These financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of Nantucket's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of the Nantucket Islands Land Bank discretely presented component unit. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Nantucket Islands Land Bank discretely presented component unit, is based on the report of the other auditor. 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 opinions. The Town does not have a system of internal control that allows us to form an opinion on the balance of cash, investments and interfund receivables and payables. These internal control deficiencies also do not allow us to form an opinion on the accuracy of the revenue, expenses and expenditure lines reported. In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, except for the effects on the financial statements of the matters described in the previous paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, as of June 30, 2008, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the fiscal year 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 March 20, 2009 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. 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. 2 Management’s discussion and analysis, located on the following pages, and the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance – general fund – budgetary basis, schedule of funding progress, and schedule of employer contributions located after the notes to the basic financial statements, are not a required part of the basic 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. March 20, 2009 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 3 Management’s Discussion and Analysis Management’s Discussion and Analysis Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 4 Basic Financial Statements Management’s Discussion and Analysis As management of the Town of Nantucket, we offer readers of these financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The Town 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). External users of these financial statements, such as investors and rating agencies, rely on consistent reporting standards in order to compare the financial position of the Town of Nantucket with that of other governmental entities. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Town of Nantucket’s basic financial statements. These basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business. 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 activities presents information showing how the government’s net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. 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 taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities include general government, public safety, education, public works, community preservation, human services, culture and recreation, interest and state and county charges. The business-type activities include the activities of the sewer department, solid waste, airport, and the Siasconset and Wannacomet water departments. The government-wide financial statements include not only the Town of Nantucket itself (known as the primary government), but also the County of Nantucket (County) and the Nantucket Islands Land Bank (Land Bank), which are legally separate entities. The County is included because the elected Board of Selectmen serves also as County Commissioners. The Land Bank is included because a portion of the Town’s debt was incurred on behalf of the Land Bank, and the Town guarantees other debt incurred by the Land Bank. Financial information for these component units is reported separately within the governmental and proprietary fund statements respectively. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Fund accounting is used to ensure and Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 5 Basic Financial Statements demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund statements focus on near-term inflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Town of Nantucket adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund as required supplementary information to demonstrate compliance with this budget. Proprietary funds. The Town maintains two types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government- wide financial statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its sewer department, solid waste, airport, and the Siasconset and Wannacomet water departments’ activities and activities of the Nantucket Islands Land Bank component unit. Internal service funds are used by the Town to report the activity of self funded insurance programs, including health and workers’ compensation insurance. Governmental accounting principles allow self funded insurance programs to be reported in either the general fund or in an internal service fund. The insurance programs benefit both the governmental and business-type activities of the town; however, the governmental activities include more employees and retirees than the business-type activities. For that reason, the internal service funds are included within the category of governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.” Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. Notes to the basic financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Financial Highlights as of the close of Fiscal 2008 • The total of assets exceeded liabilities (i.e., net assets) by $176 million for governmental activities, and $103 million for business type activities. • Governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $34 million. • Unreserved fund balance for the general fund totaled $7 million. • Total governmental funds debt totaled $77.2 million, and total enterprise fund debt totaled $83.5 million. Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 6 Basic Financial Statements Government-wide Financial Analysis The following chart provides a summary of Governmental activities financial data for fiscal year 2008, with comparative fiscal 2007 information. Governmental Activities Balance at Balance at June 30, June 30, 2008 2007 Assets: Current assets……………………………………………$ 57,632,959 $ 46,460,116 Noncurrent assets (excluding capital)………………… 499,024 608,233 Capital assets, not being depreciated………………… 175,330,456 172,004,677 Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation…… 27,777,272 26,493,294 Total assets………………………………………… 261,239,711 245,566,320 Liabilities: Current liabilities (excluding debt)…………………… 6,579,717 5,923,957 Noncurrent liabilities (excluding debt)………………… 1,221,905 1,495,480 Current debt……………………………………………… 11,976,816 10,228,096 Noncurrent debt………………………………………… 65,196,354 52,121,592 Total liabilities………………………………………84,974,792 69,769,125 Net Assets: Capital assets net of related debt……………………… 153,639,878 145,427,507 Restricted………………………………………………… 13,803,760 9,291,543 Unrestricted……………………………………………… 8,821,281 21,078,145 Total net assets……………………………………$ 176,264,919 $ 175,797,195 As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. For governmental activities, assets exceeded liabilities by $176 million at the close of fiscal year 2008. The largest portion of the Town’s net assets, $153 million, (87%), reflects investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any outstanding debt which was borrowed in order to build or acquire those assets. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the net assets, $14 million (8%), represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets, $9 million (5%), may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town reports positive balances in all three categories of net assets.

Of that amount, $14.9 million was directly supported by program revenues consisting of charges for services, operating and capital grants and contributions. General revenues totaled $62.9 million, primarily coming from property taxes, motor vehicle excise, hotel/motel taxes, non- restricted state aid and other miscellaneous charges. The governmental activities net assets increased by approximately $468,000 in Fiscal 2008 after recording a capital transfer of over $15 million to the Sewer Enterprise Fund for debt that will be repaid by the general government which will be used to construct capital assets for the Sewer Enterprise Fund. The resources for that transfer (borrowing agreement) are not included in the revenues shown above, in accordance with accrual accounting. Disregarding that capital transfer, governmental activities net assets increased by $15 million on a GAAP accounting basis. The major increase was a total of $8.2 million in capital assets, net of related debt. Other large increases include a $3.3 million capital transfer from the Nantucket County Sheriff’s department, a $2.8 million increase in the Internal Service Fund, and a $1 million increase in the community preservation fund.

The changes by fund are listed in the following table: Business-Type Activities Balance at Balance at Net June 30, June 30, Increase 2008 2007 (Decrease) Net Assets: Siasconset Water……………………………………… $ 4,017,461 $ 3,858,279 $ 159,182 Wannacomet Water Company………………………… 14,063,649 13,067,642 996,007 Nantucket Memorial Airport…………………………… 30,242,477 23,852,347 6,390,130 Sewer Enterprise Fund………………………………… 44,380,438 29,326,631 15,053,807 Solid Waste Enterprise Fund…………………………… 9,927,351 11,523,701 $ (1,596,350) Total net assets……………………………………$ 102,631,376 $ 81,628,600 $21,002,776 The most significant factor in this change is a $15 million capital transfer from the general government to the Sewer Enterprise Fund. This represents approximately one-third of the long term debt incurred on behalf of the Sewer Enterprise Fund to expand and improve a waste water treatment facility. The general government is responsible for the repayment of that portion of the debt, as approved by voters at Annual Town meetings and by ballot election. The increase in net assets for Nantucket Memorial Airport consists primarily of $6 million in capital contributions from state and federal grants for construction projects, including a new airport terminal. The change in net assets for the Wannacomet Water and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds occurred as a result of the fiscal year net income and net loss, respectively, in each of the Funds. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town reports $103 million in net assets for its combined business-type activities. Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $34.6 million, of which $10.6 million is general fund, and $24 million is nonmajor governmental funds. The general fund is the chief operating fund. At the end of fiscal 2008, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $7.2 million, while total fund balance was $10.6 million. Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 10 Basic Financial Statements As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 11% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 15% of that same amount. $364 thousand of the unreserved fund balance was designated at year end to support the 2009 budget. An additional $2.1 million was reserved for carry-over appropriations and encumbrances, and $931 thousand was reserved for future debt service. The unreserved, undesignated fund balance increased by $1 million. The Town also maintains a community preservation fund, classified within the non-major governmental funds which had a year end fund balance of $5.5 million. Of this amount, $3.3 million is designated for ongoing projects, by previous Annual Town Meeting votes. This fund is attributable to the Town’s acceptance of the Community Preservation Act, which allows the Town to impose a surcharge on property taxes and to receive matching state funds for specified uses related to the acquisition, creation, preservation and support of open space, historic resources, land for recreation use and community housing. In fiscal year 2008 the Town earned and accrued a year end receivable for state matching community preservation funds, of $1.1 million. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The General fund budget consists of those appropriations voted at Annual Town Meeting, carryover encumbrances and appropriations from the previous year, amounts charged by the Commonwealth and deducted from state revenues, and amounts required to be raised as a result of any deficits. The Town’s budget may be changed by action of Town Meeting or, in the last two months of the fiscal year, by vote of the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee, with statutory limitation as to amount. The original appropriation budget and the carryover encumbrances and appropriations totaled $73 million. Changes during the year consisted largely of allocations between and among departments. The net increase from changes to the appropriation budget totaled $127,214. Total actual revenue was lower than estimated revenue by $1.1 million, a negative variance of 2% of estimated revenue. At year end, outstanding purchase orders totaled approximately $500 thousand and carry-over appropriations totaled approximately $1.6 million. The total of these two items, $2.1 million, is reserved in fund balance at year end. The total of actual expenditures and these amounts reserved for future expenditures was lower than the final budget by approximately $3.4 million, a positive variance. The net of actual revenue and expense, compared to budgeted amounts, was a positive variance of $2.3 million. Of that amount, $931 thousand was reserved for 2009 debt service. The remainder, approximately $1.4 million, represents about 2% of the current year initial budget. The primary source of savings in expenditures resulted from health insurance coverage costs remaining stable. Capital Asset and Debt Administration In conjunction with the annual operating budget, the Town annually prepares a capital budget for the upcoming fiscal year and a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that is used as a guide for future capital expenditures. The Town’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2008, totals $203 million in the governmental funds, and $150 million in the enterprise funds (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, land improvements, equipment, vehicles and infrastructure. Current year fixed asset additions totaled $7.5 million for governmental activities, and $39.6 million for business- type activities. Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 11 Basic Financial Statements Long-term Debt At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town of Nantucket had total bonded debt outstanding of $160.7 million. The entire amount is classified as general obligation debt and is backed by the full faith and credit of the Town. Of this amount, $14.2 million is in short term notes and the remaining $146.6 is outstanding long term debt. The governmental fund portion of the outstanding debt is $77.2 million. The enterprise funds’ portion of the outstanding debt is $83.6 million. This amount is fully supported by the revenue of the enterprise funds, and does not rely upon a general fund subsidy.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates The Town’s tax base continued to grow in fiscal 2008. Taxable property increased by $234 million (1.2%) in 2008. New growth provided additional tax revenue of $1.1 million in 2008 or 2.6% of the prior year’s levy base. The average residential assessed value was $1.9 million in 2008. The residential tax rate for 2008 was $2.67 per $1,000 of assessed value. The 2008 Annual and Special Town Meetings approved a fiscal year 2009 total budget of $108.9 million, including a total general fund budget of $72.7 million, and an increase to the stabilization fund of $500 thousand. The residential tax rate for 2009 is $2.76 per $1,000 of assessed value.

Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 29 Basic Financial Statements Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 30 Basic Financial Statements NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Notes to Basic Financial Statements The accompanying basic financial statements of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts (the Town) 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 Town is a municipal corporation that is governed by an elected five member Board of Selectmen. For financial reporting purposes, the Town has included all funds, organizations, agencies, boards, commissions and institutions. The Town has also considered all potential component units for which it is financially accountable as well as other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Town are such that exclusion would cause the basic financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. As required by GAAP, these basic financial statements present the Town (the primary government) and its component units. Two entities have been included as component units in the reporting entity, because of the significance of their operational and/or financial relationships with the Town. Discretely Presented Component units – Discretely presented component units are entities that are legally separate from the Town, but for which the Town is financially accountable, or whose relationship with the Town is such that exclusion would cause the Town’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. These component units are reported in separate columns to emphasize that they are legally separate from the Town. In the Governmental Funds: (1) The County of Nantucket (County) has the same geographical boundaries as the Town of Nantucket, and the Town’s selectmen serve ex officio as the County Commissioners. The principal services provided by the County are the Registry of Deeds and the Sheriff’s Office. In the Enterprise Funds: (1) The Nantucket Islands Land Bank (Land Bank) was created by Chapter 669 of the Acts of 1983 of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to acquire and manage open space and resource protection within Nantucket County. The Land Bank is administered by the Nantucket Islands Land Bank Commission comprised of five elected members. Availability of Financial Information for Component Units The Nantucket Islands Land Bank issued separate audited financial statements. A copy of the complete financial statements can be obtained by contacting them at 22 Broad Street, Nantucket, MA 02554. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. Governmental activities, which are primarily supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which are supported primarily by user fees and charges. Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 31 Basic Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Nonmajor funds are aggregated and displayed in a single column. Major Fund Criteria Major funds must be reported if the following criteria are met: • If the total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of an individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding element (assets, liabilities, etc.) for all funds of that category or type (total governmental or total enterprise funds), and • If the total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding element for all governmental and enterprise funds combined. Additionally, any other governmental or enterprise fund that management believes is particularly significant to the basic financial statements may be reported as a major fund. Internal service funds and fiduciary funds are reported by fund type. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the liabilities are incurred. Real estate and personal property taxes are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a particular function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include the following: • Charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment. • Grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational requirements of a particular function or segment. • Grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not identifiable as program revenues are reported as general revenues. Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 32 Basic Financial Statements For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government-wide financial statements. However, the effect of interfund services provided and used between functions is not eliminated as the elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the functions affected. Fund Financial Statements Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available). Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences, claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with current expendable available resources. Real estate and personal property tax revenues are considered available if they are collected within 60 days after fiscal year-end. Investment income is susceptible to accrual. Other receipts and tax revenues become measurable and available when the cash is received and are recognized as revenue at that time. Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria is met. Expenditure driven grants recognize revenue when the qualifying expenditures are incurred and all other grant requirements are met. The following major governmental funds are reported: The general fund is the primary operating fund. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund. The nonmajor governmental funds consist of other special revenue, capital projects and permanent funds that are aggregated and presented in the nonmajor governmental funds column on the governmental funds financial statements. The following describes the general use of these fund types: The special revenue fund is used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than permanent funds or capital projects funds) that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for specified purposes. The capital projects fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by enterprise and trust funds). The permanent fund is used to account for financial resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, not principal, may be used for purposes that support the governmental programs. Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the liabilities are incurred. 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.

The Nantucket Islands Land Bank enterprise fund is used to account for the activity of the Nantucket Islands Land Bank. Fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting. Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held in a trustee capacity for others that cannot be used to support the governmental programs. The following fiduciary fund types are reported: The private-purpose trust fund is used to account for trust arrangements, other than those properly reported in the pension trust fund or permanent fund, under which principal and investment income exclusively benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments. The agency fund is used to account for assets held in a purely custodial capacity.

Boat excise taxes are assessed annually for each boat registered and are recorded as receivables in the fiscal year of the levy. The Commonwealth is responsible for reporting the number of boats registered and the fair value of those boats.

Since the Town is legally obligated for the total amount of the debt, such amounts have been reported in the accompanying basic financial statements. The fiscal year 2008 principal and interest subsidies totaled approximately $97,000 and $425,000, respectively. The Land Bank’s notes payable are with various entities and bear interest at 6.063%.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 55 Basic Financial Statements NOTE 8 – RISK FINANCING The Town 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 is self-insured for its health insurance and workers’ compensation activities. These activities are accounted for in the internal service fund where revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred. (a) Health Insurance The estimate of Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims is based on a three month claims paid average. At June 30, 2008, the amount of the liability for health insurance claims totaled $710,419. This liability is the best estimate based on available information. Changes in the reported liability since July 1, 2006, are as follows: Current Year Balance at Claims and Balance at Beginning of Changes in Claims Fiscal Fiscal Year Estimate Payments Year-End Fiscal Year 2007………..$ 639,480 $ 10,706,881 $ (10,674,083) $ 672,278 Fiscal Year 2008……….. 672,278 8,198,903 (8,160,762) 710,419 (b) Workers’ Compensation Workers’ compensation claims are administered by a third party administrator and are funded on a pay- as-you-go basis from a trust fund for workers compensation. Annual appropriations are made to add to the trust fund. The estimated future workers’ compensation liability is based on history and injury type. At June 30, 2008, the amount of the liability for workers’ compensation claims totaled $94,336. This liability is the Town’s best estimate based on available information. Changes in the reported liability since July 1, 2006, are as follows: Current Year Balance at Claims and Balance at Beginning of Changes in Claims Fiscal Fiscal Year Estimate Payments Year-End Fiscal Year 2007………..$ 48,306 $ 281,898 $ (185,530) $ 144,674 Fiscal Year 2008……….. 144,674 312,975 (363,313) 94,336 Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 56 Basic Financial Statements NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN Plan Description - The Town and the County contribute to the Barnstable County Retirement Association (the System), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Barnstable County Retirement Board. Substantially all employees of both the Town and County are members of the System, except for public school teachers and certain administrators who are members of the Massachusetts Teachers Retirement System, to which the Town does not contribute. Pension benefits and administrative expenses paid by the Teachers Retirement Board are the legal responsibility of the Commonwealth. The amount of these on- behalf payments totaled approximately $1,370,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, and, accordingly, are reported in the general fund as intergovernmental revenues and pension expenditures. 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 Town and County are 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. Administrative expenses are funded through investment earnings. Chapter 32 of the MGL governs the contributions of plan members and the Town. The Town’s contributions to the System for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 totaled $2,761,460, $3,058,753, and $3,346,353 respectively, which equaled its required contributions for each fiscal year. The County’s contribution to the System for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 were $112,420, $128,612 and $138,012 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 basic 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 basic financial statements, presents multiyear trend information for required and actual contributions relating to the cost-sharing plan as a whole, of the Town is one participating employer, as well as the Town’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 Town. NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS Construction Contracts: The Town has a contract with Carlin Contracting for the Surfside Waste Water Treatment Facility upgrade and expansion. At year end, the open contract totaled approximately $12,740,000. The Town has a contract with Skanska USA Building, Inc. for construction of the new airport terminal.

At year end, open contracts totaled approximately $8,400,000. The Town has contracts with C. C. Construction for sewer pipe and stormwater drainage construction.

The Town is charged by tonnage, with annual increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Some fixed costs, fixed asset investments, and reimbursable expenses (transportation, disposal of construction and demolition waste) are charged to the Town. In Fiscal Year 2008, the contract resulted in annual payments of approximately $8,500,000. The Town has entered into various contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield for administration of the Town’s self- funded medical insurance program, and for supplementary insurance for employees or retirees who are covered by Medicare insurance. The contract resulted in annual payments of approximately $7,490,000 in Fiscal Year 2008, which includes reimbursement payments for direct medical care, hospitalization, and prescriptions. The administrative cost portion of the contract is based on a monthly fee per enrolled member. NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCIES The Town 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, 2008, these programs are still subject to financial and compliance audits. The amount, if any, of expenditures which 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, 2008, cannot be ascertained, management believes any resulting liability should not materially affect the financial position at June 30, 2008.

Barnstable County Contributory Retirement System Schedule of Employer Contributions System Wide Town of Nantucket Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 63 Required Supplementary Information Notes to Required Supplementary Information Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 64 Required Supplementary Information NOTE A – BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Notes to Required Supplementary Information 1. Budgetary Information Municipal Law requires the adoption of a balanced budget. The Town’s Finance Committee (Committee) presents an annual budget to the Annual Town Meeting for adoption. Increases or decreases to the originally adopted budget require approval at a Special Town Meeting. Transfers between and within departments subsequent to the approval of the annual budget typically require approval at a Special Town Meeting. The majority of appropriations are non-continuing which lapse at the end of each fiscal year. Others are continuing appropriations for which the governing body has authorized that an unspent balance from a prior fiscal year be carried forward and made available for spending in the current fiscal year. These carry forwards are included as part of the subsequent fiscal year’s original budget. Generally, expenditures may not exceed the legal level of spending (salaries, expenses and capital) authorized for an appropriation account. However, the payment of debt service is statutorily required, regardless of whether such amounts are appropriated. Additionally, expenditures for disasters, natural or otherwise, and final judgments may exceed the level of spending authorized by two-thirds majority vote of the Committee. An annual budget is adopted for the general fund in conformity with the guidelines described above. The Town’s original fiscal year 2008 budget includes $74,168,375in appropriations and other amounts to be raised and $1,689,093 in amounts carried forward from the previous fiscal year. During fiscal year 2008, the Town’s budget was increased by $127,214.which includes subsequent appropriations as well as the use of available funds to finance a legal settlement. The Town Accountant’s office has the responsibility to ensure that budgetary control is maintained. Budgetary control is exercised through the accounting system. 2. Budgetary - GAAP Reconciliation For budgetary financial reporting purposes, the Uniform Municipal Accounting System basis of accounting (established by the Commonwealth) is followed, which differs from the GAAP basis of accounting. A reconciliation of budgetary-basis to GAAP-basis results for the general fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, is presented below: Net change in fund balance - budgetary basis…………………$ 972,222 Basis of accounting differences: Recognition of revenue based on available criteria…………… (239,163) Accrued expenditures…………………………………………… (634,971) Accrued payroll…………………….……………………………… 542,318 Recognition of bond proceeds received from MWPAT……… 15,175,978 Capital transfer of bond proceeds to the Sewer Enterprise… (15,175,978) Recognition of revenue for on-behalf payments……………… 1,370,000 Recognition of expenditures for on-behalf payments………… (1,370,000) Net change in fund balance - GAAP basis………………………$ 640,406 Notes to Required Supplementary Information Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 65 Required Supplementary Information NOTE B – PENSION PLAN The Town and the County contribute to the Barnstable County Retirement Association (“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 Town and County are 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 basic financial statements, presented 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 basic financial statements, presents multiyear trend information for required and actual contributions relating to the cost-sharing plan as a whole, of which the Town is one participating employer, as well as the Town’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 Town. 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, 2007 Actuarial Cost Method……………………………………… Entry Age Normal Cost Method Amortization Method…………………………………………Increasing at 4.50% per year Incentive, 21 years from July 1, 2007 for 2002 and 2003 Early Retirement Incentives and remaining unfunded liability Asset Valuation Method………………………………………5-year smoothing of investment returns greater (less) than expected.
