WHAT’S Your life is part of a greater story than what you see every day. Thank you for joining with us to share the beautiful story of God’s grace, redemption, provision and great, great love around the world. We’d love to hear from you. Share your story at joycemeyer.org/mystory FINANCIALS FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2011 This year has been an amazing time of sharing Christ and loving people. We’ve had a wonderful year of sharing our lives, seeing how our stories intertwine as God’s story of grace and redemption is told. What an awesome journey we are all on together! Psalm 107:2 encourages the redeemed ones to “tell their story.” It helps give others a sense of hope. I often tell how God changed my life from one of abuse and brokenness to one of healing and wholeness…of beauty for ashes. He turned my mess into a message of hope, not only for me but for the countless others who hear my story and begin to trust and believe that God can do the same for them. That’s the case with so many of the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Thanks to you, as you’ve received healing and wholeness, or even in your process of healing, you have reached out to help someone else be made whole as well. It’s all about watching God’s story continue to unfold as every life connects with the next when paths cross. I hope you’ve been encouraged as you’ve read through this report of the past year. We want you to know that your story is intertwined in everything you see—every feeding program, every disaster relief effort, every TV and radio broadcast—everything. Your support helps make it all happen. Thank you so much for helping us to keep sharing Christ and loving people. 64 STATEMENT OF TRANSPARENCY 65 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 66 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 66 STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION 67 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES 68 SCHEDULE OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES 70 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS 71 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 76 MANAGEMENT REPORT TO SUPPORTERS REGARDING COMPENSATION 77 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON MANAGEMENT ASSERTIONS 78 MANAGEMENT REPORT TO SUPPORTERS REGARDING PROGRAM EXPENSES 79 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON MANAGEMENT ASSERTIONS As the story goes on, 62 joycemeyer.org/annualreport OUR STORY 2011 63 A COMMITMENT TO MAINTAIN TRUST AND PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS »» Joyce Meyer Ministries, Inc. expensed 83 percent of total expenditures for outreach and program services directed at reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and meeting the physical needs of the less fortunate all over the world. »» Joyce Meyer Ministries, Inc. voluntarily submits to an annual audit by an independent public accounting firm.

In its ministry as a church, Joyce Meyer Ministries, Inc., (the Church or JMM) conducts regular meetings worldwide, teaching biblical principles. Through its daily media outreach, millions of people receive the life-changing biblical teaching through the Church’s television and radio programs, CDs, DVDs, books, websites and conferences. The Church’s missions and outreach programs include rescuing people from human trafficking, medical/dental outreaches, water relief, feeding the poor, clothing the unclothed, visiting the prisoners, helping in inner cities, ministering to the elderly and reaching out and training people of all ages. The Church provides funding and helps oversee several children’s homes that supply food and shelter to needy children. The Church provides global humanitarian aid to hurting people and disaster relief on a regular basis to those in devastating situations. The Church employs approximately 516 individuals to carry out its Christian and charitable purposes. NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Church have been prepared on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader. 2. Revenue Recognition The Church reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net assets. Gifts and contributions received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the asset are reported as restricted assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose of the contribution is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions expire in the fiscal year in which the contributions are recognized. No amounts have been reflected in the statements for donated services since no objective basis is generally available to measure the value of such services; however, a substantial number of volunteers have donated significant amounts of time to the Church’s program services. During 2011, approximately 77,000 hours were donated from volunteers for meetings and conferences. The Church periodically exchanges educational resources with donors based on a designated contribution. At December 31, 2011, the cost of these direct donor benefits was approximately $2.45 million. These costs are included as an offset to unrestricted contributions in the statement of activities. The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 70 joycemeyer.org/annualreport OUR STORY 2011 71 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. Use of Estimates 10. Deferred Revenues The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Deferred revenues are generated from registration fees collected for 2012 conferences. December 31, 2011 4. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Church considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows. Deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) coverage were approximately $5,840,000 at December 31, 2011. The Church maintains sufficient cash resources to cover near-term working capital needs. 5. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Management believes these amounts to be fully collectible. Accounts receivable is comprised of the following: approximately $13,200 of insurance receivable, approximately $20,300 in royalties receivable, approximately $30,000 of accrued interest and approximately $68,500 of miscellaneous items. December 31, 2011 11. Income Taxes The Church is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as such the Church does not file income tax returns. 12. Expenses Advertising Costs – Are expensed as incurred. Allocation of Fundraising Costs – The Church allocates fundraising costs in accordance with Statement of ASC 958-720-05 “Accounting for Costs of Activities of Not-for-Profit Organizations and State and Local Governmental Entities That Include Fundraising.” Joint costs affecting programs and fundraising have been reviewed by management and meet the criteria established by the Statement of Position. During 2011, approximately $6.25 million of television and radio ministry expenses, meeting expenses, monthly mailing costs, and other expenses have been allocated to fundraising. 13. Subsequent Events The Church has evaluated subsequent events through March 29, 2012, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. 6. Inventories Inventory consists of books, CDs, DVDs and all other related items utilized in the media operation of the Church. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the first-in first-out basis. 7. Fixed Assets and Depreciation Expenditures and donated fixed assets in excess of $5,000 are recorded at cost if purchased or estimated fair market value if donated. Depreciation of fixed assets is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis, ranging from 3-40 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense as incurred. 8. Investments The Church’s investments consist of government securities and bank certificates of deposits. The certificates of deposit total $3,405,774 and are stated at fair value based on quoted market price in an open market, which represent “Level 1 Inputs.” The government securities total $7,346,202 and are stated at fair value based on significant other observable inputs of directly comparable securities which represent “Level 2 Inputs,” as they are part of a less active secondary market. During the year, there were no transfers between input levels. Dividend, interest and other investment income are reported in the period earned as increases in unrestricted net assets unless the use of the assets received is limited by donor-imposed restrictions, in which case the earnings are reported in the same category as the donations. NOTE C – INVENTORIES Inventories include the following at December 31, 2011: Finished goods: CDs $ DVDs Books Kits Other inventory items Supplies to produce finished goods 346,788 1 2 7,670 823,758 561,604 509,343 201,609 $ 2,570,772 9.

NOTE E – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES NOTE H – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Airtime The Church is occasionally involved in litigation as either a plaintiff or defendant arising in the normal course of its activities. The results thereof are not expected to be significant to the Church’s financial position or operating activities. The Church has radio and TV airtime contracts extending to 2012. These contracts may be terminated with a fourteen to sixty day notification. The average monthly cost of these contracts is approximately $2.6 million. Self-Insurance The Church self-insures for workers’ compensation and employee health claims. Operations are charged with the cost of claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. A liability for unpaid claims and the associated claim expenses is recognized as an expense and accrued at year-end. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability are continually reviewed by management and a third party. The Church has purchased stop-loss insurance to supplement the plans, which will reimburse the Church for workers’ compensation claims in excess of $300,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate.
