Independent Auditor's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Complianceand Other Matters Based On An Audit Of Financial Statements Performed In Accordance With

Government Auditing Standards

To: The Board of DirectorsOpportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachlta, Incorporated

I have audited the financial statements of Opportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachita, Incorporated(a nonprofit organization) for the year ended June 30, 2008, and have issued my report thereon datedSeptember 19, 2008. I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted inthe United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial ReportingIn planning and performing my audit, I considered Opportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachita,Incorporated's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing my auditing procedures forthe purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Opportunities Industrialization Center ofOuachita, Incorporated's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I do not express anopinion on the effectiveness of the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachita, Incorporated'sinternal 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 detectmisstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination ofcontrol deficiencies, that adversely affects Opportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachita,Incorporated's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that amisstatement of the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachita, Incorporated's financialstatements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the OpportunitiesIndustrialization Center of Ouachita, Incorporated'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 beprevented or detected by the Opportunities Industrialization Center of Ouachita, Incorporated's internalcontrol.

My 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 that

15

Independent Auditor's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance andOther Matters Based On An Audit Of Financial Statements Performed In Accordance WithGovernment Auditing Standards (Continued)

might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. I did not identify any deficiencies in internalcontrol over financial reporting that I consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other MattersAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Opportunities Industrialization Center ofOuachita, Incorporated's financial statements are free of material misstatement, I performed tests of itscompliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliancewith 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 ofnoncompliance 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 audit committee, management, Board ofDirectors, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and shouldnot be used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, this report is a matter of public recordand its distribution is not limited.
