PINEWOOD SPRINGS WATER DISTRICT <br /> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br /> December 31, 2011 and 2010 <br /> NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued <br /> Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in confoiinity with generally accepted <br /> accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the <br /> reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of <br /> the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the <br /> reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. <br /> Budgets. Colorado state law requires the adoption of a budget and appropriations. The <br /> budgets and related appropriations are prepared on the legal budgetary basis, which differs <br /> from a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in that: <br /> - capital revenues and capital expenditures are treated as operating items. <br /> - principal retired is budgeted as non-operating expense. <br /> - depreciation is not budgeted. <br /> - contributions are budgeted as non-operating revenue <br /> Therefore, comparison of actual operations on the accrual basis to the budgetary basis is not <br /> appropriate. A statement comparing the budget to actual - budgetary basis is included in <br /> Schedule 1. The adjustments necessary to convert the actual revenue and expenditures to the <br /> budgetary basis for the year ending December 31, 2011 are presented in the following <br /> schedule: <br /> Budgetary GAAP <br /> Basis Basis <br /> GENERAL WATER REVENUE FUND: <br /> Loss from operations $ - $ (95,010) <br /> Revenue over expenditures (Schedule 1) 15,400 - <br /> Add: Depreciation - 142,979 <br /> Interest income - 1,659 <br /> Property taxes - 278,182 <br /> Less: Interest and agent fees - (116,441) <br /> Change in receivables and payables - (195,969) <br /> Excess of revenues over expenditures $ 15,400 $ 15,400 <br /> Page 16 <br />
