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 SPF, it is not intended to and does not
present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of SPF.
