2. Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors
PCI - Media Impact, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of PCI - Media Impact, Inc.
(“Media Impact”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of activities, functional
expenses and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of Media Impact's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has
been derived from Media Impact’s 2010 financial statements, and, in our report dated April 12,
2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
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 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 Media Impact’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 PCI - Media Impact, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 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.

1. Organization and Tax Status
PCI - Media Impact, Inc.’s (“Media Impact”) unique approach to communications combines
the principles of Entertainment-Education with the reach of mass media to mobilize individual
and community action and catalyze positive change. Entertainment-Education is a form of
entertainment designed to educate and amuse audiences and can be done with a variety of
formats, ranging from comic books, to TV, radio productions, and street theatre. Our
programs primarily focus on promoting sexual and reproductive health, prevention of
HIV/AIDS, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, human rights and democracy.
Media Impact is a not-for-profit organization exempt from income taxes under Sections
501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires the Media Impact’s management to make
certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
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.
Operating Measure
Media Impact has elected to present an operating measure in its statement of activities.
Accordingly, items not affecting operations are segregated from those affecting operations.
Items not affecting operations include bequests and other planned giving.
Basis of Presentation
Unrestricted net assets include funds having no restriction as to use or purpose imposed by
donors. Temporarily restricted net assets are those whose use is limited by donors to a
specific time period or purpose. Permanently restricted net assets are limited by donors for
investment in perpetuity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For statement of cash flows purposes, Media Impact considers investments in highly liquid
debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents, except for those held for investment purposes.
Contributions and Grants
Contributions are recognized as revenue when an unconditional promise to give is made
and the gift is subject to reasonable valuation. Contributions are considered to be available
for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. Contributions receivable
consist of gifts pledged. Grant awards received for specific purposes are recognized as
support and revenue to the extent related expenses are incurred in compliance with the
specific grants terms.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Contributions and Grants (continued)
The unexpended funds are considered refundable advances and reported as advances
payable. Media Impact believes that all grants and other receivables are collectible.
Contributed Services
Contributed services are reported as contributions at their fair value if such services create or
enhance non-financial assets, or would have been provided by donation, require specialized
skills, and are provided by individuals possessing such specialized skills.
Fair Value Measurements
Media Impact follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on Fair Value
Measurements which defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy organized into
three levels based upon the input assumptions used in pricing assets. Level 1 inputs have
the highest reliability and are related to assets with unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets. Level 2 inputs relate to assets with other than quoted prices in active markets
which may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs which can be
corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and are
used to the extent that observable inputs do not exist.
Investment Income Recognition
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized
and unrealized gains and losses are included in the determination of the change in net
assets.
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment
Media Impact capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment in excess of $1,000.
Leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost or fair value on the date of
donation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets. Office furniture and computer equipment are deemed to have a
useful life of between five and seven years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and
amortized over the period of the lease and expected renewal. Equipment leased under capital
leases is amortized over their economic useful lives.
Functional Allocation of Expenses
Expenses have been charged to program and supporting services, either directly when
identifiable to a specific program, or indirectly based on management's estimate of the
functional area benefited.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Split-Interest Agreements
Split-interest agreements with donors consist primarily of charitable gift annuities and a
charitable remainder unitrust. A charitable gift annuity provides for payments of fixed
amounts to the donor or other designated beneficiaries over the annuity's term (usually the
designated beneficiary's lifetime). The assets received are recorded at fair value when
received and a payment liability is recognized for the present value of the future cash flows
expected to be paid to the donor's designated beneficiary. The difference between these
two amounts is recorded as unrestricted contribution revenue unless the donor restricts the
use of the gift. The initial present value of the estimated future payments is determined
using appropriate discount rates and mortality tables. On an annual basis, Media Impact
revalues the gift annuity liability for principal payments made, the amortization of the initial
discount associated with the gift annuity, and revaluations of expected future payments to
beneficiaries, based on changes in life expectancy and other actuarial assumptions.
Media Impact has a beneficial interest in a charitable remainder trust, which is a time-
restricted contribution not available to Media Impact until after the death of the donor, who,
while living, receives an annual payout from the trust based on a fixed percentage of the
market value of the invested funds. The value of Media Impact’s beneficial interest in the
charitable trust is estimated to be equivalent to the discounted present value of Media
Impact’s future cash flows from the trust. The underlying assets in the trust are principally
marketable securities.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Media Impact recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more
likely than not of being sustained. Management has determined that the Organization had
no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. The
Organization is no longer subject to audits by the applicable taxing jurisdictions for periods
prior to December 31, 2008.
Subsequent Events Evaluation by Management
Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the
financial statements through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued,
which date is May 16, 2012.

Financial instruments that potentially subject Media Impact to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, contributions receivable and investments.
Media Impact maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and its policy is
designed to limit exposure to any one institution. At times, cash balances may be in excess
of balances insured by the FDIC.
10. Retirement Plans
Media Impact maintains a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of
eligible employees. Media Impact’s contribution rate, determined by its Board, was 6% for
2011 and 2010. Plan expense was $26,565 and $27,555 for 2011 and 2010.

12. Prior Year Information
The financial statements include certain prior year summarized comparative information in
total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to
constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with
Media Impact's financial statements for 2010, from which the summarized information was
derived.
13. Management Plans to Reduce Operating Deficits
The Board of Directors continues to evaluate the reasons for the operating deficits during
recent years. Media Impact has taken measures to manage costs, and expand fundraising
efforts with the organizational goal to achieve no drawdown from the board designated fund
in future years. Future plans and budgets are being developed to produce a positive change
in net assets.
