Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated 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
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the National Council’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the National Council’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial sta.

Chicago, IL—Contemporary
Interiors, a Chicago tradition in
Scandinavian furniture and
contemporary design, has
announced a decision to go
national. Although Contempo-
rary Interiors has opened
stores throughout the Midwest
in recent years, the company
has remained a regional busi-
ness with the bulk of its sales
in the greater Chicago area.
Yesterday, however, a company
spokesman announced that
Contemporary Interiors’ Board
of Directors had decided the
time was right to make the
next move. Marc Janson,
spokesman for the firm’s pres-
ident and CEO, pointed to the
strong economy and consumer
confidence as being key to the
decision. “Disposable income
is up, and we’re seeing that in
our business,” said Janson.
“Even more important, though,
is our company’s strong finan-
cial position. The analysts tell
us that our financial state-
ments look good. Our working
capital, inventory turnover,
return on assets, and so forth
are all strong. This will be
important, because in order to
expand, the company’s going
to have to raise capital. And
the bankers and potential
investors are going to need to
see those strong financial indi-
cators. The board hasn’t
decided yet how much of our
new capital needs should be
debt and how much should be
in stock. I’m sure they’ll keep a
close eye on the debt-equity
ratio.” When asked where
Contemporary Interiors’ next
store would appear, Janson
replied that New York, Atlanta,
and San Francisco were all
under consideration.
CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS TO GO NATIONAL
Financial statements provide the primary means for managers to communicate about
the financial condition of their organization to outside parties. Managers, investors,
lenders, financial analysts, and government agencies are among the users of financial
statements. Substantial information is conveyed by financial statements about the
financial strength and current performance of an enterprise. Although financial state-
ments are prepared primarily for users outside an organization, managers also find their
organization’s financial statements useful in making decisions. As managers develop
operating plans, they think about how those plans will affect the performance of the
organization, as conveyed by the financial statements. In this chapter, we explore how
to analyze financial statements to glean the most information about an organization.
Overview of Financial Statements
There are four primary financial statements:

Background
You are a manager in the audit division at Miller Yates Howarth (MYH), an accounting firm with offices throughout the major regional centres of NSW and Queensland. Although a medium sized firm by national standards, MYH is the second largest regional accounting firm in Australia. Most of MYH’s audit clients are in the agriculture, mining, manufacturing and property industries. All of those industries are currently under pressure, either from a downturn in commodity prices or fierce competition from overseas competitors.
You are gathering information in order to prepare the audit plan of GPSA Limited for the year ended 30 June 2017. Along with Morgan Fertilisers, GPSA is one of MYH’s most significant and longstanding clients. The following information has been gathered to date.
Principal activities of GPSA
• research and development of technologies relating to medical equipment;
• manufacture and distribution of medical equipment;
• investment of surplus funds; and
• investment in the property market.
GPSA was incorporated in 1992 and has operated successfully and profitably since that date. In the last few years it has branched out into the property market, acquiring a number of commercial properties which are let mainly to medical practitioners.
The directors of GPSA are:
• Mr. John Stanton, Chairman
• Ms Jane Quade, Chief Executive Officer
• Mr. Joe Quade
• Dr Barry Jones
• Dr Beryl Yeo
Doctors Jones and Yeo are independent non-executive directors and have been directors since 2003. The other three executive directors have been employed by the company since its incorporation and have considerable experience in the industry. Mr Stanton controls a number of private companies.
In prior years MYH placed reliance on internal controls based on satisfactory results of extensive tests of control. Recent discussions with the client have revealed no changes in the system of internal control since last year. The company does not have an internal audit function.
In February 2016, research activities relating to a new laser surgery device commenced. Significant costs were incurred in relation to this research. In April 2017 a competitor announced that it had successfully developed and patented a similar device. In order to finance the research activities noted above the company borrowed from its bankers an additional $5 million during the year. The loan agreement contains a covenant to the effect that should the company's debt to equity ratio (measured as total liabilities: shareholders' equity) increase above 1.2:1.0 at any time, the bankers have the right to demand immediate repayment.
Throughout the 2017 financial year, the property market has been in decline. The end of financial year audit is scheduled to start on 1 August 2017 and should take about two weeks to complete. The client completed .

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

The Board of Commissioners
Newark Housing Authority
Newark, New Jersey 07102

2017. The Authority’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) prepared this report
with contributions by finance staff and other departments within the Authority following
guidelines recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (“GFOA”) of the

9. The Authority’s financial statements, as required by HUD and Office of Management and
Budget’s (OMB) “Super Circular” 2 CFR Part 200 and State of New Jersey Department of
the Treasury issued Circular Letter 15-08-OMB. The HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center
(“REAC”) requires Public Housing Agencies (“PHAs”) to annually publish a complete set
of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
by a firm of licensed Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Pursuant to that requirement, we
hereby issue the CAFR of the Newark Housing Authority for the year ended December 31,
2017 audited by Novogradac & Company LLP, a firm of licensed CPAs. The independent
auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the Authority’s financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2017, indicating that they were fairly presented, in all material
respects, and in conformity with GAAP. The Independent auditor’s report is presented as
the first component of the financial section of this CAFR.

statements entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Authority’s MD&A can be
found immediately following the Independent Auditor’s Report. This letter of transmittal
is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the Authority
The Authority was created by a City of Newark ordinance in accordance with the State
of New Jersey Local Housing Authorities Law in 1938 (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A). Pursuant to
the procedures of the “Local Authorities Fiscal Control Law,”P.L.1983, C.313
(C.40A:5A-1 et seq.), the governing body of the Authority is consist of seven
members, five members shall be appointed by the governing body of the municipality,
one by the mayor of the municipality, and one by the Commissioner Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) of the State of New Jersey.
The Authority is the largest PHA in the State of New Jersey provides safe, decent and
affordable housing to approximately 10,600 low and moderate income Newark
residents. Through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”) Program, the
Authority assists approximately 12,600 residents in locating and renting housing in
privately owned buildings.
As of December 31, 2017 the Authority owns and operates 6,311 low-rent Public
Housing rental Annual Contribution Contract (“ACC”) units located in 24 Asset
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 9
10. Management Properties (AMPs), 200 Section 8 rental assistance units for low income
elderly tenants at development called Branch Brook Park Housing Manor. In addition
there are 360 ACC units in 9 Mixed-Finance developments.
HUD has also contracted with the Authority for the support of 6,987 Housing Choice
Vouchers. Under the HCV Program, the Authority administers contracts with private
landlords owning rental property. The Authority subsidizes the family’s rent through
housing assistance payment made to the landlord. The program is administered under
an ACC with HUD.
The Authority’s mission is ‘to invest in our families by building and maintaining
affordable housing to encourage economic independence and healthy communities’.
The Authority's basic financial statements consist of a single enterprise fund,
which includes the following programs:
Low Rent Public Housing (“LRPH”) Program
Public Housing Capital Fund (“CFP”) Program
Resident Opportunity and Self-sufficiency (“ROSS”) Program
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”) Program
Business Activities-Urban Renewal (“UR”) Program
Component Units-Branch Brook Park Manor (“BBPM”)
Up-frontGrant(“UFG”)Program
State and Local Programs
Please refer to Note 1 to the financial statements for a description of Authority
programs. For further analysis, we have also included supplemental financial
schedules for the programs individually, which can be found following the notes to the
basic financial statements.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
To assess the Authority’s overall financial condition, the following information
contained within the Authority’s financial statements should be considered in
connection with an understanding of the following major factors affecting its
financial condition:
Congressional Budget and HUD Policy. As a PHA, the Authority's primary source
of funding is HUD. The amount of funding received from HUD is affected by
Congressional housing legislation and the federal budget. The Authority continually
monitors changes and trends in the Congressional Budget and HUD policy to adjust
its strategy and financial planning accordingly.
Operating Subsidy. Since Calendar Year (“CY”) 2012 HUD funded Operating
Subsidies to PHAs an average of 89.05% of its full eligibility. HUD’s final
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 10
11. proration for CY 2017 was 93.10% and CY 2018 funding proration is at 94.74%.
During Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2017, the Authority received $47.3 million in operating
subsidies, $16.5 million in Public Housing Capital Fund Program. Also during FY
2018, the Authority received $ 61.3 million in Housing Assistance Payments and
Administrative fees combined from HUD for the Section 8 Housing Choice
Voucher Programs.
Financial Results and Outlook
The Authority's operating loss as of December 31, 2017 is $29.7 million as
compared to $18.6 million for the previous year. Operating Loss increased by $11.1
million primarily due to a decrease of $16.2 million in operating revenues offset
by a decrease of $5.1 million in operating expenses.
Increased Revenue. Rent provides a significant portion of the Authority’s income.
The Authority began phasing in a series of rent increases targeted to residents
who were paying less than 30 percent of their income towards rent. Due to a new
HUD requirement and change in federal law, NHA shall review the Flat Rent
structure and Fair Market Rents annually and adjust the rents as needed. Annual
flat rent increases will be limited to 35 percent of the existing flat rent amount.
Where applicable, increases to bring the NHA’s existing flat rent up to 80% of the
FMR, will be phased in.
Improve Central Office and Administrative Efficiency. Through the years, the
Authority has taken aggressive measures to contain spending through various
workforce reduction programs. During 2017, the NHA has continued assessing its
central office and costs centers operations and identifying opportunities to increase
efficiency streamline activities and reduce redundancy in the central office. The 2017
Operating Budget reflects initiatives through which central office and administrative
office activities were streamlined and resources redirected to the frontline. Although
the Authority has been taking measures to control costs, savings have been offset by
increases in certain other costs such as employee entitlements including pension, and
health insurance. The Authority's OPEB costs continue to be significant, with $ 9.8
million of expense in 2017, the Authority's OPEB liability at December 31, 2017 is
approximately $33.2 million, and NHA continues to use a "pay-as-you-go" approach to
OPEB costs. Due to NHA's funding challenges, as with many other governmental
entities, this liability remains unfunded, and there is no clear source of future funding.
Also, as a result of the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(“GASB”) Statement No. 68 as amended by (“GASB”) No. 71, the Authority Pension
Liability is $64.5 million at December 31, 2017.
Energy Conservation. On September 30, 2011 the Authority issued Certificates of
Participation (COPs), Series 2011 in the amount of $49,560,203 to fund the Authority
Energy Performance Contract (EPC Phase 1A) capital equipment lease program. The
COPs were refinanced over a 15 year term on May 31, 2013 with ‘Public Finance Energy
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 11
12. Improvement Nonrecourse Promissory Note, Series 2013’ in the amount of
$54,481,179.30. The note is nonrecourse and bears an interest rate of 3.48% with semi-
annual principal and interest payments through the maturity date of April 1, 2028. As
a result of the refinancing, the Authority expanded its Energy Performance Contract
(EPC).
On September 30, 2013 the Authority issued ‘Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement’
in the amount of $3,579,272 to fund the Authority Energy Performance Contract (EPC
Phase 1B) capital equipment lease program. The certificates mature at various times
through April, 2028 bearing interest at 3.50% and are payable by the Authority solely
from add-on subsidy incentives from HUD due to energy savings from the properties
owned by the Authority. The loan is nonrecourse.
On December 11, 2015, the Authority entered into an Equipment Lease- Purchase
Agreement (EPC Phase 2) in the amount of $84,000,000 to provide for Energy Efficient
improvements to Authority buildings. Interest accrues at 3.92% with semi-annual
payments due in accordance with the Lease Payment Schedule. The lease matures on
October 1, 2031 and is nonrecourse.
Public Housing Assessment System (“PHAS”). During 2011, HUD issued PHAS Interim
Rule, which revised the previous PHAS guidelines. Under the PHAS Interim Rule, the
performance of Public Housing Agencies (“PHAs”) is measured for a maximum total
score of 100 in the following categories:
Physical Assessment; 40 points,
Financial Condition; 25 points,
Management Operations; 25 points and,
Capital Fund Program; 10 points.
Under the interim Rule, HUD will use indicators that cover both the Financial
Condition and Management Operations components to assess the financial
performance of PHAs. The Authority’s overall score for Fiscal Year Ended December
31, 2016, under the Interim Rule was 44, which designates the Authority as a troubled
PHA. The final PHAS score for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017 will not be released
by HUD until after the review and approval of the audited Financial Data Schedules
(“FDS”) by the REAC team.
Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). The SEMAP measures the
performance of the PHAs that administer the Housing Choice Voucher program in 14
key areas. The 14 key indicators of PHA performance are:
(i) Proper selection of applicants from the housing choice voucher waiting list,
(ii) Sound determination of reasonable rent for each unit leased,
(iii) Establishment of payment standards within the required range of the HUD
fair market rent,
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 12
13. (iv) Accurate verification of family income,
(v) Timely annual reexaminations of family income,
(vi) Correct calculation of the tenant share of the rent and the housing assistance
payment,
(vii) Maintenance of a current schedule of allowances for tenant utility costs,
(viii) Ensure units comply with the housing quality standards before families enter
into leases and PHAs enter into housing assistance contracts,
(ix) Timely annual housing quality inspections,
(x) Performing of quality control inspections to ensure housing quality,
(xi) Ensure that landlords and tenants promptly correct housing quality
deficiencies,
(xii) Ensure that all available housing choice vouchers are used,
(xiii) Expand housing choice outside areas of poverty or minority concentration,
and
(xiv) Enroll families in the family self-sufficiency (FSS) program as required and
help FSS families achieve increases in employment income.
SEMAP helps HUD target monitoring and assistance to PHA programs that need the
most improvement. The NHA’s HCV program has historically been designated a High
Performer, and recently had a successful SEMAP Confirmatory Review conducted by
the Newark Field Office. The NHA’s SEMAP score for the 12/31/2017 Fiscal Year End
was 93% (High Performer), and 97% (High Performer) for the 12/31/2016 Fiscal Year
End.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The GFOA of the United States and Canada awarded the fourth consecutive
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Authority for
its CAFR for the year ended December 31, 2016. The FY 2016 Certificate is displayed
right after the cover page of this document. This is the fifth consecutive year that the
Authority is competing for this prestigious award. The Certificate of Achievement is
the highest form of recognition for excellence in state and local government financial
reporting. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit
must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR that demonstrates a
constructive “spirit of full disclosure.” This report must satisfy both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
The GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting submission
deadline is six months after the fiscal year end. Due to restructuring and transition of
the Authority the submission has been delayed. The Authority has issued its audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, accompanying Single Audit
Report on Dec 27, 2018. The Authority has requested an extension until December 31,
2018 from GFOA and has granted the extension. This has afforded the Authority the
opportunity to compete for the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 13
14. only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting to the GFOA to
determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Respectfully Submitted,
Samuel G Moolayil
Chief Financial Officer

24. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Commissioners of the
Housing Authority of the City of Newark:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Housing Authority of the City of Newark (the
"Authority") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, as
listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
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 and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States and audit requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of
Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditors consider internal control relevant to the Authority’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 24
25. Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net position of
the Authority as of December 31, 2017, and the changes in its net position and its cash flows for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Correction of Error
As discussed in Note 19 to the financial statements, certain errors that resulted in overstatements of amounts
previously reported for notes receivable, accrued interest, capital assets and net position as of December 31, 2016,
were discovered by management of the Authority during the current year. Accordingly, net position as of December
31, 2016 has been restated to correct these errors. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion
and analysis and required pension information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures
to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the Authority's basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements. The accompanying financial data schedule is also not a required part of the basic
financial statements and is presented for the purposes of additional analysis as required by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and financial data schedule are the responsibility of management and
were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly
to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and financial data
schedule are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 25
26. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 27, 2018 on our
consideration of the Authority's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority's
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

28. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2017
The following is a narrative overview and analysis of the Authority’s financial activities that the Newark Housing
Authority offers readers as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. Please read it in conjunction with the
audit report at the beginning of this document, the financial statements following this section and notes to the
financial statements.
Any questions concerning the information provided in this discussion or requests for additional information should
be addressed to the Authority’s Executive Director and/or Chief Financial Officer.
Overview of the Financial Reports
Statement of Net Position - Includes all of the Authority’s assets, deferred outflow of resources,
liabilities and deferred inflow of resources at the end of the year. Net position is the difference
between assets plus deferred outflow of resources less liabilities plus deferred inflow of resources.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position will serve as a useful indicator of whether the
Authority’s financial health is improving ordeteriorating.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position - Reports the Authority’s
operating results and how its Net Position changed during the year. All revenues, Expenses, and
Changes in Net Position are reported on an accrual basis of accounting, which reports transactions
as they occur, rather than when cash changes hands (cash basis ofaccounting).
Statement of Cash Flows – Reports the Authority’s cash receipts and cash payments during the
year, and provides information about the Authority’s operating, investing, and financing activities.
The Authority uses the direct method of presenting cash flows, which includes a reconciliation of
operating income or loss to cash flow related to operatingactivities.
Notes to the Financial Statements – Provides additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the Basic Financial Statements. The Notes to Financial
Statements can be found in this report after the Basic FinancialStatements.
Supplementary Information – Reports the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards, financial
data schedule and required pension information, which are presented for purposes of additional
analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance, Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, respectively.

The $23.5 million decrease in other non-current assets is due primarily to a decrease of $37.6 million in
restricted cash related to the energy performance contract and capital fund financing activities, and an increase
of $14.1 million in notes receivable and related accrued interest. These notes were issued by the Authority to
assist in the construction of numerous public housing developments under the mixed financeprogram.
The $7.6 million decrease in deferred outflows of resources is comprised of pension related deferred outflows
as a result of the implementation of GASB Statement 68 as amended by GASB Statement71.
The $5.6 million increase in current liabilities is primarily due to increases of current portion of bonds and notes
payable, $1.1 million; other current liabilities, $4.4 million; and accrued interest payable; $3.1 million. These
increases are offset by decreases in accounts payable, $2.6 million; and prepaid rent, $0.4million.
The $3.4 million decrease in non-current liabilities is due to the increases of $5.9 million in bonds, loans and
notes payable, related to the energy performance contracts and $4.1 million in non-current liabilities other
mainly due to an increase in utility accruals. This increase is offset by a decrease of $14.2 million in accrued
OPEB and accrued pension liability as a result of the implementation of GASB Statement 68as
amended by GASB Statement 71.

December 31, 2017 vs. December 31, 2016
The operating loss increase of $11.1 million, from $18.6 million in 2016 to $29.7 million in 2017 is primarily
due to a decrease of $16.2 million in operating revenues offset by a decrease of $5.1 in operatingexpenses.
The $16.2 million decrease in operating revenue consists of a decrease of $6.7 million in HUD and other
government operating grants, $10.2 million in other revenues, which were offset by an increase in tenant
revenue of $0.7 million.
The $5.0 million decrease in operating expenses consists of decreases in administrative, $4.3 million; ordinary
repairs and maintenance, $7.9 million; and general expense, $3.5 million; offset by increases in protective
services, $1.7 million; utilities, $2.5 million; and depreciation, $6.3million.
Non-operating expenses, net amounted to $4.0 million for 2017, which increased by $0.3 million from $3.7
million from the prior year primarily due to increases in investment income, $0.5 million; and interest expense,
$0.4 million.
Capital contributions decreased $1.4 million from the prior year primarily due to a decrease in capital activity
in the Public Housing Capital Fundprogram.

The increase in capital assets is primarily due to capital improvements funded by the Public Housing Capital
Fund Program and the Energy Performance Contract(EPC).
Long Term Debt Activity
On April 1, 2004, the Authority issued Special Obligation Pension Refunding Bonds, Series 2004 in the amount
of $6,840,000 to provide funds to (i) fund the Authority’s PERS liability incurred as a result of its 2003 early
retirement program, (ii) repay a loan from the New Jersey Division of Pensions related to its 1991 early
retirement program, (iii) fund the Bond Reserve Fund and (iv) pay costs associated with the issuance of the
Bonds. The bonds mature at various times through March, 2021 bearing interest at rates from 4.95% to 6.09%
and are payable by the Authority solely from pledged revenues which consist of rental income derived from
certain properties owned by theAuthority.
On September 30, 2011, the Authority issued Certificates of Participation (COPs), Series 2011 in the amount
of $49,560,203 to fund the Authority Energy Performance Contract (EPC) capital equipment lease program.
The COPs were refinanced over a 15 year term on May 31, 2013 with ‘Public Finance Energy Improvement
Nonrecourse Promissory Note, Series 2013’ in the amount of $54,481,179.30. The note bears an interest rate of
3.84% with semi-annual principal and interest payments through the maturity date of April 1, 2028. As a result
of the refinancing, the Authority expanded its Energy Performance Contract (EPC).

Long Term Debt Activity (continued)
On September 30, 2013 the Authority issued ‘Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement’ in the amount of
$3,579,272 to fund the Authority Energy Performance Contract (EPC) capital equipment lease program. The
certificates mature at various times through April 2028 bearing interest at 3.50% and are payable by the
Authority solely from add-on subsidy incentives from HUD due to energy savings from the properties owned
by the Authority.
On January 15, 2014, the Authority issued Capital Fund Program Revenue Bonds, Series 2014A in the amount
of $17,890,000 to fund the Authority for the Capital Improvement needs. The certificates mature at various
times through December, 2033 bearing an interest rate of 4.11% and are payable from payments of future
Capital Fund Program moneys (“Capital Fund Allocations”) received by the Authority from HUD and pledged
and assigned by the Authority to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of Series of 2014A Bonds. HUD and
the Authority have agreed, pursuant to a Capital Fund Financing Agreement entered into between the Authority
and HUD, that HUD will make payments of Capital Fund Allocations that the Authority would have received
under its Annual Contributions Contract (“ACC”) directly to the Trustee, rather than to the Authority, in
amounts sufficient to pay debt service on the Series 2014A Bonds. Interest on the Series 2014A Bonds is payable
semiannually on each June 1 and December 1, commencing June 1, 2014.
On December 11, 2015, the Authority entered into an Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement (EPC Phase 2) in
the amount of $84,000,000 to provide for Energy Efficient improvements to Authority buildings. Interest
accrues at 3.92% with semi-annual payments due in accordance with the Lease Payment Schedule. The lease
matures on October 1, 2031 and is nonrecourse.
During 2017, the Authority, through the Capital Fund Financing Program, financed the cost of the CFFP Project
with the proceeds of its $12,801,313 Capital Fund Program Revenue Bonds, Series 2017 dated April 27, 2017.
Interest accrues at 5.65% and is payable semi-annually on June 1st and December 1st. The bonds mature in
various amounts on December 1st each year through December 2034. The loan is nonrecourse and repayment
of the funds shall be paid solely from Capital Fund allocations received byHUD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
The Housing Authority of the City of Newark (the "Authority") is a public body corporate and
politic of the State of New Jersey (the "State”) created by the City of Newark (the "City”) under
Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1,et seq) of the State. The Authority
is responsible for operating certain low-rent housing programs in the City under programs
administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). These
programs provide housing for eligible families under the United States Housing Act of 1937, as
amended. As of December 31, 2017, the Authority maintained approximately 6,555 federally
funded conventional public housing units. In addition to this, there are 360 mixed finance ACC
units, which are managed by private developers. The Authority also maintains a leased housing
program, which is authorized to provide housing assistance payments to approximately 5,114
families.
A board of seven members who serve five-year terms governs the Authority. The governing board
is essentially autonomous but is responsible to HUD and the State of New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs. An executive director is appointed by the Authority’s Board to manage the
day-to-day operations of theAuthority.
B. Basis of Accounting / Preparation of Financial Statements
The Authority's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board is responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its
pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations).
The programs of the Authority are organized as separate accounting entities. Each program is
accounted for by a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows
of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, net position (program equity), revenues, and
expenses. The individual programs account for the governmental resources allocated to them for
the purpose of carrying on specific programs in accordance with laws, regulations, or other
restrictions, including those imposed by HUD. The programs of the Authority are combined and
considered an enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is used to account for activities that are operated
in a manner similar to those found in the private sector.
The Authority's enterprise fund is accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues, expenses, gains, and losses from assets and liabilities
resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes
place.
The Authority's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GASB 34, Basic Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments, as
amended ("GASB 34"). GASB 34 requires the basic financial statements to be prepared using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting and requires the
presentation of a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in
Net Position and Statement of Cash Flows. GASB 34 also requires the Authority to include
Management's Discussion and Analysis as part of the Required Supplementary Information.
NHA CAFR-FY 2017 Page 42
43. HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF NEWARK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
B. Basis of Accounting / Preparation of Financial Statements (continued)
The Authority's primary source of non-exchange revenue relates to grants and subsidies. In
accordance with GASB 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Non-exchange Transactions
("GASB 33"), grant and subsidy revenue are recognized at the time eligible program expenditures
occur and/or the Authority has complied with the grant and subsidy requirements.
On January 30, 2008, HUD issued PIH Notice 2008-9 which requires that unused housing
assistance payments ("HAP") under proprietary fund reporting should be reported as restricted net
position, with the associated cash and investments also being reported as restricted. Any unused
administrative fees should be reported as unrestricted net position, with the associated assets being
reported on the financial data schedule as unrestricted.
Both administrative fee and HAP revenue continue to be recognized under the guidelines set forth
in GASB 33. Accordingly, both the time and purpose restrictions as defined by GASB 33 are met
when these funds are available and measurable, not when these funds are expended. The Section 8
Housing Choice Vouchers program is no longer a cost reimbursement grant; therefore, the
Authority recognizes unspent administrative fee and HAP revenue in the reporting period as
revenue for financial statement reporting.
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.305(b) (9), any investment income earned up to $500 on these funds
may be retained by the Authority. Amounts in excess of $500 must be remitted annually to the
Department of Health and Human Services, Payment Management System.
The Authority adopted GASB 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions ("GASB 68").
GASB 68 established standards for measuring and recognizing liabilities, deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expenditures associated with pension plans of State
and Local Governments. For defined benefit pensions, GASB 68 identifies the methods and
assumptions that should be used to project benefit payments, discount projected benefit payments
to their actual present value, and attribute that present value to periods of employee service. In
addition, GASB 68 details the recognition and disclosure requirements for employers with
liabilities to a defined benefit pension plan and for employers whose employees are provided with
defined contribution pensions.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Proprietary funds are accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses
are recorded at the time the liabilities are incurred. With this measurement focus, all assets and all
liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the Statement of Net
Position. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with proprietary funds’ principal on going operations.

44. HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF NEWARK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
B. Basis of Accounting / Preparation of Financial Statements (continued)
The principal operating revenues of the Authority’s funds are rent and maintenance charges to
residents, operating grants and subsidies from HUD, and administration fees earned. Operating
expenses for proprietary funds include the administrative costs of providing services to residents
and the housing assistance payments to residents. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
C. Reporting Entity
In accordance with GASB 61, The Financial Reporting Entity Omnibus - An Amendment of GASB
Statement No. 14 and No. 34, the Authority’s basic financial statements include those of the
Authority and any component units. Component units are legally separate organizations whose
majority of officials are appointed by the primary government or the organization is fiscally
dependent on the primary government and there is a potential for those organizations either to
provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary
government. An organization has a financial benefit or burden relationship with the primary
government if any one of the following conditions exist:
1. The primary government (Authority) is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the
organization's resources.
2. The primary government is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to
finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization.
3. The primary government is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization.
Component units are reported as part of the reporting entity under either the blended or discrete
method of presentation. Blending involves merging the component unit data with the primary
government. The discrete method presents the financial statements of the component unit outside
the financial statement totals of the primary government. The blending method is utilized when the
board of the component unit is substantially the same as that of the primary government or when
the component unit serves the primary government exclusively or almost exclusively.
Based upon the application of these criteria, this report includes the following blended component
units:
Branch Brook Park Housing Association, Inc. (“BBPHA”) – BBPHA was organized under the laws
of the State of New Jersey to provide Section 8 housing and rental assistance for low income
elderly tenants. The corporation is governed by a Board of Trustees whose members must be either
an officer of the Authority or a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Authority. The Board
of Commissioners of the Authority must approve all actions, including issuance of bonded debt,
operational and capital budgets, through resolution. An outside management firm administers this
project.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
C. Reporting Entity (continued)
Housing Finance Corporation (“HFC”) – HFC was established by the Board of Commissioners of
the Authority to sponsor the issuance of tax-exempt bonds to finance the construction of Section 8
housing. The HFC received a fee for this service that was derived from bond proceeds and currently
has no assets or liabilities.
Newark HP I, LLC, Newark HP II, LLC, Newark HP III, LLC, Newark HP IV, LLC and Newark
HP V, LLC. – The Authority created these entities to facilitate mixed-finance transactions in
conjunction with their HOPE VI and Development grants. These entities are a partner (member) in
various limited liability corporations formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating
low-income housing projects in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. These
entities have no assets or liabilities.
Additionally, based on the application of the above criteria, the Authority’s financial statements are
not included in any other reporting entity’s financial statements.
D. Description of Programs
A summary of the significant programs operated by the Authority is as follows:
Public and Indian Housing Program
The Public and Indian Housing Program is designed to provide low-cost housing. Under this
program, HUD provides funding via an annual contributions contract. These funds, combined with
the rental income received from tenants, are available solely to meet the operating expenses of the
program.
Public Housing Capital Fund Program
The purpose of the Public Housing Capital Fund Program is to provide another source of funding
to cover the cost of physical and management improvements and rehabilitation on existing low-
income housing and improving the central office facilities. Funding for this program is provided
by grants from HUD.
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers
The Authority administers a program of rental assistance payments to private owners on behalf of
eligible low-income families under Section 8 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1974.
The program provides payments covering the difference between the maximum rent on a dwelling
unit, as approved by HUD, and the amount of rent contribution by a participating family.
State and Local Programs
Periodically, the Authority administers various grants from the State and/or the City. The activities
of state and local grants are reported in this fund.

D. Description of Programs (continued)
Business Activities
The Authority operates urban renewal programs and other non-federally funded business-type
activities. Revenues are derived from commercial rent and the proceeds from disposition of
property.
Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Program
The purpose of the Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency ("ROSS") grant program is to
provide funds for job training and supportive services to help residents of public housing transition
from welfare to work. ROSS also provides funding to link elderly/disabled residents to critical
services which can help them continue to live independently.
Central Office Cost Center
The Central Office Cost Center ("COCC") is mandated by HUD to account for "centralized"
services and functions necessary to the Authority's operations. Funding for the COCC is in the form
of fees charged to other Authority programs and activities as well as to affiliate entities. The fees
charged include those specified by HUD as management fees, bookkeeping fees, asset management
fees and other fees for service. HUD regulates which and how fees may be charged to HUD
programs.
E. Use of Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued expenses and other
liabilities, depreciable lives of properties and equipment and contingencies. Actual results could
differ significantly from these estimates.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
New Jersey Authorities are required by N.J.S.A. 40A:5-14 to deposit public funds in a bank or trust
company having its place of business in the State of New Jersey and organized under the laws of
the United States, or the State of New Jersey, or the New Jersey Cash Management Fund.
N.J.S.A. 40A:5-15.1 provides a list of securities which may be purchased by New Jersey
Authorities.
The Authority is required to deposit funds in public depositories protected from loss under the
provisions of the Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act ("GUDPA"). GUDPA was enacted in
1970 to protect governmental units from a loss of funds on deposit with a failed banking institution
in New Jersey.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
N.J.S.A. 17:9-42 requires governmental units to deposit public funds only in public depositories
located in New Jersey, when the funds are secured in accordance with the act.
HUD requires housing authorities to invest excess funds in obligations of the United States,
Certificates of Deposit, or any other federally insured investment. HUD also requires that deposits
be fully collateralized at all times. Acceptable collateralization includes FDIC insurance and the
market value of securities purchased and pledged to the political subdivision. Pursuant to HUD
restrictions, obligations of the United States are allowed as security for deposits. Obligations
furnished as security must be held by the Authority or with an unaffiliated bank or trust company
for the account of the Authority.
It is the Authority's policy to maintain collateralization in accordance with state and HUD
requirements.
For the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase.
G. Accounts Receivable, Net
Rents are due from tenants on the first day of each month. As a result, accounts receivable balances
primarily consist of rents past due and vacated units. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
established to provide for all accounts, which may not be collected in the future for any reason.
Collection losses on accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Also included in accounts receivable are those amounts that tenants owe the Authority as payment
for committing fraud or misrepresentation.
The Authority recognizes a receivable from HUD and other governmental agencies for amounts
billed but not received and for amounts unbilled, but earned as of year-end.
H. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Authority periodically reviews all accounts receivable to determine the amount, if any, that
may be uncollectable. If it is determined that an account or accounts may be uncollectable, the
Authority prepares an analysis of such accounts and records an appropriate allowance against such
amounts.
I. Investments
Investments consist of treasury bonds and are valued at their cost which approximates their market
value in accordance with GASB 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures - An Amendment of
GASB No. 3.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
J. Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses represent amounts paid as of year-end that will benefit future operations.
K. Capital Assets
Capital assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged directly to
expense as they are incurred. Expenditures determined to represent additions or betterments are
capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and any related gain or loss is reflected in the
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the following asset groups:
Buildings 40 Years
Site and building improvements 15 Years
Equipment, vehicles, and furniture 3-7 Years
The Authority has established a capitalization threshold of $5,000.
L. Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Authority evaluates events or changes in circumstances affecting long-lived assets to determine
whether an impairment of its assets has occurred. If the Authority determines that a capital asset is
impaired, and that the impairment is significant and other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss
will be recorded in the Authority's financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2017
there were no impairments losses incurred.
M. Notes Receivable
The Authority has utilized development funds in accordance with HUD guidelines to assist in the
construction and redevelopment of numerous public housing developments through the issuance of
mortgage notes. When preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates as to the collectability of such
mortgage notes. When estimating collectability, management analyzes the value of the underlying
mortgaged property; the property’s ability to generate positive cash flow, and current economic
trends and conditions. Management utilizes these estimates and judgments in connection with
establishing an allowance for uncollectable amounts during an accounting period.
N. Prepaid Rent
The Authority's unearned revenue primarily consist of the prepayment of rent by residents
applicable to future periods.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
O. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are those absences for which employees will be paid, such as vacation and
sick leave. A liability for compensated absences that is attributable to services already rendered and
that is not contingent on a specific event is accrued as employees earn the rights to the benefits.
Employees may only accumulate and carry over to the following year the prior year’s unused
vacation. The Authority’s sick leave policy is in accordance with New Jersey State law and the
various union contracts. Employees are allowed to carry over unused sick leave without penalty.
Upon retirement, employees are paid one half of their unused sick time up to a maximum of $15,000
to $20,000 depending on their various bargaining unitagreements.
P. Inter-Program Receivables and Payables
Inter-program receivables and payables are all classified as either current assets or current
liabilities, and are the result of the use of a concentrated account depository as the common
paymaster for most of the programs of the Authority. Cash settlements are made monthly. All inter-
program balances are reconciled, and inter-program receivables and payables balances net to zero.
In accordance with GASB 34, interprogram receivables and payables are eliminated for financial
statement purposes. Detail balances by program are found in the Financial Data Schedule of this
report.
Q. Equity Classifications
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
Net investment in capital assets - 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, construction or improvement of
those assets.
Restricted net position - Consists of resources with constraints placed on the use either by (1)
external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments;
or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net position - All other net position that does not meet the definition of "restricted" or
"net investment in capital assets."
R. Deferred Outflows / Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption
of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of
resources until that time.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
R. Deferred Outflows / Inflows of Resources (continued)
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition
of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources
until that time.
S. Investment in Leased Property
As part of its development activities, the Authority routinely enters into ground lease agreements.
Under terms of the agreements, the Authority leases land it owns to a third party and that party
owns the improvements built on the land. Typically, the lease terms range from fifty (50) to ninety-
nine (99) years.
These lease agreements (land only) are recorded as operating leases and are accounted for as
follows:
The leased property is included near property, plant and equipment but separately identified on the
Authority’s Statement of Net Position (if material balance exists) as “Investment in Leased
Property”. Since land has an indefinite useful life, no depreciation is charged on the property.
Rent is reported as income over the lease term as it becomes receivable according to the provisions
of the lease. However, if the rentals vary from the straight-line basis, the Authority recognizes the
income on a straight-line basis unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative
of the time pattern in which use benefit from the leased property is diminished, in which case that
basis will be used.
Upon substantial completion of the development agreement, if the fair value of the property is less
than its cost or carrying amount, then a loss equal to that difference will be recognized at the
inception of the lease.
T. Taxes
The Authority is a unit of local government under New Jersey law and is exempt from real estate,
sales and income taxes by both the federal and state governments. However, the Authority will pay
a payment in lieu of taxes to cover municipal services provided by the local government for certain
properties owned throughout the City.
U. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The Authority is required by contractual agreements to adopt annual, appropriated operating
budgets for all its programs receiving federal expenditure awards. All budgets are prepared on a
HUD basis, which is materially consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. All appropriations lapse at HUD's program year end or at the end of
grant periods.

authority wide budget for each fiscal year to the Director of the Division of Local Government
Services sixty (60) days prior to the end of the fiscal year.
V. Economic Dependency
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Public and Indian Housing programs of the Authority
are economically dependent on operating grants and subsidies from HUD. The programs operate
at a loss prior to receiving the grants.
NOTE 2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
As of December 31, 2017, the Authority had funds on deposit in checking, savings and money

Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a bank failure, the government's deposits may
not be returned to it. The Authority does not have a formal policy for custodial credit risk. As of
December 31, 2017, the Authority's bank balances were not exposed to custodial credit risk.

fair value, and consisted of the following:
Maturities
Investment Type Fair Value
Less than
One Year
One to
Five Years
Credit
Risk
Federal Agency Bonds / Notes $ 690,298 $ - $ 690,298 AA+
Interest Rate Risk – The Authority does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment
maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest
rates.
The Authority’s investment policy requires the Chief Financial Officer to periodically review its
investments. For U.S. government securities, maximum maturity permitted by the policy is 10 years
from the date of purchase. For most other securities, the maximum maturity is five years or less
from the date of purchase.
The investments are held in the Authority’s name at a third party custodian. The Authority’s
custodian issues monthly statements which the Finance Department reviews for contractual and
investment policy compliance.
Credit Risk - All investments are in financial instruments in accordance with HUD regulations.
Treasury Bills and agency notes held by banks in the name of the Authority are fully guaranteed
by the federal government. Certificates of Deposit held in the name of the Authority are covered
by FDIC up to $250,000 and Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA) of the State of
New Jersey. The Authority does not have an investment policy that would further limit its
investment choices and it places no limit on the amount that can be invested with any one issuer.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS (continued)
The Authority’s investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule. Investments are made as a
prudent person would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence, to seek reasonable
income, preserve capital and, in general, avoid speculative investments.
Pursuant to the requirements of the accounting standard relating to fair value measurements, the
Authority has provided fair value disclosure information for relevant assets and liabilities in these
financial statements. There are three levels for fair value hierarchy. These levels are:
Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active
markets.
Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets,
quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and input
other than quoted prices that are observable instruments in the market.
Level 3 - Valuation is generated from mode-based techniques that use significant
assumptions not observable in the market.
The following table summarizes assets which have been accounted for at fair value on a recurring
basis as of December 31, 2017:
