We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of the govemmental activities and the major fund ofthe Evangeline Ville Platte Recreational District, a component unit ofthe Evangeline Parish Police Jury, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, which collectively comprise the District's basic fmancial statements as listed in the table of contents, in accordance with Statements on Staindards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these fmancial statements is the representation ofthe management of the, Evangeline Ville Platte Recreational District. ,1 .
A review consists principally of inquiries of Entity personnel and analytical procedures applied to fmancial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted-auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accoimting principles.
Management has not presented the management's discussion and analysis information and budgetaiy comparison information that the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board has determined is necessary to supplement, although not required to be a part of, the basic financial statements.
The information on p^es 19-21 are presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiry and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe basic financial statements, and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.

EVANGELINE VILLE PLATTE RECREATIONAL DISTRICT Evangeline Parish, Louisiana
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
(0 Summarv of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements of the Evangeline Ville Platte Recreational District (District) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. GAAP includes all relevant Govemmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. The accounting and reporting fiamework and the more significant accounting policies are discussed in subsequent subsections of this note.
The following is a simimary of certain significant accounting policies:
A. Financial Renorting Entity
The Evangeline Ville Platte Recreational District has been created by and in accordance with the provisions of Louisiana Revised Statute 33.4562.3 of Act 383 for the purpose of owning and operating recreational facilities of the district and to administer programs and activities which would promote recreation and any related activity designated to encourage recreation and promote the general health and well-being of citizens.
This report includes all funds, which are controlled by or dependent on the District as an independent political subdivision of the State of Louisiana. The District is a component unit of the Evangeline Parish Police Jury, the primary govemment, but is not included in the financial reporting ofthe Evangeline Parish Police Jury.
B. Basis of Presentation
Govemment-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS)
The statement of net assets and statement of activities display information about the reporting govemment as a whole. They include the fimd ofthe reporting entity, which is considered to be a govemmental activity.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the District's govemmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated vdth a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) fees and charges paid by the recipients for goods or services offered by the programs, and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
n
EVANGELINE VILLE PLATTE RECREATIONAL DISTRICT Evangeline Parish, Louisiana
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (continued)
Fund Financial Statements (FFS)
The accounts of the District are organized and operated on the basis of funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a separate set of self-balancing accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to tiieir intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with fmance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds is maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements.
The fund of the District is classified as a govemmental fimd. The emphasis on fund financial statements is on major govemmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund ofthe entity or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual govemmental or enterprise fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and
b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual govemmental or enterprise fimd are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all govemmental and enterprise funds combined.
The major fund and only fund ofthe District is described below:
Governmental Fund -
General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fimd.
Measurement Focus/Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus is a term used to describe "which" transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to "when" transactions are recorded regardless ofthe measurement focus applied.
12
EVANGELINE VILLE PLATTE RECREATIONAL DISTRICT Evangeline Parish, Louisiana
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (continued)
Measurement Focus
On the govemment-wide statement of net assets and the statement of activities, govemmental activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost recovery) and financial position. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with its activities are reported. Govemment-wide fund equity is classified as net assets. In the fund financial statements, the "current financial resources" measurement focus is used. Only current financial assets and liabilities are generally included on its balance sheet. Their operating statement presents sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. This fund uses fund balance as its measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period.
Basis of Accounting
In the govemment-wide statement of net assets and statement of activities, the govemmental activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accmal basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when eamed and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
Govemmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the govemment considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Revenues axe classified by source and expenditures are classified by function and character. Expenditures (including capital outlay) generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (continued)
D. Assets, Liabilities and Eouitv
Cash and interest-bearing deposits
For purposes of the statement of net assets, cash and interest-bearing deposits include all demand accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposits ofthe District
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the govemmental activities column in the govemment-wide fmancial statements. Capital assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated cost if historical cost is not available. Donated assets are recorded as capital assets at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Equity Classifications
In the govemment-wide statements, equity is classified as net assets and displayed in three components;
a. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt - Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, constmction, or improvement of those assets.
b. Restricted net assets - Consists of net assets with constraints placed on the use either by (1) extemal groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other govemments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted net assets - All other net assets that do not meet the defmition of "restricted" or "invested in capital assets, net of related debt."
In the fund statements, govemmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is further classified as reserved and unreserved, with unreserved further split between designated and undesignated.
Budgetary and Budgetary Accounting
A budget for the General Fund was not prepared for year ending December 31,2008.
14
EVANGELINE VILLE PLATTE RECREATIONAL DISTRICT Evangeline Parish, Louisiana
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (continued)
F. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accoimting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Cash and Interest-Bearing Deposits
Under state law, the District may deposit funds within a fiscal agent bank organized under the laws ofthe State of Louisiana, the laws of any other state in the union, or the laws ofthe United States. The District may invest in certificates and time deposits of state banks organized under Louisiana law and national banks having principal offices in Louisiana. At December 31, 2008, the District has cash demand deposits (book balances) totaling $236,246.
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, the District's deposits may not be recovered or will not be able to. recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District does not have" a policy for custodial credit risk, however, under state law, these deposits (or the resulting bank balances) must be secured by federal deposit insurance or similar federal security or the pledge of securities owned by the fiscal agent bank. The market value ofthe pledged securities plus the federal deposit insurance must at all times equal the amount on deposit with the fiscal agent bank. These securities are held in the name ofthe pledging fiscal agent bank in a holding or custodial bank that is mutually acceptable to both parties. Deposit balances (bank balances) at December 31, 2008, were secured in total by federal deposit insurance.
Q) Capital Assets
The capital asset balance at December 31, 2008 consists of the purchase of land during the year ended December 31, 2007 valued at $869,100.
(4) Litigation
There is no litigation pending against the District at December 31,2008.
