FINANCIAL SECTION<br />

The accounting standards, namely GASB Statement No. 53, “Accounting and <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Report</strong>ing <strong>for</strong> Derivative Instruments”<br />

(“GASB 53”), require governments to record derivative instruments on the Statement of Net Position as either assets or<br />

liabilities, depending on the fair value of the derivative. <strong>Omnitrans</strong>’ gas hedging contracts are an effective hedge, thus<br />

gains and losses are deferred on the Statement of Net Position as either current credits or charges <strong>for</strong> contracts with under<br />

12 months remaining until expiration, or as long-term <strong>for</strong> contracts with over 12 months remaining until expiration. A deferred<br />

inflow of resources has also been recorded on the Statement of Net Position reflecting the deferred inflow associated with the<br />

derivative financial instrument.<br />

In January <strong>2012</strong>, <strong>Omnitrans</strong> entered into an agreement with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney <strong>for</strong> brokerage services <strong>for</strong><br />

transactions to be executed in <strong>Omnitrans</strong>’ name on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The objective of the<br />

brokerage agreement is to achieve cost certainty <strong>for</strong> deliveries of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) based on hedging activity<br />

of LNG futures contracts traded openly on the NYMEX.<br />

The name of the derivative traded openly on the NYMEX is the Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures Basket (Futures Basket) and<br />

it has an effective date of January 17, <strong>2012</strong> and a maturity date of May 29, 2014. As required by the brokerage agreement<br />

with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, <strong>Omnitrans</strong> deposited $175,000 into a margin account to initiate the derivative.<br />
