Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Nantucket Airport Commission
Nantucket Memorial Airport
Nantucket, Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Nantucket Memorial Airport, an enterprise fund of
the Town Nantucket, Massachusetts, as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as listed in the
table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of Nantucket Massachusetts’
management. 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 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.
These financial statements, as noted in Note 1, present only the Nantucket Memorial Airport and do not purport
to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, as of June 30, 2011
and 2010, and the changes in its financial position or, where applicable, its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the Nantucket Memorial Airport of the Town of Nantucket,
Massachusetts, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows,
thereof for the fiscal years 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 February 21, 2012, on
our consideration of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts’ internal control over financial reporting and our tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. That
report was issued in conjunction with the audit of the Nantucket Memorial Airport, which is an enterprise fund of
the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report
in considering the results of our audit.
Management’s discussion and analysis, located on the following pages, the retirement system schedule of
funding progress, retirement system schedule of employer contributions, other postemployment benefit plan
schedule of funding progress and employer contributions and other postemployment benefit plan actuarial
methods and assumptions located after the notes to the financial statements, are not a required part of the
2
financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries
of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary
information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the Nantucket Memorial Airport (the Airport), we offer readers of these financial statements
this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
The Airport complies with financial reporting requirements issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB), and Management’s Discussion and Analysis are part of these requirements. The GASB is the
authoritative standards-setting body that provides guidance on the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Airport’s performance is discussed and
analyzed within the context of the accompanying financial statements and disclosures following this section.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Nantucket Memorial Airport’s financial
statements. The financial statements include the Statement of Net Assets, the Statement of Revenue, Expenses
and Change in Fund Net Assets, the Statement of Cash Flows and the notes to the financial statements.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all assets and liabilities, with the difference between the
two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Assets presents information showing how
the Airport’s net assets changed during the most recent fiscal years. All changes in net assets are reported as
soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in
future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected fees and earned but unused vacation leave).
The Statement of Cashflows presents information showing the cash inflows and outflows for the Airport.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the financial statements.
Financial Highlights Fiscal 2011 and 2010
• The total of assets exceeded liabilities (i.e., net assets) by $49.8 million and $48.2 million respectively.
• Unrestricted net assets for the Airport totaled ($320,000) and $267,000 respectively.
• Total debt totaled $12.6 million and $27 million respectively.

that the net cost, including the amortization of the unfunded liability exceeds contributions.
This liability is based on an actuarially determined calculation of the cost of providing benefits, other than pension
costs, to retirees and their spouses. The Town of Nantucket obtained an updated actuarial valuation report for
Nantucket Memorial Airport 6 Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Notes to Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements present the Nantucket Memorial Airport (the Airport) an enterprise fund of
the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts. These statements are not intended to and do not present fairly the
financial position of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts. These statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the recognized standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The significant accounting policies are described herein.
A. Reporting Entity
The Nantucket Memorial Airport is an enterprise fund of the Town of Nantucket. Its operation is governed by the
Nantucket Memorial Airport Commission.
B. Measurement Focus. Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The Nantucket Memorial Airport’s financial statements are presented using the flow of economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when
earned and expenses are recorded when the liabilities are incurred.
This operation of the Airport is accounted for as an enterprise fund, which is a proprietary fund type. Proprietary
funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary
funds principal ongoing operations. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
For enterprise fund accounts, all applicable Financial accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements
issued on or prior to November 30, 1989, are applied, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict
GASB pronouncements.
C. Cash and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with
an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments are carried at fair value.
D. Accounts Receivable
The recognition of revenue related to accounts receivable reported are reported under the accrual basis of
accounting.
Intergovernmental
Various federal and state grants for operating and capital purposes are applied for and received annually. For
non-expenditure driven grants, receivables are recorded as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met. For expenditure driven grants, receivables are recorded when the qualifying
expenditures are incurred and all other grant requirements are met.
These receivables are considered 100% collectible and therefore do not report an allowance for uncollectibles.
Notes to Financial Statements Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Nantucket Memorial Airport 13 Financial Statements
Airport User Fees
The outstanding receivable for Airport Fees is comprised primarily of fuel sales.
E. Inventories
Inventories of the Nantucket Memorial Airport are priced at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
determined on the first-in, first-out method basis. Expendable supplies and small tools are not inventoried but
rather expensed when purchased.
F. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land; land improvements; buildings; vehicle; machinery and equipment; and
furniture, fixtures and computer equipment, are reported in the statements. Capital assets are recorded at
historical cost or at estimated historical cost when actual historical cost could not be determined. Donated capital
assets are recorded at the estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Construction period interest is
capitalized on constructed capital assets.
All purchases and construction costs in excess of $10,000 are capitalized at the date of acquisition or
construction, respectively, with expected useful lives of greater than one year.
Capital assets (excluding land) are depreciated on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of capital
assets are as follows:
Estimated
Useful
Life
(in years)
Vehicles……………………………………………… 5
Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment………… 5-10
Machinery and equipment……………………………… 10-15
Infrastructure…………………………………………… 40-70
Buildings………………………………………………… 33-50
Capital Asset Type
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized and are treated as expenses when incurred. Improvements are capitalized.
G. Net Assets
Net assets are reported as restricted when amounts are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by
outside parties for a specific future use.
H. Long-term debt
Long-term debt is reported as liabilities in the statement of net assets. Material bond premiums and discounts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported
net of the applicable bond premium or discount.

I. Advertising
The Airport’s policy is to expense advertising costs the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense
for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 totaled $7,329 and $5,285, respectively.
J. Compensated Absences
Employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts based on collective bargaining agreements,
state laws and executive policies.
Vested or accumulated vacation and sick leave, which will be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources, is reported as an expense and a liability.
K. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure for contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during
the fiscal year. Actual results could vary from estimates that were used.
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash for the Nantucket Memorial Airport is in control of the Town Treasurer as required by state law.
Statutes authorize the investment in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies, and instrumentalities, certificates
of deposit, repurchase agreements, money market accounts, bank deposits and the State Treasurer's Investment
Pool (the Pool).
The Pool meets the criteria of an external investment pool. The Pool is administered by the Massachusetts
Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT), which was established by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth who serves
as Trustee. The fair value of the position in the Pool is the same as the value of the Pool shares.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits
The Town Treasurer, at times, commingles other Town cash accounts with those specifically related to the
Nantucket Memorial Airport. The Airport’s portion of these funds is reported on the Statement of Net Assets as
cash and cash equivalents.
In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Nantucket Memorial Airport’s
deposits may not be returned to it. The Airport does not have a deposit policy for custodial credit risk.
At fiscal year-end June 30, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amount of deposits totaled $2,578,548 and $18,560,921,
respectively and the bank balance totaled $2,193,956 and $18,328,292 respectively. Of the bank balance,
$250,000 and $250,000 were covered by the Federal Depositors Insurance Company (“FDIC”), $1,943,956 and
$18,078,292 were collateralized, therefore the Airport did not have funds that were exposed to custodial credit risk
because of being uninsured or uncollateralized.
The repurchase agreement consists of an overnight sweep agreement which is invested in U.S. Treasurer Notes.

NOTE 8 – RISK FINANCING
The Airport is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; and natural disasters for which the Town carries commercial insurance. The amount of claim
settlements has not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the previous three fiscal years.
The Town of Nantucket is self-insured for its health insurance activities, the Airport is included in the Town’s
insurance plan. The Airport pays the Town’s health insurance fund for its proportionate share of coverage.
NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN
Plan Description - The Airport contributes to the Barnstable County Contributory Retirement System (the System),
a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Barnstable County Retirement
Board. Substantially all employees of the Airport are members of the System.
The System provides retirement, disability and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Chapter 32 of
the MGL assigns authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the plan. Cost-of-living adjustments
granted between 1981 and 1997 and any increase in other benefits imposed by the Commonwealth’s state law
during those years are borne by the Commonwealth and are deposited into the pension fund. Cost-of-living
adjustments granted after 1997 must be approved by the Barnstable County Retirement Board and are borne by
the System. The System issues a publicly available, unaudited, financial report in accordance with guidelines
established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission
(PERAC). That report may be obtained by contacting the System located at 99 Willow Street, Yarmouthport,
Massachusetts, 02675.
Funding Policy - Plan members are required to contribute to the System at rates ranging from 5% to 11% of
annual covered compensation. The Airport is required to pay into the System their share of the system-wide
actuarial determined contribution that is apportioned among the employers based on active current payroll.
Notes to Financial Statements Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Nantucket Memorial Airport 24 Financial Statements
Administrative expenses are funded through investment earnings. Chapter 32 of the MGL governs the
contributions of plan members and the Airport. The Airport’s contributions to the System for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $495,449, $415,234, and $419,860 respectively, which equaled its
required contributions for each fiscal year.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the
financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is
increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. Additionally, the schedule
of employer contributions, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the financial
statements, presents multiyear trend information for required and actual contributions relating to the cost-sharing
plan as a whole, of which the Airport is one participating employer, as well as the Airport’s proportionate share of
the plan’s annual contributions. This information is designed to be helpful for understanding the scale of the
information presented relative to the Airport.
NOTE 10 – POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Plan Description – The Town of Nantucket administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (the
plan), in which the Nantucket Memorial Airport participates. The plan provides lifetime healthcare for eligible
retirees and their spouses through the Town’s health insurance plan, which covers both active and retired
members, including the Town’s school teachers. Chapter 32B of the MGL assigns authority to establish and
amend benefit provisions of the plan. Benefit provisions are negotiated between the Airport and the unions
representing Airport employees and are renegotiated each bargaining period. The Retiree Health Plan does not
issue a publicly available financial report.
Funding Policy – Contribution requirements are also negotiated between the Airport and union representatives.
The required contribution is based on a pay-as-you-go financing requirement. The Airport contributes 80% of the
cost of current-year premiums for eligible retired plan members and their spouses. Plan members receiving
benefits contribute the remaining 20% of their premium costs. For fiscal year 2011, the Airport contributed
approximately $145,000 to the plan.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation – The Airport’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost
(expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially
determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding
that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded
actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

The Airport’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB
obligation for fiscal year 2011 was as follows:
Percentage of
Fiscal Year Annual Annual OPEB Net OPEB
Ended OPEB Cost Cost Contributed Obligation

6/30/2009 608,014 24% 464,626
Funded Status and Funding Progress – As of July 1, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial
accrued liability for benefits totaled approximately $5.4 million, all of which was unfunded.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future
employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the
plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are
compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding
progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements,
presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing
over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the
substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of
benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the
employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that
are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2010, actuarial valuation, actuarial liabilities were determined using the projected unit credit cost
method. The actuarial assumptions included a 5% investment return assumption, which is based on the expected
yield on the assets of the Airport, calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation date, and an
annual medical/drug cost trend rate of 10% decreasing by .75% for 6 years and by .50% for 1 year to an ultimate
level of 5% per year. The UAAL is being amortized over a 30 year period, with amortization payments increasing
at 4.50% per year. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2011 is 27 years.
NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS
The Airport has contracts with JK Scanlan and Jacobs, William Payne Engineering and Edwards and Kelcey for
construction of the new aircraft rescue and fire fighting (A.R.F.F.) building. At year end, the open contracts
totaled approximately $696,000, $219,000 and $434,000.
NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES
The Airport participates in a number of federal award programs. Although the grant programs have been audited
in accordance with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 through June 30, 2011 and 2010,
these programs are still subject to financial and compliance audits. The amount, if any, of expenditures which
Notes to Financial Statements Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Nantucket Memorial Airport 26 Financial Statements
may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time, although it is expected such
amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
Various legal actions and claims are pending. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of
individual litigated matters is not always predictable. Although the amount of liability, if any, at June 30, 2011,
cannot be ascertained, management believes any resulting liability should not materially affect the Airport’s
financial position at June 30, 2011 and 2010.
NOTE 13 – IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW GASB PRONOUNCEMENTS
During fiscal year 2011, the Airport has implemented the following GASB pronouncements:
• The GASB issued Statement #54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions,

NOTE A – PENSION PLAN
Notes to Required Supplementary Information
The Airport contributes to the Barnstable County Contributory Retirement System (“Retirement System”), a cost-
sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”) administered by the Barnstable County
Retirement Board. The Retirement System provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to members and
beneficiaries. Chapter 32 of the MGL assigns authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the Plan.
Plan members are required to contribute to the Retirement System at rates ranging from 5% to 11% of annual
covered compensation. The Airport is required to pay into the Retirement System its share of the systemwide
actuarially determined contribution which is apportioned among the employers based on active covered payroll.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the
financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is
increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. Additionally, the schedule
of employer contributions, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the financial
statements, presents multiyear trend information for required and actual contributions relating to the cost-sharing
plan as a whole, of which the Airport is one participating employer, as well as the Airport’s proportionate share of
the plans annual contributions. This information is designed to be helpful for understanding the scale of the
information presented relative to the Airport.
The following actuarial methods and assumptions were used in the Retirement System’s most recent actuarial
valuation:
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions:
Valuation Date…………………………………………………January 1, 2010
Actuarial Cost Method…………………………………………Entry Age Normal Cost Method
Amortization Method…………………………………………Increasing at 4.0% per year after fiscal 2015
Early Retirement Incentives and remaining
unfunded liability
Asset Valuation Method………………………………………5-year smoothing of investment returns greater (less)
than expected.
Actuarial Assumptions:
Investment rate of return……………………………………8.00%
Projected salary increases…………………………………Varies by length of service with
4.75% and 5.25% for Groups 1 and 4, respectively
Cost of living adjustments………………………………… 3.0% for the first $12,000 of retirement income,
increasing to $13,000 in fiscal 2012.
Plan Membership:
Retired participants and beneficiaries receiving benefits…………………………………… 2,422
Terminated participants entitled to a return of their employee contributions……………… 649
Terminated participants with a vested right to a deferred or immediate benefit………… 123

NOTE B – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Nantucket Memorial Airport participates in the Town’s healthcare plan. The Town administers a single-
employer defined benefit healthcare plan (“the Retiree Health plan”). The plan provides lifetime healthcare for
eligible retirees and their spouses through the Town’s health insurance plan, which covers both active and retired
members, including teachers.
The Airport currently finances its other postemployment benefits (OPEB) on a pay-as-you-go basis. As a result,
the funded ratio (actual value of assets expressed as a percentage of the actuarial accrued liability) is 0%. In
accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards, the Town has recorded its OPEB cost equal to the
actuarial determined annual required contribution (ARC) which includes the normal cost of providing benefits for
the year and a component for the amortization of the total unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the plan.
The Schedule of Funding Progress presents multiyear trend information which compares, over time, the actuarial
accrued liability for benefits with the actuarial value of accumulated plan assets
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan and included the types
of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit cost between the
employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that
are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The Schedule of Actuarial Methods and Assumptions presents factors that significantly affect the identification of
trends in the amounts reported.
