INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT Board of Trustees KIPP New York, Inc. and Subsidiaries New York, New York We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of KIPP New York, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a nonprofit organization) which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years 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 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. Auditors 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 audit 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 auditors 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. An independent member of Nexia International (1)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations KIPP New York, Inc. (the Organization ) is a nonprofit, nonstock corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization shall primarily serve for the benefit of existing schools operating under the name Knowledge is Power Program ( KIPP ) located within the five boroughs of the City of New York, in the State of New York. Such charitable purposes shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (a) to provide support to KIPP NYC schools; (b) to solicit, raise, receive, hold, invest and expend funds for the advancement and furtherance of such purposes; and (c) to engage in any and all lawful activities in the furtherance of the foregoing purposes. KIPP NYC, LLC ( LLC ) was established as a New York Limited Liability Corporation in November 2008 and began providing services to the schools in April 2009. The Organization is the sole member of the LLC. The LLC is a non profit corporation. KTC NYC LLC ( KTC ) was established as a New York Limited Liability Corporation in June 2012 and began providing services to the schools in July 2012. The Organization is the sole member of the KTC. The KTC is a non profit corporation. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with established accounting standards for not for profit entities. Accordingly, net assets are classified as unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted based on the absence or existence and nature of donor imposed restrictions. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Organization and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, KIPP NYC, LLC and KTC NYC LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial Statement Presentation Contributions are recognized as revenue in the year the pledge is received and documented. Contributions and unconditional promises to give are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. The Organization reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the 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. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrestricted net assets are not restricted by donors or the donor imposed restrictions have been satisfied or expired. (8)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Temporarily restricted net assets contain donor imposed restrictions that permit the Organization to use or expend the assets as specified. The restrictions are satisfied either by the passage of time or by action of the organization. Permanently restricted net assets contain donor imposed restrictions that stipulate the resources be maintained permanently but permit the Organization to use, or expend, part or all of the income derived from the donated assets for either specified or unspecified purposes. There are no permanently restricted net assets at June 30, 2015 and 2014. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Contributed Services The Organization recognizes contributed services in accordance with accounting standards for contributions. Accordingly, contributed services are recognized as revenue and assets or expenses as fair value if those services (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets, and (b) would typically need to be purchased by the Organization if they had not been provided by contribution, or (c) require specialized skills and are provided by individuals with those skills. A number of volunteers have made a contribution of their time to the Organization. These inkind contributions have not been reflected in the financial statements since they do not meet the criteria for recognition. Concentration of Credit Risk The Organizations maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. All of the Organizations cash at June 30, 2015 and 2014 is held by one financial institution. Equipment, Improvements, Depreciation and Amortization Equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. The Organization capitalizes purchases of equipment and improvements in excess of $2,500. Depreciation is computed using the straightline method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining lease agreement or useful life of the improvements. Deferred Income Deferred income represents funds received in advance of the service performed are recorded as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position. (9)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Expense Allocation The costs of providing services have been summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statements of activities and functional expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated to the program and support services benefited. Income Taxes The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code and applicable income tax regulations of the state of New York. No provision for income taxes has been established, as the Organization has no unrelated business activity. Because the Organization is the sole member of the LLC and KTC, the LLC and KTC will be treated as disregarded entities for tax purposes and therefore their activities are combined with the Organization and reported as one. The Organization follows the guidance in the income tax standard regarding the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity s financial statements. The guidance further prescribes recognition and measurement of tax provisions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The application of this standard had no impact on the Organization s financial statements. Financial Statement Reclassification The 2014 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, the Organization has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through October 26, 2015, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. NOTE 2 CONTRIBUTION RECEIVABLE Contribution receivable for the Organization includes the following: 2015 2014 Receivable Due Within One Year $ 8,970,299 $ 4,658,333 Receivable Due Within One to Four Years 3,747,416 13,812,593 12,717,715 18,470,926 Less: Present Value Discount 70,504 84,133 Net Pledge Receivable $ 12,647,211 $ 18,386,793 (10)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 2 CONTRIBUTION RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED) The Organization was a recipient of several multi year contributions which were recorded as contributions receivable and have been adjusted for imputed interest ranging from 0.95% to 2.27% as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Management believes the entire amounts of the contributions receivable from these donors are fully collectible and, accordingly, has not provided an allowance on such receivables.

The employer contributions to this Plan amounted $234,126 and $224,343, for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. (11)

As part of the deal structure, KIPP New York, Inc. received two separate bridge loans which totaled $9,250,000 and were guaranteed by existing donor pledge receivables. The first bridge loan for $7,862,500 matures in December, 2016 and requires interest to be paid at the 30 Libor rate plus 325 basis points (3.44% at June 30, 2015) and is secured is by the pledges, grant agreements and deposit accounts.
