3 To the Board of Directors Grace Centers of Hope and Subsidiaries Independent Auditor's Report We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Grace Centers of Hope and Subsidiaries (the "Center"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grace Centers of Hope and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its changes in net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

9 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Organization - Grace Centers of Hope and Subsidiaries (the "Center") is a not-for-profit organization that receives its revenue principally from contributions, grants, and thrift store sales. The Center has been in operation since 1942 and is Oakland County's oldest and largest homeless shelter. The Center's ultimate goal is total rehabilitation by meeting all of the needs of the homeless, including food, clothing, shelter, educational courses, daycare, job training, and assistance in preparing resumes, substance abuse programs, medical care, and housing placement. The Center is a subsidiary of a related entity, Grace Gospel Fellowship Church (the "Church") (see Note 6).

10 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Significant accounting policies are as follows: Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Grace Centers of Hope and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Rescued Treasures - Sterling Heights, Rescued Treasures - Waterford, Rescued Treasures - Dequindre, Rescued Treasures - 8 Mile, Rescued Treasures - Oak Park, Rescued Homes, and Hands of Hope. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Concentration of Credit Risk Arising from Deposit Accounts - The Center maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Center evaluates financial institutions with which it deposits funds; however, it is not practical to insure all cash deposits. Investments - Investment securities are classified based on the Center s intent with respect to holding securities. Investments in common stocks are carried at fair market value. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost when purchased or at fair value at the date of donation and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. The Center reports gifts of property, plant, and equipment as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts of property, plant, and equipment with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire property, plant, and equipment are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how long the property, plant, and equipment must be maintained, the Center reports such gifts as unrestricted support. Donated Food and Services - The value of donated food and services has been estimated by the Center and recorded as in-kind revenue and expenses. Donated professional services offered at the Center's sites that are coordinated with the activities of other third-party health and welfare organizations are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Other Assets - Other long-term assets on the balance sheet represents a donated coin to the Center. The coin is recorded at cost. Contributions - Contributions of cash and other assets, including unconditional promises to give in the future, are reported as revenue when received, measured at fair value. Donor promises to give in the future are recorded at the present value of estimated future cash flows. 8

11 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Contributions without donor-imposed restrictions and contributions with donorimposed time or purpose restrictions that are met in the same period as the gift are both reported as unrestricted support. Other restricted gifts are reported as restricted support and temporarily or permanently restricted net assets. Inventory - Inventory, which consists of contributed clothing and other items, is stated at the lower of cost or market by use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of valuation. There is a significant amount of work involved in bringing contributed goods to salable value; therefore, the Center records inventory only for contributed goods brought to the point of sale. Contributed goods that have not reached their point of sale have not been included in inventory. Classification of Net Assets - Net assets of the Center are classified as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted depending on the presence and characteristics of donor-imposed restrictions limiting the Center's ability to use or dispose of contributed assets or the economic benefits embodied in those assets. Board-designated net assets are unrestricted net assets designated by the board for reserves. This designation is based on board actions, which can be altered or revoked at a future time by the board. At, the board-designated net assets include a $100,000 emergency fund. At October 31, 2013 the board-designated net assets include an endowment fund of $230,675 (see Note 9). Donor-imposed restrictions that expire with the passage of time or can be removed by meeting certain requirements result in temporarily restricted net assets. Permanently restricted net assets result from donor-imposed restrictions that limit the use of net assets in perpetuity. Earnings, gains, and losses on restricted net assets are classified as unrestricted unless specifically restricted by the donor or by applicable state law. No permanently restricted net assets exist at October 31, 2013 or Functional Allocation of Expenses - The costs of providing program and support services have been reported on a functional basis in the consolidated statement of activities and changes in net assets. Indirect costs have been allocated between the various programs and support services based on estimates, as determined by management. Although the methods of allocation used are considered reasonable, other methods could be used that would produce a different amount. 9

12 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Use of 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 revenue, expenses, and other changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Tax Status - The Center is exempt from income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(a) as an organization described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and is classified as a public charity. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Center and recognize a tax liability if the Center has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Center and has concluded that as of, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Center is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to Subsequent Events - The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures include evaluation of events up through and including March 12, 2014, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. 10

18 Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value on the consolidated financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The following table presents information about the Center's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2013 and the valuation techniques used by the Center to determine those fair values. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Center has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset. In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Center s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis at October 31, 2013 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Balance at October 31, 2013 Investments: Money market mutual funds $ 17,457 $ - $ - $ 17,457 Mutual funds - U.S. equity securities 112, ,520 Total assets $ 129,977 $ - $ - $ 129,977 16

19 Note 9 - Board-designated Endowment During 2013, the board of directors adopted a policy to designate all bequests received by the Center as board designated endowment funds. The endowment fund assets are invested in money market funds and equity investments and maintained in cash accounts. The expenditures of the funds are at the board of director's discretion. Net assets associated with these endowment funds, including funds designated by the board of directors to function as endowments, are reported as unrestricted net assets and the designation may be removed at the board's discretion. The board-designated endowment activity for the year ended October 31, 2013 is as follows: Endowment - Beginning of year $ - Bequests received 224,693 Investment income 5,982 Endowment - End of year $ 230,675 17
