The notes to <br />the financial statements can be found on pages 34 -56 of this report. <br />Other information The combining statements and schedules referred to earlier in conjunction with <br />nonmajor governmental funds can be found on pages 67 -80 of this report. <br />GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS <br />As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial <br />position. The City of Lino Lakes' assets exceeded liabilities by $88,106,214 at the close of the most <br />recent fiscal year, an decrease of $819,082 from the previous year. This decrease is primarily due to the <br />depreciation of capital assets under the full accrual basis of accounting. <br />By far the largest portion of the City of Lino Lakes' net assets (59 %) reflects its investment in capital <br />assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and infrastructure), less any related debt used to <br />— acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City of Lino Lakes uses these capital assets to provide <br />services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of <br />Lino Lakes' investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the <br />— resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets <br />themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. <br />Condensed versions of the statements of net assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows: <br />Current and Other Assets <br />— Capital Assets <br />Total Assets <br />Noncurrent Liabilities Outstanding <br />— Other Liabilities <br />Total Liabilities <br />Net Assets: <br />— Invested in Capital Assets, Net <br />of Related Debt <br />Restricted <br />Unrestricted <br />— Total Net Assets <br />Governmental Activities Business -Type Activities <br />2010 2009 2010 <br />$ 31,085,069 $ 31,111,757 $ 10,830,886 <br />41,950,227 44,441,064 30,442,635 <br />73,035,296 75,552,821 41,273,521 <br />24,336,418 25,984,244 <br />969,751 827,328 <br />25,306,169 26,811,572 <br />Total <br />2009 2010 2009 <br />$ 10,258,440 $ 41,915,955 $ 41,370,197 <br />31,240,252 72,392,862 75,681,316 <br />41,498,692 114,308,817 117,051,513 <br />835,278 1,204,232 <br />61,156 110,413 <br />896,434 1,314,645 <br />22,562,217 23,400,453 29,648,461 <br />8,428,025 9,414,474 <br />16, 738, 885 15, 926, 322 10,728,626 <br />30,071,840 <br />10,112,207 <br />25,171,696 27,188,476 <br />1,030,907 937,741 <br />26,202,603 28,126,217 <br />52,210,678 53,472,293 <br />8,428,025 9,414,474 <br />27, 467, 511 26, 038, 529 <br />$ 47,729,127 $ 48,741,249 $ 40,377,087 $ 40,184,047 $ 88,106,214 $ 88,925,296 <br />— Of the remaining balance of the City of Lino Lakes' net assets, restricted net assets (10 %) are to be used <br />for debt service requirements and a nonexpendable environmental fund.
