REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors Pasco Education Foundation, Inc. Land O'Lakes, Florida

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Pasco Education Foundation, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, statements of functional expenses, and statements of 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 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

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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, 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Organization as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 1, 2016 on our consideration of the Organization's internal control over financial reporting and on our 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 our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Organization's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

PASCO EDUCATION FOUNDATION, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015

NOTE A- DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION

The Pasco Education Foundation, Inc. ("the Organization") is an independent nonprofit organization established in 1991 in the state of Florida. The Foundation is the avenue for the individuals and the private sector to develop positive and supportive relationships with the Pasco County School district and to make philanthropic contributions to help accomplish the goals of Pasco County's public schools.

The Organization's mission is to advance student achievement and invest community resources to enrich educational opportunities for students and educators.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Net assets and revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Organization and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:

Unrestricted net assets - Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations, including restricted contributions whose restrictions are met in the same reporting period.

Temporarily restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will be met, either by actions of the Organizations and/or the passage of time. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

Permanently restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the Organization. Generally the donors of these assets permit the Organization to use all or part of the Income earned on any related investment for general or specific purposes.

Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes amounts on deposit in bank accounts and currency on hand.

Investments Investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market value with unrealized gains and losses included in changes in net assets.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Prepaid Scholarships Prepaid scholarships consist of prepaid college tuition fees purchased through the Florida Prepaid College Foundation, Inc. The Organization raises money through contributions which are matched dollarfor-dollar by the State of Florida passed through the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations. The scholarships are recorded at the lower of contract cost or current tuition value and are amortized based on actual credit hours used by students.

Computer Software Acquisitions of computer software are capitalized, recorded at historical cost, and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years. Acquisitions of computer software with a cost in excess of $1,000 are capitalized. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $2,188 and $0, respectively.

Donated Facilities, Materials and Services Donated facilities are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as revenue and expense based on the fair rental value of comparable facilities. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the amount of donated facilities recorded in expense is $11,000 each year. Donated materials and services, when received are reflected as contributions in the financial statements at their estimated fair market values at the date of receipt. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Organization received donated professional services valued at $7,411 ($14, 186 at June 30, 2015). Volunteer services not requiring specialized skills are not reflected in the financial statements since no objective basis exists for recording and assigning values to many of these services.

Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of functional expenses. Expenses that are associated with a specific program are charged directly to that program. Expenses that benefit more than one program are allocated to the various programs based on the relative benefit provided. Administrative expenses are allocated to the various programs and supporting services based on each program's total labor cost.

Income Tax Status Income taxes are not provided for in the financial statements since the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The Organization is treated as a public supported organization, and not as a private foundation. Management is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize the Organization's taxexempt status.

The Organization accounts for uncertain tax positions, if any, in accordance with ASC Section 740. In accordance with these professional standards, the Organization recognizes tax positions only to the extent that Management believes it is "more likely than not" that its tax positions will be sustained upon IRS examination. Management believes that it has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015

NOTED - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Professional standards, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level1 • Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities

in active markets that the Organization has the ability to access.

Level2 • Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

o Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; o Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; o Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; o Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by

correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level3 • Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value

measurement.

The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable input and minimize the use of unobservable input and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Organization believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Board of Directors has interpreted the law as requiring donor restricted net assets in an endowment fund to remain restricted until appropriated for expenditure by the Organization for the donor's intended purpose. In accordance with the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (FUPMIFA), the Organization considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds:

1) The purposes of the Organization and the donor restricted endowment fund 2) General economic conditions 3) The possible effect of inflation and deflation 4) The expected total return on investment 5) Other resources of the Organization 6) The investment policies of the Organization 7) The duration and preservation of the endowment fund.

Return Objectives and Risk Parameters The Organization has adopted an Investment Guideline Policy for endowment assets that attempts to emphasize continued focus on planned giving. The objective is to enhance maximum total return from a combination of capital appreciation and income, without assuming unreasonable risk. Investments are divided between fixed income and equity securities with approximately 40% in fixed income and 60% in equity.

Spending Policy Each endowment fund has an endowment principal fund and an endowment spendable fund. Distributions are made on a quarterly basis in accordance with the endowment spending policy. The current annual spending rate is 4.0% of the endowment principal fund's quarterly adjusted endowment spending base, distributed at a rate of 1 % per calendar quarter.

JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015

NOTE E - ENDOWMENT, (continued)

Market Fluctuations From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that current law requires the Organization to retain for a fund of perpetual duration. Deficiencies of this nature are reported in unrestricted net assets were approximately $477,532 at June 30, 2016 and $267,000 as of June 30, 2015. Such deficiencies resulted from unfavorable market fluctuations that occurred after the investment of permanently restricted contributions and continued appropriation for certain scholarships was deemed prudent by the Board of Directors. To remedy the situation, The Board of Directors adopted an endowment spending policy to preserve the purchasing power of endowments and to generate a current income stream to support donor objectives, while assuming a prudent level of investment risk.

NOTE F - TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Temporarily restricted net assets of the Organization are comprised of cash and prepaid expenses available for the following purposes:

Florida Prepaid College Fund scholarships Other scholarships

$1,708,043 238,934

$1.946.977

Net assets of $49,503 and $42,611 were released from donor restrictions in satisfaction of program restrictions during the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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 of Pasco Education Foundation, Inc.

We 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 Pasco Education Foundation, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2016, 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 our report thereon dated August 1, 2016.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Organization's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control.

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. 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.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we 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 our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

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 communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
