According to the American Forests (AF) audit of September 30, 2023 (Note 15, Results of Operations): "During the year ended September 30, 2023, AF experienced a net operating loss of $1,197,901, reducing the net assets balance to $13,037,363 at September 30, 2023. AF's total net assets remains positive; however, the loss is mainly recognized in the net assets without donor restrictions, resulting in a net deficit in net assets without donor restrictions of $1,509,948 at September 30, 2023. AF's net assets with donor restrictions at September 30, 2023 retain a positive balance, and management continues to adhere to proper spending on the restricted funds. As AF continues to grow and expand its sources of revenue, it is expected to rebuild all of its reserves in future years to positive levels of reserves and net asset balances. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if AF is unable to continue as a going concern."
