Management's Discussion and Analysis

As management of the Gravity Drainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish, a component unit ofthe Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, we offer readers of the District's financial statements this narrativeoverview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended December 31,2004.Please read it in conjunction with the District's Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements,

Financial Highlights

A. The District's assets exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year ended December 31,2004 by $9,358,235 (net assets). Of this amount, $5,031 r823 (unrestricted net assets) may beused to meet the District's ongoing obligations to creditors.

B. The District's total net assets increased by $644,047.

Overview of the Financial Statements

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Gravity Drainage District No. 5of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish, a component unit of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury's basic financialstatements. The District's basic financial statements are comprised of four components: 1) Management'sDiscussion and Analysts (this section), 2) the Basic Financial Statements, 3) Notes to the FinancialStatements and 4) Supplemental Information,

Government-wide Financial Statements. The Government-wide Financial Statements are designed toprovide readers with a broad overview of the District's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sectorbusiness. These statements, for the first time, combine governmental fund's current financial resources withcapital assets and long-term obligations.

The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities, with thedifference between the two reported as net assets. Overtime, increases or decreases in net assets may serveas a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.

The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed duringthe most recent fiscal year. AH changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving riseto the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reportedin this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. (e.g>, uncollectedtaxes).

Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control overresources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Gravity Drainage District No.5 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish, a component unit of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, like other state andlocal governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financial-related legalrequirements. All of the funds of the District belong to one category: governmental funds.

GovernmentalJunds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reportedas governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. However, unlike the Govemment-

wide Financial Statements, Governmental Fund Financial Statements focus on near-term inflows andoutflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of thefiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financial requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the Government-wide FinancialStatements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental fluids with similarinformation presented for governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. By doingso, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financial decisions.Both the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues,Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison betweengovernmental funds and governmental activities.

The District maintains three governmental funds. Information is presented in the Governmental FundBalance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in FundBalances for each fund.

The District adopts an annual budget for each fund. A budgetary comparative schedule has been providedfor each fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a fullunderstanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. The notes tothe financial statements are a required part of the basic financial statements and can be found as noted in thetable of contents of this report.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds

Governmental Funds. The focus of the District's governmental fluid is to provide information on near-terminflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the District'sfinancing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a usefal measure of agovernment's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

As of the end of the current year, the District's Governmental Fund reported an ending balance of$4,933,647 a decrease of $314,642 in comparison with the prior year. The amount of $4,451,682 isunreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the District's discretion.

The general fund is the chief operating fund of the District. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity,it may be useful to compare fund balance to total fund expenditures. Total fund balance representsapproximately 154% of total general fund expenditures.

As a componentunit, the accompanying financial statements are included within the reporting of the primarygovernment, either blended into those financial statements or separately reported as discretecomponent units.

NOTE1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statementof changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the GravityDrainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish. For the most part, the effect ofinterfund activity has been removed from these statements.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a givenfunction or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearlyidentifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges tocustomers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, orprivileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that arerestricted to meetings the operational or capital requirements of a particular function orsegment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reportedinstead as general revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds. AH individualgovernmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

B. Reporting Entity

The District is a component unit of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, the financial reportingentity. The police jury is financially accountable for the District because it appoints a votingmajority of the board and has the ability to impose its will on them.

NOTE1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements present information only on the funds maintained bythe District and do not present information on the police jury, the general government servicesprovided by that governmental unit, or the other governmental units that comprise the financialreporting entity.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resourcesmeasurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earnedand expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grantsand similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed bythe provider have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resourcesmeasurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognizedas soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be availablewhen they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilitiesof the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available ifthey are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generallyare recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt serviceexpenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims andjudgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Property taxes, reimbursements, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are allconsidered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the currentfiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only whencash is received by the government. Interfund transfers are made to meet current or anticipatedneeds of the District.

The Gravity Drainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of Calcasicu Parish reports the followinggovernmental funds:

The General Fund is the entity's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financialresources of the entity, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

The Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial resourcesfor equipment acquisitions.

NOTE1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for theacquisition or construction of major capital facilities.

Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,1989, generally are followed in the government-wide financial statements to the extent thatthose standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental AccountingStandards Board.

As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-widefinancial statements.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the entity's policyto use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

D. Deposits and Investments

The entity's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, andshort-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date ofacquisition. State law and the Gravity Drainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish'sinvestment policy allow the entity to invest in collateralized certificates of deposits,government back securities, commercial paper, the state sponsored investment pool, andmutual funds consisting solely of government backed securities.

E. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting

A budget is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for allgovernmental funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. In November of eachyear, the budget is prepared by fund, function and activity, and includes information on the pastyear, current year estimates and requested appropriations for the next fiscal year.

The proposed budget is presented to the government's Board of Commissioners for review.The board holds a public hearing and may add to, subtract from or change appropriations, butmay not change the form of the budget. Any changes in the budget must be within therevenues and reserves estimated. The budget was amended one time during the year. Allfunds expenditures exceeded budgeted amounts.

2004-11/C (Material weakness)Segregation of duties: Because of the lack of a large staff, more specifically accounting personnel, there is aproblem with segregation of duties necessary for proper controls. One person is currently performing thefunction of preparing disbursements, and reconciling the bank statements. We do note that this situation isinherent to most entities of this type and is difficult to solve due to the funding limitations of the District.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITHGOVERNMENT A UDJTING STANDARDS

Board of CommissionersGravity Drainage District No. 5

of Ward 4 of Calcasieu ParishA Component Unit of the

Calcasieu Parish Police JurySulphur, Louisiana

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Gravity DrainageDistrict No. 5 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish as of and for the year ended December 31,2004, which collectivelycomprise the Gravity Drainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish's basic financial statements andhave issued our report thereon dated June 2, 2005. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditingstandards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial auditscontained in Government Auditing Standards^ issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered Gravity Drainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of CalcasieuParish's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purposeof expressing our opinions on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control overfinancial reporting. However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reportingand its operation that we consider to be re port able conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters comingto our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financialreporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect Gravity Drainage District No. 5 of Ward 4 of CalcasieuParish's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions ofmanagement in the financial statements. Reportable conditions are described in the accompanying schedule offindings as items 2004-1 I/C and 2004-2I/C.

A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internalcontrol components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraudin amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not bedetected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Ourconsideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in theinternal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose allreportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, of the reportable conditionsdescribed above, we consider items 2004-1 I/C and 2004-2 I/C to be material weaknesses.P.O. Box 1238 521 N. 8th Si.Sulphur.

Compliance and Other Matters

However, providing an opinion oncompliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express suchan opinion. The results of our tests disclosed instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required tobe reported under Government Auditing Standards which are described in the accompanying schedule offindings as item 2004-1 C.
