Board of Directors Hazleton City Authority:

We have audited the accompanying combining statement of net assets (deficit) of the business-type activities of the Hazleton City Authority-Water Department and Industrial Division (the "Authority") as of March 31, 2011, with comparative totals for 2010, and the related combining statement of activities and changes in net assets (deficit) and the combining statement of cash flows for the year then ended which collectively comprise the Authority's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These combining financial statements are the responsibility of the Authority's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combining 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. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combining financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combining financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combining financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combining financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the business-type activities of the Hazleton City Authority-Water Department and Industrial Division as of March 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Page 5: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 7, 2012, on our consideration of the Authority's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, 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 results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis, schedules of changes in Trust Fund Balances Restricted Assets and budgetary comparison information on pages 6 through 12 and 40 through 46 to 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.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combining financial statements of the Authority taken as a whole. The additional information presented on pages 40 through 46 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Pro fit Organizations and is also not a required part of the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the combining financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing, and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combining financial statements or to the combining financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the combining financial statements taken as a whole.

Page 6: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

In connection with our audit, we became aware that the Authority was considered in technical default of the terms, covenants, provisions, or conditions of the trust indenture dated December 15, 1992 and the amended, restated, and supplemental trust indentures dated November 12, 1996, January 28, 1999, December 19, 2001, August 21, 2002 and January 5, 2006 securing the bond issues, we are not aware of any adverse consequences that the technical default will have on the Authority, nor has the bond Trustee made us aware of any other issues surrounding the noncompliance. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance.

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY

MANAGEMENT'S DiscussioN AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)

BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This annual report consists of a series of combining financial statements. The Combining Statement of Net Assets (Deficit) and Combining Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets (Deficit) (on pages 13 through 15) provide information about the activities of the Authority as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Authority's finances. The Combining Statement of Cash Flows (on pages 16 and 17) presents the cash inflows and outflows of the Authority for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The remaining information on pages 40-45 is additional information that the Board of Directors has determined is necessary to understand the operations of the Authority. This additional information is not a required part of the basic combining financial statements.

The Combining Statement of Net Assets (Deficit) and Combining Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets (Deficit) report the Authority's combining net assets and changes in them. You can think of the Authority's combining net assets, (the difference between assets and liabilities), as one way to measure the Authority's financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Authority's net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other non-financial factors; however, such as changes in the Authority's customer base and the condition of the Authority's potable water delivery system, to assess the overall health of the Authority.

Our analysis of the Authority as a whole begins on page 8. One of the most important questions asked about the Authority's finances is, "Is the Authority as a whole better off or worse off as a result of the year's activities?" The Combining Statement of Net Assets (Deficit) and the Combining Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets (Deficit) report information about the Authority as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.

WE

Page 8: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

In the Statement of Net Assets (Deficit) and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets (Deficit), we divide the Authority into two kinds of business-type activities:

• Water Department - The Authority charges a water usage fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of services it provides.

• Industrial Division - The Authority began charging customers located in the City of Hazleton in January 2011 for residential waste and recyclable collections in connection with a Master Services Agreement with the City of Hazleton. The charges are to help the Authority cover all or most of the cost of services it provides.

The Authority charges customers for the services it provides using the same accounting principles as any other private sector business activity. The accounting records are maintained on the accrual basis. Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recorded at the time they are incurred.

CAPITAL ASSETS

At the end of 2011, the Authority had approximately $69.5 million invested in capital assets, which is net of $30.1 million in accumulated depreciation. There was approximately $260,000 of capital assets placed in service and approximately $11.3 million of additions to construction in progress in 2011. The major additions for the current year are approximately, $1,955,877, McKinley Street property, $817,086, Locust Street main improvement, $1,650,307, Derringer/Fern Glen main replacement and $5,706,825, Broad Street Corridor Project.

DEBT

As of March 31, 2011 the Authority had $6,020,000 of Water Revenue bonds outstanding. The last bond issue was 2006 and was used to refinance the existing bonds. In addition, long-term debt also includes notes payable to PennVest in the amount of $12,752,313, and a note payable to PNC Bank N.A. in the amount of $3866855 and two notes payable to Landmark Community Bank in the amount of $2,850,800.

BUDGET INFORMATION

The Authority's Board of Directors considers many factors when setting the fiscal-year budget and fees that will be charged for water services. One of those factors is the general economic condition of the service area. Another factor is the requirements of the Trust and Indenture securing the Water Revenue Bonds and the PennVest loans. The Authority is required to comply with certain financial covenants and during the budget process; these covenants are factored into the determination of whether or not there will be a water rate increase.

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY

NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND REPORTING ENTITY

The Hazleton City Authority (the 'Authority") is a body corporate and politic incorporated by ordinance of the City of Hazleton, Pennsylvania and resolution of the Authority on October 18, 1938. The Authority exists and operates under the Municipality Authorities Act of 1945 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Authority is comprised of two divisions, the Water Department and the Industrial Division.

The Water Department's water supply system presently serves the southern part of Luzerne County, and parts of Carbon and Schuylkill counties. The Authority's service area covers approximately sixty square miles of land, and serves approximately 15,000 customers.

The Industrial Division began garbage collection services for residents of the City of Hazleton in January 2011 and serves approximately 10,300 customers.

The Board of Directors of the Authority is composed of five members appointed by Council of the City of Hazleton, although such appointment is not authoritative. The Board is responsible for managing the business of the Authority.

The Government Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") has developed criteria to determine what constitutes state and local governmental entities for financial reporting purposes. The GASB concluded in Statement 39, that the basic criterion for including a governmental department, agency, institution, commission, public authority or other governmental organization as a component unit in the governmental unit's reporting entity for combined financial statements is the financial accountability over such agencies by the governmental unit's elected officials. Financially accountable embraces such factors as selection of governing authority, ability to significantly influence operations, and financial dependency.

Based upon the above, the Authority is the reporting entity.

Page 20: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND MEASUREMENT Focus

The Authority's combined financial statements are presented using the economic measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as prescribed by GASB. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when liability is incurred regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. The Authority has elected under GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Activities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as any applicable pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Accounting Principles Board, or any Accounting Research Bulletins issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless these pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.

OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES

Operating revenues and expenses consist of those that result from the ongoing principal operations of the Authority. Operating revenues consist primarily of charges for services. Nonoperating revenues and expenses consist of those revenues and expenses that are related to financing and investing type of activities and result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. When an expense is incurred for purposes for which there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available, it is the Authority's policy to apply those expenses to restricted net assets to the extent such are available and then to unrestricted net assets.

BUDGET AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING

The Authority follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the additional information:

An operating budget for the Water Department and one for the Industrial Division are utilized as a management control device during the year. The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors of the Authority adopts a budget, which is reviewed by the consulting engineer and submitted to the trustee as required by the trust indenture.

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RESTRICTED ASSETS - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND U. S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS

The restricted assets of the Authority are limited by the applicable bond covenants of the trust indenture dated as of December 15, 1992 as supplemented by the Supplemental Trust Indenture dated as of November 12, 1996, the Third Supplemental Trust Indenture dated December 19, 2001, the Fourth Supplemental Trust Indenture dated August 21, 2002 and the Fifth Supplemental Trust Indenture dated January 5, 2006.

All revenues of the Water Department are deposited into the revenue fund of the trustee. The trustee applies the funds deposited into the revenue fund and to the other funds as required by the above-mentioned trust indenture.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. Accounts are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible based upon management's assessment of individual accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based upon the Authority's historical losses and periodic review of individual accounts and is $850,000 for water customers and $734,640 for garbage customers at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2010 the allowance was $722,000 for water customers. Garbage collection services began in 2011.

UNBILLED REVENUES

Unbilled revenues are recorded for water usage by customers that have not been billed at fiscal year-end and for the January 2011 billings for garbage customers due to the timing of the conversion from the City to the Authority. The unbilled garbage was subsequently billed out over a four month period in the next fiscal year.

MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

Materials and supplies consist of chemicals, related supplies and miscellaneous parts which are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in first-out basis.

Page 22: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized and routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis at rates based on the estimated service lives of the various classes of property as follows:

CLASS OF PROPERTY YEARS

Collecting and impounding reservoirs 100 Mains 100 Building and structures - Water Department 75 Hydrants 66 Distribution reservoirs and standpipes 60 Wells and springs 50 Services 50 Meters 40 Water treatment equipment 33 Pumping equipment 30 Office furniture and equipment 25 Laboratory equipment 20 Tools, shop and garage equipment 10 Other equipment 10 Transportation 8

Depreciation in the amount of $1,447,535 has been recorded for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Capitalized interest for the year ended March 31, 2011 total $97,521.

DEPRECIATION - CONTRIBUTIONS AND GRANTS IN AID OF CONSTRUCTION

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis at rates based on the estimated service lives of the assets contributed to the Authority in the same manner as described in the preceding paragraph, with depreciation expense included in operating expenses.

Page 23: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Accounting Standards Codification Section 360-10-55, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, ("ASC 360-10-55"), requires that long-lived assets, including property and equipment, be reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Authority continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining carrying amount may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that such assets should be evaluated, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets are compared to the assets' carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary. At March 31, 2011, based on management's evaluation, a charge for impairment of the Accounts Receivable related to the trash operations was necessary to write-down the balance to fair value. The impairment loss of $99,785 is included in the provision for uncollectible accounts and deposits. A charge for impairment was not considered necessary at March 31, 2010.

NET ASSETS

The Authority maintains the following net asset classifications:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and outstanding principal balances of debt attributable to the acquisition, repair or improvement of those assets.

Restricted: Net assets whose use is subject to externally imposed conditions that can be fulfilled by the actions of the Authority or by the passage of time.

Unrestricted: All other categories of net assets. Unrestricted net assets may be designated for specific purposes by the Authority's Board of Directors.

DEFERRED CHARGES - BOND ISSUANCE COSTS

Unamortized bond issue costs of $194,363 have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. Amortization expense was $19,888 and accumulated amortization was $132,283 for the year ended March 31, 2011.

-22-

Page 24: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

LAND MANAGEMENT FEE

The Authority has an agreement by which the City of Hazleton will provide land management services on the undeveloped watershed lands owned by the Authority for a term of ten years. In consideration of the services to be provided which includes a land management plan for all of the land owned by the Authority, the Authority paid $200,000 to the City and has recognized $20,000 of amortization expense in the accompanying Combining Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets (Deficit). In addition, any net revenues received by the City from timbering operations will be split evenly between the Authority and the City. The balance was fully amortized March 31, 2011.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The Authority considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS

The Authority follows the Municipal Authorities in Pennsylvania Guide (the "Guide') for investment of Authority funds.

Authorized types of investments for Authority funds shall be:

e. Shares of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that the only investments of that company are in the authorized investments for Authority funds listed.

f. Any investment authorized by 53 Pa. C.S. Ch. 8224 (relating to local governments) shall be an authorized investment for any sinking fund.

In making investment of Authority funds, the Board shall have authority: To combine funds from more than one Authority fund in order to purchase a single investment, to join with one or more political subdivisions and municipal authorities for the purchase of a single investment provided that appropriate separate accounting requirements are followed, to be pooled in accordance with the act of August 6, 1971 (P.L. 281, No. 72), relating to pledges of assets to secure deposits of public funds.

The Guide places no limit on the amount the Authority may invest in any one issuer.

Total $3,001,420

9. PENSION PLAN

The Hazleton City Authority Water Department Pension Plan (the "Plan') is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Authority. The Plan provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Pennsylvania Act 205 of 1984, the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (as amended) (Act 205) requires that annual contributions be based upon the Minimum Municipal Obligation ("MMO"), which is based on the plan's annual actuarial valuation. The MMO includes the normal cost, estimated administrative expenses and an amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability less estimated member contributions. The Commonwealth provides an allocation of funds which must be used for pension funding. Any financial requirements established by the MMO which exceeds Commonwealth and member contributions must be funded by the Authority.

Contributions are governed by the Plan's governing ordinances and collective bargaining agreements. Administrative costs, which may include but are not limited to, investment management fees and actuarial services, are charged to the Plan and funded through the MMO and/or investment earnings.

Page 37: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNUAL PENSION COST

For the year ended March 31, 2011 the Authority's annual pension cost was $181,450. The cost included the required minimum contributions as well as administrative expenses and amortization of unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability.

The annual pension cost for the year ended March 31, 2011 was determined as part of the January 1, 2009 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and (b) no projected salary increases. The actuarial value of assets was determined using the market value as determined by the Trustee. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized over a fifteen year period with the remaining amortization period at March 31, 2011 was 13 years.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Authority is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, damage to and destruction of assets, errors and omission, employee injuries and natural disasters. The Authority has purchased commercial insurance for all these risks. There have not been significant reductions in insurance coverage for any major categories of risk compared to coverage in the prior year.

GRANT PROGRAM

The Authority received a grant for upgrades to the Pardeesville Water System from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The grant is governed by various rules and regulations of the grantor agency. Costs charged to the respective grant program are subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor agency; therefore, to the extent that the Authority has not complied with the rules and regulations governing the grant, refunds of any money received may be required and the collectability of any related receivable at March 31, 2011 may be impaired. In the opinion of the Authority, there are no significant contingent liabilities relating to compliance with the rules and regulations governing the respective grant; therefore, no provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for such contingencies.

-36-

Page 38: HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY COMBINING FINANCIAL …

HAZLETON CITY AUTHORITY NOTES To COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

LITIGATION

The Authority is the defendant in lawsuits arising principally in the normal course of operations. In the opinion of the Authority, the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a materially adverse effect on the accompanying financial statements; and accordingly, no provision for losses has been recorded.

SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Authority's operations are located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The Authority assesses residents within its service area, based upon usage, connection and assessment charges. The ability of each of the Authority's customers to honor their obligations to the Authority is dependent upon economic and other factors affecting the customers.

UNION CONTRACT

The Authority employs various employees under an agreement with the United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC, union. The agreement became effective April 1, 2009 and continues until March 31, 2014.

WATER SERVICES AGREEMENT

On February 26, 2009 the Authority entered into a Water Services Agreement with the Greater Hazleton Community Area New Development Organization, Inc. ("CAN DO") to supply water and service to CAN DO's Humboldt Industrial Park. The agreement obligates CAN DO to "take or pay' for 200,000 gallons of water per day based on a monthly average of water at the Authorities current rate schedule. The agreement runs for a term of twenty-five years and can be revisited on each five year anniversary date for mutually acceptable discussion restatement or amendment. During the first ten years from the date of signing, if CAN DO terminates the agreement the Authority will receive a penalty in the amount of $1,500,000. The agreement will renew for successive twenty-five year terms unless the Authority and CAN DO agree otherwise.

We have audited the combining financial statements of the Hazleton City Authority (the "Authority") as of and for the year ended March 31, 2011, and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 2012. 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.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In planning and performing the audit, we considered the Authority's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control over financial reporting.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statements amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of the tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the Authority in a separate letter dated June 7, 2012.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors, management, the federal awarding agency and pass through entities, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A

DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-I 33

Board of Directors of Hazleton City Authority:

COMPLIANCE

We have audited the compliance of Hazleton City Authority (the "Authority") with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the Authority's major federal program for the year ended March 31, 2011. The Authority's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned cost. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal program is the responsibility of the Authority's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Authority's compliance based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Authority's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Authority's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the Authority complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended March 31, 2011.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE

Management of the Authority is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Authority's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material non compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors, management, others within the entity, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
