In addition, the representation letter provided to us, by management, confirmed there were no uncorrected misstatements. Management has recorded all of our adjusting journal entries, and has agreed to the conversion entries necessary to convert governmental funds and proprietary funds to governmental activities and business-type activities, respectively.

In accordance with auditing standards, generally accepted in the United States of America, we have acquired a sufficient understanding of the District and its environment, including its internal control, to assess the risk of material misstatements of the financial statements whether due to error or fraud, and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures that were necessary to express an opinion on the 2008-09 basic financial statements.

Our consideration of the District’s internal control components was not designed for the purpose of making detailed recommendations and would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies within the components. Our audit procedures have been appropriately adjusted to compensate for any observed significant deficiencies. The following three paragraphs define the three different types of deficiencies that can occur:

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements, that is more than inconsequential, will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.

As the primary purpose of our audit is to form an opinion on the basic financial statements, you will appreciate that reliance must be placed on adequate methods of internal control as your principal safeguard against errors and fraud which audit procedures may not disclose. The objective of internal control over financial reporting is to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use and that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and for maintaining the accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of internal control should not exceed the related benefits; to operationalize this concept, management is required to formulate estimates and judgments of the cost/benefit ratios of alternative controls.

There are inherent limitations that should be recognized in considering the potential effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Errors can result from misunderstanding of instructions, mistakes of judgment, carelessness, fatigue, and other personnel factors. Control procedures whose effectiveness depends upon the segregation of duties can be circumvented by collusion or by management. What's more, any projection of internal control evaluations to future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or due to the deterioration of the degree of compliance with control procedures.

Board of School Directors Dr. Charles Amuso, Superintendent

As an adjunct to our audit, we remained alert throughout for opportunities to enhance internal controls and operating efficiency. These matters were discussed with management as the audit progressed and have subsequently been reviewed in detail to formulate practical recommendations. We wish to thank your staff for their courtesies and cooperation, which facilitated the efficient performance of audit procedures. The remainder of this letter will explain any internal control deficiencies discovered during the audit, other auditor recommendations, and other information pertinent to the District.

A control deficiency is determined to be considered a material weakness or significant deficiency based upon the magnitude of the problem as it pertains to a particular opinion unit. In other words, what is considered a significant deficiency in one fund may only be a control deficiency in another fund of greater size.

The following section in this governance/management letter is separated by categories based on importance, with any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies listed in the beginning:

CONTROL DEFICIENCIES

General Fund – Tax Collections

During our review of recorded tax revenue, we discovered problems in proving to the various tax duplicates. Although we have had prior year issues associated with the recording of property tax revenues, the business office has attempted to fix these problems each year. The last phase is to correct mispostings and other errors pertaining to the timing of when taxes collected by elected tax collectors are recorded and the District utilizing more accounts than is necessary.

For example, when the elected tax collector deposits taxes collected into the district’s bank accounts, the receipts are not recorded to revenue, until they are transferred to the general fund key account. At that point, they are posted to a revenue clearing account until the tax collector submits the Act 169 monthly report showing what type of tax was collected and deposited during the previous month.

Our recommendations are two-fold. First, we recommend the business office record the deposit to the tax clearing account at the time the tax collector deposits the funds into the district’s bank account, not when the money is transferred to the key account. This recommendation will clear up timing issues that occur during the year. Second, we recommend that the district’s use of recording discounts and penalties to their own general ledger accounts for each municipality should end. This would eliminate positing errors from occurring during the year between the various account codes that exists for each municipality. Following this recommendation, the business office would only record the net amount received for each tax into one revenue account, per municipality. This recommendation will improve the audit trail making it easier to trace each deposit directly to a corresponding tax revenue account.

General Fund – Purchase Orders

During our review of testing invoices in the general fund, we discovered forty-five invoices with purchase orders attached that did not have any approval on the purchase orders. Proper controls pertaining to expenditures requires each purchase order issued to be properly approved reflecting a supervisor’s signature or initials. We recommend the business office improve their review procedures on issued purchase orders.

Activity Clubs

During our review of the student activity clubs, we came across the following clubs that may not be considered a student club by the auditor general’s office. As such, we are recommending that this listing be investigated by management to make sure there are proper by-laws, student officers, and appropriate minutes of meetings:

High School Activity:

• AP Guidance

• All School

• Presidential Classroom

• Physical Education

• Starving Artist

• Student Parking

• Career Day

• Men’s Lacrosse Fundraiser

• Senior CD

• School Pop

• Safe Schools

• Girls Lacrosse Fundraiser

• Women’s Volleyball Fundraiser

• Men’s Cross Country Fundraiser

• Golf Fundraiser

• Arts Night Out

• Girls Track Fundraiser

• Class Gift

Indian Crest Jr. High Activity:

• Athletics - should be in the athletic fund

• 30th anniversary brick pavers sale

• Ferdock Fund

• Target/Genuardi’s

• Lost Textbooks

• Fundraisers

2005 AA Construction Fund

During our review of construction fund invoices, we discovered a number of mispostings that occurred between major object codes 450 and 700 series. As examples, check no. 1381 and 1443 were originally posted to object code 757 and later journalized into code 450 in the amount of $388,563.76. These checks should have been coded to object code 788 for infrastructure technology. Check nos. 1402 and 1459 were also miscoded. We would like to recommend the business office utilize the PA School Accounting Manual more closely to verify the correct posting of all construction fund expenditures.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Journal Entries

We would like to recommend all journal entries made during the year should be numbered in numeric sequence, with proper documentation and explanation attached to each entry, and maintained in a three ring binder, segregated by month. By making this improvement the audit trail will improve by tracing the entries posted in the detailed general ledger directly to the journal entry books.

Board of School Directors Dr. Charles Amuso, Superintendent

Self-balancing accounts

During this year’s audit, we discovered the district was posting across funds in the pentamation computer system. As such, the computer system developed an automatic self-balancing account that was not cleared at the end of the fiscal year. We do not recommend positing across funds, since this creates a problem in tracing the transactions that should be present in each fund. When one fund pays the expenses of another fund, there should be a corresponding interfund receivable and payable account in both funds. In addition, any support from the general fund to pay athletic fund expenditures should be done by the School Board’s approval of an interfund transfer. OTHER INFORMATION

GASB Statement No. 53 – Derivatives During the 2008 calendar year, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued the latest accounting principle standard for all governments to follow. GASB Statement No. 53 is associated with the proper accounting and reporting of derivative instruments. The only derivative instruments to be acquired, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by governments are derivatives pertaining to debt; i.e. interest rate swaps, forward swaptions, constant maturity basis swaps, and etc. Governments who use this type of financial instrument are now required to record the fair value of the derivative onto the government-wide financial statements reflected as an asset or liability. The recording of the net change in fair value depends on the effectiveness of the hedge. These types of financial instruments can potentially save governments money, but are as risky as adjustable rate mortgages versus fixed rate mortgages. If the District would like further clarification of this accounting standard, we will be happy to discuss it with you. The effective date for this standard is the 2009-10 fiscal year. GASB Statement No. 54 – Fund Balancing Reporting In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 54 redefining the various components of fund balance that is used in government funds (General Fund, Capital Reserve Fund, Athletic Fund, Capital Project Fund, and Debt Service Funds). This standard goes into effect for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The new categories of fund balance are: Nonspendale Restricted Committed Assigned Unassigned The Nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractual required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” includes items not expected to be converted into cash, for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. The corpus (principal) of a permanent fund is an example of an amount that is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The Restricted fund balance classification occurs when constraints placed on the use of resources are either:

a. Externally imposed by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments; or

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Required Supplementary Information (RSI) (UNAUDITED)

For the Year Ended June 30, 2009

-12-

The discussion and analysis of Souderton Area School District's financial performance provides an overall review of the District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the District's financial performance as a whole; readers should also review the financial statements and notes to enhance their understanding of the District's financial performance.

The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is an element of the new reporting model adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in their Statement No. 34 Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments issued June 1999. Certain comparative information between the current year and the prior year is required to be presented in the MD&A.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The 2008-2009 budgets for Souderton Area School District was the first prepared under the guidelines set forth in Act 1 of 2006. Due to the complexity of Act 1, the annual budget was prepared over a period of nine months. Previously the budget was developed over six months. Construction is completed on the new high school, and it opened in September 2009. The construction project significantly reduced the capital projects fund from $30.5 million the prior year to $894 thousand as the funds were used for its intended purpose to construct the new high school. The capital reserve funds also decreased by one million to $7.1 million as funds were used to support the high school construction project. Enrollment had decreased by 71 students for fiscal year 2008-09 compared to a growth of 19 students for 2007-08. The decline in interest rates will continue to erode investment earnings for the school district. The declining real estate market, financial bank crisis, and the overall weakened economy have resulted in fewer new homes in the district. This situation has led to a stagnant student enrollment population in the immediate future. Special education costs continued to increase, jumping to $12.7 million, and an increase of 8.5% over the previous year. The Board of School Directors were able to balance the revenue and expenditure budgets with no real estate tax increase and utilize $1.4 million of fund balance for 2008-09. Actual revenues exceeded the budget by more than $1.1 million. However, actual expenditures, before transfers, exceeded the budget amount by $805 thousand due to the sharp increase in interest expense on the variable rate bond issue. The original budget appropriated $821 thousand of fund balance to be used. However, the significant increase in interest expense that was incurred in the debt service of the variable rate bond caused the fund balance to decrease by $1.4 million. The fund balance of the general fund decreased from $12.4 million to $10.9 million.

USING THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

This annual report consists of a series of financial statements and notes to those statements. These statements are organized so the reader can understand Souderton Area School District as a financial whole, an entire operating entity. The statements then proceed to provide an increasingly detailed look at specific financial activities.

The first two statements are government-wide financial statements - the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities. These provide both long-term and short-term information about the District's overall financial status.

Souderton Area School District Management’s Discussion and Analysis

-13-

The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the District’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements. The governmental funds statements tell how general District services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Proprietary fund statements offer short and long-term financial information about the activities that the District operates like a business. For this District this is our Food Service Fund. Fiduciary fund statements provide information about financial relationships where the District acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others, to whom the resources in question belong.

The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Government-wide Statements

The government-wide statements 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 government's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.

The two government-wide statements report the District’s net assets and how they have changed. Net assets, the difference between the District's assets and liabilities, are one way to measure the District's financial health or position.

Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net assets are an indication of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.

To assess the overall health of the District, you need to consider additional factors, such as the increasing property tax base, outlook for future growth, strength of financial policies and planning, and student performance and achievement.

The government-wide financial statements of the District are divided into two categories:

• Governmental activities - All of the District's basic services are included here, such as instruction, administration and community services. Property taxes and state and federal subsidies and grants finance most of these activities.

• Business type activities -The District operates a food service operation and charges fees to staff, students and visitors to help it cover the costs of the food service operation.

Fund Financial Statements

The District's fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds - not the District as a whole. Some funds are required by state law and by bond requirements.

Governmental funds - Most of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds, which focus on the determination of financial position and change in financial position, not on income determination. They 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 District's operations and the services it provides. Governmental fund information helps the reader determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the District's programs. The relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the financial statements.

Proprietary funds - These funds are used to account for the District activities that are similar to business operations in the private sector; or where the reporting is on determining net income, financial position, changes in financial position, and a significant portion of funding through user charges. When the District charges customers for services it provides - whether to outside customers or to other units in the District - these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. The Food Service Fund is the District's proprietary fund and is 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.

Souderton Area School District Management’s Discussion and Analysis

-16-

Fiduciary funds - The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for some scholarship funds. All of the District's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Assets. We exclude these activities from the District's other financial statement because the District cannot use these assets to finance its operations.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE

The District's total net assets were $74,859,145 at June 30, 2009. This is a decrease in net assets of $2,808,872 from the net assets for the previous fiscal year.

2009 2008

Most of the District's net assets are invested in capital assets (buildings, land, and equipment). At June 30, 2009, the District had a balance of $57,587,629 for this class of assets. This is a 10% increase from the $52 million at June 30, 2008. Unrestricted net assets reflect a positive balance which consists of the effect of funds on hand to be invested in capital in future years and the District’s decision not to currently fund long-term benefits for accumulated and unused vacation, sick, other post employment benefits, and early retirement incentive payments.

The results of this year's operations as a whole are reported in the Statement of Activities. All expenses are reported in the first column. Specific charges, grants, revenues and subsidies that directly relate to specific expense categories are represented to determine the final amount of the District's activities that are supported by other general revenues. The two largest general revenues are the local real estate taxes assessed on residents and property owners and grants and entitlements not restricted to specific

Total governmental activities expenses of $99,589,977 include $1,793,436 of unallocated depreciation expense. Wages and benefits comprise about two thirds of the total Governmental Activity expenses. Total Business-Type Activities (food services) expenses of $2,296,644 include the costs necessary to operate the cafeterias in all the schools. The District’s practice is to operate food service activities on a break-even basis. Menu prices are reviewed each year and changed to attain this goal. Any excess revenue at year-end is accumulated to offset future large purchases of food service/kitchen equipment. In future years, the Board of Directors may elect to transfer excess funds to the general fund in partial for indirect expenses, such as utilities and cleaning costs. The tables below present the expenses of both the Governmental Activities and the Business-type Activities of the District.

Table A-3 shows the District's eight largest functions - instructional programs, instructional student support, administrative, operation and maintenance of plant, pupil transportation, student activities, community services, food service as well as each program's net cost (total cost less revenues generated by the activities). This table also shows the net costs offset by the other unrestricted grants, subsidies and contributions to show the remaining financial needs supported by local taxes and other miscellaneous revenues. Unrestricted grants and subsidies of $10,126,063 were available to reduce the cost of services of governmental activities to a net cost of $75,793,584. Significant unrestricted grants and subsidies include the Basic Education Subsidy which equaled $8,043,562 for 2008-09.

THE DISTRICT FUNDS

At June 30, 2009, the District governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $19,035,553, a decrease of $17,035,815 from the previous year. This was primarily due to the construction of the new high school and the related Capital Project’s fund balance decrease of $9,483,654. The Capital Reserve’s fund balance also declined $2,025,916, as a result of the high school project. The Capital Reserve Fund is also used for unexpected and proposed capital projects each year. In order to fund these projects without the need for additional borrowing issues, the District has established this fund and makes transfers from available fund balance of the General Fund to this fund.

The District General Fund also dropped $1,450,403 to $10,992,058, as a result of the increased interest expense related to the spike in the interest rate on the variable rate bond issue Series of 2007. This situation has been corrected by refinancing this bond with a fixed rate General Obligation Series of 2009. This decrease in the fund balance of other Non-Major Governmental Funds is also related to this refinancing. This fund balance declined by $4,075,842, primarily due to the refinancing of the variable rate bond series of 2007 and the termination of the interest rate swap attached to the bond.

General Fund Budget

During the fiscal year, the Board of School Directors (The Board) authorizes revisions to the original budget to accommodate differences from the original budget to the actual expenditures of the District. All adjustments are again confirmed at the time the annual audit is accepted, which is after the end of the fiscal year, which is not prohibited by state law. A statement showing the District's original and final budget amounts compared with amounts actually paid and received is provided in the Annual Financial Report.

Our local revenues exceeded budgetary figures due to higher than anticipated earned income tax and delinquent real estate. Earned income tax exceeded the budget by $443 thousand and delinquent real estate tax came in at $485 thousand over the budget amount. Interest income on investments came to under the budget by $315 thousand generating $684 thousand in revenues. This is a result of the drop in interest rates due to the weakened economy. State revenue was slightly more than originally budgeted, as was federal revenue.

CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION

CAPITAL ASSETS

At June 30, 2009, the District had $178,648,227 invested in a broad range of capital assets, including land, buildings and furniture and equipment. This amount represents a net increase (including additions, deletions and depreciation) of $8,974,848 from last year. The majority of the increase is the direct result of the construction of the new high school.

The District did not have any significant additions in capital assets other than construction in progress and site improvements.

DEBT ADMINISTRATION

As of July 1, 2008, the District had total outstanding debt of $126,325,000. The District took advantage of lower interest rates last year and refinanced six bond issues to save on interest expense on outstanding debt. The Series of 2007 was refunded and replaced by the Series of 2009. Four bond issues; Series A of 2001, Series of 2002, Series A of 2003, and Series of 2004 were refunded and replaced by Series A 2009. Additionally, Series of 2003 was refunded and replaced by Series AA of 2009. The total savings to the district amounted to $677,265. During the year, the District issued no additional debt and retired and repaid $8,945,000 of principal resulting in ending outstanding debt as of June 30, 2009, of $117,380,000.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES

In May, 2009, Standard and Poor’s issued an underlying rating of “AA”. This rating means the district has an extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. It is expected the “the district will maintain a stable financial position given a track record of conservative budgeting practices.

The financial future of the District will be impacted by employment agreements and/or contracts for the employee groups listed below. Included is the expiration date of each existing agreement.

Souderton Area School District Management’s Discussion and Analysis

-21-

The District expects that growth will moderate in the near future given weakening economy and the overall tightening of credit markets.

The District faces several challenges in the upcoming years. The weakened economy has had a negative impact on revenues, affecting earned income tax, and transfer tax and investment income. The benefit expense that is projected to rise at alarming rates is PSERS (Public School Employees’ Retirement System). The current rate is 4.78% for 2009-10 school year. However, the PSERS rate is expected to jump to 8.40% for 2010-2011, 10.70% for 2011-2012, and 29.55% for 2012-2013. If these rates are not readjusted it will have a huge negative impact on the district of several million dollars.

Another benefit expense that is a concern to the district is health care. This expense continues to rise at a rate that outpaces inflationary levels. The district has helped to control this expense by remaining self funded.

The revenue budget for the 2009-2010 year is $2,695,993 more than the original budget for 2008-2009. This represents only a 2.8% increase in budgeted revenues primarily due to the 2% increase in local property tax. The expenditure budget for the 2009-2010 year is $4,091,226 higher than the original budget for 2008-2009. This amounts a 4.3% increase from the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the opening of the new high school. Additionally, the district had to hire additional staff to reformat the two middle schools. This change was planned with the opening of the new high school, allowing more room at the middle school level.

The comparison of original budgeted revenue and expenditure categories is as follows:

TOTAL FUND BALANCES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS 19,035,553$

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are different because:

Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore are not reported as assets in governmental funds. The cost of the assets is $221,995,604 and the accumulated depreciation is $44,140,414. 177,855,190

Additional receivables established that do not meet the availability criteria reflected in the fund financial statements. This amount represents the difference between the prior year receivables and the current year receivables established under the accrual basis of accounting. 129,113

Property taxes receivable will be collected this year, but are not available soon enough to pay for the current period's expenditures and therefore are deferred in the funds. 1,391,321

The governmental funds follow the purchase method of inventory; therefore no inventory is reflected on the balance sheet. However, the statement of net assets uses the consumption method of inventory. 98,118

Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the funds. Long-term liabilities at year end consist of:

Bonds payable (121,954,744)$ Accrued interest on the bonds (669,675)

Compensated absences (1,604,722) Net OPEB Obligation (335,229)

NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS (17,035,815)$

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement ofactivities are different because:

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 as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.

Depreciation expense $ 2,415,070 less - capital outlays 11,463,023 9,047,953

In the statement of activities, only the gain on the sale of the capital assets is reported, whereas 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 fixed assets sold. (394)

Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the District's fiscal year ends, they are not considered as "available" revenues in the governmental funds. Deferred revenues increased by this amount this year. (11,239)

Repayment of bond and lease principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. 5,740,000

In the statement of activities, certain operating expenses--compensated absences (vacations) and special termination benefits (early retirement) - are measured by the amounts earned during the year. In the governmental funds; however, expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of financial resources used. This amount represents the difference between the amount earned versus the amount used. (780,256) SUB-TOTAL IN CHANGES BETWEEN BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (3,039,751)

SUB-TOTAL IN CHANGES BETWEEN BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (cont'd) (3,039,751)$

In the statement of activities, certain operating revenues are recognized when earned versus the revenues using the modified accrual basis of accounting in the fund statements that are recognized when the funds are available. As such, the amount shown here represents the difference between earned revenues and revenues that are earned, but not available. 129,113

Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. This would include accumulated interest accreted on capital appreciation bonds. The additional interest accrued in the statement of activities over the amount due is shown here. 90,743

Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of assets. Refunding bond issues becomes a use of current financial resources in governmental funds, but refundings represent payments of long-term debt in the statement of net assets. This figure represents the difference between bond proceeds and refunding payments made to paying agents. (10,398)

The governmental funds use the purchase method of inventory, where all items purchased are charged to expenditures. However, the statement of activities is reflected on the consumption method of recording inventory type items; therefore, this adjustment reflects the inventory difference. (9,994)

Note 1 - Description of the School District and Reporting Entity

School District

The Souderton Area School district (SASD) includes an area of 49 square miles in Upper Montgomery County. It is the largest school district in square miles, in the County. The district is situated midway between the cities of Allentown and Philadelphia. Due to its locale the district has the best of both worlds: proximity to the city, while in a semi-rural setting. Six municipalities are within the boundaries of the SASD: the two boroughs of Souderton and Telford and the four townships of Franconia, Lower Salford, Upper Salford and Salford.

Souderton Area is a growing community with farmlands becoming home sites at a steady pace. To meet the needs of this growing community, the school district closely monitors student population. Vernfield Elementary, the district’s seventh elementary school, opened in September 2003. The opening of Vernfield answered SASD’s elementary space concerns. However, at the secondary level crowded conditions have resulted in modular classroom additions at the high school, Indian Crest Junior High, and Indian Valley Middle School. Subsequent to year end, a new high school opened in September 2009.

The Souderton Area School District is a unit established, organized and empowered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the express purpose of carrying out, on the local level, the Commonwealth's obligation to public education, as established by the constitution of the Commonwealth and by the School Law Code of the same (Article II; Act 150, July 8, 1968).

As specified under the School Law Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, this and all other school districts of the state "shall be and hereby are vested as, bodies corporate, with all necessary powers to carry out the provisions of this act." (Article II, Section 211).

Board of School Directors

The public school system of the Commonwealth shall be administered by a board of school directors, to be elected or appointed, as hereinafter provided. At each election of school directors, each qualified voter shall be entitled to cast one vote for each school director to be elected.

The Souderton Area School District is governed by a board of nine School Directors who are residents of the School District and who are elected every two years, on a staggered basis, for a four-year term.

The Board of School Directors has the power and duty to establish, equip, furnish, and maintain a sufficient number of elementary, secondary, and other schools necessary to educate every person, residing in such district, between the ages of six and twenty-one years, who may attend.

In order to establish, enlarge, equip, furnish, operate, and maintain any schools herein provided, or to pay any school indebtedness which the school district is required to pay, or to pay any indebtedness that may at any time hereafter be created by the school district, the board of school directors are vested with all the necessary authority and power annually to levy and collect the necessary taxes required and granted by the legislature, in addition to the annual State appropriation, and are vested with all necessary power and authority to comply with and carry out any or all of the provisions of the Public School Code of 1949.

Administration

The Superintendent of Schools shall be the executive officer of the Board of School Directors and, in that capacity shall administer the School District in conformity with Board policies and the School Laws of Pennsylvania. The Superintendent shall be directly responsible to, and therefore appointed by, the Board of School Directors. The Superintendent shall be responsible for the overall administration, supervision, and operation of the School District.

The Director of Business and Fiscal Affairs, recommended by the Superintendent and appointed by the Board of School Directors, shall supervise and coordinate all business aspects of the School District. In this capacity, he or she shall be responsible to insure that all work accomplished by him/her, or by persons under his/her supervision, is in the best interests of the Souderton Area School District. The Director of Business and Fiscal Affairs is directly responsible to the Superintendent.

Reporting Entity

A reporting entity is comprised of the primary government, component units, and other organizations that are included to insure that the financial statements of the School District are not misleading. The primary government consists of all funds, departments, boards, and agencies that are not legally separate from the School District. For Souderton Area School District, this includes general operations, food service, and student related activities of the School District.

Souderton Area School District is a municipal Corporation governed by an elected nine-member board. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements are to present Souderton Area School District (the primary government) and organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable. The School District is financially accountable for an organization if the School District appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and (1) the School District is able to significantly influence the programs or services performed or provided by the organization; or (2) the School District is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the organization's resources; the School District is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the responsibility to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or the School District is obligated for the debt of the organization. Component units may also include organizations that are financially dependent on the School District in that the School District approved the budget, the issuance of debt, or the levying of taxes. The Souderton Area School District does not have any component units.

Joint Ventures

North Montco Tehnical Career Center

The School District is a participating member of the North Montco Technical Career Center (NMTCC) The NMTCC is run by a joint committee consisting of members from each participating district. No participating district appoints a majority of the joint committee. The board of directors of each participating district must approve the NMTCC’s annual operating budget. Each participating district pays a pro-rata share of the NMTCC’s operating costs based on the number of students attending the NMTCC for each District. The District's share of the NMTCC's operating costs for 2008-09 was $1,771,442.

On dissolution of the North Montco Technical Career Center, the net assets of NMTCC will be shared on a pro-rata basis of each participating district's current market value of taxable real property as certified by the Pennsylvania State Tax Equalization Board. However, the District does not have an equity interest in NMTCC as defined by GASB Statement No. 14, except a residual interest in the net assets upon dissolution that should not be reflected on the basic financial statements. Complete financial statements for the NMTCC can be obtained from the NMTCC's administrative office at 1265 Sumneytown Pike, Landsdale, PA 19446.

Jointly Governed Organizations

Montgomery County Intermediate Unit

The School District is a participating member of the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit (MCIU). The MCIU is run by a joint committee consisting of members from each participating district. No participating district must approve the MCIU’s annual operating budget. The MCIU is a self-sustaining organization that provides services for fees to participating districts. As such, the District has no on-going financial interest or financial responsibility in the MCIU. The MCIU contracts with participating districts to supply special education services, computer, and acts as a conduit for certain federal programs.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

The financial statements of the District have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. On June 15, 1987, the GASB issued a codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards which, along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for governmental units. The School District also applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements and interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989, to its business-type activities and to its proprietary funds, provided they do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The more significant of these accounting policies are described below and, where appropriate, subsequent pronouncements will be referenced.

A. Basis of Presentation

The School District's basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including a statement of net assets, a statement of activities, and fund financial statements which provide a more detailed level of financial information.

Government-wide Financial Statements The statement of net assets and the statement of activities display information about the School District as a whole. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government, except for fiduciary funds. The statements distinguish between those activities of the School District that are governmental and those that are considered business-type activities.

The statement of net assets presents the financial condition of the governmental and business-type activities of the School District at year-end. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each program or function of the School District's governmental activities and for one business-type activity of the School District. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service, program or department and therefore clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program, grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program and interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a particular program. Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the School District, with certain limited exceptions. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each business activity or governmental function is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the School District.

Fund Financial Statements During the year, the School District segregates transactions related to certain School District functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial statements are designed to present financial information of the School District at this more detailed level. The focus of governmental and enterprise fund financial

statements is on major funds. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a single column. The fiduciary funds are reported by type.

B. Fund Accounting

The School District uses funds to maintain its financial records during the year. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self balancing set of accounts. There are three categories of funds: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.

Governmental Funds Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed. Governmental fund reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources. Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purposes for which they may or must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The difference between governmental fund assets and liabilities is reported as fund balance. The following are the School District's major governmental funds:

General Fund

The General Fund is the general operating fund of the School District. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Special Revenue Funds

The District has established a Capital Reserve Fund in accordance with the PA School Laws. This fund is used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources as outlined by school laws that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.

Capital Reserve Fund

This fund was created in accordance with Section 1432 of the Municipal Code. As such, the PA Department of Education has decided this fund should be classified as a major fund regardless of whether or not GASB’s major fund criteria are met.

Capital Project Funds

Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital equipment and facilities (other than those financed by the proprietary fund).

The District has the following Capital Project Funds:

a) 2005 AA Construction Fund

This fund received the proceeds of $47,430,965 from the issuance of $45,000,000 in General Obligation Bonds - Series of 2005. This fund also received the proceeds of $46,642,110 from the issuance of $46,920,000 in General Obligation Bonds – Series of 2007. The District will use the proceeds towards: (1) planning, designing, acquiring, constructing, furnishing and equipping alterations, additions, renovations and improvements to (a) New High School, (b) various existing school buildings and facilities of the school district; and (2) pay the costs of issuing the bonds.

b) Construction Fund

This fund’s remaining proceeds are being used to help finish the construction of a new high school.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009

Proprietary Funds Proprietary funds focus on the determination of changes in net assets, financial position and cash flows and are classified as enterprise funds.

Enterprise Funds Enterprise funds may be used to account for any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services. The School District's major enterprise fund is:

Food Service Fund - This fund accounts for the financial transactions related to the food service operations of the School District.

Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary funds reporting focuses on net assets and changes in net assets. The fiduciary fund category is split into four classifications: pension trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds and agency funds. Trust funds are used to account for assets held by the School District under a trust agreement for individuals, private organizations, or other governments and are therefore not available to support the School District's own programs. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.

C. Measurement Focus

Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of the School District are included on the statement of net assets.

Fund Financial Statements All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances reports on the sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) of current financial resources. This approach differs from the manner in which the governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore include reconciliations with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the government-wide statements and the statements for governmental funds.

Like the government-wide statements, all enterprise funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the statement of net assets. The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net assets presents increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in total net assets. The statement of cash flows provides information about how the School District finances and meets the cash flow needs of its enterprise activities.

D. Basis of Accounting

Basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Government funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary and fiduciary funds also use the accrual basis of accounting. Differences in the accrual and the modified accrual basis of accounting arise in the recognition of revenue, the recording of deferred revenue, and in the presentation of expenses versus expenditures.

Souderton Area School District Notes to Basic Financial Statements

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009

-41-

Revenues - Exchange and Non-Exchange Transactions. Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current fiscal year.

Non-exchange transactions, in which the School District receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the School District must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the School District on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized.

E. Budgetary Process

An operating budget is adopted prior to the beginning of each year for the General Fund on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The General Fund is the only fund for which a budget is legally required.

In accordance with Act 1 of 2006, the Board shall annually, but not later than the first business meeting of January, decide the budget option to be used for the following fiscal year. The Board shall approve either the Accelerated Budget Process Option or the Board Resolution Option.

Accelerated Budget Process Option

Under this option, a preliminary budget must be prepared 150 days prior to the primary election. Under this Option, the preliminary budget must be available for public inspection at least 110 days prior to the primary election. The Board shall give public notice of its intent to adopt the preliminary budget at least 10 days prior to the adoption. The adoption must occur at least 90 days prior to the primary election.

If the preliminary budget exceeds the increase authorized by the Index, an application for an exception may be filed with either a Court of Common Pleas with jurisdiction or PDE and made available for public inspection. The Board may opt to forego applying for an exception by submitting a referendum question seeking voter approval for a tax increase, in accordance with Act 1.

The final budget shall include any necessary changes from the adopted preliminary budget. Any reduction required as the result of the failure of referendum shall be clearly stated. The final budget shall be made available for public inspection at least 20 days prior to final adoption. The Board shall annually adopt the final budget by a majority vote of all members of the Board prior to June 30.

Board Resolution Option

Under the Board Resolution Option, the Board shall adopt a resolution that it will not raise the rate of any tax for the following fiscal year by more than the Index. Such resolution shall be adopted no later than 110 days prior to the primary election. At least 30 days prior to adoption of the final budget the Board shall prepare a proposed budget. The proposed budget shall be available for public inspection at least 20 days prior to adoption of the budget. The Board shall give public notice of its intent to adopt at least 10 days prior to adoption of the proposed budget. The Board shall annually adopt the final budget by a majority vote of all members of the Board by June 30.

Legal budgetary control is maintained at the sub-function/major object level. The PA School Code allows the School Board to make budgetary transfers between major function and major object codes only within the last nine months of the fiscal year, unless there is a two-thirds majority of the Board approving the transfer. Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal period. Budgetary information reflected in the financial statements is presented at or below the level of budgetary control and includes the effect of approved budget amendments.

The amounts reported as the original budgeted amounts in the budgetary statements reflect the amounts in the PDE 2028 when the original appropriations were adopted. The amounts reported as the final budgeted amounts in the budgetary statements reflect the amounts after all 2008-09 budget transfers.

Encumbrances

Any encumbrances outstanding at year-end do not represent GAAP expenditures or liabilities but represent budgetary accounting controls. The General Fund Budget is maintained on the modified accrual basis of accounting, except that budgetary basis expenditures include any encumbrances issued for goods or services not received at year-end and not terminated.

The actual results of operations are presented in accordance with GAAP and the District's accounting policies do not recognize encumbrances as expenditures until the period in which the goods or services are actually received and a liability is incurred. Any encumbrances are presented as a reservation for encumbrances on the balance sheet of the General Fund. If budgetary encumbrances exist at year-end, they are included in the fund financial statements to reflect actual revenues and expenditures on a budgetary basis consistent with the District's legally adopted budget.

F. Change in Accounting Principle

During this past fiscal year, the District was required to implement the provisions of GASB Statement No. 45 on Other Post Employment Benefits. The Net OPEB Obligation and disclosures are more fully explained in Note 5.

G. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

H. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Proprietary Fund type considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Investments

In accordance with GASB Statement 31, investments are stated at fair value, except:

a) Non-participating interest earning investment contracts are recorded at amortized cost;

b) Money market investments and participating interest earning investment contracts that mature within one year of acquisition are recorded at amortized cost; and,

c) Investments held in 2a7-like pools (Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust, Pennsylvania Treasurer's Invest Program), are recorded at the pool’s share price.

Souderton Area School District Notes to Basic Financial Statements

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009

-43-

Receivables and Payables

Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds". Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances".

Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.

Property Tax Levy

Property taxes, which were levied during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, are recognized as revenue in the fund financial statements when received by the District during the fiscal year and also estimated to be received by the District within sixty (60) days after the fiscal year ended.

Property taxes that were levied during the current fiscal year, which are not estimated to be received within sixty (60) days after the fiscal year-end, are recorded as receivable and deferred revenue in the fund financial statements.

In the government-wide financial statements, all property taxes levied during the fiscal year are recognized as revenue, net of estimated uncollectible amount.

Inventories

On government-wide financial statements, inventories are to be presented at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis, and are expensed when used. As of June 30, 2009, there was $98,118 in inventory shown on the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net assets and $143,417 is shown as inventory in the business-type activities column of the government-wide statement of net assets.

Inventory type items in governmental funds utilize the purchase method, that is, they are charged to expenditures when purchased. There was no physical inventory taken as of June 30, 2009; therefore, there is no offsetting reservation of fund balance in the General Fund.

Inventory type items in Proprietary Funds use the consumption method, in which items are purchased for inventory and charged to expenses when used. The only Proprietary Fund of the District is the Food Service Fund. Inventory within this fund includes donated commodities, which are valued at U.S.D.A.'s approximate costs. Inventories on hand at June 30, 2009, consist of:

Donated Commodities 100,646$

Purchased Food 15,278 Purchased Supplies 27,493

TOTAL 143,417$

Prepaid Expenses

In both the government-wide and fund financial statements, prepaid expense are recorded as assets in the specific governmental fund in which future benefits will be derived.

Capital Assets

General capital assets are those assets not specifically related to activities reported in the proprietary funds. These assets generally result from expenditures in the governmental funds. These assets are reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net assets, but are not reported in the fund financial statements. Capital assets utilized by the enterprise funds are reported both in the business-type activities column of the government-wide statement of net assets and in the respective funds.

All capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and retirements during the year. Donated fixed assets are recorded at their fair market values as of the date received. The School District maintains a capitalization threshold of four thousand ($4,000) dollars. The School District does not possess any infrastructure. Improvements are capitalized; the costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset's life are not. Interest incurred during the construction of capital assets utilized by the enterprise funds is also capitalized.

All reported capital assets, except land, certain land improvements, and construction in progress are depreciated. Improvements are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Description

Governmental Activities

Estimated Lives

Business-Type Activities

Estimated Lives Buildings and Improvements 10 -50 years 10 - 50 years Furniture and Equipment 5 - 20 years 5 -20 years Vehicles 8 years 8 years

Compensated Absences

The School District reports compensated absences in accordance with the provisions of GASB No. 16, "Accounting for Compensated Absences". Vacation benefits are accrued as a liability as the benefits are earned if the employees' rights to receive compensation are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that the School District will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid time off or some other means.

Sick leave benefits are accrued as a liability using the termination method. An accrual for earned sick leave is made to the extent that it is probable that benefits will result in termination payments. The liability is an estimate based on the School District's past experience of making termination payments.

The entire compensated absence liability is reported on the government-wide financial statements.

For governmental funds, the current portion of unpaid compensated absences is the amount that is normally expected to be paid using expendable available financial resources. In enterprise funds, the entire amount of compensated absences is reported as a fund liability.

Long-Term Obligations

In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, bond issuance costs, and deferred amounts on refundings are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using modification of the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond

Souderton Area School District Notes to Basic Financial Statements

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009

-45-

premium or discount and any deferred amount on refundings. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources while discounts and premiums on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses and other financing sources, respectively. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as support service expenditures.

Reclassification

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2009, presentation of government-wide financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting versus the governmental fund financial statements reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Net Assets

Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by a higher governmental authority or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.

The School District applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available.

Fund Balance Reserves

The School District reserves those portions of fund equity which are legally segregated for specific future use or which do not represent available expendable resources and therefore are not available for appropriations for expenditures. Unreserved fund balance indicates that portion of fund equity which is available for appropriation in future periods.

Contributions of Capital

Contributions of capital in proprietary fund financial statements arise from outside contributions of fixed assets, or from grants or outside contributions of resources restricted to capital acquisition and construction. The proprietary funds received no capital contributions during this fiscal year.

Note 3 - Reconciliation of government-wide and fund financial statements

A. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet and the government-wide statement of net assets.

The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between "fund balance -total governmental funds" and "net assets - governmental activities" as reported in the government-wide statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains that "long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds". The details of this $124,957,558 differences are:

B. Explanation of Differences between Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances and the Statement of Activities

Due to the differences in the measurement focus and basis of accounting used on the government fund statements and district-wide statements certain financial transactions are treated differently. The basic financial statements contain a full reconciliation of these items. Differences between the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance and the statement of activities fall into one of three broad categories. The amounts shown in the columns on the following page represent:

a) Long-term revenue differences arise because governmental funds report revenues only when they are considered "available", whereas the statement of activities reports revenues when earned. Differences in long-term expenses arise because governmental funds report on a modified accrual basis whereas the accrual basis of accounting is used on the statement of activities. The long-term expenses reported below recognize the change in vested employee benefits.

b) Capital related differences include (1) the difference between proceeds for the sale of capital assets reported on governmental fund statements and the gain or loss on the sale of assets as reported on the statement of activities, and (2) the difference between recording an expenditure for the purchase of capital items in the governmental fund statements, and capitalization and recording of depreciation expense on those items as recorded in the statement of activities.

c) Long-term debt transaction differences occur because long-term debt proceeds are recorded as revenue and both interest and principal payments are recorded as expenditures in the governmental fund statements. In the statement of activities, long-term debt proceeds are recorded as a liability; principal payments are recorded as a reduction of liabilities.

Note 4 - Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability

A. Compliance with finance related legal and contractual provisions The District has no material violations of finance related legal and contractual provisions.

B. Deficit fund balance or net assets of individual funds No individual fund contains a deficit fund balance or net assets at June 30, 2009, except the Athletic Fund has a $8,383 deficit.

C. Excess of expenditures over appropriations in individual funds

No individual fund, which had a legally adopted budget, had an excess of expenditures over appropriations, except the General Fund ‘s expenditures exceeded appropriations by $1,787,909 as a result of transfers made to other funds and excess debt service payments,. In accordance with the PA Department of Education, this is not considered a violation of the PA School Code, as amended.

D. Budgetary compliance

The District's only legally adopted budget is for the General Fund. All budgetary transfers were made within the last nine months of the fiscal year. The District cancels all purchase orders open at year-end; therefore, it does not have any outstanding encumbrances at June 30, 2009. In addition, the District includes a portion of the prior year's fund balance represented by unappropriated liquid assets remaining in the fund as budgeted revenue in the succeeding year. The results of operations on a GAAP basis do not recognize the fund balance allocation as revenue as it represents prior period's excess of revenues over expenditures.

Note 6 - Risk Management

The District is subject to risk of loss from employee acts, property damage, personal injury, auto accidents, theft, etc. The District covers those risks through the purchase of commercial insurance. The Souderton Area School district is a participating member of a Workers’ Compensation Consortium. The Consortium is comprised of 81 member School districts which jointly self-assume their workers’ compensation liabilities. Each District is required to make contributions to the Consortium based on formulae set forth in the contract. Each member school district individually retains sole liability up to a retention level, which is fixed annually by multiplying its Experience Modification Factor times the last audited fiscal year payroll of the member. The result is then multiplied by a contribution rate, which is the same for all members. Even though the member school districts contribute to a central fund, they remain individually liable for any workers’ compensation claims.

Above the level of retention, the Consortium pays claims up to the level of coverage of $100,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009, provided by an excess insurance policy. Claims above the maximum coverage of excess insurance are paid by the members of the Consortium through additional assessments against members.

The members of the Consortium are required to participate in deficiencies and are subject to periodic assessments by the Executive Committee, as required.

At June 30, 2009, the most recent available financial statements, the consortium did not have a deficit, in which the ultimate responsibility to pay for a deficit belongs to the member districts.

Note 8 - Net Asset Restrictions

The portion of net assets for governmental activities, shown on the government-wide statement of net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt is $56,794,592. The governmental activities column has $295,213 restricted for federal grants. The business-type activities column reflects $793,037 invested in capital assets with no related debt.

Note 9 - Contingencies

Grants

The School District received financial assistance from federal and state agencies in the form of grants. The expenditure of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with terms and a condition specified in the grant agreements, and is subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the general fund, or other applicable funds. However, in the opinion of management any such disallowed claims will not have a material adverse effect on the overall financial position of the School District as of June 30, 2009.

Litigation

In accordance with management, there are no legal matters that could materially affect the financial position of the District as of June 30, 2009.
