The Statute requires that the Stadium District receive an independent financial audit of the accounts and records of the Stadium District within 120 days of the June 30 fiscal year end. CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP, a certified public accounting firm, has audited the Stadium District’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 and issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion. The audit was conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted governmental auditing standards; the Independent Auditors’ Report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report. Management of the Stadium District has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the Stadium District’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Stadium District’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Stadium District’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from any material misstatement. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’ report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complement this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT The Stadium District was formed in accordance with ARS §48-4202.A. through action of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in September 1991. The Stadium District has a Board of Directors consisting of the five members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The County Manager serves as the Executive Director of the Stadium District. The Stadium District is located in the central portion of the State of Arizona and has the same boundaries as Maricopa County. The District’s boundaries encompass the Greater Metropolitan Phoenix (GMPA) area. The GMPA includes the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, Goodyear, Surprise, Chandler and the town of Paradise Valley. The Stadium District is staffed with three staff members and the Executive Director Representative as shown on the List of Principal Officials. (1) From the Stadium District’s inception through 1996, the Stadium District provided funds for building or renovating seven Cactus League baseball spring training facilities. On February 17, 1994, the Stadium District entered into an agreement with the Arizona Professional Baseball Team Limited Partnership to finance a portion of the acquisition cost and construction for a new major league baseball stadium currently known as Chase Field. The Stadium District owns Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, which opened in 1998 under the name Bank One Ballpark. Bank One was bought by JPMorgan Chase. In the fall of 2005, the name of the ballpark was changed to Chase Field. The Stadium District is a component unit of Maricopa County. The Stadium District’s financial information is included in the Maricopa County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The annual operating budget serves as the foundation for the Stadium District’s financial planning and control. The Stadium District is required by ARS §48-4232 to annually prepare and adopt a balanced budget. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual operating budget approved by the Board of Directors not later than June 30 each year. Arizona law further requires that no expenditure shall be made or liability incurred in excess of the amounts budgeted except as provided by law, however, expenditures can be transferred between line items within a fund without seeking Board approval. The level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is the fund level; however, the Board of Directors may amend the budget upon a finding of good cause. A schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance (budget and actual) is provided in this report for the Chase Field General Fund, Cactus League Special Revenue Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund. ECONOMIC CONDITION Maricopa County Stadium District’s primary revenue source for Stadium District operations and capital maintenance of Chase Field is the use of Chase Field. The Stadium District generates revenue through use agreements with the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Stadium District’s Booking Manager, Select Artists’ Associates/SMG. These agreements provide base levels of revenue plus additional revenues which increase/decrease with ticket prices or attendance. Fiscal year 2015 saw a 2.3% increase in revenues from the Arizona Diamondbacks resulting from a 2.9% ticket price increase along with a 2.9% decline in attendance. Maricopa County Stadium District’s primary revenue source for Cactus League purposes and Bond repayment is the Auto Rental Surcharge of $2.50 per rental car contract. This revenue is dependent entirely on the number of autos rented within the Stadium District boundaries (Maricopa County). Fiscal year 2015 saw an overall 7.7% decrease in Car Rental Surcharge revenue primarily due to a four year overpayment audit adjustment conducted by the State of Arizona Treasurer. If the audit adjustment had not occurred the overall decrease would have been 3.5%. According to the Cronkite News April Issue “the most recent study conducted on behalf of the state showed moderate, but sustained, improvement in travel trends”. Based on the FY 2015 decrease it is expected that Auto Rental Surcharge revenue will remain steady during fiscal year 2016. (2) The Stadium District revenues are impacted by the contracts with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Stadium District Booking Manager as well as visitors to the Valley who are renting autos. As noted above, the contracts for use of the Stadium are based on fixed amounts with increases/decreases based on ticket prices and attendance. According to the Second Quarter 2015 Forecast Update by George W. Hammond, Ph.D. Director and Research Professor at the Economic & Business Research Center “Arizona remains on a modest growth track…” Based on the above forecast revenues were budgeted conservatively for fiscal 2016. Chase Field is a cornerstone of downtown Phoenix. The building of the ballpark was one of the catalysts for revitalization of the downtown area. The Downtown area continues to see an influx of many unique and diverse restaurants. The Stadium District can handle multi-sized events such as meetings, trade shows, banquets and concerts drawing 40,000+ attendees. The Stadium District has been used for such events as holiday parties by local corporations, galas by organizations hosting conferences at the Phoenix Convention Center and graduations hosted by local universities and colleges. Revenue generated by these events is used to make capital repairs and improvements to the ballpark and for Stadium District operations. FINANCIAL POLICIES It is the Board of Directors’ strategic goal to establish a fiscally prudent, balanced budget annually. This goal is evidenced in the consistency of the Stadium District’s budget from year-to-year. Generally about 5% of the Stadium District’s budget is for operations such as staffing. Changes to the Stadium District budget from year to year are the result of major maintenance or capital projects which vary depending on the needs of the Stadium. A major portion of the budget is committed to payments on the outstanding bonds which were used to fund Cactus League facilities. The construction of the ballpark was primarily funded by a ¼ of 1 percent sales tax which ended in November 1997, five months prior to the opening of the ballpark. Since that time, all Stadium District operations, major maintenance projects and capital improvements to the facility have been funded through charges for use of the ballpark. It is anticipated that all future capital repairs or improvements will be funded through charges for use of the ballpark. Long-Term Financial Planning As owner of Chase Field, the Stadium District’s strategic plan focuses on the use and capital needs of the ballpark. The Stadium District’s goals include increasing the use of the ballpark as well as generating revenue to build the necessary reserves for future capital improvements to the ballpark. The Stadium District is in a unique position compared to many public stadiums; the Stadium District has no outstanding debt from the initial construction of the stadium. The Stadium District is now focused on funding financial reserves for future capital needs of the stadium and capital improvements to remain a state-of-the-art facility to accommodate future world class national and international sports or championship events. (3) Revenue in the Chase Field General Fund is based on long-term agreements with the Arizona Diamondbacks and from Stadium District Events held at the ballpark. The majority of revenues from the Team agreements are fixed amounts with inflationary/deflationary factors tied to ticket prices as well as a small portion based on baseball game attendance. Ticket prices for the 2015 season increased by 1.55%. A significant portion of the revenue from the 2015 season will be received by the Stadium District in December 2015 based on current agreements with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In addition, the booking manager for the Stadium District has entered into several multi-year agreements for events to be held at Chase Field. AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Maricopa County Stadium District for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. This was the eleventh consecutive year that the Stadium District has achieved this nationally prestigious award from GFOA. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the Stadium District had to publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR that satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for a 2015 certificate. The preparation of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire Stadium District staff that assisted and contributed in its preparation. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Board of Directors for their support in planning and overseeing the financial operations of the Stadium District in a responsible and progressive manner. .

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 opinions 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. 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 auditor considers internal control relevant to the District’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 District’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 opinions. An independent member of Nexia International (8) Board of Directors Maricopa County Stadium District Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Maricopa County Stadium District as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of a Matter During fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, Maricopa County Stadium District adopted GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and GASB Statement No 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment to GASB Statement No. 68. As a result of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 68, Maricopa County Stadium District reported a restatement for a change in accounting principle (see Note 8). Our auditors’ opinion was not modified with respect to the restatement. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management’s discussion and analysis, schedule of the Stadium District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability and contributions, and budget to actual statements for the General Fund and major special revenue funds on pages 11 - 18 and pages 44 - 46 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 opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Stadium District’s basic financial statements. The supplementary budget to actual statements for other major governmental funds and the introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. (9) Board of Directors Maricopa County Stadium District The supplementary budget to actual statements for other major governmental funds is 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 supplementary budget to actual statements for other major governmental funds is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 28, 2015, on our consideration of the Maricopa County Stadium District'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 result 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 District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. a CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Phoenix, Arizona September 28, 2015 (10) THIS PAGE BLANK REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION THIS PAGE BLANK MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 This section of the Maricopa County Stadium District’s (Stadium District) financial report presents a discussion and analysis of the Stadium District’s financial performance during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Please read it in conjunction with the Stadium District’s basic financial statements following this section. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS  The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Stadium District exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 by $268.6 million (net position). Of this amount, $260.1 million is invested in capital assets, $16.5 million is restricted, and unrestricted net position had a deficit balance of $8.0 million.  The Stadium District’s total net position decreased by $3.5 million primarily due to the annual recognition of depreciation and maintenance on the Stadium.  The Stadium District’s total long-term debt decreased by $3.3 million in comparison with the prior year due to principal payments on the Revenue Refunding Series, 2012 Bonds.  As of June 30, 2015, the governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $24.9 million, an increase of $1.8 million in comparison with the prior year. Of the combined fund balance, $4.6 million is restricted for Cactus League purposes, $4.3 million is restricted to fund Cactus League debt service and $7.6 million is restricted to fund future capital improvements to Chase Field.  At the end of the fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the Chase Field General Fund was $8.5 million, or 512% of total General Fund expenditures. Although the restricted fund balance in the Debt Service and Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve funds would be used to pay expenditures of these funds; when compared to total expenditures, the unassigned Chase Field General Fund fund’s balance is 99% of total governmental expenditures during the current fiscal year. OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Stadium District’s basic financial statements. The Stadium District’s basic financial statements comprise three components 1) Government-wide financial statements; 2) Fund financial statements; and 3) Notes to the financial statements. Required Supplementary Information is included in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements Government-wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Stadium District’s finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business. The accrual basis of accounting is used for the government-wide financial statements. The statement of net position presents information on all Stadium District assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflows, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Stadium District is improving or deteriorating. (11) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 The statement of activities presents information showing how net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., earned but unused vacation leave). Both of these government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Stadium District that are principally supported by Chase Field operations and auto rental surcharge revenues (governmental activities). The governmental activity of the Stadium District is culture and recreation. The Stadium District has no business-type activities. The Stadium District is a component unit of Maricopa County and is included as such in the County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The Stadium District has no component units. Fund Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements are groupings of related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Stadium District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate finance-related legal compliance. All of the funds of the Stadium District are governmental funds.  Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental funds financial statements use the modified accrual basis of accounting and focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the Stadium District’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Stadium District maintains four individual governmental funds, all of which are reported as major funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the Chase Field General Fund, Cactus League Special Revenue Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund. The Stadium District has no proprietary or fiduciary funds. (12) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 Notes to Basic Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found immediately following the basic financial statements. Required Supplementary Information Required supplementary information is presented for the Stadium District’s pension plan and budgetary schedules for Chase Field General Fund and Cactus League Special Revenue Fund. The Debt Service Fund and Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund budgetary schedules are presented as other supplementary information. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided to demonstrate compliance with the budgets. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the Stadium District, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $268.6 million at the close of the current fiscal year. The following table reflects the condensed statement of net position as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. Table A-1 Condensed Statement of Net Position (Restated) 2014 2015 Assets Current and Other Assets Capital Assets: Non-depreciable Depreciable (net) Total Assets $ 24,985,934 23,338,706 7.06% 35,608,005 224,477,781 285,071,720 35,608,005 232,917,156 291,863,867 0.00% -3.62% -2.33% 271,579 282,903 -4.00% Deferred Outflows of Resources $ Percent Change Liabilities Other Liabilities Long-Term Liabilities: Due Within One Year Due in More Than One Year Total Liabilities 86,296 215,908 -60.03% 3,346,827 13,193,345 16,626,468 3,272,002 16,552,406 20,040,316 2.29% -20.29% -17.03% Deferred Inflows of Resources 84,409 - 100.00% Net Position Net Investment in Capital Assets Restricted Unrestricted Total Net Position 260,085,786 16,477,713 (7,931,077) $ 268,632,422 (13) 268,525,161 16,077,822 (12,496,529) $ 272,106,454 -3.14% 2.49% -36.53% -1.28% MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 By far the largest portion of the Stadium District’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets, mainly Chase Field. The restricted net position represents net position restricted for Cactus League operations, debt service and capital outlay. The deficit balance for unrestricted net position is a result of the long-term bonds issued for Cactus League facilities while ownership of these facilities lies with the local government, rather than the Stadium District. Therefore the Stadium District statements show the liability for the long-term bonds issued, but not the asset constructed with the bond proceeds. The entire amount of debt to be repaid over time is presented on the Statement of Net Position, while the revenue to repay the debt, from auto rental surcharge collections, will be presented on the Statement of Activities in the year it is collected. The Stadium District uses the capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. The Stadium District’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt; however, the Stadium District does not report any related debt. The decrease of $3.5 million in Stadium District net position is primarily due to ongoing repair and maintenance projects as well as a decline in auto surcharge revenue. The following table indicates the changes in net position for governmental activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Table A-2 Condensed Statement of Activities 2014 2015 REVENUES Program Revenues: Charges for Services Capital Grants and Contributions General Revenues: Auto Surcharge Tax Investment Earnings (Loss) Other Total Revenues $ EXPENSES Culture and Recreation Interest on Long-Term Debt Total Expenses CHANGE IN NET POSITION 4,661,308 775,414 4,513,842 794,821 3.27% -2.44% 4,915,665 (29,644) 10,322,743 5,394,706 56,819 75,000 10,835,188 -8.88% -152.17% -100.00% -4.73% 13,311,717 485,058 13,796,775 15,016,795 557,127 15,573,922 -11.35% -12.94% -11.41% (3,474,032) Net Position - Beginning of Year, As Restated NET POSITION - END OF YEAR 272,106,454 $ 268,632,422 Total revenues decreased $512,445 or 4.7%.

Total expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 11.4%.  Culture and recreation expenses decreased by $1.7 million, or 11.4%, primarily as a result of a decline in repair and maintenance projects. Interest on long-term debt decreased $72,069 or 12.9% due to the decline in interest related to the Stadium District’s outstanding bond. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE STADIUM DISTRICT’S FUNDS As noted earlier, the Stadium District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental Funds – The general government functions are contained in the Chase Field General, Cactus League Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Chase Field Capital Project Reserve Funds. The focus of the Stadium District’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Stadium District’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The Chase Field General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Stadium District. At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund balance was $8.5 million. As a measure of liquidity, it may be useful to compare fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 512% of total Chase Field General Fund expenditures. During the current fiscal year the fund balance of the Stadium District’s Chase Field General Fund increased by $1.4 million. This increase was due to savings realized from the prior year’s payment in full of commitments payable to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cactus League Special Revenue Fund balance increased by $84,328 during the current fiscal year. This increase resulted primarily from a smaller payment to the Arizona Sports and Tourism agency. The Debt Service Fund balance decreased by $126,290. This change was primarily due to a decline in auto rental surcharge revenue. (15) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 The Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund balance increased $441,853. This increase was primarily due to the decline in repair and maintenance expenditures that were incurred during the current year, along with a greater transfer in from the General Fund based on the District operations agreement. The following table indicates the changes in fund balance for governmental funds for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Table A-3 Fund Balances Fund Chase Field General Fund Cactus League Special Revenue Fund Debt Service Fund Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund Balance $ 8,452,344 4,640,699 4,275,019 7,561,995 Increase (Decrease) From 2013-14 $ 1,370,774 84,328 (126,290) 441,853 BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS A schedule showing the original and final budget amounts compared to the Stadium District’s actual financial activity for the Chase Field General Fund is provided in this report as required supplementary information. The unfavorable variance of $234,208 in transfers out between the final budget and actual resulted from an additional transfer that needed to be made based on the Stadium District’s operations agreement and how that transfer is calculated based on prior year results. Additionally, the unfavorable balance of $53,928 between total budgeted revenues and actual revenues was due to a reduction in revenue received from Chase Field operations and a market adjustment to the Stadium District’s interest income. CAPITAL ASSETS The Stadium District’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities at year end amounted to $260.1 million. This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, and machinery and equipment. The total decrease in the Stadium District’s investment in capital assets for the current period was 3.1%, primarily due to depreciation expense incurred in the current year and no capital asset additions.

LONG-TERM DEBT ACTIVITY At the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Stadium District had total long-term debt outstanding of $16.0 million as compared to $19.3 million in the prior fiscal year. The 2012 Revenue Refunding Bonds are revenue bonds backed by the auto rental surcharge revenue. The 2012 Revenue Refunding Bonds were issued to refund all outstanding Cactus League debt in order to take advantage of favorable interest rates. For additional information, see the notes to the financial statements Note 7. Table A-5 Outstanding Long-term Debt Revenue Refunding Bonds 2015 2014 $ 16,010,000 $ 19,260,000 ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET  As a result of the forecasted moderate, but sustained, improvement in travel trends, Auto Rental Surcharge revenue for the FY 2015-2016 budget year has been set conservatively at the FY 2015 level. Many of the Stadium District’s revenues are related to use agreements, as opposed to property or sales taxes; therefore, operating revenues are expected to modestly increase.  Baseball ticket prices increased by 1.55% for the 2015 season. Many of the revenue sources that the Stadium District receives from the Diamondbacks are based on increases/decreases in ticket prices. A significant portion of the revenue from the 2015 season will be received by the Stadium District in December 2015. Based upon the modest increase in ticket prices as well as (17) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 the forecasted modest growth track for Arizona, revenues from the Diamondbacks has been budgeted conservatively.  To remain competitive with other venues in the area and present the ballpark as a state-of-the art facility, the District has budgeted $4,000,000 for major maintenance projects to take place during Fiscal Year 2016. All of these factors were considered in preparing the Stadium District’s budget for fiscal year 2015-16. The 2015-16 revenue budget is essentially the same as the 2014-15 budget with the exception of a modest increase in revenue related to ticket pricing and fees of $57,692.

However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. (8,439,375) Depreciation Expense Governmental funds report pension contributions as expenditures when made. However, in the Statement of Activities, pension expense is the cost of benefits earned, adjusted for member contributions, the recognition of changes in deferred outflows and inflows or resources related to pensions, and the investment experience. Pension Contributions Pension Expense 34,995 (36,504) (1,509) The issuance of long term debt (e.g. bonds) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the Stadium District’s accounting policies are described below. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Stadium District adopted GASB Statement No. 68 and GASB Statement No. 71. GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, both of which provide financial reporting guidance for reporting pension liabilities and expenses. A. Reporting Entity The Stadium District is a component unit of Maricopa County. Component units are legally separate entities for which the County is considered to be financially accountable. The Stadium District was formed through action of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in September 1991 pursuant to Title 48, Chapter 26, Arizona Revised Statutes (the “Act”). The Stadium District and the County have the same boundaries. The Stadium District may acquire land and construct, finance, furnish, maintain, improve, operate, market and promote the use of existing or proposed major league baseball spring training facilities or stadiums and other structures, utilities, roads, parking areas or buildings necessary for full use of the training facilities or stadiums for sports and other purposes. The Stadium District has authority to issue special obligation bonds for this purpose. The Stadium District has a Board of Directors consisting of the five members of the Maricopa County (the “County”) Board of Supervisors, with the County Manager serving as the Executive Director of the Stadium District. From the Stadium District’s inception through 1996, the Stadium District provided funds for building or renovating seven Cactus League facilities within the County. Fifteen major league baseball teams hold spring training games in the County as part of the Cactus League: California Angels, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, and Cincinnati Reds. (27) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A. Reporting Entity (Continued) The Stadium District owns Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, which opened in 1998. On February 17, 1994, the Stadium District entered into an agreement with the Arizona Professional Baseball Team Limited Partnership (the “Team”) to provide for the financing of a portion of the costs of acquisition and construction of a new major league baseball stadium. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) present financial information about the Stadium District as a whole. The reported information includes all of the activities of the Stadium District. For the most part, the effect of internal activity has been removed from these statements. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the Stadium District. Governmental activities normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, and are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The Stadium District does not have any business-type activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Sales taxes, auto rental surcharges and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Sales taxes and auto rental surcharges are recognized as revenues in the year in which the underlying exchange transaction occurs. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been met. As a general rule, the effect of internal activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements; however, the effect of interfund services provided and used between functions is reported as expenses and program revenues at amounts approximating their external exchange value. (28) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Fund Financial Statements Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Stadium District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. Compensated absences are recorded only when payment is due. Chase Field operations, auto rental surcharges and investment income associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Grants and similar awards are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been met. Receivables that will not be collected within the available period are also reported as deferred inflows of resources on the governmental fund financial statements. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Stadium District’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. All funds of the Stadium District are considered major. The Stadium District will report governmental fund balances as either nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned. The Stadium District can only commit funds through the Board of Directors (the highest level of decision making authority) by resolution and can only un-commit funds through the same procedure. Additionally, the Stadium District will report all General Fund ending balances as unassigned as they can be used for Stadium District operations allocated by the executive director. The Stadium District does not currently have a minimum fund balance policy or policy to assign funds and will not present any assigned fund balances. (29) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) The Stadium District reports the following major governmental funds: Major Governmental Funds Chase Field General Fund The Chase Field General Fund accounts for all resources used to finance Stadium District operations except those required to be accounted for in other funds and is considered the main operating fund. The Fund’s main revenue source is derived from use agreements with the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Stadium District’s Booking Manager, Select Artists’ Associates/SMG. Cactus League Special Revenue Fund The Cactus League Special Revenue Fund accounts for specific revenue resources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The Fund’s main revenue source for Cactus League purposes is the Auto Rental Surcharge of $2.50 per rental car contract. Debt Service Fund The Debt Service Fund accounts for resources accumulated for the payment of longterm debt principal, interest and related costs. The Fund’s main revenue source for Cactus League Bond repayment is the Auto Rental Surcharge of $2.50 per rental car contract. Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund The Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund is used to account for resources accumulated to fund future capital repairs in excess of $100,000 and to update, refurbish, repair or otherwise improve the facility. The Fund’s main revenue source is derived from use agreements with the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Stadium District’s Booking Manager, Select Artists’ Associates/SMG. D. Cash and Investments The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, cash and investments held by the State Treasurer, and investments. The District deposits certain cash with the County Treasurer. That cash is pooled for investment purposes. Interest earned from investments purchased with such pooled monies is allocated to each of the funds based on their average daily cash balances on a quarterly basis. All investments are stated at fair value. The District also has cash on deposit with a trustee to make principal and interest payments on their debt obligations. (30) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E. Investment Income Investment income is composed of interest, dividends, and net changes in the fair value of applicable investments. F. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year is referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” All receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles, as applicable. G. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land, buildings, and improvements; machinery and equipment, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Stadium District as assets with an initial, individual cost in excess of $5,000 and an estimated useful life of more than one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost, or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at the estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the life of the asset are not capitalized. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and Improvements Machinery and Equipment 20 – 50 Years 3 – 10 Years H. Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Deferred outflows of resources are a consumption of net position that are applicable to a future period. The Stadium District refunded bonds in Fiscal Year 2013 resulting in a deferred outflow of resources on that refunding. As such, they will be reported as a deferred outflow and amortized over the life of the bond. The Stadium District also reports a deferred outflow of resources for the difference between the expected and actual expenditures for its actuarially determined pension obligation which will be amortized over a five year period and the contributions made after the measurement date for the Stadium District’s pension. (31) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) H. Deferred Outflow and Deferred Inflow of Resources (Continued) The Stadium District recognizes the acquisition of net position that is applicable to a future reporting period as deferred inflows of resources. The deferred inflows of resources relate to the Stadium District’s pension plan. I. Compensated Absences The Stadium District’s employees’ leave plan generally provides for granting personal leave with pay. Accrued personal leave is earned by all permanent employees at various rates depending upon months of credited service. At year-end the liability for accumulated personal leave, including related benefits, is presented in the government-wide financial statements. Expenses/expenditures for compensated absences are recorded in the government-wide financial statements when the liability is incurred and in the fund financial statements when paid. Generally, resources from the Chase Field General Fund are used to pay for compensated absences. J. Long-term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities on the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straightline method over the term of the related debt. Bond issuance costs are recognized as an expense in the current period. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. K. Pension Plans For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) and additions to/deductions from ASRS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by ASRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. (32) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) L. Net Position In the government-wide financial statements, net position is reported in three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position. Net investment in capital assets is separately reported because capital assets make up a significant portion of total net position. Restricted net position accounts for the portion of net position restricted by parties outside the District. Unrestricted net position is the remaining net position not included in the previous two categories. M. Fund Equity In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non-spendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances. The Stadium District uses restricted funds first, then committed, assigned and unassigned. The Stadium District reports restricted fund balances for those funds that are restricted by an outside party. The Stadium District also reports unassigned fund balance in the Chase Field General Fund to be used for Stadium District operations. N. Interfund Activity Flows of cash from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers between governmental funds are eliminated in the Statement of Activities. Interfund transfers in the fund financial statements are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds. O. Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Budgetary Information The Stadium District is required by Arizona law to prepare and adopt a budget annually for the Chase Field General, Cactus League Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Chase Field Reserve Capital Projects Funds. Arizona law further requires that no expenditure shall be made or liability incurred in excess of the amounts budgeted except as provided by law. Budget amounts are reported as originally adopted and as amended by authorization from the Board of Directors. Appropriations lapse at year-end. The Stadium District budgets for governmental funds on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The plan is a component unit of the State of Arizona. At June 30, 2015, the Stadium District reported the following amounts related to the pension plan to which it contributes: Net Pension Assets Net Pension Liability Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred Inflows of Resources Pension Expense $ 482,696 70,428 84,409 36,504 Arizona State Retirement System Plan Descriptions – Stadium District employees participate in the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS). The ASRS administers a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan; a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit health insurance premium benefit (OPEB); and a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit long-term disability (OPEB). The Arizona State Retirement System Board governs the ASRS according to the provisions of A.R.S. Title 38, Chapter 5, Articles 2 and 2.1. The ASRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes its financial statements and required supplementary information. The report is available on its Web site at www.azasrs.gov. Benefits Provided – The ASRS provides retirement, health insurance premium supplement, long-term disability, and survivor benefits. State statute establishes benefit terms. Retirement benefits are calculated on the basis of age, average monthly compensation, and service credit as follows: Before July 1, 2011 Sum of years and age equals 80 10 years age 62 5 year age 50* any years age 65 On or After July 1, 2011 30 years age 55 25 years age 60 10 years age 62 5 years age 50* any years age 65 Final average salary is based on Highest 36 Months of last 120 months Highest 60 months of last 120 months Benefit percentage per year of service 2.1% to 2.3 % 2.1% to 2.3 % Years of service and age required to receive benefit * With actuarially reduced benefits (39) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 9 RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED) Arizona State Retirement System (Continued) Retirement benefits for members who joined the ASRS prior to September 13, 2013, are subject to automatic cost-of-living adjustments based on excess investment earnings. Members with a membership date on or after September 13, 2013, are not eligible for costof-living adjustments. Survivor benefits are payable upon a member’s death. For retired members, the survivor benefit is determined by the retirement benefit option chosen. For all other members, the beneficiary is entitled to the member’s account balance that includes the member’s contributions and employer’s contributions, plus interest earned. Contributions – In accordance with state statutes, annual actuarial valuations determine active member and employer contribution requirements. The combined active member and employer contribution rates are expected to finance the costs of benefits employees earn during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. For the year ended June 30, 2015, active ASRS members were required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 11.60 percent (11.48 percent for retirement and 0.12 percent for long-term disability) of the members’ annual covered payroll, and the Stadium District was required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 11.60 percent (10.89 percent for retirement, 0.59 percent for the health insurance premium benefit, and 0.12 percent for long-term disability) of the active members’ annual covered payroll. In addition, the Stadium District was required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 9.57 percent (9.51 percent for retirement and 0.06 percent for long-term disability) of annual covered payroll of retired members who worked for the Stadium District in positions that would typically be filled by an employee who contributes to the ASRS. The Stadium District’s contributions to the pension plan for the year ended June 30, 2015, were $34,995. The Stadium District’s contributions for the current and two preceding years for OPEB, all of which were equal to the required contributions, were as follows: Health Benefit Supplement Fund Year Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2013 $ 1,896 1,930 1,892 Long-Term Disability Fund $ 386 713 699 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Stadium District paid all ASRS pension and OPEB contributions out of the General Fund. Pension Liability – At June 30, 2015, the Stadium District reported a liability of $482,696 for its proportionate share of the ASRS’ net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2014. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined using update procedures to roll forward the total pension liability from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013, to the measurement date of June 30, 2014. (40) MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 9 RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED) Arizona State Retirement System (Continued) The Stadium District’s reported liability at June 30, 2015, decreased by $31,465 from the Stadium District’s prior year liability of $526,633 because of changes in the ASRS’ net pension liability and the Stadium District’s proportionate share of that liability. The ASRS’ publicly available financial report provides details on the change in the net pension liability. The Stadium District’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on the Stadium District’s FY 2014 contributions. The Stadium District’s proportion measured as of June 30, 2014, was 4.8576 percent, which was an increase of 0.1447 from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2013. Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources – For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Stadium District recognized pension expense for ASRS of $36,504. At June 30, 2015, the Stadium District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Differences between expected and actual experience Changes of assumptions or other inputs Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments Contributions subsequent to the measurement date Total Deferred Outflows of Resources $ 24,532 10,901 Deferred Inflows of Resources $ - - $ 34,995 70,428 84,409 $ 84,409 The $34,995 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to ASRS pensions resulting from the Stadium District contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2016. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to ASRS pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended June 30, 2016 2017 2018 2019 $ (41) 5,697 5,697 16,481 21,101 MARICOPA COUNTY STADIUM DISTRICT (A COMPONENT UNIT OF MARICOPA COUNTY) NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 NOTE 9 RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED) Arizona State Retirement System (Continued) Actuarial Assumptions – The significant actuarial assumptions used to measure the total pension liability are as follows: Actuarial Valuation Date Actuarial Roll Forward Date Actuarial Cost Method Investment Rate of Return Projected Salary Increases Inflation Permanent Benefit Increase Mortality Rates June 30, 2013 June 30, 2014 Entry Age Normal 8% 3 - 6.75% 3% Included 1994 GAM Scale BB Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial study for the 5-year period ended June 30, 2012. The long-term expected rate of return on ASRS pension plan investments was determined to be 8.79 percent using a building block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Target Allocation 63% 25% 8% 4% 100% Asset Class Equity Fixed Income Real Estate Commodities Total Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return 7.03% 3.20% 4.75% 4.50% Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the ASRS total pension liability was 8 percent, which is less than the long-term expected rate of return of 8.79 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from participating employers will be made based on the actuarially determined rates based on the ASRS Board’s funding policy, which establishes the contractually required rate under Arizona statutes. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
