North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. (a nonprofit
organization),which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2016, and the related Statements of
Activities and Changes in Net Assets and Cash Flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial

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 controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility ,
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted 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 from 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 auditors'judgement, 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 the entity's 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 the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our audit.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. as of December 31, 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
NOTE A—NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION
Nature of Activities
North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. ("NFAWL") was incorporated on July 19, 1963, in the state of
New York. NFAWL was established to care for animals by locating owners of lost animals, by finding
homes for homeless animals,and by providing home, food, grooming, exercise, and medical treatment. In
1980 the Certificate of Incorporation of NFAWL was amended to enable NFAWL to contract with the
Southold Town to manage and operate Southold Animal Shelter. NFAWL now operates two Animal
Shelters: Southold and Riverhead, and covers the area from Orient to Riverhead,NY.
NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accrual Basis Financial Statements
The financial statements of NFAWL have been prepared on the accrual basis and conform to generally
accepted accounting principles as applicable to not-for-profit organizations. Under the accrual basis of
accounting,revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
Fund Accounting and Net Asset Classifications
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accountings (SFAS) No. 117, "Financial Statements of Not-
For-Profit Organization", NFAWL is required to report information regarding its financial position and
activities according to three classes of net assets: permanently restricted net assets, temporarily restricted
net assets, and unrestricted net assets.
• Permanently restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that stipulate the resources be
maintained permanently, but permit NFAWL to use, or expend part or all of the income derived
from the donated assets for either a specified or unspecified purposes. As of December 31, 2016,
NFAWL had no permanently restricted net assets.
• Temporarily restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that permit NFAWL to use or
expend the assets as specified. The restrictions are satisfied either by the passage of time or by
actions of NFAWL. Temporarily restricted net assets as of December 31, 2016 total $ 319,631,
which are specifically from the"Troxel Estate"and are to be used exclusively towards constructing
an animal shelter building in Riverhead,NY
• Unrestricted net assets are not restricted by donors,or the donor-imposed restrictions have
expired.

Support Recognition
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards(SFAS)No. 116, "Contributions Received
by a Not-for-Profit Organization", NFAWL records contributions as permanently restricted, temporarily
restricted,or unrestricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions.
Contributed Services
A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have been made significant contributions of their time to
NFAWL's various programs. These contributed services did not meet the criteria for recognition required
by generally accepted accounting principles and are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and amount of support and expense during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986. Therefore,no accompanying provisions for income taxes have been recorded. Further,the Internal
Revenue Service has classified NFAWL as an organization other than a private foundation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, NFAWL considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents
approximates carrying value. NFAWL maintains separate cash and investment accounts for monies
restricted by donors.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property,plant,and equipment are recorded at cost. Addition,renewals,and betterments of property, plant
and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to support.
Depreciation is provided for by using straight-line methods over the useful lives of the assets.

Investment Valuation
NFAWL's investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset
or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in an
active market. See Note C for the discussion of fair value measurements.
Investment Returns
Unrestricted: For the year ended December 31, 2016,NFAWL has received a total of$6,844 in interest
income,$29,814 in dividend income,$106,454 in unrealized gains on investments at fair value,and$31,542
in realized losses on investments. Advisory fees and brokerage costs totaled$20,157.
Temporarily Restricted: For the year ended December 31,2016,NFAWL has received a total of$2,009 in
interest income, $5,397 in dividend income, $8,556 in unrealized gains on investments at fair value, and
$419 in realized losses on investments. Advisory fees and brokerage costs totaled$3,829.
Functional Expenses
Functional expenses for shares costs have been allocated between program services, support services
(general and administrative expenses) and fundraising based on an analysis of personnel time, space
utilized, and other equitable bases for the related activities (50% of management's payroll, payroll taxes,
and health insurance; 20% of insurance, auto expense, office, telephone and internet, rubbish removal,
repairs and maintenance, miscellaneous, and utilities).
Compensated Absences
Compensated absences have not been accrued as of December 31, 2016 because they are not reasonably
estimable.
Risks and Uncertainties
NFAWL owns investment accounts that hold various investment securities. Investment securities are
exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect these investment account
balances and the amounts reported in the statement of financial position.

Custodial Credit Risk
NFAWL maintains deposit accounts at two commercial banks and at one brokerage firm in two separate
accounts. The deposit accounts at the commercial bank are insured through FDIC up to $250,000. The
cash accounts at the brokerage firm are guaranteed by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to
a maximum of$500,000. NFAWL had$0 in uninsured deposits at the brokers as of December 31, 2016.
NOTE C—INVESTMENTS
Fair Value Measurements
NFAWL follows ASC 820, which defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at
fair value, NFAWL considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and
considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such 'as
inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value
hierarchy that requires NFAWL to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The categorization of each investment type within the fair
value hierarchy is based upon the lowest of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC
820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
• Level 1: quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
• Level 2: inputs other than level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted
prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are not active,or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;
• Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that reflect the
Organization's own assumptions about market participants and investment prices.
All of NFAWL's investments measured at fair value consist of Level I assets as of December 31,2016.
The described methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable
value or reflective of future value. Furthermore, although NFAWL believes its valuation methods are
appropriate and consistent with other market participants,the use of different methodologies or assumptions
to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at
the reporting date.
