3 The Board of Directors Avon Products Foundation, Inc. Independent Auditors' Report We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Avon Products Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation ) which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related statements of activities, functional expenses 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 audit 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. 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 Avon Products Foundation, Inc. as of 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.

10 Notes to Financial Statements 1. Organization The Avon Products Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation ) was incorporated in the State of New York in 1955 by Avon Products, Inc. ( Avon ). The fundamental mission of the Foundation since its inception is to promote or aid charitable, scientific, educational, and humanitarian activities, with a special emphasis on those activities that improve the lives of women and their families. In its work to realize those aspirations, its current mission focus is on ending domestic and gender violence. It works toward achieving this goal through four complementary strategies: Funding, Convening, Initiating and Educating. The Foundation receives generous financial support to fund its mission initiatives from Avon and New Avon, LLC through special product sales and direct donations. On December 17, 2015, Avon entered into a separation and investment agreement providing for the separation of Avon s North-America business, which represented Avon s operations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, from Avon into New Avon LLC ( New Avon ), a privately-held company that is majority-owned and managed by Cerberus NA Investor LLC. These transactions closed on March 1, The Foundation also operates small additional programs that advance the Foundation s fundamental mission to improve the lives of women. Those programs include Avon and New Avon Representative and employee-eligible scholarships and Avon and New Avon employee matching gifts, which are all fully funded by Avon. It also raises funds and receives donations from Avon periodically for emergency relief and rehabilitation efforts in times of disasters, with a grant prioritization on organizations providing assistance for women and families who are affected. In 2013 the Foundation began to operate the Avon global reforestation grant program, Healthy Forests, Beautiful World, which is focused on mobilizing women to nurture nature and help reverse deforestation. In 2015, the Foundation concluded that it would result in efficiency and further the educational and charitable mission of the Breast Cancer Program to transfer the Breast Cancer Program to New Venture Fund ( NVF ), a 501 (c) (3) public charity with extensive experience in fiscal sponsorships and in managing complex programs. On September 2, 2015, NVF formed Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, LLC ( Crusade ) to support breast cancer research education, outreach, awareness and access to care. On September 11, 2015, the Foundation, NVF and the Crusade entered into a transfer and grant agreement whereby NVF and the Crusade assumed and accepted the role and responsibilities of the Foundation with respect to the Breast Cancer Program and its related activities as of November 1, The Crusade is managed by a Board of Managers which includes directors/and or officers of the Board of Directors of the Foundation. 8

11 Notes to Financial Statements 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The financial statement presentation is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( U.S. GAAP ) for nonprofit organizations, which requires the Foundation to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted net assets. There are no permanently restricted net assets. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements 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. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Foundation considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, including certificates of deposit, to be cash equivalents. Allowance for Uncollectable Receivables An allowance for uncollectable receivables is estimated based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and any specific known troubled accounts. Management has established an allowance for uncollectible pledges of $- and $56,951 at December 31, 2016 and Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Foundation follows U.S. GAAP on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy organized into three levels based upon the input assumptions used in pricing assets. Level 1 inputs have the highest reliability and are related to assets with unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 inputs relate to assets with other than quoted prices in active markets which may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs which can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and are used to the extent that observable inputs do not exist. Money market mutual funds included in cash equivalents are valued using level 1 inputs. Investments and Investment Income Investments consist of certificates of deposit valued at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value and have maturity dates ranging from greater than three months to seven years from the statement of financial position date. Income or losses from investments, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, are treated as an increase or decrease in unrestricted net assets unless otherwise specified by the donor. 9

12 Notes to Financial Statements 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Public Support and Revenue Unconditional promises to give are recorded as received. Unconditional promises to give due in the next year are reflected as current promises to give and are recorded at their net realizable value. Grants and other contributions of cash and other assets are reported as temporarily restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or a purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restriction. Royalty Fees The Foundation earns royalty fees from certain campaigns in which intellectual property of the Foundation is licensed. Royalty fees are recognized when earned. In-Kind Contributions Contributions of donated noncash assets are recorded at their fair values in the period received. Contributions of donated services that create or enhance nonfinancial assets or that require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchases if not provided by donation, are recorded at the fair value in the period received. Avon provided the Foundation with in-kind support of $637,509 and $2,410,602 for the years ending. These amounts are reflected in the financial statements as contributions and expenses. Grants Grants are recorded when a commitment is made and approved by the Board of Directors. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and supporting services have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services in reasonable ratios determined by management. 10

13 Notes to Financial Statements 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Tax Status The Foundation is a public charity and is exempt from Federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation recognizes the effects of income tax positions only when they are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that the Foundation has no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The Foundation is no longer subject to examinations by the applicable taxing jurisdictions for periods prior to Subsequent Events Evaluation by Management Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the financial statements through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, which date is September 15, Concentration Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Foundation to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Foundation maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Cash equivalents consist of investments in money market mutual funds held with two money managers the balance of which was $7,964,989 and $6,209,818 at December 31, 2016 and The Foundation monitors this risk on a regular basis. Investments consist of brokered certificates of deposit, all of which were less than federally insured limits. The Foundation has not experienced any losses in such accounts. 4.
