ACTS Community Development Corporation and Affiliate
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ACTS Community Development Corporation
and Affiliate (a nonprofit organization) which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and
the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the
financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of ACTS Community Development Corporation and Affiliate as of December 31, 2014,
and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter(s)
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
The supplementary schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion,
the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.

ACTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATE
Organization
ACTS Community Development Corporations (ACTS Housings) mission is to promote
affordable homeownership that fosters a low-income familys ability to be self-empowered,
thereby reducing community blight, neighborhood deterioration, and poverty.
ACTS Lending, Inc. provides mortgage capital to assist families with financing for the repairs
needed to reclaim vacant, vandalized, homes in Milwaukees inner-city.
Accounting Method
The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives
of the assets using the straight-line method. The Organization capitalizes all fixed assets
greater than $500.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at unpaid balances, less an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Organization provides for losses on accounts receivable using the allowance method.
The allowance is based on experience, third-party contracts, and other circumstances, which
may affect the ability of customers to meet their obligations. Receivables are considered
impaired if full principal payments are not received in accordance with the contractual terms.
It is the Organizations policy to charge off uncollectible accounts receivable when
management determines the receivables will not be collected. Management believes all
receivables will be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Thus, no
allowance for uncollectible accounts is necessary at year end other than the allowance for
loan losses included in Note E.

ACTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
Loans Receivable
Loans Receivable are stated at unpaid balances, reduced by allowances for loan losses.
Interest income and late fees on loans are accrued when earned. Loans are made to
individual homeowners. Rehab loans are usually initiated within three months of closing
when additional repairs are needed to repair distressed properties. The loans payable to
ACTS Housing are generally $3,000 loans at 0% interest paid monthly over 3-5 years. Three
larger rehab loans were issued prior to 2014 at a 7% fixed interest rate payable over a 15-
year term. All loans are secured by each property. A $15 late fee is charged when a
payment is not made by the 15th of the month. This fee is added to the end of the payment
schedule.
The allowances for loan losses are maintained at a level which, in managements judgment,
is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, in consideration of the
nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific
impaired loans, and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally
determined after considering collateral values. An increase to the allowance is reduced by
loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Basis of Presentation
The Organization reports information regarding its financial position and activities according
to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and
permanently restricted net assets. Assets of the restricted classes are created only by
donor-imposed restrictions.
Contributions
All contributions are considered available for the ACTS general programs unless specifically
restricted by the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted
by the donor are reported as temporarily or permanently restricted support and increase the
respective class of net assets. Contributions received with temporary restrictions that are
met in the same reporting period are reported as unrestricted support and increase
unrestricted net assets. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are
reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net
assets released from restrictions. Investment income that is limited to specific uses by donor
restrictions is reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions are met in the
same reporting period as the income is recognized.

ACTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for
comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current-year financial
statements.
The financial information shown for 2013 in the accompanying financial statements is
included to provide a basis for comparison with 2014 and presents summarized totals only.
The comparative information is summarized by total only, not by net asset class. Such
information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity to
generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in
conjunction with the Organizations financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2013 from which the summarized information was derived.
The Organization maintains its cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At
December 31, 2014, the Organizations uninsured cash balances totaled $387,071,
Accounts and Grants Receivable consists of the following as of December 31, 2014:

ACTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
The Organization considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a
higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The
balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on managements review and
evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of
the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including
managements assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these
factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from
managements estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would
adversely impact earnings in future periods. ACTS Lending, Inc.s management frequently
reviews the loan portfolio to assign and maintain the loan loss reserves based upon the
grade of the credit. The loan loss reserve percentage allocations are established annually.
The allowance for loan losses has a minimum balance of $5,000. Loans receivable are
presented net of a loan loss allowance of $16,240 at December 31, 2014.
Loss
Whenever any portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, in part or in whole, a partial or full
charge-off will be made against the Allowance for Loan Losses based on a conservative
estimate of the realizable liquidation value. A loan that is impaired and foreclosure or loss of
the asset is imminent must be charged off unless there are realistic expectations that the
borrower can bring the account current or a realistic restructure can be negotiated.
Management keeps current on information throughout the year that would classify a loan
asset as a loss.
The key to ACTS Housings credit risk management is its loan originating system. Staff
recommends decisions on loans based primarily on a thorough analysis of each borrowers
financial capacity in conjunction with collateral values and the inherent credit risk specific to
the transaction. Approvals are made by an independent Executive Committee, whose
members are the officers of ACTS Lending, Inc.s Board of Directors. Loans are monitored
monthly by the Executive Director and a third-party accountant, and at least 4 times per year
by the Lending Advisory Board, Finance Committee and Board of Directors.
Allowances are recognized for all loans based on the category of loan grade assigned to
each loan as outlined below. Once graded, loan losses are reserved at the following
percentages:
Grade 4 5%
Grade 5 15%
Grade 6 37%

ACTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
Loans are not to carry a lower reserve, but based on the specific circumstances of a
particular loan, it may carry higher reserves. Loan loss reserve percentages are reviewed
and established annually.
Grade 4 - Acceptable
These loans are generally acceptable asset quality. Primary source of loan repayment is
acceptable and verified. Acceptable credit/credit verifications or pathway to improved credit,
but borrowers financial condition evidence slightly above average risk; requires slightly
above normal supervision and attention from Banker. The source of increased risk has been
identified, can be effectively managed/corrected, and the increased risk is not significant to
warrant a more severe rating.
Grade 5 - Watch
Loan coverage is somewhat erratic, future coverage is uncertain and liquidity is strained.
Indicators of potential deterioration of repayment sources have resulted in uncertainty or
unknown factors concerning the status of the credit. Risk Rating of Watch is considered
transitory in nature. When the factors causing the uncertainty have been clearly defined, a
risk rating should be assigned commensurate with the risk characteristics and circumstances
that exist. Quarterly memorandums regarding action plans for managing the risk of the
credit must be developed for credits in this category.
Grade 6 - Substandard
While probability of loss is high (account is past due over 90 days), there are existing factors
that may strengthen the asset. A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current
sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so
classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation
of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Organization will
sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
As of December 31, 2014, Allowance for Loan Losses consists of the following:

Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are defined as underwater loans to low and mid income level individuals and
families whose loan payments are significantly late. Impaired loans are written off when
foreclosure is probable. When a loan is determined to be impaired, an allowance account for
37% of the loan is recognized. A $15 late fee is charged when a payment is not made by the
15th of the month. This fee is added to the end of the payment schedule. The impaired
loans below are not interest bearing and included in grade 6 loans. Average Recorded
Investment is defined as the average of the loan balances as of December 31, 2014 and
2013.
As of December 31, 2014, the Organization had the following impaired loans:

DECEMBER 31, 2014
The Organization is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code and is classified as other than a private foundation. The Affiliate is a solely owned

previously filed tax returns and those expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of
December 31, 2014, the Organization and Affiliate had no amounts related to unrecognized
income tax benefits and no amounts related to accrued interest and penalties. The
Organization does not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized income tax
benefits over the next year.

through September 1,2015, the date the financial statements are available to be issued, for
possible adjustments to the financial statements or disclosures. The Organization has
determined that the following subsequent event needs to be disclosed:
On February 13, 2015, ACTS Lending, Inc. obtained a $250,000 line of credit with a fixed
interest rate of 2%. The line of credit matures on February 13, 2016 with an option to renew

The Organization considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a
higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The
balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on managements review and
evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of
the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including
managements assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. Al! of these
factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from
managements estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would
adversely impact earnings in future periods. ACTS Lending, Inc.s management frequently
reviews the loan portfolio to assign and maintain the loan loss reserves based upon the
grade of the credit. The loan loss reserve percentage allocations are established annually.
The allowance for loan losses has a minimum balance of $5,000. Loans receivable are
presented net of a loan loss allowance of $24,672 at December 31, 2015.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Loss
Whenever any portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, in part or in whole, a partial or full
charge-off will be made against the allowance for loan losses based on a conservative
estimate of the realizable liquidation value. A loan that is impaired and foreclosure or loss of
the asset is imminent must be charged off unless there are realistic expectations that the
borrower can bring the account current or a realistic restructure can be negotiated.
Management keeps current on information throughout the year that would classify a loan
asset as a loss.
The key to ACTS Housings credit risk management is its loan originating system. Staff
recommends decisions on loans based primarily on a thorough analysis of each borrowers
financial capacity in conjunction with collateral values and the inherent credit risk specific to
the transaction. Approvals are made by an independent executive committee, whose
members are the President and Treasurer of the ACTS Lending, Inc.s Board of Directors,
and the Chair of the ACTS Lending, Inc.s Advisory Board. Loans are monitored monthly by
the Executive Director and a third-party accountant, and at least 4 times per year by the
Lending Advisory Board, Finance Committee and Board of Directors.
Allowances are recognized for all loans based on the category of loan grade assigned to
each loan as outlined below. Once graded, loan losses are reserved at the following
percentages:
Grade 4 5%
Grade 5 15%
Grade 6 37%
Loans are not to carry a lower reserve, but based on the specific circumstances of a
particular loan, it may carry higher reserves. Loan loss reserve percentages are reviewed
and established annually.
Grade 4 - Acceptable
These loans are generally acceptable asset quality. Primary source of loan repayment is
acceptable and verified. Acceptable credit/credit verifications or pathway to improved credit,
but borrowers financial condition evidence slightly above average risk; requires slightly
above normal supervision and attention from management. The source of increased risk
has been identified, can be effectively managed/corrected, and the increased risk is not
significant to warrant a more severe rating.

ACTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Grade 5 - Watch
Loan coverage is somewhat erratic, future coverage is uncertain and liquidity is strained.
Indicators of potential deterioration of repayment sources have resulted in uncertainty or
unknown factors concerning the status of the credit. Risk Rating of Watch is considered
transitory in nature. When the factors causing the uncertainty have been clearly defined, a
risk rating should be assigned commensurate with the risk characteristics and circumstances
that exist. Quarterly memorandums regarding action plans for managing the risk of the
credit must be developed for credits in this category.
Grade 6 - Substandard
While probability of loss is high (account is past due over 90 days), there are existing factors
that may strengthen the asset. A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current
sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so
classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation
of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Organization will
suslain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
As of December 31, 2015, allowance for loan losses consists of the following:
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are defined as underwater loans to low and mid income level individuals and
families whose loan payments are significantly late. Impaired loans are written off when
foreclosure is probable. When a loan is determined to be impaired, an allowance account for
37% of the loan is recognized. A $15 late fee is charged when a payment is not made by the
15th of the month. This fee is added to the end of the payment schedule. The impaired
loans below are not interest bearing ahd included in grade 6 loans. Average Recorded
Investment is defined as the average of the loan balances as of December 31, 2015 and
2014.
