Our engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures will be conducted in accordance with attestation <br />standards established by the American Institute of certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the <br />procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in the report.

If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the <br />procedures, we will describe any restrictions on the performance of the procedures in our report, or will not <br />issue a report as a result of this engagement. <br /> <br />Because the agreed-upon procedures listed in Exhibit A do not constitute an examination, we will not express <br />an opinion on transactions associated with the City's 5-Points Project.
