Notes: The State did not begin reporting government-wide statements until it implement GASB Statement 34 in fiscal year 2002. The governmental activities have a deficit in unrestricted net asset mainly because the State recognized in the Statement of Net Assets the following long-term obligations:
1. General obligation bonds which were issued to finance various grant programs of the State, such as school construction and municipal aid.
2. Other long-term obligations which the State has partially funded or not funded. For example, net pension obligation, compensated absences obligation, etc.
