General Notes
(a) Each actual or estimated Public Investment reported here is, to the extent possible, comprised only of payments financed by tax increment revenues. In contrast, each actual or estimated Private Investment reported here is, to the extent possible, comprised of payments financed by revenues that are not tax increment revenues and, therefore, may include private equity, private lender financing, private grants, other public monies, or other local, state or federal grants or loans.
(b) Each amount reported here under Public Investment Undertaken, Total Estimated to Complete Project, is the maximum amount of payments financed by tax increment revenues that could be made pursuant to the corresponding Project's operating documents, but not including interest that may later be payable on developer notes, and may not necessarily reflect actual expenditures, if any, as reported in Section 3 herein. The total public investment amount ultimately made under each Project will depend upon the future occurrence of various conditions, including interest that may be payable on developer notes as set forth in the Project's operating documents.
(c) Each amount reported here under Public Investment Undertaken, 11/1/1999 to Date, is cumulative from the Date of execution ofthe corresponding Project to the end of the reporting year, and may include interest amounts paid to finance Ihe Public Investment amount. Projects undertaken prior to 11/1/1999 are not reported on this table.
(d) Intergovernmental agreements, if any, are reported on Attachment M hereto.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Honorable Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Members of the City Council City of Chicago, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Western Avenue North Redevelopment Project of the City of Chicago, Illinois, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Chicago's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Western Avenue North Redevelopment Project and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City of Chicago, Illinois, as of December 31, 2010, and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Western Avenue North Redevelopment Project of the City of Chicago, Illinois, as of December 31, 2010, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 3 through 5 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
 
The Honorable Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Members of the City Council
-2-
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of expenditures by statutory code on page 11, which is also the responsibility of the City of Chicago's management, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of Western Avenue North Redevelopment Project of the City of Chicago, Illinois. Such additional information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF CHICAGO. ILLINOIS WESTERN AVENUE NORTH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
As management of the Western Avenue North Tax Increment Redevelopment Project Area (Project), we offer the readers of the Project's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the Project's financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2010. Please read it in conjunction with the Project's financial statements, which follow this section.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Project's basic financial statements. The Project's basic financial statements include three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) governmental fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information concerning the Project's expenditures by statutory code.
Basic Financial Statements
The basic financial statements include two kinds of financial statements that present different views of the Project - the Government-Wide Financial Statements and the Governmental Fund Financial Statements. These financial statements also include the notes to the financial statements that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detail.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the Project's financial status and use accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net assets includes all of the project's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid. The two government-wide statements report the Project's net assets and how they have changed. Net assets - the difference between the Project's assets and liabilities - is one way to measure the Project's financial health, or position.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
The governmental fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the Project's significant funds - not the Project as a whole. Governmental funds focus on: 1) how cash and other financial assets can readily be converted to cash flows and 2) the year-end balances that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps determine whether there are more financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the Project. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, we provide additional information at the bottom of the statements to explain the relationship (or differences) between them.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and governmental fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements follow the basic financial statements.
Other Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents a schedule of expenditures by statutory code. This supplementary information follows the notes to the financial statements.
Condensed Comparative Financial Statements
The condensed comparative financial statements are presented on the following page. Analysis of Overall Financial Position and Results of Operations
Property tax revenue for the Project was $6,749,992 for the year. This was an increase of 41 percent over the prior year. The change in net assets (including operating transfers out) produced an increase in net assets of $4,985,432. The Project's net assets increased by 31 percent from the prior year making available $20,914,519 of funding to be provided for purposes of future redevelopment in the Project's designated area.

CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS WESTERN AVENUE NORTH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Reporting Entity
In January 2000, the City of Chicago (City) established the Western Avenue North Tax Increment Redevelopment Project Area (Project). The area has been established to finance improvements, leverage private investment and create and retain jobs. The Project is accounted for within the capital projects and special revenue funds of the City.
(b) Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements of the Project have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). In June 1999, the GASB unanimously approved Statement No. 34 (as amended by Statement No. 37), Basic Financial Statements - Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments and at a later date, Statement No. 38 Certain Financial Statements Disclosures, and include the following:
A Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section providing an analysis of the Project's overall financial position and results of operations.
Government-wide  financial  statements  prepared   using  the  economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting for all the Project's activities. Fund financial statements, which focus on the Project's governmental funds current financial resources measurement focus.
(c) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statements Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using 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. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied.
The governmental fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting with only current assets and liabilities included on the balance sheet. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available to finance expenditures ofthe current period. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Property taxes are susceptible to accrual and recognized as a receivable in the year levied. Revenue recognition is deferred unless the taxes are received within 60 days subsequent to year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in government-wide financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The City has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources, as they are needed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Concluded)
The preparation of 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
(d) Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets Cash and Investments
Cash belonging to the City is generally deposited with the City Treasurer as required by the Municipal Code of Chicago. The City Comptroller issues warrants for authorized City expenditures which represent a claim for payment when presented to the City Treasurer. Payment for all City warrants clearing is made by checks drawn on the City's various operating bank accounts.
The City Treasurer and City Comptroller share responsibility for investing in authorized investments. Interest earned on pooled investments is allocated to participating funds based upon their average combined cash and investment balances.
The City values its investments at fair value or amortized cost. U.S. Government securities purchased at a price other than par with a maturity of less than one year are reported at amortized cost.
Capital Assefs
Capital assets are not capitalized in the governmental funds but, instead, are charged as current expenditures when purchased. The Government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) of the City includes the capital assets and related depreciation, if any, of the Project in which ownership of the capital asset will remain with the City (i.e. infrastructure, or municipal building). All other construction will be expensed in both the government-wide financial statements and the governmental funds as the City nor Project will retain the right of ownership.
(e) Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
Illinois Tax Increment Redevelopment Allocation Act Compliance
The Project's expenditures include reimbursements for various eligible costs as described in subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3 of the Illinois Tax Increment Redevelopment Allocation Act and the Redevelopment Agreement relating specifically to the Project. Eligible costs include but are not limited to survey, property assembly, rehabilitation, public infrastructure, financing and relocation costs.
Reimbursements
Reimbursements, if any, are made to the developer for project costs, as public improvements are completed and pass City inspection.
