10 December 17, 2012 Citizens and Governing Board Sunnyside Unified School District No East Ginter Road Tucson, Arizona State law mandates that school districts required to undergo an annual single audit publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by a certified public accounting firm licensed in the State of Arizona. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12 (District) for the fiscal year ended June 30, This report consists of management s representations concerning the finances of the District. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the District has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the District s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the District s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the District s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The District s financial statements have been audited by Heinfeld, Meech & Co., P.C., a certified public accounting firm. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the District s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditors report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report East Ginter Road, Tucson, Arizona 85706,

11 The independent audit of the financial statements of the District was part of a broader, federally mandated Single Audit as required by the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the District s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in a separately issued Single Audit Reporting Package. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The District s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT The Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12 is one of 18 public school districts located in Pima County, Arizona. It provides a program of public education from pre-school through grade 12, with an average daily membership of 16,683. The District s Governing Board is organized under Section of the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.). Management of the District is independent of other state or local governments. The County Treasurer collects taxes for the District, but exercises no control over its expenditures/expenses. The membership of the Governing Board consists of five members elected by the public. Under existing statutes, the Governing Board s duties and powers include, but are not limited to, the acquisition, maintenance and disposition of school property; the development and adoption of a school program; and the establishment, organization and operation of schools. The Board also has broad financial responsibilities, including the approval of the annual budget, and the establishment of a system of accounting and budgetary controls. The financial reporting entity consists of a primary government and its component units. A component unit is a legally separate entity that must be included in the reporting entity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The District is a primary government because it is a special-purpose government that has a separately elected governing body, is legally separate, and is fiscally independent of other state or local governments. Furthermore, there are no component units combined with the District for financial statement presentation purposes, and the District is not included in any other governmental reporting entity. The District s major operations include education, student transportation, construction and maintenance of District facilities, food services, bookstore and athletic functions. ii

12 The District is located in the southeastern portion of the greater metropolitan Tucson area. The economy of the District is primarily based on industry and is supplemented by tourism and government. A significant amount of the industrial development that has been occurring in Tucson is located within the District and will continue to occur because of the Tucson International Airport, which is located within the District s boundaries. Major planning and rezoning is being considered to allow for the development of a state of the art, technology oriented employment campus serving as a gateway to Tucson International Airport. During the school year, the District experienced a 10.7 percent decrease in its secondary assessed valuation. The annual expenditure budget serves as the foundation for the District s financial planning and control. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual expenditure budget approved by the District s Governing Board. The expenditure budget is prepared by fund for all Governmental Funds, and includes function and object code detail for the General Fund and some Special Revenue and Capital Projects Funds. The legal level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the individual fund level for all funds. Funds that are not required to legally adopt a budget may have overexpenditures of budgeted funds. The budget for these funds is simply an estimate and does not prevent the District from exceeding the budget as long as the necessary revenue is earned. The District is not required to prepare an annual budget of revenue; therefore, a deficit budgeted fund balance may be presented. However, this does not affect the District s ability to expend monies. FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the District operates. Local Economy. The economy of the District is primarily based on manufacturing and is supplemented by tourism and government services. With the District containing such major transportation facilities as the Tucson International Airport, two lines of the Union Pacific Railroad, and Interstates 10 and 19, several location benefits are provided to manufacturers and other business concerns. A sizable area in the northeastern section of the District, zoned for industrial purposes, is the location of the District s industrial activity and the site of six industrial parks. Raytheon Systems Co. (formerly Hughes Missile Systems) is located in the southern portion of the District, adjacent to the Tucson International Airport, and is one of the largest individual employers in the District, with approximately 10,500 employees. During the year, the District worked with the School Facilities Board on local residential developments and requested funding for the construction of new school facilities. The School Facilities Board reviewed the District s request and student enrollment projections and approved the construction of additional high school classrooms. Additional classrooms were added to Desert View High School and Sunnyside High School, which were completed in July iii

13 Long-term Financial Planning. The District continued implementation of its technology plan (classroom computers, printers, telephones, cabling, etc.). In November 2011, voters approved an 88.0 million bond referendum that will provide revenue for the following projects: million for District Technology Plan million for safety and security enhancements million for new buses million for athletic facilities improvements million for a new K-8 fine arts school million for District-wide remodeling and renovations The seven year, 15 percent maintenance and operations override election in May 2007 was not reauthorized in November This resulted in the District losing one-third of its override (2.65 million) for fiscal year The District continued the utilities reduction program during the previous fiscal year. During fiscal year , the District continued to monitor electrical, gas, water, and communications expenses for implementation of energy savings. The District has moved forward with capital improvement plans to budget future years unrestricted Capital Outlay to partially fund these projects along with submitting funding requests to the School Facilities Board for Building Renewal Funds. AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Awards. The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its report of a comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, In addition, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, In order to be awarded these certificates, the District published an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report satisfied both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and applicable legal requirements. The certificate is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report will continue to meet the programs requirements and we are submitting it to ASBO and GFOA to determine its eligibility for the fiscal year certificates. Acknowledgments. The preparation of the comprehensive annual financial report on a timely basis was made possible by the dedicated service of the entire staff of the business and finance department. Each member of the department has our sincere appreciation for the contributions made in the preparation of this report. iv

22 10120 N. Oracle Road Tucson, Arizona Tel (520) Fax (520) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT Governing Board Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12 We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12 (District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the District s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District s management. 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 contained 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information for the Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12, as of June 30, 2012, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 17, 2012, on our consideration of the Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12 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 and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

23 Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management s discussion and analysis on pages 5 through 14 and budgetary comparison information on pages 50 and 51 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. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District s financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information such as the introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical 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.

26 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 As management of the Sunnyside Unified School District No. 12 (District), we offer readers of the District s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The District s total net assets of governmental activities increased 3.8 million which represents a 3 percent increase from the prior fiscal year. General revenues accounted for 97.4 million in revenue, or 70 percent of all current fiscal year revenues. Program specific revenues in the form of charges for services and grants and contributions accounted for 40.9 million or 30 percent of total current fiscal year revenues. The District had approximately million in expenses related to governmental activities, an increase of 3 percent from the prior fiscal year. Among major funds, the General Fund had 86.4 million in current fiscal year revenues, which primarily consisted of state aid and property taxes, and 86.4 million in expenditures. The General Fund s fund balance decreased 75,504 to 17.6 million at the end of the current fiscal year. Page 5

27 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the District s basic financial statements. The District s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the 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 District s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The accrual basis of accounting is used for the government-wide financial statements. The statement of net assets presents information on all of the District s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the District s net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets 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 compensated absences). The government-wide financial statements outline functions of the District that are principally supported by property taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The governmental activities of the District include instruction, support services, operation and maintenance of plant services, student transportation services, operation of non-instructional services, and interest on long-term debt. 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 District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the District can be divided into two categories: governmental 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 use the modified accrual basis of accounting and focus on near-term inflows 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 the District s near-term financing requirements. Page 6

28 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Concl d) 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 District 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. 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 General, Debt Service, and Bond Building Funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements and schedules. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the District. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the District s own programs. Due to their custodial nature, fiduciary funds do not have a measurement focus. Notes to the 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 immediately following the basic financial statements. Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the District s budget process. The District adopts an annual expenditure budget for all governmental funds. A schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances budget and actual has been provided for the General Fund as required supplementary information. Page 7

29 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government s financial position. In the case of the District, assets exceeded liabilities by million at the current fiscal year end. The largest portion of the District s net assets reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land and improvements, buildings and improvements, vehicles, furniture and equipment and construction in progress), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital assets to provide services to its students; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District 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. In addition, a portion of the District s net assets are restricted for federal and state projects, food service, other local initiatives, debt service repayment, and capital outlay investment. The following table presents a summary of the District s net assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, As of As of June 30, 2012 June 30, 2011 Current and other assets 45,155,923 48,732,495 Capital assets, net 114,462, ,637,638 Total assets, net 159,618, ,370,133 Current liabilities 6,713,360 12,721,777 Long-term liabilities 34,523,926 23,038,126 Total liabilities 41,237,286 35,759,903 Net assets: Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 86,808,936 81,847,638 Restricted 10,896,978 11,529,406 Unrestricted 20,675,039 21,233,186 Total net assets 118,380, ,610,230 At the end of the current fiscal year the District reported positive balances in all three categories of net assets. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year. The District s financial position is the product of several financial transactions including the net result of activities, the acquisition and payment of debt, the acquisition and disposal of capital assets, and the depreciation of capital assets.

Federal and State governments and charges for services subsidized certain programs with grants and contributions and other local revenues of 40.9 million. Net cost of governmental activities of 93.6 million was financed by general revenues, which are made up of primarily property taxes of 29.1 million, state aid of 62.5 million, and county aid of 5.6 million. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT S FUNDS As noted earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the District s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the District s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the District s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The financial performance of the District as a whole is reflected in its governmental funds. As the District completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of 30.7 million, an increase of 2.8 million due primarily to unexpended bond proceeds in the Bond Building Fund from the issuance of 14.7 million in school improvement bonds to be used for the improvements of two high schools. Page 11

33 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT S FUNDS (Concl d) The General Fund comprises 57 percent of the total fund balance. Approximately 17.5 million, or 99 percent of the General Fund s fund balance constitutes unassigned fund balance. The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the District. The fund balance decreased 75,504 in the General Fund to 17.6 million as of fiscal year end. General Fund revenues decreased 3.0 million as a result of reductions in state equalization assistance. General Fund expenditures decreased 2.0 million. The Debt Service Fund s fund balance decreased 366,863 to 2.0 million as of the fiscal year end. Debt Service Fund revenues decreased 687,578 as a result of decreased property taxes. The Bond Building Fund s fund balance increased 3.7 million at fiscal year end due to unexpended bond proceeds from the issuance of school improvement bonds. BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS Over the course of the year, the District revised the General Fund annual expenditure budget due to an actual budget balance carryforward increase and sudden growth in student enrollment. The difference between the original budget and the final amended budget was a 664,721 increase, or one percent. Significant variances for the final amended budget and actual revenues resulted from the District not being required by the State of Arizona to prepare a revenue budget. A schedule showing the original and final budget amounts compared to the District s actual financial activity for the General Fund is provided in this report as required supplementary information. There were no significant variances between the final amended budget and actual expenditures. Page 12
