INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of School Directors
South Middleton School District
Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the South Middleton School
District, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the School District's 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. 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.
As explained in Note 1 to the general purpose financial statements, the School District has recorded
General Fixed Assets at values as determined by a Commercial Insurance Company Report. Under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, General Fixed Assets should be
recorded at cost.
In our opinion, except for the departure from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America described in the preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the South Middleton School District, as of June 30,
2001, and the results of its operations and cash flow of its proprietary fund type for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of
the South Middleton School District taken as a whole. The statement listed as supplementary information
in the table of contents is presented for additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements of the South Middleton School District. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting EntiW:
The South Middleton School District complies with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP). Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reporting entity include (1) the
primary government, (2) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable
and (3) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the
primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements
to be misleading or incomplete. The criteria provided in Government Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 14 has been considered below.
The School District is affiliated with the Cumberland/Perry Area Vocational-Technical School and
eleven member school districts. The School District is also affiliated with the Harrisburg Area
Community College (HACC). The member school districts participate in providing oversight
responsibility to the Cumberland/Perry Area Vocational-Technical School and HACC through the
following:
Appointment of Board members who are also Board members of the participating schools.
Approval and funding of operating budgets.
See additional information regarding payments to the Vo-Tech School in Note 10.
Despite the foregoing, the overriding issue is that the volume of participating school districts does
not permit South Middleton School District to exercise "significant influence" over the operations of
the Cumberland/Perry Area Vocational-Technical School and HACC. Consequently, the
Cumberland/Perry Area Vocational-Technical School and HACC are not considered "component
units" of the South Middleton School District in determining the "reporting entity" as required by
Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting:
The accounts of the School District are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of
which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for
with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenue and expenditures or expenses. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in
individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which
spending activities are controlled. The various funds are summarized by type in the financial
statements. The following fund types and account groups are used by the School District:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting (Continued):
Governmental Fund Types:
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the School District
are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the School District's expendable financial
resources and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in Proprietary Funds) are
accounted for through Governmental Funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of
changes in financial resources, rather than upon net income determination.
Governmental Funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for all financial transactions not accounted for in
another fund. Revenue is primarily derived from local property, earned income tax, per
capita and occupational taxes, and state and federal distributions. Many of the more
important activities of the School District, including instruction, administration of the School
District and certain noninstructional services are accounted for in this fund.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for specific governmental revenue (other than
major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
The Athletic Fund is authorized by Section 511 of the Public School Code of 1949 to account
for the revenue and expenditures of athletic activities.
The Capital Reserve Fund (Section 2932 is authorized by P.L. 145, Act of April 30, 1943,
known as Section 2932 School Laws of Pennsylvania) accounts for (1) monies transferred
during any fiscal year from appropriations made for any particular purpose which may not be
needed, and (2) surplus monies in the General Fund of the School District at the end of any
fiscal year. This fund is included in the financial statements as a Special Revenue Fund.
Debt Service Fund
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for and payment of
general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting (Continued):
Governmental Funds (Continued):
Capital Projects Fund
This fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities.
Proprietary Fund Types:
Proprietary Funds are used to account for the School District's on-going activities which are
similar to those often found in the private sector. The measurement focus is upon determination
of net income and capital maintenance.
PropfietargFund:
Enterprise Fund
The Cafeteria Fund accounts for all revenue and expenses pertaining to cafeteria operations
since such operations are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business
enterprise. It is the intent of the governing body that the cost of providing such goods or
services to the students on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges or cost reimbursement plans.
Fiduciary Fund Types:
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the School District in a trustee capacity or
as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units and/or other funds.
Trust and Agency Funds
Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the School District in a trustee
capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units and/or
other funds. The expendable trust fund accounts for assets where both the principal and
interest may be spent. These assets are scholarship monies received and administered by the
District. Agency funds include a central payroll account and activity fund.
The Activity Fund accounts for thc monies authorized by Section 511 of the Public School
Code of 1949 for school publications and organizations. A portion of the Activity Fund is an
Agency Fund which is separate from other Agency Funds because of legal requirements.
16
SOUTH MIDDLETON SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summar3~ of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting (Continued):
Account Groups:
General Fixed Assets Account Group - This account group is used to record all property, plant and
equipment of the School District except that which is accounted for in the Enterprise Fund.
General Long-Term Debt Account Group - This account group presents principally the balance of
long-term debt which is backed by the full faith and credit of the School District. Long-term debt
accounted for in the Enterprise Fund is excluded.
Basis of Accounting:
The South Middleton School District's reporting entity applies all relevant Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. Proprietary funds apply Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board (APB)
opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs) of the Committee on Accounting Procedure
issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict
GASB pronouncements, in which case, GASB prevails.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements.
All Governmental Funds utilize the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method,
revenue is recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. "Available"
means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. Such
revenue items, which are accrued in the year to which they apply, are principally property taxes and
inter-governmental revenue.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the
related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include principal and interest on
general long-term debt which is recognized when due. Disbursements for inventory-type items and
prepaid expenses are considered expenditures at the time of purchase.
17
SOUTH MIDDLETON SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Accounting (Continued):
The Cafeteria Fund uses the Pennsylvania Department of Education-prescribed "modified enterprise
fund" method of accounting. Under this full accrual method of accounting:
Furniture and equipment utilized by the Cafeteria Fund is recorded as fixed assets of that Fund
(at cost), and is depreciated therein on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 12
years. The fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation, are a component of retained earnings.
Donated commodities received by the Cafeteria Fund are inventoried at estimated cost to
purchase comparable products locally or at cost figures provided by thc Federal Government if
comparable products are not locally available.
Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out basis; remainder inventories at year-end are a
component of retained earnings.
The School District does not attempt to allocate "building-wide costs" to the Cafeteria Fund. Thus,
General Fund expenditures which partially benefit the Cafeteria Fund (utilities, janitorial services,
insurance, etc.) are not proportionately recognized within the Cafeteria Fund; similarly, the Cafeteria
Fund does not recognize a cost for the building space it occupies (no rental-of-facilities expense).
Agency and Trust Funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve
measurement of results of operations. Agency Funds, except for the Activity Fund and the Trust
Fund, are also accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The Activity Fund records transactions using the cash basis of accounting. This basis does not differ
significantly from the modified accrual basis.
Use of Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported revenue
and expenditures.

Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting:
The School District adopts a budget for the General Fund. This is the only Fund which is legally
adopted by thc School District.
The budget is maintained on a modified accrual basis by function and object, with expenditures
controlled by line item. Appropriations lapse at the end of each year and must be reappropriated.
The School Board approves budget transfers between departments within School District Funds.
Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the School Board at various times.
General Fixed Assets: General fixed assets, land; consisting of buildings, furniture and equipment, are
recorded at values as determined by a Commercial Insurance Company Report dated October 31, 1998.
Generally accepted accounting principles require General Fixed Assets to be recorded at cost. Original
purchase and replacement equipment is charged to the appropriate General Fund expenditure account as
prescribed by the Department of Education. No depreciation has been provided for General Fixed Assets.
General Long-Term Debt:
The General Long-Term Debt Account Group consists off
1. Outstanding General Obligation Bonds - Series of 1991 issued on June 6, 1991.
2. Outstanding General Obligation Bonds - Series A of 1994 - Capital Appreciation Bonds issued
on April 6, 1994.
3. Outstanding General Obligation Bonds - Series of 1996 issued on April 15, 1996.
4. Outstanding General Obligation Bonds - Series of 1997 issued on October 1, 1997.
5. Outstanding General Obligation Bonds - Series of 1998 issued on March 1, 1998.
6. G.E. Capital Note.
7. Sick leave payable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash equivalents include time
deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less.
Inventories: Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (F1FO) method. The costs of
governmental fund-type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when
purchased.

Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Accrued Sick Leave: Under terms of the School District's employment agreements, employees are
granted 10 sick days per school year and any unused sick days are permitted to be carried over to future
years. Upon retirement from the School District, employees are reimbursed for 50 percent of their
accumulated sick days multiplied by the existing daily substitute teacher rate. In the General Fund, only
the current portion of the liability is reported. The long term portion of the liability is reported in the
