Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors

Council of the Southern Mountains

Northfork, West Virginia

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of the Council of the

Southern Mountains (the Organization) as of August 31, 2008, and the related

statement of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then

ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's

management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements

based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 of America. 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the

amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing

the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well

as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Organization as of August 31, 2008, and the

changes in financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated

November 24, 2008, on our consideration of the Organization's internal control over

financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,

regulations, contracts, 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 the internal

control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an

audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be

considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial

statements taken as whole. The supplementary information on pages 14 through 20 is

presented for purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic

financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

on page 21 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis as required by OMB

Circular A-133, and also is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The

supplementary information and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards have

been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial

statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the

basic financial statements taken as a whole.

COUNCIL OF THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended August 31, 2008

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION

The Council of the Southern Mountains (the Organization) is a private, not-forprofit

organization dedicated to helping individuals and families reach their

highest levels of social and economic independence, while assisting the

communities served to become involved in the activities of the Organization. The

Organization collaborates with local, state, and national agencies to provide a

broad range of direct, anti-poverty services for low-income families and their

communities. The Organization's headquarters is located in Northfork, West

Virginia. The Organization is funded primarily though grants and other

agreements with the federal and state government.

The Organization provides services to residents and communities of Southern West

Virginia with an emphasis in McDowell County. Programs include the following:

CSBG Programs

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal, anti-poverty block

grant that funds the operation of a state-administrated network of local agencies.

The purpose of the Community Service Block Grant is to provide assistance to

states and local communities, working through a network of community action

agencies and other neighbor-based organizations, for the reduction of poverty.

Weatherization Program

The mission of the Weatherization Assistance Program is to reduce the heating and

cooling costs for low income families – particularly for the elderly, people with

disabilities, and children – by improving the energy efficiency of their homes and,

thereby, insuring their health and safety. Clients meeting 150 percent of the poverty

guideline are eligible to receive services.

Retired Seniors Volunteer Program

The Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a program to recruit and support

volunteers age 55 and over for various community endeavors.

6

Foster Grandparent Program

The Foster Grandparent Program allows participants to serve as mentors, tutors, and

caregivers for children and the youth with special and exceptional needs. Foster

Grandparents serve in community organizations, such as schools and youth centers.

Family Day Care Feeding Program

The purpose of this program is to ensure that children between the ages of birth to 13

eat a nutritious well balanced diet while in the care of an in-home Childcare Provider.

The program provides reimbursement to Certified Family Daycare providers for the

meals that they serve to children in their care. The program serves all children

regardless of income. The Family Daycare Food Program provides training for the

providers on how to prepare meals that meet the USDA guidelines.

Mentoring Child of Promise

The Mentoring Child of Promise Program provides community based one-on-one

mentoring to children with at least one parent incarcerated in the state or federal

correctional system residing in the State of West Virginia. The children, ages 4 through

17, enrolled in the program will be matched with a mentor who will spend quality time

with them. The mentors will be volunteers who have passed a CIB background check

and will have attended the program's orientation and training session before being

matched with a child. The mentor will strive to involve the child in community activities

which provide opportunities for social interaction, while providing healthy messages

about life and social behavior.

Title XIX

The Title XIX program provides leadership in seeking increased levels of service for

individuals with behavioral health needs. These individuals need skills and training that

would lead to full participation within their communities through development of their

abilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities require specialized interventions to

be utilized for treatment, training, social interaction, meaningful employment, and pursuit

of their own life goals.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Reporting

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in

accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

America, whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are

recognized when incurred.

7

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles

generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 financial statements and

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual

results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions

and highly liquid instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less.

Inventory

In accordance with grant award budgets approved by funding sources, inventory is

expensed in the period purchased instead of being capitalized and expensed when

consumed.

Accounts Receivable and Grants Receivable

Management considers accounts receivable and grants receivable fully collectible at

August 31, 2008.

Capital Assets

The Organization purchases the majority of its property and equipment with funds

provided by restrictive grants. Property and equipment purchased with funds from

such grants are subject to restrictions regarding use and disposition. Property and

equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line

method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.

Items of property and equipment acquired with grant funds are subject to various

restrictions regarding their use by the Organization.

Additionally, under certain circumstances, the grantor agency may request return of

the property and equipment or, if sold, the proceeds from the sale of the property

and equipment.

Items of property and equipment purchased with grant funds are not reported as

contributions as grantors expect to receive commensurate value from the Organization.

8

Net Asset Classification

Net assets of the Organization and changes therein are classified and reported as

follows:

Unrestricted Net Assets – Unrestricted net assets that are not subject to donorimposed

stipulations.

Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets – Net assets subject to

donor-imposed stipulations that will be met either by actions of Council of

the Southern Mountains and/or the passage of time.

Donor Restrictions

The Organization reports 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 as unrestricted

net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from

restrictions. When capital assets are placed in service, thus satisfying purpose

restrictions, the amount is included as a change in net assets, restricted and

unrestricted. Donor-restricted contributions, whose restrictions are met within the same

year as received, are reflected as unrestricted contributions in the accompanying

financial statements.

Unconditional promises to give cash and other assets are reported at fair value at

the date the promise is received. Conditional promises to give and indications of

intentions to give are reported at fair value at the date the gift is received.

The Organization reports gifts of equipment or other capital assets as unrestricted

support unless donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts

of capital assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and

gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire capital assets are reported as

restricted support.

For absent explicit donor restrictions about how long the capital assets must be

maintained, the Organization reports expiration of donor restrictions when the

donated or acquired capital assets are placed in service.

Grant Revenues

Grant revenues related to the provision of services and/or the incurrence of qualified

expenses are reported as unrestricted revenues if they are based on the premise

that the grantor, generally governmental agencies, provided the funding or transferred

assets in exchange transactions whereby the grantor expects to receive commensurate

value.

9

Capital assets provided by the grantor and cash provided explicitly for the purpose of

acquiring capital assets are capitalized.

The Organization has received substantial grant funding for capital assets. Certain

obligations relating to the use of the assets exist, including potential return of the

assets to the grantor agency or proceeds received from the sale of the assets.

Cost Allocation

The Organization has adopted a cost allocation plan whereby each program is charged

its fair share of the Organization's indirect costs. Indirect costs are those costs incurred

for a common purpose benefiting or supporting all the Organization's programs and

activities and can not be identified as benefiting a specific program or activity. Indirect

costs are accumulated in an indirect cost pool and are allocated to the various programs

in proportion to the program's direct salaries and benefits to total direct salaries and

benefits.

Interest

All interest costs incurred during the year ended August 31, 2008, have been

expensed and are included in the other operating expenses in the Statement of

Activities.

Advertising Costs

All advertising costs have been expensed and are included in other operating

expenses in the Statement of Activities.

Income Taxes

The Council of the Southern Mountains is a not-for-profit organization and has been

recognized as tax exempt pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Donated Services, Space and Other

Donated (in-kind) matching is required by certain funding sources. Donated space is

valued at the estimated fair rental value. Donated other is valued at the estimated

fair market value at the date of receipt.

REPORTS ON INTERNAL CONTROL AND ON COMPLIANCE

23

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

Council of the Southern Mountains

Northfork, West Virginia

We have audited the financial statements of Council of the Southern Mountains (the

Organization) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2008, and have issued our report

thereon dated November 24, 2008. We conducted our audit 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.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Organization's internal control

over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose

of expressing our opinions on the financial statements but not for the purpose of

expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control over

financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of

the Organization's internal control over financial reporting.

A control deficiency 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 misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a

control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the

Organization's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data

reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is

more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Organization's financial

statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the

Organization's internal control.

Page 2

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant

deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement

of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the Organization's

internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose

described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all

deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly,

would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be

material weaknesses. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial

reporting and its operations that we consider to be a material weakness.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's financial

statements are free of 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.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors of the

Organization, the West Virginia State Auditor's Office and other federal and state

agencies and is not intended to be used and should not be used by anyone other than

these specified parties. However in accordance with West Virginia Code 6-9-9a, this

report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS

APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM

AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE

WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133

To The Board of Directors

Council of the Southern Mountains

Northfork, West Virginia

Compliance

We have audited the compliance of the Council of the Southern Mountains (the

Organization) with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are

applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended August 31, 2008.

The Organization's major federal programs are identified in the accompanying Schedule

of Findings or Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,

regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of the major federal programs is the

responsibility of the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an

opinion on the Organization's compliance based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of compliance 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 we 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 the Organization's compliance with those requirements and

performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Organization's compliance with

those requirements. In our opinion, the Organization complied, in all material respects,

with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal

programs for the year ended August 31, 2008.

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of the Organization is responsible for establishing and maintaining

effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations,

contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our

audit, we considered the Organization's internal control over compliance with

requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in

order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on

compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of

internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the

effectiveness of Organization's internal control over compliance.

A control deficiency 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 noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal

program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or

combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to

administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a

noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program is more than

inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant

deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material noncompliance

requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's

internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose

described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all

deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly,

would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be

material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over

compliance that we consider to be a material weakness.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of

Directors, federal awarding agencies, and pass-through entities and is not intended to

be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
