Management is also responsible for 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 error or fraud. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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 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 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 auditors' 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 Mattituck Fire District, New York'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 Mattituck Fire District, New York'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 opinion. - • PERSONAL SERVICE.TRUSTED ADVICE.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Mattituck Fire District (the "District"), which was established in 1905, is governed by Town Law and other general laws of the State of New York. The governing body of the District is the Board of Fire Commissioners which consists of five commissioners all of whom are elected to five year terms. The primary function of the District is to provide fire protection services to the community. Services such as firefighting, fire prevention, and public education support the primary function. The more significant of the District's accounting policies are described below. A. REPORTING ENTITY ! The financial reporting entity includes all functions and activities over which the elected officials exercise responsibility. No other governmental organizations have been included or excluded from the reporting entity. B. FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ~ The financial statements of the District have not been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The District prepares these financial statements on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the regulatory basis of accounting and budget laws of the State of New York, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ~ The accounts of the District are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balances, revenues, and expenditures, which are segregated far the purpose of carrying on specfic activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. The various funds are presented by type in the fund financial statements. Accordingly, the District maintains the following fund types: Governmental Funds -Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of expendable financial resources and the related liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds. The measurement focus of the governmental funds is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position. ! The District reports the following governmental fund: General Fund -the principal operating fund of the District which includes all receipts and disbursements not required to be included in other funds. Fiduciary Fund -the Fiduciary Fund is used to account for assets held by the District in a trustee ! capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. The District reports the following fiduciary fund: Aoencv Fund -used to account for money (andlor property) received and held in a custodial capacity of trustee, custodian, or agent. ~ C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; 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 measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. f • MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 • 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (continued) The DisVict follows the accounting principles as described in the Fire DisVict Accounting and Reporting Manual issued by the Office of the New York State CompVoller. Under this system the DisVict's governmental activities use a current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the mod~ed accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are available and measurable, and expenditures will generally be recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is actually incurred. Available means collectible • within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. This basis of accounting differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for governments as promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY 1. CASH IN SPECIAL RESERVES A Cash balances of the Capital Reserve for Building and Grounds and the Capital Reserve for Apparatus are classed as cash in special reserves because the use of these funds is restricted by New York State General Municipal Law. 2. RECEIVABLES • Receivables are recorded and revenues recognized as earned or as specific program expenditures are incurred. 3. CAPITAL ASSETS ` All capital assets with an original cost of $500 or more are valued at historical cost or estimated historical costs 'rf actual is unavailable, except for donated capital assets which are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows: • Buildings 20-50 years InfrasVucture 40 years Vehicles and related equipment 5-20 years Equipment 5-20 years In accordance with the Accounting and Reporting Manual for the Fire Districts, issued by the Office of the New York State CompVoller, depreciation expense is not recorded the District's governmental • funds and instead it is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements along with the District's changes in capital assets. Additional information related to capital assets is disclosed in Note 3B to the financial statements. 4. PROPERTY TAXES • Property taxes are collected by the Town of Southold on behalf of the District. Payments from the Town of Southold are normally received at various intervals during the year. • -6- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 • 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY (continued) 5. FUND EQUITY ~ In the fund financials statements, governmental funds report aggregate amounts for five class cations of fund balances based on the constraints imposed on the use of these resources; they are 1) nonspendable, 2) resVicted 3) committed, 4) assigned, or 5) unassigned. 1) Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form (i.e. prepaid items or inventories), or (b) will not convert to cash within the ~ current period (i.e. long term receivables and financial assets held for resale), or (c) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (i.e. the principal of a permanent fund). The District did not have non-spendable fund balance at December 31, 2012. The spendable portion of the fund balance comprises the remaining four classifications: resVicted, committed, assigned, and unassigned. ~ 2) Restricted fund balance reflects the constraints imposed on resources either (a) externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The District has established the following restricted funds balances: • Capital Reserve for Buildings and Grounds (GML &6-g) -The reserve is established by a resolution of the Board of Fire Commissioners and may not take effect until approved by a vote of the qualified electors of the District (i.e., mandatory referendum). The reserve established for the construction and repair of District buildings and grounds is funded by budgetary appropriations and revenues not required by law to be paid into any other fund or account. The reserve is accounted for in the General Fund. ~ Capital Reserve for Apparatus (GML &6-g) -The reserve is established by a resolution of the Board of Fire Commissioners and may not take effect until approved by a vote of the qual~ed electors of the District (i.e., mandatory referendum). The reserve established for the purchase and repair of District equipment and apparatus is funded by budgetary appropriations and revenues not required by law to be paid into any other fund or account. ~ The reserve is accounted for in the General Fund. 3) Committed fund balance reflects amounts that can only be used for specific purposes by a government using its highest and most binding level of decision making authority. The Board of Fire Commissioners is not empowered to establish local law; accordingly, the District will not have committed fund balance. • 4) Assigned fund balance reflects the amounts constrained by the District's "intent" tq be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Board of Fire Commissioners has the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes. 5) Unassigned fund balance includes all other General Fund amounts that do not meet the definition of the above four classifications and are deemed to be available for general use by the i District. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, the District uses restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources -assigned and unassigned - in order as needed. • -s- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY (continued) 6. ENCUMBRANCES Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded for budgetary control purpose, is employed in the governmental funds. Encumbrances are reported as restrictions, commitments, or assignments of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Expenditures for such commitments are recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. ~ 7. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the regulatory basis of accounting and budget laws of the State of New York, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions ~ that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the financial statements through the date of the financial statements. • 2. STEWARDSHIP COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY A. BUDGETARY INFORMATION The District prepares an annual budget for the General Fund which is approved by the Board of Fire ~ Commissioners. The budget is then submitted to the Town of Southold for inclusion in the Town Budget and a public hearing is held thereon. The budget is not subject to referendum. Any revisions to the annual budget are adopted by resolution of the Board of Fire Commissioners. The budget is adopted annually on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the regulatory basis of accounting and budget laws of the State of New York, which is a comprehensive • basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Appropriations authorized for the current year are increased by the amount of encumbrances, if any, carried forward from the prior year. B. REAL PROPERTY TAX LEVY CAP New York State has enacted Chapter 97, Laws of 2011 Real Property Tax Levy Cap and Mandate Relief ~ Provisions, which includes a 2.00% property tax cap for municipalities, most school districts, and a host of other independent taxing entities such as library, water, and fire districts. For fiscal years, beginning in 2012 and lasting through at least June 15, 2016, no local government, school district, or independent taxing entity is authorized to increase its property tax levy by more than 2.00% or the rate of inflation (whichever is less). Local governments can exceed the tax levy limit by a 60% vote of the governing body and annually adopting a local law. In the case of independent taxing entities such as fire districts, a ~ resolution approved by a vote of 60% of the total voting power of the Board of Fire Commissioners is needed to override such limit for the coming fiscal year only. School districts can exceed the tax levy limit only by a 60% favorable vote by the school district's budget voters. There are permitted exceptions and adjustments. The District has complied with this law in adopting its 2012 budget. s -10- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 • 2.

DETAILED NOTES A. CASH AND CASH IN SPECIAL RESERVES Custodial Credit Risk - Deoosits -Custodial credit risk for deposits exists when, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government may be unable to recover deposits, or recover wllateral ~ securities that are in possession of an outside agency.

District monies must be deposited in FDIC-insured commercial banks or trust companies located within the State. The Treasurer is authorized to use demand accounts and cert~cates of deposit. Permissible investments include obligations of the United States treasury and United States agencies, and obligations of New York State or its localities. ~ Collateral is required for demand and time deposits at 105% of all deposits not covered by federal deposit insurance. Obligations that may be pledged as collateral are obligations of the United States and its agencies and obligations of the State or its municipalities.

Contributions for the current year and two preceding years were equal to 100.00% of the contributions required, and were as follows: • Percent Contribution of Covered Year Amount Payroll 2012 $ 34,783 18.40% • 2011 $ 28,022 15.60% 2010 $ 14,934 11.20% Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2010 of the State of New York allows local employers to amortize a portion of their retirement bill for ten years in accordance with the following stipulations: • For State fiscal year 2010 - 2011, the amount in excess of the graded rate of 9.50% of employees' • covered pensionable salaries, with the first payment of those pension costs not due until the fiscal year succeeding that fiscal year in which the amortization was instituted. • For subsequent State fiscal years, the graded rate will increase or decrease by up to 1.00% depending on the gap between the increase or decrease in the NYSLRS's average rate and the previous graded rate. ~ For subsequent State fiscal years in which the NYSLRS's average rates are lower than the graded rates, the employer will be required to pay the graded rate. Any additional contributions made will first be used to pay off existing amortizations, and then any excess will be deposited into a reserve account and will be used to offset future increases in conUibution rates. • -1 s- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 • 3. DETAILED NOTES (continued) D. RETIREMENT SYSTEM (continued) The law requires participating employers to make payments on a current basis, while amortizing existing • unpaid amounts relating to the NYSLRS's fiscal years when the local employer opts to participate in the program. The District did not participate in this program and therefore has no outstanding liability at December 31, 2012. E.

RISK MANAGEMENT The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; injuries to employees, errors and omissions; natural disasters, etc. These risks are covered by commercial insurance purchased from independent third parties. Settled claims from these risks have not ~ exceeded commercial insurance coverage for the past two years. Management believes that all claims currently pending are either adequately covered by insurance or will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the District. B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM (LOSAP) The District's financial statements are for the year ended December 31, 2012. The information contained e' in this note is based on information for the District's Length of Service Award Program (the "Plan") for the Plan year ended December 31, 2012, which is the most recent Plan year for which complete information is available. The District established a defined benefit Plan (referred to as "LOSAP" -Length of Service Award Program -under Section 457(e)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code) for the active volunteer firefighter ~ members of the Mattituck Fire Department. The program took effect on effective January 1, 1992. The Plan was established pursuant to Article 11-A of New York State General Municipal Law. The Plan provides municipally-funded pension-like benefits to facilitate the recruitment and retention of active volunteer firefighters. The District is the sponsor of the Plan and the Plan administrator (administration assistance provided Penflex, Inc). • -16- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 • 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM (LOSAP) (continued) Plan Description: • Participation. Vesting and Service Credit Active volunteer firefighters who have reached the age of 18 and who have completed one year of firefighting service are eligible to participate in the Plan. Participants acquire a nonforfeitable right to a service award after being credited with five years of firefighting service or upon attaining the Plan's ~ entitlement age. The Plan's entitlement age is age 62. In general, an active volunteer firefighter is credited with a year of firefighting service for each calendar year after the establishment of the Plan in which they accumulate fifty points. Points are granted for the performance of certain activities in accordance with a system ("Point System") established by the District on the basis of a statutory list of activities and point values. A Participant may also receive service credit for five years of active volunteer firefighting service rendered prior to the establishment of the Plan as an active volunteer firefighter of the Mattituck Fire Department. Benefits A Participant's benefit under the Plan is the actuarial equivalent of a monthly payment for I'rfe equal to $20 multiplied by the Participant's total number of years of firefighting service. The number of years of firefighting service used to compute the benefit cannot exceed forty. Except in the case of Pre-Entitlement • Age death or total and permanent disablement, a Participant's benefit will not be paid until the Participant reaches the Entitlement Age ("EA") of 62. A Participant's benefit is paid as a ten-year certain and continuous monthly payment I'rfe annuity. Currently, there are no other forms of payment of a Participant's earned Plan benefit. The Plan provides statutorily mandated death and disability benefits. The Plan also provides optional line ~ of duty disability benefits. Should a volunteer firefighter of the District become totally and temporarily disabled, or partially and permanently disabled, as certified by the Workers' Compensation Board or other competent authority approved by the Board of Fire Commissioners, and the disability occurs during the course of service as a volunteer, while actively engaged in .providing line of duty services, as defined in subdivision one of section five of the Volunteer Firefighters' Benefit Law, the firefighter shall receive five points for each complete calendar month of such disability under the Point System up to the earlier of the ~ date such volunteer is no longer totally and temporarily or partially and permanently disabled or attains the EA. However, 'rf such disability becomes a permanent and total disability and a Mattituck Fire District Service Award Program Total and Permanent Disability is awarded on account of such disablement, then no future points shall be credited under this special line of duty disability benefit provision after the date of the awarding of such Total and Permanent Disability by the Board of Fire Commissioners. If a Participant is awarded a Total and Permanent Service Award Program Disability by the Board of Fire ~ Commissioners before attaining the EA for a disability commencing after December 31, 1991, the Participant is entitled to receive an amount equal to the Participant's Accrued Service Award earned as of the date such disability payment is awarded by the Board of Fire Commissioners and payable on the first day of every month for the lifetime of the Participant or for ten years, whichever is greater. Once a Participant is awarded a Total and Permanent Service Award Program Disability under the Plan provisions, such Participant shall no longer be eligible to participate in the District's Plan. • _17_ MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012 • 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM (LOSAP) (continued) Plan Descriotion: (continued) • Benefits (continued) If a Participant dies before attaining the EA, a lump-sum shall be paid to the Participant's designated beneficiary equal to the discounted actuarial present value of the Participant's Accrued Service Award earned as of the date of death. If the Participant was an active volunteer firefighter of the District as of the ~ date of death, the minimum death benefit payable to the Participant's designated beneficiary shall be $20,000. Participants who are active after attaining the EA and who have commenced receiving their Plan benefit have the opportunity to earn Plan aedit and to thereby increase their Plan payments. In addition, Participants who are active at the time of reaching EA receive an additional death benefit of $20,000. • Fiduciary Investment and ConVol Service credit is determined based on information certified to the Board of Fire Commissioners by the Chief of each fire company having members who participate in the Plan. Each fire company must maintain all required records on forms prescribed by the Board of Fire Commissioners. • The Board of Fire Commissioners of the District has retained and designated Penflex, Inc. to assist in the adminisVation of the Plan. The designated Plan adminisfrator's functions include calculating the amount to be contributed at the end of each year based upon the criteria set forth in the Plan Document. Disbursements of Plan assets for the payment of benefits or administrative expenses must be approved by the Board of Fire Commissioners and delivered to the Custodian through a Payment Schedule. The Board of Fire Commissioners of the District has retained and designated Nationwide L'rfe Insurance as the ~ Custodian of the Plan's assets. Nationwide Life Insurance shall make payments to Plan Participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with the Payment Schedule. Plan assets are required to be held in Vust by Length of Service Award Program legislation, for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their beneficiaries or for the purpose of defraying the reasonable expenses of the operation and adminisfration of the Plan. The trust agreement is ~ dated January 1, 1992 as amended, and the Vustees are the Board of Fire Commissioners of the DisVict. Authority to invest Plan assets is vested in the Board of Fire Commissioners of the District. Subject to resVictions in the Plan document, Plan assets are invested in accordance with a statutory "prudent person" rule. The Plan document restricts the Trustee from investing in securities or obligations issued by the Mattituck Fire District, other than a de minimis amount held in common investment vehicles in which the Trustee invests. The DisVict is required to retain an actuary to determine the amount of the DisVict's conVibutions to the plan. The actuary retained by the District for this purpose is Tom Fiorillo, ASA, MAAA • of Penflex, Inc.

Under this cost method, there are two components to the annual cost each year. The first component, the "normal cost", is equal to the level annual payment ~ required to fund the current Participant's projected benefits based on their service credit earned after the effective date of the Plan and before the EA. The second component, the annual amortization cost, equals the level annual payments required to fund over the amortization period(s), the Participant's benefits, if any based on (1) either service credit earned before the effective date of the Plan or service credit earned after the attainment of the EA, or (2) Plan amendments that create an immediate unfunded liability and are required to be amortized. • Amortization period for liability for service after EA - 3 years Amortization period for liability far service after EA, Retro - 5 years Under the Attained Age Normal Frozen Initial Liability cost method, actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the future years of firefighting service before the EA for the group of firefighters participating in the Plan on the valuation date. Higher than expected investment income, for example, in • any one particular year will reduce the normal cost in that year and in each of the future years based upon the ages of the current firefighters participating in the program on the valuation date. Likewise, losses to the Plan's Trust Fund will result in an increase in the future annual normal cost.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Mattituck Fire District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) tc determine the audit 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 Mattituck Fire District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Mattituck Fire District's internal control. ~ 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 Mattituck Fire District, New York's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A • significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal conVol that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not ~ been identified. PERSONAL SERVICE. TRUSTED ADVICE.
