1 Report of Independent Auditors and Financial Statements for Seattle Biomedical Research Institute dba Center for Infectious Disease Research June 30, 2016 and 2015

2 To the Board of Trustees Seattle Biomedical Research Institute dba Center for Infectious Disease Research Report on Financial Statements REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Seattle Biomedical Research Institute dba Center for Infectious Disease Research (the Center), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 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 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. 1

3 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 financial position of Seattle Biomedical Research Institute dba Center for Infectious Disease Research 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.

8 Note 1 General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies General Seattle Biomedical Research Institute dba Center for Infectious Disease Research (the Center) is a private not-for-profit organization incorporated in 1976, to develop vaccines and drugs to prevent and treat the world s most devastating infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other neglected and emergin afflictions. In April 2015, the Center changed its dba name from Seattle BioMed to the Center for Infectious Disease Research in an effort to increase public engagement with its mission. For more information on the work of the Center, please visit Basis of Presentation The Center follows the provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for not-for-profit organizations regarding the classification of net assets. Under these provisions, net asset and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, the net assets of the Center and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Unrestricted Net Assets Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Center had no unrestricted net assets designated for specified use. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will be met either by actions of the Center and/or the passage of time (see Note 8). Permanently Restricted Net Assets Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that the Center maintains them permanently. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Center had no permanently restricted net assets. Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets, unless use of the related assets is limited by donor-imposed restrictions. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. Gains and losses on investments and other assets or liabilities are reported as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets, unless their uses are restricted by explicit donor restriction or by law. Expirations of temporary restrictions on net assets (i.e., the donor-stipulated purpose has been fulfilled and/or the stipulated time period has elapsed) are reported on the statement of activities as net assets released from restriction. Temporarily restricted support received during the fiscal period, for which the restriction expires or the purpose is accomplished during the same period, is reported as unrestricted support. 7

9 Note 1 General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Revenue Recognition: Grants and Contracts A substantial portion of the Center s revenue is derived from governmental and private grant awards that are restricted to specific program or project support. Current grant revenue is recognized as expenditures are made or liabilities are incurred in connection with fulfilling the specific restricted purposes of the award. Cash received in excess of grant expenditures is accounted for as restricted advances. Expenses incurred, which are not yet reimbursed, are accounted for as grants receivable. Contributions Contributions received, including unconditional promises to give, are recognized as revenues in the period received at their fair values. Contributions subject to donor-imposed restrictions for use in a future period or for a specific purpose are reported either as temporarily or permanently restricted, depending on the nature of the donor s restriction. When a donor restriction expires or is fulfilled, temporarily restricted assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported on the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions of equipment or other long term assets are recognized when pledged or received, whichever is earlier, and recorded at estimated fair values. Donated supplies and services are not significant, and have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Interest Income Interest income is recognized on operating assets including cash and cash equivalents, securities on deposit and loans to employees. The Center earned $11,430 and $3,910 in interest income for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is included in Rental, interest, program and other income on the statement of activities. Rental Income and Fees The Center subleases excess operating space associated with its long term building leases to third party tenants. Income recognized from subtenants includes rental income and associated operating and parking fees. The Center recognized $2,541,566 and $2,274,798 in rental income and fees for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, included in Rental, interest, program and other income on the statement of activities. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Center considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents held within the investment portfolio pursuant to the Center s investment policy are included in Investments on the statement of financial position. 8

10 Note 1 General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investments The Center s investments are recorded at fair value on the statements of financial position, and the realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are reported on the statement of activities as investment returns. All investments are initially recorded at acquisition cost when purchased. Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and investments in debt securities are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices (see Note 2). All other investments, for which quoted market prices are not available, are also reported at estimated fair value based on valuations provided by the external investment managers and the management of the investees. The Center did not hold any investments for which quoted market prices are not available at the years ended June 30, 2016 or The Center s Investments are managed by independent professional investment managers subject to oversight by a committee of the Board of Trustees (the Board). Grants and Accounts Receivables Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to change in net assets and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. The Center recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $8,413 and $0 for years ended 2016 and 2015 respectively. Contributions Receivable Contributions receivable consists of unconditional promises to give. Contributions coming due within a one year period are recorded as contributions receivable and are included in current assets on the statement of financial position. Contributions due more than one year in the future are reported in other non-current assets on the statement of financial position and as contributions in the statement of activities at their present value using a discounted cash flow model. Amortization of the discount is reported as contributions in the statement of activities. Conditional promises to give are not recorded as revenue until the donor imposed conditions have been met. An allowance for estimated uncollectible contributions receivable is recorded based on management s judgment and analysis of the creditworthiness of the donors, past collection experience, and other relevant factors. Accounts are written off against allowances when deemed uncollectible. The Center recorded no allowance for uncollectable at June 30, 2016 and Security Deposit The Center secures its building leases with a standby letter of credit from Key Bank in the amount of $1,811,213 and $1,801,569 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which was secured by a certificate of deposit in the same amount issued by Key Bank. 9

11 Note 1 General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Other Non-Current Assets Included in other non-current assets at June 30, 2016 and 2015 is $71,374 and $82,353, respectively, in notes receivable from an employee of the Center. The loan is reported at its outstanding principal balances plus accrued interest. The loan accrues interest a fixed rate of 2.4% at June 30, 2016 and 2015 and interest is calculated using the simple-interest method on principal amounts outstanding. The loan and accrued interest is forgivable 10.0% each year over ten years starting in December 2012 and is deemed compensation to the employee in the year forgiven. The loan plus all accrued interest is payable upon termination of the employee s employment. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost if property is purchased by the Center directly, and fair value if received through donation. The Center s capitalization threshold is $5,000. The Center charges ordinary maintenance to operations as incurred. The book value of property and equipment transferred as a result of program relocation to another institution is written off. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or lease term, if applicable, of assets ranging from 3 to 30 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1,417,096 and $1,509,806, respectively. A portion of the Center s equipment is subject to U.S. government grant administration policy, under which the federal government has retained the right to request a transfer of title to another grantee; however, this right is rarely exercised. Allocation of Functional Expenses The costs of conducting research programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 statement of financial position and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported on the statement of activities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes - The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Center is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code because the Center qualifies as an organization included within Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Center did not incur unrelated business income tax for the years ended June 30, 2016 or Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 10

12 Note 1 General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Center follows the provisions of authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Agency recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Center recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Center had no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual. Subsequent Events The Center has evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2016, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Note 2 Investments Fair Value Measurements The Organization applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The ASC describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Center invests in mutual fund accounts that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows as of June 30, 2016: Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fixed income $ 8,020,084 $ - $ - $ 8,020,084 Domestic equities 7,996, ,996,745 International equities 5,248, ,248,809 Real estate investment trust 931, ,074 Total $ 22,196,712 $ - $ - $ 22,196,712 11

13 Note 2 Investments (Continued) The Center invests in mutual fund accounts that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows as of June 30, 2015: Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fixed income $ 9,306,930 $ - $ - $ 9,306,930 Domestic equities 9,256, ,256,066 International equities 6,259, ,259,351 Real estate investment trust 943, ,943 Total $ 25,766,290 $ - $ - $ 25,766,290 Investment Policy The Center has adopted an investment policy the objectives of which are to invest to provide a relatively predictable and growing stream of quarterly distributions to support the Center s mission (see spending amount below) and to preserve the real purchasing power of the investments after inflation, costs and spending. Investments are diversified and standards for return, asset allocation and diversification are determined from a strategic perspective and measured over full market cycles, or at a minimum on a rolling threeyear basis. The Center incurs only those costs that are appropriate and reasonable in relation to Investment assets. The amount available for spending at the beginning of each fiscal quarter is calculated by multiplying a quarterly spending rate, the percentage of the investment to be distributed quarterly, times the average of the previous twelve fiscal quarters beginning-period value. The quarterly spending rate may be adjusted by the Board quarterly and is currently 1.25% percent (5% per year). Return on investment is reported under investment return on the statement of activities was recorded, net of fees of $30,685 and $0, for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: Interest income $ 592,598 $ 260,734 Realized loss (138,014) - Unrealized loss on investments (193,477) (494,444) $ 261,107 $ (233,710) 12

Construction was completed and the building occupied in March At June 30, 2014, the Center had a 49% member interest in the LLC. In February 2015, the LLC sold the Building to a third party purchaser. As a partner in the LLC, the Center received 49% of the proceeds from this sale. The Center uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in the LLC. Accordingly, the Center recognized $0 and $30,223,026 (including $2,507,106 in net restructure payments and a $1,109,992 write off of the cost that, in a prior year, the Center paid to purchase a previous members LLC share, both in connection with the sale of the Building) as its share of the LLC s income as investment returns in the statement of activities, and an increase in investment in affiliate in the statement of financial position for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Center received distributions from the LLC of $182,312 and $27,569,262, respectively, which were recorded as decreases in investment in affiliate in the statement of financial position in those periods.

The Original Lease had a ten-year term commencing March 2004, and options to extend for four periods of five years each. Effective April 1, 2014, the Organization exercised its first option to extend the Original Lease through March 31, In March 2007, the Center entered into an agreement to assume a lease of the 2 nd and 3 rd floors of the Building through June 30, 2017 (Assumed Lease). On February 11, 2015, the Center effectively terminated the Original and Assumed Leases with the LLC and entered into a new ten-year lease agreement with options to extend for two periods of five years each for the 1 st, 2 nd, 4 th and 5 th floors of the Building (New Lease) with the third party purchaser of the Building (see Note 3). As of June 30, 2015, the New Lease requires monthly lease payments of $390,496. Rent under the new lease will increase 3% annually during the term of the lease. Rent expense is recognized on a straightline basis over the life of the lease. The difference between rent recognized and rent paid is reported on the statement of financial position as deferred rent. A deferred rent liability, representing rent recognized in excess of rent paid totaled $693,356 and $194,475 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 6 Commitments and Contingencies Restricted grants and contributions require the fulfillment of certain conditions as set forth in funding agreements. Failure to fulfill the conditions could result in the return of the funds to grantors and contributors. Although this is a possibility, the Center s management considers the contingency remote. The Center has qualified for Washington State deferred sales and use taxes on specific assets used for research and development purposes. The sales and use tax liability is forgiven over an eight-year period as long as the assets continue to be used for research and development purposes. The Center receives a substantial amount of its support from federal governmental agencies. Amounts received are subject to audit and adjustments by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed cost, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability for the Center. The amounts of expenditures, if any, that may be disallowed by the grantor are recorded at the time that such amounts can be reasonably determined, normally upon notification by the governmental agency. Note 7 Concentrations Cash The Center frequently maintains significant cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions that are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. 15
