3 Victoria W. Mwangi, CPA dba VM Accounting Services INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT March 27, 2013 Board of Directors Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. Marin, California I have audited the accompanying Statement of Financial Position of Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. (California not-for-profit corporation) as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of Activities, Functional Expenses, and Cash Flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit 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 United States Comptroller General. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. as of June 30, 2012 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with the Government Auditing Standards, I have also issued my report dated March 27, 2013 on my consideration of the Agency s internal control over financial reporting and on my 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 my testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of my audit College Ave. Ste 240, Santa Rosa, CA Tel: (707) Fax: (707) Vicky@vm-cpa.com

10 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Nature of business and significant accounting policies a. Homeward Bound of Marin is a not-for profit corporation organized in 1974 to provide housing, housing counseling and referral, crisis management and related social services to persons in need, and to promote and develop both temporary and permanent housing resources for such persons. Major sources of funding include grants from federal, state and local governments, foundation grants and contributions. b. Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of Homeward Bound of Marin, have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other accrued liabilities. c. Financial Statement Presentation - The Agency reports 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. At June 30, 2012 there were no permanently restricted net assets. d. Contributions - The Agency reports contributions of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the purpose or time of use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or 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 restrictions. e. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Agency considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. f. Fixed Assets - Fixed assets are carried at cost or at estimated fair market value when received as a donation. The Agency capitalizes items in excess of $1,000. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from five to seven years for office furniture and equipment, and up to fifty years for buildings and improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $400,208 and accumulated depreciation was $2,873,

11 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Nature of business and significant accounting policies (Cont). g. Income Taxes - The Agency is a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation under Section 501c(3) of the Internal revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Continuance of such exempt status is subject to compliance with laws and regulations of the taxing authorities. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Agency is not a private foundation. h. Unemployment Claims - In accordance with provisions of the California Unemployment Insurance Code concerning non-profit organizations, the Agency has elected to reimburse the cost of unemployment benefits paid by the State in lieu of making contributions normally required of tax rate employers. (See Note 5) i. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. j. Functional Allocation of Expenses - The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the Statement of Functional Expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services. k. Donated Services and Items - Many people have contributed significant amounts of time and supplies to the activities of the Agency without compensation. The financial statements do not reflect the value of all the contributed services and items, except as reported, because, although clearly substantial, no reliable basis exists for determining an appropriate valuation. Note 2. Grants receivable Grants receivable consisted of the following at June 30, 2012: Temporarily restricted for Programs $ 533,303 Unrestricted 256,271 Total $ 789,574 Over 97% of grants receivable are from government agencies.

The Agency believes that it has not taken any tax positions that would not meet this requirement. The Agency is subject to routine audits by taxing authorities until the expiration of the related statutes of limitations.

16 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 10. Contingencies Funding Sources - The Agency receives a substantial amount of its support from Marin Community Foundation, federal, state, and local governments. A significant reduction in the level of this support, if this were to occur, may have an effect on the Agency s programs. Real Property Liens - The Agency has received numerous Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for the acquisition and improvement of land and buildings. With CDBG, the Marin County Planning Department records a lien on the property that has been purchased or improved with the CDBG funds. The amount of the lien is based on the percentage of the amount of the CDBG grants to the estimated value of the property at the time of the grants. In the event the Agency should sell the property or alter its use, the County could enforce the liens and would be entitled to its percentage of the sales proceeds from any sale, conveyance, encumbrance, grant or lease, less closings costs of the property at that time. At June 30, 2012, the following liens existed: 64 percent of the value of 430 Mission Avenue 3.3 percent of the value of 430 Mission Avenue 17.1 percent of the value of 190 Mill Street 31 percent of the value of 190 Mill Street 8.2 percent of the value of 1385 North Hamilton Parkway (The Next Key) 4.5 percent of the value of 430 Mission Avenue The Agency received additional CDBG funds during the year ended June 30, The lien amounts relating to these funds had not been determined at June 30, Note 11.

20 Victoria W. Mwangi, CPA dba VM Accounting Services AUDITOR S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND THER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS March 27, 2013 To the Board of Directors Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. San Rafael, California I have audited the financial statements of Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, and have issued my report thereon dated March 27, I conducted my audit 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. INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING In planning and performing my audit, I considered the Agency s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency s internal control over financial reporting. 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 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. My consideration of internal control over financial reporting 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 financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. I did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that I consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above College Ave. Ste 240, Santa Rosa, CA Tel: (707) Fax: (707) vicky@vm-cpa.com

21 AUDITOR S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND THER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS (Cont.) COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS As a part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Agency s financial statements are free of material misstatement, I 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 my audit, and accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. The results of my tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. This report in intended solely for the information and use of the board of directors, finance committee, management and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

22 Victoria W. Mwangi, CPA dba VM Accounting Services REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 March 27, 2013 Board of Directors Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. Santa Rosa, California Compliance I have audited the compliance of Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) with the types of compliance requirements described in U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circlar A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, The Agency s major federal programs are identified in the summary of the auditor s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of the laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the Agency s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Agency s compliance based on my audit. I conducted my 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 United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States and Local Governments and Non-profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that I 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 program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Agency s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as I considered necessary in the circumstances. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. My audit does not provide legal determination of the Agency s compliance with those requirements. In my opinion, Homeward Bound of Marin, Inc., complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of the major federal programs for the year ended June 30, College Ave. Ste 240, Santa Rosa, CA Tel: (707) Fax: (707) vicky@vm-cpa.com

23 REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 (CONT). Internal control over compliance The Agency s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing my audit, I considered the Agency s internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency 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 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 a material noncompliance with the type of compliance requirement of a federal program, will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. My consideration of the 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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. I did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that I consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of directors, finance committee, management, federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be used and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties.
