RUTHERFORD HOUSE

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30. 2008

1. Nature of Business.For the year ending June 30, 2008, five homes for boys were operated for delinquent adolescents.These individuals are usually placed in the home by juvenile court. Rutherford House also operates aschooling program for the adolescents. Rutherford House receives substantially all of its incomefrom state and local government grants, generally under third-party reimbursement plans, and is anot-for-profit entity exempt from federal income taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section501(c)(3).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

a) Financial Statement Presentation:As a not-for-profit entity, Rutherford House is required to report information regarding itsfinancial position and activities based on the absence or existence of donor-imposed restrictions.Accordingly, net assets of Rutherford House and changes therein may be classified and reportedas follows:

Unrestricted net assets - Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. Someunrestricted net assets may be designated by the Board for specific purposes.

Temporarily restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may orwill be met by actions of Rutherford House, and/or by the passage of time.

Permanently restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they bemaintained permanently by Rutherford House. Generally, donors permit all or part of theincome earned on these assets to be used for general or specific purposes.

There were no significant temporarily or permanently restricted net assets at June 30, 2008,other than those disclosed in Note 8.

(b) Contributions:Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanentlyrestricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor-imposed restrictions.Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets ifthe restrictions expire in the fiscal year in which the contributions are recognized. All otherdonor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restrictednet assets, depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, temporarilyrestricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. Contributions from related partiesapproximated $26,000 during the fiscal year.

(c) Promises to Give:Contributions are recognized when the donor makes a promise to give to the Organization that is,in substance, unconditional. Rutherford House uses the allowance method to determineuncollectible unconditional promises receivable, when material. The allowance is based onprior years' experience and management's analysis of specific promises made.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued)

(d) Estimates:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual resultscould differ from those estimates.

(e) Fixed Assets:Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation iscomputed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Asset Estimated Life

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 5-10 yearsHouse improvements 10-20 yearsBuildings 20 years

Donated property and equipment are reported at their estimated fair market value at the date ofgift. All expenditures for fixed assets in excess of $500 are capitalized.

(f) Cash Equivalents:For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Rutherford House considers all cash on hand anddemand deposits with banks to be cash equivalents.

(g) Advertising Costs:Costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.

(h) Compensated Absences:Annual leave generally is earned by employees at the rate of eight hours per month, beginningwith the third month of employment. A maximum of fifteen days may be carried forward to thenext fiscal year.

Sick leave generally is earned at the rate of eight hours per month, cumulative to a maximum ofthirty-six days. Sick leave is not redeemable when an employee separates from theorganization.

The Board of DirectorsRutherford HouseShreveport, Louisiana

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and onCompliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed

in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

We have audited the financial statements of Rutherford House, as of and for the year ended June 30,2008,and have issued our report thereon dated November 12,2008. We conducted our audit in accordance withauditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable tofinancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of theUnited States.

Internal Control Over Financial ReportingIn planning and performing our audit, we considered Rutherford House's internal control over financialreporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on thefinancial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of RutherfordHouse's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on theeffectiveness of Rutherford House's internal control over financial reporting.

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management oremployees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatementson a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies,that adversely affects Rutherford House's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financialdata reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than aremote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will notbe prevented or detected by Rutherford House's internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results inmore than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be preventedor detected by Rutherford House's internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in thefirst paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control thatmight be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internalcontrol over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
