3 CRAWLEY, LEE & COMPANY, P.A. Certified Public Accountants and Management Consultants PO. Box 5595Asheville, NC I I FAX: Office: 59 Turtle Creek Drive Asheville, NC I crawleyleeandco.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Trustees Warren Wilson College Asheville, North Carolina Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Warren Wilson College (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 auditors' 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Warren Wilson College as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

4 The Board oftrustees Warren Wilson College Page Two Emphasis of Matter As explained in Note C, the financial statements include investments valued at $8,045,487 (1 0% of net assets), whose fair values have been estimated by management in the absence of readily determinable fair values. Management's estimates are based on information provided by the fund managers. Other Matters Report on Supplementary and Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedules 1-5, including the schedule of expenditures of federal and State awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part ofthe consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September , on our consideration of Warren Wilson College's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Warren Wilson College's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

9 WARREN WILSON COLLEGE NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30,2016 AND 2015 Note A- Organization and funding: Warren Wilson College is an independent, fully accredited, four-year, liberal arts, primarily residential college located just outside Asheville, N011h Carolina. The mission of Warren Wilson College is to provide an education combining liberal arts study, work, and service with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and experiential opportunities for international and cross-cultural understanding in a setting that promotes wisdom, spiritual growth, and contribution to the common good. The College is funded primarily by tuition from student enrollment, alumni and other contributions, federal and state grants, and investment income. On June 18, 2015, the College formed Warren Wilson College Foundation, LLC (a limited liability company) of which the College is the sole member. On January 7, 2016, the College sold land and buildings to the Warren Wilson College Foundation, LLC for $16,158,129 and leases the property from the LLC for the College's use. Note B- Summary of significant accounting policies: Basis of accounting: The consolidated financial statements of the College have been prepared utilizing the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the College's activities and the activities of its affiliated organization, Warren Wilson College Foundation, LLC, which is wholly-owned and operated by the College. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial statement presentation: The College has presented its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for not-for-profit organizations. Under this guidance, the College is required to report 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. Contributions: Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. Donor restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or the purpose of the restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the consolidated Statements of Activities as net assets released from restrictions. Receivables: Receivables are stated at unpaid balances less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The College employs two methods of valuing receivables, the direct write-off and the allowance method. The direct write-off method recognizes a bad debt expense only when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible. The allowance method provides for estimation of a percentage of each period's ending accounts receivable, which will prove uncollectible based on prior experience. The amount determined is recognized as a period cost. The College employs the direct write-off method for College loan funds and the allowance method for the Perkins Loan Fund, student accounts receivable, and the unconditional promises to give. An allowance for uncollectible accounts for student accounts receivable and unconditional promises to give is provided based on historical bad debt experience and evaluation of the age of the accounts. The allowance for the Perkins Loan Fund is estimated at 3% of the outstanding balance. Interest income on student notes receivable is accrued based on 1.5% of the unpaid balance of the note receivable. Interest income on the Perkins Loan Fund is accrued from the beginning of the repayment period on 5% ofthe unpaid balance. 7

10 Note B- Summary of significant accounting policies- continued: Split-interest agreements: Gift annuity trusts: The College administers various gift annuity trusts. A gift annuity trust provides for the payment of a prescribed amount to the grantor or other designated beneficiaries over the trust's term (usually the designated beneficiary's lifetime). At the end of the trust's term, the remaining assets are available for the College's use. Upon termination, the principal of each annuity is transferred to the net asset group designated by the grantor or, in absence of such a designation, to the unrestricted net assets designated for endowment. In the period the trust is established, the portion of the trust attributable to the future interest of the College is recorded in the consolidated Statements of Activities as contributions in the net assets class in which the assets will be placed at the end of the trust. Assets held in the gift annuity trusts are recorded at fair market value in the College's consolidated Statements of Financial Position. On an annual basis, the College revalues the liability based on actuarial assumptions. The present value of the estimated future payments is calculated using a discount rate based on the annuity interest rate for all annuities prior to 1991 and the prevailing federal midterm rate for all annuities after 1991 and applicable mortality tables. Charitable remainder trusts: The College is also the beneficiary of various charitable remainder trusts of which it is not the trustee. Upon the College's notification of such a trust, a beneficial interest in charitable remainder trust and temporarily or permanently restricted contribution revenue is recorded at the present value of the expected future benefits to be received from the College's share of the trust's assets. The College recognized no contribution revenue from charitable remainder trusts in 2016 and The change in the value ofthe split-interest agreements is $(143,100) and $(52,801) in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Beneficial interest in perpetual trusts: The College is the beneficiary of perpetual trusts. The assets are to be held indefinitely in trust. Upon the College's notification of such a trust, permanently restricted contribution revenue is recorded at the present value of the estimated future cash receipts from the College's share of the trust's assets. The College recognized no revenue for perpetual trusts for 2016 and The gain (loss) on the trusts is $(271,485) and $(181,490) in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Investments: Investments in certificates of deposit and time deposits are stated at cost. Investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all debt securities are stated at fair value as provided by external investment managers based on quoted market values. Investments in alternative investments, which do not have readily determinable fair values, are valued at the net asset value per share provided by the fund managers. Donated marketable securities are recorded as contributions at their market values at date of receipt. Fair value measurements: Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 -quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 -unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the College utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Levels are determined based on the aforementioned hierarchy. Inventories: Farm animals are valued by the unit-livestock price method of valuing raised livestock. Under this method, raised livestock, depending on age and kind, is valued at market. 8

11 Note B - Summary of significant accounting policies- continued: Prope11y and equipment: Expenditures for equipment having a unit cost of $1,500 and building improvements having a cost of $25,000 or more are capitalized. Property and equipment are stated at cost or amounts assigned at date of gift, less accumulated depreciation, computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Inexhaustible collections are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings and improvements Equipment 5-30 years 3-7 years During the year ended June 30, I 991, the College inventoried its buildings and corrected their recording to approximate historical cost. Likewise, during the year ended June 30, 1992, equipment was recorded in the same manner. Intangible assets: The College amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets include those costs incurred by the College that were directly associated with the negotiation and consummation of the note payable with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These costs include the commissions, legal fees, and other costs associated with negotiating this loan. Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years, the life of the loan. Donated services and materials: Through June 30, 1994 the College recorded all donated materials at $0.50. Beginning July I, 1994 all donated materials with an appraisal value of at least $5,000 are recorded at fair market value and the donations of lesser value are recorded at $0.50. Donated services are considered immaterial and are not recorded. Income taxes: Warren Wilson College is a nonprofit corporation under the laws of the State of North Carolina. It has qualified for exemption from federal income taxes under Section 50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. In addition, the College qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b )(I )(A) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). Tax positions: The College's policy is to evaluate all tax positions and to consult with experts to identify those that may be considered uncertain. All identified material tax positions will be assessed and measured by a reasonably possible threshold to determine if the benefit of an uncertain tax position should be recognized in the financial statements. Any changes in the amount of a tax position will be recognized in the period the change occurs. The College is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except on income derived from unrelated business activities. The College's federal Returns of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) for 2015, 2014, and 2013 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed. The College's federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns (Form 990T) for 2015,2014, and 2013 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed. Promises to give: Unconditional promises to give are recognized as revenues or gains in the period received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses depending on the form of the benefits received. Unconditional promises to give to be received in more than one year are estimated based on future cash flows discounted at 5% for both 2016 and Conditional promises to give are not recognized, as they do not meet the criteria for recognition. Cash and cash equivalents: For the purpose of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the College considers all ready asset and money market account balances with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, except those that are part of an investment portfolio. Cash and cash equivalents received with donorimposed restrictions limiting their use to long-term purposes are not considered cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 9

12 Note B- Summary of significant accounting policies- continued: Derivatives: Derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at their fair value. The gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Activities in the period of change. The College's interest rate risk management strategy is to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap contracts to convert variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. Tuition, scholarships, and financial aid: Gross tuition and fees reflect the College's normal tuition rates for all students. Scholarships given on the basis of financial need are netted against gross tuition and fees to the extent they exceed incremental costs incurred. Employees and dependents of employees who attend the College are not required to pay tuition. The amount is included in gross tuition and in the same functional expense category as the employee's compensation in the Consolidated Statements of Activities. Functional expenses: The College allocates its expenses on a functional basis among its various programs and support services. Expenses that can be identified with a specific program or support service are allocated directly according to their nature and expenditure classification. Other expenses that are common to two or more functions are allocated based on management's estimate of the program activities benefited. Academic and institutional support expenses include those expenses that are not directly identifiable with any other specific function but provide for the overall support and direction of the College. 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 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. Subsequent events: Subsequent events have been evaluated through September 2, 2016, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

The investments in this category may be redeemed quarterly with 90 days written notice to the fund. Note D- Endowment funds: The Board of Trustees of the College has interpreted the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the College classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the College in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIF A. In accordance with UPMIF A, the College considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor restricted endowment funds: (1) the duration and preservation of the various funds, (2) the purposes of the donor restricted endowment funds, (3) general economic conditions, ( 4) the possible effect of inflation and deflation, (5) the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments, (6) other resources ofthe College, and (7) the College's investment policies. Endowment investment and spending policies. The College has adopted investment and spending policies, approved by the Board of Trustees, for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of these endowment assets over the long-term. The College's spending and investment policies work together to achieve this objective. This investment policy establishes an achievable return objective through diversification of asset classes. The College adopted an environmental, social and governance investment (ESG) policy in October 20 I 5. The current long-term return objective is to protect the corpus of assets in real terms and to achieve the highest, prudent real return possible. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the College relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The College targets a diversified asset allocation. As of June 30,2016 and 2015, $3,646,107 and $3,906,228 respectively, of the endowment funds are held in perpetual trusts, the investment of which is determined by the trustee rather than the College. In 2016 and 2015, the spending policy calculates the disbursements from the endowment funds based on 7.3% of the average fair value ofthe prior 12 quarters. The increased endowment draw above 5% was used to offset expenditures as appropriate within the operating budget, with the funds thus displaced used to create the Strategic Investment Fund. The spending rate for restricted funds that did not displace other funds within the operating budget remained at 5%. This spending policy allows for preservation of principal as well as capital appreciation. This is consistent with the College's objective to maintain the purchasing power of endowment assets as well as to provide additional real growth through investment return. 13
