These component unit financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 1, the component unit financial statements present only the Agency and are not intended to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Town of Los Gatos in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the component unit financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Redevelopment Agency of the Town of Los Gatos as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 and the results of operations for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS Notes To Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE I - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLIC'fFc A. Description of the Redevelopment Agency and Redevelopment Plan - The Redevelopment Agency of the Town of Los Gatos (the Agency) was created on December 4, 1989 under the provisions of the Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code), for clearance and rehabilitation of areas determined to be in a declining condition in the Project Area. A Redevelopment Plan was adopted on November 25, 1991 to provide an improved physical, social and economic environm ent in the Central Los Gatos Redevelopment Project Area. As part of the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency entered into agreements with various taxing authorities which required the Agency to pass through portions of incremental property taxes to each taxing authority. Expenditures for these pass - through agreements amounted to $248,201 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The Agency is authorized to finance the Plan from various sources, including assistance from the Town, the state and federal governments, property tax increments interest income and the issuance of Agency debt. The Agency is an integral part of the Town of Los Gatos and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are included as a component of the general purpose financial statements Prepared by the Town. A component unit is a separate governmental unit agency or nonprofit corporation which, when combined with all other component units, constitutes the reporting entity as defined in the Town's general purpose financial statements. B. Description of Funds - The accounts of the Agency are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self - balancing accounts which comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. The Agency uses a capital projects fund, which is used to account for all resources used in the acquisition and construction of capital facilities and other fixed assets under the Redevelopment Plan. C. Basis of Accounting - refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the component unit financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the tinting of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. Governmental fund types are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting, under which revenues are recognized when received, or accrued when they become available and measurable as net current assets. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred. Revenues susceptible to accrual consist principally of intergovernmental revenues. D. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - The Agency adopts a budget effective July I for the capital projects fund. During the year ended June 30, 1998 the Agency incurred encumbrances which are reported as budgetary expenditures. However, since encumbrances represent commitments on open purchase orders, they are not included as expenditures reported in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 0 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS Notes To Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS Agency cash is included in a Town -wide cash and investment pool. Details of the Town's cash and investment pool are presented in the Town's general purpose financial statements. The Town's investment policy and the California Government Code permit investments in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and its agencies, commercial paper, banker's acceptances, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, medium term notes, passbook savings account deman mutual funds and the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund. d deposits, Marking Investments to Fair Market Value (GASB 31) In fiscal 1998 the Agency adopted Government Accounting Standards Board Statement 31, which requires that the Agency's investments be carried at fair market value instead of cost. Under GASB 31, the Agency must adjust the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair market value at each fiscal year end, and it must include the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year. GASB 31 applies to all the Agency's investments, even if they are held to maturity and redeemed at full face value. Since the Agency's policy is to hold all investments to maturity, the fair market value adjustments required by GASB 31 result in accounting gains or losses (called "recognized" gains or ` losses) which do not reflect actual sales of the investments (called "realized" gains or losses). Thus, Jc� recognized gains or losses on an investment purchased at par will now reflect changes in its market value at each succeeding fiscal year end, but these recognized gains or losses will net to zero if the investment is held to maturity. By following the requirements of GASB 31, the Agency the amount of resources which would actually have been available if it had been required to liquidate all its investments at any fiscal year end. GASB 31 requires the Agency to restate June 30, 1997 fund balances for fair market adjustments, if material. The Agency has determined that the amounts of any such adjustments would not be material. 5 At June 30, 1998 the fair market value of the Agency's investments was $8,117 higher than the carrying value, resulting in a recognized gain for accounting purposes which was not realized in cash. The Agency's portion of this gain has been included in fiscal 1998 income. NOTE 3 - ADVANCE FROM'Iq� TOWN Agency operations have been partially funded by advances from the Town, which bear interest at 10% and are repayable on demand, provided that sufficient tax increment revenue funds are available. These advances are not expected to be repaid in the current fiscal year. For fiscal year ended June 30, i 1998 the Agency paid interest in the amount of $20,000. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS Notes To Component Unit Financial Statements NOTE 4 - REIlI�URSEMENT AGREEMENT The Town issued Certificates of Participation (COPS) in the original principal amount of $2,960,000 dated August 1, 1992 to finance certain construction costs of the Town's Parldng Lot 4 Project, which was constructed on land within the Central Los Gatos Project Area. The COPS are similar to debt; they allow investors to participate in a share of guaranteed payments which are made by the Town. Because they are similar to debt, the present value of the total of the payments to be made by the Town is recorded as long -term debt. Principal payments are due annually on August 1, with interest payments payable semi - annually on February 1 and August 1. The Town has pledged motor vehicle license fee revenues as collateral for the repayment of the Certificates.
