Board of Directors
Messenger International, Inc.
and Subsidiary
Palmer Lake, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Messenger International, Inc. and
Subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the
related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Messenger International, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in
their net assets and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers. Messenger International, Inc. records an
allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection
information, and existing economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2018 and
2017, was $0 and $44,081, respectively. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30, 60, or 90 days after the
issuance of the invoice. For accounts that are unpaid after the due date, Messenger International, Inc. has the
option to charge interest at 1% per month. Accounts receivable past due for more than 120 days are considered
delinquent. Interest continues to accrue on delinquent accounts until the account is past due more than one year,
at which time interest accrual ceases and does not resume until the account is no longer classified as delinquent.
Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the
customer.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists of books, curriculums, and other media applications. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost
or net realizable value, using the average cost method (this method approximates the first-in, first-out
methodology), or, if donated, at fair value at the date of the gift. Inventory is shown net of a reserve for slow
moving inventory of $68,739 and $78,613 at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

MESSENGER INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue consists of registration fees for the annual Messenger Cup and is recognized when earned. The
Messenger Cup occurs in July of each year and therefore is fully recognized as revenue the month subsequent to
year end.
NET ASSETS
The consolidated financial statements report amounts by class of net assets as follows:
Unrestricted net assets are those currently available to support Messenger International, Inc.'s operations and
those resources invested in property and equipment.

International, Inc. projects.

MESSENGER INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Contributions are recorded when made, which may be when cash and other assets are received or when
unconditionally promised. Gifts of cash and other assets are reported as restricted support if they are received
with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated amounts. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when
a stipulated purpose restriction is satisfied, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net
assets and reported in the consolidated statements of activates as net assets released from restrictions. Donated
materials, professional services, and other noncash gifts are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of
donation.
