Auditor-Controller’s Report

We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the Bennett Valley Fire Protection
District (the District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008, which collectively comprise the basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the District’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 misstatements. 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 described in Note IV.C of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements, the Auditor-Controller is
mandated by various statutes within the California Government Code to perform certain accounting,
auditing and financial reporting functions. These activities, in themselves, necessarily impair the
auditor's independence. However, we believe adequate safeguards and divisions of responsibility
exist.

In our opinion, except for the effects, if any, of the impairment to auditor independence, the basic
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the District as of June 30, 2008, and the respective changes in its financial position for the year then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The District's management has not presented the management's discussion and analysis information
that the Government Accounting Standards Board has determined is required to supplement, although
not required to be a part of, the basic financial statements.
