3 Independent Auditor s Report Board of Directors Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School Baltimore, MD We have audited the accompanying Statements of Financial Position of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School (a nonprofit School) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related Statements of Activities and Changes in Net Assets and Cash Flows for the years then ended. 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. Auditor s 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 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 auditor s 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

4 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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. Other Matters Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The schedule of functional expenses is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is also 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. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the 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 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 October 28, 2013, on our consideration of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

8 Notes to Financial Statements 1. School and significant accounting policies Organization: Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School (the School) was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation operated in the District of Columbia. The School was opened in 1999 as a four-year academic public charter high school dedicated to training young people for careers in the hospitality industry. Basis of accounting: The School prepares its financial records on the accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, support and revenue are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized as incurred. Basis of presentation: The School classifies revenues as restricted or unrestricted based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, the net assets of the School and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Unrestricted net assets - net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. Resources are available for general operations. Temporarily restricted net assets - net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that will be met either by actions of the School and/or the passage of time. 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 statements of activities and changes in net assets as released from restrictions. Cash and cash equivalents: The School considers all checking and savings accounts and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management does not believe that this results in any significant credit risk. Loan proceeds receivable: The School closed on the purchase of real property on June 26, 2012, funded by notes payable that restrict a portion of the loan proceeds as cash to be held as collateral. At June 30, 2013, the restricted cash had not yet been fully transferred to the School. Property and equipment: Equipment costing $1,000 or more is recorded at cost and depreciated over estimated useful lives of two to seven years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the life of the lease or the improvement. Property consists of the building and land purchased as the home of the School

9 Notes to Financial Statements Renovations were conducted on the building during the year ended June 30, 2013 and the school moved into the facility in June 2013 for the upcoming school year. The building will be depreciated over 39 years. Building improvements have an estimated useful life of 15 years. Revenue recognition: Charter School Per Pupil Funding A substantial portion of the School s revenue is derived from the District of Columbia Public School system, which is based on a student allocation formula linked to enrollment. Amounts received in advance for summer school are deferred. The average cost per student was approximately $21,239 and $20,350 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Government grants The School recognizes grant revenue in amounts equal to total allowable cost. The School believes all related receivables are fully collectible and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. Contributions The School recognizes all unconditional contributions received as income in the period received or pledged. Contributions receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance reflects the best estimate of possible losses determined principally on the basis of historical experience. All accounts, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectable are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $11,256 for the year ended June 30, Management determined there was no allowance needed for the year ended June 30, Income taxes: The School is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not classified as a private foundation. Uncertainties in income taxes: The School evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return based on a more-likelythan-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the School records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from June 30, 2010 through the current year remain open for examination by taxing authorities

10 Notes to Financial Statements Use of accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 these estimates. Functional allocation of expenses: The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the Statements of Activities and Changes in Net Assets. Costs that can be identified with particular programs or support functions are charged directly to the program or function. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. Subsequent events: Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure in these financial statements through October 28, 2013, which was the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 2. Contributions receivable At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the School had unconditional contributions receivable that included amounts due in: Less than one year $ 285,000 $ 330,000 Two to five years 10,000 45,000 Total 295, ,000 Less: allowance for doubtful accounts - (11,256) Contributions receivable, net $ 295,000 $ 363, Property and equipment As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, property and equipment consisted of the following: Land $ 1,177,900 $ 1,177,900 Building 6,639,267 6,639,267 Building improvements 1,896,413 - Leasehold improvements - 1,770,535 Furniture and equipment 595, ,688 10,308,632 10,141,390 Accumulated depreciation (518,194) (2,094,208) Total $ 9,790,438 $ 8,047,

15 Independent Auditor s 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 Board of Directors Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School Washington, D.C. 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 Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School (a nonprofit School), which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2013, and the related Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets, and Cash Flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 28, Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the School 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 a 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 a 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

16 Independent Auditor s 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 (Continued) Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the organization 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 organization s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Rockville, Maryland October 28,

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor s results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Management s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s major federal programs 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 OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 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 Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School s compliance

18 Independent Auditor s Report on Compliance for Each Major Program and on Internal Control over Compliance Required by OMB Circular A-133 (Continued) Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, 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 Hospitality High School of Washington, DC, A Public Charter School 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 a 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

19 Independent Auditor s Report on Compliance for Each Major Program and on Internal Control over Compliance Required by OMB Circular A-133 (Continued) 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 OMB Circular A-133.
