LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND CITIZENS OF BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA SEPTEMBER 14,2004 In compliance with the Public School Laws of North Carolina, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Brunswick County Board of Education (Board), operating as 0Brunswick County Schools," for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, is herewith submitted.

The accuracy, completeness and clarity of the financial report are the responsibility of the Board. The accompanying financial report has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles by the Finance Department.

All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain a complete understanding of the Board's financial activities have been included.The comprehensive annual financial report is presented in four sections:

  • Bolivia, North Carolina 28422 * (910) 253-2900 rFLr- (910) 253-2983 REPORTING ENTITY The Board, a local education agency empowered by the North Carolina General Statutes, has responsibility and control over all activities related to public school education in Brunswick County, North Carolina.

Because the members of the Board are elected officials of Brunswick County and have the authority to designate management, have the ability to significantly influence operations and are primarily accountable for fiscal matters, the. Board is recognized as a separate governmental reporting entity under definition by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The Board has limited borrowing authority, can not levy taxes and is required to maintain accounting records in a uniform state format established by the State's General Assembly.

The Board receives government funding from local, State and federal sources and must comply with established legal requirements of each funding entity.ECONOMIC CONDITION AND FUTURE OUTLOOK Brunswick County's diversified economy includes agriculture, manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries.

The majority of the county's economy is split between two industries:

agriculture and non-manufacturing, of which service, trade and tourism are the strongest in this area. Brunswick County has approximately eighty four thousand residents, which ranks the county as the 31st most populous county in North Carolina.The future economic outlook of Brunswick County is positive.

Tourism continues to grow each year and with neighboring counties' growth potential leveling out, trade and service companies are looking to Brunswick County for development.

The county's growth increases the educational needs of the county's children.

The Board of County Commissioners has responded to these needs by adopting the 2004-2005 fiscal budget in which $22.1 million is appropriated for general fund expenditures and $4.2 million for capital outiay.MAJOR INITIATIVES The Board of Education in Brunswick County adopted the Superintendent's Critical Performance Goals as guiding principles and evaluative criteria for 2003-2004.

The administration is working to improve student achievement throughout the school system by providing effective instruction.

The system is developing a cadre of instructional leaders and implementing specific programs to support achievement.

Expectations have been raised not only for students, but also for Board administrators and staff. A system-wide plan for staff development is being implemented and augmentation of existing remediation programs is being provided.The Board was honored to have twelve of sixteen schools receive recognition under the guidelines of the state accountability program (ABCs). Bolivia Elementary School, Southport Elementary School, Union Elementary School, Virginia Williamson Elementary School, Brunswick Learning Center, North Brunswick High School and South Brunswick High School achieved high growth status. Bolivia Elementary School and Jessie Mae Monroe Elementary School were recognized as schools of distinction with over eighty percent of students performing at grade level as measured by the state accountability program. Waccamaw Elementary School was recognized as a school of excellence with over ninety percent of students performing at grade level as measured by the state accountability program. Southport Elementary School, Union Elementary School and Virginia Williamson Elementary School were all recognized as a honor school of excellence with over ninety percent of students performing at grade level as well as meeting adequate yearly progress goals as outlined in the state plan. Finally, Bolivia Elementary School, South Brunswick Middle School, Southport Elementary School, Supply Elementary School, Union Elementary School, Virginia Williamson Elementary School, North Brunswick High School and South Brunswick High School all met adequate yearly progress..

vii The Board and administration continue to improve the perception of students, Board employees and citizens of Brunswick County by striving to establish a system of excellence in education.

To accomplish this, we will provide consistent, effective leadership and maintain a safe and orderly environment in all schools. The administration is working to improve internal and external communications with students, County residents and other school support organizations.

The system works to improve the attendance in the schools and reduce the number of students quitting school or becoming dependent on drugs by strengthening the dropout prevention and drug-free programs.The administration has increased the support services to at-risk students through additional remediation and a dropout prevention task force. The Board continuously seeks appropriate grants supporting improved education and services for the students of Brunswick County.The Board is improving operational services to students by developing and implementing preventive maintenance plans in operational programs.

The Administration strives to provide more efficient and effective transportation, as well as enhancing the nutrition services provided to our students.

The Board continues to strengthen personnel services through intensified recruitment of talented employees and refining procedural processes for employment.

The administration is working to provide improved and safer facilities for students by developing and implementing plans for the construction of new facilities and improvement of existing facilities.

The voters of Brunswick County approved a general obligation bond referendum November 1999 in the amount of $83.5 million to complete construction projects.

The projects are divided into three phases of construction to be completed during five years.The first phase consisted of the construction of the Jessie Mae Monroe Elementary School to serve the western part of the county and renovations of the three high schools for a total budget of $49.1 million. Phase two is expected to be complete September 2004 and consists of renovations to Lincoln Elementary, Southport Elementary, Waccamaw Elementary, Leland Middle and Union Elementary for a total budget of $19.5 million. The majority of the final phase of the construction program is expected to be complete December 2004 and includes renovations to Bolivia Elementary, Shallotte Middle and South Brunswick Middle. Phase three includes the construction of a new alternative school, which is currently being designed and is expected to open August 2006 for a total budget of $14.9 million.The Board and administration are working to update and revise the system-wide long-range facilities plan and recommend additional facilities for the county growth, as well as implement necessary preventive maintenance for existing facilities.

Funds were established in the fiscal year 2004-2005 budget to purchase land for a middle school.The Board continues to integrate technology into the school system. Each individual school and administrative unit in the County has been connected to a wide area network. All schools are now connected through a dark fiber network thus improving the Internet speed for all locations.

In addition, the high schools and the central office have distant learning technology.

The Board seeks to coordinate this technology into student's curriculum and connect outside educational programs through the Internet.In an effort to position the Brunswick County Schools as a leader among North Carolina School Systems in the incorporation of research-based best practices, the Board and administration have established a Business Advisory Council and five separate task forces -each made up of administrators, teachers, parents, community leaders and each with Board representation

-to study the issues facing the school system over the next decade and make recommendations to the Board in the areas of policy, school-based practices and procedures, staff development and resource management designed to address those issues. The Business Advisory Council is joined by the Dropout Prevention, Closing the Achievement Gap, Public Relations and Customer Service, Professional Workplace and'Fundamental Disconnect' Task Forces in bringing these issues to the forefront of local awareness and discussion.

FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROLS The Board's accounts are organized in funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity, to record the allocation of and accounting for governmental resources for which they are spent and controlled.

Each individual viii fund accounting entity records their operations under a set of self-balancing accounts comprising of assets, £liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate.

£The Board's funds are divided into three major classifications:

governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.

The governmental fund types include the general fund, the special revenue funds and the capital outlay fund. The i Board's enterprise fund is presented as a proprietary fund type. The scholarship (private-purpose trust) fund is 3 included as a fiduciary fund type of the Board. All governmental fund types are accounted for and reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with G.S. 115C-440(b).

The proprietary fund type and fiduciary fund are presented in the financial statement on the accrual basis of accounting.

North Carolina General Statutes also require all governmental units to adopt a balanced budget by July 1st of each year. The Board's annual budget resolution authorizes expenditures at functional level under the modified accrual basis except for the enterprise fund, which is budgeted on the accrual basis, and the individual schools special 3 revenue fund. For internal management purposes, the budget is allocated to line item expenditure accounts.

The g budgetary amounts presented in the accompanying financial statements are in conformity with the legally adopted budget ordinance as amended throughout the fiscal year. The Board uses a purchase order encumbrance system U to record encumbrances outstanding against each expenditure line item to ensure compliance with adopted budget limits. All non-capital outlay outstanding encumbrances are reversed at year-end.

Capital Outlay encumbrances are carried over into the subsequent year and the corresponding budget amounts are reappropriated.

In developing and maintaining an appropriate accounting system, consideration must be given to the adequacy of internal controls.

Internal controls are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance regarding (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for Board assets. The concept of reasonable P assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the p evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

All internal control evaluations performed by the Board occur within the above framework.

We believe the Board's internal control system adequately protects assets and provides reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.

e CASH MANAGEMENT e The Board uses a pooled cash concept to maximize funds available for investment.

Temporarily idle cash is e invested in accordance with applicable state law. Total interest earned for the year was $74,564. Other special revenue funds are not available to the Board until warrants are drawn against the State Treasury and therefore are unavailable for investment.

S The objective of our investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a competitive yield on the investment portfolio.

Accordingly, deposits were either insured by federal depository insurance or collateralized in accordance with state guidelines as described in Note 1 to the Basic Financial Statements.

e S RISK MANAGEMENT Exposure to various risks of loss related to torts; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; natural disasters; and 5 theft of, damages to and destruction of Board assets requires the Board to carry various forms of insurance A including, but not limited to general liability, errors and omissions coverage on Board members and school officials, automobile liability and comprehensive/collision and hazard and theft insurance on property and contents.

A more detailed description of our insurance coverage can be found in Note 2 to the Basic Financial Statements.

.S INDEPENDENT AUDIT The state statutes require an annual audit by independent certified public accountants and the Board has selected p the firm of McGladrey

& Pullen, LLP. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in state statutes, the audit ix ON.. .w was also designed to meet the requirements of the federal Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended, the related U.S.1 0Office of Management and Budget's Circular A-133 and the North Carolina Single Audit Implementation Act, as of stated before. Auditors conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and standards set forth in the General Accounting Office's Government Auditing Standards.

The Financial section of this' report includes the auditor's report on the managements discussion and analysis, the basic financial statements and go the combining and individual fund statements and schedules.

Board personnel prepared all such statements and schedules.

Auditor's reports on the Board's internal controls and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts and grants can be found in the Compliance section of this report.FINANCIAL REPORTING AWARDS_The Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) and the Governmental Finance Officers Association (GFOA)11 awards Certificates of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Boards for their comprehensive annual so financial reports. In order to be awarded the certificate, the Board must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report that satisfies both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.

The Certificates for Achievement are valid for a period of one year only.zA We believe our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the requirements for the Certificates of Achievement and we are submitting it to the ASBO and GFOA to determine its eligibility.

The Board has received so the awards for seven consecutive years.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to express appreciation to all employees who performed their duties in accordance with Board policies and assisted in the reporting of the school system's financial records.In conclusion, we express our appreciation to the members of the Board of Education for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial affairs of the school in a responsible and dedicated manner.

Brunswick County Board of Education, North Carolina Management's Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2004 This section of Brunswick County Board of Education's (the Board) financial report represents management's discussion and analysis of the financial performance of the Board for the year ended June 30, 2004. This information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in this report and the letter of transmittal.

Financial Highlights

  • The Board enjoyed an increased enrollment of 102 students (or 1%) from the previous year.* The Board is renovating existing buildings to accommodate the increased enrollment and to allow it to offer an expanded curriculum to its students.* The Board is working diligently with the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners to find ways to fund increases in supplemental pay for teachers and to fund the continuing need for additional classroom space.* As of the close of the current fiscal year, Brunswick County Board of Education's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $7,305,630.

Approximately 64% of this total, or $4,656,029, is unreserved and undesignated and therefore available for spending at the Board's discretion.

Although special revenue funds include $686,275 in undesignated fund balance, this fund is maintained by individual schools and is not budgeted by the Board.* At the end of the current fiscal year, undesignated fund balance for the General Fund was $3,436,080, or 14% of total general fund expenditures for the fiscal year.Overview of the Financial Statements The Brunswick County Board of Education's financial section consists of three components, excluding the independent auditor's report. They are as follows:* Management's Discussion and Analysis (required supplementary information)

  • Basic Financial Statements
  • Required supplemental section that presents combining and budgetary statements The Basic Financial Statements include two types of statements that present different views of the Board's finances.The first is the Government-wide Statements.

The govemment-wide statements are presented on the full accrual basis of accounting and include the statement of net assets and the statement of activities.

The Statement of Net Assets includes all of the Board's assets and liabilities.

Assets and liabilities are classified in the order of relative liquidity for assets and due date for liabilities.

This statement provides a summary of the Board's investment in assets and obligations to creditors.

Liquidity and financial flexibility can be evaluated using the information contained in this statement.

The Statement of Activities summarizes the Board's revenues and expenses for the current year. A net (expense) revenue format is used to indicate to what extent each function is self-sufficient.

The second set of statements included in the basic financial statements is the Fund Financial Statements, which are presented for the Board's governmental funds, proprietary fund and fiduciary fund. These statements present the governmental funds on the modified accrual basis of accounting, measuring the near term inflows and outflows of 4

.4 financial resources and what is available at year-end to spend in the next fiscal year. The fund financial statements focus on the Board's most significant funds. Because a different basis of accounting is used in the government-wide statements, reconciliation from the governmental fund financial statements to the government-wide statements is required.

The government-wide statements provide information about the Board as an economic unit while the fund financial statements provides information on the financial resources of each of the Board's major funds.Government-wide Statements The government-wide statements report information about the Board as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies.

The Statement of Net Assets includes all of the Board's assets and liabilities.

All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.The two government-wide statements report the Board's net assets and how they have changed. Net assets -the difference between the Board's assets and liabilities

-are one way to measure the Board's financial health or position.* Over time, increases or decreases in the Board's net assets are an indicator of whether its financial position is improving or deteriorating.

  • To assess the Board's overall health, you need to consider additional non-financial factors such as changes in the condition of its school buildings and other physical assets.In the government-wide financial statements, the Board's activities are divided into two categories:
  • Governmental activities:

Most of the Board's basic services are included here, such as regular and special education, transportation and administration.

County appropriations, State aid, Federal grants and other county revenues finance most of these activities.

  • Business-type activities:

The Board charges fees to help it cover the costs of certain services it provides.The Board's Child Nutrition Fund is included here.Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the Board's funds, focusing on its most significant or major" funds -not the Board as a whole. Funds are accounting devices the Board uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending on particular programs.* Some funds are required by State law, such as the State Public School Fund.* The Board has established other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is properly using certain revenues, such as in the Federal Grants Fund.The Board has three types of funds: Governmental funds: Most of the Board's basic services are included in the governmental funds, which generally focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending.

Consequently, the governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps the reader determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the coming year to finance the Board's programs.

Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, additional information at the bottom of the s governmental funds statements, in the form of a reconciliation, explains the relationship (or differences) between the government-side and the fund financial statements.

The Board has several governmental funds: the State Public School Fund, the General Fund, the Federal Grants Fund, the Capital Outlay Fund and the Individual Schools Fund.Proprietary fund: Services for which the Board charges a fee are generally reported in a proprietary fund. The proprietary fund statements are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is the same basis of accounting as the government-wide statements.

The Board has one proprietary fund which is the Child Nutrition Fund.Fiduciary fund: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.

The Board has one fiduciary fund -the Administrative Fund, which is a scholarship fund under the control of the administrative unit. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. This is accounted for as a private-purpose trust fund.Financial Analysis of the Schools as a Whole Net assets are an indicator of the fiscal health of the Board. Assets exceeded liabilities by $128,470,436 as of June 30, 2004. The largest component of net assets is invested in capital assets, net of related debt, of $125,251,094.

It comprises 97.5% of the total net assets. Debt related to these assets is recorded in the financial statements of Brunswick County. Brunswick County Board of Education uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

Of the remaining net assets, $123,398 is restricted and $3,095,944 is, unrestricted.

Following is a summary of the Statement of Net Assets: Figure 1 Condensed Statement of Net Assets As of June 30,2004 Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total Primary Government 613012004 613012003 613012004 613012003 613012004 613012003 Current assets Capital assets Total assets Current liabilities Long-term liabilities Total liabilities Invested in capital assets, net of related debt Restricted net assets Unrestricted net assets (deficit)Total net assets$ 13,741,609

$ 115,246,017 Note that net assets increased during the year, indicating an improvement in the financial condition of the unit. The increase in net assets (11%) was due largely to the increase in capital assets in the governmental activities due to the new school construction.

Unrestricted net assets increased in the business-type activities primarily because of 6 an increase in current assets in the School Food Service fund. Also note that the Board carries capital assets for which Brunswick County carries the offsetting debt.The following table shows the revenues and expenses for the Board for the current fiscal year.Figure 2 Condensed Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes In Net Assets Year Ended June 30,2004 Revenues: Program revenues: Charges for services Operating grants and contributions Capital grants and contributions General revenues: Otherrevenues Total revenues Expenses: Governmental activities:

$12.6 million. Instructional expenses comprised 67% of total governmental-type expenses while support services made up 28% of those expenses.

County funding comprised 41% of total governmental revenue. Much of the remaining 59% of total governmental revenue consists of restricted State and federal money. Business-type activities generated revenue of $4.3 million and had expenses of $4.4 million. Net assets increased in the business-type activities by $556,797, after transfers in from the governmental activities of $642,686.FinancialAnalysis of the Board's Funds Governmental Funds: The focus of Brunswick County Board of Education's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of usable resources.

Such information is useful in assessing the Board's financing requirements.

Specifically, unreserved fund balance can be a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending in the next fiscal year, The Board's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $7,305,630, a $231,805 decrease over last year. All of the Board's governmental funds, except for the Non-Major Governmental Funds, had expenditures and other uses that exceeded revenues and other financing sources, thus the decrease in total fund balance. This was partially due to a $108,040 decrease in reserve for inventories.

State funding increased approximately

$1.6 million 7

  • and county funding increased by $484,685.

Expenditures increased as well, and included over $18 mr outlay. There was no State spending freeze issued by the Governor.Categorization of Expenditures for Governmental Funds.I .Miilion in capital WI VF W WF WI 1%l Instructional Programs* Supporting Services o Nonprogram Charges O Capital Projects 58%22%Proprietary Funds: The Child Nutrition Fund had a loss before capital contributions of $85,889. Expenses increased by $539,882 while revenues increased by $310,330.

This brought about a $229,552 decrease in the impact of operations on net assets over that experienced last year. Although the total ending net assets increased by$556,797 this was due in large part to capital contributions of $642,686.General Fund Budgetary Highlights Over the course of the year, the Board amended the budget several times to account for changes in revenue expectations and to recognize appropriations in light of the revised revenue estimates.

The favorable variance of$93,245 and $155,283 in the General Fund regular instructional program function and special instructional program function, respectively, is attributable to lapsed salaries and benefit costs.Capital Assets Brunswick County Board of Education's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2004, totals $125,295,256 (net of accumulated depreciation).

This was a $13,888,307 (or 12%) increase from the previous year. Expenditures in the various 1999 Brunswick County General Obligation School Bond Projects accounted for most of the capital asset transactions during the year. These expenditures include furniture and equipment, computers, renovations to existing buildings and new construction.

Long Term Obligations During the year, the Board's outstanding long-term obligations increased by $44,162 due to capital leases for modular units and $409,51T due to an increased compensated absences accrual. The Board is limited by North Carolina General Statutes with regards to the types of debt it can issue and for what purpose that debt can be used.Brunswick County and the State of North Carolina have issued all debt for school capital construction.

Additional information can be found in Note 2 of the notes to basic financial statements.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget Highlights The Board anticipates an increased enrollment over the next several years and will need continued increases in classroom space, teachers and equipment.

County funding is a major source of income for the Board; therefore the County's economic outlook directly affects that of the schools. Brunswick County's unemployment rate as of June 2004 was 6%, which was .5% less than the State average of 6.5%. Brunswick County was also able to continue funding for 2003-2004 at slightly increased levels and the Board has seen continued support for 2004-2005.

-.26 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 27 4F (THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) i OFF w OF 28F BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies of Brunswick County Board of Education conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments.

The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies: A. Reporting Entity The Brunswick County Board of Education (Board) is a Local Education Agency empowered by Chapter 115C of the North Carolina General Statutes with the responsibility for the general control and supervision of matters pertaining to public school education in Brunswick County, North Carolina.

The Board receives State, local and federal government funding and must adhere to the legal requirements of each funding source entity. The Board is a primary government with an elected governing body.The Board, a local education agency empowered by the North Carolina General Statutes, has responsibility and control over all activities related to public school education in Brunswick County, North Carolina.

Because the members of the Board are elected officials of Brunswick County and have the authority to designate management, have the ability to significantly influence operations and are primarily accountable for fiscal matters, the Board is recognized as a separate governmental reporting entity under definition by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.The Board has limited borrowing authority, cannot levy taxes and is required to maintain accounting records in a uniform state format established by the State's General Assembly.Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as applied to government units, require the financial statements to include those units or entities for which the Board is considered to be financially accountable.

The Board has no component units or entities for which it is considered to be financially accountable and is not itself considered to be a component unit of another government unit.B. Basis of Presentation Government-wide Statements:

The statement of net assets and the statement of activities display information about the Board. These statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary funds. Eliminations have been made to minimize the effect of internal activities upon revenues and expenses.

These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the Board. Governmental activities generally are financed through intergovernmental revenues and other non-exchange transactions.

Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the different business-type activities of the Board and for each function of the Board's governmental activities.

Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function.

Indirect expense allocations that have been made in the funds have been reversed for the statement of activities.

Program revenues include (a) fees and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues.29 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fund Financial Statements:

The fund financial statements provide information about the Board's funds, including its fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each fund category -governmental, proprietary and fiduciary

-are presented.

The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. The fiduciary funds are presented separately.

Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchage transactions or ancillary activities.

The Board reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund -The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Board and is used to account for all financial resources except for those required to be accounted for in another fund.This fund is the 6Local Current Expense Fund," mandated by G.S. 115C426.State Public School Fund -The State Public School Fund includes appropriations from the Department of Public Instruction for the current operating expenditures of the public school system.Capital Outlay Fund -The Capital Outlay Fund is used to account for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds and fiduciary funds). It is mandated by G.S. 115C426. Capital projects are funded by Brunswick County appropriations, restricted sales tax monies, proceeds of Brunswick County bonds issued for the construction of public schools, as well as certain State assistance.

The Board reports the following major enterprise fund: Child Nutrition Fund -The Child Nutrition Fund is used to account for the Board's food service program within the school system. It is the intent of the Board that the costs (including depreciation) of providing food services to the individual schools be partially recovered by user charges.The Board reports the following fiduciary fund: Private-Purpose Trust Funds -The Private-Purpose Trust Fund (Williamson

& Gause Scholarship Fund) was created by gifts. By terms of the agreements some of the corpus may not be spent.Income and certain contributions may be expended through scholarship grants and other awards.These funds are maintained separate from other funds of the Board and are subject to the terms of the trust agreements.

It is accounted for in essentially the same manner as a proprietary fund.C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Government-wide, Proprietary and Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements.

The government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources---. -measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.

Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Non-exchange transactions, in which the Board gives (or receives) value without 30--

BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include grants and donations.

Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.

Governmental Fund Financial Statements.

Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available.

The Board considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end.

These could include federal, State and county grants, and some charges for services.

Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for claims and judgments and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.Under the terms of grant agreements, the Board funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants and general revenues.

Thus when program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the Board's policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs and then general revenues.All governmental and business-type activities and enterprise funds of the Board follow FASB Statements and Interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989, Accounting Principles, Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins, unless those pronouncements conflict with GASB pronouncements.

D. Budgetary Data The Board's budgets are adopted as required by the North Carolina General Statutes.

Annual budgets are adopted for all funds, except for the individual school special revenue funds, as required by the North Carolina General Statutes.'

No budget is required by State law for individual school funds. All appropriations lapse at the fiscal year-end.

All budgets are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting except for the Enterprise Fund, which uses the accrual basis of accounting.

Budgetary control is exercised in all funds. Expenditures or expenses may not legally exceed appropriations at the functional level for all annually budgeted funds. A budget comparison statement is presented for the General Fund and the State Public School Special Revenue Fund, which includes a comparison of original budget, final budget and actual data.The Board has authorized the Superintendent to transfer appropriations within a fund under the following conditions:

With respect to General, Capital Outlay, Child Nutrition and Private-Purpose Trust Fund the Superintendent may transfer amounts between Program, Purpose and Object codes of the respective funds. With respect to the State Public School Fund and the Federal Grants Fund, the Superintendent may transfer amounts within Program, Purpose and Object codes of the respective funds.31 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

As specified in G.S. 115C-433, the Board of Education retains the authority to approve all amendments which would increase the total of any fund. The governing board must approve all amendments.

During the year, several immaterial amendments to the original budget were necessary.

Amendments that alter the County appropriation or transfer moneys to or from the capital outlay fund also require the approval of the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners.

A budget calendar is included in G.S. 115C, Article 31 and prescribes the last day on which certain steps of the budget procedure are to be performed.

The following schedule lists the tasks to be performed and the date each is required to be completed.

May 1 -The Superintendent must submit the budget request along with a copy of the budget message to the Board of Education not later than May 1.May 15 -The Board of Education should make changes, if necessary, to the budget request as submitted by the Superintendent and forward an approved budget request to the Board of County Commissioners not later than May 15, unless the County Commissioners have established a later date.July 1 -The Board of County Commissioners must complete its actions on the school budget not later than July 1, unless a later date is agreed upon between the Board of Education and the County Commissioners.

Month of July -The Board of Education must adopt its balanced budget resolution after the Board of County Commissioners has decided upon the amount of appropriations to be provided by the County or after the appeal procedures as set forth in G.S. 115C-431.E. Assets, Liabilities and Fund Equity 1. Deposits and Investments All deposits of the Board are made in board-designated official depositories and are secured as required by G.S. 115C-444.

The Board may designate, as an official depository, any bank or savings association whose principal office is located in North Carolina.

Also, the Board may establish time deposit accounts such as NOW and SuperNOW accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. The Board also has money credited in its name with the State Treasurer and may issue State warrants against these funds.State Law G. S. 115C-443 authorizes the Board to invest in obligations of the United States or obligations fully guaranteed both as to principal and interest by the United States;obligations of the State of North Carolina; bonds and notes of any North Carolina local government or public authority; obligations of certain non-guaranteed federal agencies;certain high quality issues of commercial paper and bankers' acceptances; the North Carolina Capital Management Trust (NCCMT), an SEC registered (2a-7) money market mutual fund and the North Carolina State Treasurer's Short Term Investment Fund (STIF). The STIF consists of an internal portion and an external portion in which the Board participates.

Investments are restricted to those enumerated in G.S. 147-69.1.32 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Board's investments with maturity of more than one year at acquisition and non-money market investments are reported at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. .The NCCMT Cash Portfolio's securities are valued at fair value, which is the NCCMT's share price. The STIF securities are reported at cost and maintain a constant $1 per share value.Under the authority of G.S. 147-69.3, no unrealized gains or losses of the STIF are distributed to external participants of the fund. Money market investments that have a remaining maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less are reported at amortized cost.Non-participating interest earning investment contracts are reported at cost.2. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Board pools money from several funds to facilitate disbursement and investment and to maximize investment income. Therefore, all cash and investments are essentially demand deposits and are considered cash and cash equivalents.

3. Inventories The inventories of the Board are valued at cost and the Board uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) flow assumption in determining cost. The inventories of the Board's General Fund consist of expendable materials and supplies, which are recorded as expenditures when purchased.

The General Fund inventories do not reflect current appropriable resources and, thus, an equivalent portion of fund balance is reserved.Proprietary Fund inventories are valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and consist of food and supplies and are recorded as expenses when consumed.

Also included in the inventory figures and deferred revenue are unused commodity inventories donated by the federal government.

4. Capital Assets The Board's capital assets are recorded at original cost. Donated assets are listed at their estimated fair value at the date of donation or forfeiture.

Certain items acquired before July 1, 1988 are recorded at an estimated original historical cost. The total of such estimates are not considered large enough that errors would be material when the capital assets are considered as a whole. Items that are purchased and used in large quantities, such as student desks, chairs and library books, are not capitalized.

The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.

Brunswick County holds title to certain properties, which are reflected as capital assets in the financial statements of the Board. The properties have been deeded to the County to permit installment purchase financing of acquisition and construction costs. Agreements between the County and the Board gives the schools full use of the facilities, full responsibility for maintenance of the facilities and provides that the County will convey title of the property back to the Board once all restrictions of the financing agreement requirements have been met.33 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:-Item Land Land Improvements

$Buildings Building Improvements Mobile Classrooms Furniture Vehicles (excluding buses)Buses Equipment (non-computer)

Cafeteria Equipment Computer Equipment and Software $Capitalization Level All land and easements regardless of cash value 10,000 20,000 20,000 20,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 Years N/A 20 50 20 20 10 6 10 5 12 3 Depreciation for properties serves multiple purposes and cannot be allocated ratably.Therefore, it is reported as *depreciation on the statement of activities.

5. Long-term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities.
6. Compensated Absences The Board follows the State's policy for vacation and sick leave. Employees may accumulate up to thirty (30) days earned vacation leave and such leave is fully vested when earned. The Board's liability for accumulated earned vacation and the salary-related payments as of June 30, 2004 are recorded in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements.

The current portion was estimated based on leave used during the current year.Employees can accumulate an unlimited amount of sick leave. Sick leave does not vest, but unused sick leave accumulated at the time of retirement may be used in the determination of length of service for retirement benefit purposes.

Since the Board has no obligation for the accumulated sick leave until it is actually taken, no accrual for sick leave has been made.7. Net AssetslFund Balances Net assets in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are classified as invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted; and unrestricted.

Restricted net assets represent constraints on resources that-are either externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments, or imposed by law through state statute.In the governmental fund financial statements, reservations or restrictions of fund balance represent amounts that are not appropriable, are legally segregated for a specific purpose or are restricted by the grant agreement.

Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.34 off,-I too, 00,11, low Ow000 vital Ofs, age 06M U*=0&= 0=0.01 asks corn It=fl!=&t=is=as 4P 4P Vr IPS W 0 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA 3 a NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1.

G. S. 115C425(a) restricts appropriation of fund balance or fund equity to an amount not to exceed the sum of cash and investments minus the sum of liabilities, encumbrances and deferred revenues arising from cash receipts, as those amounts stand at the close of the fiscal year preceding the budget year.The governmental fund types classify fund balances as follows: Reserved: Reserved for inventories

-portion of fund balance not available for appropriation because it represents the year-end fund balance of ending inventories, which are not expendable, available resources.

Reserved by State statute -portion of fund balance that is not available for appropriation under State law. This amount is usually comprised of accounts receivable and interfund receivables that are not offset by deferred revenues.Unreserved:

Designated for subsequent year's expenditures

-portion of total fund balance available for appropriation, which has been designated, for the adopted 2004-2005 budget ordinance.

Undesignated

-portion of total fund balance available for appropriation, which is uncommitted at year-end.8. Reconciliation of Govemment-wide and Fund Financial Statements

However, the State Treasurer of North Carolina enforces strict standards of financial stability for each depository that collateralizes public deposits under the Pooling Method.At June 30, 2004, the Board had deposits with banks and savings and loans with a carrying amount of $5,535,984 and with the State Treasurer of $92,463. The bank balances with the financial institutions and the State Treasurer were $6,215,287 and $600,696 respectively.

Of these balances, $100,000 was covered by federal depository insurance and $6,715,983 was covered by collateral held by authorized escrow agents in the name of the State Treasurer.

Brunswick County Board of Education has entered into an agreement to purchase 9 buses in this manner. The term of the financing cannot exceed three years and the Board must purchase the buses from vendors approved by the Department of Public Instruction.

The Department of Public Instruction will make the payments to the lender on behalf of the Brunswick County Board of Education out of funds allocated to the Brunswick County Board of Education.

Because future resources will be used to fund the payments under the installment agreement, no encumbrance of fund balance at June 30, 2004, has been recorded.The payments due in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 are as follows: Total purchase price, 9 buses $ 578,628 Total payments due in 04-05 $ 192,876 Remaining payments in subsequent years 5 385,752 B. Liabilities V 1. Pension Plan Obligations

a. Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement SVstem Plan Description.

Brunswick County Board of Education contributes to the statewide Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System (TSERS), a cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of North Carolina.

TSERS provides retirement (including health care), death and disability benefits to plan members and beneficiaries.

Article 1 of G.S. Chapter 135 assigns the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the North Carolina General Assembly.

The Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System is included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the State of North Carolina.

The State's CAFR includes financial statements and required supplementary information

  • 40 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA C NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2. Detail Notes on All Funds (Continued)
  • for TSERS.. That report may be obtained by writing to the Office of the State Controller, 1410 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1410, or by calling (919) 981-5454.* Funding Policy. Plan members are required by State statute to contribute six percent of their annual covered salary to the System and the Board is required to contribute at* an actuarially determined rate. The rate for 2004 was 3.42% of annual covered payroll* for all pension and post-employment benefits.

The contribution requirements of plan members and Brunswick County Board of Education are established and may be amended by the North Carolina General Assembly.

The Board's contributions to* TSERS for all benefits for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were* $1,763,454, $1,474,203 and $2,071,931 respectively, equal to the required contributions for each year.* b. Post-employment Benefits AIn addition to providing pension benefits, the Board provides disability benefits and* post-retirement health care benefits and death benefits, in accordance with State Am statutes, to certain employees.

These benefits are provided through multiple-employer cost-sharing plans administered by the State. The Board makes monthly contributions to the State for these benefits.

Health care benefits are available to* retirees of the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System (System) who A have at least five years of contributing membership in the System. If a retiree was hired prior to October 1, 1995, and retires with at least 5 years of service, the System 36 pays the full cost of coverage for all retirees enrolled in the State's self-funded

  • Teachers' and State Employees' Comprehensive Major Medical Plan. In addition, persons who became surviving spouses of retirees prior to October 1, 1986, receive the same coverage as retirees at the State's expense. If a retiree was hired on or 4 after October 1, 1995, and retires with at least 5 years of service, health care 4b coverage is available to the retiree if he or she pays the full premium for coverage.

If the retiree has at least 10 years of service but less than 20, coverage is available if the retiree contributes 50% of the premium cost. If the retiree has 20 or more years of 4 service, coverage is provided at no cost if the retiree chooses the State Employees' Comprehensive Major Medical Plan. The health benefit plans are funded by the State on a pay-as-you-go basis.s Death benefits are provided through the Benefit Plan for members of the Teachers'so and State Employees' Retirement System (Death Benefit Plan), a multiple-employer State-administered cost-sharing plan funded on a one-year term cost basis.so Employees who die in active service after one year of contributing membership 4 service in the System, or who die within 180 days after retirement or termination of service and have at least one year of contributing membership service in the System at the time of death are eligible for death benefits.

Lump sum death benefit payments 4 to beneficiaries are equal to the employee's highest 12 months salary in a row during the 24 months prior to his/her death, not to exceed $20,000. Effective July 1, 2004, the death benefit will be at least $25,000 and no more than $50,000.*4 7, .4 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2. Detail Notes on All Funds (Continued)

Short-term and long-term disability benefits are provided through the Disability Income Plan of North Carolina (Disability Income Plan), a multi-employer State-administered cost-sharing plan, which also is funded on a one-year term cost basis. Long-term disability benefits are payable from the Disability Income Plan after the conclusion of the short-term disability period or after salary continuation payments cease, whichever is later, for as long as an employee is disabled.

An employee is eligible to receive long-term disability benefits if the following requirements are met: 1) the employee has five years of contributing membership service in the System earned within 96 months prior to the end of the short-term disability period; 2) the employee must make application to receive long-term benefits within 180 days after the conclusion of the short-term disability period or after salary continuation payments cease, whichever is later, 3) the employee must be certified by the Medical Board to be mentally and physically disabled for the further performance of his/her usual occupation;

4) the disability must have been continuous, likely to be permanent, and incurred at the time of active employment; and 5) the employee must not be eligible to receive an unreduced retirement benefit from the System. In addition, recipients of long-term disability benefits are eligible to receive State-paid health insurance coverage.

The monthly long-term disability benefit is equal to 65 percent of one-twelfth of an employee's annual base rate of compensation reduced by any social security or workers' compensation to which the recipient may be entitled up to a maximum of$3,900 per month, plus additional minor adjustments.

When an employee qualifies for an unreduced service retirement allowance from the System, the benefits payable from the Disability Income Plan will cease, and the employee will commence retirement under the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System.All short-term disability benefit payments are made by various State-administered plans. The Board has no liability beyond payment of monthly contributions except for short-term disability benefits, which are paid by the Board during the first six months of the short-term period. Contributions are determined as a percentage of covered monthly payrolls.

Annually, the State sets monthly contribution rates for post-retirement health care benefits, death benefits and disability benefits, which are the same for all boards of education across the State. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Board made contributions to the State for post-employment health care benefits of $1,650,015; this contribution represented 3.20% of covered payroll. No contributions were required or made for death and disability benefits.

The contributions for post-retirement health care cannot be separated between the post-retirement benefit amounts and the other employee benefit amounts. Because the benefit payments are made by the various State-administered plans and not by the Board, the Board does not determine the number of eligible participants.

The Board also participates in the Teachers' and State Employees' Comprehensive Major Medical Plan, a self-funded risk financing pool of the State administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.

Through the Plan, permanent full-time employees of the Board are eligible to receive health care benefits up to a $5 million lifetime limit. In addition, employees had the option of receiving health care benefits through one of the health maintenance organizations (HMOs) offering coverage to teachers and State employees.

Effective October 1, 2001, HMOs were no longer offered to Board employees.

The Board pays the full cost of coverage for employees enrolled in the Comprehensive Major Medical Plan.The Board carries commercial coverage for all other risks of loss. There have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage in the prior year and claims have not exceeded coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.5. Long-Term Obligations

a. Capital Leases As authorized in State law G.S. 115C-528(a), the Board entered into various lease agreements to lease modular units. The leasing arrangements were made for three years, and, at the conclusion of each of the leases, ownership is transferred to the Board. The lease agreements qualify as capital leases for accounting purposes; therefore, the obligations have been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments as of the date of their inception.

At June 30, 2004, assets recorded under the capital lease were as follows: Accumulated Net Book Classes of Property Cost Depreciation Value Modular units $ 91,497 $ 4,168 $ 87,329 The following is a schedule of the future minimum lease payments and the net present value of the minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2004: Year Ending June 30 Governmental Activities 2005 $ 32,931 2006 12,612 2007 1,051 Total minimum lease payments 46,594 Less: amount representing interest 2,432 Present value of the minimum lease payments $ 44,162 44 BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2.

Summary Disclosure of Significant Commitments and Contingencies A. Federal and State Assisted Programs The Board has received proceeds from several federal and State grants. Periodic audits of these grants are required and certain costs may be questioned as not being appropriate expenditures under the grant agreements.

Such audits could result in the refund of grant moneys to the grantor agencies.

Management believes that any required refunds will be immaterial.

No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for the refund of grant moneys.B. Litigation At June 30, 2004, the Board was involved in various items of pending or threatened litigation.

The estimated costs of settlement are not considered material.45 E BRUNSWICK COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 4. Summary Disclosure of Significant Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

C. Fines, Forfeitures and Supplemental School Tax In the case of Francine Delaney New School for Children, Inc. v. Asheville Board of Education, the State Supreme Court ruled that the trial court had not erred in its summary judgment for the plaintiff (Delaney) which, as a charter school, sought additional funding from the school board in the form of an equal per pupil share from the board's supplemental school tax and penal fines and forfeitures revenues.

Subsequently, the General Assembly, in the 2002 Technical Corrections bill (SB 1217), section 91.1, determined that payments would not begin until July 1, 2003, and that no retroactive payments would be made prior to that date. Therefore, beginning with the fiscal year 2003-2004, the Brunswick County Board of Education must distribute any supplemental school tax revenue and fines and forfeitures revenue on an equal per-pupil basis to any charter school that has a student or students registered that are residents of that county.Based on the following data, the Board has estimated its additional liability for next year to be$39.06 per student enrolled in a charter school. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, there were 203 residents of Brunswick County enrolled in various charter schools in the State.Total fines and forfeitures revenue 2003-2004

Pullen Certified Public Accountants Independent Auditor's Report On Intemal Control Over Financial Reporting And On Compliance And Other Matters Based On An Audit Of Financial Statements Performed In Accordance With Government Auditing Standards To the Members of the Brunswick County Board of Education Bolivia, North Carolina We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Brunswick County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 2004, which collectively comprise Brunswick County Board of Education's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated September 14, 2004. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered Brunswick County Board of Education's 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 to provide an opinion 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 that might be material weaknesses.

A material weakness is a reportable 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 caused by error or fraud 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.

We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Brunswick County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement 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 or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
