PROCESS FOR THE SELECTION AND MONITORING OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR: PART XII, LINE 2C: THE PROCESS HAS NOT CHANGED FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. FINANCIAL STATEMENT CONDITIONS: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT BELIEVE THAT FIRST CANDLE HAS THE RESOURCES NEEDED IN ORDER TO OPERATE INDEFINITELY; HOWEVER, THEY RECOGNIZE THAT IT WILL BE AN UPHILL CHALLENGE. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS TAKEN STRONG AND DECISIVE ACTION IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2013 TO ENSURE THE LOSSES REFLECTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 ARE NOT REPEATED. A NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, KELLY MARIOTTI, HAS BEEN HIRED AND INSTALLED. MS. MARIOTTI HAS CONSIDERABLE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE. UNDER HER LEADERSHIP, IN THE FIRST HALF OF FISCAL YEAR 2013, EIGHT SALARIED STAFF POSITIONS, INCLUDING THE POSITION OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, WERE ELIMINATED, REDUCING TOTAL STAFF BY APPROXIMATELY 50% AND RELATED EXPENSE BY OVER $400,000 ANNUALLY. IN ADDITION, DURING THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2013, AN INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY, STINGFELLOW MANAGEMENT GROUP (SMG) WAS RETAINED. SMG WILL ASSUME ALL ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS AS WELL AS PROVIDE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR FIRST CANDLE. THE TRANSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS TO SMG WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL OVERHEAD SAVINGS. DURING THIS TRANSITION PERIOD THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE MEETING MONTHLY TO REVIEW THE FINANCIAL STATUS OF FIRST CANDLE TO FURTHER IDENTIFY COST SAVING STRATEGIES. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT BELIEVE THAT THESE REDUCTIONS IN OVERHEAD, ALTHOUGH SUBSTANTIAL, WILL NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE QUALITY OF FIRST CANDLES PROGRAMS OR SERVICES. INSTEAD, GREATER OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES WILL RESULT FROM A REVISED ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE THAT EMPHASIZES CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES, A SIMPLIFIED REPORTING STRUCTURE AND QUALITY OVER QUANTITY OF STAFF PERSONS. THIS STRUCTURE WILL BETTER ENABLE FIRST CANDLE TO EXECUTE PROGRAMS AND EVALUATE OUTCOMES. IN ADDITION, FIRST CANDLE IS IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING A FRESH AND MODERN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY THAT WILL PRIORITIZE RAISING BROADER AWARENESS WHILE CONNECTING DESIRABLE PROGRAMS WITH SPECIFIC AND DESIGNATED FUNDING SOURCES. STRONGER FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND BETTER COST ALLOCATION WILL ENSURE THAT A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS RAISED BY FIRST CANDLE WILL GO DIRECTLY TO PROGRAMS.
