<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:
