December 31, 2004 To the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors of the San Mateo County Transit District and the Citizens of San Mateo County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Year Ended June 30, 2004 We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the San Mateo County Transit District (the "District") for the fiscal year July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. This transmittal letter provides a summary of the District’s finances, services, achievements and economic prospects for readers without a technical background in accounting or finance. Readers desiring a more detailed discussion of the District's financial results may refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis portion of the Financial Section. Management assumes sole responsibility for all the information contained in this report, including its presentation and the adequacy of its disclosures. To the best of our knowledge, we believe this report to be complete and reliable in all material respects. To provide a reasonable basis for making this representation, we have established a comprehensive system of internal controls designed to protect the District's assets from loss, to identify and record transactions accurately and to compile the information necessary to produce financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not exceed the likely benefits, the District's internal control system intends to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. To test the performance of the internal control system, the District contracted for independent auditing services. Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Company, LLP, a certified public accounting firm, expressed an opinion that the District’s financial statements are fairly stated and in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This conclusion is the most favorable kind and is commonly known as an “unqualified” or “clean” opinion. PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION Purpose The San Mateo County Transit District is an independent political subdivision of the State of California formed by the California State Legislature on August 14, 1974 and approved by county voters in the following general election. The County of San Mateo (the “County”) is located on a peninsula south of the City and County of San Francisco, bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by San Francisco Bay and on the south by the counties of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. 1250 San Carlos Avenue - P.O. Box 3006, San Carlos, California 94070-1306 (650) 508-6200 SAN MATEO COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2004 The overall purpose of the District is to plan, develop, finance, and operate a modern, coordinated system of transportation that offers access to the many opportunities of San Mateo County, allows effective connections to other transportation services in the San Francisco Bay Area and promotes sound growth and economic development for both the County and the region. The District provides bus transit services throughout San Mateo County, north into downtown San Francisco, and south to Palo Alto in Santa Clara County. There is no other organization within San Mateo County with a similar scope of public transportation service. Entity While the District administers various activities on behalf of other agencies, such as the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, these agencies have their own separate corporate identity and governance and they are not component units of the District. Likewise, the District itself is legally separate and financially independent and is not a component unit of the County of San Mateo or any other entity. Therefore, this comprehensive annual financial report and the financial statements contained within represent solely the activities, transactions and status of San Mateo County Transit District.
