The Honorable Mayor and Members ofthe Board of Aldermen Town of Pollock, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying financial statements ofthe govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Pollock, as ofand for the year ended December 31, 2010, which collectively comprise the Tovm's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These basic financial statements are the responsibility of tlie Town of Pollock's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in tlie United States of America and the standards applicable to fmancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards., issued by tlie Comptroller General ofthe United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial siatements are firee of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statemenls. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall fmancial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund ofthe Town of Pollock, as of December 31,2010, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison infonnation listed in the accompanying table of contents are not a required part of die financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board.

In accordance with Governnnni Auditing Standards^ we have also issued a report dated June 26, 2011, on our consideration of Pollock's intemal control over financial reporting and our tests of iis compliance vWth certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants.

Town o f Pol lock Management's Discussion A n d Analysis December 3 1 , 2010
This section ofthe Town of Pollock's annual financial report presents our discussion and analysis of the Tovm's financial performance during the fiscal yearended December 31, 2010.
OVERVTEW OF FINANCIAL STATFMF.NTS The basic financial statements include govemment-wide financial statements and fund financial statements. These two types of financial statements present the Town's financial position and results of operations fi'om differing perspectives which are described as follows:
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The govemment-wide financial statements report information about the Town as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. These report all revenues and expenses regardless of when cash is received or paid. Furthermore, the govemment-wide statements include all ofthe Town's assets (including infirastructure acquired after January 1, 2004) and all of the Town's liabilities (including long-term debt).
The govermnent-wide financial statements are divided into two categories, which are described as foUows:
• Governmental Activities — Expenses incurred in connection with providing basic services including public safety, sanitation and general administration are reported as govemmental activities. The govemmental activities are financed by taxes, license and permit fees, intergovemmental sources, and utility franchise arrangements.
• Business-Type Activities - Expenses associated with providing utility services and operating tlie municipal airport are recovered tiirough fees paid by the customers that utilize tiiese services. These activities are operated in a manner similar to commercial enterprises. Accordingly, activities associated with these services are reported as business type activities.
FUND FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
Fund financial statements provide detailed information regarding the Town's most significant activities and are not intended to provide infonnation for tlie Town as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that are used to account for specific sources offimds. The Town has two types of funds that are described as follows:
• Governmental Funds - These funds are used to account for essentially the same fiinctions that are reported as govemmental activities in the govemment-wide financial statements. However, unlike govemment-wide financial statements, the govemmental fimds use a modified accrual basis of accounfing that provides a short-term view of the Town's finances. Assets reported by govemmental fiinds are limited to amounts that are available for current needs. In addifion, liabilities are limited to amounts tliat are expected to be paid firom currently available assets.

Town o f Pol lock Management's Discussion A n d Analysis December 3 1 , 2010
• Proprietary Fund - These fimds are used to account for activities that fiinction in a manner similar to commercial enterprises. Proprietary fimd financial statements typically provide a more detail presentation of the informafion reported in tlie business-type activifies portion ofthe government-wide financial statements.

As the presentation appearing above demonstrates, the largest portion of the Tovm's net assets (83.8%) are invested in capital assets. Net assets invested in capital assets consist of land, buildings, equipment, and any infrastructure acquired afier December 31, 2003 less any debt used to acquire the assets that remains outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to its cifizens; consequently, tiiese amounts ai"e not available for future spending.
An additional portion ofthe net assets (11%) represent resources that are subject to restrictions that are imposed by agreements with the Town's bondholders or requirements imposed by various revenue sources. The remaining unrestricted net assets (5.2%) may be used to meet the Town's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

TOWN OF POLLOCK, LOUISIANA Notes To Financia i Statements December 3 1 , 2010
NOTE 1 • SUMMARY OF SIGNTFICANT ACrOITNTINC POTJCTES
The Town of Pollock, Louisiana (the Town) was incorporated under the provisions of Louisiana Law. The Town is governed by its Mayor and a Board of AJdermen consisting of five members. Services provided to the citizens of Pollock include but are not limited to public safety (police and fire protection), streets, sanitation, water utility service, sewer utility service, and operation of a municipal airport.
The Town's accounting polices conform to generally accepted accounting principals for governmental units. The preparation of fmancial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions tliat affect certain reported amounts and disclosiures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some ofthe Town's more significant accounting polices are described as follows:
FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
As the municipal governing authority, for reporting purposes, the Town is considered a separate financial reporting entity. The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government (the Town), (b) organizations for which the primary govermnent is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of tiieir relationsliip with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Govemmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14 established criteria for determining which component units should be considered part ofthe Town of Pollock for financial reporting purposes. The basic criterion for including a potential component unit wthin the reporting entity is financial accountability. The GASB has set fortii criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include:
1. Appointing a voting majority of an organization's goveming body, and
a) The ability ofthe Town to impose its will on that organization and/or
b) The potential for the organization to provide specific financia! benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the Town.
2. Organizations for which the Town does not appoint a voting majority but are fiscally dependent on the Town.
3. Organizations for which the reporting entity financial statements would be misleading if data oftiie organization is not included because ofthe nature or significance ofthe relationship.
Based upon application of these criteria, there were no potential component units and all of the Tovm's activities were included in tlie primary govemment reporting entity.

TOWN OF POLLOCK, LOUISIANA Notes To Financia i Statements December 3 1 , 2010
BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The basic financial statements include both govemment-wide and ftmd financial statements. Both govemment-wide and fund financial statements categorize activities as eitlier govemmental activities or business-type activities, which are described as follows:
• Govemmental activities involve govemment services that are normally supported by taxes and intergovemmental revenues.
• Business-type activities rely on fees and charges for support and operate in a manner similar to private sector enterprises. Since proprietary funds operate in a manner similar to business enterprises, these funds follow certain pronouncements that are developed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for business enterprises. However, the Town only applies those FASB pronouncements that were issued on or before November 30,1989.
The govemment-wide and fiind financial statements present tlie Town's financial position and results of operations from differing perspectives which are described as follows:
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Statement ofNet Assets and the Statement ofActivities display information about the Town as a whole. The effect of most interfimd activity is eliminated fi-om these financial statements. Furthermore, govemment-wide fmancial statements exclude any fiduciary activities which are reported in the fund financial statements.
Program revenues reported in the Statement of Activities consist of amounts tliat are directly associated with a govemmental service or business-type activity. Program revenues include charges for services, fines, court cost, contributions associated with a particular function and most grants.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Funds are separate accounting entities that are designed to assist with demonstrating legal compliance and segregating transactions by activity. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and business-type (enterprise) funds. In addition, separate financial statements are presented for any fiduciary activities. Major individual funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. The Town's major funds are described as follows:
MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund - The general fund is the primary operating fiind. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fiind.
Canital Outlav - The capital outlay fund is a capital project fund used to account for construction projects conducted with funds provided by the State's capital outlay program.
MAJOR BUSINESS-TYPE FUNDS
Utility Svstem - The utility system fimd is used to account for the operation of the Town's water and sewer system, which is supported by user charges.

TOWN OF POLLOCK, LOUISIANA
Notes To Financial Siatements December 31, 2010
Municipal Airport - The Municipal Airport Fund is used to accoimt for the operation of the Town's airport, wliich is supported by revenue generated from the Airport and surrounding property.
Business-Type fiinds disfinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in connection witli the funds ongoing operations. Principal operating revenues are charges to customers for water and sewer service.
BASIS O F ACCOUNTING AND MEASUREMENT FOCUS
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financiai stateinents. Basis of accounting relates to the timing ofthe measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The basis of accounting and measurement focus used for various financial statement presentations are described as follows:
Financial Statement PresentntJon Basis of Accounting Measurement Focus Govemment-Wide Financial Statements Accrual Basis Economic Resources Fund Financial Statements:
Govemmental Funds Modified Accrual Basis Current Financial Resources Proprietary Funds Accrual Basis Economic Resources Fiduciary Funds Accrual Bf is Economic Resources
Under the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred.
Under the modified accmal basis of account and the currenl financial resources measure focus revenue Is recognized when it is considered measurable and available. Revenue is considered available if it is collected within 60 days of year end or if it is due under a cost reimbursement arrangement. In addition, expenses are generally recorded when a liability has been incurred; however, debt service, claims and judgments are recorded as expenses when payment is made. Furthennore, when the current financial resources measure focus is used, amounts recorded as assets exclude capital assets and the acquisition of capital assets is treated as an expenditure. In addition, long-term debts are excluded from amounts reported as liabilities. Proceeds from issuing long-term debt are reported as an other financing source and repayment of long-term debt is reported as an expenditure.
BUDGETARY CONTROL
The Mayor prepares an annual budget for the Town's general fund. This budget is submitted to the Board of Aldermen and an approved budget is adopted before the beginning of each fiscal year. Amended budgets are prepared prior to the conclusion of each fiscal year. The amended budgets are prepared and approved in the same manner as the original budget.
The general fimd budget presents revenue and expenditures on a basis which is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. No annual budget is required for the Tovm's Utility Fund.

TOWN OF POLLOCK, LOUISIANA Notes To Financia i Statements December 3 1 , 2010
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents (restricted and unrestricted) include all cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, certificates of deposit and highly liquid investments. Credit risk associated with bank deposits is limited by requiring fiscal agent banks to pledge securities as required by Stale Law. Furthermore, hiterest rate risk associated witli certificates of deposits is typically mitigated by purchasing instruments that matiure in one year or less.
INTERNAL ACTIVITY:
Interfund transactions are reported as operating transfers when the recipient fund is not expected to provide repayment. Transacfions tliat are expected to result in repayment are reported as interftind receivables and payables. Any interfund receivables and payables that are not expected to be repaid with one year are classified as advances.
In preparing the govemment-wide fmancial statements, internal acfivity is eliminated to present net amounts for governmental acfivities and business-type activities.
RESTRICTED ASSETS:
Restricted assets represent resources that must be expended in a specific manner. Restrictions of this nature are imposed by various contractual obligations including grant agreements and bond covenants. Whenever restricted assets can be used to satisfy an obligation, the restricted assets are typically consumed before utilizing any unrestricted resources.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, equipment and infrastructure acquired after December 31, 2003, are reported as assets in the applicable governmental or business-type columns in the govemmenl-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for proprietary funds. Assets reported in the fund financial statements for governmental funds exclude capital assets. Instead, the governmental funds report the acquisition of capital assets as expenditures rather than asset acquisitions.
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or esfimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value when received by the Town, Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. Useful lives are selected depending on the expected durability ofthe particular asset.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES
The Town does not accumulate unpaid vacation, sick pay, and other employee benefit amounts because employees are not allowed to carry over significant amounts.
NOTE 2 - CASH ANT) CASH EOTJTVALENTS
Deposits are staled at cost, which approxunates market. Under state law, deposits must be secured by federal deposit insurance or the pledge of securities owned by die fiscal agent bank.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLUNCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCUL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
June 26.2011 The Honorable Mayor and
Members ofthe Board of Aldermen Town of Pollock, Louisiana
We have audited the financial statements ofthe govemmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fimd ofthe Town of Pollock, Louisiana, as ofand for the year ended December 31, 2010, which collectively comprise the Town of Pollock's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated June 26, 2011. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Uruted States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town of Pollock's intemal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing om- auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for tiie purpose of expressing an opinion on tiie effectiveness of the Town of Pollock, Louisiana's intemal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe Town's internal control over fmancial reporting.
A deficiency in internal conbxjl exists when tiie design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in tiie normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility tiiat a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of intemal control over financial reporting was forthe limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that miglit be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies ui mtemal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, we identified certam deficiencies in intemal control over financid reporting, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs that we consider to be significant deficiencies m uitemal control over financial reporting, 2010-1. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in mtemal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with govemance.
Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaming reasonable assurance about whether the Town of Pollock, Louisiana's financial statements are fi-ee of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance witii those provisions was not an objective ofour audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opmion. The residts of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters tiiat are required to be reported under Govemment Auditing Standards.
The Town's response to tiie findings identified in our audit is described in tiie accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. We did not audit the Town's response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
This report is intended solely for the infomiation and use of management. Town Council, others witiiin the entity, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
