INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of DirectorsUshahidi, Inc.Orlando, Florida

We have reviewed the accompanying statement of financial position of Ushahidi, Inc. (theOrganization) (a non-profit organization) as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements ofactivities and change in net assets, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended. A reviewincludes primarily applying analytical procedures to management's financial data and making inquiries ofcompany personnel. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is theexpression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do notexpress such an opinion.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and fordesigning, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentationof the financial statements.

Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards forAccounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Thosestandards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no materialmodifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of ourprocedures provide a reasonable basis for our report.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to theaccompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.

The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Organization'sDecember 31, 2013 financial statements, which were audited by other auditors and, in their report datedMarch 27, 2015, they expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSDECEMBER 31, 2014

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Organization -

Ushahidi, Inc. (the Organization) is a non-profit corporation exempt from income tax underSection 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization was founded in 2008 toadminister the Ushahidi Engine, which is a platform that allows anyone to gather distributeddata through SMS, email or web and visualize it on a map or timeline. The goal of theOrganization is to create the simplest way of aggregating information from the public for use incrisis response.

Basis of presentation -

The accompanying financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting, andin accordance with FASB ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities.

The financial statements include certain prior year summarized comparative information in totalbut not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute apresentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, suchinformation should be read in conjunction with the Organization's financial statements for theyear ended December 31, 2013, from which the summarized information was derived.

Cash and cash equivalents -

The Organization considers all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities ofthree months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014, the Organization had$50,456 of cash held at financial institutions in foreign countries to support operations in thosecountries.

Bank deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up toa limit of $250,000. At times during the year, the Organization maintains cash balances inexcess of the FDIC insurance limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to beminimal.

Fixed assets -

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Fixed assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-linebasis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to seven years. TheOrganization capitalizes all property and equipment with a cost of $1,000 or more. The cost ofmaintenance and repairs is recorded as expenses are incurred.

Revenue recognition -

Contributions are recorded as revenue in the year notification is received from the donor.Conditional promises to give are not recognized until they become unconditional, that is whenthe conditions on which they depend are substantially met (see Note 5). Contributionsreceivable at December 31, 2014 are recorded at their net realizable value and are all due inless than one year and are considered fully collectible; therefore, no allowance was recorded.

Temporarily restricted contributions are recognized as unrestricted support only to the extent ofactual expenses incurred in compliance with the donor-imposed restrictions and satisfaction oftime restrictions. Such funds in excess of expenses incurred are shown as temporarilyrestricted net assets in the accompanying financial statements.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GENERAL INFORMATION(Continued)

Revenue recognition (continued) -

Certain contracts with funding agencies are exchange transactions in which each party receivesand sacrifices commensurate value. Funds from exchange transactions are not consideredcontributions and, as such, are deemed to be earned and reported as project revenue whensuch funds have been expended towards the designated purpose.

Income taxes -

The Organization is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the InternalRevenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in theaccompanying financial statements. The Organization is not a private foundation.

Uncertain tax positions -

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Organization has documented its consideration ofFASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, that provides guidance for reporting uncertainty in incometaxes and has determined that no material uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognitionor disclosure in the financial statements.

The Federal Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, is subject toexamination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for three years after it is filed.

Software development costs -

The Organization develops open source software, which is available free of charge to users. Inaddition, due to the open source nature of the development, there is generally no passage oftime between achievement of technological feasibility and the availability for general release.Therefore, the Organization expenses the cost of software development as incurred.

Net asset classification -

The net assets are reported in two self-balancing groups as follows:

! Unrestricted net assets include unrestricted revenue and contributions received withoutdonor-imposed restrictions. These net assets are available for the operation of theOrganization and include both internally designated and undesignated resources.

! Temporarily restricted net assets include revenue and contributions subject to donor-imposed stipulations that will be met by the actions of the Organization and/or the passageof time. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified tounrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities and Change in Net Assetsas net assets released from restrictions.

Use of estimates -

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
