Board of Directors
Legal Momentum
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Legal Momentum (the
"Organization") as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of activities, functional
expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Legal Momentum as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in its net assets
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
The Organization:
Legal Momentum (the "Organization"), formerly known as the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund,
was established in 1970 under the not-for-profit laws of the District of Columbia. The Organization pursues
equality for women and girls in the workplace, the schools, the family and the courts, using a variety of
strategies, including litigation, policy analysis, administrative advocacy and public education programs.
The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code and from state and local taxes under comparable laws. The Organization filed an election with the
Internal Revenue Service to make expenditures to influence legislation.
[2]
Financial reporting:
(a) Basis of accounting:
The accompanying financial statements of the Organization have been prepared using the accrual basis
of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
as applicable to not-for-profit entities.
(b) Functional allocation of expenses:
The costs of providing the Organization's various programs and supporting services have been
summarized on a functional basis in the accompanying statements of activities. Accordingly, certain
costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services using reasonable ratios
determined by management.
(c) 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,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents:
The Organization considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased. Deposits have been pledged as collateral for a letter of credit (see
Note G).
(e) Net assets:
The net assets of the Organization and the changes therein are classified and reported as follows:
(i)
Unrestricted:
Unrestricted net assets represent those resources for which there are no donor restrictions as to
their use.

Fair-value measurement:
The Organization reports a fair-value measurement of all applicable financial assets and liabilities, including
investments, grants receivable, accounts receivable, short-term payables and debt. (For the fair valuation of
investments, see Note B.)
[6]
Revenue recognition:
Contributions to the Organization are recorded as revenue upon the receipt of cash or unconditional
pledges. Contributions are considered available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the
donors. The Organization records bequest income at the time it has an established right to a bequest and
the expected proceeds are measurable.
Government and foundation grants are recorded as restricted support when received and released from
restrictions as the funds are spent and the restrictions are satisfied.
Rental income is recorded in accordance with the terms of underlying leases.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
Deferred rent:
The difference between rent expense incurred by the Organization on an accrual basis and the lesser
amounts paid in cash is attributable to scheduled rent increases and is reported as a deferred rent liability in
the accompanying statements of financial position.
[8]
Accrued vacation:
Based on their tenure, the Organization's employees are entitled to be paid for unused vacation time if they
leave the Organization. Accordingly, at each fiscal year-end, the Organization must recognize a liability for
the amount that would be incurred if employees with such unused vacation time were to leave. At June 30,
2011 and 2010, this accrued vacation obligation was $92,428 and $144,748, respectively, and was reported
as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying statements of financial position.
[9]
Endowment fund:
The Organization reports all applicable disclosures to its funds treated as endowment.
Directors has not designated any unrestricted funds to function as endowment (see Note J).

Fair-value measurement as defined in ASC 820-10-05 prescribes three levels of fair-value measurement as
follows:
Level 1:
Valuations are based on observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The types of investments included in Level 1
are exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds.
Level 2:
Valuations are based on (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or
(ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
(iii) pricing inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable at the reporting
date. Level 2 assets include bond funds that are redeemable at or near the balance sheet date.
Level 3:
Fair value is determined based on pricing inputs that are unobservable and includes situations
where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Level 3 assets include those
privately held investments and securities held in limited offshore hedge funds and private capital
funds.
The classification of investments within the fair-value hierarchy is not an indication of the risks, liquidity, or degree
of difficulty in estimating the fair value of each investment. The following summarizes the fair values of the
