INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Honorable Mayor andMembers of the City Council

City of Port Aransas, Texas

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, major funds and remaining fund information of the City of Port Aransas, Texas as of and for the year ended September 30, 2007, which collectively compromise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City’s management. 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, therespective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information for the City of Port Aransas, Texas as of September 30, 2007, and the respective changes in financial position of those activities and funds for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the other required supplementary information on pages 2 through 14 and pages 40 through 44 are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements of the City of Port Aransas, Texas. This information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairlypresented in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This annual report consists of three parts—management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, and required supplementary information. Under GASB 34, basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City. Figure A-1 shows how the required parts of this annual report are arranged and related to one another. The remaining overview section of management’s discussion and analysis explains the structure and contents of each of the statements.

The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status. The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, which are the government-wide statements, report information about the City as a whole, and about its activities in a way that provides information helpful in determining whether the City’s financial condition has improved or deteriorated as a result of the current year’s activities.

The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements. The funds are classified into three groups: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds.

• The Governmental Funds statements tell how general government services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending.

• Proprietary and Fiduciary funds are not applicable to the City. The gas utility, sanitation and the marina are business-type activities. However, they are accounted for in the City’s general fund.

The notes to the financial statements explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data that are necessary for a full understanding of the financial statements.

The statements and notes are followed by a section of required supplementary information that includes budgetary comparisons of the City’s major funds, as defined by GASB 34.

Figure A-1, Required Components ofthe City’s Annual Financial Report

Government-wide StatementsThe government-wide statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net assets includes all of the City’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 City’s net assets and how they have changed. Net assets—the difference between the City’s assets and liabilities—is one way to measure the City’s financial health or position.

• Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net assets are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.

• To assess the overall health of the City, you need to consider additional nonfinancial factors such as changes in the City’s tax base, which has increased significantly over the past several years.

The government-wide financial statements of the City include all Governmental and business-type activities. All of the City’s services are included here. These activities are financed primarily by taxes and user fees charged to customers.

Fund Financial StatementsThe fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City’s most significant funds—not the City as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes. Because most of the City’s funds qualify as major funds, all funds are presented as if they are major funds. Actual major funds, as defined by GASB 34, include: General Fund, Advertising Fund, Beach Fund, Recreational Development Fund, Nature Preserve Capital Projects Fund and Streets & Land Acquisition Capital Projects Fund. The remaining funds, though not “Major” funds by definition, include the Municipal Airport Fund, Port Aransas Recreational Development Corporation and the Port Aransas Library Fund.

• Some funds are required by State law and by covenants of bonds/certificates of obligation.

• The City Council establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is properly using certain taxes, fees and grants.

The City has only one of the three categories of funds mentioned below.

• Governmental funds—All of the City’s services are included in governmental funds, which focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps one determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s services. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, we provide additional information at the bottom of the governmental funds statement, or on the subsequent page, that explains the relationship (or differences) between them.

• Proprietary Funds – Although some of the City’s operations are similar to those ordinarily accounted for in Proprietary Funds, the City has chosen to report the harbor and utility funds’ operations in the General Fund.

• Fiduciary Funds—The City has no Fiduciary Funds.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDSRevenues from governmental funds totaled $12,465,801 and $12,115,481 for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $350,320 or 2.9% and $1,842,255 or 17.93%, respectively. Significant revenue increases in 2007include Taxes - $383,392 , Licenses & Permits -$204,972 , Charges for services - $167,292 , and Interest income - $247,114 . Some of the more significant increases in 2006 revenues include: Taxes - $612,480; Licenses & Permits - $215,490, Intergovernmental - $591,235, and Other revenues - $240,784. Changes in property tax revenues are due to increased assessed valuations as well as an increase in the percentage of taxes collected to taxes assessed. Due to the increasing valuations, the City has been able to decrease its tax rate over the past five years from $0.47, which had been the rate from 1986 through 2002, to $0.279. Occupancy taxes increased due to an increase in tourism and Licenses & Permits for construction and contractors increased due to the construction activity in Port Aransas.

General Fund Budgetary HighlightsOver the course of the year, the City revised its budget twice increasing expenditures and transfers by $27,500 in the General Fund and $9,500 in the Recreational Development Fund. Budget variances are “Favorable” if actual revenues exceed budgeted amounts and if actual expenditures are under budgeted amounts. Variances are “Unfavorable” if actual revenues are under budgeted amounts and if actual expenditures are over budgeted amounts. Favorable variances are indicated by showing amounts without brackets and unfavorable variances are indicated by bracketed amounts. The only departmental unfavorable variance is for the Public Works department where costs exceeded the budget by $1,014.

FY 2007 revenues were budgeted to increase by $125,485 or 1.48% and expenditures were budgeted to increase $1,431,864or 18.82%. Budget variances for the current year are as follows: Revenues - $33,762 and Expenditures - $1,430,172. The actual budget comparison is presented on page 40 and a more detailed comparison of revenues is presented on page 48. Also, graphs, which are presented at the end of this discussion and analysis, provide additional information regarding actual increases and decreases in various sources of revenues for all of the City’s funds.

Various Taxes as a Percentage of Total TaxesThe make up of the various taxes as a % of total tax revenues each fiscal year have not changed significantly. The make up of tax collections has been approximately as follows: Ad valorem 40%; Sales 20%,Occupancy 30% & Franchise 10%.

Sales Tax RevenuesSales tax revenues have increased each year except for fiscal years 1998 and 2003. TheCity increased its sales tax rate from 1% to 1½% in 1996. The additional 1/2% sales tax has been recorded in the Port Aransas Recreational Development Corporation and is restricted to economic development.

Franchise Tax RevenuesThe primary franchise tax comes from the electric utility company. The increase in 2001 is due primarily to a one-time settlement with the electric utility company totaling $56,313. Franchise taxes from electric utilities have decreased from 2001 through 2005. The decreases are most likely due to the deregulation of the utility industry allowing customers to choose their utility providers. None of the other utility providers have submitted Franchise Tax reports or remitted any Franchise Tax payments. Franchise taxes from cable TV, telephoneand BFI/others have generally increased over the years.

Food and Beverage PermitsPermit fees are as follows: Food -$3.50; Beer & Wine (on premise) -$87.50 and mixed beverage -$375.00. At these rates, there has to be substantial growth or decline to significantly affect total income. Fluctuations are more likely due to the fact that the mixed beverage permit is a multiyear permit and some years have more of these permits due than others.

Beach Parking PermitsPermit sales fluctuate based not only on the level of tourism on the island; but also, due to the level of enforcement of the parking permitrules. Sales increased to over $200,000 from 1999 through 2002. In 2003, the City entered into an agreement with the City of Corpus Christi and Nueces County to sell beach parking permits that would be valid on all beaches governed by the three entities. This agreement benefited the many visitors to Port Aransas, Mustang Island and North Padre Island. Revenues have fluctuated up and down each year since the agreement was approved. The agreement provided that the City would be reimbursed for any loss of revenue in 2003. The reimbursement was not determined

or received until 2004.

Gas Utility ServicesThe City purchased the assets and business of Gulfside Gas Company in 1996 and began operations in fiscal year 1996-97. Basic gas rates have not changed substantially since the original purchase. Fluctuations in revenues are due primarily to the fuel adjustment that is passed through to the customers. For example, 75,204 MMBtu’s of gas were purchased in 2001 at a cost of $491,469 and 71,830 MMBtu’s of gas were purchased in 2002 at a cost of $250,709. Gas consumption decreased 5% whereas gas cost decreased 49%. The increased cost of gas in 2001 is the reason for that year’s increase in sales and the subsequent decrease in gas cost is the reason for the decreased sales in 2002. In 2003, 77,188 MMBtu’s were purchased at a cost of $477,385. Although the MMBtu’s of gas purchased increased, 7.46%, actual cost increased 89.1%. Sales increased due to the increase in pass through costs.

Interest ratesand investment balances have increased over the past few years resulting in increased interest income. The City has no long-term investments. Investment balances actually increased from 2003 through 2004. However, the increased balances were not enough to offset the decreases in interest rates during this same period.

CITY OF PORT ARANSAS, TEXASRECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEETTO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETSSeptember 30, 2007

Total Fund Balance - Governmental Funds 11,688,995$

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

1 - Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds. The cost of the assets is $28,494,935 and the accumulated depreciation is $11,719,827 16,775,108

2 - Other long-term assets, including delinquent taxes receivable, net of allowance are not available for current period expenditures and are, therefore, deferred in the funds. 76,281

3 - Some liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in funds. A detail of these liabilities follows:

Compensated absences (118,593)$ Capitalized lease obligations (159,454) General Obligation Bonds (2,685,000) Certificates of obligation (1,785,000) (4,748,048)

4 - Various other reclassifications and eliminations are necessary to convert from the modified accrual of accounting to the accrual basis of accounting. These include recording bond issue cost net of amortization of $84,454 as an asset and accrued interest of $65,485 as a liability. The net effect of these reclassifications and recognitions is to increase (decrease) net assets. 18,969

Change in Fund Balance - Governmental Funds 3,493,174$

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

1 - Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of capital assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. Capital outlays and depreciation expense for the current period are as follows:

Capital outlays 1,089,242$ Depreciation expense (1,141,602) (52,360)

2 - Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provided current financial resources are not reported as revenues in funds. Adjustment necessary to report property tax revenues on the accrual basis. 7,306

3 - Debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. This is the amount by which proceeds exceeded repayment.

Compensated absences (253)$ Capitalized lease obligations 55,721 General Obligation Bonds Issued (2,685,000) Certificates of obligation paid 125,000 (2,504,532)

4 - Various other reclassifications and eliminations are necessary to convert from the modified accrual of accounting to the accrual basis of accounting. These include reclassifying bond issue costs, recording amortization of bond issue cost, writing off net book value of assest sold or disposed and adjusting accrued interest on long-term debt. The net effect of these reclassifications and recognitions is to increase (decrease) net assets.

CITY OF PORT ARANSAS, TEXASNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The City of Port Aransas, Texas (the "City") was incorporated as a general law city in November 1955. In August 1978 the City adopted the Mayor-Council-Manager form of government. The principal services accounted for as general governmental functions include public safety, health, streets, sanitation, park and recreation, planning, zoning and general administrative services. The financial statements of the City have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. The GASB periodically updates its codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, which along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for governmental units.The more significant accounting principles and practices are discussed in subsequent sections of these Notes.

REPORTING ENTITY:The financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City (the primary government) and its component units, entities for which the City is considered financially accountable. In evaluating how to define the City, for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The City is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization’s governing board and it is able to impose its will on the organization, or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or burdens on the City. Additionally, the City is required to consider other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the City operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the City. If applicable, each discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize it is legally separate from the City.

Blended Component Units:The Port Aransas Recreational Development Corporation (PARDC) was chartered on November 27, 1995. The public purposes for which the Corporation is organized and for which it may issue bonds are as follows: construction, development, expansion, maintenance, operation and promotion of recreational and sports fields and stadiums, swimming pool, sports complexes, and related facilities and improvements. The Board of Directors consisting of seven members is appointed by the City Council. PARDC's main source of revenue is the additional one-half cent sales tax approved by voters.Discretely Presented Component Units - There are no component units requiring discrete presentation.

Related Organizations and Jointly Governed Organizations that are administered by separate boards or commissions provide services within the City. However, the City is not financially accountable for these organizations. Therefore, they are not component units of the City, even if the City Council could appoint a voting majority of the organizations' board. Consequently, financial information for the Coastal Bend Council of Governments, the Regional Transit Authority and the Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce are not included in these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED…

25

The PARDC is audited in conjunction with the audit of the City’s general-purpose financial statements. PARDC does not issue separate stand-alone financial statements.

Basic Financial Statements:The basic financial statements include both government-wide (based on the City as a whole) and fund financial statements. While the previous model emphasized fund types (the total of all funds of a particular type), in the new reporting model the focus is on either the City as a whole or major individual funds (within the fund financial statements). Both the government-wide and fund financial statements categorize activities as either governmental activities or business-type activities. In the government-wide statement of net assets, both the governmental and business-type activities columns are presented on a consolidated basis by column and reflected on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which incorporates long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations.The government-wide statement of activities reflects both the gross and net cost per functional category (police, fire, operations, etc.) which are otherwise being supported by general government revenues (e.g., property taxes, sales taxes and certain intergovernmental revenues). The statement of activities reduces gross expenses, including depreciation, by related program revenues, operating and capital grants. The program revenues must be directly associated with the function or a business-type activity. Program revenues include revenues form charges for services, franchise fees, fines and penalties, licenses and permit fees and service assessments. The operating grants include operating-specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects capital-specific grants.

The net costs (by government or business-type activity) are normally covered by general revenue. Historically, the previous model did not summarize or present net cost by function or activity. This government-wide presentation focuses more on the substantiality of the City as an entity and the changes in aggregate financial position resulting from the activities of the fiscal period.

The fund financial statements are similar to the financial statements presented in the previous model. Emphasis here is on the major funds in either the governmental or business type categories. Non-major funds (by category) or fund type are summarized into a single column.The governmental funds major fund statements in the fund financial statements are presented on a current financial resource and modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the manner in which these funds are normally budgeted. This presentation demonstrates: legal and covenant compliance, source and use of liquid resources and how the City’s actual experience conforms to the budget or fiscal plan. Since the governmental fund statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of accounting than the government-wide statements, reconciliations are presented following the statementsthat briefly explain the adjustments necessary to transform the fund based financial statements into the government-wide statements.

Basis of Presentation:The City’s financial transactions are recorded in individual funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. Resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. GASB 34 establishes criteria(percentage of the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category or the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The nonmajor funds can be combined in a single column in the fund financial statements. However, management determined that reporting all funds in the basis financial statements as if they were major funds would provide a more simple and meaningful presentation. Actual major funds, as defined by GASB 34, for the year ended

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED…

September 30, 2007 are as follows: General Fund (always a major fund), Recreational Development Fund, Nature Preserve Capital Project Fund and the Streets & Land Acquisition Capital Projects Fund. Funds not meeting the definition but reported as major funds on the balance sheet and statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance include: Municipal Airport Fund, Advertising Fund, Beach Fund, Port Aransas Recreational Development Corporation and the Library Fund.

The General Fund (GF) accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Advertising Fund accounts for the portion of Occupancy taxes that are required to be spent for advertising and promoting the City. The Beach Fundaccounts for the portion of Occupancy taxes required to provide beach cleaning and safety. The Recreational Development Fund accounts for the portion of Occupancy taxes that the Council requires to be set aside for recreational development. The Nature Preserve Capital Projects Fund was established to account for the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation that were issued during the year ended September 30, 2004. Certificates of Obligation will be used to provide a nature preserve. The Streets and Land Acquisition Fund accounts for bond proceeds, grants from other governmental agencies and transfers from the General Fund that are used for streets, miscellaneous projects and land acquisitions other than for the nature preserve.

GASB 34 eliminates the presentation of account groups, but provides for these records to be maintained and incorporates the information into the Governmental column in the government-wide statement of net assets.

Basis of Accounting: Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide statements are presented on accrual basis of accounting. The governmental funds in the fund financial statements are presented on a modified accrual basis. Accrual means that revenues are recognized when earned and expenditures/expense are recognized when incurred. All governmental funds use the modified accrualbasis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers property taxes and franchise taxes as available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. A one-year availability period is used for revenue recognition for all other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been accumulated in therequired fund for payments to be made early in the following year.

Revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes, grants earned, interest revenue, harbor rentals and charges for sanitation and gas utility services. Receivable amounts are reported net of allowances for uncollectibles where appropriate. As of September 30, 2007, the City recorded allowances of $23,000 for utilities and $19,070 for ad valorem taxes in the General Fund. No other allowances are considered necessary. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the City also are recognized as revenue. Occupancy taxes, fines, permits, and miscellaneous revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash.In applying the “susceptible to accrual” concept to intergovernmental revenues pursuant to GASB No. 33 “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions”, the revenue provider recognizes liabilities and expenses and the revenue recipient recognizes receivables and revenue when

the applicable eligibility requirements, including time requirements, are met. Resources transmitted before the eligibility requirements are met are reported as advances by the provider and as deferred revenue by the recipient/Encumbrances are supported by purchase orders or contracts and represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. Under Texas law, appropriations lapse at year-end and encumbrances outstanding at that time are to be canceled or appropriately provided for in the subsequent year’s budget. The only significant encumbrances outstanding at September 30, 2007 totaled $1,679.677 for contracts in process for the 2007 street and drainage program.

Cash and cash equivalents of all City funds, except for the Library and Seized Drug money, are pooled and each fund has equity in the pooled amount. Cash and cash equivalents include currency on hand, demand deposits with banks, amounts included in pooled cash and liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. City funds are deposited and invested under the terms of a depository contract. The depository bank deposits for safekeeping and trust with a third-party bankapproved pledged securities as authorized by Chapter 2257 Collateral for Public Funds of the Government Code in an amount sufficient to protect City funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of such securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank's dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") Insurance. Texas statutes authorize the City to invest in 1) obligations of the U.S. Treasury or its agencies and instrumentalities; 2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; 3) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; 4) obligations of states, agencies, counties or cities rated A or better by a national investment rating firm; 5) certificates of deposit that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by obligations having a market value of at least the principal amount of the certificates; and 6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements. The City’s investments are stated at fair value, which is determined using selected bases. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Cash deposits are reported at carrying amount, which reasonably estimates fair value. The net change in fair value of investments is recognized and reported as investment income in the financial statements. Accrued interest, if material, is shown under the caption accrued interest receivable. Other wise it is included with the value of the investment. Additional cash and investment information and fair values are presented in Note C. Interest earned on pooled cash is allocated to each fund based on the funds’ participation in that investment. Aside from accounts clearly identified as belonging to a specific fund, any unrealized gain/loss resulting from the valuation is allocated to each fund based on the fund’s participation in that investment.

Receivables and Payables – Amounts reported as interfund receivables and payables are eliminated in the government-wide statement of net assets. All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Trade accounts receivable in excess of 120 days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectibles. The property tax receivable allowance is equal to 20% of outstanding property taxes at the end of the fiscal year. Utility revenue is recorded when billed at the end of the month. The estimated value of services provided but unbilled is not considered significant because meters are read near the end of the month. As such, no unbilled services are included in the accompanying financial statements. Net property tax receivable of $76,281 is fully deferred at year-end because delinquent collections received within the following sixty days are not considered significant. Inventories are not considered significant and are not reported in the accompanying financial statements. As a result, costs of inventories are recorded as expenditures when purchased.Capital Assets - All capital assets, including public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed assets, purchased or constructed are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost

is not available. Donated assets are valued at their estimated market value on the date donated. Maintenance repairs and renewals, which neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Leases that meet the criteria of a capital lease, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, are capitalized. Depreciation on capital assets is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Gas pipelines – 50 years; Infrastructure - 30 to 50 years, Runways and related improvements - 15 to 20 years; Buildings - 30 to 40 years; Improvements other than buildings 10 to 20 years; Vehicles – 5 years; Machinery and equipment - 5 to 15 years and Office furniture – 7 years. Interest is capitalized on assets, other than infrastructure assets, acquired with tax-exempt debt. The amount of interest capitalized is the net interest expense incurred (interest expense less interest income) from the date of the borrowing until completion of the project. Restricted Assets – When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available, it is the city’s policy to apply restricted net assets first.Accumulated Unpaid Compensated Absences - The City allows employees to accumulate up to a maximum of 130 days of unused sick leave. However sick days do not vest, and accordingly, employees can be paid sick leave only when sick. Since an employee's right to receive compensation for future absences is contingent upon the absences being caused by future illnesses and since amounts cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability for unused sick leave is not recorded in the financial statements. Earned vacation time generally must be used within one year of accrual. Up to 10 days of accumulated earned vacation will be paid to an employee upon termination. Accumulated unpaid vacation pay is reported in the government-wide statement of net assets. Expenditures are recorded in the governmental funds as employees resign or retire. The amount expected to be paid from current resources is not considered to be significant. Long-Term Obligations – In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities and business-type activities. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs incurred on the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation are reported as assets, net of amortization on the Statement of Net Assets. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds 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 in the governmental funds, bond discounts and issuance costs are treated as period costs in the year issued. Interfund Transactions - During the course of normal operations, the City has numerous transactions between funds including expenditures and transfers of resources to provide services. The accompanying fund financial statements generally reflect such transactions as operating transfers, which are included in the results of operations of the individual funds. Nonrecurring transfers of equity between funds are treated as residual equity transfers and are reported as additions or deductions to the fund balance of the individual funds. The General Fund charges the Beach Fund for vehicles and equipment used to provide beach safety, police patrols and cleaning. The General Fund also charges other funds for services as provided. Since these charges are considered "Quasi External" transactions, they are recorded as revenues by the General Fund and expenditures by the other funds. During the year ended September 30, 2007 the General Fund charged the Beach Fund $938,891. Charges in excess of a fund’s available resources are not recorded as due from that fund because it can not be determined if that fund will receive sufficient resources to enable repayment of the excess amounts. If sufficient funds become

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED…

29

available in future years, a reimbursement may be made. In years prior to 2007, charges to the Beach Fund exceeded the resources in that fund by $32,584. Reimbursements have not been made to the General Fund for these prior year charges. The “Quasi External” transactions are eliminated for the government-wide statements.

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 represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certainreported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING:The City Charter requires adoption of an annual budget. This budget is prepared in accordance with the basis of accounting utilized by the various funds. The Capital Projects Funds adopt project-length budgets. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of a department must be approved by the City Council. The following procedures are used by the City in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: 1) Prior to October 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits a proposed budget to the City Council. This budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them; 2) Advertised public hearings are conducted; 3) Budget and tax levy are enacted through the passage of ordinances; 4) Budget is amended as considered necessary. Both original and amended budgets for the General and major Special Revenue Funds are presented in the required supplementary information following these notes. All unencumbered budget appropriations except project budgets, lapse at the end of each fiscal year.

C. Cash and Temporary Investments:Cash in Depository Banks - At September 30, 2007, the carrying amount of the City's deposits at its depository banks totaled $64,294 at American bank, $91,987 at Value bank and $21,084 at Herndon, Plant, Oakley LTD and the banks’ balances totaled $173,482, $91,987 and $21,084, respectively. All deposits were entirely covered by FDIC insurance and by pledged collateral held by a third party bank in the City's name. The City's cash deposits during the year ended September 30, 2007 were entirely covered by FDIC insurance and by pledged collateral held by the City's agent bank in the City's name.Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned or the City may not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside party. The City’s policy requires all invested funds to be fully collateralized or insured consistent with federal and state law and the current bank depository contract. Also, all securities pledged as collateral shall be deposited in trust with the Federal Reserve Bank or an independent investment institution under an appropriate legal contract. The amount of securities pledged shall be determined by their market value.

Temporary Investments - The City maintains accounts at TexPool, which is duly chartered and administrated by the State Treasurer's Office and its portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury bills and notes, collateralized certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. The objective of TexPool is to maintain a stable $1.00 price of the fund. All securities owned by TexPool are marked to market daily and if the ratio of the market value of the portfolio divided by its book value is less than 0.995 or greater than 1.005, TexPool will sell portfolio holdings as required to maintain the ratio between 0.995 and 1.005. However, the $1.00 price is not guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the Treasury. Accounts at Herndon Plant Oakley are used to invest primarily in securities of the U.S. or its agencies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED…

Investments - Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. Investments that are represented by specific identifiable investment securities are classified as to credit risk by three categories described as follows: 1) insured or registered, or securities held by the City or its agent in the City's name; 2) uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty's trust department or agent in the City's name; 3) uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty, or by its trust department or agent but not in the City's name. Investments held in mutual funds are not assigned risk categories since the City has not been issued securities, but rather owns an undivided beneficial interest in the investments. All of the City’s investments, other than investments in mutual funds, are in category 1. During the year ended September 30, 2005, the City changed its investment strategy from investing solely in TexPool to investing in a variety of temporary investments such as US Treasuries, quasi governmental agencies, mutual funds, certificates of deposits and money market accounts. During the year ended September 30, 2007, the City changed its investment strategy back to investing primarily at TexPool. The City reports certain investments at fair value in the balance sheet and recognizes the corresponding change in the fair value of investments in the year in which the change occurred. Fair value fluctuates with interest rates and increasing rates could cause fair value to decline below original cost. Fair values of the City’s investments are equal to their respective carrying amounts. City management believes the liquidity of the portfolio is more than adequate to meet cash flow requirements and to preclude the City from having to sell investments below original cost for that purpose. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Investments held for longer periods are subject to increased risk of adverse interest rate changes. The City’s investment policy provides the guideline that maturity of securities should not exceed more than five years and that pooled funds’ average dollar-weighted maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio is one year. Investments are diversified to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over-concentrations of assets in a specific maturity period.

The General Fund is responsible for the Certificates of Obligation, Capitalized Leases and Compensated Absences. However, a portion of the Occupancy taxes has been designated to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates of Obligation. The City anticipates that sufficient Occupancy taxes will be available to retire this debt and that no funds will be required from the General Fund. In prior years, the PARDC paid the debt related to the Series 1997 tax notes and the Debt Service Fund paid all other bonded debt. The Debt Service Fund was closed upon the complete liquidation of the bonded debt.However, the issuance of the General Obligation Bonds – Series 2007 will require the City to re-establish the Debt Service Fund and to set a debt service tax rate beginning in the 2007-08 fiscal year.All long-term debt is for governmental activities. The City had no long-term debt for business-type activities during the year ended September 30, 2007.

G. COMMITMENTS UNDER NONCAPITALIZED LEASES:Operating Leases - The City leases some office equipment. Most of the leases are cancelable. The City entered into a surface lease with the Texas General Land Office for 1,089.88 acres in an area known as Charlie’s Pasture. The initial lease term is for 30 years.

Minimum lease commitment for each of the next five fiscal years beginning October 1, 2007 is $5,500.Minimum lease commitment for the each of the subsequent five-year periods ending in fiscal year September 30, 2031 is $27,500. Land lease payments for the year ended September 30, 2007 totaled $5,500.

H. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS:H-1. Texas Municipal Retirement System:Plan Description - The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees, except for fire fighters, through a nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the statewide Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS") one of 821 plans administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. All assumptions for the December 31, 2006 valuations are contained in the 2006 TMRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which is available upon written request from the Board of Trustees at P.O. Box 149153; Austin, Texas 78714-9153.

Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City-financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began are a percent (100%, 150% or 200%) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant as often as annually another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit, which is a theoretical amount that when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and employee contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and City matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity.Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 10 or more years of service or with 20 years of service regardless of age. The plan also provides death and disability benefits. A member is vested after 10years. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes.Funding Policy - The contribution rate for employees is 5% and the City matching ratio for the year ended September 30, 2007 is 2.0 to 1, both as adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary annually determines the City’s contribution rate. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing monetary credits due to city matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee's contributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each employee at the time his retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (over-funded) actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25-year amortization period. When the City periodically adopts updated service credits and increases in annuities in effect, the increased unfunded actuarial liability is to be amortized over a new 25-year period. Currently, the unfunded actuarial liability is being amortized over the 25-year period, which began January 2006. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance to budget for it, there is a one-year lag between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect (i.e. December 31, 2005 valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2007).Annual Pension Cost – For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the City’s annual TMRS pension cost of $226,247, which is 7.21% of covered payroll, was equal to the City’s required and actual contributions. The required contributions were determined as part of the December 31, 2004 and 2005

actuarial valuations. In addition, the City paid $8,159 for supplemental death benefits.

H-2. Texas Emergency Services Retirement System (“TESRS”): Plan Description & Benefits- The City provides pension benefits for all of its fire fighters through a defined benefit plan in the TESRS (the “Pension System”). The Fire Fighters' Pension Commission is the administrator of the TESRS, a cost-sharing multiple employer pension system established and administered by the State of Texas to provide pension benefits for emergency services personnel who serve without significant monetary remuneration. TESRS does not issue a stand alone financial report but is considered a component unit of the State of Texas financial reporting entity and is included in the State's financial reports as a pension trust fund. A report may be obtained by contacting the State Comptroller at P.O. Box 13528, Capitol Station, Austin, Texas 78711. At August 31, 2006, there were181 member fire or emergency services departments participating in TESRS. TESRS was created by Senate Bill 411, 65th Legislature, Regular Session (1977), and most recently revised in the 79th

Legislature, Regular Session (2005), which recodified the provisions and gave the TESRS Board of Trustees authority to establish vesting requirements, contribution levels, benefit formulas and eligibility requirements by board rule. The system’s provisions include retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Eligible members include emergency services personnel who provide services related to fire, rescue and emergency medical services and who serve without significant remuneration while members in good standing of a participating department. In addition, eligible members include auxiliaryemployees who receive limited compensation from a political subdivision of Texas and who are certified by the political subdivision as being regularly engaged in the performance of duties for a participating department. Members are vested beginning with the fifth year of service, at 5% per year of service for the first ten years and 10% for each of the next five years of service. Upon reaching age 55, a vested member may retire and receive a monthly pension equal to his vested percentage multiplied by six times the governing body's average monthly contribution over the member’s years of qualified service. For years of service in excess of 15 years, this monthly benefit is increased at the rate of 6.2% compounded annually. On and off-duty death benefits and on-duty disability benefits are dependent on whether or not the member was engaged in the performance of duties at the time of death or disability. Death benefits include a lump-sum amount and continuing monthly payments to a member's surviving spouse anddependent children.Funding Policy - Contribution requirements were established by S.B. 411, 65th Legislature, Regular Session (1977) and were amended by board rule in 2006. No contributions are required by individual members of participating departments. The governing bodies of participating department are required to contribute at least the minimum prescribed amount per month for each active member and may contribute more. Additional contributions may be made by a governing body to pay for granting credit for service before the department began participating in TESRS (prior Service) The State may also be required to make a limited amount of annual contributions to make the fund actuarially sound.

Annual Required Contributions - The contribution requirement per active emergency services personnel member per month is not actuarially determined. Rather, the minimum contribution provisions were set by board rule. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006 total contributions (dues and prior service) of $2,077,728 were paid into TESRS by the political subdivisions served by the member volunteer emergency services personnel. In addition, the state appropriated $675,307 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006. Total contributions made were equal to the contributions required by the state stature and were equal to the contributions required based on the revised August 31, 2004 actuarial valuation.

The purpose of the biennial actuarial valuation is to test the adequacy of the financing arrangement to determine if it is adequate to pay the benefits that are promised. The actuarial valuation as of August 31,

2006 revealed the adequacy of the expected contributions from the political subdivisions (dues and prior service contributions) together with the actual state appropriations for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007 ($709,613 as the maximum state contribution according to state law plus approximately $400,000 to help pay for the System’s administrative expenses) and with the assumed continuation of legislative appropriations of (1) the maximum state contribution amount in future years for up to 30 years as is necessary for the System to have a 30-year amortization period and (2) approximately $400,000 each year to help pay for the System’s administrative expenses. Expected contributions for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007 are equal to the contributions required. The City’s expense for the year ended September 30, 2007 is $3,680. Actuarial valuations for the three most current valuations are summarized as follows:

I. 457 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN:The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan (Plan) created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. Amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan are not available to employees until their termination, retirement, death or an unforeseeable emergency occurs. The City funds all amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan, at the direction of the covered employee.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED…

37

The International City Manager Association (ICMA) Retirement Corporation has been appointed as thePlan administrator. The City's fiduciary responsibility under the Plan is to remit employee contributions to ICMA on a regular basis. All amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the qualified trust, custodial account or annuity contract for the benefit of participants or their beneficiaries. As such, none of the plan's assets are included in these financial statements.

J. POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS - COBRA:Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), the City provides health care benefits to eligible former employees and eligible dependents. Certain requirements are outlined by the federal government for this coverage. Although. premiums are paid in full by the insured for the actual months covered, the City pays a fee for the administration of the COBRA plan. This program is offered for a period of 18 months after the termination date.

K. RISK MANAGEMENT:The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees and others; and natural disasters. The City's program for managing risks include: 1) participation in a public entity risk pool (Texas Municipal League) to cover liability claims such as workers compensation, life, and general liability claims; 2) purchasing commercial property insurance for protection from damages due to windstorms, hurricanes, hail storms and floods; 3) providing employees with various safety programs. Except for minimal deductibles, the City has transferred risk of losses to the public entity risk pool and to commercial insurers. There has been no significant reduction in insurance coverage. Settlement amounts have not exceeded insurance coverage for the year ended September 30, 2007 or the three prior years.

L. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:Litigation - Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. Although an estimate of the ultimate loss can not be made, the City's management believes potential losses resulting from these claims and lawsuits will not have a material effect on the City's financial statements.Grant Audit - The City receives various grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by grantor agencies. Such audits could result in a request for reimbursement for expenditures disallowed under the terms and conditions of the appropriate agency. In the opinion of City management, such disallowance, if any, will not be significant.Overpaid Franchise Taxes – AEP Texas (AEP) notified the City that it had overpaid its franchise taxes over the past several years by $90,845. The City agreed to allow AEP to reduce its future monthly franchise tax payments by $3,785 for 24 months beginning October 2006 and ending September 2008.

M. ROUNDING IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:Although all amounts reported in the financial statements are shown or displayed as rounded to the nearest dollar, the individual amounts actually include the pennies. In some cases, this may cause some series of numbers to appear as if they do not add properly. However, this is just the result of rounding. The totals and subtotals presented in these financial statements represent the correctly rounded results of the individual amounts, which include pennies, making up the totals or subtotals.
