Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of Bethany Housing Corporation d/b/a Reilly Manor (the “Project”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 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 the Project, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Project.
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.
The Project has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The balances and transactions related to the federal rural rental housing loan program are included in the Project’s basic financial statements. Loans outstanding at the beginning of the year are included in the federal expenditures presented in the Schedule. There were no loans made during the year ended December 31, 2024. The balance of loans outstanding at December 31, 2024 was $1,789,830.
