Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the Town of Fountain Hills for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the Town of Fountain Hills. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the Town of Fountain Hills has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Town of Fountain Hills’ financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Town of Fountain Hills’ comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The Town of Fountain Hills’ financial statements have been audited by Clifton Larson Allen LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Town of Fountain Hills for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Town of Fountain Hills’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Town of Fountain Hills’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. ( ) 2 Town of Fountain Hills Profile The Town of Fountain Hills is a planned, family-oriented community established in 1970 by McCulloch Properties (now MCO Properties, Inc.). Prior to 1970, the area was a cattle ranch and was part of one of the largest land and cattle holdings in Arizona. The land was purchased by Robert McCulloch in the late 1960s and designed by Charles Wood, Jr. (designer of Disneyland in southern California). The centerpiece of Fountain Hills is one of the world's tallest man-made fountains, a focal point that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Located on 13,006 acres of land, and bordering northeast Scottsdale, Fountain Hills is surrounded by the 3,500-foot McDowell Mountains on the west, the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation on the east, the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community on the south and by the McDowell Mountain Regional Park on the north. Elevation is 1,520 feet at the fountain, 3,000 feet on Golden Eagle Boulevard, and is 500 feet above Phoenix. Over the past twenty-three years, Fountain Hills has grown from 10,190 residents to a town of approximately 22,500 based on the 2010 census. On June 5, 2006 the Town of Fountain Hills became twenty square miles and about ten percent larger by annexing 1,300 acres of State Trust Land. The process to annex the State Trust Land occurred over a two and one-half year period and development of the land will occur over the next decade. Annexing this property into the Town ensures that its future development will be of the highest quality under such Town’s standards as the cut-and-fill ordinance and strict zoning regulations. Fountain Hills will have an opportunity to demonstrate that it is truly the best place to live in the Valley. The Town offers a range of living styles, from small community subdivisions to a number of large custom homes. Fountain Hills also offers recreational, cultural and retirement programs that address the needs and lifestyles of active families and adults. The community consists of primarily residential property; of the total 20.32 square miles of land only 2.6% of the total is zoned commercial and/or industrial, 23.0% is reserved as open space and 51.3% is residential. The Town’s Mission Statement for the Organization The Town of Fountain Hills’ purpose is to serve the best interests of the community by: providing for its safety and well-being; respecting its special, small-town character and quality of life; providing superior public services; sustaining the public trust through open and responsive government; and maintaining the stewardship and preservation of its financial and natural resources. To serve and respect, and provide trust and stewardship. (3) The Town of Fountain Hills is an Arizona Municipal Corporation, acting as a general law Town as prescribed in the Arizona Revised Statutes. The Town was incorporated on December 5, 1989, with the governmental and administrative affairs of the Town operating under the Council-Manager form of government. The Town Council is responsible, among other things, for the adoption of local ordinances, budget adoption, the development of citizen advisory committees and hiring the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for implementation of the policies of the Town Council and administering the Town’s operations through three department directors and approximately 50 FTE employees. The Judge, Town Attorney and Town Prosecutor are under the direction of the Town Council. The Town provides or administers a full range of services including public safety (law enforcement, fire, animal control, building inspection); development services (code enforcement, planning, zoning and public works); the construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure, municipal court, recreational activities, community center, senior center and cultural events. The Town does not maintain utility or other operations that require the establishment of enterprise funds. The financial reporting entity (the Town) includes all the funds of the primary government (i.e., the Town of Fountain Hills as legally defined) as well as all of its component units. The component units consist of legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the primary government’s operations and are included as part of the primary government. Accordingly, the Cottonwoods Maintenance District, Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District and Fountain Hills Municipal Property Corporation are included in the financial reports of the Town. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Town of Fountain Hills’ financial planning and control. The Town Council formally adopts the budget and legally allocates, or appropriates, available monies for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Projects Fund. Therefore, these funds have appropriated budgets, and budget to actual information is presented. On or before the second meeting in April, the Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The Town Council is then required to hold public hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than June 30, the close of the Town of Fountain Hills’ fiscal year. The budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance and is prepared by fund and department. The ordinance sets the limit for expenditures during the fiscal year. The Town Manager may authorize transfers from and within personnel and from operating capital to services or supplies within a department. Additional expenditures may be authorized for expenditures directly necessitated by a natural or man-made disaster as prescribed in the State Constitution, Article 9, Section 20. Fountain Hills Town Hall ( ) 4 Factors Affecting Financial Condition The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the Town of Fountain Hills operates. Local Economy. The great recession appears to be recovering modestly in Fountain Hills; this is indicated by the local sales tax receipts in retail and restaurant categories. While retail activity has remained consistent with prior years the restaurant/bar activity has jumped 12% over the prior year which we interpret as a leading indicator of a rebounding economy. The Town of Fountain Hills’ local tax revenue base consists of two major tax categories, the most significant being retail sales and transportation/communication/utilities (construction was a third significant category in prior years). The chart below is a look at the past three years’ local sales tax activity by sector: As can be seen in the chart on the left sales tax collections continue to show signs of moderate growth. Retail sales experienced less than 1% increase over the prior year; restaurant/bar revenues have exceeded prior years and had an increase of 12% from FY11-12. Construction sales tax, a one-time revenue source, is driven entirely by development activity in the community and decreased 7% over the prior year; recent building permit activity indicates that construction sales tax is likely to increase over the next two years. Transportation/communication tax revenues remain flat. Construction activity provides revenue to the Town through local sales tax, the proceeds of which are utilized for capital expenditures. Without the resources to fund capital projects the Town must find additional funds to pay for necessary infrastructure projects. For operating costs the Town is dependent upon state shared revenues and local sales tax as a major source of operating revenue, accounting for 90% of total General Fund revenue for fiscal year 2012-13. State shared revenues are derived as a proportionate share of state sales, income and vehicle license taxes which are distributed based on the Town’s population compared to all other incorporated cities and towns in Arizona (currently 0.045%). State shared income tax revenue category is based on two years prior personal and corporate earnings; from FY09-10 through FY11-12 the Town lost 53% of this revenue source ($1.7M or 13% of the General Fund operating budget). However, the revenue from the State income tax increased by 19% in FY12-13 and is anticipated to increase another 11% for FY13- 14. After a 16% decrease in State sales tax from FY08-09 through FY11-12 this revenue has recovered with a 7% increase in FY12-13 and anticipated to increase another 3% in FY13-14. Other local activity has remained fairly level during the recessionary period due to the lack of major retailers (the Town has three grocery stores and one major retailer). Fountain Hills is past the historic period of rapid growth and the long-term economic outlook for the Town must recognize this fact. The opportunity to further expand the retail tax base in Fountain Hills is limited by the lack of available commercial land – 72% of the currently available commercial lots are already developed. ( ) 5 Development Activity over the past year: Development Services has been involved with the following development activities during fiscal year 2012-13 Two Concept Plans were approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission during the period: J&D Auto Sales Prevco Subsea Housings Three Special Use Permits were granted: AT&T Cell Tower at Presbyterian Church Prevco Subsea Housings (pending) Three Temporary Use Permits were issued during the period: Halloween Carnival Sofritas Outdoor Seating & Dancing K-Group Development Twenty-one new Single-Family Residential Building Permits were issued. One new Commercial Building Permit was issued: FH Water & Ice There were thirty-two commercial tenant improvement permits issued during the last fiscal year that indicate that Fountain Hills is still a desirable place to locate a business.

Potential for State legislative impacts to revenue-sharing or local revenues and additional demands for essential Town services remain. The Town’s financial policies set forth guidelines against which current budgetary performance can be measured and proposals for future programs can be evaluated. ( ) 6 In early 2009, the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission began the process of gathering public input to update the Strategic Plan’s vision, confirm residents’ values, and create a fresh structure for the Strategic Plan revision. Subsequently, Strategic Plan 2010 is built upon the foundation of a clearly defined vision statement and eight key values, with specific indicators to evaluate Council and staff priorities. Based on citizen input, the Strategic Plan is designed to guide our future decisions grounded on these common values: 1. Civility 2. Civic Responsibility 3. Environmental Stewardship 4. Economic Vitality 5. Education, Learning and Culture 6. Maintain and Improve Community Infrastructure 7. Public Safety, Health and Welfare 8. Recreational Opportunities and Amenities These values guide the Town’s annual budget process. The Fountain Hills Town Council maintains a fund balance policy that ensures adequate reserves that will provide financial stability in the event of an unanticipated economic downturn. The policy was amended in FY08-09 to include the establishment of a Rainy Day Fund beginning in FY09-10. In FY11- 12 the Town adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 which changed how governments report fund balance. The overall principal and goal of GASB No. 54 is to report governmental fund balances based on a hierarchy that shows, from the highest to the lowest, the level or form of constraints on fund balance, and accordingly, the extent to which governments are bound to honor them: 1. Nonspendable – The initial distinction that is made in reporting fund balance information is identifying amounts that are considered nonspendable, such as fund balance associated with inventories or prepaids. In Fountain Hills this classification would apply to our inventory and prepaid items. 2. Restricted – The restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external reporting providers, or through enabling legislation. In Fountain Hills this classification would apply to Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF), Development Fees, the Grant/Special Revenue Fund and the Debt Service Fund. 3. Committed – The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government’s highest level of decision- making authority. In Fountain Hills this classification would apply to the Rainy Day Fund, Excise/Downtown Development Fund, and any General Fund surplus. 4. Assigned – Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In Fountain Hills this classification would apply to the current Public Art funds as well as assignments for ongoing capital projects and equipment replacement. ( ) 7 5. Unassigned – The unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the government’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification should be used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed, or assigned. In Fountain Hills this classification would be any residual balance of monies not contained in any of the other classifications. The fund balance amounts will not be programmed for expenditure and are only available for use within the confines of expenditure limitations imposed by the State. A Capital Projects Fund has been created and is funded with proceeds from excess revenues collected over budget and any unexpended appropriations not needed to meet fund balance requirements or re-appropriation. The Council also adopted financial policies that include guidelines for the issuance of debt for capital expenditures, Community Facility Districts, financing alternatives, expenditure controls and financial planning. The policy was amended during fiscal year 2009-10 to reduce the allocation of the local construction sales tax to the Capital Projects Fund from 85% to 50%, reflecting the transition from one- time building activity to ongoing redevelopment activity. The debt policy was prepared with a preference for “pay-as-you-go” financing for capital spending, however, the policy did not anticipate the lack of funding for capital projects and bond funding is being reconsidered. Major Initiatives The Town of Fountain Hills’ adopted FY2012-13 budget reflects the continued recession in the local economy as well as an 8% decline in population resulting from the 2010 census, which is also mirrored at the national and state levels. Due to the challenging current economic conditions, the Town has made significant reductions in staff and service levels. This was accomplished by a thorough assessment of all existing and proposed programs and workload; as a result Town staffing was reduced from 81 to 56 FTE’s (full time equivalents) over the last three years. The Town Council established priorities for FY13-14 of which the top two are Economic Development and Pavement Management. In order to operationalize the Pavement Management program the Council approved the use of Vehicle License Tax revenues to be dedicated to annual pavement maintenance with an effective date of July 1, 2013. Economic Development initiatives are funded through a new dedicated local sales tax which provides funding for business attraction, retention and expansion. AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Awards. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Town of Fountain Hills for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. This was the sixteenth consecutive year that the government has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both GAAP and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only.

( ) 8 In addition, the government also received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the government’s budget document was judged to be proficient in several categories, including as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. This is the twelfth consecutive year that the Town has received the award. An investment policy was adopted and was awarded the Investment Policy Certification from the Association of Public Treasurers of United States and Canada. Acknowledgements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Town’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona (13) Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position and the budgetary comparison schedules of the General Fund and HURF Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of a Matter The prior year financial statements were restated due to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, which resulted in a change in accounting principle. A summary of the restatement is presented in Note 3.E. The auditors’ opinion was not modified with respect to the restatement. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management’s discussion and analysis on pages 15 - 25 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Town’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules and the introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules is the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona (14) The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (16) OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Town’s basic financial statements. The Town’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Town’s finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. The accrual basis of accounting is used for the government-wide financial statements. The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Town’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the Town’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused compensated absences). The government-wide financial statements outline functions of the Town that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The governmental activities of the Town include general government, public safety, highways and streets, culture and recreation, development services, and interest on long-term debt. Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town are included in the governmental funds. Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements use the modified accrual basis of accounting and focus on near-term inflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the Town’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the Town’s near-term financing decision. Both the governmental fund balances sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (17) Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Highway Users Revenue Fund (HURF), General Obligation Debt Service Fund, Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements and schedules. Notes to Basic Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found immediately following the basic financial statements. Other Information Governments have the option of including the budgetary comparison statements for the General Fund and major special revenue funds as either part of the fund financial statements within the basic financial statements, or as required supplementary information following the notes to the basic financial statements. The Town has chosen to present these budgetary statements as part of the basic financial statements. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS While this document contains information about the funds used by the Town to provide services to our citizens, the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities serve to provide an answer to the question of how the Town, as a whole, did financially throughout the year. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting similar to the accounting used by the private sector. The basis for this accounting takes into account all of the current year’s revenues and expenses regardless of when the cash is received or paid. These two statements report the Town’s assets and the changes in those assets. The change in assets is important because it tells the reader whether the financial position of the Town as a whole has improved or diminished. However, in evaluating the overall position of the Town, non-financial information such as changes in the Town’s tax base and the condition of the Town’s capital assets will also need to be evaluated. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (18) Analysis of Net Position Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the Town, assets exceeded liabilities by $116.1 million at the current fiscal year end. The following table presents a summary of the Town’s net position for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. 2013 2012 (Restated) Percent Change ASSETS Current and Other Assets 28,460,597$ 27,817,313$ 2.3% Capital Assets: Non-depreciable 26,223,288 25,934,778 1.1% Depreciable (net) 77,222,272 81,921,325 -5.7% Total Assets 131,906,157 135,673,416 -2.8% LIABILITIES Other Liabilities 3,820,104 3,256,053 17.3% Long-Term Liabilities: Due Within One Year 2,449,599 2,319,551 5.6% Due in More Than One Year 9,501,392 11,928,659 -20.3% Total Liabilities 15,771,095 17,504,263 -9.9% NET POSITION Net Investment in Capital Assets 89,800,560 92,006,103 -2.4% Restricted 5,721,744 5,951,416 -3.9% Unrestricted 20,612,758 20,211,634 2.0% Total Net Position 116,135,062$ 118,169,153$ -1.7% Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Statement of Net Position The largest portion of the Town’s net position (77%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings, improvements other than buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment, and artwork) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Town’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. In addition, a portion of the Town’s net position (5%) is for the specified purposes of debt service repayment, capital outlay investment, and highways and streets. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town reported positive balances in all three categories of net position. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year. The Town’s financial position is the product of several financial transactions including the net results of activities, the acquisition and payment of debt, the acquisition and disposal of capital assets, and the depreciation of capital assets. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (19) Analysis of Changes in Net Position The Town’s total net position decreased by $2,034,091 during the FY12-13; the decrease was primarily a result of the use of reserves to pay down long term debt for the Town Hall. The elimination of the annual debt service payment provided the General Fund with an additional $350,000 for operations. Total governmental revenues decreased over the prior year with a net decrease of $424,257 (2%); primarily due to the expiration of capital grants of $1,242,171 (89%). The decrease was offset with an increase in revenues for programs. The Town also saw a modest increase in local sales taxes of $169,674 (2%) as well as revenues shared with cities/towns by the State (income tax, state sales tax and vehicle license taxes – increase of 11%) reflecting a modest economic recovery. The Town’s total revenues for the current fiscal year were $17.7 million. The total cost of all programs and services was $19.7 million.

For governmental activities overall, without regard to program, business taxes which includes Sales and Use Taxes and Franchise Taxes, are the largest single source of funds (47%), followed by state shared revenues (24%), property taxes (8%), grants (8%), charges for services (7%) and auto lieu (4%). The charts below compare the governmental expenses from fiscal year 2012-13 and fiscal year 2011- 12. General Government Public Safety Highways and Streets Culture and Recreation Community Development Interest on long-term debt TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (21) The following items are significant current year transactions that had an impact on the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities:  Overall revenues decreased by 2.3% compared to last year largely due to the intergovernmental grant funds that expired. Additionally, state shared revenues increased 4.8% which reflected the improving economy. The town does not have a primary property tax that is used for operations; the town property tax levy is dependent upon the annual debt payment for voter approved bonds.  Depreciable assets declined 5.7% ($4,699,053) with the Town’s deferred investment in capital infrastructure and improvements, specifically roads. A major road project, Shea Boulevard climbing lane, was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through Arizona Department of Transportation ($1.8 million). This project was a federal grant that was awarded to the Arizona Department of Transportation for a project within the town infrastructure. The Town was not considered a subrecipient of the grant; however, the improvements were donated from the Arizona Department of Transportation.  The increase in miscellaneous revenues is primarily attributable to recovery from the State Local Government Investment Pool ($38,263) as well as employee 401(A) forfeitures ($170,853).  State shared revenues are determined by the prior two years of income tax returns in Arizona and is shared with cities and towns based on population; last fiscal year revenues, both State income tax and State sales tax, were higher than anticipated with an increase of $432,849.  Sales tax revenues in Fountain Hills are derived primarily from retail, telecommunications, restaurant/bars and construction activity. Construction activity saw the steepest declines from $2.4 million in FY08 to less than $600 thousand in FY13; retail and telecommunications activity, have dropped slightly by less than ½%. Restaurants and bars increased by 8.6% reflecting the improving economy.  Overall expenses increased 6.6% despite the implementation of a major pavement management program ($767,000) which was accomplished with reductions in staff and programs.  General Government expenditures were less due to decreased grant funding.  Development Services includes Public Works, Streets, Building Safety, Planning, Code Enforcement and Facilities. Pavement maintenance program resulted in an increase in Development Services expenditures.  Public Safety costs include contracts for police and fire; those contracts are multi-year with automatic increases.  Other significant expense reductions were deferral of replacement equipment and vehicles until the economy shows signs of recovery. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN’S FUNDS As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the Town’s governmental funds is to provide information on near- term inflows, outflows, and balances of resources that are available for spending. Such information is useful in assessing the Town’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Types of Major Governmental Funds reported by the Town include the General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, General Obligation Debt Service Fund, Highway Users Revenue Fund and the Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Fund. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (22) The financial performance of the Town as a whole is reflected in its governmental funds. As the Town completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $24.5 million, an increase of $26,313. Increase (Decrease) Fund Balance From FY 2011-12 General Fund 7,696,822$ 466,962$ HURF Fund 858,181 (9,038) Capital Projects Fund 9,005,276 (306,892) General Obligation Debt Service Fund 61,228 (2,089) Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Fund 2,343,186 (396,325) Nonmajor Governmental Funds 4,573,003 273,695 24,537,696$ 26,313$ The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the General Fund was $7,696,822, while total fund balance of all funds reached $24.5 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both General Fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. General Fund balance represents 64 percent of total General Fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 140 percent of total expenditures. The fund balance of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s General Fund decreased by $0.5 million which includes the Vehicle Replacement Fund balance. Any residual balance will be transferred to the Capital Projects Fund per the Town Council policy. Expenditures within the General Fund increased 2.2% over the prior year – the primary reason for the increase is the contractual obligations for public safety contracts. The General Fund comprises 31 percent of the total fund balance. Approximately $4.1 million or 54 percent of the General Fund’s fund balance constitutes unassigned fund balance. The remaining fund balance is committed, assigned and non-spendable for inventory and prepaid items. The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the Town; overall the General Fund’s performance resulted in revenues over expenditures for FY13 in an amount of $1.3 million. The fund balance of $7.7 million in the General Fund as of June 30, 2013 increased in the current year substantially due to an increase in revenues. The fund balance of the HURF Fund decreased $9,078. The decrease was not significant during the year. The fund balance of the Capital Project’s Fund decreased $306,892 during the current fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to the planned use of capital project fund balance to fund pay as you go projects that were committed through matching funds for grants. The fund balance of the General Obligation Debt Service Fund decreased $2,089 during the current fiscal year. The decrease was largely due to the use of prior year reserves for debt service. The fund balance of the Municipal Property Corporation (MPC) Debt Service Fund decreased $396,325 during the current fiscal year. Revenues for the MPC are derived from local sales tax collections which were consistent with the prior year. The annual debt payment committed for the MPC is fixed but there were sufficient reserves to pay annual debt service. Reserves from this fund contributed to the defeasance of Town Hall bonds in the prior year. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (23) All nonmajor governmental funds of the Town are combined into one column on the governmental fund statements. The nonmajor governmental funds reported a $273,695 increase in fund balance mainly due to the local sales tax and revenues from development fee permits. BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS A statement showing the original and final budget amounts compared to the town’s actual financial activity for the general fund is provided in this report as part of the basic financial statements. The significant variances are summarized as follows: The unfavorable revenue variance of $268,332 in franchise taxes is due to the appropriation of revenue from a potential franchise agreement between the Town and the private water company that did not occur. The unfavorable variance in intergovernmental revenues of $89,779 was a result of the state’s projection of state sales and vehicle license taxes being less than actual collections which affects the distribution to cities and towns. The unfavorable revenue variance of $22,342 in licenses and permits reflects the continued economic recession, particularly in construction related activities but an increase over the prior year. Building permit revenues declined as well as business license renewals and applications. The unfavorable revenue variance of $116,776 in fines and forfeiture reflects decreased court activity related to decreased traffic citations within town borders. The unfavorable revenue variance of $259,444 in Charges for Services was due to the projection for a movie theater project that would have contributed approximately $200,000 to public art, however, the project did not materialize. The favorable expenditure variance of $1,616,220 includes all departments. During the year the Town Council made a major shift in priorities to focus on the Town’s infrastructure, specifically pavement maintenance which resulted in several reductions in force. Additionally, planned projects or major maintenance projects were deferred due to staff’s reprioritization to the pavement program resulting in unspent funds in all departments. The general government Administration variance is due primarily to the appropriation of approximately $300,000 in the event the economy worsened during the fiscal year; this contingency was not required. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets As of June 30, 2013, the Town had invested $193.0 million in capital assets, including buildings, vehicles, computers, equipment, infrastructure and artwork. This amount represents a net increase prior to depreciation of $489,681 from the prior fiscal year. Total depreciation expense for the current fiscal year was $4.9 million. The schedule on the following page presents a summary of capital asset balances for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

Long-Term Debt At year-end, the Town had $11.6 million in bonds outstanding, $2.4 million due within one year; this represents a net decrease of $2.3 million. The chart below is a summary of the Town’s outstanding debt as of year-end: 2013 2012 General Obligation Bonds 5,700,000$ 6,845,000$ Revenue Bonds 5,905,000 7,040,000 Total Outstanding Debt 11,605,000$ 13,885,000$ Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Outstanding Long-term Bonds The Town’s general obligation bonds are subject to two limits; the Constitutional debt limit (total debt limit) on all general obligation bonds (up to 20% of the total secondary assessed valuation) and the statutory debt limit on general municipal purpose bonds (up to 6% of the total secondary assessed valuation). The current total debt limitation for the Town is $95.3 million, which is more than the Town’s outstanding general obligation debt. Additional information on the Town’s long-term debt can be found in Notes 3.C. ECONOMIC FACTORS The Town continues to maintain strong reserves for unforeseen circumstances, whether of a financial nature or a natural (or other) disaster. The Town’s reserves, in combination with our consistent adherence to adopted financial policies and management practices, proved big factors in the Aa3 credit rating awarded to Fountain Hills by the major credit rating companies. The housing market has shown signs of recovery (both nationally and regionally), indicating that the overall economy may continue to experience moderate growth in the year ahead. The Town’s local housing economy provides building permit and construction sales tax revenue, which have declined over the past four fiscal years. With a limited inventory of available lots the Town will have to adjust to the new economy, one that is less dependent upon building activity as a source of reliable revenue. There is an area of almost 1,300 acres that was annexed in 2006 that is planned to be developed but the first building permit is not scheduled to be issued until beyond 2015. The Town’s local sales tax collections, which represent the largest town revenue source is made up of primarily retail, telecommunications and restaurant bar activity. Construction related sales tax are projected to stop declining for the foreseeable future; retail collections, however, are projected to remain steady due to the fact that the existing retail base is not significantly affected by the recession (major retail activity consists of three grocery stores and one shopping center with a major retailer). TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 (25) The Town is heavily dependent upon state shared revenues for general fund operations (37%); state- shared income tax revenues are anticipated to increase slightly during fiscal year 2013-14 with increased individual and business revenues and state collections. The Town is aggressively pursuing economic vitality and redevelopment opportunities, specifically a proposed development in the downtown center. The Town partnered with the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce to commission a vision for the downtown core including the world renowned Fountain lake area. The plan was presented to the public late summer of 2009 and serves as a useful tool for economic development to attract developers. As of June 30, 2013 the Town had set aside $9.0 million in the capital improvement fund but the majority of capital projects will be deferred until the economy improves. The Town has been successful in obtaining a contract with ADOT to fund a major road improvement along Shea Boulevard that was completed in FY11. The Town completed a second construction project for another major road improvement on Shea Boulevard with further funding from ADOT in FY12. NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES The protracted economic recession has forced the town to evaluate core services and, in some cases, to reduce existing service levels. Prudent long-term fiscal planning dictates that we remain conservative, focus on the highest Council and citizen priorities, and fund only those enhancements we can sustain financially. The FY14 general fund operating budget is $13.2 million representing a 3% decrease from fiscal year 2012-13 budget. The operating budget is comprised of the costs to continue operations from year to year without any capital expenditures. It encompasses all the basic services provided to Fountain Hills’ residents: police and fire protection; parks, recreation, streets maintenance; planning and zoning; building inspection; economic development and administrative services. The capital budget is set at $19.2 million, a 66% increase over fiscal year 2012-13 in anticipation of a successful road bond sale in November. There are some projects in the five-year plan that are considered affordable within current revenue sources, others will require other sources of revenue for funding such as bonds, grants, etc. Capital budgets tend to rise and fall each year depending on the timing of projects – especially if a town, such as Fountain Hills, strives to achieve a “pay-as-you-go” program. The capital improvement program (CIP) is the town’s financial plan for supporting large capital projects. The five-year CIP addresses the growing needs of the community and enhances the quality of life through major public investment, and is an essential ingredient in the town’s service delivery plan. The CIP is closely aligned with the general plan, and integrates a number of specialized facility and infrastructure master plans. Looking ahead, the five-year CIP totals $24.1 million; with the capital budget for fiscal year 2013-14 totaling $19.2 million (which includes carryover funds for some large projects currently underway). In fiscal year 2013-14, the CIP places major emphasis on major road improvements and maintenance. Due to the economy there are no recreational or non essential projects proposed.

However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. Some revenues reported in the Statement of Activities do not provide current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenues in governmental funds. The Statement of Activities reports losses arising from the disposal of existing capital assets as well as capital contributions received from other governments. Conversely, governmental funds do not report any gain or loss on disposals of capital assets or capital contributions. The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on Net Position. The issuance of long-term debt increases long-term liabilities on the Statement of Net Position and the repayment of principal on long-term debt reduces long-term debt on the Statement of Net Position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, and similar items when the debt is first issued, whereas these items are deferred and amortized over the term of the long term debt in the Statement of Activities.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the Town’s accounting policies are described below. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Town adopted GASB Statements No. 63 and 65. GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position, provides financial reporting guidance for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, establishes accounting and financial reporting standards that reclassify as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources, certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities. A. Reporting Entity The Town is a municipal entity governed by an elected Mayor and Council. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the Town and its component units, entities for which the Town is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the Town’s operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the Town, the primary government. The financial reporting entity consists of a primary government and its component units. A component unit is a legally separate entity that must be included in the reporting entity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Town is a primary government that has a separately elected governing body, is legally separate, and is fiscally independent of other state or local governments. Furthermore, component units combined with the Town for financial statement presentation purposes and the Town is not included in any other governmental reporting entity. Consequently, the Town’s financial statements include only the funds of those organizational entities for which its elected governing body is financially accountable. Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District and the Cottonwoods Improvement District. As special purpose districts and separate political subdivisions under the Arizona Constitution, the districts can levy taxes and issue bonds independently of the Town. Property owners in the designated areas are assessed for Town taxes, and thus for the costs of operating the districts. The Town Council serves as the Board of Directors; however, the District has no liability for the districts’ debt, the Town is responsible for the debt; the debt is therefore, not subject to the Town’s debt limit; therefore, providing a financial benefit to the Town. For financial reporting purposes, transactions of the Districts are combined together and included as if they were part of the Town’s operations. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (37) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A. Reporting Entity (Continued) Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Municipal Property Corporation. The Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Municipal Property Corporation’s (MPC) Board of Directors consists of three members which are appointed by the Fountain Hills Town Council. The MPC, which is a nonprofit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona, was formed for the sole purpose of assisting the Town in obtaining financing for various projects of the Town. The Town has a “moral obligation” for the repayment of the MPC’s bonds. For financial reporting purposes, transactions of the MPC are combined together and included as if they were part of the Town’s operations. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) present financial information about the Town as a whole. For the most part, the effect of internal activity has been removed from these statements. These statements are to distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the Town. Governmental activities normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The Town does not have any business-type activities. 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, state shared revenues, investment earnings and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. 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 grantor or provider have been met. As a general rule, the effect of internal activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements; however, the effects of interfund services provided and used between functions are reported as expenses and program revenues at amounts approximating their external exchange value. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (38) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Fund Financial Statements 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 Town 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 resources are provided during the current year for payment of long-term debt principal and interest due early in the following year (not to exceed one month) and therefore the expenditures and related liabilities have been recognized. Compensated absences are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and permits, charges for services, special assessments and investment earnings associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Miscellaneous revenue is not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash. Grants and similar awards are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been met. Unearned revenues arise when resources are received by the Town before it has legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to meeting all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider. Delinquent property taxes not received within 60 days of the fiscal year end are reported as deferred inflows of resources. Other receivables that will not be collected within the available period have also been reported as deferred inflows on the governmental fund financial statements. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Town’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a single column. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (39) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) The Town reports the following major governmental funds. Major Governmental Funds General Fund This fund is the Town’s primary operating fund. The Fund accounts for all financial resources of the Town, except those required to be accounted for in other funds. Highway Users Revenue Fund (HURF) This special revenue fund accounts for the Town’s share of motor fuel tax revenues and lottery proceeds. Capital Projects Fund This fund accounts for the capital improvements to various projects and equipment purchases of the Town. General Obligation Debt Service Fund This fund accounts for the Town’s property tax revenues received to pay the debt service of the Town’s general obligation bonds. Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Fund This fund accounts for the revenues received to pay the debt service on MPC revenue bonds. D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance 1. Deposits and Investments The Town’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, cash and investments held by the State Treasurer, and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and investments are pooled except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents or restricted under provisions of bond indentures. Interest earned from investments purchased with such pooled monies is allocated to each of the funds based on the average daily cash balances. State statutes authorize the Town to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. agencies, certificates of deposit in eligible depositories, repurchase agreements, obligations of the State of Arizona or any of its counties or incorporated cities, towns or duly organized school districts, improvement districts in this state and the State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool. Investments are stated at fair value. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (40) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued) 2. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year is 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.” All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Property taxes are levied by the Town and collected by the Maricopa County Treasurer. Property taxes are levied no later than the third Monday in August and are payable in two installments due October 1 of the current year and March 1 of the subsequent year. Taxes become delinquent after the first business day of November and May, respectively. Interest attaches on installments after the delinquency date. Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) a lien against assessed real and personal property attaches on the first day of January preceding assessment and levy; however according to case law, an enforceable legal claim to the asset does not arise. The State Constitution and State law specify a property tax levy limitation system. The system consists of two levies, a limited levy known as the primary property tax levy and an unlimited levy referred to as the secondary levy, which may only be used to retire bonded indebtedness. The primary tax levy is limited to an increase of 2 percent over the previous year’s maximum allowable primary levy, plus an increased dollar amount because of a net gain in property not taxed the previous year. Also, the primary property tax from all taxing jurisdictions for homeowners may not exceed 1 percent of the market value of their homes. If the combined primary property tax (for the Town, County, School District, etc.) exceeds 1 percent of the market value of the homes, the school districts will reduce their rate until the homeowners’ aggregate rate is equal to or less than the allowable 1 percent. The State will then subsidize the school districts for the reduced revenue. This 1 percent limitation applies to primary property taxes only and does not affect the secondary property tax levy. There is also a control on the assessed value of property for primary tax purposes. The base year for the new tax system is fiscal year 1978-79. From this base year, two assessed values evolve. The primary assessed values are allowed to increase by no more than 10 percent a year. The dollar amount of the secondary property tax levy is “unlimited” and the actual full cash value of property is used in determining the tax rate.

Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued) 2. Receivables and Payables (Continued) Intergovernmental receivables include amounts due from other government agencies and include Town sales tax ($540,498), Highway User Revenue fuel tax ($116,526), state sales tax ($160,265), and auto lieu ($36,518) in the governmental funds and governmental activities column of the government-wide financial statements. 3. Inventory Inventories are stated at average cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventories are recorded as expenses when consumed in the government-wide financial statements, and as expenditures when consumed on the fund financial statements. 4. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. In the government-wide and fund financial statements prepaids are recognized as expenses/expenditures when goods and/or services are received rather than when purchased. 5. Restricted Assets The Town reported restricted assets in the amount of $75,595 for funds held in an escrow account. The agreement provides that if, prior to July 1, 2014, any future Council fails to ratify this agreement or fails to provide severance when required as set forth in the agreement between the Town Council and Town Manager, the Town Manager shall be permitted to withdraw all funds from the escrow, minus any interest earned, which interest shall be payable to the Town upon the Town Manager’s withdrawal of the amounts in escrow. The Town also has $2,349,415 deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to make future principal and interest payments on the 2004 Municipal Property Corporation Revenue Bond. 6. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land, artwork, buildings, improvements other than buildings, vehicles, machinery, and equipment, construction in progress, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Town as assets with an initial, individual cost of $10,000 or more and an estimated useful life of more than one year. The capital assets include all infrastructure assets acquired by the Town since incorporation. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (42) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued) 6. Capital Assets (Continued) Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. 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 the life of the asset are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Capital assets of the Town are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Infrastructure 15-50 Buildings 50 Improvements other than buildings 20 Vehicles, machinery and equipment 5-20 7. Compensated Absences The Town’s employee vacation and sick leave policies generally provide for granting vacation and sick leave with pay. Sick leave and vacation benefits vest after 30 days at the employee’s then current rate of pay. Effective October 7, 2004, all eligible full-time and part-time employees can accrue vacation leave. Full-time employees can accrue up to a maximum of 224 hours of vacation, while part-time employees can accrue up to 112 hours, depending upon their length of service. In the event of termination, employees will be paid for any accrued, but unused, vacation hours. Also effective October 7, 2004, full-time employees started to accrue sick leave, based on their length of service, up to a maximum of 720 hours. A portion of this balance will be paid upon a satisfactory separation of service. The current and long-term liabilities, including related benefits, for accumulated vacation and sick leave are reported on the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee leave, resignations and retirements. Generally, resources from the General Fund are used to pay for compensated absences. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (43) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued) 8. Long-term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities on the Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts and the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt. The difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying value of the old debt is reported as either a deferred inflow or a deferred outflow of resources and the premium and/or discount are recorded against the outstanding debt. Issuance costs are expended when incurred. 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 of 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. 9. Net Position In the government-wide financial statements, net position is reported in three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position. The net investment in capital assets, is separately reported because capital assets make up a significant portion of total net position. Restricted net position account for the portion of net position restricted by parties outside the Town. Unrestricted net position is the remaining net position not included in the previous two categories. 10. Fund Balance Classifications Fund balances of the governmental funds are reported separately within classifications based on a hierarchy of the constraints placed on the use of those resources. The classifications are based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how the specific amounts can be spent. The classifications are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance classifications. The nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form such as inventories and prepaid items, or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (44) NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued) 10. Fund Balance Classifications (Continued) Restricted fund balances are those that have externally imposed restrictions on their usage by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations. Committed fund balances are self-imposed limitations approved by the Town’s Council, which is the highest level of decision-making authority within the Town. Only the Town Council can remove or change the constraints placed on committed fund balances. Fund balances must be committed prior to fiscal year end through formal council action at a public meeting. Assigned fund balances are resources constrained by the Town’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Town Council has authorized the Deputy Town Manager/Finance Director to assign fund balances. The unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all amounts not reported in the other classifications. Also, deficits in fund balances of the other governmental funds are reported as unassigned. It is the Town’s policy to use restricted fund balance first, then committed, assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts. The Town has established a fund balance policy whereas the combined General Fund operating fund balance of at least 30% of revenues is recommended. The Town has established a stabilization fund (rainy day fund) in the Town’s fund balance policy. The rainy day fund had a balance of $1,345,200, reported as a committed fund balance at June 30, 2013. The rainy day funds may only be used for the following: 1) to replace the loss of more than 25% of the Town’s local share of state shared revenues, 2) for any event that threatens the health, safety or welfare of the Town’s citizens, 3) for any event that threatens the fiscal stability of the Town, and lastly 4) to address any matter declared by the Governor of the State of Arizona or the Mayor of the Town. All withdrawals from the rainy day funds shall be subject to the following rules: 1) any appropriation shall require the approval by at least 2/3 vote by the Town Council, and 2) the maximum amount of rainy day withdrawal in any fiscal year shall not exceed one-half of the total balance in the fund. Replenishment of the rainy day funds spent by the Town should not exceed a period of more than five years, and should be repaid in equal annual installments of not less than 1% of the previous fiscal year General Fund fund balance. Repayments shall be appropriated as part of the annual budget adoption.

Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued) 11. Interfund Activity Flows of cash from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers between governmental funds are eliminated in the Statement of Activities. Interfund transfers in the fund statements are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds. 12. Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY A. Budgetary information The Town Council follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: 1. In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes, the Town Manager submits a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1 to the Town Council. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them for the upcoming year. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comment. 3. Prior to the third Monday in August, the expenditure limitation for the Town is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. To ensure compliance with the expenditure limitation, a uniform expenditure report must be filed with the State each year. This report, issued under a separate cover, reconciles total Town expenditures from the audited basic financial statements to total expenditures for reporting in accordance with the State’s uniform expenditure reporting system (A.R.S. §41-1279.07). 4. Expenditures may not legally exceed the expenditure limitation described below for all fund types as a whole. For management purposes, the Town adopts a budget by department for the General Fund and in total by fund for other funds. The Town Manager, subject to Town Council approval, may at any time transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof between a department or activity. The adopted budget cannot be amended in any way without Town Council approval. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (46) NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY (CONTINUED) A. Budgetary information (Continued) 5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects Funds (except for the HURF Debt Service and Cottonwoods Special Assessment Funds, in which the Town did not adopt a budget) on essentially the same modified accrual basis of accounting used to record actual revenues and expenditures. The Town is subject to the State of Arizona’s Spending Limitation Law for Towns and Cities. This law does not permit the Town to spend more than budgeted revenues plus the carryover unrestricted cash balance from the prior fiscal year. The limitation is applied to the total of the combined funds. The Town complied with this law during the year. No supplementary budgetary appropriations were necessary during the year. B. Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the following funds: Amount of Overexpenditure Major Funds: Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Fund 348,087$ Nonmajor Governmental Funds: Grants Fund 85,222 Cash was available to cover the over expenditures listed above.

Contingent Liabilities Lawsuits The Town is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the Town’s legal counsel, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Town. B. Risk Management The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The Town’s insurance protection is provided by the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool, of which the Town is a participating member. The limit for basic coverage is for $2,000,000 per occurrence on a claims made basis. Excess coverage is for an additional $8,000,000 per occurrence on a follow form, claims made basis. No significant reduction in insurance coverage occurred during the year, and no settlements exceeded insurance coverage during any of the past three fiscal years. The Town was unable to obtain workers’ compensation insurance at a cost considered to be economically justifiable. Therefore, the Town joined the Arizona Municipal Workers’ Compensation Pool (AMWCP). AMWCP is a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common workers’ compensation insurance program for 67 member cities and towns. The Town is responsible for paying a premium, based on an experience rating formula that allocates pool expenditures and liabilities among members. TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2013 (55) NOTE 4 OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED) C. Retirement Plans Defined Contribution Pension Plan All full-time employees of the Town participate in a defined contribution pension plan administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation as a 401(a) plan. The payroll for the Town employees covered by this plan for the year ended June 30, 2013, was $2,561,493. The Town’s total payroll was $2,881,474. A defined contribution pension plan provides benefits in return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the individual’s account are to be determined, instead of specifying the amount of benefit the individual is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant’s account, the returns earned on investment of those contributions, and forfeitures of other participants’ benefits that may be allocated to such participant’s account. All non-peace officer full-time Town employees must participate in the pension plan from the date they are hired. Contributions made by an employee vest immediately and contributions made by the Town vest after three years of service. An employee that leaves the employment of the Town is entitled to his or her contributions and the vested portion of the Town’s contributions, plus interest earned. Each employee must contribute 11% of his or her gross earnings. The Town must match the employee contribution of 11%. During fiscal year 2012-13, the Town’s required and actual contributions amounted to $281,746. The employees’ contributions totaled $281,746. Employees may also contribute to the lCMA Retirement Corporation 457 plan on a voluntary basis; there is no employer match for those contributions. During fiscal year 2012-13, employees contributed $140,764 to that plan. In the current year, there were a significant amount of forfeitures ($164,057) that were forfeited from participant accounts back to the Town. This is due to employees making withdrawals on their balances without being 100% vested in the plan. No pension provision changes occurred during the year that affected the required contributions to be made by the Town or its employees. The ICMA Retirement Corporation held no securities of the Town or other related parties during the fiscal year 2011-12 or as of the close of the fiscal year.

Note: The estimated percentage of debt outstanding applicable to the Town is calculated based on the Town’s secondary assessed valuation (full cash value) as a percentage of the secondary assessed valuation of the overlapping jurisdiction. Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the Town of Fountain Hills. This schedule further estimates the portion of outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by residents and businesses of the Town. This process recognizes that, when considering a town’s ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by residents should be taken into account. However, this fact does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore, responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government.
