1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Caribbean Recycling Foundation Inc. is a non-profit organization
incorporated under the laws of Puerto Rico on September 26, 1994
for the purposes of increasing public awareness of environmental
and recycling issues and to promote environmental awareness
through different community programs.
To achieve these goals the Foundation has established three programs:
Educational, Municipal Collections and Industrial Collections. The
Educational Program will promote and educate the public on
environmental and recycling issues. Programs currently in place
include the Caribbean Recycling Journal and a school educational
program. The school educational program has provided tours of
Environmental Plastics to 10 schools to date and there are plans to
develop educational materials such as videos. The Municipal
Collections program will work with the Municipalities and other local
organizations to promote recycling collection programs with over 30
municipalities which will begin in June 1995. The Industrial Collection
program will work with industry to promote and develop recycling
programs.
The financial statements of the Caribbean Recycling Foundation have
been prepared on the accrual basis. The significant policies followed
are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial
statements to the reader.

available to measure the value of such services; however, volunteers

services.
INVENTORY- Inventory consisting of promotional materials is carried at
cost and charged to expense when distributed to the public.
DEFERRED EXPENSES- Legal costs associated with the incorporation
of the Foundation and the preparation of recycling contracts with the
Municipalities were capitalized and are amortized over a period of 36
months using the straight-line method.

the applicable membership period.
CONTRIBUTIONS- Pledges for contributions are recorded as revenues
when formal promise to contribute is made by the donor.
