INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of National Performance Network, Inc. New Orleans, Louisiana
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of National Performance Network, inc. (a Louisiana not-for-profit corporation) (the Organization), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30,2016 and 2015, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with 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.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in orderto 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. Accordingly, we 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Performance Network, Inc. as of June 30,2016 and 2015 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matter
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The Schedule of Compensation, Benefits, and Other Payments to Agency Head on page 18 is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the State of Louisiana Act 706, and is not a required part of the financial statements.
The Schedule of Compensation, Benefits, and Other Payments to Agency Head 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 our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 30, 2017, on our consideration of National Performance Network, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and on our 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 our 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 National Performance Network, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

National Performance Network, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities
National Performance Network, Inc. (the Organization) is a group of diverse cultural organizers, including artists, working to create meaningful partnerships and provide leadership that enables the practice and public experience of the performing arts in the United States. The Organization services artists, arts organizers, and a broad and diverse range of audiences and communities across the country through commissions, residencies, community cultural projects, and other artistic activities. In certain programs, the Organization subsidizes artists' and presenters' projects.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, where revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. Contributions are recognized when received or unconditionally promised. In-kind donations are recognized at fair value when received.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America. The Organization classifies resources for accounting and reporting purposes into three net asset categories which are unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted based upon the following criteria:
• Unrestricted net assets represent expendable funds available for operations which are not otherwise limited by donor restrictions.
• Temporarily restricted net assets consist of contributed funds subject to specific donor-imposed restrictions contingent upon specific performance of a future event or a specific passage of time before the Organization may spend the funds.
• Permanently restricted net assets are subject to irrevocable donor restrictions requiring that the assets be maintained in perpetuity usually forthe purpose ofgeneratinginvestmentincome to fund current operations. There were no permanently restricted net assets at June 30, 2016 or 2015.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Income Taxes
The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been designated as an organization which is not a private foundation. It is exempt from Louisiana income tax underthe Section 121(5)ofTitle47ofthe Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. Management believes there are no uncertain tax positions included in the accompanying financial statements. The Organization had no unrelated business activity in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Donated Assets and Services
The Organization records non-cash donations as contributions at its estimated fair value at the date of the donation. Such donations are reported as unrestricted support unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose. Contributed services are recorded when the services, if significant in amount, create or enhance non-financial assets or require specialized skills provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Organization considers all highly liquid investments that mature within three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and interest bearing demand deposits. Management believes the amounts recorded in the accompanying financial statements approximate fair value.
Accounts and Grants Receivable
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from other organizations, as well as individuals. Grants receivable represent amounts due from foundations and other organizations. Amounts are stated at net realizable value and management estimates that all amounts are collectible. Management believes the accounts receivable and grants receivable amounts recorded in the accompanying financial statements approximate fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Certificate of Deposits
Investments as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 represent certificates of deposit which do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents; these certificates bore interest rates ranging from 0.30% to 0.55%.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts reflected in the statements of financial position for cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and grants receivable approximate the respective fair values of those instruments, due to their relatively short collection times.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, with the exception of donated items, which are recorded at fair market value at the date of the donation. It is the Organization's policy to capitalize expenditures for items in excess of $500 with a useful life greater than one year. Acquisitions and donations of property and equipment are recorded as unrestricted assets, unless the donor imposes a restriction. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, approximately five to fifteen years, on a straight-line basis.
Grants Payable
The Organization acts as an intermediary for partners within their network. Grants payable represents amounts due to other organizations and foundations that pass through the Organization that have been received as of year-end but have yet to be disbursed.
Functional Expense Allocation
Generally, expenses are charged to each program or function based on direct expenditures incurred. Expenditures not directly chargeable are allocated to programs or functions based on management's estimated percentage of time spent by the Organization's employees on each program.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Unrestricted Revenue and Support
The Organization receives its support and revenue primarily from private foundations. Grants and contributions received, as well as collectible unconditional promises to give, are recognized in the period received or unconditionally pledged. Grants and contributions with donor-imposed restrictions are reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires, 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. Pledged contributions are recorded as receivables when a firm pledge is made and collectability is reasonably determinable. If a pledge is to be received over a period of more than a year, the respective non-current amount is recorded at the net present value of future contributions as a non-current receivable.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year.
NOTE 2: CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Organization maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in various financial institutions located in New Orleans, Louisiana, that may, at times, exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2016, the Organization's cash balances exceeded the FDIC insurance by 1,298,611. The Organization's cash balances did not exceed the FDIC insurance at June 30, 2015. Management has not experienced losses in the past and believes the risk of loss would be insignificant to the financial statements and the operations of the Organization.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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 of National Performance Network, Inc. New Orleans, Louisiana
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of National Performance Network, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) (the Organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30,2016, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses, and cashflows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated May 30, 2017.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Organization's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control.
A deficiency in internai control 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 and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A materiai weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely bas\s. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
-19-
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's financial statements are free from 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.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Organization's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

National Performance Network, Inc. Schedule of Findings and Responses
For The Year Ended June 30, 2016
Finding 2016-001 Timely Submission of Annual Audit Report
Condition: National Performance Network, Inc. is required to remit the annual audited financial statements to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor no later than six months after year-end.
Criteria: Louisiana state statute 24:511 - 24:559, Louisiana Audit Law, states that quasi-public entities with more than $500,000 in revenue must submit their audited annual financial reports to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor within six (6) months of the close of the auditee's fiscal year.
Effect: Late submission causes the auditee to be put on the non-compliance list and can result in withholding of state and/or federal pass-through funding to the auditee.
Cause: Turnover of several key accounting staff caused the submission of the annual audit report to be filed late.
Recommendation: We recommend that management implement policies and procedures to ensure timely filing of any and all required reports.
Management's Response and Corrective Action Plan: The Organization has hired a new CEO and is working on implementing policies to ensure timely filing of all audit reports.
