Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors CaraChicago, IL

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Cara Program (a nonprofit organization) and Subsidiaries dba Cara (the Organization) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 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.

CARANOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSJune 30, 2017

Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Cara Program dba as Cara Chicago was established in 1991 and incorporated as an Illinois not-for-profit corporation on January 5, 1999. Cara Chicago with its subsidiaries are collectively dba as Cara. The mission of Cara is to unlock the power and purpose within our communities and ourselves to achieve real and lasting success. This mission is realized through the following five core programs:

Traditional Training & Placement Program is Cara’s traditional services which includes a comprehensive range of training and support for motivated individuals affected by poverty and homelessness, including life-skills training, specialized job-skills training, and personalized career placement services.

Southside Campus (SSC) is Cara’s Southside campus and provides services similar to Caratraditional as well as assistance with income supports and financial literacy. The SSC helps residents establish careers, advance professionally, and accumulate assets through structured training, job placement support, and individual coaching.

Employment Retention ensures that students of Cara have the tools they need for long-term self-sufficiency. Cara offers "aggressive outreach" throughout each student’s first year of employment. These services include: regular one-on-one meetings with employed students about on-the-job successes and challenges; and development of individual long-term goals, including goals related to housing, education, and debt repayment. As a result, over 70% or moreof employed Cara students receiving this support remain in their first job placement for at least one year. In addition to employment retention support, Cara’s Career Advancement Program supports students who have not only achieved stability in their personal and professional lives, but who also show an exceptional drive to grow in their careers. Once students have been employed for at least six months and are established personally and professionally, they may opt in to career advancement services.

Cleanslate Chicago, LLC (Cleanslate), a wholly-owned limited liability company started in 2005, provides exterior maintenance services to customers across Chicago. The program was created as a vehicle for individuals with significant obstacles to employment - particularly individuals with criminal backgrounds – to gain on-the-job work experience and intensive support services through transitional jobs. Cleanslate is a complement to Cara and provides additional services and training opportunities for at-risk individuals. For tax purposes, Cleanslate is treated as a disregarded entity and will be included in Cara Chicago’s financial statements and tax reporting. Under applicable accounting standards, Cara Chicago is required to prepare consolidated financial statements with Cleanslate.

TCP Staffing, LLC (TCP Staffing) dba Cara Connects, a wholly owned limited liability company started in 2011, was created to manage employment of students participating in the transitional jobs aspect of Cara Chicago. Cara Connects employs students that are working transitional jobs

Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

for Cleanslate and Cara Chicago as well as select companies outside of the enterprise. In 2013,Cara Connects expanded to be a contract staffing firm dedicated to sourcing quality candidates to fulfill critical entry-level positions within Chicago’s growing job market by providing temporary and temporary to permanent opportunities.

Through management agreements with Cleanslate and Cara Connects, Cara Chicago provides certain management, administrative and financial services, use of certain personnel employed by Cara Chicago and office space to Cleanslate and Cara Connects. The direct costs of each Organization are kept separate along with an allocation of shared costs based on usage. Management service fees of $385,828 and $210,023 were billed to Cleanslate and CaraConnects, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Consolidated Financial StatementsThe accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidation of the financial statements of The Cara Program dba Cara Chicago, Cleanslate Chicago, LLC, and TCP Staffing, LLC dba Cara Connects, collectively doing business as (dba) Cara (The Organization). All material inter-organization accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of AccountingThe accounts and consolidated financial statements are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and, accordingly, reflect all significant accounts receivable, payable, and other liabilities in conformity with accounting principles applicable to non-profit organizations.

Basis of PresentationThe Organizations report information regarding their financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: - unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted net assets, as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). There are no permanently restricted net assets as of June 30, 2017.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesrequires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues, expenses, gains, losses and other changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits in federally insured accounts. The accounts may at times exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Organizations have never experienced any such losses in these accounts.

-11-



For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Organizations consider all highly liquid debt instruments, if any, purchased with an original maturity of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

Grants and Pledges ReceivableContributions receivable represent amounts promised by donors (unconditional promises to give), some of which are due in installments. All amounts are deemed collectible and no discount is deemed necessary as the balances approximate fair value.

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of $500 and those items which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets, are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are:

Building and improvements 40 yearsLeasehold improvements 2 - 5 yearsFurniture and equipment 5 yearsVehicles 5 years

InventoryInventory consists of salt, uniforms and trash bags recorded at cost.

Net Assets Released from RestrictionsNet assets were released from restriction by incurrence of expenses satisfying the restricted purpose or by occurrence of events specified under the terms of the agreements.

Support and RevenueThe Organizations report 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.

Government GrantsSupport funded by government contracts, which qualify as exchange transactions, are recognized when the contracted services have been performed. Revenue is therefore recognized as earned as the eligible expenses are incurred. These expenditures are subject to audit and acceptance by the granting organization and, as a result of such audit, adjustments could be required.

-12-



Contributed Services and In-Kind DonationsContributed services are required to be recognized if the services received (a) create or enhance non-financial assets or (b) require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. During the year ending June 30, 2017, The Organizations received donated services meeting the above criteria valued at $43,850.

The Organizations also receive a significant amount of donated services from unpaid volunteers who act as mentors and provide other assistance to students. No amounts for these volunteer serviceshave been recognized in the statement of activities or statement of functional expenses because the criteria for recognition under GAAP has not been satisfied.

In-kind donations were recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements during the year ending June 30, 2017. In-kind donations received consisting of the following:

Donated equipment 4,685$

Dumpsters 48,360

Total in-kind donation revenue received 53,045

Less:

Capitalized equipment (4,685)

Plus:

Prior year capitalized software amortization 2,625

Net in-kind donation expense 50,985$

Functional Allocation of ExpensesThe costs of providing various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statement of activities and the consolidated statement of functional expenses. Directly identifiable expenses are charged to the specific program or supporting service. Expenses related to more than one function are generally allocated to program expenses and supporting services on the basis of periodic time and expense reviews made by management.

Income Tax StatusCara Chicago was granted an exemption from federal income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The tax-exempt purpose of the Organization and the nature in which it operates is described in the first paragraph of Note 1. The Organization continues to operate in compliance with its tax-exempt purpose.

-13-



Cleanslate Chicago, LLC and TCP Staffing, LLC dba Cara Connects are sole-member LLC’s. For tax purposes, Cleanslate and TCP Staffing are treated as disregarded entities and are included in Cara’s financial statements and tax reporting.

The Organizations’ annual information and income tax returns filed with the federal and state governments are subject to examination, generally for three years after they are filed.

The Organization has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions and management has determined that the Organization was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2017.

Subsequent EventsAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Organization has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the report on the financial statements, which is the date the statements were available to be issued. No subsequent events have been identified that are required to be disclosed as of that date.
