Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of World Bicycle
Relief, NFP and its Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated
statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and
the related consolidated statements of activities and changes in net assets,
functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended, and the
related notes to the financial statements.
Supplementary information
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements as a whole. The consolidating
information is presented for purposes of additional analysis, rather than to
present the financial position, results of activities and changes in net
assets, and cash flows of the individual entities, and is not a required part
of the consolidated financial statements. Such supplementary
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures. These
additional procedures included comparing and reconciling the information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the consolidating information is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a
whole.

Net Assets
19
World Bicycle Relief, NFP and its Subsidiaries
Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions - Net assets that are free of donor-imposed
restrictions; all revenue, expenses, gains and losses that are not changes in net assets with
donor restrictions.
20
World Bicycle Relief, NFP and its Subsidiaries
Net Assets With Donor Restrictions - Net assets, the use of which is limited by donor-
imposed restrictions that expire with the passage of time or that will be fulfilled in a future
time period, or net assets to be invested in perpetuity.
Prepayments
Prepayments consist of prepaid insurance, prepaid rent, and prepaid technology and license
fees. Prepaid insurance is reclassified to expense, as insurance coverage is incurred over the
life of the insurance policy. Prepaid rent is reclassified to expense over the life of the lease
agreement. Prepaid technology and license fees are reclassified as registration and license
fees over the life of the licensing agreement.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents cash collected for revenue transactions that have not yet been
earned. This is primarily composed of revenue for sales of bicycles for which cash has been
received from the customer, but the control of the bicycles has not yet been transferred to
the customer.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Trade Receivables and Bad Debts
The majority of the Organization’s trade receivables are due from the purchase of bicycles
through the Organization’s social enterprise program. Credit is extended based on an
evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required. Trade
receivables are due within 30 days and stated at amounts due from customers net of an
allowance for bad debts. Trade receivables are charged to bad debt expense when they are
determined to be uncollectible based on a periodic review of accounts by management. The
Organization determines its uncollectible accounts by considering a number of factors,
including the length of time receivables are past due, the Organization’s previous collection
history, the entity’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general
economy and the industry as a whole. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the
Organization’s allowance for uncollectible accounts was
$767 and $44,205, respectively.
Contributions and Contributions Receivable
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, foundations, individuals and corporations have
unconditionally promised to give $1,999,158 and $2,615,386, respectively, to be used for
programs and general support. Amounts are due within the next year.
The Organization received a conditional multi-year grant from USAID for the Bicycles for
Growth activity in sub-Saharan Africa. Conditional promises to give are not recognized until
they become unconditional. The total amounts of conditional promises to give at
December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $1,166,727 and
$1,416,727, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists mainly of bicycles and bicycle parts. Inventory is stated at the lower of

Vehicles, furniture, and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Vehicles, furniture, and equipment above $2,500 are capitalized, while expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable
property, the appropriate property accounts are reduced by the related costs and
accumulated depreciation. Assets are depreciated over their estimated service lives. The
estimated service lives of the assets for depreciation purposes may be different than their
actual economic useful lives.

Income Taxes
As noted in Note A, certain subsidiaries of the Organization are for-profit, taxable entities.
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method that requires the
recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the
consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The
Organization nets all deferred income tax assets and liabilities and classifies them as non-
current in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. Valuation
allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely
than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Organization evaluates uncertain tax positions to determine if it is more likely than not
that they would be sustained upon examination. The Organization records a liability when
such uncertainties fail to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold.
Transactions in currencies other than dollars are translated into dollars at the rates of
exchange in effect at the date of the transaction or at an average currency valuation for the
period. Property and equipment purchased with non-U.S. currency are translated into dollars
at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the purchase. Current assets and liabilities

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842). These new standard increases transparency and comparability among
organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on
the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of
ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.
Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of
financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising
from leases.
The Organization adopted the requirements of the guidance effective January 1, 2022, and
has elected to apply the provisions of this standard to the beginning of the period of
adoption. The Organization has elected to adopt the package of practical expedients
available in the year of adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which, together with
subsequent amendments, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of
expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Organization
for fiscal year 2023. The Organization is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of
this pronouncement on the Organization's consolidated financial statements and does not
expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-07, Presentation and Disclosures by Not-for-Profit
Entities for Contributed Nonfinancial Assets, which increases the transparency of contributed
nonfinancial assets for not-for-profit entities through enhancements to presentation and
disclosure. ASU 2020-07 requires not- for-profit entities to present contributed nonfinancial
assets as a separate line item in the statement of activities, apart from contributions of cash
and other financial assets and requires additional disclosures, including a disclosure of a
disaggregation of the amount of contributed nonfinancial assets by category. The
Organization adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-07 on a retrospective basis at January 1,
2022 and the impact was not material to the consolidated financial statements or
disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified in order to conform with the current
year’s presentation. This reclassification has no effect on the change in net assets during the
year.
The Organization maintains its cash-in-bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed
federally insured limits. The Organization has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
The Organization maintained cash in foreign bank accounts totaling $3,588,104 and
$4,718,553 on December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Organization had domestic
balances exceeding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limitations at
December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Organization does not believe these accounts to be a
significant credit risk. The Organization also maintains brokerage accounts for accepting
donations. These securities donations are sold upon receipt and converted to cash. The
Organization considers cash equivalents to be all short-term, highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less at time of purchase.

World Bicycle Relief, NFP and its Subsidiaries
The Organization conducts a portion of its operations utilizing leased facilities consisting of
office, warehouse space, and retail shops that have various expiration dates through May
2027. These are classified as operating leases. The Organization determines if a contract
contains a lease when the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property
or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Upon such identification
and commencement of a lease, the Organization establishes a ROU asset and a lease
liability in the statement of financial position if the lease term exceeds one year.
A lease component is defined as an asset within the lease contract that a lessee can benefit
from the use of and is not highly dependent or interrelated with other assets in the
arrangement. The Organization has determined that all of its leases contain one lease
component related to the buildings or shops.
The lease liability represents future fixed lease payments for leases, discounted for present
value. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses that are specifically stated in the lease,
which are included in the calculation of the lease liability.
The lease term is determined by taking into account the initial period as stated in the lease
contract and adjusted for any renewal options that the Organization is reasonably certain to
exercise, as well as any period of time that the lessee has control of the space before the
stated initial term of the lease.
The Organization uses the risk-free rate of return when calculating the lease liability and related
ROU asset.
Minimum future lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases having remaining
terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2022, are as follows:
2023 $ 169,857

2022 2021
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Organization received in-kind
contributions, including rent, utilities, and advertising. The estimated fair value of in-kind
contributions is based on comparable market rates for rent, utilities, and advertising in
the Organization’s local market and was
$323,634 and $341,041 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Organization also received
donated services, including legal advice, consulting services and implementation services.
The estimated fair value of donated services is based on current rates for similar services
and was $961,583 and $710,991 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. These in-kind contributions and donated services were received without donor-
imposed restrictions and were used primarily to support the implementation of

uncertain positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. As of

operations of World Bicycle Relief in the United States and Kenya. It does not contain
controlled foreign corporations that make up much of the global picture of WBR NFP’s
operations. The absence of these entities for the year ending December 31, 2022 causes the
