Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Organization's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the St. Michael — Albertville Ice Arena, Albertville, Minnesota, as of December 31, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis, which follows this report letter, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statement, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Report on Summarized Comparative Information The financial statements include partial prior year comparative information. Such information does not include all the information required to constitute a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the Organization's financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2013, from which such partial information was derived. We have previously audited the Organization's 2013 financial statements and our report, dated April 7, 2014, expressed unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

Financial Highlights • The assets of the Organization exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $1,707,785 (net position). Of this amount, $183,592 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the Organization's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • The Organization's total net position increased $179,335. This increase is attributable to contributions from member organizations for the dehumidification system improvement on the arena. • As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Organization's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $187,016, a decrease of $34,942 in comparison with the prior year. Fund balance of $182,272 is available for spending at the Organization's discretion but a portion has been assigned for specific purposes. • At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General fund was $136,555, or 39 percent of total General fund 2014 expenditures. -13- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 17 Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Organization's basic financial statements. The Organization's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of supplementary information which further explain and support the information in the financial statements. Figure 1 shows how the required parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another.

The Government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Organization's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the Organization's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Organization is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the Organization's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. The government -wide financial statements start on page 20 of this report. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Organization, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Organization are governmental funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact by the government's near -term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. -15- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 19 The Organization maintains two individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General fund and Capital Improvement fund. The Organization adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 24 of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements start on page 27 of this report. Government -wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the Organization, assets exceeded liabilities by $1,707,785 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. By far, the largest portion of the Organization's net position (89 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment). The Organization uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the Organization is able to report positive balances in all categories of net position. Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the Organization's net position $179,335. Significant changes from the prior year are noted below: • Capital grants and contributions increased $199,344 which mostly related to contributions from member organizations for the dehumidification system improvement on the arena. -16- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 20 St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena's Changes in Net Position Revenues Program revenues Charges for services Capital grants and contributions General revenues Unrestricted investment earnings Total revenues Expenses Culture and recreation Change in net position Net position, January 1 Net position, December 31 Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds Governmental Activities Increase 2014 2013 (Decrease) $ 312,802 $ 329,927 $ (17,125) 229,344 30,000 199,344 3,226 (1,378) 4,604 545,372 358,549 186,823 366,037 372,737 (6,700) 179,335 (14,188) 193,523 1,528,450 1,542,638 (14,188) $ 1,707,785 1 $ 1,528,450 $ 179,335 As noted earlier, the Organization uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with fmance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds: The focus of the Organization's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Organization's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Organization's governmental funds had combined ending fund balances of $187,016, a decrease of $34,942 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 24 percent of this total amount, $45,717, constitutes assigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the Organization's discretion but assigned for specific purposes. The remainder of fund balance is unassigned ($136,555) and nonspendable ($4,744). The General fund is the chief operating fund of the Organization. At the end of the current year, the fund balance of the General fund was $141,299. The fund balance of the Organization's General fund decreased $30,863 during the current fiscal year. The Capital Improvement fund balance decreased $4,079, for an ending fund balance of $45,717. Each member of the Organization contributes money for future capital needs. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The Organization's General fund budget was not amended during the year. The budget called for an increase in fund balance of $1,763. The actual activity of the General fund resulted in a decrease of $30,863. Revenues exceeded the budget by $18,908. The largest revenue variances consisted of miscellaneous revenues being over budget by $5,353 and ice rental charges being over budget by $11,219. These variances are mostly due to advertising revenues and more than anticipated ice rental fees. Expenditures were over budget by $51,535. This was mostly due to capital expenditures for the ice arena dehumidification system improvement. -17- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 21 Capital Asset Capital assets: The Organization's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of December 31, 2014, amounts to $1,524,193 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment. The increase from the prior year relates to the installation of the new dehumidification system in the arena. Additional information on the Organization's capital assets can be found in Note 3B on page 34 of this report.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates The Organization is a joint powers organization comprised of the City of Albertville, City of St. Michael and Independent School District 885. The Organization strives to maintain reasonable and competitive rates, sufficient to fund operations. The Organization has several primary parties that rent the ice time at the facility. These groups include, but are not limited to, the STMA High School and the local youth hockey association, STMA Youth Hockey Association, Inc. Other key economic factors are as follows: • Ice rental rates were not increased in September 2014. Rental rate increases for 2015 are being considered. • There continues to be an annual shortage of the prime ice available for rentals during the typical hockey season. • The 2015 budget will be adopted on the premise that utility costs will be higher due to the new dehumidification system installed in 2014. Building repairs, maintenance, and capital outlay are anticipated to be lower than the previous year due to the significant repairs made in 2014 to extend the life of the facilities and equipment. Requests for Information This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Organization's finances for all those with an interest in the Organization's finances.

MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Reporting entity St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena (the Organization) was created under a joint powers agreement between the City of St. Michael, the City of Albertville, and the Independent School District No. 885. The agreement was for the construction and maintenance of a qualified ice arena. The Board consists of six regular members, two from each member of the Organization. Each member is also part of the City Council or Board of Education. The Organization has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Organization are such that exclusion would cause the Organization's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority of an organization's governing body, and (1) the ability of the primary government to impose its will on that organization or (2) the potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government. The Organization does not have any component units. B. Government -wide and fund financial statements The goal of government -wide financial statements is to present a broad overview of the Organization's finances. The basic statements that form the government -wide financial statements are the statement of net position and the statement of activities. The two statements report information on all of the non -fiduciary activities of the Organization. The statement of activities demonstrates the 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 function or segment. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants 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. Other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. -27- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 31 ST. MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financial statement presentation 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 related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. 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 they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Organization 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. Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Non -exchange transactions, in which the Organization receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include grants, entitlement and donations. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the Organization must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the Organization on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non -exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized. Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue. 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. The Organization reports the following major governmental funds: The General fund is the Organization's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the Organization, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Capital Improvement fund accounts for future capital acquisitions and other capital improvements. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government -wide financial statements. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Organization's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. -28- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 32 ST. MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED D. Assets, liabilities, and net position/fund balance Deposits and investment The Organization's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash balances from all funds of the City of Albertville are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other authorized investments. The Organization's balances are maintained in a separate fund within the City's financial statements. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of the funds. The Organization may also invest idle funds as authorized by Minnesota statutes, as follows: 1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies. 2. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and received the highest credit rating, rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and have a final maturity of thirteen months or less. 3. General obligations of a state or local government with taxing powers rated "A" or better; revenue obligations rated "AA" or better. 4. General obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated "A" or better. 5. Bankers' acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System. 6. Commercial paper issued by United States banks corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, of highest quality category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less. 7. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements with financial institutions qualified as a "depository" by the government entity, with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker -dealers. 8. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC's) issued or guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, a domestic branch of a foreign bank, a United States insurance company, or its Canadian subsidiary, whose similar debt obligations were rated in one of the top two rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency. The Organization does not have an investment policy that addresses interest rate and credit risk. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end and are expected to be collected. Therefore, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts established. Inventory The inventory in the General fund is stated at FIFO (first -in, first -out) cost and consists of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recognized as an expenditure at the time the individual inventory items are used (consumption method). -29- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 33 ST. MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Capital assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets are reported in the applicable governmental -type activities columns in the government -wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Organization as assets with an estimated useful life of more than one year and an initial individual cost of more than the following: Category Cost Land/land improvements $ 10,000 Other improvements 25,000 Infrastructure 100,000 Buildings 25,000 Building improvements 25,000 Vehicles 5,000 Other equipment 5,000 Intangible assets 10,000 The Organization reports infrastructure assets on a network and subsystem basis. Accordingly, the amounts spent for the construction or acquisition of infrastructure assets are capitalized and reported in the government -wide financial statements regardless of their amount. In the case of initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the Organization chose to include items dating back to June 30, 1980. The Organization was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial reporting of these assets through back trending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price -level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition year). As the Organization constructs or acquires capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or extend its useful life beyond the original estimate. In the case of donations the Organization values these capital assets at the estimated fair value of the item at the date of its donation. Property, plant and equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Useful Lives Assets in Years Land improvements 5 to 30 Infrastructure 15 to 50 Buildings 15 to 40 Vehicles 3 to 15 Other Equipment 3 to 20 Compensated absences It is the Organization's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. All vacation and sick pay is accrued when incurred in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. -30- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 34 ST. MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Postemployment benefits other than pensions In August 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, effective for the Organization's fiscal year 2009. Statement No. 45 requires accrual -based measurement, recognition and disclosure of other postemployment benefits (OPEB) expense, such as retiree medical and dental costs, over the employees' years of service, along with the related liability, net of any plan assets. The Organization has no plans that would result in an OPEB liability and, therefore, the Organization anticipates it will not incur any future explicit or implicit OPEB costs for its employees and, therefore, no liability will be recorded. Fund balance In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the Organization is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in the governmental funds. These classifications are defined as follows: Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as inventory. Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions. Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of the Ice Arena Board, which is the Organization's highest level of decision -making authority. Committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Ice Arena Board modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution. Assigned - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. In governmental funds other than the General fund, assigned fund balance represents all remaining amounts that are not classified as nonspendable and are neither restricted nor committed. In the General fund, assigned amounts represent intended uses established by the Ice Arena Board itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates the authority. The Ice Arena Board has adopted a fund balance policy which delegates the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the Finance Director and/or Organization Administrator. Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund and also negative residual amounts in other funds. The Organization considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Additionally, the Organization would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made. Net position Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows and liabilities and deferred inflows. Net position is displayed in three components: a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets. b. Restricted net position -Consists of net position restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments. c. Unrestricted net position - All other net positions that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "net investment in capital assets". -31- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 35 ST.

Also, certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be consistent with the current year's presentation. Note 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY A. Budgetary information An annual budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the General fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The Organization does not use encumbrance accounting. The Board adopts an annual budget for the Organization. During the budget year, supplemental appropriations and deletions may be authorized by the Organization. The amounts shown in the financial statements as `Budget' represent the original and final budgeted amounts. The Organization prepares its budget on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All budgeting appropriations lapse at year-end. B. Excess of expenditures over appropriations For the year ended December 31, 2014 expenditures exceed appropriations in the following functions of the General fund as well as the fund as a whole: Excess of Expenditures Over Function Budget Actual Appropriations Culture and recreation S 294,787 S 346,322 S 51,535 -32- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 36 ST. MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014 Note 3: DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS A. Deposits and investments Deposits Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Organization's deposits and investments may not be returned or the Organization will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside party. In accordance with Minnesota statutes and as authorized by the Organization Council, the Organization maintains deposits at those depository banks, all of which are members of the Federal Reserve System. Minnesota statutes require that all Organization deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds. Authorized collateral in lieu of a corporate surety bond includes: • United States government Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds; • Issues of United States government agencies and instrumentalities as quoted by a recognized industry quotation service available to the government entity; • General obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated "A" or better by a national bond rating service, or revenue obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated "AA" or better by a national bond rating service; • General obligation securities of a local government with taxing powers may be pledged as collateral against funds deposited by that same local government entity; • Irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks to a municipality accompanied by written evidence that the bank's public debt is rated "AA" or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or Standard & Poor's Corporation; and • Time deposits that are fully insured by any federal agency. Minnesota statutes require that all collateral shall be placed in safekeeping in a restricted account at a Federal Reserve Bank, or in an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The selection should be approved by the government entity. At December 312014, the Organization had $105,028 invested in an external investment pool maintained by the City of Albertville. The Organization funds are pooled with the City of Albertville and invested in accordance with Minnesota Statues which are the same for Minnesota Cities as for the Organization. Investment earnings (including interest and market value changes) are allocated to the Organization each month based on the Organization's respective share of the total investment portfolio held by the pool. -33- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 37 ST.

The portion applicable to that employee would be recorded as a liability and would be liquidated through the General fund. Note 4: OTHER INFORMATION Risk management The Organization is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters for which the Organization carries insurance. The Organization obtains insurance through participation in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), which is a risk sharing pool with approximately 800 other governmental units. The Organization pays an annual premium to LMCIT for its workers compensation and property and casualty insurance. The LMCIT is self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure for claims above a prescribed dollar amount for each insurance event. Settled claims have not exceeded the Organization's coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The Organization's management is not aware of any incurred but not reported claims. -35- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 39 THIS PAGE IS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY -36- STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 40 OTHER REQUIRED REPORT ST.

The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 6.65, contains six categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements and miscellaneous provisions. Our audit considered all of the listed categories, except that we did not test for compliance with the provisions for public indebtedness because the Organization has no indebtedness. In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Organization failed to comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the Organization's noncompliance with the above referenced provisions. This report is intended solely for the information and use of those charged with governance, management of the Organization and the State Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

When you need it.5' REPORT ON MATTERS IDENTIFIED AS A RESULT OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Chair and Members of the Ice Arena Board and Management St. Michael — Albertville Ice Arena Albertville, Minnesota In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of St. Michael — Albertville Ice Arena, Albertville, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the Organization's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Organization's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified is stated within this letter. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, Board Members, others within the Organization and state oversight agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. KERN, DEWENTER, VIERE, LTD. Minneapolis, Minnesota April 7, 2015 STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 46 ST. MICHAEL — ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA MATERIAL WEAKNESS December 31, 2014 LACK OF SEGREGATION OF ACCOUNTING DUTIES The Organization has a lack of segregation of accounting duties due to a limited number of office employees. In order to have appropriate segregation of duties, the performance of the following duties would need to be completed by a different employee: initiation and authorization of transactions, recording and processing of transactions, reconciliation and reporting of transactions and financial information and custody of assets. The lack of adequate segregation of accounting duties could adversely affect the Organization's ability to initiate, record, process and report financial data consistent with the assertions of the management in the financial statements. Management and the Ice Arena Board are aware of this condition and have taken certain steps to compensate for the lack of segregation but due to the number of staff needed to properly segregate all of the accounting duties, the costs of obtaining desirable segregation of accounting duties can often exceed benefits which could be derived. However, management and the Ice Arena Board must remain aware of this situation and should continually monitor the accounting system, including changes that occur. Organization's Response: Arena and City staff are aware of the lack of segregation, which is due to limited staff dedicated to the STMA Arena, especially in concessions, and continues to look for opportunities to provide additional segregation in a cost effective manner. 2 STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 47 ST. NHCHAEL — ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA REQUIRED COMMUNICATION December 31, 2014 We have audited the financial statements of the St. Michael — Albertville Ice Arena, Albertville, Minnesota for the year ended December 31, 2014, and have issued our report thereon dated April 7, 2015. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit. OUR RESPONSIBILITY UNDER AUDITING STANDARDS GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA As stated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. PLANNED SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE AUDIT An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit involved judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of the Organization and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures. Material misstatements may result from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the Organization or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the Organization. QUALITATIVE ASPECTS OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICES Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Organization are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year ended December 31, 2014. We noted no transactions entered into by the Organization during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was: Depreciation — The Organization is currently depreciating its capital assets over their estimated useful lives, as determined by management, using the straight-line method. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent and clear. 3 STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 48 ST. MICHAEL — ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA REQUIRED COMMUNICATION December 31, 2014 DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. CORRECTED AND UNCORRECTED MISSTATEMENTS Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any uncorrected financial statement misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIONS We requested certain representations from management which were included in the management representation letter. MANAGEMENT CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Organization's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. OTHER AUDIT FINDINGS OR ISSUES We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Organization's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. 4 STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 49 ST. MICHAEL-ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA BOARD MINUTES March 9, 2015 6:00 p.m. Present: Chairman Chris Schumm, Members Gayle Weber, John Vetsch, Cody Gulick, and Walter Hudson (6:13) were present. Member Jeff Lindquist was absent. Also present: STMA Ice Arena Manager Grant Fitch, City Administrator Adam Nafstad, Youth Hockey Association President Josh Opiola, Roger Lucy, and Chris Hanson. The meeting was called to order at 6:03 p.m. by Chairman Schumm. Set Agenda Members Weber\Gulick moved to set the agenda as presented. All voted aye. Approval of Minutes Members Weber\Gulick moved to approve the minutes of the February 9, 2015 Board Meeting as presented. All voted aye. Member Vetsch abstained. Finance Reports Lannes noted that the reports reflect the proposed budget, the receivables do not include February Ice time which will be invoiced this week and the Capital Improvement Fund reimbursement from the three entities will be verified and billed in March. Members Weber\Gulick moved to approve the February list of claims totaling $15,439.27 and the February Financial Report as presented. All voted aye. Arena Manager's Report Fitch reported on the PWB Regional Tournament hosted by Youth Hockey. Opiola received a number of good comments and feedback from attendees, spectators, and Minnesota Hockey. Fitch updated the Board on the flat roof issues that are part of the locker room addition. It has a rubber membrane that has pulled away from the perimeter and some moisture has gotten behind it on the southeast corner. Staff will continue to look into the issue. Chairman Schumm mentioned that Terry from ISD 885 thought we should look into dog houses around a few stacks on the roof and needed some ice cleats repaired. Old Business — 2015 Preliminary Budget Discussion Lannes provided the second preliminary 2015 budget showing a $6,000 deficit without a rate increase. The budget includes an estimated $24,000 for gas, which staff noted as strictly an estimate since we only have 2-3 months of gas bills with the new system. The actual amount could be more if the system consumes more than predicted, if temperatures demand more use, or if there is a rate increase from CenterPoint Energy. Staff provided that one option to manage the deficit would be a $5.00 per hour rate increase which would bring the budget to almost breakeven. This would be at $190 to $195 as prime rate effective September 1 st. STMA Arena Board Mtg 04/13/15 Page 50 STMA Ice Arena March 9, 2015 Minutes Page 2 The other options staff provided were to have the three entities contribute a small amount to operations, require prepaid contracts for outsiders and a cancelation policy with a monetary fee if the ice cancelled is not resold due to timing of the cancelation. Nafstad reminded the Board that our repeat users are very good, so having a prepaid policy or cancelation policy for major users would not solve our deficit. Staff will put together a prepaid policy or practice to the Board in the future. Lannes reminded the Board that the budget and rates need to be adopted at the April meeting in order for Youth Hockey Association to have enough time to prepare the information for their spring sign up. Chairman Schumm would like to hear input on the budget and rates from Youth Hockey and member Jeff Lindquist. Opiola told the Board that Youth Hockey understands the possibility for a $5.00 per hour increase and they would be okay with that. Vetsch asked Chairman Schumm whether or not, over time, if costs to run the new system would decrease or increase. Chairman Schumm explained it depends on the outdoor temperature and the fluctuations, so the cost would not likely decrease. Member Weber asked if there was any type of a program, possibly with CenterPoint, related to managing costs. Staff has a call into CenterPoint and will report back to the Board. Member Weber asked about sales tax and if we pay sales tax to the state. Lannes explained that we purchase our concessions tax exempt and pay sales tax monthly on the sales to the state. If we purchased the items and paid tax the STMA Ice Arena would still need to pay sales tax on the difference between the purchase price and the sale price. Youth Hockey Association Opiola updated the Board that Youth Hockey has drafted an article of commitment in writing and was passed by the STMA Youth Hockey Executive Board and will be going to the membership on March 9, 2015. They want to grow the membership and to love the game. They wanted to show the commitment and the objective to work together with the STMA Ice Arena Board. Hanson mentioned that they appreciate the efforts of the Youth Hockey Association and the STMA Ice Arena Board. Member Hudson asked Opiola to address the nature of the commitment in relation to how the board members of Youth Hockey Association changes in the future. Opiola replied that the intent is to have the resolution included in their (YHA) meeting minutes and to serve as a statement that they are committed to a second sheet solution. There was discussion on past year's communication, understanding and transparency between the Youth Hockey Association and the STMA Ice Arena Board. In addition, there was a discussion regarding how to educate the community on a working plan for a successful second sheet, operations of the Arena and gain support. Youth Hockey plans on hiring an operations director who would be appointed and report directly to the YHA Executive Board. There was also discussion related to educating the public and YHA membership as to operations of the Arena, its financial transparency, and that the arena cannot finance capital on its own. Adiourn Members Vetch\Gulick moved to adjourn at approximately 6:44 p.m. All voted aye.
