Independent Auditors' Report

Members of the Arizona State Legislature The Governing Board of Mohave County Community College District We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of Mohave County Community College District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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. In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mohave County Community College District as of June 30, 2002, and the changes in financial position and cash flows of the District for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As described in Note 2, the District adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements--and Management's Discussion and Analysis--for Public Colleges and Universities, for the year ended June 30, 2002, to implement a new financial reporting model. The Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages i through viii is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

2910 NORTH 44 th STREET   SUITE 410   PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85018   (602) 553 -0333   FAX (602) 553-0051

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the District's basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 18, 2003, on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

Mohave County Community College District Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended June 30, 2002
This discussion and analysis of the District's financial performance provides an overview of the District's financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2002. Please read it in conjunction with the District's basic financial statements, which immediately follow. Since this is the implementation year for financial reporting under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 35, only 1 year of financial data is presented. In future years, a comparative analysis of financial data will be presented.

Basic Financial Statements
Beginning with fiscal year 2001-02, the District is required to present annual financial statements in accordance with newly effective pronouncements issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the authoritative body for establishing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for state and local governments, including public institutions of higher education. These new pronouncements permit public colleges and universities to use the guidance for special-purpose governments engaged only in business-type activities, in that their format has shifted from a columnar fund group format to a consolidated, single-column, entity-wide format, similar to the type of financial statements one might encounter from a typical business enterprise or a not-for-profit organization. The basic financial statements consist of the following: The Statement of Net Assets reflects the District's financial position at June 30, 2002. It shows the various assets owned or controlled, related liabilities and other obligations, and the various categories of net assets. Net assets is an accounting concept defined as total assets less total liabilities, and as such, represents the institutional equity or ownership in the District's total assets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflects the results of operations and other changes for the year ended June 30, 2002. It shows the various revenues and expenses, both operating and nonoperating, reconciling the beginning net assets amount to the ending net assets amount, which is shown on the Statement of Net Assets described above. The Statement of Cash Flows reflects the inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents for the year ended June 30, 2002. It shows the various cash activities by type, reconciling the beginning cash and cash equivalents amount to the ending cash and cash equivalents amount, which is shown on the Statement of Net Assets described above. In addition, this statement reconciles cash flows from operating activities to the operating loss reported on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets described above.

i

Mohave County Community College District Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended June 30, 2002
The condensed financial information below highlights the main categories of the Statement of Net Assets. Assets and liabilities are distinguished as to their current or noncurrent nature. Current liabilities are typically those obligations intended for liquidation or payment within the next fiscal year, while current assets are those resources that are available for use in meeting the on-going operating needs of the District, including its current liabilities. Net assets are divided into three categories, reflecting the broad characteristics of institutional equity in the assets of the organization. In addition to its capital assets, the District holds resources that have been restricted by external parties for specific programs, projects, and purposes. Remaining net assets carry no external restrictions, but are dedicated toward carrying out the District's primary missions and necessary support services. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the District's financial position is improving or deteriorating.

Mohave County Community College District Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended June 30, 2002
The condensed financial information below highlights the main categories of the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Tuition and fees--net of scholarship allowances, in the amount of $1,921,312, are included in operating revenues. In compliance with the new pronouncements issued by GASB, scholarship allowances are now recorded as deductions from tuition and fees revenues instead of as scholarship expense. Depreciation expense is recorded for the first time this fiscal year in accordance with the implementation of the new reporting model. The construction and acquisition of capital assets, although budgeted and recorded as an expense in the accounting system, is not recorded as an expense in these statements. Such transactions are instead capitalized and reported as assets with the systematic allocation of such costs (depreciation) expensed over the useful lives of the assets constructed or acquired. The District shows an operating loss reflecting that the two largest revenue sources, property taxes and state appropriations, are considered nonoperating revenues. For a description of the differences between operating and nonoperating, please refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Note 1), which directly follows the presentation of the financial statements.

The July 1, 2001, beginning net assets were restated to reflect the effect of capital assets' accumulated depreciation of $8,188,309 as a result of implementing GASB Statement No. 35. The remaining restatement of capital assets of $465,426 was due to the correction of a prior year overstatement of capital assets.

Mohave County Community College District Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended June 30, 2002 Financial Highlights and Analysis
Consistent with its mission to provide effective learning environments, instruction is the primary function of the Mohave County Community College District. Major funding sources supporting instruction and other District functions include property taxes, tuition and fees, and state appropriations. The District exercises primary property tax levy authority for the generation of revenues for operating and debt-retirement purposes. Property tax and tuition and fees revenues have increased. However, during fiscal year 200102, the State of Arizona experienced a shortfall in revenue projections; therefore, all entities receiving state aid underwent a budget rescission. The District's cut in state aid was 4.86 percent, but these cuts, along with planned spending for new initiatives and programs utilizing net assets as the funding source, were partially offset by the growth in the property tax base of Mohave County and the increase in tuition and fees revenues. The District's net assets decreased by $1.5 million during fiscal year 2002 primarily due to depreciation expense on capital assets and the costs of refunding existing long-term debt.

Capital Assets
Below is a summary of the capital assets, net of depreciation, as of June 30, 2002:

Capital Assets, net of accumulated depreciation As of June 30, 2002 Land and improvements Buildings and improvements Equipment Library books Total capital assets $ 2,196,134 14,238,284 574,822 256,164 $17,265,404

Due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 35, the balance of capital assets at June 30, 2002, is reported net of accumulated depreciation of $8,819,789. c During fiscal year 2001-02, the construction of classrooms, libraries, and revenue-producing facilities osting $6,831,837 for the Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City campuses was completed. In prior years, these projects were reported as construction in progress. The projects are included in the amounts reported as buildings and improvements at June 30, 2002.

Mohave County Community College District Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended June 30, 2002 Long-Term Debt
At June 30, 2002, the District had two debt issues outstanding. The Series 2000 debt issue, which consisted of $3,150,000 of revenue bonds and $4,350,000 of pledged revenue obligations, were used for the construction of new classrooms and revenue-producing facilities, and for repairs, improvements, and renovations to existing buildings. The Series 2001 refunding debt issue, which consisted of $3,170,000 of tax-exempt, pledged revenue obligations and $1,460,000 of taxable, pledged revenue obligations, were used to advance-refund the District's Series 1994 Certificates of Participation (COPS). As a result, the Series 1994 COPS are considered defeased as of June 30, 2002, and are not reported in the basic financial statements. An economic loss was incurred in the refunding, and the refunding issue extended the period of debt repayment for 6 more years. In addition, the District had three capital lease contracts payable outstanding at June 30, 2002, totaling $487,809. Total long-term debt at June 30, 2002, was $12,617,809.

Current Economic Conditions
For the year ended June 30, 2002, the economic conditions in Mohave County were uncertain, while the demands from the communities for educational services are consistent. Full-Time Equivalent Student Enrollment (FTSE) increased over 2 percent during the year and similar increases in enrollment are expected for the coming year. The District's tuition and fees revenues increased by approximately 15 percent from the previous year. In addition, property taxes revenues increased by approximately 6 percent from the previous year. Mid-year expenditure budget reductions were implemented to offset decreased state appropriations. Other actions were implemented to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

Current Factors Having a Probable Future Financial Significance
The State of Arizona continues to experience revenue shortfalls that may have an impact on state appropriations to the District in future years. During the 2001-02 fiscal year, state appropriations to the District were reduced mid-year by $225,800, or approximately 4.86 percent. Future reductions are expected, but the precise amount is not known at this time. Plans have been developed to prepare for the effect of future funding reductions. The State's declining support for higher education continues to be a factor of great significance, and presents challenging financial problems for the governing board and internal management in addressing the District's many and varied needs.

Mohave County Community College District Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended June 30, 2002 Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Mohave County Community College District conform to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to public institutions engaged only in business-type activities adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). During the year ended June 30, 2002, the District implemented GASB Statement No. 35, which prescribes a new reporting model for public colleges within the reporting guidelines of GASB Statement No. 34, as amended by GASB Statement No. 37. The District also implemented GASB Statement No. 38, which prescribes new and revised note disclosures.

A. Reporting Entity
The District is a special-purpose government that is governed by a separately elected governing body. It is legally separate and fiscally independent of other state and local governments. Furthermore, there are no component units combined with the District for financial statement presentation purposes, and it is not included in any other governmental reporting entity. The financial activities of the Mohave College Foundation are not included in the District's financial statements. The Foundation is a nonprofit corporation controlled by a separate board of directors. The Foundation's goals are to promote educational programs and District objectives.

B. Basis of Presentation and Accounting
The financial statements include a statement of net assets; a statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and a statement of cash flows. A statement of net assets provides information about the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the District at the end of the year. Assets and liabilities are classified as either current or noncurrent. Net assets are classified according to external donor restrictions or availability of assets to satisfy District obligations. Invested in capital assets net of related debt represents the value of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, less any outstanding debt incurred to acquire or construct the asset. Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of the District's and federal government's capital contributions for the Federal Perkins Loan program, that are restricted for the purpose of issuing loans to students and cannot be expended by the District. Expendable restricted net assets represent grants, contracts, gifts, and other resources that have been externally restricted for specific purposes. Unrestricted net assets include all other net assets, including those that have been designated by management to be used for other than general operating purposes. A statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets provides information about the District's financial activities during the year. Revenues and expenses are classified as either operating or nonoperating, and all changes in net assets are reported, including capital contributions and additions to endowments. Generally, revenues generated by the District for instruction and public service are considered to be operating revenues. Other revenues used for instruction and public service, such as property taxes and state appropriations, are not generated from operations and are considered to be nonoperating revenues.
6

Mohave County Community College District Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended June 30, 2002
A statement of cash flows provides information about the District's sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents during the year. Increases and decreases in cash and cash equivalents are classified as either operating, noncapital financing, capital financing, or investing. The 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 at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Property taxes are recognized in the year for which they are levied. State appropriations are recognized as revenue in the year in which the appropriation is first made available for use. Grants and donations are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The District eliminates all internal activity. It is the District's policy to first apply restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available. The District follows FASB Statements and Interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989; Accounting Principles Board Opinions; and Accounting Research Bulletins, unless those pronouncements conflict with GASB pronouncements.

C. Cash and Investments
The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, cash and investments held by the County Treasurer, investments in the State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool, and highly liquid investments. Investments are stated at fair value.

D. Inventories
The bookstore inventory is stated at cost using the weighted-average method. All other inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

E. Capital Assets
Capital assets are reported at actual cost. Donated assets are reported at estimated fair value at the time received. Capitalization thresholds (the dollar values above which asset acquisitions are added to the capital asset accounts), depreciation methods, and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the financial statements are as follows:

Depreciation Method straight-line straight-line straight-line

Estimated Useful Life 20-40 years 5 years 10 years

Buildings and improvements Equipment Library books

5,000 5,000 5,000

F. Investment Income
Investment income is composed of interest, dividends, and net changes in the fair value of applicable investments.

G. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences consist of vacation leave and a calculated amount of sick leave earned by employees based on services already rendered. Employees may accumulate up to 240 hours of vacation depending on years of service, but any vacation hours in excess of the maximum amount that are unused at year-end are forfeited. Upon termination of employment, all unused and unforfeited vacation benefits are paid to employees. Accordingly, vacation benefits are accrued as a liability in the financial statements. Generally, sick leave benefits provide for ordinary sick pay and are cumulative but do not vest with employees. Therefore, a liability for sick leave benefits is not accrued in the financial statements. However, for employees who have been employed by the District for more than 15 years, sick leave benefits do vest. The maximum number of sick leave hours an employee may accrue is 600 hours, for a maximum payout of $3,000. Those estimated amounts are accrued as a liability in the financial statements.

H. Scholarship Allowances
A scholarship allowance is the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the District and the amount that is paid by the student or third parties making payments on behalf of the student. Accordingly, some types of student financial aid such as Pell grants and scholarships awarded by the District are considered to be scholarship allowances. These allowances are netted against tuition and fees revenues in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets.

Beginning Balances Restated
As a result of implementing GASB Statement No. 35 and a prior period adjustment related to capital assets, the District's aggregate fund balances reported as of June 30, 2001, totaling $18,097,235, have been restated as beginning net assets of $9,443,500. The restatement related to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 35 is attributable to recording accumulated depreciation of $8,188,309 on capital assets. In addition, the District corrected a $465,426 prior year overstatement of buildings.

Deposits and Investments
Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) require the District to deposit special tax levies for the District's maintenance or capital outlay with the County Treasurer. The statutes do not require the District to deposit other public monies in its custody with the County Treasurer; however, the District must act as a prudent person dealing with the property of another when making investment decisions about those monies. Cash on Hand--At June 30, 2002, the District had $14,151 of cash on hand. Deposits--At June 30, 2002, the carrying amount of the District's deposits was $374,554, and the bank balance was $530,381. Of the bank balance, $121,430 was covered by federal depository insurance or by collateral held by the District or its agent in the District's name and $408,951 was covered by collateral held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the District's name. Investments--At June 30, 2002, the District's investments consisted of the following: Cash and investments held by the County Treasurer Cash and investments held by trustee Total Fair Value $1,783,157 203,082 $1,986,239

The District's cash and investments in the County Treasurer's investment pool represents a proportionate interest in the pool's portfolio; however, the District's portion is not identified with specific investments and is not subject to custodial credit risk. Further, the County Treasurer's investment pool is not subject to any oversight or advisory groups, and that pool's structure does not provide for shares. Cash and investments held by trustee are invested in money market funds that consist of U.S. government securities that are purchased by the trustee and held in the trustee's custodial account with the Federal Reserve Bank. The District's proportionate share in the money market funds equals the amount invested.

$1,995,000 2,355,000 $4,350,000

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the District issued pledged revenue obligations, with interest rates ranging from 3.75-5.75 percent, to advance-refund the Series 1994 Certificates of Participation, with interest rates ranging from 5.99-6.55 percent. The District realized net proceeds of $4,511,873, after payment of $208,724 in underwriting fees, insurance, and other issuance costs. These proceeds were used to purchase securities that were placed in an irrevocable trust to provide resources for all future debt service payments on the refunded debt. The refunded debt is considered defeased and related liabilities are not included in the District's financial statements. Details of the refunding transactions are as follows: Amount of refunding obligations issued Amount of certificates of participation refunded Increase in debt service payments Economic loss $4,630,000 4,000,000 1,382,928 478,917

An economic loss was incurred due to the debt restructuring, which extended the period of debt repayment an additional 6 years. Capital leases--The District has acquired equipment under the provisions of various longterm lease agreements classified as capital leases for accounting purposes because they provide for a bargain purchase option or a transfer of ownership by the end of the lease term. However, only $102,424 of such assets met the District's capitalization threshold, and therefore, were capitalized as of June 30, 2002. Equipment Less: Accumulated depreciation Carrying value $102,424 30,727 $ 71,697

Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance and on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Based on an Audit of Basic Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

Members of the Arizona State Legislature The Governing Board of Mohave County Community College District We have audited the basic financial statements of Mohave County Community College District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, and have issued our report thereon dated July 18, 2003, which was modified as to consistency because of the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 35. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District's basic financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of basic financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. However, we noted certain immaterial instances of noncompliance that we will report to the District's management in a separate letter. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the District's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements and not to provide assurance on internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the basic financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving internal control over financial reporting that we will report to the District's management in a separate letter.

Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance with Requirements Applicable to Each Major Program and on Internal Control over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133

Members of the Arizona State Legislature The Governing Board of Mohave County Community College District Compliance We have audited the compliance of Mohave County Community College District with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2002. The District's major federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditors' Results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its major federal program cluster is the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the District's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the District's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the District's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, Mohave County Community College District complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to its major federal program cluster for the year ended June 30, 2002.

Internal Control over Compliance The District's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the District's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133. Our consideration of internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants that would be material in relation to a major federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the members of the Arizona State Legislature, the Governing Board, federal awarding agencies, and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
