We also propose that the rental rate increase be applied to all new residents. We also recommend a 4% increase in keeping with the proforma budget model.

NOTES

Rates are for the academic year/10 month term.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Member

CSI Student Housing, LLC:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CSI Student Housing, LLC (the

Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CSI Student Housing, LLC as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’

Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

WILLIAMSVILLE GROUP

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audits.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.

Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audits in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audits.

Statements of Cash Flows

Years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2025 and 2024

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Nature of Activities

CSI Student Housing, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the Company) was organized to develop and construct student housing on the campus of the College of

Staten Island (the College) of the City University of New York (CUNY or the

University). The College of Staten Island Auxiliary Services Corporation, Inc. (the

Corporation) is the sole member of the Company. The Corporation and Company are collectively referred to as the Auxiliary.

(b) Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

States of America.

(c) Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Cash

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes money market accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

(e) Receivables and Bad Debts

The Company's tenant receivables are primarily derived from rental income. At each statement of financial position date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar characteristics exit and individually when there are no shared characteristics.

The allowance method is derived from a review of the Company's historical losses based on an aging of receivables. Historical losses have been consistent. This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, forecasts of future events, and other factors deemed relevant risk factors. As a result, management has determined that the allowance for credit losses is adequate.

The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates that there is no possibility of collection. If any recoveries are made from any accounts receivables previously written off, they will be recognized in revenue. The total amount of write-offs was $907,824 for the year ended June 30, 2025. There were no write-offs during the year ended June 30, 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(e) Receivables and Bad Debts, Continued

The allowance for credit losses and the related activity for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, is as follows:

2025 2024

Balance at beginning of year $ 2,233,140 1,411,452

Bad debts 575,715 821,688

Write-offs (907,824) -

Balance at end of year $ 1,901,031 2,233,140

(f) Investments

Investments are reported at their fair values based on quoted market prices at the date of donation. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the statements of operations.

(g) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

A framework has been established for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability; and

• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(g) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Continued

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Company assesses the levels of the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with its accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(h) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight line method. Improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property and equipment, the appropriate property and equipment accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statements of operations.

(i) Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its rental property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

For assets held and used, if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, an impairment loss has occurred. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, no impairment loss has been recognized by the

Company.

(j) Rental Income

Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Company and the tenants of the property are short-term operating leases.

(k) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the report which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

(l) Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owner on its respective income tax return. The Company’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a limited liability company. Accordingly, the Company is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Company has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

(2) Cash and Restricted Deposits

(a) Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits

Custodial credit risk of deposits is the risk that the Company’s deposits may not be returned in the event of a bank failure. At June 30, 2025, $7,470,980 of the Company’s bank balance of $7,970,980 was exposed to custodial credit risk as it was uninsured and uncollateralized. At June 30, 2024, $8,003,524 of the Company’s bank balance of

$8,503,524 was exposed to custodial credit risk as it was uninsured and uncollateralized.

The Company does not have a deposit policy.

(b) Custodial Credit Risk - Investments

Custodial credit risk as it relates to investments is the risk that in the event of failure of the counterparty of a transaction, the Company will not be able to recover the value of its investment portfolio that is in the possession of that failed counterparty. At June 30, 2024, the Company’s entire investment portfolio balance of $85, was exposed to custodial credit risk, as it was uninsured and uncollateralized.
