‘Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
‘Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with the 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
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit, I
conducted my audit ii accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Goverament
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from 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 the 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.
2Accordingly, I 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,
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of ESTEM as of July 31, 2017, and the changes in its net assets and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America
Other Matters/Other Information.
My audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a
whole. The accompanying Supplementary Schedules are presented for purposes of additional
analysis as required by the Texas Education Agency and are not a required part of the financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, In my opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
financial statements as a whole.
believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for my audit opinion.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, I have also issued my report dated March 1,
2018, on my consideration of ESTEM’s internal control over financial reporting and on my 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 my 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 ESTEM’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Basis of Presentation
The School's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting, principles as applied to non-profit
organizations in conjunction with the Texas Education Agency’s Financial
Accountability System Resource Guide.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting, principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly,
management made certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.“
Net Assets
Net assets and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are classified based on
the existence and nature or absence of donor-imposed_ restrictions.
Restricted revenues whose restrictions are met in the same year as received
are shown as unrestricted revenues. 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.
‘Temporarily restricted - net assets subject to donor-imposed
stipulations that may or will be met, either by actions of the
corporation, the charter school 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 restrictiPermanently restricted net assets ~ net assets required to be maintained
in. perpetuity with only the income to be used for ESTEM’s activities
due to donor-imposed restrictions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, ESTEM considers all highly
liquid investment instruments purchased with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property, Equipment, and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The School capitalization policy is
and above. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are calculated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from three to twenty years.
Donations of property and equipment are recorded at fair value at the date of
donation. Z
HISD agrees to provide (a) district adopted state textbooks at no cost; and (b) student
desk and other appropriate furnishings as currently available at no cost. All title to
HISD furnished supplies, equipment, furniture, materials and/or textbooks shall
remain the sole property of HISD.
Deferred Revenues
ESTEM records the quarterly advances of ADA funds received from HISD as
deferred revenues (unearned income). As income is earned, it is removed from
deferred revenue and recorded as Foundation School Program revenues.
Contributions
ESTEM records unconditional contributions, including promises to give, as revenue
when received. Conditional contributions are recognized as revenue when the
conditions on which they depend have been substantially met. Contributions are
recorded net of estimates of uncollectible amounts’
ESTEM 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 to
unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities and changes in
net assets as net assets released from restrictions.
102)
Gifts of property and equipment are reported as unrestricted support unless
explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used.
Operating Revenues
Revenues from HISD are a flow-through from the State of Texas: however HISD
retains five percent (5%) of the State funding for administrative support. School
funds are earned (a) based on reported attendance and (b) project-by-project
approved reimbursable expenses. Revenues for (a) are recognized as earned and
billed based on the Average Daily Attendance (ADA). The billing rates per enrolled
student are stipulated in the agreement.
HISD's support per student (ADA billing) is per school year, which is estimated at
180 school days. These anticipated allotments are disbursed in advance quarterly
with the final settlement on or before the (a) end of the school year; and (b)
reimbursable expenses are recognized as earned when the related program
expenditures are incurred. These reimbursable expenses are project specific.
Consequently, the use of these funds are temporarily restricted and released from
restriction as the projects are completed.
Should the cumulative attendance rate fall below 96% for any of the three campuses,
HISD has the option of implementing a revised payment schedule based on the
actual cumulative attendance rate.

COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL, CONTROL,
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
The Board of Directors
Energized for STEM Academy, Inc.
Thave audited the financial statements of Energized for STEM Academy, Inc. (ESTEM)
(a nonprofit organization) as of and for the year ended July 31, 2017, and have issued my
report thereon dated March 1, 2018. I conducted my 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 my audit, I considered ESTEM's internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing my auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing my opinion on the effectiveness of the ESTEM 's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, I 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 ona 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
24statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the
organization’ 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 misstatement of the financial
statements will not be prevented or detected by the organization's internal control.
My 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 or material
weaknesses. I did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that I consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above,
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether ESTEM’s financial statement
are free of material misstatement, I 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 my audit, and accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. The results
of my tests disclosed no instances on 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 management, the Board of
Directors, others within the entity, The Houston Independent School District, the Texas
Education Agency, and federal awarding agencies and pass through entities and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than the specified parties.
