We have audited the financial statements of Hope Educational Foundation International, Inc. as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated February 26, 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.
