INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors Reach Out and Touch, Inc. Shreveport, Louisiana

Report on the Financial Statements

I have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Reach Out and Touch, Inc., a nonprofit organization, as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses 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

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that I 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, I 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.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reach Out and Touch, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, 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.

Other Matters

Other Information

My audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements of Reach Out and Touch, Inc. taken as a whole. 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 the Schedule of Compensation, Benefits, and Other Payments to the Agency Head are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic 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 fmancial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the fmancial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the fmancial statements or to the fmancial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In my opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the fmancial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, 1 have also issued my report dated May 16, 2016, on my consideration of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over fmancial reporting and on my 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 my testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over fmancial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over fmancial reporting and compliance.

REACH OUT AND TOUCH, INC LOUISIANA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Reach Out and Touch, Inc. is a Louisiana not-for-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Louisiana on February 8, 2007. Reach Out and Touch's purpose is to meet the Shreveport-Bossier community development needs of low-to-moderate income citizens by providing programs that currently include feeding, tutoring, transportation, and summer camp.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Reporting The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting and are prepared in accordance with current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for Not-for-Profit Organizations. The significant accounting policies are described below:

Basis of Presentation Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 958, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Reach Out and Touch has elected to present a classified statement of financial position, under ASC 958; Reach Out and Touch is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets.

Net Assets Net Assets are included in one of the following three classes, depending on the presence and type of donor-imposed restrictions.

• Unrestricted Net Assets - Net Assets not subject to donor-imposed restrictions.

• Temporarily restricted Net Assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that may be met either by an action and/or through the passage of time. As of December 31, 2014 Net Assets included no temporarily restricted net assets.

• Permanently restricted Net Assets - Net Assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will not expire through the passage of time and/or an action. As of December 31, 2014, Net Assets included no permanently restricted net assets.

Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly, program and support service expenses are specifically identified with or allocated to Reach Out and Touch's various functions. Expenses requiring allocation include services provided by Reach Out and Touch's management and administrative staff to specific program-related activities. Expense allocations are prorated based on a percentage of time or actual usage.

Income Tax Status Reach Out and Touch is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code Section and corresponding state code as a charitable organization whereby

Page 10: Certified Public Accountant · 2016, on my consideration of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over fmancial ... Feeding Tutoring Transportation Camp Administrative Expenses

only unrelated business income, as identified by Section 509(a)(1) of the Code, is subject to income tax. Reach Out and Touch had no unrelated business income in 2014. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Reach Out and Touch adheres to the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-25. Under FASB ASC 740-10-25, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained. Reach Out and Touch does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits or any related interest or penalties.

Advertising and Public Relations Costs Advertising and public relations costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising and public relations costs charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $2,000.

Use of Estimates 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition Restricted contributions and grants whose restrictions are met in the same reporting period as they are made are reported as unrestricted revenues and support.

Cash Cash includes amounts in petty cash, demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, and time deposits. Reach Out and Touch considers money market funds and short-term investments, with a maturity of less than 90days from the acquisition date to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014, there are no cash equivalents.

Depreciable Assets Depreciable assets acquired by the organization are considered to be owned by Reach Out and Touch, Inc. The Organization follows the practice of capitalizing, at cost, all expenditures for property, furniture, fixtures, and office equipment in excess of $500. Lesser amounts are expensed. Donated fixed assets are valued at fair market value at the date of the gift. Depreciation of all such items is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets generally as follows:

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 Board of Directors Reach Out and Touch, Inc. Shreveport, Louisiana

I 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 Reach Out and Touch, Inc., (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31,2014, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued me report thereon dated May 16, 2016.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing my audit of the financial statements, I considered Reach Out and Touch, 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 my opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Reach Out and Touch's internal control.

My consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, I identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.

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. I consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs to be material weaknesses. 14-01 and 14-02.

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. I did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that I consider to be significant deficiencies.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s financial statements are free of material misstatement, I 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 my audit, and accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. The results of my tests disclosed no instances of

11

Page 14: Certified Public Accountant · 2016, on my consideration of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over fmancial ... Feeding Tutoring Transportation Camp Administrative Expenses

noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s Response to Findings

Reach Out and Touch, Inc. response to the findings identified in my audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. I did not audit Reach Out and Touch, Inc. response and, accordingly, I express no opinion on it.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of my testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of Reach Out and Touch'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 report is not suitable for any other purpose and is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of Directors, the Louisiana Legislative Auditor, and federal and state awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties. Under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditor as a public document.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE

REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133

To the Board of Directors Reach Out and Touch, Inc. Shreveport, Louisiana

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program

I have audited Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'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 Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2014. Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'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

My responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s major federal programs based on my audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. I conducted my 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 I 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 Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as I considered necessary in the circumstances.

I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, my audit does not provide a legal determination of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In my opinion. Reach Out and Touch, Inc. 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 December 31, 2014.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of Reach Out and Touch, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective intemal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations.

13

Page 16: Certified Public Accountant · 2016, on my consideration of Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over fmancial ... Feeding Tutoring Transportation Camp Administrative Expenses

contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing my audit, I considered Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in aecordance with 0MB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal eontrol over compliance. Aceordingly, I do not express an opinion on the effeetiveness of Reaeh Out and Touch, Inc.'s internal control over compliance.

My 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 defieieneies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or signifieant defieieneies may exist that were not identified. However, as discussed below, I identified certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance that I consider to be signifieant defieieneies.

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 intemaf control over compfiance is a defieiency, or combination of deficiencies, in intemaf control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompfiance with a type of compfiance requirement of a federal program wiff not be prevented, or deteeted and eorreeted, on a timely basis.

A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a defieiency, or combination of deficiencies, in intemaf control over compfiance with a type of compfiance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in intemaf control over compfiance, yet important enough to merit attention by those eharged with govemance. f consider the deficiency in intemaf control over compfiance described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items f 4-Of to be a signifieant deficieney.

Reach Out and Touch, Inc.'s response to the intemal eontrof over eompfianee finding identified in my audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
