The basic financial statements present two different views oft the Town through the use of government-wide statements and fund financial statements. In addition to the basic financial statements, this report contains other supplemental information that will enhance the reader's understanding oft the financial condition of the Town ofValdese.  4    Required Components of Annual Financial Report  Figure: 1  Management's Discussion and Analysis  Basic Financial Statements  Government-wide Financial Statements  Fund Financial Statements  Notes tot the Financial Statements  Summary--  Detail  Basic Financial Statements  The first two statements (Exhibits 1 and 2) in the basic financial statements are the Government-wide Financial Statements. They provide both short and long-term information about the Town's financial status. The next statements (Exhibits! 31 through 10) are. Fund Financial Statements. These statements focus on1 the activities ofthei individual parts oft the Town's government. These statements provide more detail than the government-wide statements. There are: four parts to thel Fund Financial Statements: 1)t the governmental funds statements; 2) the budgetary comparison statements; and 3) the proprietary fund statements. The next section oft the basic financial statements is thei notes. The notes to the financial statements explain in detail some oft the data contained in those statements. After the notes, supplemental information is provided to show details about the Town's individual funds. Budgetary information required by the General Statutes also can  be found int this part oft the statements.  5    Goyermment-Wide Financial Statements.  The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader with a broad overview ofthe Town's finances, similar ini format to a financial statement ofap private-sector business. The government-wide statements provide short and long-term information about the' Town's financial status as a whole. The two government-wide statements report the' Town's net position and how it has changed. Net position is the difference between the Town's total assets and total liabilities, Measuring net position is one way to gauge the The government-wide statements are divided into three categories: I)governmental activities; 2) business-type activities; 3) component units. The governmental activities include most oft the Town's basic. services such as public safety, parks and recreation, and general administration. Property taxes and State and federal grant funds finance most ofthese activities. Thel business-type activities are those that the Town charges customers to provide. This includes the water and sewer services offered by the Town ofValdese. The final category is the component unit, Although legally separate from the Town, the ABC Board is important to the Town. The Town exercises control over thel Board by appointing its members and because thel Board is required to distribute its  Town's financial condition.  profits to the' Town.  The government-wide financial statements are on Exhibits 1 and 2 ofthis report.  Fund Financial Statements  The fund financial statements (see) Figure 1) provide a more detailed look at the Town's most significant activities. A fund is a grouping of related accounts thati is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town of Valdese, like all other governmental entities in North Carolina, uses fund accounting to ensure and to reflect compliance (or non-compliance) with finance-related legal requirements, such as the General Statutes or the Town's budget ordinance. All ofthe funds of the' Town of Valdese can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds. Governmental Funds - Governmental funds are used to account for those functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Most oft the' Town's basic services are accounted fori in governmental funds. These funds focus on how assets can readily be converted into cash flow in and out and what monies are left at year-end that will be available for spending in the next year. Governmental funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting which provides as short-term spending focus. Asaresult, the governmental fund financial statements give the reader a detailed short-term view that helps him or her determine ifthere are: more or less financial resources available to finance the Town's programs. The relationship between government activities (reported in the Statement ofNet Position and the Statement of Activities) and governmental: funds is described in ai reconciliation that is a part ofthe fund: financial statements. The Town ofValdese adopts an annual budget for its General Fund, as required by the General Statutes. The budget is al legally adopted document thati incorporates input from the citizens of the Town, the management of the' Town, and the decisions of thel Board about which services to provide and how to pay for them. Italso authorizes the Town to obtain funds from identified sources to finance these current period activities. The budgetary statement provided for the General Fund demonstrates how well the Town complied with the budget ordinance and whether or not the Town: succeeded inj providing the: services as] planned when the budget was adopted. The budgetary comparison statement uses thel budgetary basis ofaccounting and is presented using the same format, language, and classifications as the legal budget document. The statement shows four columns: 1) the original budget as adopted by thel Board; 2) the final budget as amended by the Board; 3) the actual resources, charges to appropriations, and ending balances in the General Fund; and 4) the difference or variance between the  final budget and the actual resources and charges.  6    Proprietary Funds - The Town of Valdese has one proprietary fund. Enterprise Funds are used to report the same: functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide: financial statements. The' Town of Valdese uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer activity. This fund is the same as those functions shown in the business-type activities in the Statement ofNet Position and the Statement of Activities. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to ai full understanding oft the data provided in the government-wide: and fund financial statements. The notes to the Other) Information - In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report includes certain required supplementary information concerning the Town of Valdese's progress in funding its obligation toj provide pension benefits to its employees.

Utility Fund - This fund is used to account for the Town's water and sewer operations.  In accordance with North Carolina General Statutes, all funds of the Town are maintained during the Government-wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus. The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are: reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are: recorded when earned, and expenses are: recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when thei related cash flows take place. Non-exchange transactions, in which the Town gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in thei fiscal year for which the taxes are. levied. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in thei fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services andj producing and delivering goods inc connection with aj proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Town' 's enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. The' Town also recognizes as operating revenue the portion oftap fees intended to recover the cost ofc connecting new customers to the water and sewer system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost ofs sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are: reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. Governmental Fund Financial Statements - Governmental funds are: reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis ofaccounting. Under this method, revenues arei recognized when measurable and available. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal andi interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured, General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are: reported as other  financing sources.  25    TOWN OF VALDESE, NORTH CAROLINA Notes to the Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019  The' Town considers all revenues available if they are collected within 90 days after year-end, except for property taxes. Ad valorem taxes receivable are not accrued as ai revenue because the amount is not susceptible to accrual. AtJune 30, taxes receivable for property other than: motor vehicles are materially past due and are: not considered to be an available resource to finance the operations oft the current year. Also, as of September 1, 2013, State law altered the procedures for the assessment and collection ofproperty taxes on registered motor vehicles in North Carolina. Effective with this change int the law, the State ofNorth Carolina is responsible for billing and collecting thej property taxes on registered motor vehicles on behalfofa all municipalities and special tax districts. Property taxes are due when the vehicles are registered. The billed taxes are applicable to the fiscal year in which they are received. Uncollected taxes that were billed in periods prior to September 1, 2013, and for limited: registration plates, are: shown as ai receivable in these financial statements and are Sales taxes and certain intergovernmental revenues, such as the utilities franchise tax, collected and held by the State at year-end on behalf oft the' Town are recognized as revenue. Intergoyernmental revenues and sales and services are: not susceptible to accrual because, generally, they are not measurable until received in cash. Grant revenues which are unearned at year-end are recorded as unearned revenues. Under the terms ofg grant agreements, the Town funds certain programs bya combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program expenses are incurred, there arel both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program, Itis the Town's! policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues, The Town's budgets are adopted as required by the North Carolina General Statutes. An annual budget is adopted for the General Fund and thel Enterprise Funds. All annual appropriations lapse at the fiscal year-end. Project ordinances are adopted for the Capital Project Funds, Special Revenue Funds and thel Enterprise Fund Capital Projects Funds, which are consolidated with the operating funds for reporting purposes. All budgets are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the department level for all annually budgeted funds and at the object level for the multi-year funds. The Town manager has unlimited authority to transfer appropriations within a department. He is authorized to transfer up to $1,000 between departments of the same fund with subsequent Board approval. During the year, several immaterial amendments to the original budget were: necessary. Thel budget ordinance must be adopted by July 1 ofthe fiscal year, or the governing board must adopt an interim budget that covers that time until annual ordinance can be adopted. The Capital Outlay Fund is not required to be  offset by deferred inflows of resources.  D.

Under the Dedicated Method, all deposits that exceed thei federal depository insurance coverage level are collateralized with securities held by the Town's or the ABC Board's agent in these units' names. Under the Pooling Method, which is a collateral pool, all uninsured deposits are collateralized with securities held by the State Treasurer's agent in the name oft the State Treasurer. Since the State Treasurer is acting in a fiduciary capacity for the Town and the ABC Board, these deposits are considered to bel held by the Town's and the ABC Board's agent int their names. The amount ofthe pledged collateral is based on an approved averaging method for non-interest bearing deposits and the actual current balance for interest-bearing deposits. Depositories using thel Pooling Method report to the State Treasurer the adequacy of their pooled collateral covering uninsured deposits. The State Treasurer does not confirm this information with the Town, the ABC Board, or the escrow agent. Because ofthe inability to measure the exact amounts ofcollateral pledged: for the' Town and the ABC Board under thel Pooling Method, the potential exists for under-colateralization, and this risk may increase in periods ofhigh cash flows. However, the State Treasurer ofl North Carolina enforces strict standards off financial stability for each depository that collateralizes public deposits under thel Pooling Method. The Town has no formal policy regarding custodial credit risk for deposits, but relies on the State Treasurer to enforce standards ofn minimum capitalization for alll Pooling Method financial institutions and to monitor them for compliance. The Town complies with thej provisions ofG.S. 159-31 when designating official depositories and verifying that deposits are properly secured. The ABC Board has no formal policy regarding custodial credit risk for deposits.  AtJune 30, 2019, the Town's deposits had a carrying amount of $140,135 and a bank balance of $290,506. Ofthe bank balance, $258,686 was covered by federal depository insurance, and the remainder was covered by collateral held under the Pooling Method. The carrying amount of deposits for the ABCI Board was $113,078, and the bank balance was $102,072.

Assumptions. The total pension liability in the December 31, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the  measurement: Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return  3.0 percent productivity factor including inflation  3.50 to 8.10 percent, including inflation and 7.00 percent, net of pension plan investment expense,  The plan currently uses mortality tables that vary by age, gender, employee group (i.e., general, law enforcement officer) and health status (.e., disabled and healthy). The current mortality rates are based onj published tables and based on studies that cover significant portions of the U.S. population. The healthy mortality rates also contain aj provision to reflect future mortality improvements. The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31,2 2016 valuation were based on the results ofan actuarial experience study for the period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2014. Future ad hoc COLA amounts are not considered to be substantively automatic and are therefore not The projected long-term investment returns and inflation assumptions are developed through review of current and historical capital markets data, sell-side investment research, consultant whitepapers, and historical performance ofi investment strategies. Fixed income return projections reflect current yields across the U.S. Treasury yield curve and market expectations of forward yields projected and interpolated for multiple tenors and over multiple year horizons. Global public equity return projections are established through analysis of the equity risk premium and the fixed income return projections. Other asset categories and strategies' return projections reflect the foregoing and historical data analysis. These projections are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class as of. June 30, 2017 are summarized in the following table:  included in the measurement.  40    TOWN OF VALDESE, NORTH CAROLINA Notes to the Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2019  Asset Class Fixed Income Global Equity Real Estate Alternatives Credit Inflation Protection Total  Target Allocation 29.0% 42.0% 8.0% 8.0% 7.0% 6.0% 100%  Long-Term Expected Real Rate of] Return  1.4% 5.3% 4.3% 8.9% 6.0% 4.0%  The information above is based on 30 year expectations developed with the consulting actuary for the 2016 asset, liability and investment policy study for the North Carolina Retirement Systems, including LGERS. The long-term nominal rates ofreturn underlying the real rates of return are arithmetic annualized figures. The real rates of return are calculated from nominal rates by multiplicatively subtracting al long-term inflation assumption of3.00%. All rates of return and inflation are annualized. Discount rate, The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will bei made at the current contribution rate and that contributions from employers will be made ats statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of the current plan members.
