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 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 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 auditors consider 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.

9 NOTES TO FINANCIAL NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION Augustana Homes East Bridgeport, Inc. d/b/a Bishop Curtis Homes - East Bridgeport, HUD Project No. 017-EE-033 (the Project), is a 48-unit independent living facility for the elderly located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Augustana Homes East Bridgeport, Inc. is a not-for-profit, Connecticut non-stock corporation organized by The Bridgeport Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation (the Diocese), a related party through common members, directors and officers. The Project is operated under Section 202 of the National Housing Act. The Project received capital advances from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under Section 202 totaling $4,208,900 to renovate the facility pursuant to a note secured by a mortgage on the facility. The advances are non-interest bearing and need not be repaid as long as the housing remains available for eligible very low-income elderly individuals and families through Failure to keep the housing available for such individuals and families would result in HUD s calling all advances plus interest at 6.25% annually from July 1, 2004, the date of approval for occupancy by HUD. The capital advance is included in unrestricted net assets. The Project also has entered into a Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) with HUD and a significant portion of the Project s revenue is received as rental assistance based on operating cost standards established by HUD. The Project is regulated by HUD with respect to rental rates and operating methods. Rent from tenants and HUD housing assistance are the main sources of revenue for the Project. The Project s regulatory agreements require the following: 1. The Project may not increase rental rates without HUD s approval. 2. The Project must make annual deposits into an account for replacement of property and equipment. Expenditures from the account may not be made without HUD s approval. The amounts in the account are generally not available for operating purposes. 3. The Project must annually deposit surplus cash, if any, defined as cash balances, including accounts receivable from HUD and tenant security deposits held in trust, in excess of obligations due within 30 days, revenue received in advance and tenant security deposit liabilities, into a residual receipts account and withdrawals may not be made without HUD s approval. 4. The Project may not make distributions of assets or income to its officers or directors. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. -7-

10 NOTES TO FINANCIAL As a not-for-profit corporation, the Project s net assets are classified as unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets based upon the existence or absence of donorimposed restrictions limiting the use of the contributed assets. The Project has not received contributions from donors and, therefore, none of the Project s net assets are subject to donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, all net assets are reported as unrestricted net assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Project considers bank accounts and all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are reported at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Buildings Furniture and fixtures Maintenance and other equipment years 5-10 years 3-15 years Additions over $1,000 with a useful life greater than one year and betterments that extend useful life by greater than one year are capitalized. Other additions and betterments together with maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes Augustana Homes East Bridgeport, Inc. is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described under Section 501(c)(3), except to the extent it has taxable income from activities unrelated to its exempt purpose. No provision for income taxes was required for 2016 or The Project recognizes the benefits of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Project is subject to routine audits by the Internal Revenue Service. Subsequent Events Management has evaluated transactions and events that occurred through March 29, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for recognition and/or disclosure in these financial statements. -8-

Management s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the Project s major federal program based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Project s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for the major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Project s compliance. Blum, Shapiro & Company, P.C. -1- An independent member of Baker Tilly International

29 Opinion on the Major Federal Program In our opinion, the Project, complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended December 31, Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of the Project is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Project s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for the major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. -2-

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the 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 financial statements.

In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Shelton, Connecticut March 29,

33 2 Enterprise Drive P.O. Box 2488 Shelton, CT Tel Fax blumshapiro.com Independent Auditors Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards To the Board of Directors Augustana Homes East Bridgeport, Inc. d/b/a Bishop Curtis Homes - East Bridgeport Bridgeport, Connecticut We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of Augustana Homes East Bridgeport, Inc. d/b/a Bishop Curtis Homes - East Bridgeport (HUD Project No. 017-EE-033) (the Project), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016 and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 29, Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Project s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Blum, Shapiro & Company, P.C. -6- An independent member of Baker Tilly International

34 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the project s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the project s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Shelton, Connecticut March 29,
