1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization
National Association of Trade Exchanges (NATE) was incorporated in Missouri in 1987. NATE is a non-profit 501 (c) (6) trade association and is dedicated to furthering the sound financial, fiscal and ethical practices of independent, commercial bartering enterprises, along with enhancing the financial position of industry and association members and their clients.
NATE generates its revenue and support from educational conventions, membership dues, publications, sponsorships, and transaction fees thru the BANC.
Basis of Accounting
NATE uses the cash basis of accounting for both income tax and financial reporting. Revenues are recorded when payments are received and expenses recorded when paid. This is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation
Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, the Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets.
BANC
Barter Association National Currency (BANC) purpose is to serve the members of NATE and the Barter Industry by providing a credible medium of exchange and an efficient accounting system that will enhance intercity bartering activity between reciprocal trading partners. The BANC strives to create a stable Barter currency to promote trading and goodwill among its members.
BANC Trade Dollars
BANC Trade Dollars represent barter dollars collected in lieu of cash from exchange members for convention, publications, sponsorship, and transaction fees through the BANC, these amounts will be used in lieu of cash for future operating expenses.
BANC Trade Dollars that can not be used are written-off as a charge to operating expense in the period as determined by management and the Board of Directors.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, NATE considers all short-term debit securities with a maturity of three-months or less to be cash equivalents. NATE does not include BANC Trade Dollars as cash or cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of $500 are capitalized. Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if donated, at the approximate fair value at the date of donation. Depreciation is computed using primarily the straight-line method.
Income Taxes
NATE is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (6).
Use of Estimates
