I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. THE FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY In August 2405, the governing boards of the Chico Redevelopment Agency, which due to State Assembly Bill 1X 2b is now known as the City of Chico, Successor Agency to the Chico Redevelopment Agency {Agency} and the County of Butte established a joint powers agency known as the Chico Urban Area Joint Powers Financing Authority (JPFA) to facilitate the financing, construction and installation of sewer facilities and improvements in the greater Chico urban area. The JPFA was farmed pursuant to the provisions of the joint powers laws of the State of California, as set forth in Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California Government Code {commencing with Government Code Section 6500). The JPFA is authorized to obtain state or federal loans for the purpose of financing the construction and installation of sewer facilities and improvements. The construction activity of the JPFA is included in the City of Chico's Financial statements as a discretely presented component unit as the infrastructure will belong to the City's Sewer Enterprise Fund as each phase of the project is completed. B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the JPFA. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: (1} charges to customers who purchase, use, or directly benefit from 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 particular function or segment. Investment earnings and other items which are excluded from program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for the JPFA's major governmental fund and are reported as a separate column in the fund financial statements. C. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND MEASUREMENT FOCUS The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the relaked cash flows. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using 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 collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the JPFA CHICO URBAN AREA JOINT POWERS FINANCING AUTHORITY {A Component Unit of the City of Chico, California) Notes to Financial Statements (Continued} Year Ended June 30, 2[112 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND MEASUREMENT FOCUS (Continued) considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. ' Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. Inveshuent earnings are considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenue of the current period. Other revenues are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the 7PFA. The activities of the 3PFA are accounted for in a capital projects fund. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the JPFA's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET ASSETS OR EQUITY CaAital Assets Although the JPFA's sole purpose is to construct infrastructure to facilitate the installation of sewer connections for residents located in the benefited area, the infrastructure is not owned by the )PFA, and as a result, the construction costs of the sewer infrastructure are shown as construction expenditures (nat capital assets) in these financial statements. As the project is completed, the infrastructure will be received by the City of Chico's Sewer Enterprise Fund as capital assets. Long-Term Liabilities In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities and in the fund fmancial statements; the face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Fund Equity Restricted fund balances include amounts that can he spent only for the specific proposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation.

Custodial Credit Risk (Cantntued) Custodial credit risk far deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the countezparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover fine value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits and securities lending transactions: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by depository regulated under stated law. The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. As of lone 30, 2012, the JPFA had $9,691,522 in LAIF and a negative cash balance {draw} of the City's cash pool in the amount ~$2,807,972> for a net cash balance th these statements totaling $6,$83,550. III. Cancentratipn of Credit Risk The investment policy contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stated above. IV Interest Rate mrd Credit Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity its fair value is to changes in market interest rates. As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value Losses arising from rising interest rates, the 1PFA manages its exposure to interest rate risk by investing in the Local Agency Investment Fund (I.AIF), which provides the necessary cash. flow and liquidity needed for operations, as well as purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturing evenly over time. The segmented time distribution method is used for reporting interest rate risk. Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. It is the City's policy to purchase investments with the minimum ratings required by the California Government Code.
