AF In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the changes in financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions D We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the R United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Governmental Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Corporation, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Emphasis of Matter – Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Corporation adopted new accounting principle guidance, Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87 – Leases. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 1 of America, and for 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. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Governmental Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of T internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. AF In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Governmental Auditing Standards, we:   Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,  D whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. R Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Corporation’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, amount other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit. 2 Required Supplementary Information Management has omitted the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Government 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. Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Annual Report of the Corporation as defined by Section 2800 of the New York State Public Authorities Law, Annual Reports by Authorities, but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read T the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an AF uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated DATE on our consideration of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and D 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 solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the R results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s 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 Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

The Corporation is a public instrumentality of and supporting organization for, but is separate and apart from, the City. Basis of Presentation T The Corporation’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). AF The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to the Corporation is determined by its measurement focus. The transactions of the Corporation are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operations are included on the statement of net position. Net D position is classified into three components – net investment in capital assets; restricted; and unrestricted. These classifications are defined as follows, if applicable: R Net investment in capital assets: consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by the outstanding balances of any related debt obligations and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and increased by balances of deferred outflows of resources related to those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of net investment in capital assets. Rather that portion of the debt is included in restricted net position. Restricted net position: This component of net position represents external restrictions on net position imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted net position: This component represents net position that does not meet the definition of "restricted". When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Corporation’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed. 7 TROY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements--Continued NOTE A--ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Corporation considers as cash all demand deposits and all highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash. Loans Receivable T Loans receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Corporation determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables and considering collateral value, financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. AF Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Capital Assets Recoveries of Acquisition of property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for acquisitions, renewals, and betterments are capitalized, whereas remediation, maintenance, and repair costs are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise D disposed of, the appropriate accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation, and any resultant gain or loss is credited or charged to the change in net position. Depreciation is provided for in amounts to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations R over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis using an estimated life of 40 years. Property Held for Development and Resale Property held for development and resale is recorded at cost and is carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Major additions, renewals, and betterments are capitalized, whereas remediation, maintenance, and repair costs are expensed as incurred. When property held for development or resale is sold or otherwise disposed of, the appropriate accounts are relieved of costs and any resultant gain or loss is credited or charged to the change in net position. Recognition of impairment of property held for development and resale is required when events and circumstances indicate that an entity will not be able to recover the carrying amount of these assets. The Corporation recognizes an impairment loss, equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value, if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairment loss has been recognized. 8 TROY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements--Continued NOTE A--ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue consists of exchange revenue such as project fees and nonexchange revenue such as grants and contributions. Grant income is recognized as costs are incurred. Contribution revenue is recognized when received. Expenses are recognized when incurred. The Corporation distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues are determined based on the services provided by the Corporation. Operating expenses include the costs associated with providing those services. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. Deferred Inflows of Resources T In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element AF represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Leases As a lessor, the Corporation recognizes a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources for any lease with a term greater than 12 months. The lease receivable is recorded at the present value of the lease payments to be received during the lease term. The lease term D will be adjusted based on the existence of any extension or termination options when it is reasonably certain that the Corporation or the lessee will exercise those options. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured at an amount equal to the initial R measurement of the related lease receivable plus certain additional amounts received from the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease that is related to future periods less any lease incentives. The deferred inflows of resources is recognized as lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Income Taxes The Corporation is exempt from income taxes as a not-for-profit corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable New York State law. Accordingly, no provisions have been made for income taxes in these financial statements. Subsequent Events The Corporation evaluates transactions that occur subsequent to year end for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued. The financial statements were approved by management and available to be issued on DATE. 9 TROY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements--Continued NOTE B--CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Corporation implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 87, Leases (GASB 87). GASB 87 enhances the relevance and consistency of information related to a government’s leasing activities. The requirements of GASB 87 are based on the principle that leases represent the financing of the right to use and underlying nonfinancial asset. A lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources. The new standard was adopted on a retrospective basis as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Accordingly, amounts previously reported on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were restated to conform to the new standard as follows: Previously Lease receivable T $ Reported Balance Db(Cr) - GASB 87 Adjustment Db(Cr) $ 489,017 Restated Balance Db(Cr) $ 489,017 Deferred inflows of resources Net position, end of year Lease revenue Non-operating interest income Change in net position AF (1,938,447) (78,798) 146,329 - - (471,603) (17,414) 4,850 (22,264) 17,414 (471,603) (1,955,861) (73,948) (22,264) (128,915) D NOTE C--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS R The Corporation’s investment policies are governed by New York State statutes and the Corporation’s own written investment policy. The Corporation is authorized to use demand deposit accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. Permissible investments include obligations of the U.S. Treasury and those of New York State and its municipalities and school districts. All cash of the Corporation is maintained in accounts covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In accordance with state law, collateral is required for demand deposits and certificates of deposit not covered by FDIC insurance. The Corporation’s uninsured deposits are collateralized by accounts held by the pledging financial institution agent in the Corporation’s name. The total amount of collateralized uninsured deposits was approximately $12,500 for the year ended December 31, 2022. 10 TROY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements--Continued NOTE D--LOANS RECEIVABLE The Corporation administers an economic development loan program with the primary objective of stimulating the City’s economic base in order to create new job opportunities. Loans are made to eligible borrowers meeting targeted economic criteria at market interest rates, ranging from 4.25% to 5.75%.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements, we considered D Corporation's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing R an opinion on the effectiveness of Corporation's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Corporation's internal control. 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 a 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. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. 16 Report Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Corporation'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 statement 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 our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated February 17, T 2023. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit. Significant Audit Findings AF Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the Corporation are described in Note A to the financial statements. As described in Note B to the financial statements, the Corporation adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, D in 2022. The standard was adopted on a retrospective basis as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of R January 1, 2021 is reported in the financial statements. We noted no transactions entered into by the Corporation during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the Corporation's financial statements were:  Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible loans is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the outstanding receivables, including historical loss experience and economic conditions. 1  Management’s estimate of the depreciable lives and estimated residual value of capital assets is based on the estimated useful length of individual assets and is estimated on a straight-line basis.  Management’s estimate of the value of the King’s Fuel and Alamo Sites included in land held for development and the lack of impairment thereof, is based on an appraisal by a third-party appraiser.  Management’s estimate of the discount rate used to calculate leases receivable is based on the rate that the Corporation would charge and is consistent with historical rates charged by the Corporation under its revolving loan program. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements was: T The disclosure of the carrying value of land held for development in Note F to the financial statements is sensitive because it is possible that the value of the land may not be recoverable by the Corporation. AF The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. D Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements R Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. The following material misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures were corrected by management.  An adjustment to record the beginning balances of the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources in accordance with the adoption of GASB 87.  Adjustments to record the current year lease activity in accordance with GASB 87. Disagreements with Management For the purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. 2 Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated DATE. Management Consultation with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Corporation’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Corporation's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional T relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. Other Matters AF Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis information that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not 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 D historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information. R We were not engaged to report on the Agency’s annual report that is defined by Section 2800 of the New York State Public Authorities Law, Annual Reports by Authorities. Our responsibility under professional standards is to consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the annual report and the audited financial statements that includes our report thereon. The annual report has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied to the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. Restriction on Use This information is intended solely for the use of the information and use of the Board of Directors and management of Troy Local Development Corporation and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties. 3  D 4 R AF T
