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 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 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 P.O.

Village of Chesaning (Saginaw County) August 7, 2013 Page 2 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. 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, the discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Chesaning, Saginaw County, Michigan, as of February 28, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof 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 on pages 1 through 6, the budgetary comparison information in Exhibits J and K, and the schedules of funding progress for pensions and other postemployment benefits 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.

Village of Chesaning (Saginaw County) August 7, 2013 Page 3 Supplementary and Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Village of Chesaning s basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary and related information presented as Exhibits L through R are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The information presented in Exhibits L through R is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates 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 statement 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 Exhibits listed above are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 7, 2013, on our consideration of the Village of Chesaning s internal control over financial reporting and 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 in considering Village of Chesaning s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

VILLAGE OF CHESANING--SAGINAW COUNTY MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of the Village of Chesaning s financial performance provides an overview of the Village s financial activities for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013. USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of three parts: management s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, and required supplementary information. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. The basic financial statements include a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities on Exhibit A and B provide information about the activities of the Village as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Village s finances. Fund financial statements start with Exhibit C. For governmental activities, these statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the Village s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the Village s most significant funds. The remaining statements provide financial information about activities for which the Village acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside of the government. Reporting the Village as a Whole The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities One of the most important questions asked about the Village s finances is, Is the Village as a whole better or worse off as a result of the year s activities? The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the Village as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. These two statements report the Village s net assets and changes in them. You can think of the Village s net assets the difference between assets and liabilities as one way to measure the Village s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Village s net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other nonfinancial factors, however, such as changes in the Village s property tax base and the condition of Village s infrastructure, to assess the overall health of the Village. In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities we divide the Village into two kinds of activities: Governmental activities Most of the Village s basic services are reported here, including the police, public works, parks department, and general administration. Property taxes, franchise fees, and state grants finance most of these activities. 1

VILLAGE OF CHESANING--SAGINAW COUNTY MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Business-type activities The Village charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides. The Village s water and sewer system are reported here. Component units The Village includes the Downtown Development Authority and Economic Development Corporation, which are separate legal entities in this report. Although legally separate, the component unit is important because the Village is financially accountable for them. Report the Village s Major Fund Fund Financial Statements Our analysis of the Village s major funds begins with Exhibit C and D with additional information provided in Note A of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Some funds are required to be established by state law such as Major Street, and Local Street while others are established by the Village Council to help it control and manage money for particular reasons such as the Street Lighting. The Village s two kinds of funds, governmental and proprietary, use different accounting approaches. Governmental funds Most of the Village s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the Village s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the Village s programs. We describe the relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds in reconciliation at the bottom of the fund financial statements of Exhibit C and D. Proprietary funds When the Village charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the Village s enterprise funds (a component of proprietary funds) are the same as the business-type activities we report in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds. Additional Required Supplementary Information (RSI) Following the basic financial statements is additional Required Supplementary Information that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. The Required Supplementary Information includes budgetary comparison schedules and schedules of funding progress for pensions and other postemployment benefits. 2

VILLAGE OF CHESANING--SAGINAW COUNTY MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Other Supplementary Information Other supplementary information includes combining financial statements for the non-major governmental funds in Exhibit L and M. These exhibits provide the balance sheet and income statement for the individual funds that are combined into the non-major governmental column in Exhibits C and D. The Village as a Whole The Village s combined net position increased from $6,229,214 to $6,417,805 or $188,591 for the year ended February 28, 2013. Our analysis focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the Village s governmental and business-type activities.

This decrease is due to a larger decrease in revenues than expenses. Net position of the Village s business-type activities increased by 8.8%, or $321,312 ($3,636,274 compared to $3,957,586). This increase is due to the completion of the sewer system project (Fourth Street Pump Station Replacement) which increased the invested in capital assets. 3

Total governmental activities expenses including transfers increased by $355 from $1,471,250 to $1,471,605. The revenues decrease is partially due to lower taxable values. Total 2013 expenses remained almost the same as in 2012 with a decrease in total revenues. Business-Type Activities Total revenues for the Village s business-type activities increased by 47.2% ($447,689), while expenses decreased 2.6% ($28,440) from fiscal year 2012 to 2013. The revenue increased as the Village increased the water and sewer rates and the Village received grant funds. The decrease in the expenses is due to completion of the Fourth Street Pump Station. 4

VILLAGE OF CHESANING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Village of Chesaning is located in Saginaw County and provides services to its 2,394 residents in many areas including: public safety (police), public works, and general government. The Village is a general law village incorporated under Public Act 3 of 1895. The Village is governed by a seven-member council, including a president elected by the citizens of the Village. The accounting policies of the Village of Chesaning (Village) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to governmental units. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used by the Village. Reporting Entity The criteria established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 61, "The Financial Reporting Entity," for determining the reporting entity includes oversight responsibility, fiscal dependency and whether the financial statements would be misleading if data were not included. Based on the above criteria, these financial statements present the financial statements of the Village (the primary government) and its component units. The individual component units discussed below is included in the Village s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the Village. The following discretely presented component units are reported within the "component unit" column in the government-wide financial statements. DISCRETELY PRESENTED COMPONENT UNITS The following component units are reported within the "component unit" column in the combined financial statements. The discretely presented component units are an entity that is legally separate from the Village, but for which the Village is financially accountable or its relationship with the Village is such that exclusion would cause the financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Downtown Development Authority The Downtown Development Authority (Authority) exists to encourage economic development in the downtown area of the Village. The governing body of the component unit is appointed by the Village Council. The component unit maintains a general fund as its sole operating fund. Separate financial statements of the individual component unit have not been issued as management believes these general purpose financial statements, including disclosures, contain complete information to constitute a fair presentation of the component unit. The Village has the ability to significantly influence operations of the Authority. 16

VILLAGE OF CHESANING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Economic Development Corporation The Economic Development Corporation exists to encourage economic development in the Village. The governing body of the component unit is appointed by the Village Council. The component unit maintains a general fund as its sole operating fund. Separate financial statements of the individual component unit have not been issued as management believes these general purpose financial statements, including disclosures, contain complete information to constitute a fair presentation of the component unit. The Village has the ability to significantly influence operations of the Authority. Joint Operations Under authorization of state statutes, the Village of Chesaning joined Chesaning Township and Brady Township to establish and operate a Joint Fire Protection Authority for the mutual advantage of the governments. Two members of the Board of Directors for the Authority are appointed by each Township and one member is appointed by the Village. The records are maintained and funds held by Chesaning Township. The operating and capital budgets are to be funded by a millage from each government. The tax for the Fire Authority is collected by Chesaning Township on all Village assessed property. Basis of Presentation--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 non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, normally 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. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. 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 revenue. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. 17

VILLAGE OF CHESANING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available, restricted resources are applied first. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized when it is both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available if they are collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government 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, expenditures relating to compensated absences, and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, that is, when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Property taxes, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services 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. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the Village. The Village reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the Village 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 Major Street Fund accounts for the resources of State gas and weight tax revenues that are restricted for use on major streets. The Village reports the following major proprietary funds: The Sewer Fund accounts for the sewer operations of the Village. The Water Fund accounts for the water operations of the Village. 18

VILLAGE OF CHESANING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu-of taxes and various other functions of the government. 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 general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating 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 Funds relate to charges to customers for sales and services. The Water and Sewer Funds also recognizes the portion of tap fees intended to recover current costs (e.g., labor and material to hook up new customers) as operating revenue. The portion intended to recover the cost of the infrastructure is recognized as nonoperating revenue. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses, not meeting this definition, are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Bank Deposits and Investments For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, demand deposits and short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when acquired, are considered to be cash equivalents. The statement of cash flows includes both restricted and unrestricted cash. Investments are stated at fair value and short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Earnings from investments are allocated to numerous funds as required by Federal regulations, State statutes, and local ordinances. Receivables and Payables Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements, outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "interfund receivables/payables" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the noncurrent portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." 19
