HUDSON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS - (Continued)

The weighted average maturity of investments is 28 days.

The federal agency securities that underlie the District’s repurchase agreement are valued using quoted
market prices in markets that are not considered to be active, dealer quotations or alternative pricing
sources for similar assets or liabilities for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or
indirectly (Level 2 inputs).

Interest Rate Risk: As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest
rates and according to State law, the District’s investment policy limits investment portfolio maturities
to five years or less, unless matched to a specific obligation or debt of the District.

Credit Risk: The investments in the federal agency securities that underlie the District’s repurchase
agreement were rated AA+ and Aaa by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Services,
respectively. Standard & Poor’s has assigned STAR Ohio an AAAm money market rating. Ohio law
requires that STAR Ohio maintain the highest rating provided by at least one nationally recognized
standard rating service. The District’s investment policy does not specifically address credit risk
beyond requiring the District to only invest in securities authorized by State statute.

Custodial Credit Risk: For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Of the District’s investment in
repurchase agreements, the entire balance is collateralized by underlying securities that are held by the
investment’s counterparty, not in the name of the District. Ohio law requires the market value of the
securities subject to repurchase agreements must exceed the principal value of securities subject to a
repurchase agreement by 2%. The District has no investment policy dealing with investment custodial
risk beyond the requirement in State statute that prohibits payment for investments prior to the delivery
of the securities representing such investments to the treasurer or qualified trustee.

Concentration of Credit Risk: The District places no limit on the amount that may be invested in any
one issuer. The following table includes the percentage of each investment type held at June 30, 2017:

Measurement/ Measurement
Investment type Value % of Total
Fair value:
