We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United

the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc. at December 31, 2009 and
2008, and changes in its net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with

We have audited the financial statements of Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc. as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2009, and have issued our report thereon dated April 9, 2010. We
conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards applicable to financial
audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Hope Educational Foundation International,
Inc.’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with
certain laws, regulations, contracts, and grants, non compliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statements 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 that are required to
be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc.,
internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not provide assurance on the internal control
over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not
necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material
weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the
internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in
amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not
be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions.

Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc. (HEF), with the
types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Executive Office of the
Governor’s State Projects Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal
programs for the year ended December 31, 2009. Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc..,
major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of HEF's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on HEF compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect
on a major federal program or state financial assistance projects occurred. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence about HEF's compliance with those requirements and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on HEF's compliance
with those requirements.
In our opinion, Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc., complied, in all material respects, with
the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs projects for
the year ended December 31, 2009.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM Page 2
Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc., is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable
to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered HEF's internal control over
compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program
and state financial assistance projects in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in
accordance with OMB Circular A-133.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the
design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants
that would be material in relation to a major federal program being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We
noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses.
