NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Garden of Hope, Inc., ( the Project ) is a 62 unit apartment project that provides housing for elderly in Birmingham, Alabama. Legal title to the Project is held by Garden of Hope, Inc., a nonprofit corporation.

The Project Rental Assistance Contract is considered a major program. A. Cash Equivalents For the statement of cash flows, all unrestricted investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. B. Rental Property Rental property is carried at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives by the use of straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. C. Rental Income Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Project and the tenants of the property are operating leases. Under the regulatory agreement, the Project may not increase rents charged to tenants without HUD approval. D. Functional Expenses Expenditures incurred in connection with project operations and expenditures made for corporate (mortgage entity) purposes, if applicable, have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. E. Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since the entity is exempt from Federal income taxes, except for tax on unrelated business income, under Section 501(a) of the internal Revenue Code as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3). The entity had no unrelated business income for the year ended September 30, 2017. 9
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): F. Advertising The Project expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. G. Use of Estimate The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 - Capital Advance The $4,178,400 capital advance is payable to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and is collateralized by a deed of trust on the rental property. The advance bears interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum. Principal and interest are payable in full by the Project only upon sale or conversion of the property prior to expiration of the 40 year commitment in September 2046. Accrued interest through September 30, 2017 is not recorded as a liability in the accompanying financial statements since it is only payable as a penalty in the event of default. The liability of the Project under the mortgage note is limited to the underlying value of the real estate collateral plus other amounts deposited with the lender. The Project is required to make monthly deposits of $1,386 to a reserve for replacements account for use in funding future maintenance and replacement costs. During the next five (5) years, $83,185 will be deposited to the reserve for replacements accounts. NOTE 3 - Management Fee The Project is managed by SPM, LLC pursuant to an agreement which provides for management fee of 14.00% of monthly collections, as defined. The current management agreement originated August 2, 2010 and expires August 2, 2020. 10
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4 - HUD Restricted Deposits Under the terms of the Regulatory Agreement, the Project is required to set aside specified amounts for the replacement of property and other project expenditures as approved by HUD. Restricted funds in the amount of $155,481 at September 30, 2017 are held in separate accounts and generally are not available for operating purposes. NOTE 5 - Distributions to Officers and Directors The Regulatory Agreement with HUD provides, among other things, that the Project will not make distributions of assets or income because Garden of Hope, Inc. is a nonprofit organization. All surplus cash, as defined by HUD, must be deposited into a residual receipts account. Use of the residual receipts amount is contingent upon HUD s prior written approval. As of September 30, 2017, there was no surplus cash.

The note is secured by a second mortgage on the real estate. The term of the loan is 20 years with a maturity date of April 1, 2026, following which the City will forgive the principal amount of the loan in its entirety, provided that the Project has complied with all terms and regulations in conjunction with the use of HOME funds. NOTE 7 - Current Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations The entity s sole asset is a 62 unit apartment complex and its operations are concentrated in the multifamily real estate market. In addition, the entity operates in a heavily regulated environment. The operations of the Project are subject to the administrative directives, rules and regulations of federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, including but not limited to HUD. Such administrative directives, rules and regulations are subject to change by an act of Congress or an administrative change mandated by HUD. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related cost, including the additional administrative burden, to comply with a change. 11
