3 WESTBROOK & CO., P.C. Certified Public Accountants 749 Driskill Drive Richmond, MO North Folger Carrollton, MO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Governing Board Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2016, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year 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. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our 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. 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. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. as of June 30, 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

4 Other Matters Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, is presented for purposes of additional analysis 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. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit 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 September 27, 2016, on our consideration of the 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 the School s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

8 NOTE A - BUSINESS ACTIVITY EWING MARION KAUFFMAN SCHOOL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2016 Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. (the School), incorporated February It is a not-for-profit corporation that is organized under the laws of the State of Missouri. The School is a tuition-free public charter school in Kansas City, Missouri for students in grades five through twelve. In the current year, the School served only grades five through nine. The mission of the School is to prepare students to excel academically, graduate from college, and apply their unique talents in the world to create economically independent and personally fulfilling lives. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the School considers all unrestricted highly-liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Government Funds Receivable: The receivable is due from government agencies and is considered fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If accounts become uncollectible, they are charged to operations when that determination is made. Property and Equipment: All purchased property and equipment are valued at historical cost. A capitalization threshold of $1,000 is used to report capital assets. Depreciation is provided over the assets estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of useful lives by type of asset is a follows: Furniture 5 years Data processing equipment 3 years Other equipment 3 years Vehicles 5 years Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Paid Time Off and Vacation: Time off for vacation, sickness and personal leave are considered as expenditures in the year awarded. All employees are eligible for up to six days of paid time off after 30 days of employment. These days may be used at the employees will during the fiscal year; however, it may not be carried over from one year to the next. In addition to paid time off, 12-month employees are also awarded upon hire 10 days of vacation that must be used in the summer months when school is not in session. Vacation days cannot be carried over after summer break. Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated subsequent events through September 27, 2016, the date the financial statements were available to be issued

9 EWING MARION KAUFFMAN SCHOOL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2016 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Income Taxes: The School is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state law as charitable organizations whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by Section 509(a)(2) of the Code, is subject to federal income tax. The School currently has no unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. The School has adopted provisions of FASB standard on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC ). The School does not believe there are any material uncertain tax provisions and, accordingly, they will not recognize any liability for unrecorded tax benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no interest or penalties recorded in the financial statements. The School s Forms 990, Return on Organization Exempt from Income Taxes, for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 are subject to IRS examinations, generally three years after they were filed. In-Kind Contributions and Contributed Services: In-kind contributions are reflected as contributions at their fair value at date of donation and are reported as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how donated assets must be used. The School recognizes the fair value of contributed services received if such services a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or b) require specialized skills that are provided by individuals possessing those skills and would typically need to be purchased if not contributed. Recognition of Donor Restrictions: Contributions are recognized when the donor makes an unconditional promise to give to the School. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions expire in the fiscal year in which the contributions are recognized. All other donor restricted contributions are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. If a restriction is fulfilled in the same time period in which the contribution is received, the School reports that support as unrestricted. NOTE C - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS At June 30, 2016, the bank balance of the School s deposits totaled $3,521,020, which was invested in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies under a repurchase agreement. NOTE D - GOVERNMENT FUNDS RECEIVABLE Government funds receivable at June 30, 2016 consist of $163,128 for state and federal programs.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the administration's assertions about the School's compliance based on our audit. Our audit was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis evidence about the School s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our opinion does not provide a legal determination on the School's compliance with specified requirements. In our opinion, the administration's assertions that the School complied with the aforementioned requirements for the year ended June 30, 2016, are fairly stated in all material respects. We noted immaterial instances of noncompliance with the aforementioned requirements that we have reported to the administration of the School in the accompanying Schedule of State Findings. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Governing Board, administration and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

25 WESTBROOK & CO., P.C. Certified Public Accountants 749 Driskill Drive Richmond, MO North Folger Carrollton, MO 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 Governing Board Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. 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 Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 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 September 27, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Ewing Marion Kauffman School, Inc. 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 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. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Member, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; Missouri Society of Certified Public Accountants Telephone: Richmond: (816) KC Line: (816) Carrollton: (660) Fax: Richmond: (816) Carrollton: (660)

26 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 School 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 School s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Richmond, Missouri September 27,

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Ewing Marion Kauffman School s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, The School s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the 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 the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administration 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 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 on the School s compliance.

28 Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of the 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 the 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 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 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. 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 upon the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. Richmond, Missouri September 27,
