i I | APPENDIX A Village of Springville, New York Circumstances Affecting Timing and Fee Estimate Year Ended May 31, 2026 The estimate of our fees is based on certain assumptions. To the extent that certain circumstances as listed in this Appendix arise during the engagement, our fee estimate may be significantly affected and additional fees may be necessary.

Changes to the timing of the engagement usually require reassignment of personnel used by Drescher & Malecki LLP (D&M) in the performance of services hereunder.

All audit schedules are not (a) provided by the Village on the date requested, (b) completed in a format acceptable to D&M (c) mathematically correct, or (d) in agreement with the appropriate Village records (e.g., general ledger accounts).
