MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This section of the comprehensive annual financial report of Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority d/b/a LYNX (the “Authority”) presents management’s analysis of the Authority’s financial performance during the Fiscal Years that ended on September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Please read it in conjunction with the financial statements, which follow this section. Financial Highlights
Fiscal 2012 Customer fares increased by 10%, or $2.5 million, from FY2011. This was due to an increase in ridership of
4%, combined with the fare policy implemented April 2011 requiring passengers to present an Authority issued identification card in order to qualify for reduced fares. This policy has resulted in an increase in sales of full adult fare media and a decrease in sales of reduced fare media.
Advertising revenue increased significantly from FY2011, providing $1.2 million in revenue in FY2012. This
is due in part to a new advertising contract effective January 2012. Fuel costs increased by 6% from FY2011, primarily due to an increase in fuel consumption. The Authority
continued fuel hedging activities that began in FY2011 in an effort to stabilize fuel cost.
Fiscal 2011 Customer fares increased by $3.7 million primarily due to an increase in ridership of 9%. As in previous years,
rising gas price translates into higher ridership.
The Authority’s local funding partners decreased their funding by 7%, $3.6 million dollars from FY2010 levels, due to various budget constraints. The Authority continued to implement operating efficiencies and utilized $5.9 in Federal stimulus funds to minimize the impact of funding reductions and increasing expenses.
The price of fuel significantly increased in FY2011, resulting in a $4.5 million dollar increase in fuel expenses
compared to FY2010. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority’s basic financial statements. The financial statements consist of two parts: Fund Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements. The report also contains supplementary information in addition to the financial statements themselves. Required Financial Statements The financial statements of the Authority report information about the Authority using full accrual accounting methods similar to those used by private sector companies. These statements offer short-term and long-term financial information about its activities. The Balance Sheet includes all of the Authority’s assets and liabilities and provides information about the nature and amounts of investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to Authority creditors (liabilities). The assets and liabilities are presented in a classified format, which distinguishes between current and long-term assets and liabilities. It also provides the basis for computing the rate of return, evaluation of the capital structure of the Authority and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the Authority. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. This statement measures the success of the Authority’s operations over the past year and can be used to determine whether the Authority has successfully recovered all its costs through its customer fares, contract services, and operating subsidies, as well as its profitability and credit worthiness. The final required financial statement is the Statement of Cash Flows. The primary purpose of this statement is to provide information about the Authority’s cash receipts and cash payments during the reporting period. The statement
18
reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash resulting from operating, investing, and financing activities and provides answers to such questions as where did cash come from, what was cash used for, and what was the change in the cash balance during the reporting period. Financial Analysis of the Authority Our analysis of the Authority begins below with the Financial Statements. One of the most important questions asked about the Authority’s finances is “Is the Authority, as a whole, better off or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?” The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets report information about the Authority’s activities in a way that will help answer this question. These two statements report the net assets of the Authority and changes in them. You can think of the Authority’s net assets---the difference between assets and liabilities---as one way to measure financial health or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Authority’s net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. However, you will need to consider other non-financial factors such as changes in economic conditions, population growth, regulation, and new or changed government legislation. Net Assets To begin our analysis, a summary of the Authority’s Balance Sheets is presented in Table A-1. Table A-1 Condensed Statement of Net Assets (Balance Sheets) (In millions of dollars)
September 30, FY2012 FY2011 FY2010 Assets: Current and other assets $ 59.3 $ 54.9 $ 50.6 Capital assets 131.7 139.4 135.3
Total assets $191.0 $194.3 $185.9
Liabilities: Current liabilities $ 21.8 $ 19.0 $ 18.0 Long-term liabilities 12.7 15.4 16.7
Total liabilities $ 34.5 $ 34.4 $ 34.7
Net Assets: Invested in capital assets,
net of related debt $124.9 $131.1 $125.1 Restricted .5 .5 .5 Unrestricted 31.1 28.3 25.6
Total net assets $156.5 $159.9 $151.2
The Balance Sheets show the change in assets, liabilities, and the resulting net assets. Net assets may serve, over time, as a useful indicator of a government’s overall financial position. As can be seen from the Table A-1, Net Assets decreased $3.4 million to $156.5 million in FY2012 from $159.9 million in FY2011. Compared to FY2011, Net Assets Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt, decreased $6.2 million, Unrestricted Net Assets increased $2.8 million, and Restricted Net Assets did not change.

The Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets provide answers as to the nature and source of changes in Net Assets. As shown in Table A-2, the $3.4 million decrease in net assets in FY2012 is due to the decrease in Capital Contributions of $13 million over the Loss before Capital Contributions of $16.4 million. The increase in Customer Fares resulted from the increase in ridership of 4% compared to last year, combined with an increase in the sale of full fare tickets and passes as compared to reduced fare tickets and passes. The decrease in contract services was primarily due to a $1.6 million reduction in services for Disney and reductions in contract services for certain local governments. The increase in Nonoperating Revenue is primarily due to an increase in funding from the Authority’s local funding partners. The increase in Operating Expenses is mainly due to the increase in fuel costs, salaries, wages, and fringe benefits.

Capital Assets At the end of FY2012, the Authority had a broad range of Capital Assets, consisting of Land, Buildings and Shelters, Revenue Vehicles, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements. Table A-3 Capital Assets (In millions of dollars)

Long-Term Obligations On August 16, 2001, the Authority entered into a State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) Loan Agreement (SIB #1), allowing draws of up to $7,958,991 for the construction of the LYNX Central Station. The loan matured in FY2011 and there was no outstanding balance at September 30, 2012. On June 9, 2004, the Authority entered into a second SIB Loan (SIB #2), allowing draws of up to $7,600,000 for the construction of the LYNX Operations Center Facility. This loan matures in FY2017; the outstanding loan balance as of September 30, 2012 was $3,909,775. On August 14, 2006, the Authority entered into a third SIB Loan (SIB #3), allowing draws of up to $7,140,000 for the acquisition of rolling stock, including paratransit vehicles. The outstanding loan balance as of September 30, 2012 was $4,255,022. In July 2012, a loan modification was executed deferring the final annual repayment until FY2014. On August 16, 2007, the Authority leased 21 buses requiring 28 quarterly lease payments over seven years, with principal totaling $7,632,976; the unpaid principal balance as of September 30, 2012, was $2,398,522. Diesel Fuel Hedging GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, was implemented in FY2011. This accounting standard requires that hedging derivative instruments be reported at fair value on the Balance Sheet. Beginning in July 2011, the Authority entered into several fuel hedging contracts with a counterparty to cover a significant portion of planned diesel fuel purchases in fiscal years ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012. The objective is to smooth out the fluctuation in fuel prices and to limit the extent to which the price paid for fuel could increase during the fiscal year. As of September 30, 2012 the maturity dates of the open contracts range from October 2012 to September 2013. Because the fuel hedging contracts are considered effective hedges, the fair value of the asset and the liability related to the open contracts at September 30, 2012 fully offset each other.
21
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates The Authority’s Board of Directors and Management considered many factors when setting the FY2012 budget and contract services hourly rates. These factors include the expected demand of the Authority’s Funding Partners, which in turn consider such factors as anticipated population growth of the three counties and the economy of the region as a whole.

CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY d/b/a LYNX
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (the “Authority”) was created in 1989 pursuant to Section 343.63, Florida Statutes. This same legislation was amended in 1993, allowing the Authority to assume the operations of the entity formerly known as Central Florida Commuter Rail Authority and providing an opportunity to merge with the local transportation provider, Orange-Seminole-Osceola Transportation Authority (OSOTA) d/b/a LYNX, thereby, creating a one-stop public transportation entity. The Authority continues to use LYNX as its doing business as name and serves as the focal point in developing all modes of public transportation in the Central Florida region. Through formal action by both the Authority and OSOTA Board of Directors, the merger of the two organizations was ratified March 1994 and became effective October 1, 1994. The Authority provides public transportation services to the general public in the Orlando, Florida metropolitan area--Orange County, Seminole County, and Osceola County.
Reporting Entity - The Authority is a stand-alone governmental unit.
Basis of Accounting – The Authority accounts for its activities through the use of an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of a change in financial position is necessary or useful for sound financial administration (business-type activities). Because the Authority has only business-type activities, it is considered to be a special-purpose government for financial reporting under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 34 Basic Financial Statements-and Management’s Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments (GASB 34). Accordingly, the Authority only presents fund financial statements as defined in GASB 34. The financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The Authority’s property and equipment acquisitions and operations are subsidized by the Federal Transit Administration, the Florida Department of Transportation, and local governments. Capital grants for the acquisition of property and equipment (reimbursement type grants) are recorded as grant receivables and credited to capital contributions when the related qualified expenditures are incurred. Unrestricted net assets consist of state and local government operating subsidies received in excess of net expenses. The Authority has elected not to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements and Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989, as permitted by GASB No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities that use Proprietary Fund Accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Authority considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or are considered insured by the State of Florida collateral pool. The State of Florida collateral pool is a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its members for collateral shortfalls if a member institution fails.
The Authority’s policy allows for investments in the Local Governmental Surplus Funds Investment Pool (the “Pool”), which is administered by the State Board of Administration of Florida. The Pool includes direct obligations of the United States government or its agencies and instrumentalities, interest bearing time deposits or saving accounts, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, bankers acceptance, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, and shares in common-law trust established under Florida Statutes Section 163.01. The Pool allocates investment earnings to participants monthly, based on a prorated dollar days participation of each account in the Pool.
The Authority held investments throughout fiscal years 2012 and 2011 in the Pool, which are considered cash and cash equivalents for financial reporting purposes. During fiscal year 2008 some securities were downgraded and the
27
Pool was subdivided into Pool A and Pool B. During fiscal year 2009, Pool A was renamed “Florida PRIME” by the SBA. The Authority presents all investments at fair value as follows:
September 30, 2012 2011
Pool Investments -Florida PRIME $ 153,389 $ 53,685 Pool Investments -Pool B 438,430 424,882 Bank Deposits 36,023,646 30,637,793 Total Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments $ 36,615,465 $ 31,116,360
Florida PRIME qualifies under GASB 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, to be treated as a “2a-7 like pool” because it has a policy that it will, and does, operate in a manner consistent with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The current rating of Florida PRIME by Standard and Poors is AAAm and the weighted average days to maturity at September 30, 2012 were 39 days. Pool B is not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating agency and has a weighted life at September 30, 2012 of 4.08 years. The securities in Florida PRIME are presented at fair value based on $1 per share and securities in Pool B are presented at estimated fair value (cost less unrealized loss) based on an independently calculated fair value factor of .94896811 at September 30, 2012 and .7568386 at September 30, 2011. It is the policy of the Authority to diversify its investment portfolios so as to protect against issuer defaults, market price changes, technical complications leading to temporary lack of liquidity, or other risks resulting from an over concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a specific issuer, a specific geographical distribution, or a specific class of securities. The Authority’s investment policy’s objectives are preservation of the principal of funds within its portfolio, ensure that funds are available to meet reasonably anticipated cash flow requirements, and maximize return on investments, while meeting the established quality, safety and liquidity restrictions. To limit credit risk, in addition to diversification, the Authority has established a list of authorized investments, the principal ones are: (1) The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund; (2) United States Treasury and Agency securities; (3) Interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in Qualified Public Depositories; (4) Obligations of the Federal Farm Credit Banks and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; and (5) Deposits, federal funds or bankers acceptance of any domestic bank.
Receivables - Local, Trade, Operating Assistance – Includes receivables from customers, Local Funding Partners and Medicaid Assistance. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Authority had receivables, net of allowances, as follows:
September 30, 2012 2011
Customers $ 1,368,548 $ 1,205,618 Local Funding Partners 207,543 368,613 Medicaid Assistance 1,000,948 1,419,597 Total $ 2,577,039 $ 2,993,828
Inventory - Inventory, consisting of minor repair parts and fuel, is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
State Fuel Tax Refund - Represents claims refundable from the State of Florida Department of Revenue for fuel tax.
Restricted Assets - When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, the Authority’s policy is to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources, as they are needed. Restricted assets include $7,066,850 and $5,289,360 of cash and cash equivalents for the FlexBus Project, LYMMO East-West Project, planning projects, shelters, bus procurement and other enhancements, and various capital projects as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
28
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment in the amount of $300 or more is recorded at historical cost and depreciated over the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method:
Years Buildings and shelters 3 - 30
Revenue vehicles 5 - 9
Equipment 3 - 12
Leasehold improvements (shorter of useful lives or lease term) 5 - 10
The remaining construction work in progress primarily relates to design, engineering and construction costs of LYMMO BRT expansion projects, LYNX Central Station Improvements, LYNX Operations Center Modifications, Bus Shelters, Computer Aided Dispatch/Automated Vehicle Locator (CAD/AVL), and other projects. Depreciation commences when projects are completed and the underlying fixed assets are available for use.
Accounts Payable - Accounts payable are recorded as expenses at the time services are rendered and the Authority receives items. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Authority had accounts payable as follows:
September 30, 2012 2011
Trade $ 5,721,750 $ 5,135,443 Commitments (Consultants/Construction) 669,829 657,401 Retainage 27,134 174,767 Other 3,071,116 3,484,017 Total $ 9,489,829 $ 9,451,628
Accrued Compensated Absences - The Authority recognizes the accrual of compensated absences in accordance with GASB No. 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences, accruing vacation pay benefits as earned and sick pay benefits as vested by its employees.
September 30, 2012 2011
Accrued compensated absences liability, beginning of year $ 4,257,367 $ 4,379,696 Obligations 3,926,608 3,633,678 Payments (3,830,765) (3,756,007) Accrued compensated absences liability, end of year $ 4,353,210 $ 4,257,367
Amount due within one year $ 3,830,765 $ 3,756,007
Accrued Self-Insurance Liability - The Authority has a self-insurance program for public liability claims and workers compensation. Estimated claims are accrued in the year expenses are incurred to the extent payment is probable and subject to reasonable estimation.
Deferred Operating Revenue - Deferred operating revenue consists of revenue not yet recognized because services have not yet been rendered, although related cash has been received.
Net Assets - Net assets represents net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt, restricted assets and unrestricted earnings.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating Revenues - Transactions reported as operating revenues are those that arise from the activities of
29
primary ongoing operations. Those include: Customer Fares, Contract Services, Advertising and Other Operating Income. Customer fares are recorded as revenue at the time services are performed and revenues pass through the fare box. Contract services are recorded as revenue when services are provided, consisting primarily of bus services to area cities and counties that are funded based on hours of service and paratransit services funded through Medicaid, Transportation Disadvantage, and other means.
Nonoperating Revenues - Transactions reported in the nonoperating revenue category include government subsidies that are not contingent on service hours or other designated criteria, including Federal, State and Local Operating, Planning, and other grant assistance, as well as interest income and gains on the sales of capital assets, if applicable.
Operating Expenses - Transactions reported as operating expenses are those that arise from the activities of primary ongoing operations. Those include: Salaries and Wages, Fringe Benefits, Purchased Transportation Services, Fuel, Materials and Supplies, Professional Services, Leases and Miscellaneous, Casualty and Liability Insurance, Utilities, Taxes and Licenses.
Nonoperating Expenses - Transactions reported in the nonoperating expense category include those that do not arise from the activities of primary ongoing operations. These include interest expense for leases and loans as well as losses on the sales of capital assets, if applicable.

4. LOANS PAYABLE
On August 16, 2001, the Authority entered into a State Infrastructure Bank Loan Agreement (SIB #1), allowing draws of up to $7,958,991 for the construction of the LYNX Central Station. The loan matured in 2011, it was non-interest bearing until October 1, 2006 and thereafter the interest rate was 5%. On June 9, 2004, the Authority entered into another SIB Loan (SIB #2), allowing draws of up to $7,600,000 for the construction of the New Operating Base Facility. This loan matures in 2016, was non-interest bearing until October 1, 2007, and bears an interest rate of 2%, thereafter. On August 14, 2006, the Authority entered into another SIB Loan (SIB #3), allowing draws of up to $7,140,000 for the acquisition of rolling stock, including paratransit vehicles. The allowable amount, $7,140,000, of SIB #3 was executed in FY 2006. This was non-interest bearing until October 1, 2008, and bears an interest rate of 1%, thereafter. An amendment to SIB #3 was processed July 2012 adjusting the payback schedule by one year, with final repayment now due October 1, 2013.

Pursuant to the State Infrastructure Bank Loan Agreement, the Authority committed to use its Federal Transit Administration 5307 grant funds as the source to fund the payment obligations of the loans for SIB#1 and SIB#2, provided such funds are available after funding capital expenditures. The amount of pledged revenues was $20,682,616 and $18,697,912 for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Authority committed to use directly generated local funds and FTA 5307 funds for non-TRIP projects as the source to fund the payment obligations of SIB#3. The amount of pledged revenues for capital expenditures and SIB#3 loan payments was $2,729,284 and $1,951,961 for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fiscal year 2012 principal and interest payments were $736,565 and $92,927, respectively, and fiscal year 2011 principal and interest payments were $928,529 and $117,689, respectively.

Totals $ 8,164,796 $ 409,164 $ 8,573,960
5. ACCRUED SELF-INSURANCE LIABILITY
The Authority has been self-insured since 1986 for personal injury coverage related to its transit coaches and since 1991 for workers compensation coverage; all other risks of loss are covered through the purchase of commercial insurance. The Authority has sovereign immunity with respect to personal injury claims, which limits its liability to $100,000 for each claim and $200,000 for each accident. Settled claims have not exceeded commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
The amounts recorded as accrued self-insurance liability at September 30, 2012 and 2011, the current portion of which represents an estimate of payments required in the next fiscal year, are at present value based on estimates derived through actuarial determinations discounted at a range of 4% for the fiscal years 2012 and 2011. Such estimates are subject to change based on circumstances surrounding each claim. Changes in the balances of accrued self-insurance liability, including incurred but not reported claims (IBNR), were as follows during the years ended:
September 30 2012 2011
Accrued self-insurance liability, beginning of year $ 5,407,644 $ 4,639,034 Insured claims (including IBNR’s) 1,583,890 2,120,192 Claim payments (2,258,512) (1,351,582) Accrued self-insurance liability, end of year $ 4,733,022 $ 5,407,644
The estimated amounts due in one year are $2,128,388 and $1,835,748 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
6. PENSION PLANS
State Plan - Plan Description
There are six (6) employees of the Authority who are not represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union (the “Union”) and are participants in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer public employee retirement system (PERS) administered by the Florida Department of Administration. Employees not filling regular established positions but working as temporary employees are not covered by the FRS. The Authority participated in the regular FRS class of membership, with a contribution rate of 7.91% and 10.77% in effect during the State’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 respectively. Contribution rates equal actuarially determined rates. Beginning July 2011, employers were required to contribute at a rate of 4.91% and employees were required to contribute at a rate of 3.00%.
Benefits are established by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 22B, Florida Administrative Code. Amendments to the law can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Benefits are computed on the basis of age, average final compensation, and service credit. Members are also eligible for in-line-of duty or regular disability benefits, if permanently disabled and unable to work. Regular class employees who retire at or after age 62 with 6 years of credited service or 30 years of service regardless of age are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 1.6% of their final average compensation for each year of credited service. Vested employees with less than 30 years of service may retire before age 62 and receive reduced retirement benefits. A post-employment health insurance subsidy is also provided to eligible retirement employees through the FRS in accordance with Florida Statutes. Section 121.031 (3), Florida Statutes requires that an actuarial valuation of FRS be performed biannually. The
33
conclusions of the valuation and historical trend data are included in the annual report of the FRS. Further information about the progress made by the FRS in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, including 10-year historical trend information, is included in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and various publications available from the Florida Department of Administration.
Funding Policy The Authority’s contributions to the FRS were equal to the required contribution for each fiscal year. Contributions for fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 through 2012 approximated the following:
Fiscal Year Contributions 2012 $ 26,000 2011 $ 31,000 2010 $ 39,000
The Authority has historically contributed amounts equal to the required contributions for the FRS and, therefore, does not have a pension asset or liability as determined in accordance with GASB No. 27.
Union Plan - Plan Description
Substantially all Union employees of the Authority are participants in the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1596 Pension Plan (the “Union Plan”), a defined benefit, single-employer public employee retirement system, formed April 22, 1986 by agreement between the Authority and the Union. All Authority Union employees are eligible to participate in the Union Plan as of their hire date. Employees who have reached the age of 62 are entitled to a retirement union benefit, payable monthly for life, equal to 2.13% of their average compensation for each unit of benefit credit. Average compensation is the average of the highest sixty consecutive calendar months preceding retirement or termination. Participants are credited with units of benefit credit for hours of service worked in a plan year. Benefits fully vest upon reaching 10 years of vested service. Vested employees who retire on or after age 62 will receive full benefits. Participants who have reached age 58 and have 20 years of service are entitled to an unreduced pension benefit. The monthly payment is reduced by 0.56% for each month for the first three years the early retirement date precedes the unreduced early retirement date for participants with 20 or more years of services. In addition, the monthly payment is reduced by 0.56% for each month up to a maximum of 60 months the early retirement date precedes the normal retirement date for participants with less than 20 years of service. Participants’ benefits are established by the Trustees of the Union Plan.
Available historical information showing the Union Plan’s progress in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due is presented in the Union Plan’s financial statements. The Union Plan’s financial statements may be obtained by writing the Union Plan Trustees.
Funding Policy The Authority and Union employees are obligated to contribute to the Union Plan in accordance with requirements of the Union Collective Bargaining Agreement; regular contribution rates are actuarially determined. Union Plan members are required to contribute 5.25% of earnings; the Authority is required to contribute 9.75% of Union Plan members’ earnings. The amount by which the required contribution rate exceeds the regular contribution rate in the contract is shared on the same bases as the contribution rate – 65% employer and 35% employee. Employees may elect to enhance their future benefits by up to .25% and .50% by contributing an additional 2.5% and 5.0% of earnings, respectively. Shared contributions are the amount by which the required contribution rate exceeds the regular contribution rates, which is shared as 35% employee and 65% employer in the subsequent year.

Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Obligation The Authority’s latest available union plan annual pension information, which includes costs for fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010 and a net pension obligation at September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, is as follows:
September 30 2012 2011 2010 Annual required contribution $ 3,543,980 $ 3,416,323 $ 3,893,395 Interest on net pension (asset)/obligation 1,077 19,785 18,501 Adjustment to annual required contribution (1,383) (25,479) (26,919) Annual pension cost 3,543,674 3,410,629 3,884,977 Contributions made (3,618,585) (3,658,704) (3,868,925) (Decrease) increase in net pension obligation (74,614) (248,075) 16,052 Net pension/obligation, beginning of yr. 14,658 262,733 246,681 Net pension (asset) obligation, end of year $ (60,253) $ 14,658 $ 262,733
The annual required contribution for fiscal year 2012 was determined as part of the October 1, 2011 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and (b) projected salary increases ranging from 4.00% to 13.13% per year, dependent on years of service. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 3.5%. The assumptions did not include post-retirement benefit increases, which are funded by the Authority when granted. Such assumptions are subject to future changes due to certain market conditions. The actuarial value of assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year period. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level dollar amount of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at September 30, 2011 was 22 years.

Funded Status and Funding Progress The most recent actuarial report for the Union Plan was prepared as of October 1, 2011. As of this point in time, the actuarial value of the Union Plan's assets was $87,639,137 and the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $93,786,097, resulting in an unfunded actuarial liability of $6,146,960 and a funded ratio of 93.45%. The annual covered payroll was $34,369,299 and the ratio of the funded excess to covered payroll was 17.89%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment and mortality trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Employee 401(a) Pension Plan - The Authority maintains a single-employer, defined contribution pension plan, Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority Money Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), administered by The Hartford for employees who are not represented by the Union, effective October 1, 1994. The Plan is a tax-qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time administrative employees not represented by the Union are eligible for participation in the plan, with the exception of employees hired before October 1, 1994 who opted to stay in the FRS and supervisors represented by Union 1749.
The Plan provisions provide for the Authority to contribute 12% of employee earnings; employees are not required
35
to make contributions. All plan amendments are administered and authorized by the Plan’s trustees. At the Plan’s inception, employees who switched from the FRS were automatically 100% vested and all other employees are 100% vested after five years of employment with the Authority or other public service or transportation agencies. All employees may withdraw vested balances upon the normal retirement age of 65. The Plan permits withdrawals for retirement, termination, and disability but does not allow participants to borrow against their accounts.
The payroll for Authority employees covered by the plan for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $9,998,373 and $9,142,063 respectively. The Authority’s contribution to the plan for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $1,166,749 and $1,097,048 respectively, representing 12% of covered payroll less forfeitures.
7. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION BENEFITS
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note 6, effective October 1, 1999, the Authority entered into a contractual agreement with Local 1596 of the Amalgamated Transit Union to provide postemployment health care benefits for those employees who, in accordance with Article 28 of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1596 Pension Plan, have at least ten (10) years vesting and retire between the ages of 62 and 67 or until they are eligible for Medicare benefits (whichever occurs first). Benefit provisions and contribution obligations have been established by the Authority’s Board. Eligibility for retirement health care benefits will be determined by the years of credited services.
In order to comply with the requirements of GASB 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, the Authority contracted with a certified actuarial firm to provide an actuarial valuation of postemployment benefits. The postemployment health insurance benefits will continue to be offered on a pay-as-you-go basis a percentage of the cost of the Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP, Employee Only) in accordance with the following schedule:
Years of Service Contribution Rate 10-14 60% of CDHP, Employee Only 15-19 75% of CDHP, Employee Only 20+ 100% of CDHP, Employee Only
Employees who elect to continue their health care coverage upon retirement are responsible for the employee and employer share over and above the previously stated contributions. Dependent coverage is available at the retiree’s expense provided the retiree elects to continue health care coverage. As required by the State of Florida Statute 112.08011, the claims experience of the retirees is co-mingled with active employees in determining the health plan cost. In accordance with GASB 45, the co-mingling of claims requirements equates to an implicit subsidy to retirees that creates another postemployment benefit (OPEB) liability on the part of the Authority. Therefore, the Authority will incur a liability at the beginning of this fiscal year for the implicit rate subsidy as the Authority implements GASB 45. The Authority does not intend to fund the actuarial accrued liability.
The Authority’s annual OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB 45. In the year of implementation, the net OPEB Obligation and the ARC are the same amount. The calculation produced an unfunded obligation of $248,924. The following table shows the components of the Authority’s OPEB cost for the year, the amount contributed to the plan, and changes in the Authority’s net OPEB obligation at September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, as follows:
36
September 30 2012 2011 2010 Annual required contribution $ 329,109 $ 335,849 $ 379,227 Interest on net OPEB obligation 29,148 19,249 9,957 Adjustment to annual required contribution (40,519) (26,759) (13,842) Annual OPEB cost 317,738 328,339 375,342 Contributions made (83,901) (80,873) (143,044) Increase in net OPEB obligation 233,837 247,466 232,298 Net OPEB obligation, beginning of year 728,688 481,222 248,924 Net OPEB obligation, end of year $ 962,525 $ 728,688 $ 481,222
As of the October 1, 2012 actuarial valuation date, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) was $4,074,600. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB Plan) was $38,177,711 and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 10.7%. The Authority’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for the year are as follows:
Year Ending
Annual OPEB Cost
Percentage of OPEB Cost Contributed
Net OPEB Obligation September 30, 2012 $317,738 26.4% $962,525 September 30, 2011 $328,339 24.6% $728,688 September 30, 2010 $375,342 38.1% $481,222
(A schedule of funding progress is presented on page 39.)
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. (As an unfunded plan, there are no plan assets to report.) Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The information presented in the required supplementary schedule was determined as a part of the actuarial valuation at the date indicated:
Valuation date October 1, 2011 Actuarial cost method Entry age normal cost Amortization method Level dollar/open Remaining amortization period 30 years Asset valuation method Pay as you go Actuarial assumptions: Projected salary increases 2.50% Investment rate 4.0% per year Healthcare cost trend (including 2.50% inflation)
9% initially and 4.5% ultimately, in 2014

8. COMMITMENTS
Operating Lease - Total lease expense amounted to $164,562 and $164,794 during the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
9. FUEL HEDGE SWAP AGREEMENTS
The Authority first entered into diesel fuel hedge swap agreements (“swaps”) during fiscal year 2011 in order to smooth out the fluctuation in diesel fuel cost and to set predetermined upper limits with respect to the cost of diesel fuel. Eight swaps have occurred through September 30, 2012 as follows:
Trade Total Quantity - Fixed Price Date Effective Date Gallons Per Gallon
05/15/12 10/01/12 – 09/30/13 840,000 $3.0125 05/17/12 10/01/12 – 09/30/13 840,000 $2.9400 06/29/12 10/01/12 – 09/30/13 756,000 $2.3800 06/29/12 10/01/12 – 09/30/13 1,104,000 $2.7300
Trade Total Quantity - Fixed Price Date Effective Date Gallons Per Gallon
05/03/11 05/01/11 – 10/31/11 720,000 $3.3160 05/06/11 05/06/11 – 10/31/11 360,000 $3.0050 05/06/11 11/01/11 – 09/30/12 1,430,000 $3.0420 09/23/11 11/01/11 – 09/30/12 770,000 $2.8900
Settlements with the counterparty are made monthly based on the difference between the number of gallons hedged at the fixed price and the number of gallons hedged at the average price per gallon based on the Gulf Coast Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Platts U.S. Index (“Platts”). If the Platts price is higher than the fixed price the counterparty pays the Authority a settlement amount and if the fixed price is higher than the Platts price the Authority pays the counterparty. The Authority is exposed to basis risk on the swaps if the index on which fuel is purchased differs from the Platts index specified in the related fuel hedge agreements. During fiscal year 2012, the Authority purchased all diesel fuel from vendors using the Platts index.
The Authority is also exposed to rollover risk on the swaps to the extent that the maturities of fuel hedges differ from the timing of fuel purchases. To the extent there are timing differences, the Authority is re-exposed to the fuel price risks being hedged.
The swaps are considered effective hedges at September 30, 2012 under the dollar-offset method, which compares the changes in expected cash flows of the hedging instruments to the cash flows of the diesel fuel subjected to hedge. Accordingly, the swaps are presented at estimated fair value on the balance sheet, with $744,896 as a deferred outflow of resources and derivative financial instrument on the balance sheet at September 30, 2012. The estimated fair value of the swaps is determined based on contracted strike prices and applicable futures prices at September 30, 2012, and these values represent the change in fair value of the swaps during the fiscal year.
10. LITIGATION
The Authority is contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary course of its operation, most of which are covered by the self-insurance program discussed in Note 5. In the opinion of management, any adjustments that would result from the settlement of lawsuits and other claims would not be significant.

Actuarial and Benefit Changes Changes in benefit provisions for the Union Pension Plan during prior fiscal years were as follows: Effective October 1, 2004, the Board of Trustees adopted several economic and demographic assumption changes based on the Five Year Experience Study issued November 2004. The combined changes caused the employer contribution to change from $3,060,496 to $3,056,186. Also, effective October 1, 2004, required employer contributions in excess of 9.75% of payroll will be shared between employer (65%) and employees (35%) beginning October 1, 2005. Effective November 9, 2004, amendment No. 4 allows a spouse to waive the joint and survivor form of annuity. Also, effective November 9, 2004, amendment No. 5 provides for an additional level of enhanced benefits. Members elect to receive an additional .25% of final average compensation for service during which they contribute an additional 2.5% of pay as a member contribution. This enhanced benefit is in addition to the previous enhanced benefit available. There is no impact on the plan. The increased member contribution supports the increased benefits. Effective May 10, 2005, amendment No. 6 makes changes in the administration of disability pension benefits. Effective for the contribution year beginning October 1, 2007 the mortality rates were updated to the 1994 Group Annual Mortality (GAM), eliminating the one year set ahead for males, and revised results from October 1, 2002 forward to hold a payable amount for Share Accounts.

Source: Financial Statements
For the past 10 years the chart shows the change in net assets each year versus the immediately preceding year. Since fiscal 2003, net assets year over year increased every year peakingin fiscal year 2006 at $22.6 million. The design, development and construction of the new LYNX Central Station (LCS) and LYNX Operations Center (LOC) , as well as the acquisitionof rolling stock and other capital assets caused a steep rise from fiscal year 2003, continuing through fiscal year 2006, with a decline in fiscal year 2007 with the completion ofconstruction at the LOC. The increase each fiscal year after fiscal year 2007 was relatively modest compared to fiscal year 2006. The 3.5 million decrease in fiscal year 2012 was belowthat of fiscal year 2011 due mainly to the completion of passenger amenities constructed with ARRA funds.

The table and graph show the primary sources of revenues, the amount received from each source over the last ten years and,consequently, the Authority's relative dependency on each of the revenue sources. Local and state governments haveconsistently been the biggest providers of operating funds. Fares increased in 2012 due to greater ridership; fares were up9.6% compared to 2011. Although the increase in local & state revenues and federal assistanace offset the decrease in otherrevenues from 2011, total revenues were higher due to the increase in fares. The local and state economies remained sluggishthroughout 2012. In 2012 federal revenue continued its increasing trend amounting to 17.1% of LYNX's total revenue versus16.7% in 2011.

Median household income is useful in public transportation planning because it is one determinant of the need for, and probability of use, ofpublic transportation. The lower the median income the greater, in most cases, will be the need for, and use of, public transportation.Overall the tri-county area median income decreased from 2011.

The table and graph show total miles and operating expenses per mile by year for the past ten years. These provide, directlyand indirectly, some key operational indicators such as efficiency in use of operating assistance funding and the quality ofthe maintenance program. There was a steady increase in Revenue Miles and Vehicles Miles until 2009 when service wasreduced due to budgetary constraints. The increase in Operating Expense Per Revenue Mile is reflective of increase in costfor material and services without a corresponding increase in miles and ridership. In 2012 the decrease in OperatingExpense Per Vehicle Mile and Revenue Mile is due mainly to decreases in fuel prices. The ratio of Revenue Miles versusVehicle Miles represents the level of service miles delivered to patrons versus the total level of miles required to service allroutes.
