The statement establishes requirements related to the supplementary information presented in the Statistical Section of this report. The objective of the information found in the Statistical Section is to provide financial statement users with additional historical perspective, context and detail. We trust that when used in conjunction with information found in previous sections of this report, readers will gain a better understanding of PERA’s overall financial condition. Financial Information The Schedule of Changes in Net Assets is presented for the last 10 years, giving the reader an opportunity to review trends in the revenues and expenses of our defined benefit plans. Benefits and refunds are then broken down by type. The Revenues and Expenses graph on page 74 shows that almost two-thirds of our revenue has come from investment income over the past 20 years, despite two deep recessions during that time period. Plan Membership Membership and financial information for the Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan is provided on page 75. Membership data for the three largest plans over the past ten years can be found on page 76. Active membership rose until 2008, and has since fallen back to previous levels, while the number of benefit recipients has increased 45 percent and the number of terminated vested members has increased 43 percent since 2002. The graphs on page 77 show the distribution of our active membership as of 6/30/12. Information about PERA’s benefit recipients is provided on pages 78 through 86, including monthly benefit amounts, types of benefits, benefit options, and location of benefit recipients. Employers The rest of this section provides information about the employers who participate in PERA. All non-accounting data is derived from PERA’s internal sources.
