ACCOUNTANT’S COMPILATION REPORT To the Management and Board of Directors of Forward Communities:
We have compiled the accompanying Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets - Modified Cash Basis of Forward Communities (a nonprofit corporation) as of May 31, 2014, and the related Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes In Net Assets - Modified Cash Basis for the five months then ended. These financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements. We have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or provide any assurance about whether the financial statements are in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting used by Forward Communities.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.
Our responsibility is to conduct the compilation in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The objective of a compilation is to assist management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements without undertaking to obtain or provide any assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements.
A statement of functional expenses – modified cash basis for the five months ended May 31, 2014 has not been presented. Such a statement is ordinarily presented when modified cash basis financial statements purport to present results of operations.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures ordinarily included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting. If the omitted disclosures were included in the financial statements, they might influence the user’s conclusions about the Organization’s assets,
liabilities, net assets, revenue and expenses. Accordingly, the financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
The supplementary information accompanying the compiled financial statements is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplementary information has been compiled from information that is the representation of management. We have not audited or reviewed the supplementary information, and accordingly we do not express an opinion or provide assurance on such data.
We are not independent with respect to Forward Communities.

Basis Financial Statements Are Not Included
Note 1 - Summary of Accounting Basis Used in Financial Statements:
The accompanying financial statements are presented on the modified cash basis of accounting,
which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
require depreciation expense to be recorded on fixed assets, all revenue and accounts
receivable to be recorded in the period in which revenue is earned or unconditionally promised,
and expenses and accounts payable to be recorded in the period in which they are incurred. In
the accompanying financial statements, depreciation has not been recorded on fixed assets
during interim periods, certain revenue has been recorded when cash is received, and certain
expenses have been recorded when cash is disbursed. Accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America also require not-for-profit entities to classify net assets into
permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted net assets based on the
existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. In the accompanying financial statements,
net assets are not classified as permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted,
but instead are presented as total net assets.
