 1973. These regulations require that the audit be performed in a manner that will make it reasonably certain that the financial statements do not contain any material misrepresentations. The audit must also include an examination of representative documents which provide evidence for the sums and other information contained in the statements. It also includes an examination of the accounting principles used and of significant estimates made by the management of AKIM, as well as an evaluation as to the overall propriety of the facts represented in the financial statements. We believe that the audit performed by us provides an appropriate basis for our evaluation.

The following financial statements have been made on the basis of the convention of original cost at par value. Information concerning reported sums in accordance with the standards of the Israel Institute for Accounting Standards has not been included in the financial statements below

It is our considered opinion that, with the exception of the non-inclusion of the information mentioned in the previous paragraph, the financial statements under consideration do, in all significant aspects and according to accepted accounting practice, appropriately reflect the financial situation - of AKIM and unified - as  for Dec. 31, 2008 and 2007, the results of its activities and the report on changes in net assets (of AKIM and unified) and AKIM’s cash-flow during each of the years ending on the dates in question, in accordance with accepted accounting practices in Israel (Israeli GAAP).

 AKIM-Israel, National Association for the Habilitation of the Mentally Handicapped

Comments on the financial statements for Dec. 31, 2008 (in thousands of NIS)

 

 

 

Comment no. 1 – general

A.   AKIM activities:

1.    AKIM is a registered non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide for, rehabilitate, and ensure the future and status of the mentally handicapped, in cooperation with government ministries, local authorities and other public organizations involved in the care for the mentally handicapped.

2.    AKIM works on behalf of mentally handicapped people in community institutions, in public and private hostels, and wherever else they may be, in order to encourage them, among other things, to work in the community.

3.    AKIM undertakes to initiate and encourage the establishment of institutions for the mentally handicapped, including the construction, leasing and operation of kindergartens, crèches, day-care centers, protected work-places, hostels, clubs, summer camps, social centers and other institutions for the mentally handicapped.

4.    AKIM also maintains contact with parents and other family members of the mentally handicapped, in every aspect of the society in which they live.

B.   AKIM’s assets and income serve to further the above aims. Its income is received with no intent to benefit the donors.

C.   AKIM’s net assets may not be distributed to its members.

D.   AKIM operates as a “public institution” in accordance with Section 9(2) of the Income Tax Law and as a “non-profit organization” for purposes of the Valued Added Tax Law. AKIM is registered as non-profit organization no. 58-003492-4 with the NGO Registrar.

G.   This financial statement contains financial data concerning the activities of AKIM and its various branches throughout Israel, as detailed in comment 18.

 


 

Comment no. 2 - accounting policy principles

A.   Definitions:

AKIM                                                     “AKIM Israel – National Association for the Habilitation of Mentally Retarded People in Israel (a registered non-profit organization)”.

Index                                                       The Consumer Price Index published by the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics.

Net assets                                                The difference between AKIM’s assets and obligations.

Limitation                                               Restrictions on the use of net assets as demanded by contributors, supporters or donors to AKIM.

Temporary limitation                               A restriction which expires or is removed upon the occurrence of a certain event or after the passage of a given time period or which can be removed by performing certain acts, in accordance with the conditions imposed by the donors or the external organizations which have provided the resource.

Subsidiary                                               The Rehovot Community Services Development Corporation, Ltd. See comment 5.

The Group                                               AKIM and its subsidiary.

      

B.   Assets and liabilities in foreign currency or linked to foreign currency

1.    Assets and liabilities listed in foreign currencies were converted to NIS at the exchange rate published by the Bank of Israel for the day of the Statement.     

2.    Consumer-index linked assets and liabilities were listed at their value according to the indexing conditions of each balance.

3.    Index and exchange rate differentials are listed in the financial statements as they are created.

4.    The Consumer Price Index and the exchange rate of the US dollar were as follows:

On Dec. 31 of the year

                                                                                                            2008                2007

Consumer Price Index (points)                                             106.4               102.5

1 US dollar (at NIS per $1)                                                  3.8020             3.846

 

Percentage change during

the year ending on Dec. 31

2008                2007

Consumer Price Index                                                          3.8                   3.4

US dollar                                                                              (1.14)               8.97

 

C.   Principles of financial statement unification

1.    The unified financial statements contain the financial statements of AKIM and of its subsidiary, in which AKIM has a controlling share.

2.    Mutual balances between AKIM and its subsidiary which were unified, as well as unrealized profits, were canceled.

3.    Unified corporation financial statement balances were included in the unified financial statements after having made the necessary adjustments due to the introduction of uniform accounting rules by the Group.

 

D.    Entry base

AKIM lists its liabilities, income and expenses cumulatively.

 

E.    Cash and cash-equivalent

       Cash equivalent are highly fluid investments, such as, for example, short-term bank deposits, whose period of realization at the time of depositing does not exceed three months. They do not include short-term deposits made for the purpose of financing investments in net assets according to decisions made by AKIM’s Board of Directors.

 

F.    Short-term investments

       These are investments in deposits and negotiable securities held for a short time as a current investment. Investments in negotiable securities are recorded at their market value on the last trading day of the year of the audit, and in the case of mutual funds at their value at maturity. Changes in the values of short-term investments were credited in part to the operating statement, where they can be found under the headings of “Net financing income” and “Net assets with limitations”.

 

G.   Permanent assets

       1. Permanent assets are listed according to cost minus accumulated depreciation. Depreciable assets were depreciated according to the “straight line” system in keeping with the asset’s estimated period of use. A depreciation allowance was made whenever the asset’s bookkeeping value was greater than its value to the organization (the latter is usually calculated as the higher among the asset’s use value and its realization value).

       2. The main annual depreciation rates are the following:

            Computers and software: 33%

            Electronic equipment: 15%

            Furniture and related equipment: 7%

            Improvements in buildings: 10%

            Construction: 4%

 

H.   Contributions, allocations and grants

Contributions, allocations, subsidies, grants, bequests and gifts that were promised but not received by the day of the audit were listed as income if the following conditions were met:

1.      There exists an unconditional and irreversible commitment by the donor for the audit period.

2.      The promise was kept after the close of the audit, or it can be enforced and realized using legal means.

3.      The realization of the promise is not conditional on any future eventuality.

 

I.          Use of estimates

When these financial statements in question were prepared, formulated and presented using accepted accounting practice, the Board and Management of AKIM were required to make estimates and assumptions which have an effect on the financial statements and the attendant comments. It is in the nature of estimates and assumptions that the eventual results will differ from them.

 

J.      Cash-flow

No unified cash-flow report has been provided, nor are there cash-flow reports for the subsidiary, since in the estimation of the management of AKIM such reports would not provide any significant information beyond what can be found in the balance sheets.
