VILLAGE OF HEFLIN, LOUISIANA NOTES t o FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31,2010

INTRODUCTION

The Village of Heflin, Louisiana (the Village) was incorporated under the provisions of the Lawrason Act. The Village is located in the Parish of Webster, being in the northwest comer of the State. The Village operates tmder a Mayor-Board of Aldermen form of govemmeiit •

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements of the Village have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Govemmental Accoimting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing govermnental accoimting and financial reporting principles.

A Govemment-Wide and Fund Financial Statements

The govemment-wide linancial statements (i.e., the statement ofnet assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary govemment and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed firom these statements. Govemmental activities, which noraiaUy are supported by taxes and intergovemmental revenues, are reported separately fi'om business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.

The statement of activities demonstrates tiie degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific fimction or segment Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit fix)m goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particidar fimction or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fidticiary funds, even though the latter are excluded fi'om the govemment-wide financial statements. Major individual govemmental fimds and major enteiprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund fmancial statements.

VILLAGE OF HEFLIN, LOUISL\NA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31,2010

a Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation

The govemment-wide financial statements are reported usmg the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fimds financial statements. Revenues are recorded when eamed and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Governmental fimd financial statements are reported usnag the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, fhe govenmient considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days ofthe end ofthe current fiscal period. Although most expenditures are recorded when a Uability is incurred, as under accrual accounting, the measurement focus of a governmental fund significantly affects what items are to be considered expenditures in the governmental fund. Expenditures, and the related liabilities, are accmed w^en they are expected to be paid out of revenues recognized during the current period. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expen<Utures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All otiier revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

The municipality reports the following major govemmental fimds:

The General Fund is the municipality's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources, ofthe general government, except those reqmred to be accounted for in another fund.

The municipality reports one major proprietary fimd. The enterprise fimd is used to account for operations (a) where the intent of the goveming body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges, or (b) where the goveming body has decided tiiat periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.

VILLAGE OF HEFLIN, LOUISIANA NOTES TO FINANCLM: STATEMENTS

December 31,2010

Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,1989, generally are followed in both the govemment-wide and proprietary fimd financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance ofthe Govemmental Accounting Standards Board. Govemments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to the same limitation. The govermnent has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.

As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated fix)m the govemment-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the government's enterprise operations. Eliminations of these charges would distort direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concemed.

Amoimts 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. Intemally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.

Proprietary fimds distinguish operating revenues and expenses fi*om nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fimd's principal ongoing operations. The principal operatii^ revenues of the proprietary fimds are from charges for electrical, water and sewerage services. Operating expenses for enterprise ftmds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this defmition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the municipality's policy to use restricted resources first, then umestricted resources as they are needed.

C. Deposits and Investments

Cash includes amounts in demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, and money market accounts. Cash equivalents include amounts in time deposits, those investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Under state law, the Village may deposit fimds in demand deposits, money market accounts, or time deposits with state banks organized under Louisiana law and national banks having their principal offices in Louisiana.

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents mclude cash, demand deposits, and certificates of deposit Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost

Vfl̂ LAGE OF HEFLIN, LOUISIANA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31,2010

Under state law, the VUlage may invest m United States bonds, treasury notes, and certificates. In addition, the ViUage may invest in bonds, debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and provided such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S and also collateralized mortgage obligations, which have not been stripped mto interest only and principal only obligations. These are classified as investments if tiiefr original maturities exceed 90 days; however, if the original maturities are 90 days or less, they are classified as cash equivalents. Investments are reported at fair value, w^ch is determined using selected bases. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Long-term mvestments, those with original maturities greater than one (1) year, are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchai^e rates.

D. Receivables and Payables

In the government-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenues eamed at year-end and not yet received. Allowances for uncollectible receivables are based upon historical trends and the periodic aging of accounts receivable. Major receivable balances for the govemmental activities include sales and use taxes, ad valorem taxes, fi-anchise taxes, police fines, and grants. Business-type activities report utilities as then- major receivable.

In the fund finaiicial statements, material receivables in govemmental funds include revenue accruals such as franchise tax, grants and other intergovenmiental revenues since they are usually both measurable and available. Nonexchange transactions collectible birt not available are deferred in tiie fimd financial statements in accordance with modified accrual, but not deferred in the govemment-wide financial statements in accordance with the accrual basis. Interest and investment eamings are recorded when eamed and only if paid withm 60 days since they would be considered both measurable and available.

E, Restricted Assets

Restricted assets include cash and investments ofthe proprietaiy fimd that are legally restricted as to their use. The primary restricted assets are related to utiUty meter deposits.

F. Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infiiastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable govermnental or business-type activities colimins in the government-wide financial statements. Coital assets are c^italized at historical cost or estimated cost if historical cost is not available. Donated assets

are recorded as capital assets at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The village mamtains a threshold level of $2,500 or more for capitalizing capital assets.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.

Major outlays for capital assets and unprovements are capitalized as projects are constructed. All coital assets, other than land, are depreciated using the straight-Hne method over the following useftil lives:

Description Roads, bridges, and infrastructure Land improvements Buildings and building improvements Fumiture and fixtures Vehicles Equipment

Estimated Lives

25-50 years 10-30 years 10-40 years 5-15 years 5-10 years 5-15 years

G. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accoimting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabiUties and disclosure of contingent assets and liabiUties at the date ofthe financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenditures, and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

BUDGET INFORMATION: The ViUage foUows tiiese procedures in estabUshing the budgetaiy data reflected in these financial statements:
