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.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1C and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. t� Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the "Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Mattituck Fire District, New York as of December 31, 2017, or changes in financial position for the year then ended.

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 r 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 for the purpose of carrying on specific 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 Fund—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: J 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: Agency Fund — used to account for money (and/or 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. -7- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued) C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (continued) The District follows the Uniform System of Accounts as described in the Fire District Accounting and Reporting Manual issued by the Office of the New York State Comptroller. Under this system the District's governmental activities use a current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified 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 —1 Cash balances of the Capital Reserve for Building and Grounds and the Capital Reserve for Apparatus are classified 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. PREPAID ITEMS Prepaid items represent insurance benefits that will benefit a future period. 4. CAPITAL ASSETS All capital assets with an original cost of $1,000 or more are valued at historical cost or estimated historical costs if 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 r � is as follows: Buildings 20-50 years Infrastructure 40 years Vehicles and related equipment 5-20 years Equipment 5-20 years In accordance with the Accounting and Reporting Manual for Fire Districts, issued by the Office of the New York State Comptroller, depreciation expense is not recorded in 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. 5. 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. -8- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued) D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY(continued) 6. FUND EQUITY In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report aggregate amounts for five classifications of fund balances based on the constraints imposed on the use of these resources; they are 1) nonspendable,2) restricted 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 spendable portion of the fund balance comprises the remaining four classifications: restricted, 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 W-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 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"to 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 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. -9- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) E. 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. F. 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. G. 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 �.l 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 property tax cap for fire districts. For fiscal years, beginning in 2012 and lasting through at least June 15, 2020, annually, fire districts cannot increase their property tax levy by more than 2.00%or the rate of inflation (whichever is less) plus additional adjustments unless a resolution approved by a vote of 60% of the total voting power of the Board of Fire Commissioners is obtained to override the property tax levy limit for the coming fiscal year. The District has complied with this law in adopting its 2017 budget. r` � C~ - 10- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. STEWARDSHIP COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY(continued) C.

RETIREMENT SYSTEM (continued) Tier 6 Eligibility:Tier 6 members,with the exception of those retiring under special retirement plans, must have ten years of service and be at least age 55 to be eligible to collect a retirement benefit.The full benefit age for Tier 6 members is age 63 for ERS members. Benefit calculation: Generally, the benefit is 1.67% of final average salary for each year of service if the member retires with less than 20 years. If a member retires with 20 years of service,the benefit is 1.75%of final average salary for each year of service. If a member retires with more than 20 years of service, an C� additional benefit of 2% of final average salary is applied for each year of service over 20 years. Tier 6 members with ten or more years of service can retire as early as age 55 with reduced benefits. Final average salary is the average of the wages earned in the five highest consecutive years. For Tier 6 members, each year of final average salary is limited to no more than 10% of the average of the previous four years. Ordinary Disability Benefits Generally, ordinary disability benefits, usually one-third of salary, are provided to eligible members after ten years of service; in some cases,they are provided after five years of service. Accidental Disability Benefits For all eligible Tier 1 and Tier 2 members, the accidental disability benefit is a pension of 75% of final average salary, with an offset for any workers' compensation benefits received. The benefit for eligible Tier 3, 4 and 5 members is the ordinary disability benefit with the years-of-service eligibility requirement dropped. Ordinary Death Benefits r' Death benefits are payable upon the death, before retirement, of a member who meets eligibility requirements as set forth by law. The first$50,000 of an ordinary death benefit is paid in the form of group life term life insurance.The benefit is generally three times the member's annual salary. For most members, there is also a reduced post-retirement ordinary death benefit available. -1 Post-Retirement Benefit Increases A cost-of-living adjustment is provided annually to: 1) all pensioners who have attained age 62 and have been retired for five years;2) all pensioners who have attained age 55 and have been retired for ten years; 3) all disability pensioners, regardless of age, who have been retired for five years; 4) recipients of an accidental death benefit, regardless of age, who have been receiving such benefit for five years; and 5)the spouse of a deceased retiree receiving a lifetime benefit under an option elected by the retiree at ti retirement. An eligible spouse is entitled to one-half the cost-of-living adjustment amount that would have been paid to the retiree when the retiree would have met the eligibility criteria.This cost-of-living adjustment is a percentage of the annual retirement benefit of the eligible member as computed on a base benefit amount not to exceed $18,000 of the annual retirement benefit.The cost-of-living percentage shall be 50% of the annual consumer price index as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor, but cannot be less than 1% or exceed 3%. Contributions Plan members who joined the system before July 27, 1976 are not required to make contributions. Those joining after July 27, 1976 and before January 1, 2010 with less than ten years of membership are required to contribute 3%of their annual salary.

Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuations were as follows: ERS Measurement date March 31,2017 Actuarial valuation date April 1, 2016 Interest rate 7.0% Salary scale 3.8%o Decrement tables April 1,2010- March 31, 2015 System's Experience Inflation rate 2.5% Annuitant mortality rates are based on April 1, 2010 — March 31, 2015 System's experience with adjustments for mortality improvements based on the Society of Actuaries'Scale MP-2014. The actuarial assumptions used in the April 1, 2016 valuation are based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period April 1, 2010—March 31,2015. The long term rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns net of investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by each of the target asset allocation percentages and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of the arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the target asset allocation are summarized below: ERS Long-term Target Expected Rate Allocation of Return Asset type Domestic equity 36.0% 4.55% International equity 14.0% 6.35% Private equity 10.0% 7.75% Real estate 10.0% 5.80% Absolute return strategies 2.0% 4.00% — Oportunistic portfolio 3.0% 5.89% Real assets 3.0% 5.54% Bonds and mortgages 17.0% 1.31% Cash 1.0% -0.25% Inflation indexed bonds 4.0% 1.50% 100.0% l� - 18- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS r1 3. DETAILED NOTES (continued) D. RETIREMENT SYSTEM (continued) Discount Rate The discount rate used to calculate the total pension liability was 7.0%. The projection of cash flows used ( to determine the discount rate assumes that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially. Based upon the assumptions,the System's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Asset/ (Liability) to the Discount Rate Assumption The following presents the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.0%, as well as what the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1% point lower(6.0%) or 1% point higher (8.0%) than the current rate: 1% Current 1% Decrease Assumption Increase (6.0%) (7.0%) (8.0%) Employer's proportionate share of the net pension asset/(]iability) $ (120,953) $ (37,871) $ 32,374 Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position The components of the current-year net pension liability of the employers participating in the system as of March 31,2017,were as follows: (Dollars in Thousands) Valuation date April 1, 2016 Employers'total pension liability $ 177,400,586 Plan Fiduciary Net Position (168,004,363) (�l Employers' net pension assetl(liability) $ 9,396,223 Ratio of plan fiduciary net position to the Employers'total pension liability 94.70% Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in the System's separately issued financial statements. 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES A. 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 rte; position or results of operations of the District. - 19- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM (LOSAP) The District's financial statements are for the year ended December 31, 2017. The information contained in this note is based on information for the District's Length of Service Award Program (the "Plan") as of January 1, 2018 for the Plan year ended December 31, 2017, which is the most recent Plan year for which complete information is available. Actuarial values are calculated as of January 1, 2018 based upon information and service accruals earned through December 31,2017 under the Plan. 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 active volunteer firefighters of the Mattituck Fire Department. The program took effect on 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 by Penflex, Inc.). 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. Benefits A Participant's benefit under the Plan is the actuarial equivalent of a monthly payment for life 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 life 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, if 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. l� -20- MATTITUCK FIRE DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CNI 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM (LOSAP) (continued) Plan Description: (continued) Benefits (continued) 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. 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 credit 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 Control 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 administration of the Plan.The designated Plan administrator'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 Life 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 trust 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 administration of the Plan. The trust agreement is �! dated January 1, 1992 as amended, and the trustees are the Board of Fire Commissioners of the District. Authority to invest Plan assets is vested in the Board of Fire Commissioners of the District. Subject to restrictions 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 District is required to retain an actuary to determine the amount of the District's contributions to the plan. The actuary retained by the District for this purpose is Craig Relyea, ASA of Penflex, Inc.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM(LOSAP) (continued) Funding Methodology and Actuarial Assumptions: Normal Costs The actuarial valuation methodology used by the actuary to determine the District's contribution is the "Attained Age Normal Cost Method". 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) service credit earned before the effective date of the Plan, (2) service credit earned after the attainment of the EA, and (3) other unfunded accrued liability. Amortization period for liability for service after EA—3 years Amortization period for re-established unfunded liability-15 years Under the Attained Age Normal Cost Method, the unfunded accrued liability is calculated using the Unit Credit 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. The assumptions used by the actuary to determine the District's contribution and the actuarial present value of benefits are: Assumed rate of return on investment 5.50% Mortality Tables used for: Withdrawal: None Disability: None Retirement: 100%at Entitlement Age Death (Active): RP-2014 Mortality Table without projection for calculation of Pre-EA self-insured death benefit only Death (Inactive): RP-2014 Male Mortality Table without projection C.

collectively comprise the Mattituck Fire District, New York's financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 5, _ 2018. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Mattituck Fire District, New York's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to 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, New York's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Mattituck Fire District, New York'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'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 control 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.
