Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of River Kourt Apartments under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of River Kourt Apartments, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, functional expenses, or cash flows of River Kourt Apartments. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. River Kourt Apartments was awarded a capital advance in the amount of $1,096,400 from HUD in 1996 under Section 811 of the National Affordable Housing Act. The capital advance qualifies as a major program due to continuing compliance requirements associated with this unamortizable mortgage. Also included in this major program is the HUD Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) awarded. These programs are both components of HUD Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities, which is the major program. Determination of the amount of federal awards expended for the Section 811 Capital Advance Program is based on the June 30, 2024 balance of the capital advance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. The balance of the capital advance at June 30, 2024 was $1,096,400.
