9 Co H N Pi) RE Z N I C K ACCOUNTING TAX ADVISORY CohnReznick LLP cohnreznick.com Independent Auditor's Report Town Council Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents Management's Responsibility for 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. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 auditor's 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 entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity's 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 opinions. 3

10 Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the, as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the general fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and the schedules of Funding Progress and Employer Contributions - Ledyard Retirement System and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plan on pages 6-15 and pages 59 and 60, respectively, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the 's basic financial statements. The introductory section, supplemental schedules and the trend information section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of Federal awards, as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance, as required by the State Single Audit Act, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are also not a required part of the basic financial statements. 4

11 The supplemental schedules, the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards and the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such 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 supplemental schedules, the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards and the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and trend information sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June xx, 2014, on our consideration of the 's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance with the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the 's internal control over financial reporting and compliance, New London, Connecticut June 19,

12 Town of Ledyard Connecticut 741 Colonel Ledyard Highway Ledyard, CT Tel: (860) Fax: (860) Management's Discussion and Analysis For The Year Ended June 30,2013 As management of the Town of Ledyard, we offer readers of the Town of Ledyard's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Town for the fiscal year ended June 30, Financial Highlights The assets of the Town exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $68,055,167 (net position). Of this amount, $47,289,291 was attributable to governmental activities and $20,765,876 to business-type activities. The Town's total net position decreased by $701,761. This was primarily due to net changes in the governmental funds. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $4,288,371, a decrease of $817,351 in comparison with the prior year. The decrease is due to the expenditure of short-term borrowing proceeds prior to securing permanent financing. At the end of the fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $4,082,361 or 8.3%> of total general fund expenditures and transfers out (budgetary basis). Overview of the Basic Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town of Ledyard's basic financial statements. The Town of Ledyard's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the Town's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is improving or deteriorating. 6

13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The statement of activities presents information showing how the Town's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town of Ledyard that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the Town include general government, public safety, health and welfare, public works, library, parks and recreation and education. The business-type activities of the Town are for water operations and sewer operations. The government-wide financial statements can be found on Exhibits A and B. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town of Ledyard uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the Town's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Town maintains 13 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the three funds considered to be major funds. Data from the other 10 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in Schedules 4 and 5. Major Governmental Funds Nonmajor Governmental Funds General Capital Projects Town Aid Road Fund Library Commission Animal Control Cafeteria Education Grants Sawmill Restoration Miscellaneous State Grants Housing Rehab Program Coastal Management Parks and Recreation Endowment Fund The Town adopts an annual budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on Exhibits C, D and F. 7

14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Proprietary funds. The Town of Ledyard maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the governmentwide financial statements. The Town uses an enterprise fund to account for its water operations and its sewer operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the Town's various functions. The Town uses an internal service fund to account for its medical benefits. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statement provides information for the water operations and for the sewer operations, which are considered to be major funds of the Town. The internal service fund financial statement provides information for the Town's medical plan benefits. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on Exhibits G, H and I. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the Town. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on Exhibits J and K. Notes to financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on Exhibit L. Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the Town of Ledyard's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other post employment benefits to its employees. The combining statements and supplemental schedules referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pension and other post employment benefits. Government-Wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. For the Town of Ledyard, assets exceeded liabilities by $68,055,167 at the close of the fiscal year. 8

15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) T own of Ledyard Summary Statement of Net Position June 30, 2013 and 2012 Governmental Business-Type Activities Activities Totals Current and other assets $ 10,745,966 $ 12,567,098 $ 3,704,924 $ 3,955,835 $ 14,450,890 $ 16,522,933 Capital assets (net) Total assets Deferred outflows of resources Long-term liabilities outstanding 19,377,401 15,405,367 4,011,687 4,812,243 23,389,088 20,217,610 Other liabilities } Total liabilities Net position: Net investment in capital assets 43,235,275 44,232,219 17,645,971 17,328,873 60,881,246 61,561,092 Restricted for specific purpose 273, , , ,177 Unrestricted 3} Total net position ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The largest portion of the Town's net position, $60,881,246, reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, infrastructure) less any related debt and related liabilities used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Town's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the Town's net position $273,482 (0.4%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position, $4,784,722, may be used to meet the Town's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Governmental activities. Already noted was the statement of activities' purpose in presenting information on how the Town's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. A summary of changes in net position follows. For the fiscal year, net position decreased $818,209. The decrease was due to the use of bond anticipation note proceeds for project funding as those proceeds are not recognized in the statement of activities until such time they become permanent. The reader should remember that the basis of accounting used in the government-wide statement of activities excludes capital expenditures, while its revenues include general taxes whose primary purpose is for the construction of those very assets or their related debt service. 9

Property tax revenues increased $303,749 due to an increase in the tax levy and an increase in suspense collections. Gain on sale of assets decreased $608,756 due to the sale of town owned lot in the prior year. 10

17 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Governmental Activities (Continued) Revenues Governmental activities revenues totaled $56,436,289 for the fiscal year. Property taxes are the largest revenue source for the Town and represent 54.1 % of governmental revenues. Operating grants and contributions revenues are the Town's second largest revenue. Operating grants and contributions revenues include grants for the school lunch program, education, law enforcement and public works. Operating grants and contributions revenues account for 33.6% of governmental revenues for the year. Charges for services, the third largest revenue, amount to 7.6% of governmental revenues. Charges for services include the school lunch program, adult education, nurses, vocational agriculture and other tuition and park and recreation programs. Grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs account for 3.1 % and include elderly tax relief and Mashantucket/Mohegan grant in lieu of tax contributions. Capital grants and contributions amount to 1.3% of revenue and are made up of mostly school building grants, public works grants and LOCIP grant. Investment income represents less than 0.1 % of governmental revenue. Miscellaneous revenues account for the remaining governmental revenues and amount to 0.2% of governmental revenues. Expenses Significant changes from the prior year are as follows: Public safety expenses increased by $238,959 due to police outside overtime and related benefits. Education expenses increased $280,873 due to increased healthcare costs and contractual obligations. Governmental activities expenses totaled $56,629,249 for the fiscal year. Of the expenditures, 72.1 % or $40,823,987 was for education. Public safety expenses amounted to $4,594,102, or 8.1 %, while public works amounted to $4,380,592 or 7.7%. Library expenses were $796,715 or 1.4%. Park and recreation expenses were $716,999 or 1.2%. Interest expense was $541,918 or 1.0%. General government expenses were $2,923,002, or 5.2%, and health and welfare expenses were $1,851,934 or 3.3%. Business-Type Activities Revenues General revenues do not support the Town's business-type activities; thus, the largest source of revenues comes from charges for services, assessments and transfers from the general fund. Of the $1,389,427 in revenue from the Water department and Sewer department, 99.8% comes from charges for services and assessments. Investment income makes up the final 0.2% of revenues for the Town's business activities. Significant changes from the prior year were as follows: Charges for services decreased $807,157 due to new water assessments added during the prior year. Investment income remained level. Expenses Business-type expenses totaled $1,263,218 and $635,010 for the Water and Sewer departments, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30,

18 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Financial Analysis of the Town's Funds As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on nearterm inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The combined fund balances of governmental funds at June 30, 2013 was $4,288,371, a decrease of $817,351 in comparison with the prior year. This was due to the expenditure of short-term borrowing proceeds prior to securing permanent financing. General Fund The general fund is the operating fund of the Town. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $4,082,361. Current tax collections were 98.5% of the adjusted tax levy. The fund balance of the general fund increased by $320,190 during the fiscal year primarily due to greater than projected revenues and less than budgeted expenditures. Capital Projects Fund The capital projects fund's expenditures and other financing uses exceeded revenues and other financing sources by $2,964,660 for the fiscal year. This is due to the expenditure of short-term borrowing proceeds prior to securing permanent financing. Town Aid Road Fund The town aid road fund's revenues and other financing sources exceeded expenditures by $1,809,204 for the fiscal year. This is due to the issuance of $3,500,000 of permanent financing in the current year. Proprietary funds. The Town's proprietary funds provide the same information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The Town's enterprise fund posted an overall increase in net position of $116,448 for the fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase usage fees. The Town's self-insured medical benefits fund recorded a decrease in net position for the year of $1,097,778. This was due to a planned decrease in the general fund contribution and an increase in medical claims. Water Fund Unrestricted net position of the water fund at the end of the year amounted to $1,168,104. Sewer Fund Unrestricted net position of the sewer fund at the end of the year amounted to $1,951,

19 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Financial Analysis of the Town's Funds (Continued) Self-Insured Medical Benefits Internal Service Fund Unrestricted net position of the self-insured medical benefits fund at the end of the year amounted to $586,991. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the Town's business-type activities. General Fund Budgetary Highlights A detailed budgetary comparison schedule for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 can be found on Exhibit F. A summary of that schedule follows: Original Budget Final Actual Variance with Final Budget Revenues & Other Financing Sources Taxes All other revenues Appropriation of fund balance Transfers in $30,724,093 17,780, , ,056 $30,724,093 17,780, , ,056 $30,453,940 18,595, ,980 $ (270,153) 814,601 (469,614) 70,924 Total 49,169,552 49,389,166 49,534, ,758 Expenditures & Other Financing Uses Expenditures Transfers out 47,375,676 1,793,876 47,595,290 1,793,876 47,420,858 1,793, ,432 Total 49,169,552 49,389,166 49,214, ,432 Change in Fund Balance $ $ $ $ During the year, there were additional appropriations of $219,614 from fund balance.

20 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Capital Assets and Debt Administration At June 30, 2013, the Town of Ledyard's investment in capital assets in both governmental and business-type activities amounted to $85,044,125, net of depreciation. This includes land, buildings, equipment, distribution and collection system and infrastructure. Capital assets for governmental activities increased by 8.7% (net), while business-type capital assets decreased 2.1 % (net). These changes included the following: Construction in progress increased $3,613,529 for governmental-type activities. Distribution and collection system decreased $440,101 for business-type activities. The increase in the governmentaltype activities was due to work on the Aljen Heights water project and the decrease in the business-type activities was due substantially to depreciation expense far exceeding new acquisitions.

State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 2 % to 4 % times total tax collections including interest and lien fees and the tax relief for the elderly freeze grant. The current debt limitation for the Town is $212,581,523, which is significantly in excess of the Town's outstanding general obligation debt. Additional information on the Town's long-term debt can be found in Exhibit L (III) F. Next Year's Budget and Rates The Town elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the fiscal year budget. The Town decided that it was important to continue the support of the schools and adopt a budget designed to promote long-term fiscal stability. In order to meet the objectives of the budget, the Town recognized the need to continue its pattern of cost containment. The general fund budget will be $50,136,531, an increase of 1.9% over the prior year amended budget. Downward pressures on the estimated revenue, especially in the area of grants from the state, reduced non-tax revenues.

29 Town of ledyard, Connecticut Exhibit E (1 of 2) Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to Statement of Activities Year Ended June 30, 2013 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities (Exhibit 8) are due to: Net change in fund balances - Total governmental funds (Exhibit D) Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period: Total Capital outlay Depreciation expense The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i. e., sales, trade-ins and donations) is to increase net position. In the statement of activities, only the loss on the sale of capital assets is reported. However, in the governmental funds, the proceeds from the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of the capital assets sold: Total Capital asset disposals Capital asset donations Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds and revenues recognized in the fund financial statements are not recognized in the statement of activities: Total School building grant receipts Change in property tax and loans receivable - accrual basis change Change in property tax interest and lien revenue The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. The details of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items are as follows: $ (817,351 ) 6,230,747 (1,485,011 ) 4,745,736 (30,406) 278, ,977 (45,103) 118,961 35, ,335 Total Debt issued or incurred: General obligation bonds Principal repayments: General obligation bonds (4,705,000) 1,109,002 (3,595,998) (Continued) 22

37 Town of ledyard, Connecticut Exhibit L Notes to Financial Statements History and Organization The Town of Ledyard was incorporated in 1836 and covers an area of 40.5 square miles. The Town operates under the provisions of its Charter and General Statutes of the State of Connecticut. The Mayor, who is the chief executive officer, is directly responsible for the administration of all departments, agencies, and offices. The Town provides the following services: general government, public safety, public works, parks and recreation, library, health and human services, water pollution control and education. The legislative power of the Town is vested in the Town Council, which consists of nine members, unless otherwise provided by the Charter. The Department of Finance, under the supervision of the Director of Finance (appointed by the Mayor), is responsible for keeping accounts and financial records, the assessment and collection of taxes, the collection of special assessments and other revenues, the custody and disbursement of Town funds, the control over expenditures and such other powers and duties as may be required by ordinance or resolution of the Town Council. The Town Treasurer, appointed by the Town Council, has all power and duties conferred or imposed by law. The Town has the power to incur indebtedness by issuing bonds and notes as provided by the Connecticut General Statutes. I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Agency funds do not have a measurement focus but are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting. 30

38 Town of ledyard, Connecticut Exhibit l Notes to Financial Statements Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Town considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, expenditure reimbursement type grants, certain intergovernmental revenues, transfers, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the Town. The Town reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the Town's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Capital Projects Fund accounts for the financial revenues to be used for major capital asset construction and/or purchases. The Town Aid Road Fund is used to account for the general maintenance of the Town's roads. The Town reports the following major proprietary funds: The Water Fund accounts for the activities of the Town's water operations. The Sewer Fund accounts for the activities of the Town's sewer operations. Additionally, the Town reports the following fund types: The Internal Service Fund is used to account for self-insured health benefits for Town employees. The Pension Trust Fund accounts for the activities of the Ledyard Retirement System, which accumulates resources for pension benefit payments to qualified employees. The Private-Purpose Trust Funds are used to account for resources restricted for various scholarships. All resources of the fund, including any earnings on invested resources, may not be used to support the Town's activities. There is no requirement that any portion of these resources be preserved as capital. 31

39 Exhibit L Notes to Financial Statements The Agency Funds account for monies held on behalf of students and amounts held for performance bonds. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the governmentwide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the Town's water and sewer funds and various other functions of the Town. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as genera/ revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the water and sewer enterprise funds and of the Town's internal service fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise fund and the internal service fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. C. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position or Equity 1. Deposits and Investments Deposits - The Town's cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments - In general, State of Connecticut Statutes allow the Town to invest in obligations of the United States of America or United States government sponsored corporations, in shares or other interests in any custodial arrangement, pool, or no-load, open-end management type investment company or investment trust (as defined), in obligations of any state or political subdivision rated within the top two rating categories of any nationally recognized rating service, or in obligations of the State of Connecticut or political subdivision rated within the top three rating categories of any nationally recognized rating service. For the capital nonrecurring fund, not more than 31 %) can be invested in equity securities. Investment income is recorded in the fund in which it was earned. 32

40 Exhibit L Notes to Financial Statements Allowable investments under the pension fund's investment policy include separately managed accounts and/or mutual funds or co-mingled funds, including marketable and non-marketable alternatives and exchange traded funds. Professional money managers are employed for security selection, diversification, turnover and allocation of holdings among selected securities and industry groups, and particularly detailed in the Investment Policy Statement of each of the Plan's separately managed accounts or in the prospectus/offering memorandum for each mutual fund or co-mingled fund or exchange traded fund in the portfolio. No securities are purchased or carried on margin. The Pension Board is the trustee of the pension plans and is responsible for overall investment policy. Any change in investment manager or individual security purchase must have their approval. Investments for the Town are reported at fair value. State Treasurers Investment Fund is an investment pool managed by the State of Connecticut Office of the State Treasurer. Investments must be made in instruments authorized by Connecticut General Statutes 3-27c e. Investment guidelines are adopted by the State Treasurer. The fair value of the position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. The balance of the fixed income investments was invested in a 2a-7 like pool which operates under State Statutes. The fair value of the position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. 2. Receivables and Payables a. Interfunds Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances." b. Property Taxes and Other Receivables In the government-wide financial statements, all trade, property tax and water and sewer use are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Allowance percentages range from 2% to 25% of outstanding receivable balances, and are calculated upon prior collection history. In the fund financial statements, all property taxes receivable at June 30, which have not been collected within sixty days of June 30, have been recorded as deferred inflows of resources, since they are not considered to be available to finance expenditures of the current year. Taxes collected during the sixty day period have been recorded as revenue. The entire balance is recorded as revenue in the governmentwide financial statements. 33
