The District has recently moved their administrative offices from 4622 Plumosa Drive, Yorba Linda, CA 92885 to 1717 E. Miraloma Avenue, Placentia, CA 92870 in April 2008. A new District Headquarters building now provides the much needed room for the administrative staff, it also puts administration and operations on the same campus. District Structure and Leadership The Yorba Linda Water District is an independent special district, which operates under the authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code. The Yorba Linda Water District has been providing water and sewer services to the residents of the City of Yorba Linda and surrounding communities since 1959. The District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors, elected 0 at-large from within the District's service area. The General Manager administers the day-to-day operations of the District in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of • Directors. The Yorba Linda Water District employs a full-time staff of 78 employees. The District's Board of Directors meets on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Meetings are publicly noticed and citizens are encouraged to attend. The District provides water, sewer or a combination of both services to residents and businesses within its service area. The service area lies within most of the City of Yorba Linda and portions of the cities of Anaheim, Brea, and Placentia. The District includes approximately 14,475 acres of land comprising 22.6 square miles. The District serves a population of approximately 75,000 and currently provides service to approximately 23,600 residential, commercial, and agricultural connections. District Services Residential customers are approximately 92% of the District's customer base and consume approximately 72% of the water provided annually by the District. The District obtains about half of its water supply from the Municipal Water District -t Orange County and is supplemented by groundwater wells within the area. In 208 and 2107, the District provided 24,633 and 25,657 acre-feet of water, respectively. Economic Condition and Outlook The District's administrative offices are located in the City of Placentia in Orange County. The economic outlook for the area is one of veryft growth, which is projected to continue through 2009 because of the ongoing financial crisis 6W ffiii istressed'*ousing market. California's water supply continues to-be a concern 'due to "projected population increases and drought conditions. This concern gas increased #'ocus on the need for conservation as well as • more efficient irrigation methods and sysbeins In June 2008, the Governor is~ed Executive girder S-06-08 declaring a statewide drought, which directed his state agencies aril departments, including the California Department of Water Resources, to take impiediate action tc~ address the serious drought conditions and water delivery reductions that existan California The Yorba Linda Wa >)istrict,s Board of Directors voted on June 26, 2008 to approve a Water Conservation Resolution fiat asks all customers within its service area to voluntarily reduce their daily water usage by ten percent. The resolution is in response to California's drought conditions, and outlines additional steps that the District will be taking to further educate customers on ways to conserve. The conservation request is currently voluntary in nature, but if water supplies continue to be restrained and. voluntary reductions do not occur, mandatory conservation may be implemented as outlined in the District's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan. In September 2008, the Department of Water Resources established a Drought Water Bank, which will purchase water from willing sellers primarily north of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Delta. This water will then be transferred to areas in southern California that are at risk of experiencing water shortages next summer. 2 0 f Water Conservation Recommendations • Some ways residential customers can reduce their water use by ten percent voluntary conservation include: • Watering lawns one less day each week; • Turning off water when not needed - while brushing teeth, while soaping up in the shower, etc.; • Washing your car at a commercial car wash which must recycle its water; • Running dishwashers only when full and washers on the appropriate water setting, and • Repairing all leaky facets and toilets. Conservation education incentives outlined in the Water Proclamation include: • Providing table-top placards to restaurants, informing cussto_ that water will only be served if requested; • Working with the Placentia-Yorba Unified School' District provide added water education programs; • Working with local hotels to request long-term"'=~uestsmuse towels and bed linens; and • Encouraging customers to take advantage of rebates for certain conservation products. The current water conservation programs- that the if ct is sponsoring are outline below and as new programs become available they;. can be. found on the District's website (www.vlwd.com) under the tab at the top>of page eitled "Conservation". • Water Conservation Programs The District has implemented conservation management practices since the late 1980's. District staff participates in community events and distributes materials to encourage water conservation. The District offers the following conservation programs: • Smart Titer 1rrigati6*j andscape Controller • High Efficiency Clothes-."Washers • High Efficiency Toilets • Synthetic Turf Major Initiatives The activities of the Board and staff of the District are driven by its Mission Statement: "To provide reliable, high quality water and sewer services in an environmentally responsible manner at the most economical cost to our customers." L To supply clean, wholesome water to the community and provide water for the future. 2. To plan, construct, operate, maintain and upgrade the water system facilities to adequately serve customer needs. 3.

To review and maintain a plan to be proactive in preventative maintenance of the District's water and sewer systems. All programs and operations of the District are developed and performed to provide the highest level of services to its customers. Internal Control Structure District management is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the internal control structure that ensures the assets of the District are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure also ensures adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally aq `f ted accounting principles. The District's internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recQ, -:that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and 'the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Budgetary Control The District Board of Directors adopts an operating aW"! capital budget every two-years. The budget authorizes and provides the basis for,reporting and.ontrol of financial operations and accountability for the District's enterprise operations and `capital projects. The budget and reporting treatment applied to the District is co' sistent with: he accrual basis of accounting and the financial statement basis. • Investment Policy The Board of Directors has adopted.= investment policy that conforms to state law, District ordinance and resolutionsprudert ii►oney management, and the "prudent person" standards. The objective of the Investment Policy ts. safety, liquidity and yield. Water and Sewer Rates and District policy directiou;.ensures gat all revenues from user charges and surcharges generated from District customers 3riust sztpport all District operations including capital project funding. Accordingly, water and se-we' rates are reviewed periodically. Water rates are user charges imposed on customers for services and are the primary component of the District's revenue. Water rates are composed of a commodity (usage) charge and a fixed (readiness-to-serve) charge. Sewer rates are composed of a fixed charge for typical residential usage and a commercial rate based on proportionate water usage. Audit and Financial Reporting State Law and Bond covenants require the District to obtain an annual audit of its financial statements by an independent certified public accountant. The accounting firm of Diehl, Evans & Company, LLP has conducted the audit of the District's financial statements. Their unqualified Independent Auditor's Report appears in the Financial Section. 4 • Risk Management • The District is a member of the Association of California Water Agencies Joint Power Insurance Authority (Authority).

The Statement of Net Assets, Statement in Net Assets and Statement of Cash Flows provide information of the District using accounting methods similar to those used by The District's statements consist of four funds, the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund, Improvement District No. 1, and Improvement District No. 2. The District's records are maintained on an enterprise basis, as it is the intent of the Board of Directors that the costs of providing water and sewer to the customer of the District are financed primarily through user charges. 0 See independent auditors' report. -9- YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT , MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) For the year ended June 30, 2008 • Required Financial Statements (Continued) The Statement of Net Assets includes all of the District's investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to creditors (liabilities). It also provides the basis for computing a rate of return, evaluating the capital structure of the District and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the District. All of the current year's revenue and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. This statement measures the success of the District's operations over the past year and can be used to determine if the District has successfully recovered all of its costs through its rates and other charges. This statement can also be used to evaluate profitability and credit worthiness. The final required financial statement is the Statem'=bf Cash Flows, which provides information about the District's cash receipts and cash payme.sits durfng the reporting period. The Statement of Cash Flows reports cash receipts, cash payments and net chattges in cash resulting from operations, investing, non-capital financing, and capital and related financii activities and provides answers to such questions as where did cash come from;: what .;was cash used for, and what was the change in cash balance during the reporting period. Financial Analysis of the District One of the most important questions asked:;about the Distnet's finances is, "Is the District better off or worse off as a result of this years.atwrties?" TheStatement of Net Assets and the Statement of • Revenues, Expenses and Changes iii Net Assets report information about the District in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private sector companies. All of the current year's revenues ancl -xpeO'_ +es are taken into account regardless of when the cash is received or paid. These two statements report the District's net assets and changes in them. You can think. of the District's net assets (the difference between assets and liabilities), as one way to measure the District's financial health, or financial poiYton. Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. However, one will need to consider other non-financial factors such as changes in economic conditions, population growth, zoning and new or changed government legislation, such as changes in Federal and State water quality standards. See independent auditors' report. • -10- YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) S For the year ended June 30, 2008 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the basic financial statements.

However, as discussed below, we control over financial reporting that we consider to significant A control deficiency 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 misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the District's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the District's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the District's internal control. We consider the deficiency described below to be significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting. -55- • Internal Control Over Financial Renortine (Continued). Capital Assets Svstem A comprehensive capital asset accountability system could provide the District valuable benefits such • as asset procurement, construction and utilization management, loss control and theft prevention, and responsible asset stewardship. Currently, the District manages its capital asset construction-in-process projects in various spreadsheets and a manual ledger system and not in a comprehensive capital asset accountability system We recommend that the District acquire a comprehensive capital asset accountability system so that capital asset construction-in-process additions and deletions can. be entered into the system on an. ongoing basis as soon as they occur and not in a manual ledger system. This will allow the District to maintain updated and accurate general ledger balances of capital assets, will automate the depreciation expense calculations and will provide management with other useful capital asset information A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of.s ~ iificant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of ~ancial statements will not be prevented or detected by the District's internal control. Our consideration of the internal control over financial retorting was for the Iited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify. , 'deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would pat disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses However, we believe that the significant deficiency described above is not a material weakness. Compliance and Other Matters As part • of obtaining reasonable assurance aboul_whAer the Districts financial statements are free of material misstatements, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant ag>pents, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination. of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those-,pr visions was- not a <nbjective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The cults of our tSts disclosed an instance of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported. nder Government Auditing Standards. Compliance with Investment On October 27, 2005, the District adopted resolution 05-11 setting forth the public funds investment policy for the District. The resolution details the types of investments that the District is permitted to invest in. At June 30, 2008 and throughout the fiscal year, the District had investments in mutual funds. Government Code Section 53601 allows local agencies to invest in mutual funds. However, the District's investment policy does not specifically list mutual funds as a permitted investment.

An email from the SEC's Office of 'Municipal Securities initially indicated that no ;Material Event Notice needed to be filed due to the widespread press coverage regarding downgraded bond insurers. However, On February 7, 2008, SEC staff provided guidance on downgrades of insured bonds to the National Association of Bond Lawyers which indicated that specific action may be necessary including the filing of a Material Event Notice involving a change in rating to any of the bond insurers. Based on a remark made recently by a SEC staff attorney, issuers of municipal securities should, in his opinion, file :Material Event Notices when ratings on their municipal securities are downgraded, even if the rating agencies are not formally notifying Issuers of such downgrades. Action should be based on the requirements set forth in the continuing disclosure document pertaining to a specific municipal security. After discussion with numerous bond counsels, the most prudent course of action may be to proceed with a Material Event Notification for municipal securities insured by downgraded bond insurers. Npp!icd licst Practiccs, a subsidiary of Fieldman, Rolapp & .-Associates, provides assistance in the preparation and filing of material event notices and continuing disclosure annual reports. We have been assisting many of our clients in preparing notices regarding these specific downgrades to ensure full disclosure to the secondary marketplace and compliance with continuing disclosure requirements. If we can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to call us and ask for Joshua Lentz (949-660-7320 direct). 02008 Apphed Best Practices, LLC. 19900 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 111111 • Irvine, CA 92612 • phone: 949.660.7300 • Fax: 949.474.8773 September 20, 2008 Board of Directors Yorba Linda Water District Placentia, California We have audited the financial statements of the Yorba Linda Waster District for the year ended June 30, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated September 20, 2008. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit. Our Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America: As stated in our engagement letter dated March 27, 2008, ;our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted' in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the Yorba Linda Water District. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance: concerning such internal control. We are responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures specifically to identify such matters. Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit: We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated to you in our meeting about planning matters on July 7, 2008. Significant Audit Findings: Oualitative Aspects of Accountin! Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Yorba Linda Water District are described in Note 2 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year ended June 30, 2008. We noted no transactions entered into by the Yorba Linda Water District during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements in a different period than when the transaction occurred. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that. future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were: a. Management's estimate of the fair market value of investments which is based on market values by outside sources. b. The estimated useful lives for capital assets which.are'based on industry standards. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining that they were reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken .s a.whole. Difficulties Encountered in Performjng the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties.in dealing_with management in performing and completing our audit. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those `:that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. The following material misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures were corrected by management: a. Generally accepted accounting principles requires interest paid on funds borrowed to finance the costs of capital assets to capitalized as part of the cost . For tax-exempt borrowings, interest paid less any interest earned on temporary investments of proceeds of the borrowing is required to be capitalized as part of the capital asset. For the current fiscal year, construction in progress was understated and interest expense was overstated as the District did not capitalize interest attributable to the capital assets under construction. -2- Significant Audit Findings (Continued): Disaa-reements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Management Renresentations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated September 20 2008. Management Consultations with Other Indenendent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on c involves application of an accounting principle to the Yorba statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion statements. our professional standards require the consulting accour that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, thei other accountants. Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of auditing standards, with managemei auditors.
