The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the District’s financial performance as a whole. Readers should also review the transmittal letter, notes to the financial statements and financial statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is an element of the new reporting model adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in their Statement Number 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments issued June 1999. Comparative information between the current year and the prior year is required to be presented in the MD&A. - FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The trends of prior years reflect significant increases in the costs for special education instruction, charter school tuitions, student transportation, debt service and benefits for our employees and this continued in the 2005-06 year. In the budgeting process, the Board of School Directors was able to balance the budget with a 77 mill increase ($77 per $1,000 of assessed value) to the taxpayers within Chester County. • • The District’s total net assets were $27,775,897 at June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $4,073,588 from last year. The District’s General Fund total revenue increased by $8,404,589 or 5.4%. Property taxes, which include current and interim real estate taxes, increased by $7,543,635 or 7.3%. Real estate transfer tax collections increased by $493,91 5, earned income collections increased by $665,828 and, as a result of higher interest rates, the District experienced an increase in investment revenue of $1,314,816. On a Government-Wide Basis, compared to the prior year, the District’s expenses increased by $10,341,417, an increase of 6.6%. Major increases by category include salaries, which increased by $2,562,801, employee benefits, which increased by $1,638,862, charter school tuition, which increased by $385,354, other tuition costs, which increased by $284,607, pupil transportation (excluding salary and benefits), which increased by $809,881 and interest expense on debt, which increased by $2,108,062. Included in the change in other tuition costs is an increase of $336,807 in tuitions paid to approved private schools and PRRIs for special education children. • OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GASB Statement Number 34 and present both government-wide and fund level financial statements using both the accrual basis and modified accrual basis of accounting, respectively. (Dainer ~ \JAprofesolorlalCorporation CerafledPub~cAcc~untantu -4- &Compawv WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Management’s Discussion and Analysj~ June 30, 2006 Government-Wide Financial Statements 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. - 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 non-financial factors, such as changes in the District’s property tax base and the performance of the students. 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 and students to cover the costs of the food service operation. - Fund Level Financial Statements 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 the District’s general 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. • 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. Governmental funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the 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. ~“Dainer CertIfied Public Accountants Business Consultants WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Management’s Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 Fund Level Financial Statements (Continued) • Proprietary Funds These funds are used to account for 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 t 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 businesstype activities we report in the government-wide statements. - • Fiduciary Funds The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for some scholarship funds. All of the District’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets. We exclude these activities from the District’s other financial statements because the District cannot use these assets to finance its operations. - The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS - The District’s total net assets were $27,775,897 at June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $3,966,384 over last year.

The increase in the Instruction and Support Services areas can be attributed mainly to increases in the costs of staff salaries and benefits, as well as costs associated with charter school tuitions and special education services. Instruction and Instructional Support Services employee salaries increased by 2.5% or $1,570,647. The employee benefits program offered by the District to the Instruction and Instructional Support Services personnel increased by 6.6% or $1,323,172.

Transportation costs for public, non-public and special education students increased $837,247 or 8%. There was an increase in debt service in the amount of $3,244,905 or 19.60% over the prior year. The increase in other financing uses represents a transfer to the capital reserve fund of $742,047, transfers of $271,067 to the debt service fund in connection with the refinancing of debt and refunds of prior year receipts of $6,927. Capital Projects Fund At June 30, 2006, the District reported a fund balance of $47,694,867 which is a decrease of $13,229,639 over June 30, 2005. The components of the change in fund balance include revenues from debt proceeds in the amount of $35,000,000, interest income in the amount of $3,016,538, expenditures for capital projects in the amount of $47,455,471, capitalized interest in the amount of $813,231 and transfers to the capital reserve fund in the amount of $2,977,475. Capital Reserve Fund At June 30, 2006, the District reported a fund balance of $16,040,880, which is an increase of $3,124,491 over June 30, 2005.

GENERAL FUND BUDGET During the fiscal year, the Board of School Directors 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. This is done after the end of the fiscal year in accordance with state law. A schedule showing the District’s original and final budget amounts compared with amounts actually paid and received is provided in the financial statements. To balance the budget, the District utilized its entire anticipated fund balance from the previous year in the amount of $7,456,567. The differences in the 2005-06 expenses and revenues compared to the budget resulted in an overall positive variance of $7,963,525. Total revenues exceeded budgeted amounts by $2,961,038 or 1.8% of budgeted revenue. The positive revenue budget variances by category include earned income taxes in the amount of $804,485, realty transfer taxes in the amount of $1,197,701, interest earnings in the amount of $1,000,385 and state subsidies in the amount of $30,771. There was a negative budget variance in the federal revenue in the amount of $241,372, the majority of which is attributable to Title I revenues. Total expenditures were under budget by $4,723,600 or 2.6% of budgeted expenditures. The District’s amended budget included $2,444,237 in budgetary reserve. The budgetary reserve includes amounts for funding operating contingencies, such as unpredictable change in the cost of goods and services and the occurrence of events which are vaguely perceptible during the time of the budget process, but which, nonetheless, may require expenditures by the District during the year of operation. ~~Company “Dainer A Professional Corporation Certified Public Accountants Business Consultants -11- _______________________ WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT _________________________________________________________ Mana gement’s Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 CAPITAL ASSETS At June 30, 2006, the District had $283,125,289 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 $40,613,255 or 16.7% from last year. The net increase is attributed to the renovation and expansion of secondary school facilities. The following schedule depicts the change in capital assets for the period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. During this period, the District had the following significant additions in capital assets.

New debt resulted from the issuance of General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2006 in the amount of $35,000,000, to be utilized for secondary school construction projects. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the District converted variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and refinanced debt issues at lower rates. Based on a projection of future debt margins, the retirement of principal on current issues and estimated future borrowing, we are certain that the District will not exceed its debt limit.

THE DISTRICT’S FUTURE The District will experience minimal enrollment growth over the next five years. Over the last 15 years, the District has renovated and expanded 8 elementary schools including Pennwood, East Bradford, Westtown-Thornbury, Fern Hill, Exton, East Goshen, Mary C. Howse, and Glen Acres; renovated the Spellman Administration Building; constructed Sarah W. Starkweather Elementary School; constructed the new Peirce and Stetson Middle Schools; constructed the new warehouse; and completed numerous maintenance projects throughout the District. The District also completed the infrastructure for the District-Wide Area Network. (Dainer ‘1% ~ \j~~rot’essiona~orporation c Cert4e~PubhcAccoutstants -14_____________ WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Management’s Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 THE DISTRICT’S FUTURE (Continued) The District will need additional financing based on future approved and proposed projects listed on the May 2006 Capital Projects update. Major approved projects to be completed over the next year include: the completion of the Bayard Rustin High School, scheduled to open in September 2006, the renovation and additions to Henderson High School, which include the construction of Henderson High School off-campus athletic fields, the renovations as well as the construction of a new gymnasium and athletic fields at East High School. In addition the District will renovate Fugett Middle School over the next few years. In addition, proposed projects are included for the Spellman Administration Building and for the District’s facility maintenance program. Total project expenditures are estimated to be $143.7 million over the next seven years. As of the May 2006 financing update, the District will need an additional $51.1 million to finance the remainder of our active projects as well as our approved capital projects. STRATEGIC PLAN In June 2002, the West Chester Area School District adopted a new strategic plan that has focused our purpose and resources. A team of 27 visionary School Board members, administrators, teachers, parents, community members, senior citizens and business leaders assembled to create the following six strategies: • • • • • We will develop and implement plans to accommodate change and provide an effective learning environment through careful facility planning. We will develop a system to recruit, retain, evaluate and develop high-quality staff. We will complete the development of assessments to measure student mastery of local, state and national standards and ensure instruction is aligned with those standards. We will identify, teach and model the character traits and behaviors for everyone to become responsible, respectful, contributing citizens in our diverse school community. We will effectively use technology throughout the District for communication, decision-making and the teaching/learning process. We will develop a system to identify, communicate and report student needs among parents, caregivers and staff to ensure appropriate access to services and programs. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Our financial report is designed to provide our citizens, taxpayers, parents, students, investors and creditors with a general overview of the District’s finances and to show the Board’s accountability for the money it receives.

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 $47,636,669 exceed depreciation expense $7,051,970 in the period Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the 40,584,699 141,859,137 District’s fiscal year ends, they are not considered “available” revenues and are deferred in the governmental funds. Deferred tax revenues decreased by this amount this year In the statement of activities, certain operating expenses compensated absences (vacations) and special termination benefits (severance) are measured by the amounts earned during the year. In the governmental funds, however, expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of - (568,682) financial resources used (essentially, the amounts actually paid). This year, vacation leave exceeded the amounts paid by $221,338 and severance earned exceeded the amounts used by $14,847 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.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations). Governments are also required to follow the pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued through November 30, 1989 (when applicable) that do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. Although the School District has the option to apply FASB pronouncements issued after that date to its business-type activities and enterprise funds, the School District has chosen not to do so. The more significant accounting policies established in GAAP and used by the School District are discussed below. The School District adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements-and Management’s Discussion and Analysis-For State and Local Governments; Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements-and Management’s Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments.’ Omnibus; and Interpretation No. 6, Recognition and Measurement of Certain Liabilities and Expenditures in Governmental Fund Financial Statements, as of July 1, 2001. Certain of the significant changes in the Statement include the following: • The financial statements include: • • Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section providing an analysis of the School District’s overall financial position and results of operations. Financial statements prepared using full accrual accounting for all of the School District’s activities. • A change in the fund financial statements to focus on the major funds. These and other changes are reflected in the accompanying financial statements (including notes to financial statements). A. Reporting Entity The School District is governed by an elected Board of Directors. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that the financial statements present the School District and its component units, entities for which the School District is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the School District’s operations and so data from these units are required to be combined with data of the primary School District. Each discretely presented component unit, on the other hand, is required to be reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize it is legally separate from the School District. Based on the application of these principles, there are no component units presented in the School District’s financial statements. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the School District and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. (Darner ~ \JA -27- &Company Professional Corporation Certified Public Accountants Business Consultants WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT N ~ ~ F’ ~rtri~lSt t June 30, 2006 NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued) The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the School District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only a portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the School District. The School District reports the following major government funds: General Fund The General Fund is the School District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. - Capital Projects Fund The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital assets other than those financed by enterprise operations. - (Dainer ~J~Company A Professional Corporation Certified Public Accountants BusinessConsultants ‘ -28_______________________ WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT xl + + I i. + I Ot~Sto lnancta ca ements June 30, 2006 ‘ NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) - C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Capital Reserve Fqg,~. The Capital Reserve Fund is used to account for proceeds of specific - revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for future capital projects. The School District reports the following major proprietary funds: Food Service Fund The Food Service Fund (an Enterprise Fund) is used to account for the operations of the School District’s school cafeterias that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise where the intent of the governing body is that the cost of providing goods or services to the school population on a continuing basis will be recovered or financed primarily through user charges. - Additionally, the School District reports the following fund types: Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the School District in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. These include private-purpose trust funds and agency funds. Privatepurpose trust funds account for resources, including both principal and earnings, which must be expended in accordance with a trust agreement, and are accounted for in essentially the same manner as proprietary funds. Agency funds are purely custodial and thus do not involve measurement of the results of operations. - Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989 generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. School districts also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The School District has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Food Service Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. For purposes of the statements of cash flows of proprietary funds, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the’School District’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. (Dainer Profeusional corporation Certifled Pubfl~Accountants -29- WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Eguity Deposits and Investments Under Section 440.1 of the Public School Code of 1949, as amended, the School District is permitted to invest funds consistent with sound business practices in the following types of investments: Obligations of (a) the United States of America or any of its agencies or instrumentalities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, (b) the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any of its agencies or instrumentalities backed by the full faith and credit of the Commonwealth, or (c) any political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any of its agencies or instrumentalities backed by the full faith and credit of the political subdivision. Deposits in savings accounts or time deposits or share accounts of institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation to the extent that such accounts are so insured and, for any amounts above the insured maximum, provided that approved collateral as provided by law therefore shall be pledged by the depository. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported 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. All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of any allowance for uncollectibles. There is no property tax receivable allowance at June 30, 2006. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of July 1. Taxes are levied on July 1 and payable in the following periods: Discount Period July 1 to August 31 2% of Gross Levy Flat Period September 1 to October 31 Penalty Period November 1 to Collection 10% of Gross Levy - Inventories All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Inventories in the governmental funds represent supplies received in June for the next school year and are recorded as inventory in both government-wide and fund financial statements. (Dainer ~J,,’t Company & \JA Professional Corporation Cer~fied Pubkc Accountants -30- WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued) Inventories (Continued) Inventories in the Food Service Fund consists of government-donated commodities which were valued at estimated fair market value at donation, and purchased commodities and supplies, both valued at cost using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the School District as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets’ lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during construction is not capitalized. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20-40 Years 20 Years 3-10 Years Land Improvements Furniture and Equipment Compensated Absences It is the School District’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the School District does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from service with the School District. Compensated absences are generally liquidated by the General Fund. School District employees who are required to work on a twelve-month schedule are credited with vacation at rates which vary with length of service or job classification. Vacation must be taken in the year subsequent to when it was earned. If separation of service occurs in the year subsequent to earning, then the unused balance of what was earned in the prior year is paid at separation. The liability at June 30 represents vacation earned at that date that will be taken in the subsequent year. Accrued Severance Pay Administrative, Instructional, Secretarial and Support personnel that have completed at least fifteen years of credited School District service that retire under the normal PSERS guidelines, receive severance pay in the form of compensation. Administrative personnel receive $300 for each year of service in the District. Instructional personnel receive $200 for each year of service in the District. Secretarial and Support personnel receive $250 for each year of service in the District. Severance pay is generally liquidated by the General Fund. (Dainer ~fl & Company -31- Professional Corporation Certified Pubflc Accountants WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements ~02006 NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) - 0. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued) 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, business-type activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. 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. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Fund Equity In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. NOTE 2 Budgetary Information - Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. An annual appropriated budget is adopted for the general fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. Project-length financial plans are adopted for all capital projects funds. The School District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: 1. The Business Manager submits to the School Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Public hearings are conducted at the School District offices to obtain taxpayer comments. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. 2. 3. (Dainer -32- ‘J~Company A Professional Corporation certified :ubuc Accountants _______________________ WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 NOTE 2 - ~,j etsjn(o!matjcn (Continued) The Business Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the School Board.

NOTE 3 Deposits and Investments - Deposits At year end, the total carrying amount of the School District’s checking, savings and money market deposits was $1,820,857, and the corresponding bank balance was $2,955,747. - Custodial Credit Risk Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the School District’s deposits may not be returned to it. The School District does not have a policy for custodial credit risk. Of the bank balance, $100,000 was covered by federal depository insurance. The remaining balances were uninsured and covered by collateral held by the institution’s trust department on a pooled basis not in the name of the School District. - Investments The School District investments are categorized as either (1) insured and registered or securities are held by the School District or its agent in the School District’s name, (2) uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty’s trust department or agent in the School District’s name, or (3) uninsured and unregistered with securities held by the counterparty, or by its trust department or agent but not in the School District’s name. - Investments All funds in the Pennsylvania School District Liquid Asset Fund, Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust, and Pennsylvania Treasurer’s Investment Program are invested in accordance with Section 440.1 of the School Code. These funds operate and are authorized under the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1 972. Each school district owns a prorata share of each investment or deposit which is held in the name of the Fund. Certificates of deposit or other fixed-term investments purchased by the School District through the Fund’s administrator are purchased in the name of the School District. - Custodial Credit Risk Investments For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the School District will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral security that are in the possession of an outside party. The School District has no investment subject to custodial credit risk. - (Dainer ~JAProfesoional ‘1% &Comvany corporation Cer5fiedPubhcAccountants -33- WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 NOTE 3 Deposits and Investments (Continued) - The School District’s investments at June 30, 2006 consisted of the following: Pooled Investments: Pennsylvania School District Liquid Asset Fund: General Fund Accounts Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust: Capital Project Fund Account Pennsylvania Treasurer’s Investment Program: General Fund Account Capital Project Fund Account Food Service Fund Account TOTAL Certificate of Deposit: General Fund Accounts TOTAL POOLED INVESTMENTS 313,141 69,400,113 17,302,600 3,806,454 746,079 1,855,133 1,838,000 $ 93,406,387 NOTE 4 Taxes Receivable - Taxes receivable as of year end for the School District’s individual major funds and nonmajor fiduciary funds in the aggregate, including the applicable allowances for uncollectible accounts, are as follows: Nonmaj or and Other Funds General Real Estate Taxes Transfer Taxes Earned Income Taxes Less: Allowance for Uncollectibles NET TAXES RECEIVABLE $1,924,605 554,856 94,732 0 Total $1,924,605 554,856 94,732 0 $2,574,193 $ 0 0 0 0 0 ______ $ 2,574,193 $ (Dainer - 34 - ‘j~Company A Professional Corporation Certified Public Accountants Buuineas Consultants _______________________ WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements ~02006 NOTE 4 Taxes Receivable (Continued) - Governmental funds report deferred revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are not considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
