We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a testbasis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit alsoincludes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made bymanagement, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe thatour audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the financial position of the Theatre as of June 30, 2007, and the changes in its net assets andcash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedin the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report datedSeptember 19, 2008, on our consideration of The Theatre's internal control over financialreporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contractsand grant agreements and other matters.

Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre (the Theatre) was organized in 1922 to present theatricalperformances for the community. The mission of the Theatre is to present quality theatre ataffordable prices, to promote cultural activities, and to provide cultural outreach opportunities tothe Greater New Orleans community.

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

The financial statements of the Theatre are presented on the accrual basis of accounting and inaccordance with the recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountantsin its Industry Audit Guide, "Audits of Certain Nonprofit Organizations". Basis of Accountingrefers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financialstatements, and relates to the timing of the measurements made.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Theatre considers all highly liquid debtinstruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investments

The Theatre carries investments in debt securities with readily determinable fair values in thestatement of financial position. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in netassets in the accompanying statement of activities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Contributions

All contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restrictedby the donor. Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted netassets if the restriction expires in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. Allother donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restrictednet assets depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires, temporarilyrestricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and are reported in the statements ofactivities as net assets released from restriction.

Gifts of long-lived operating assets such as land, buildings, or equipment are reported asunrestricted support, unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must beused. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to beused and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reportedas restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how long these long-lived assetsmust be maintained, expirations of donor restrictions are reported when the donated or acquiredlong-lived assets are placed in service.

Contributions of donated non-cash assets (such as materials and equipment) are recorded at theirfair or estimated values in the period received.

Financial Statement Presentation

Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial AccountingStandards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, FinancialStatements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Net assets, support and revenues, and expenses areclassified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, the netassets of the Theatre and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:

• Unrestricted net assets - Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.• Temporarily restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that

will be met either by actions of the Theatre and/or the passage of time. The Theatre doesnot have any temporarily restricted net assets.

• Permanently restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations thatneither expire by the passage of time nor can be fulfilled and removed by actions of theTheatre pursuant to those stipulations.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIALREPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMEDIN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Board of Directors,Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre

We have audited the financial statements of Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre (theTheatre) (a nonprofit organization) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007, andhave issued our report thereon dated September 19, 2008. We conducted our audit inaccordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of Americaand the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government AuditingStandards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Theatre's internal controlover financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for thepurpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purposeof expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Theatre's internal control overfinancial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Theatre's internal control over financial reporting.

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allowmanagement or employees, in the normal course of performing their assignedfunctions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significantdeficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adverselyaffects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial datareliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there ismore than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity's financial statementsthat is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity'sinternal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significantdeficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a materialmisstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by theentity's internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limitedpurpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarilyidentify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies ormaterial weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control overfinancial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Theatre's financialstatements are free of material mis statement, we performed tests of its compliancewith certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on thedetermination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion oncompliance 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 instances ofnoncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under GovernmentAuditing Standards and which, are described in the accompanying schedule of findingsand responses as items 2007-1 through 2007-4.

The Theatre's responses to the findings identified in our audit are described in theaccompanying schedule of findings and responses. We did not audit the Theatre'sresponse and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Theatre's board ofdirectors, others within the entity, and the Legislative Audit Advisory Committee, andis not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specifiedparties.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES

For the Year Ended June 30, 2007

We have audited the financial statements of Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre (the Theatre) as ofand For the Year Ended June 30, 2007, and have issued our report thereon dated September 19,2008. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and thestandards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued byComptroller General of the United States. Our audit of the financial statements as of June 30,2007, resulted in an unqualified opinion.

Section I Summary of Auditor's Reports

a. Report on Internal Control and Compliance Material to the FinancialStatements

Internal ControlMaterial Weaknesses - None Significant Deficiencies - Yes

ComplianceCompliance Material to Financial Statements - No

Compliance Immaterial to Financial Statements - Yes

2007-1 Findings - The audited financial statements are required to be filed withthe State of Louisiana Legislative Auditor within six months of the end of thefiscal year or December 31, 2007. The report was filed after that date.

Cause - Extenuating circumstances as a result of Hurricane Katrina resulted ina delay of the completion and submission of the report in a timely manner.

2007-2 Findings: As is common in small organizations, management haschosen to engage the auditor to propose certain year-end adjusting journalentries and to prepare their annual financial statements. This condition isintentional by management based upon the Agency's financial complexity,along with the cost effectiveness of acquiring the ability to prepare financialstatements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.Consistent with this decision, internal controls over the preparation of year-endadjusting entries and annual financial statements, complete with notes, in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles, have not been established.Under generally accepted auditing standards, this condition represents asignificant deficiency in internal controls.

16

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES (CONTINUED)

For the Year Ended June 30, 2007

Recently issued Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 112 requires that wereport the above condition as a control deficiency. The SAS does not provideexceptions to reporting deficiencies that are adequately mitigated with nonauditservices rendered by the auditor or deficiencies for which the remedy would becost prohibitive or otherwise impractical.

Recommendation: As mentioned above, whether or not it would be costeffective to cure a control deficiency is not a factor in applying SAS 112'sreporting requirements. Because prudent management requires that thepotential benefit from an internal control must exceed its cost, it may not bepractical to correct all the deficiencies an auditor reports under SAS 112. Inthis case we do not believe that curing the significant deficiency describedabove would be cost effective or practical and accordingly do not believe anycorrective is necessary.

Management's Response: We concur with the audit finding.

2007-3 Findings: We noted that the Theatre did not file its prior year's Form990 IRS tax return in a timely manner.

Recommendation: We recommend the Theatre file its Form 990 IRS tax returnon a timely basis.

Management's Response: Management has engaged an accountant whoproperly filed all past due tax forms and timely filed all current tax forms.

2007-4 Findings: Our examination disclosed there is lack of segregation ofduties within the organization (especially in the areas of cash receipts andticket sales). This weakness is due to the fact that the organization has a verysmall staff and only one person is primarily responsible for ticket sales anddeposits. Due to the lack of segregation of duties, possible errors orirregularities could occur in the accounting records and not be detected.Understandably, since the organization has such a small staff, the most idealsystem of internal control or the most desirable accounting system may not bepracticable. Also the cost of hiring additional employees to handle separateaspects of the accounting function might exceed any benefits gained.

17

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES (CONTINUED)

For the Year Ended June 30, 2007

Recommendation: Based upon the cost-benefit of hiring additional accountingpersonnel, it may not be feasible to achieve complete segregation of duties.We recommend that the organization finance committee and executive directorcontinue to closely monitor all records and transactions.

Response: The organization's executive director and board concur with therecommendation.

b. Federal Awards

The Theatre did not receive federal awards during the year ended June 30,2007.
