STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION

Mark D. Scott CABINET SECRETARY

December 17, 2021

The Honorable Jim Justice, Governor The Honorable Members of the West Virginia Legislature Citizens of the State of West Virginia

Dear Governor, Senators, Delegates, and Citizens:

I am pleased to present the 2021 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (2021 CAFR) of the State of West Virginia for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This report was prepared by the Financial Accounting and Reporting Section (FARS) within the Finance Division of the Department of Administration (Management).

The 2021 CAFR was prepared in conformity with the reporting model outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 34 and No. 35, and other related statements. This reporting model's objective is to provide a clear picture of the government as a single, unified entity as well as to provide traditional fund-based financial statements. The State of West Virginia's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

This independent audit of the financial statements of the State of West Virginia is part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the requirements of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditors to report not only on the fair presentation of the basic financial statements, but also on West Virginia's internal controls and compliance with requirements applicable to major programs.

GAAP requires that Management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The State's MD&A can be found immediately following the Report of the Independent Auditors.

The 2021 CAFR consists of Management's representations concerning the financial information of the State of West Virginia. Consequently, Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, Management of the State has

1900 KANAWHA BOULEVARD, EAST • BUILDING 1, ROOM E-119 • CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA 25305-0120 • (304) 558-4331 • FAX: (304) 558-2999

established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficiently reliable information for the preparation of the State's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the State's comprehensive framework of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that these financial statements are free from material misstatements. As Management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.

The State of West Virginia's financial statements were audited by Ernst & Young, LLP. The independent auditors concluded, based upon their audit and the reports of other auditors, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion.

Profile of the Government

The State of West Virginia provides a full range of services, including education, social and health services, transportation, public safety, conservation of natural resources, and economic development. In addition to general government activities, this report includes financial information regarding various discretely presented component units which are financially accountable to the State, or for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the State are such that their exclusion would cause this report to be misleading or incomplete. The criteria used to determine financial accountability of a particular entity are the appointment by a state official of a voting majority of the entity's governing body and (1) the ability of the State to impose its will on that entity or (2) the potential for the entity to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the State. See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for a comprehensive discussion of the criteria used in determining the State's financial reporting entity.

Budgetary control is maintained through legislative appropriations and the Executive Branch quarterly allotment process. Agencies submit budgetary requests to the State Budget Office. The State Budget Office compiles the Executive Budget on behalf of the Governor, who submits it to the Legislature. After the approval of the budget, the State Budget Office maintains control over the spending patterns of the State at the activity level and by use of the quarterly allotments. The State Auditor exercises control over spending at the annual appropriation level. All appropriations, except funds which are reappropriated, expire 31 days after fiscal year-end.

Economic Review

West Virginia leads the nation with its commitment to energy research and a diverse energy portfolio that includes not only coal but natural gas, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, and solar. The State has long been, and remains today, one of America's leading net exporters of electricity. West Virginia is a net supplier of electricity to the regional grid and is among the top five states in the nation in net interstate sales of electricity. West Virginia remains competitive in low-cost energy.

The State is the sixth-largest producer of marketed natural gas in the nation. This substantial increase in production can be attributed to the discovery of vast gas reserves in the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations beneath portions of the Appalachian region and the utilization of horizontal drilling techniques to access those reserves. The region's 6,000-foot-deep Marcellus Shale gas fields, extending from New York to West Virginia, are believed to contain more than 84 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas, one of the world's largest natural gas fields.

West Virginia's business climate is among the best in the country and ranks tenth in the Business Facilities 2021 State Rankings Report. Business Facilities also ranked Charleston, WV, as third best business climate for populations less than 200k. Business Facilities considers the competitiveness of each state's infrastructure, workforce, economy, business friendliness, and access to capital when determining a state's business climate ranking.

West Virginia continues to diversify its economy, which includes industries such as technology, chemicals and polymers, automotive, manufacturing, natural gas, aerospace, metals, fulfillment distribution, and building products.

Global companies and organizations have selected West Virginia for their expansion because of its business climate and productive workforce. Below are examples of this economic growth in the State:

• Virgin Hyperloop announced it will locate its new Hyperloop Certification Center (HCC) on nearly 800 acres of land, spanning Tucker and Grant counties, where it will leverage intellectual capital and resources from West Virginia University, Marshall University, and from across the State. West Virginia was chosen over 17 others states for this development project an
