MICHAEL - ALBERTVILLE ICE ARENA ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 9 10 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Board of Directors St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena Albertville, Minnesota We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena (the Organization), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Organization’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. 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 of 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. 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 Organization as of December 31, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position 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. 11 12 Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis starting on page 15 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basicfinancial 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 statements, 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. Other Matters Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Organization’s basic financial statements. The introductory section is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. ABDO, EICK & MEYERS, LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota April 23, 2018 13 14 Management’s Discussion and Analysis As management of the St. Michael - Albertville IceArenaof Albertville, Minnesota, (the Organization), we offer readers of the Organization’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Organization for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Financial Highlights The assets of the Organization exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $1,677,308 (net position). Of this amount, $334,175(unrestricted net position)may be used to meet the Organization’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The Organization’s total net positiondecreased$60,175.This decrease is attributable mainly to depreciation expense. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Organization’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $334,175, an increase of $178in comparison with the prior year. Fund balance of is available for spending at the Organization’s discretionbut a portion has been assigned for specific purposes. The remaining is nonspendable for inventory. At the end of thecurrent fiscal year, unassignedfund balance for the General fund was $174,438, or 53percent of total General fund 2017expenditures. 15 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 informationwhich 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 statementsare 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 positionpresents 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 positionmay serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Organizationis improving or deteriorating. The statement of activitiespresents information showing how the Organization’s net positionchanged during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net positionare reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. 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 22 of this report. Fund Financial Statements. Afundis 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 Organizationare governmental funds. Governmental Funds.Governmental fundsare used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activitiesin 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 resourcesavailable 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 fundswith 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 fundsandgovernmental activities. 17 The Organizationmaintains twoindividual 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 fundandCapital Improvementfund. The Organizationadopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund.A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the Generalfundto demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 26 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 29 of this report. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net positionmay serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position.In the case of the Organization, assetsexceeded liabilities by $1,677,308at the close of the most recent fiscal year. By far, the largest portion of the Organization’s net position (80percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment). The Organizationuses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

Governmental Funds:The focus of the Organization’s governmental fundsis to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendableresources. Such information is useful in assessing the Organization’s financing requirements.In particular, unassigned fund balancemay 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 $334,175, an increase of $178in comparison with the prioryear. Approximately 47percent of this total amount, $157,160, constitutes assigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the Organization’s discretionbut assigned for specific purposes.The remainder of fund balance isunassigned ($174,438) and nonspendable ($2,577). The General fundis the chief operating fund of the Organization.At the end of the current year, the fund balance of the General fund was $177,015.The fund balance of the Organization’s General fund decreased$5,964during the current fiscal year. The CapitalImprovementfundbalance increased $6,142, for an ending fund balance of$157,160.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 agreement was for the construction and maintenance of a qualified ice arena. The Board consists of sixregular 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 forthcriteria 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. 29 St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2017 Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(Continued) C.MeasurementFocus, 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 availablewhen 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 ifthey 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 theOrganization 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. Unearnedrevenue 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 unearnedrevenue. 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 Organizationreports 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. TheCapital Improvementfund 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’spolicy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. 30 St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2017 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 andother authorized investments. The Organization’s balances are maintained in a separate fund withinthe City’s financial statements. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of the funds. The Organizationmay 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.Obligation of a school district with an original maturity not exceeding 13 months and (i) rated in the highest category by a national bond rating service or (ii) enrolled in the credit enhancement program pursuant to statute section 126C.55. 6.Bankers’acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System. 7.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. 8.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. 9.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 endandare 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). 31 St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2017 Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(Continued) Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assetsare reportedin the applicable governmental-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Organizationas assets with an estimated useful life of more than oneyear and an initialindividual cost of more than the following: CategoryCost Land/Land Improvements$10,000 Other Improvements25,000 Infrastructure100,000 Buildings25,000 Building Improvements25,000 Vehicles5,000 Other Equipment5,000 Intangible Assets10,000 The Organizationreports 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 Organizationchose to include itemsdating back to June 30, 1980. The Organizationwas able to estimate the historical cost for theinitial 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 Organizationconstructs 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 lifebeyond the original estimate. In the case of donations the Organizationvalues these capital assets at the acquisitionvalue of the itemat 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 Assetsin Years Land Improvements5 to 30 Infrastructure15 to 50 Buildings15 to 40 Vehicles3 to 15 Other Equipment3 to 20 32 St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2017 Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(Continued) Fund Balance In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the Organizationis 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 establishedby 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 levelof 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 governingbody 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 Directorand/orOrganizationAdministrator. Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund and also negative residual amounts in other funds. The Organizationconsiders restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Additionally, the Organizationwould 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 - Consistsof 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”. 33 St. Michael - Albertville Ice Arena Notes to the Financial Statements December 31,2017 Note 2:Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability A.BudgetaryInformation An annual budgetisadopted 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.
