INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT To the School Board of Independent School District No. 834 Stillwater, Minnesota We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Independent School District No. 834, Stillwater, Minnesota (the District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005, 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 an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior year partial comparative information presented has been derived from the District s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004, and in our report dated August 20, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information. 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 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 opinion. 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 of the District as of June 30, 2005, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements include partial prior year comparative information. Such information does not include all of the information required in a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the District s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004, from which such partial information was derived. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated August 18, 2005 on our consideration of the District s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, 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. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 834 Management s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005 This section of Independent School District 834 s (the District) annual financial report presents management s discussion and analysis of the District s financial performance during the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2005. Please read it in conjunction with the other components of the District s annual financial report. The Management s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a narrative overview and analysis presented as required supplementary information as specified in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial section of the annual report consists of the following parts: Independent Auditor s Report, MD&A, Basic financial statements, including the district-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and the notes to basic statements, Combining and individual fund statements and schedules. The following explains the two types of statements included in the basic financial statements: District-Wide Statements The district-wide statements (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities) report information about the District as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private sector companies. The Statement of Net Assets includes all of the District s assets and liabilities. All of the current year s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Activities regardless of when cash is received or paid. The two district-wide statements report the District s net assets and how they have changed. Net assets the difference between the District s assets and liabilities is one way to measure the District s financial health or position. Over time, increases or decreases in the District s net assets are indicators of whether its financial position is improving or deteriorating, respectively. To assess the overall health of the District requires consideration of additional non-financial factors such as changes in the District s property tax base and the condition of school buildings and other facilities. -3-
In the district-wide financial statements the District s activities are all shown in one category titled governmental activities. These activities, including regular and special education, transportation, administration, food services, and community education, are primarily financed with state aids and property taxes. Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District s funds, focusing on its most significant or major funds, rather than the District as a whole. Funds (Food Service and Community Service) that do not meet the threshold to be classified as major funds are called nonmajor funds. Detailed financial information for nonmajor funds can be found in the combining and individual fund statements and schedules section. Funds are accounting devices the District uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending on particular programs. Some funds are required by state law and by bond covenants. The District establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes (e.g. repaying its long-term debts) or to show that it is properly using certain revenues (e.g. federal grants). The District maintains the following kinds of funds: Governmental Funds The District s basic services are included in governmental funds which generally focus on: 1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out, and 2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps to determine whether there are more or less financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the District s programs. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the district-wide statements, we provide additional information (reconciliation schedules) immediately following the governmental funds statements that explain the relationship (or differences) between these two types of financial statement presentations. Fiduciary Funds The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to other organizations. The District is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. All of the District s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets. We exclude these activities from the district-wide financial statements because the District cannot use these assets to finance its operations. -4-
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE Table 1 is a summarized view of the District s Statement of Net Assets: Table 1 Statement of Net Assets as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 2005 2004 Assets Current and other assets $ 39,495,963 $ 60,392,846 Capital assets, net of depreciation 56,547,262 57,099,506 Total assets $ 96,043,225 $ 117,492,352 Liabilities Current and other liabilities $ 27,904,960 $ 27,870,039 Long-term liabilities, including due within one year 73,191,550 98,433,602 Total liabilities $ 101,096,510 $ 126,303,641 Net assets Invested in capital assets, net of related debt $ 4,091,555 $ 5,751,001 Restricted 8,312,680 4,636,152 Unrestricted (17,457,520) (19,198,442) Total net assets $ (5,053,285) $ (8,811,289) The District s financial position is the product of many factors. For example, the determination of the District s investment in capital assets, net of related debt involves many assumptions and estimates, such as current and accumulated depreciation amounts. A conservative versus a liberal approach to depreciation estimates, as well as capitalization policies, will produce a very significant difference in the calculated amounts. For these reasons, it is important to view the net assets balance as a starting point to evaluate future years results, rather than to just focus on the current balance. A major factor in determining net assets as compared to fund balances is the liability for severance and health benefits, which is basically unfunded. This impacts the unrestricted portion of net assets. Total net assets increased by $3,758,004 improving the overall financial position of the District. The reduction in both current assets and long-term liabilities is due to the payoff of the Series 1995 School Building Bonds in the amount of $19,840,000. -5-
Table 2 presents a condensed version of the change in net assets of the District: Table 2 Change in Net Assets For the Years Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 2005 2004 Revenues Program revenues Charges for services $ 5,960,825 $ 5,526,144 Operating grants and contributions 10,009,309 9,552,808 General revenues Property taxes 20,362,351 26,301,793 General grants and aids 51,132,241 49,244,244 Other 3,242,564 3,415,145 Total revenues 90,707,290 94,040,134 Expenses Administration 2,468,454 2,785,565 District support services 2,145,689 1,961,731 Elementary and secondary regular instruction 38,203,887 42,884,367 Vocational education instruction 1,003,022 969,816 Special education instruction 12,000,594 10,761,050 Instructional support services 5,496,537 6,445,570 Pupil support services 6,675,032 7,633,483 Sites and buildings 8,116,687 10,082,274 Fiscal and other fixed cost programs 373,295 413,012 Food service 3,242,678 2,737,346 Community service 3,604,700 3,409,652 Interest and fiscal charges on debt 3,618,711 4,074,149 Total expenses 86,949,286 94,158,015 Change in net assets $ 3,758,004 $ (117,881) This format is similar to financial reports of the past except that this is presented on an accrual basis of accounting, and it includes all of the governmental activities of the District. This statement includes depreciation expense; but excludes capital asset purchase costs, debt proceeds, and the repayment of debt principal. As seen above, total revenues for fiscal year 2005 experienced a $3.3 million reduction from the prior year. This was largely the result of fewer students being served, and a reduction in the health and safety and debt service levies. The reduction in regular instruction was primarily due to a revised calculation for the severance liability in fiscal year 2004, causing the related expenses to be higher than normal. The shift in expenses from pupil support services to special education instruction in fiscal year 2005 reflects a change to accurately comply with state reporting guidelines. The reduction in sites and buildings reflects a decrease in the level of projects occurring under the alternative facility plan. -6-
Figures A and B show further analysis of these revenue sources and expenditure functions: Figure A Sources of Revenues for Fiscal Year 2005 and 2004 2005 Other 3.6% Charges for Services 6.6% Operating Grants and Contributions 11.0% General Grants and Aids 56.4% Property Taxes 22.4% 2004 Charges for Services 5.9% Other 3.6% Operating Grants and Contributions 10.2% General Grants and Aids 52.3% Property Taxes 28.0% The largest share of the District s revenue is received from the state, including the aid formula and most of the capital and operating grants. This significant reliance on the state for funding has placed tremendous pressures on local school districts as a result of frozen funding due to the state s financial position. -7-
Figure B Expenses for Fiscal Year 2005 and 2004 2005 Food Service 3.7% Community Service 4.1% Interest and Fiscal Charges on Debt 4.2% Administration 2.8% Fiscal and Other Fixed Cost Programs 0.4% District Support Services 2.5% Sites and Buildings 9.3% Pupil Support Services 7.7% Instructional Support Services 6.3% Special Education Instruction 13.8% Vocational Education Instruction 1.2% Elementary and Secondary Regular Instruction 44.0% 2004 Food Service 2.9% Fiscal and Other Fixed Cost Programs 0.4% Community Service 3.6% Interest and Fiscal Charges on Debt 4.3% Administration 3.0% District Support Services 2.1% Sites and Buildings 10.7% Pupil Support Services 8.1% Instructional Support Services 6.8% Special Education Instruction 11.4% Vocational Education Instruction 1.0% Elementary and Secondary Regular Instruction 45.7% The District s expenditures are predominately related to educating students. As the above graphs show, approximately 75.5 percent of the expenses of the District are directly related to classroom instruction. The remaining 24.5 percent covers the activities supporting the classroom, including building maintenance, food services, community services, and administration. -8-
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT S FUNDS The financial performance of the District as a whole is also reflected in its governmental funds. Table 3 shows the change in total fund balances of each of the District s governmental funds: Table 3 Governmental Fund Balances as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 Total Increase Percent 2005 2004 (Decrease) Change Major funds General $ 5,875,012 $ 6,158,436 $ (283,424) (4.6%) Capital Projects Building Construction 5,066,708 4,973,394 93,314 1.9% Debt Service 940,333 22,060,900 (21,120,567) (95.7%) Nonmajor funds Food Service 350,873 371,622 (20,749) (5.6%) Community Service 517,866 547,170 (29,304) (5.4%) Total governmental funds $ 12,750,792 $ 34,111,522 $ (21,360,730) (62.6%) The decrease in fund balance in the General Fund is in the reserved accounts, primarily related to health and safety. The unreserved undesignated portion was increased to $928,129 or 1.2 percent of the budgeted expenditures. The decrease in the Debt Service Fund is due to the payoff of the Series 1995 School Building Bonds in the amount of $19,840,000. The District is now paying principal and interest on the General Obligation School Building Refunding Bonds, Series 1998. Analysis of the General Fund Table 4 summarizes the amendments to the General Fund budget: Table 4 General Fund Budget Increase Original Budget Final Budget (Decrease) Percent Change Revenue $ 74,725,108 $ 73,898,701 $ (826,407) (1.1%) Expenditures $ 74,903,511 $ 75,074,350 $ 170,839 0.2% The District is required to adopt an operating budget prior to the beginning of its fiscal year, referred to above as the original budget. During the year, the District amended that budget for known changes in circumstances such as enrollment levels, legislative funding, and employee contract settlements. The School Board approved the revised General Fund budget and budget adjustments on January 20, 2005. -9-
Table 5 summarizes the operating results of the General Fund: Table 5 General Fund Operating Results Over (Under) Final Budget Over (Under) Prior Year 2005 Actual Amount Percent Amount Percent Revenue $ 74,746,241 $ 847,540 1.1% $ (2,285,978) (3.0%) Expenditures 75,029,665 $ (44,685) (0.1%) $ (913,043) (1.2%) Net change in fund balances $ (283,424) Revenues for fiscal year 2005 were more than budgeted due to special education tuition billed to other districts, third party medical assistance revenue, E-rate revenue, and interest all exceeding anticipated levels. Actual expenditures were.1 percent under budget. Total revenue decreased by $2.3 million from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal 2005. Revenue was negatively impacted due to declining enrollment. Revenues were also down as a result of fewer special education tuition billings, and federal and health and safety program sources all being lower than 2004 levels. Expenditures decreased $900,000 from fiscal year 2004 due to decreases in curriculum and health and safety spending. -10-
Comments on Significant Activities in Other Funds In the Debt Service Fund, the Series 1995 School Building Bonds in the amount of $19,840,000 were paid in full. The District is now paying principal and interest on the General Obligation School Building Refunding Bonds, Series 1998. The Capital Projects Building Construction Fund reflects those expenditures attributed to the District s alternative facilities program. The District plans to utilize available fund balance resources in upcoming years on approved projects. CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets Table 6 shows the District s capital assets, together with changes from the previous year. The table also shows the total depreciation expense for fiscal years ending June 30, 2005 and 2004: Table 6 Capital Assets Increase 2005 2004 (Decrease) Land $ 3,734,902 $ 3,734,902 $ Construction in progress 671,984 671,984 Land and improvements 4,616,480 4,540,952 75,528 Buildings 74,923,336 74,135,569 787,767 Furniture and equipment 8,099,609 7,908,640 190,969 Less accumulated depreciation (35,499,049) (33,220,557) (2,278,492) Total $ 56,547,262 $ 57,099,506 $ (552,244) Depreciation expense $ 2,278,492 $ 2,289,489 $ (10,997) The increase in construction in progress reflects the many alternative facility projects started in June 2005 but not completed as of fiscal year-end. The increase in buildings reflects those alternative facilities projects completed during fiscal year 2005. The District only capitalizes furniture and equipment valued at $3,000 or more. -11-
Long-Term Liabilities Table 7 illustrates the components of the District s long-term liabilities, together with the change from the prior year: Table 7 Outstanding Long-Term Liabilities Increase 2005 2004 (Decrease) General obligation bonds $ 51,720,000 $ 75,415,000 $ (23,695,000) Capital leases 1,833,475 2,451,150 (617,675) Severance and health benefits payable 19,425,899 20,388,016 (962,117) Compensated absences 212,176 179,436 32,740 Total $ 73,191,550 $ 98,433,602 $ (25,242,052) The reduction in the general obligation bonds is due to the bond payoff (as discussed earlier) and the normal payment of principal as scheduled during the year. The decrease in capital leases is due to the planned repayment schedule reflecting principal payments on capital leases during fiscal year 2005. The state limits the amount of general obligation debt the District can issue to 15 percent of the market value of all taxable property within the District s corporate limits. (See Table 8) Table 8 Limitations on Debt District s market value $ 6,039,718,800 Limit rate 15.0% Legal debt limit $ 905,957,820 Additional details of the District s capital assets and long-term debt activity can be found in the notes to basic financial statements. -12-
FACTORS BEARING ON THE DISTRICT S FUTURE With the exception of the voter-approved excess operating referendum, the District is dependent on the state of Minnesota for its revenue authority. Recent experience demonstrates that legislated revenue increases have not been sufficient to meet instructional program needs and increased costs due to inflation. The general education program is the method by which school districts receive the majority of their financial support. Beginning with the 2003 fiscal year, this source of funding became entirely state aid, greatly increasing a district s reliance on the state of Minnesota for educational resources. The basic general education formula amount for all Minnesota school districts remains at the fiscal year 2003 level of $4,601 for fiscal year 2005, but is increasing to $4,783 for fiscal year 2006. The struggling Minnesota economy, along with the national and international economy, creates a significant challenge in funding education for Minnesota schools.
