o millions of people in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, and even the United States, the notion that they can profoundly influence Ttheir own futures for the better is often a startling – and exhilarating – concept. These people include the poorest of the world’s poor, for whom success is e believe measured not in material terms, but in the simple ability to withstand physi- W cal or emotional pain for another day. They may be oppressed by war or government corruption, suffering from disease or hunger, or economically crippled by generations of poverty. that hope is a basic The Carter Center, working with other nonprofit organizations, govern- mental agencies, and private industry, is dedicated to alleviating the condi- tions that foster not only physical poverty, but also the mental toll that oppresses the human spirit. The relentless, difficult work toward achieving a human right, and better – a future of promise – necessarily begins with the idea that solutions are possible. Everything we do at The Carter Center is guided by a fundamental com- mitment to human rights and a firm belief in the power of hope. We ap- everything we do proach our work on two fronts – waging peace and fighting disease – through a dozen mutually supportive programs aimed at mitigating specific problems. is guided by a The Center actively works for peace through our Conflict Resolution Program. We monitor all the world’s conflicts – mostly civil wars – and provide behind-the-scenes as well as public commitment to mediation assistance when requested by all parties involved with a conflict. This year, we have been active in Africa and Asia. Peace is fostered, we believe, when individuals this and other have the freedom and ability to participate in their own government. By monitoring elections and working with various government leaders and agencies to ensure that civil society has a voice in policy-making, our Democ- racy Program strives to close the gap that too often exists between the fundamental rights. government and the governed. The program promotes awareness and compli- ance with the basic democratic concept that the rule of law should apply to everyone. In addition, The Carter Center’s Global Development Program helps countries formulate national development strategies leading to a comprehen- sive blueprint for economic, social, and democratic development. The process emphasizes consensus, broad-based participation, and a realistic balance among economic, social, and environmental goals.

We also help citizens determine their own destinies through The Carter Center’s Latin American and Caribbean Program which promotes a common agenda among the nations of the region and the United States to strengthen democracy, reduce corruption, and decrease inequities among citizens. Good health, which is basic to an individual’s ability to influence his or her future, is another fundamental component of The Carter Center’s global he relentless, mission. We are now working to eradicate or control five diseases in develop- T ing countries – Guinea worm disease, lymphatic filariasis, river blindness, urinary schistosomiasis, and trachoma. The conquest of these debilitating diseases involves strong difficult work initiatives, improving personal hygiene practices, and medication. In the case of Guinea worm disease, it also involves improving drinking water sources. The infrastructure developed to eradicate Guinea worm has provided a basis for addressing the other diseases because of similarities in treatment-delivery methods. toward achieving a On a day-to-day basis, hunger and malnutrition are perhaps the most important health issues facing millions of the world’s poor. The Center’s Agriculture Program teaches farmers to become self-reliant through tradi- better quality of life – tional agricultural techniques, improved farming methods, and crop diversifi- cation. In addition, the program helps village farmers improve grain storage methods and develop viable commercial markets for their crops. The Carter Center’s Mental Health Program promotes public awareness of the biochemical nature of most mental illnesses and availability of treatment. a future of promise – The program identifies major mental health issues, convenes meetings, and develops initiatives to reduce stigma and discrimination against people with these diseases. The diverse programs of The Carter Center have many things in common. necessarily begins with They strive for outcomes taken for granted by most of us. They do not rely on complex technology for success. Indeed, much of the work simply involves sharing existing knowledge and resources. Their greatest common aspect has the idea that solutions been characterized by Dr. Jim Zingeser, technical director of the Center’s Trachoma Control Program, in the following words: “It’s one thing to know that a particular disease is bad. We want people to know they can do some- thing about it.” The same holds true for those trying to re-build their communities, to are possible. participate in their government, or to stand up for their own rights or those of their fellow citizens. They can do something about it. It also is true for farmers trying to increase food production, for individuals struggling to cope with a mental illness, for a child whose physical and intellectual development is threatened by schistosomiasis. They can do something about it – and The Carter Center is here to help.

A Vote for Independence in East Timor

uring his June trip to Indonesia, President D Carter also met with East Timorese leader-in- exile Jose Alexandre “Xanana” Gusmao to discuss the “public consultation” ballot scheduled for August 1999 in which the East Timorese would vote whether to accept or reject an offer of special autonomy within the Republic of Indonesia. Indonesia, Portugal, and the United Nations had agreed to hold the public consultation with the United Nations administering the registration and balloting process, and Indonesia providing security during the consultation period. The conflict in East Timor began in 1975 after Indonesian troops invaded and occupied the territory following Portugal’s withdrawal. Both armed and peaceful resistance to the Indonesian annexation of East Timor quickly surfaced.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of The Carter Center, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Carter Center, Inc. as of August 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

AUGUST 31, 1999 AND 1998

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION Carter Presidential Library, Inc. (“CPL”) was organized on October 26, 1981 under the laws of Georgia as a not-for-profit corporation to be operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. During 1986, CPL changed its name to Carter Presidential Center, Inc. (“CPC”). Effective January 1988, CPC changed its name to The Carter Center, Inc. (“CCI”). CCI is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The board of trustees of CCI consists of 22 members, which include President and Mrs. Carter, the president of Emory University, 9 members appointed by Emory University’s board of trustees, and 10 members appointed by President Carter and CCI trustees. Additionally, Emory University’s board of trustees has the authority to approve amendments to CCI’s articles of incorpora- tion and bylaws and to approve the annual and capital budgets of CCI. CCI is related by common control to Carter Center of Emory University (“CCEU”). The financial data for this organization is not included in these financial statements. CCI operates programmatically under three main action areas, Peace, both domestic and international, and Health. In addition, CCI has received broad-based support which is beneficial to all programs and is categorized as “cross-program.” Initiatives in Peace--international include preventing and resolving conflict, protecting basic human rights, promoting open forms of media, and monitoring elections in emerging democracies. The Health area strives to improve health in the United States and around the world. Initiatives include eradication of dracunculiasis, control of onchocerciasis (“river blindness”), mental health reform, and collaborations between congregations and public health agencies. CCI discontinued its program efforts in Peace--domestic at the end of fiscal year 1999. Peace--domestic focused its efforts on helping the city of Atlanta’s neediest commu- nities gain access to the resources they needed to address the problems that most concerned them. Experiences were then communi- cated to other interested communities throughout the country.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

Contributions CCI records gifts, including promises to give, of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction is met, such temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and are reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. CCI records gifts of land, buildings, and equipment as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipula- tions about how long those long-lived assets must be maintained, CCI reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed in service.

Donated Goods and Services Donated materials and equipment, including artwork, are reflected as contributions at their estimated fair market values when an unconditional promise to give is received. Donated services are reflected as contributions if the following criteria are met: (1) the services received or to be received create or enhance nonfinancial assets or (2) the services require specialized skills, are pro- vided by individuals possessing those skills, and would be purchased if not provided by donation. Donated services are recognized as the services are performed. The services of loaned executives for The Atlanta Project (“TAP”) and certain other services have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. No amounts are recorded in the accompanying financial statements for other donated services (volunteers, organizational planning, and meeting facilitation), since the criteria discussed above were not met with respect to these services. The components of donated goods and services for the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1999 1998 Health: Water filtration material and chemicals $ 541,912 $ 1,001,529 Medication 30,673,000 26,500,200 Transportation 151,615 0 Peace–domestic: Loaned executives 156,000 196,502 Operating expenses and utilities 106,816 137,641 Total $31,629,343 $27,835,872

Artwork CCI has capitalized artwork since its inception at the estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition.

Inventory Inventory consists of Mectizan tablets, which are used to treat river blindness. Inventory is received as an in-kind donation and is valued at market value at the time of the gift. Inventory is valued using the first-in, first-out method.

Medication Due to Third Parties From time to time, CCI receives loans of medication from various parties for its River Blindness Program in Nigeria. These loans are received when CCI does not have sufficient inventory on hand to carry out its desired program activities and other organizations have excess inventory. As all such medication used in this program is provided to CCI and all other organizations directly by the manufacturer at no cost, any loans due are satisfied by future in-kind donations received from the manufacturer.

Net Assets

Unrestricted As of August 31, 1999 and 1998, unrestricted net assets are as follows: 1999 1998

Unrealized gain on restricted endowment investments $48,921,761 $44,930,990 Designated by the board of trustees for maintenance of property and equipment 500,000 566,853 Designated by management as an addition to: Endowment investments 14,522,108 9,108,760 Program funds 1,483,026 545,091 Undesignated 22,076,353 24,841,567 Total $87,503,248 $79,993,261

The board of trustees has authorized the designation of a portion of the unrestricted net assets for maintenance of property and equipment. The annual designation amount is $116,000. During 1999, the board’s executive committee resolved that the Plant Maintenance Fund be capped at $500,000. Unrealized gains on restricted endowment investments (Note 5) are classified as increases in unrestricted net assets. Unre- stricted net assets also include funds designated by management as additions to endowment and program funding. These amounts are classified as unrestricted net assets due to the lack of explicit donor stipulations which would temporarily or permanently restrict their use.

Temporarily Restricted As of August 31, 1999 and 1998, temporarily restricted net assets are available for the following purposes: 1999 1998

Peace–international $ 2,213,199 $ 2,637,676 Peace–domestic 156,529 4,507,150 Health 13,269,666 1,867,868 Cross-program 3,131,701 1,787,925 Time-restricted 2,054,785 1,923,739 Total $20,825,880 $12,724,358

Permanently Restricted In 1989, CCI began its campaign to raise an endowment fund. An endowment fund represents a fund subject to restrictions of gift instruments requiring that the principal of the fund be invested in perpetuity and only the income be used for operations. Permanently restricted net assets are invested in perpetuity, and the income from these assets is expendable to support any activities of CCI.

Cash and Cash Equivalents CCI’s cash equivalents represent liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash is restricted by the donor for a specific purpose.

Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. PLEDGES RECEIVABLE Pledges are recorded as of their pledge dates at the net present value of their estimated future cash flows. The amount of periodic amortization of the discount is recorded in subsequent periods as contribution income according to each respective donor-imposed restriction, if any. Pledges receivable as of August 31, 1999 and 1998 are classified as follows:

1999 1998

Unrestricted: Operating $ 48,413 $ 70,339 Quasi-endowment 0 200,000 Temporarily restricted: Peace--domestic 130,000 989,579 Health 299,896 0 Construction 309,524 439,524 Time-restricted 2,054,785 1,923,739 Permanently restricted: Endowment 7,463,503 4,947,667 Total $10,306,121 $8,570,848

The anticipated receipts of these receivables are as follows at August 31, 1999 and 1998:

1999 1998

Pledges were discounted based on rates ranging from 4.17% to 8.28%.

4. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT The components of property, plant, and equipment, which, except for land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis, are as follows at August 31, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 Useful Lives

5. INVESTMENTS As of August 31, 1999 and 1998, CCI has invested a portion of its endowment in a pooled investment fund, which invests in a composite of cash equivalents, bonds, common stock, mutual funds, and other assets. These investments are presented in the accompanying statements of financial position at their fair values. The cost basis for these investments was $59,633,012 and $47,004,469 as of August 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total return on investments was unrestricted for the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 and was as follows:

1999 1998

Investment income included in operating support and revenue, including net realized gains or losses $3,801,293 $3,745,388 Net unrealized gains 3,990,771 2,152,905 Total return on investments $7,792,064 $5,898,293

CCI purchased an office building with endowment funds during 1990. As of August 31, 1999, the building was substantially occupied by CCI program and department staff. Accumulated depreciation on this investment was $340,254 and $304,354 as of August 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

6. RELATED PARTIES There is a receivable from Emory University related to program expenses for which Emory University has agreed to reimburse CCI. In addition, CCI leases office space to CCEU (Note 7).

7. LEASES CCI leases space to various entities under noncancelable leases with various terms. CCI leases to CCEU approximately 20% of CCI’s space under a lease for a term of 99 years with a rental payment of $1 per year. A business agreement with CCI’s caterer has no annual rent; rather, CCI receives 5% to 10% of the tenant’s gross revenue, as defined. Rental income from these leases is included in facilities use income in the accompanying statements of activities.

8. THE ATLANTA PROJECT PROGRAM Headquarters LEASE CCI leased space for TAP headquarters under an agreement with an initial term of two years, which commenced May 1, 1992, and two renewal terms of two years each. During fiscal year 1998, this lease agreement was extended through August 31, 1999. CCI was not obligated to pay any base rents during the initial or renewal terms of the lease, as CCI expended more than $500,000 toward leasehold improvements. The space leased by CCI was provided as is, and all leasehold improvements funded by CCI became a part of the lessor’s property. The value of the contributed space is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements, since it is not susceptible to objective measurement or valuation. Prepaid rent is being amortized over the initial term of the lease, including the two renewal options, commencing with the date the space was occupied. Rent expense for this space was approximately $33,500 and $221,000 during the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
