Board of Directors and Management Missoula Redevelopment Agency Missoula, Montana Independent Auditors’ Report We have audited the accompanying component unit financial statements of Missoula Redevelopment Agency, a component unit of the City of Missoula, Montana, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2001, as listed in the accompanying table of contents. These component unit financial statements are the responsibility of Missoula Redevelopment Agency’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these component unit financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 component unit financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Missoula Redevelopment Agency, as of June 30, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 23, 2001, on our consideration of Missoula Redevelopment Agency’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 Governmental Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the component unit financial statements of Missoula Redevelopment Agency, taken as a whole. The supplementary information on pages 16-19 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the component unit financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the component unit financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the component unit financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Elmore & Associates, P.C.

MISSOULA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (A Component Unit of the City of Missoula) Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2001 Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies of Missoula Redevelopment Agency (MRA) conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies. Reporting Entity MRA was established in 1978 by the City of Missoula (the City) as a separate legal entity in accordance with state urban renewal laws (Section 7-15-4201 MCA). MRA has the authority to renovate property within blighted areas legally designated as urban renewal districts, but the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain, acquire and resell property and to issue tax increment bonds remains with the City. The City has established three urban renewal districts: District I in 1978, District II in 1991, and District III in 2000. The five-member governing board is appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council. Due to the control exercised by the City, MRA is considered a component unit of the City. MRA has no authority to levy taxes. However, under the City’s Urban Renewal Plans, incremental property taxes which result from increases in the taxable value of property within an urban renewal district are designated for urban renewal purposes and provide the primary funding source for MRA. State law provides that the tax increment provisions applicable to a renewal district established prior to 1980 be terminated seventeen years after enactment or when all tax increment bonds have been retired. Because the tax increment provisions for District I were enacted on December 18, 1978, MRA was scheduled to terminate on December 18, 1995. However, the City issued tax increment bonds on December 15, 1989, as permitted by state law. The issuance of these bonds extends the tax increment provisions for the term of the bonds, whose final maturity is July 1, 2005 (see Note 4). District II is scheduled to terminate in 2006, as required by State law, which amended the term of urban renewal districts to fifteen years after enactment. District III is scheduled to terminate in December 2015. Fund Accounting The accounts of MRA are organized on the basis of separate accounting entities referred to as funds or account groups. Each fund’s operations are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts consisting of its assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues and expenditures. MRA uses the following funds:
7
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Special Revenue Funds · Urban Renewal District I used to account for all activities of District I. · Urban Renewal District II used to account for all activities of District II. · Urban Renewal District III used to account for all activities of District III (no activity in fiscal year 2001). Debt Service Funds These are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, tax increment debt principal, interest and related costs, and to comply with the requirements of the tax increment bond indenture. This fund is included as a debt service fund in the City’s financial statements. General Long-Term Debt Account Group This account group is established to account for all long-term debt of MRA including tax increment bonds and compensated absences. This account group is included with other long-term debt in the City’s financial statements. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. Revenues which are accrued consist principally of tax increment transfers, federal grants and investment earnings. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Total Columns The columns captioned “Totals Memorandum Only are presented in the accompanying financial statements to facilitate financial comparison and analysis. The amounts in these columns are not intended to present consolidated financial information because interfund transactions and balances have not been eliminated. Budgets MRA follows the City’s procedures in developing the budget information reflected in the financial statements, as follows: (1) Prior to the first Monday in July, a proposed operating budget is submitted by the Mayor to the City Council for the fiscal year commencing July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. A budget is legally required for MRA. (2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain public comments.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (3) On or before the second Monday in August, the budget is legally enacted through an official resolution of adoption. (4) Budget transfers between departments within any fund are allowable with approval of the Mayor and the City Council. (5) All appropriations lapse at the end of a fiscal year. MRA prepares its budget generally on the modified accrual basis. Revenues (except for property taxes) are budgeted in the year they are measurable and available. Expenditures are budgeted in the year they are expected to be incurred. As required by Montana law, the full amount of property taxes levied for the fiscal year is included in the City’s budget. Appropriations may exceed anticipated revenues because MRA includes available cash reserves in the budgeting process. Budgets cannot be increased except by (a) a public emergency which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of adoption of the original budget or (b) for funds received from federal or state governments. Budget transfers may be made between and among the general classifications of salaries and wages, operations and maintenance, and capital outlay upon a resolution adopted by the governing body; however, no budget transfers can increase the salary and wage classification. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations for an individual fund. The level of budgetary control is established by the three categories referenced above within an individual fund. Individual fund budgetary amounts equal appropriation amounts. Unexpended appropriations lapse at the end of the year. Reported budget amounts represent the original adopted budget. Property Taxes Property tax levies are set by the City on or before the second Monday in August, in connection with the budget process. Real property (and certain attached personal property) taxes are billed by Missoula County within ten days after the third Monday in October and are due in equal amounts on November 30 and the following May 31. After those dates, they become delinquent (and a lien upon the property). Personal property taxes (other than those billed with real estate) are generally billed no later than the second Monday in July (normally in May or June), based on the prior November’s levies. Personal property taxes other than those on mobile homes are due thirty days after billing. Mobile home taxes are billed in two halves, the first due thirty days after billing and the second due September 30. Urban Renewal District I is located entirely within Missoula School District No. 1. Urban Renewal District II is located partially in Missoula School District No. 1 and partially in Hellgate School District No. 4. Taxable valuations for all taxing districts and the corresponding tax increment amounts for November 2000 property tax billings were as follows:

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Taxable Number Valuation of Mills Taxable Value of All Taxing Districts, City of Missoula $ 78,662,970 633.10 Incremental Value of Tax Increment Districts: Urban Renewal District I 1,794,540 Urban Renewal District II 169,471 Cash, Investments and Investment Income State law permits investment of MRA funds in savings accounts, certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements, government and government agency securities and notes, and the state’s short-term investment pool (STIP). Cash and investments include pooled accounts with the City treasurer. Under the provisions of GASB 31, investments are generally reported at fair value. Demand deposits, repurchase agreements, and non-participating certificates of deposit are carried at cost, while STIP is carried at reported share value, which approximate fair value for these investments. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded in the City’s general fixed asset accounts. Compensated Absences Under terms of state law, MRA employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts. In the event of termination, an employee is reimbursed for all accumulated vacation leave and 25% of accumulated sick leave. Expenditures for these compensated absences are recorded when paid, because the amounts expected to be liquidated from current resources do not vary materially from year to year. Compensated absences to be funded from future resources are reflected as liabilities in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group to the extent they are vested. Note 2 Cash and Investments MRA’s cash is invested in the City’s investment pool. MRA’s portion consists of the following: Demand Deposits $ 1,771,733 Government Securities 1,752,270 Investment in State Short-Term Investment Pool 1,031,613 Total $ 4,555,616 Information regarding insurance coverage or collateralization and investment in derivatives and similar instruments for the investment in the City’s investment pool is available in the City’s comprehensive annual financial report. There is no regulatory oversight for the City’s investment pool, and participants’ equity in the pool approximates the fair value of the underlying investments. 10
