Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities

For the Year Ended June 30, 2017

Net Change in fund balances-governmental funds

(289,800)

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures (2,810,000-601,000)

2,209,000

Transaction involving capital assets resulted in a gain

(566,000)

Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the satement of net position (first say 2,060,000/100= 20,600) next -2,060,000-(20,600*1)

(2,080,600)

An increasein accrued liabilities indicates that expenditures recorded in the governmental funds exceed expenses for the current period (473,000-500,000)

(27,000)

Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds

367,600

Change in net position of governmental activities

(386,800)
