Dear Fellow IPAIT Participants: | |
| |
The Iowa Pubic Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is pleased to submit to you this Diversified Fund Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and the Direct Government Obligation (DGO) Fund Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, both for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. This, IPAIT’s sixteenth year of serving participant needs, has been another excellent year of operation for the IPAIT Diversified and DGO Funds in the face of a trying economic environment. | |
Investment Policies and Strategies
IPAIT was created pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 28E in 1987 to enable eligible Iowa public agencies to safely and effectively invest their available operating and reserve funds. Both the Diversified and DGO portfolios have followed established money market mutual fund investment parameters designed to maintain a $1 per unit net asset value since inception and were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in accordance with 17 C.F.R. Section 270.2a-7 in May 1993. The Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund were among the first local government investment pools in the country to do so and have been formally regulated by the SEC since that time. IPAIT’s Investment Policy is reproduced elsewhere in this CAFR. The program’s Investment Policy guides all investment decisions and operating frameworks.
Investment Safeguards
Both Funds continue to be focused upon their investment objectives as stated in the IPAIT Investment Policy found elsewhere in this report. These goals, in order of priority are safety of invested principal, followed by maintenance of adequate liquidity, followed by evaluation of available yield. Within these objectives, each Fund strives to provide participants with the best available rates of return for legally authorized investments. All security settlements within either portfolio are settled on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. DVP settlements greatly reduce the possibility of inappropriate transmission of funds or securities.
Reliability of Investment Section
All commentary and displays in the Investment Section were prepared by IPAIT’s service providers, Investors Management Group (IMG), acting as the program’s Investment Adviser and Administrative Services Provider and Wells Fargo Bank Iowa, N.A. (Wells Fargo), the program’s Custodian. Each of these entities has provided services to the IPAIT program since the program’s inception in 1987. All services provided by IPAIT to participants are subject to rigorous and regular verification between these two institutional providers. All data presented represents the combined work product of IMG and Wells Fargo.

There were no significant changes in operation from one fiscal period to the next. Each program operates pursuant to Service Provider agreements for all aspects of program operation. Every agreement specifies the fees to be charged for each component of IPAIT services and was in place for both fiscal periods.
Financial and operating highlights from this past year include:
• Receipt of a sixth consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
• Average combined daily investments in the Diversified and DGO portfolios of $340,626,472 down from $359,265,610 last fiscal year.
• Placement of 49 portfolio certificates of deposit in Iowa financial institutions, by the Diversified Fund representing over $33,250,000.
• An authorized membership total of 380 public bodies for each Fund, a decrease of two from the previous period representing 174 municipalities, 76 counties, 72 municipal utilities and 58 other eligible public agencies.
Total funds invested in the program’s investment alternatives reached a combined high for the fiscal year of $485,836,150 on May 14, 2002 for the fiscal year 2002-2003.
This report was prepared in its entirety by the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust and its various service providers. We take full responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the financial statements, supporting schedules, investment performance statistics and comparisons and various statistical tables found throughout the report.
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Format and Contents
The report is presented in four sections as follows:
Introduction-contains the Table of Contents, Letter of Transmittal, Management Report, IPAIT Organizational Chart and a listing of the IPAIT Board of Trustees and service providers.
Financial-contains the Diversified Fund and DGO Fund financial statements and the report of independent auditors, KPMG LLP.
5
Investment-contains a comprehensive discussion of each Fund’s investment performance and operations including the following:
• Fund Facts-a summary of IPAIT’s Diversified Fund and DGO Fund investment strategy, individual fund performance comparison to other registered money market fund performance benchmarks including the IBC Financial Data Money Fund Index, and an Economic Environment Overview for the past fiscal year;
• Complete Portfolio Characteristics-portfolio composition and summaries for each Fund to include portfolio ownership analysis, weighted-average maturity illustrations and comparisons, maturity analysis, portfolio distribution by security type, historical portfolio asset growth; and
• The IPAIT Diversified Fund and DGO Fund Investment Policy.
Statistical -includes trend data for the past five years for various program operating components, including total net asset value for each Fund by type of participant, monthly and annual yield highlights and comparisons, Summary of Operations, and a glossary of investment terms.
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a sixth consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award, recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), whose contents conform to program standards. The CAFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA.
On behalf of IPAIT’s Board of Trustees, sponsoring associations and service providers, we thank you for your continued support of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust and encourage you to contact us with comments and suggestions regarding the operation of the program.
As we begin fiscal year 2003-2004, IPAIT will continue to expand services provided by IPASonline IPAIT’s proprietary Internet-based Participant Accounting System. We collectively pledge to continue working together to provide a safe source of interest income for every participant and to provide helpful, convenient cash management related information.
Respectfully, |

MANAGEMENT REPORT
TO IPAIT PARTICIPANTS:
While IPAIT’s Diversified Fund and DGO Fund financial statements and the related financial data contained in these Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and have been audited by IPAIT’s Independent Auditor, KPMG LLP, the ultimate accuracy and validity of this information is the responsibility of the management of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust Board of Trustees. To carry out this responsibility, the Board of Trustees maintains financial policies, procedures, accounting systems and internal controls which the Board believes provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that accurate financial records are maintained and investment assets are safeguarded.
In addition, the three ex-officio trustees meet with the program’s service providers and legal counsel to review all aspects of IPAIT performance each month. The Board of Trustees meets quarterly to similarly review program performance and compliance. In addition, IPAIT is regularly subjected to a comprehensive review of all services and costs of operation by the IPAIT Board of Trustees. This year’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will be submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for consideration for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting following receipt of a sixth consecutive Certificate of Achievement for the fiscal year 2001-2002 CAFR.
In the Board’s opinion, IPAIT’s internal controls are adequate to ensure that the financial information in this report presents fairly the IPAIT Diversified Fund and the IPAIT Direct Government Obligation (DGO) Fund operations and financial condition.
Sincerely, |
|

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ’ REPORT
The Board of Trustees and Unitholders
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Diversified Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (the Portfolio) as of June 30, 2003, and the related statements of operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us by the Custodian. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2002, the Diversified Portfolio of the Trust adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Disclosures
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Diversified Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust as of June 30, 2003, and the results of its operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended and the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management’s discussion and analysis on pages 15 to 16 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
This section of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) Diversified Portfolio’s annual Financial Statements presents management’s discussion and analysis of the financial position and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (FY03). This information is being presented to provide additional information regarding the activities of the Authority, pursuant to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures(Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Independent Auditor’s Report of KPMG LLP, the Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes.
In addition to the historical information, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes certain forward-looking statements which involve certain risks and uncertainties. The actual results of IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolios may differ materially from the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, and legislative changes.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides an introduction to and overview of the basic financial statements of IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio. The following components comprise the financial statements: 1) Statement of Net Assets, 2) Statement of Operations, 3) Statements of Changes in Net Assets, 4) Financial Highlights, and 5) Notes to Financial Statements.
• The Statement of Net Assets shows the financial positon (assets and liabilities) of the portfolios as of the date of the current fiscal year-end.
• The Statement of Operations displays the results of operations (income and expenses) of the portfolios for the most recent fiscal year.
• The Statements of Changes in Net Assets portray participant/unitholder activity (distributions, sales, reinvestments, redemptions) of the portfolios for the two most recent fiscal years.
• The Financial Highlights depict per share/per unit information (net investment income, dividends distributed, net asset value, total return, ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets) and summary total net assets of the portfolios for the five most recent fiscal years.
• The Notes to Financial Statements describe significant accounting policies and disclose summary security transaction amounts of the portfolios.
Condensed Financial Information and Financial Analysis
Year to year variances in most financial statement amounts reported in IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio are caused by a single variable - the level of average net assets (which fluctuates based on the overall levels of participant/unitholder invested balances) in each portfolio. Additionally, changes in the short-term interest rate environment (which follows the general trend established by monetary policy set by the Federal Reserve) contribute to year over year variances in the amount of investment income earned by the portfolios.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (FY 2003), average net assets decreased 4.78 percent to $268,772,324 from average net assets of $282,275,584 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 (FY 2002) for the Diversified Portfolio. Short-term interest rates fell during FY 2002 due to efforts by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to generate economic growth. The Fed lowered the Federal Funds Rate from 3.75 percent to 1.75 percent during the first half of FY 2002. The Fed then dropped the Federal Funds rate to 1.25 percent in November, 2002, and to 1.00 percent in June, 2003.

Condensed financial information and variance explanations for FY2003 and FY 2002 follows.
Diversified Portfolio:
| | FY 2003 | | FY 2002 | | Percentage Change | |
Total Investments | | $ | 244,859,425 | | $ | 253,695,211 | | -3.48 | % |
Net Assets | | $ | 245,025,051 | | $ | 253,948,247 | | -3.51 | % |
Investment Income | | $ | 4,035,199 | | $ | 7,432,829 | | -45.71 | % |
Total Expenses | | $ | 1,503,506 | | $ | 1,577,874 | | -4.71 | % |
Net Investment Income | | $ | 2,531,693 | | $ | 5,854,955 | | -56.76 | % |
Units Sold | | 912,307,966 | | 895,985,873 | | 1.82 | % |
Units Redeemed | | 923,762,855 | | 912,983,400 | | 1.18 | % |
Total investments and net assets declined 3.48 percent and 3.51 percent, respectively, comparing June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 amounts, due to lower aggregate participant balances at fiscal year end 2003. Investment income and net investment income decreased 45.71 percent and 56.76 percent, respectively, during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002 primarily due to the lower interest rate environment and partially due to lower average net assets. Total expenses decreased 4.71 percent during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002 due to lower average net assets. Units sold and redeemed increased 1.82 percent and 1.18 percent, respectively, caused by an increase in participant transaction activity during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is a common law trust established under Iowa law pursuant to Chapter 28E and Sections 331.555 and 384.21, Iowa Code (1987), as amended, which authorizes Iowa public agencies to jointly invest moneys pursuant to a joint investment agreement. IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. IPAIT was established by the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987, and commenced operations on November 13, 1987. The Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust was amended September 1, 1988, and again on May 1, 1993. As amended, IPAIT is authorized to operate and now operates investment programs, one of which is the Diversified Portfolio. The accompanying financial statements include activities of the Diversified Portfolio. The objective of the portfolio is to maintain a high degree of liquidity and safety of principal through investment in short-term securities as permitted for Iowa public agencies under Iowa law. Wells Fargo Bank Iowa, N.A., serves as the Custodian, and Investors Management Group serves as the Investment Advisor, Administrator and Program Support Provider.
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 net investment income during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In reporting financial activity, IPAIT applies applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in conflict with GASB pronouncements. As such, IPAIT financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus.
IPAIT has adopted GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as amended by Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and modified by Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures, (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38) effective July 1, 2002. Adoption of Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38 had no impact on the net assets of the Diversified Portfolio of IPAIT. The statements require IPAIT to add a section for Management’s Discussion and Analysis as required supplementary information to precede the financial statements.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Diversified Portfolio and adheres to policies which mitigate market risk in the portfolio and maintains insurance coverage for fidelity and errors and omissions exposures. IPAIT has had no claims or settlements under its insurance coverage since its organization in 1987.
Investments in Securities
The Diversified Portfolio consists of cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This involves valuing a portfolio security at its original cost on the date of purchase, and thereafter amortizing any premium or discount on a straight-line basis to maturity. The amount of premium or discount amortized to income under the straight-line method does not differ materially from the amount which would be amortized to income under the interest method. Procedures are followed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for the portfolio.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is recorded on the accrual basis.
21
IPAIT is authorized by investment policy and statute to invest public funds in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa depository institutions approved and secured pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Code of Iowa; and repurchase agreements, provided that the underlying collateral consists of obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and that IPAIT’s custodian takes delivery of the collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian.
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is IPAIT’s policy that its Custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest at all times. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2003, the securities purchased under overnight agreements to resell were collateralized by government agency securities with a market value of $163,233,613.
Certificates of deposit amounts in excess of the $100,000 federal deposit insurance are collateralized with securities or letters of credit held by IPAIT’s custodian in IPAIT’s name, or by the state sinking fund in accordance with Chapter 12C of the Code of Iowa, which provides for additional assessments against depositories to ensure there will be no loss of public funds.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards as to custodial credit risk, IPAIT’s investments in securities are classified as category one. Category one consists of insured or registered securities or securities held by IPAIT or its agent in IPAIT’s name and is the most secure investment category description.
Unit Issues, Redemptions and Distributions
IPAIT determines the net asset value of each portfolio daily. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the daily net asset value. Dividends from net investment income for each portfolio are declared daily and distributed monthly.
Income Taxes
IPAIT is exempt from federal and state income tax.
Fees and Expenses
Under separate agreements with IPAIT, Investors Management Group (IMG), the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Program Support Provider, and Wells Fargo Bank Iowa, N.A. (Wells Fargo), the Custodian, are paid an annual fee for operating the investment programs.

Under a distribution plan the public agency associations collectively receive an annual fee of .100 percent of the daily net asset value of the portfolios.

IPAIT is responsible for operating expenses incurred directly by IPAIT. Operating expenses are accrued daily at a rate of .025 percent of the average daily net asset value, and amounted to $67,193 for the year ended June 30, 2003. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.
(2) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Purchases of portfolio securities for the Diversified Portfolio aggregated $28,624,907,337 for the year ended June 30, 2003. Proceeds from maturities of securities for the Diversified Portfolio aggregated $28,632,912,826 for the year ended June 30, 2003.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Trustees and Unitholders
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (the Portfolio) as of June 30, 2003, and the related statements of operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us by the Custodian. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2002, the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of the Trust adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Disclosures
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust as of June 30, 2003, and the results of its operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended and the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management’s discussion and analysis on pages 24 to 25 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
This section of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) Direct Government Obligation Portfolio’s (DGO) annual Financial Statements presents management’s discussion and analysis of the financial position and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (FY03). This information is being presented to provide additional information regarding the activities of the Authority, pursuant to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Independent Auditor’s Report of KPMG LLP, the Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes.
In addition to the historical information, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes certain forward-looking statements which involve certain risks and uncertainties. The actual results of IPAIT’s DGO Portfolio may differ materially from the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, and legislative changes.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides an introduction to and overview of the basic financial statements of IPAIT’s DGO Portfolio. The following components comprise the financial statements: 1) Statement of Net Assets, 2) Statement of Operations, 3) Statements of Changes in Net Assets, 4) Financial Highlights, and 5) Notes to Financial Statements.
• The Statement of Net Assets shows the financial positon (assets and liabilities) of the portfolios as of the date of the current fiscal year-end.
• The Statement of Operations displays the results of operations (income and expenses) of the portfolios for the most recent fiscal year.
• The Statements of Changes in Net Assets portray participant/unitholder activity (distributions, sales, reinvestments, redemptions) of the portfolios for the two most recent fiscal years.
• The Financial Highlights depict per share/per unit information (net investment income, dividends distributed, net asset value, total return, ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets) and summary total net assets of the portfolios for the five most recent fiscal years.
• The Notes to Financial Statements describe significant accounting policies and disclose summary security transaction amounts of the portfolios.
Condensed Financial Information and Financial Analysis
Year to year variances in most financial statement amounts reported in IPAIT’s DGO Portfolio are caused by a single variable - the level of average net assets (which fluctuates based on the overall levels of participant/unitholder invested balances) in each portfolio. Additionally, changes in the short-term interest rate environment (which follows the general trend established by monetary policy set by the Federal Reserve) contribute to year over year variances in the amount of investment income earned by the portfolio.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (FY 2003), average net assets decreased 6.67 percent to $71,854,148 from average net assets of $76,990,025 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 (FY 2002) for the DGO Portfolio. Short-term interest rates fell during FY 2002 due to efforts by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to generate economic growth. The Fed lowered the Federal Funds Rate from 3.75 percent to 1.75 percent during the first half of FY 2002. The Fed then dropped the Federal Funds rate to 1.25 percent in November, 2002, and to 1.00 percent in June, 2003.

Units Redeemed | | 58,486,403 | | 42,924,586 | | 36.25 | % |
Total investments and net assets declined 21.54 percent and 21.32 percent, respectively, comparing June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 amounts, due to lower aggregate participant balances at fiscal year end 2003. Investment income and net investment income decreased 41.19 percent and 52.35 percent, respectively, during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002 primarily due to the lower interest rate environment and partially due to lower average net assets. Total expenses decreased 6.67 percent during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002 due to lower average net assets. Units sold decreased 9.10 percent caused by a decrease in participant gross inflows during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002. Units redeemed increased 36.25 percent caused by an increase in participant gross outflows during FY 2003 compared to FY 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is a common law trust established under Iowa law pursuant to Chapter 28E and Sections 331.555 and 384.21, Iowa Code (1987), as amended, which authorizes Iowa public agencies to jointly invest moneys pursuant to a joint investment agreement. IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. IPAIT was established by the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987, and commenced operations on November 13, 1987. The Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust was amended September 1, 1988, and again on May 1, 1993. As amended, IPAIT is authorized to operate and now operates investment programs, one of which is the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio. The accompanying financial statements include activities of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio. The objective of the portfolio is to maintain a high degree of liquidity and safety of principal through investment in short-term securities as permitted for Iowa public agencies under Iowa law. Wells Fargo Bank Iowa, N.A., serves as the Custodian, and Investors Management Group serves as the Investment Advisor, Administrator, and Program Support Provider.
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 net investment income during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In reporting financial activity, IPAIT applies applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in conflict with GASB pronouncements. As such, IPAIT financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus.
IPAIT has adopted GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as amended by Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and modified by Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures, (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38) effective July 1, 2002. Adoption of Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38 had no impact on the net assets of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of IPAIT. The statements require IPAIT to add a section for Management’s Discussion and Analysis as required supplementary information to precede the financial statements.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio and adheres to policies which mitigate market risk in the portfolio and maintains insurance coverage for fidelity and errors and omissions exposures. IPAIT has had no claims or settlements under its insurance coverage since its organization in 1987.
Investments in Securities
The Direct Government Obligation Portfolio consists of cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This involves valuing a portfolio security at its original cost on the date of purchase, and thereafter amortizing any premium or discount on a straight-line basis to maturity. The amount of premium or discount amortized to income under the straight-line method does not differ materially from the amount which would be amortized to income under the interest method. Procedures are followed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for the portfolio.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is recorded on the accrual basis.
29
IPAIT is authorized by investment policy and statute to invest public funds in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa depository institutions approved and secured pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Code of Iowa; and repurchase agreements, provided that the underlying collateral consists of obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and that IPAIT’s custodian takes delivery of the collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian.
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is IPAIT’s policy that its Custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest at all times. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2003, the security purchased under an overnight agreement to resell was collateralized by government securities with a market value of $43,378,321.
Certificates of deposit amounts in excess of the $100,000 federal deposit insurance are collateralized with securities or letters of credit held by IPAIT’s custodian in IPAIT’s name, or by the state sinking fund in accordance with Chapter 12C of the Code of Iowa, which provides for additional assessments against depositories to ensure there will be no loss of public funds.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards as to custodial credit risk, IPAIT’s investments in securities are classified as category one. Category one consists of insured or registered securities or securities held by IPAIT or its agent in IPAIT’s name and is the most secure investment category description.
Unit Issues, Redemptions and Distributions
IPAIT determines the net asset value of each portfolio daily. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the daily net asset value. Dividends from net investment income for each portfolio are declared daily and distributed monthly.
Income Taxes
IPAIT is exempt from federal and state income tax.
Fees and Expenses
Under separate agreements with IPAIT, Investors Management Group (IMG), the Investment Advisor, Administrator and Program Support Provider, and Wells Fargo Bank Iowa, N.A. (Wells Fargo), the Custodian, are paid an annual fee for operating the investment programs.

For the year ended June 30, 2003, the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio paid $35,927 to Wells Fargo for services provided.
Under a distribution plan the public agency associations collectively receive an annual fee of .100 percent of the daily net asset value of the portfolio. For the year ended June 30, 2003, the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio paid $67,063 to the Iowa League of Cities and $4,792 to the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities. IPAIT is responsible for operating expenses incurred directly by IPAIT. Operating expenses are accrued daily at a rate of ..025 percent of the average daily net asset value, and amounted to $17,964 for the year ended June 30, 2003. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

DIVERSIFIED FUND AND
DIRECT GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION FUND
INVESTMENT RESULTS REVIEW
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003
Introduction
The Diversified Fund and the Direct Government Obligation (DGO) Fund are each short-term investment pools of high-quality money market instruments. Each pool has been registered since May of 1993 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each is operated in accordance with 17 C.F.R. Section 270.2a-7 (Rule 2a-7). Each pool complied voluntarily with all Rule 2a-7 money market fund operating guidelines from inception until formal registration in 1993.
The Diversified Fund is made up of a professionally managed portfolio of U.S. government and federal agency securities, certificates of deposit issued by Iowa financial institutions and perfected repurchase agreements, the latter collateralized by U.S. government and federal agency securities. The Diversified Fund is typically used for the investment of all public funds subject to the Iowa public funds statutory provisions invested by a participant unless other participant-specific investment restrictions exist.


The DGO Fund is identical in every respect to the Diversified Fund except that it is invested exclusively in direct U.S. government obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by direct U.S. government obligations. The DGO Fund is typically used to invest those public funds of a participant that are subject to more stringent investment restrictions than those provided by Iowa public funds statutes, for example bond proceeds whose investment alternatives may be limited to the types of securities found in the DGO Fund.
The investment objective of both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of invested principal and provision of adequate liquidity to meet participants’ daily cash flow needs. As a general policy, all purchased securities will be held until they mature. However, in an effort to increase yields, IPAIT may sell securities and realize capital gains when there are perceived disparities between maturities for various categories of authorized investments. Summaries of all security trades for each Fund are regularly provided monthly to the IPAIT Board of Trustees for review.


33
Both portfolios have been managed by Investors Management Group, IPAIT’s Des Moines, Iowa based investment adviser, since inception. Aggregate cash flows for each Fund are monitored daily and compared to respective Fund cash flow patterns of previous periods. Fund cash flow patterns throughout the fiscal period, as compared to previous years, have traditionally been generally repetitive. Sixteen years of operating history create a very helpful tool to gauge necessary pool liquidity needs.
Both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund follow a fundamental strategy of investing when interest rates rise and fund cash flows provide liquidity for purchases. In addition, the Diversified Fund actively monitors rates offered by Iowa financial institutions for public funds certificates of deposit. Institutions experiencing strong loan demand typically offer rates that are at or above those available for marketable securities, presenting a helpful portfolio investment alternative.
To assure adequate liquidity for anticipated and unanticipated participant withdrawals, IPAIT continually monitors the weighted-average-maturity (WAM) of both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund. Each Fund’s WAM is similarly compared to the IBC Financial Data average for all registered money market funds. Presented in the previous column is the WAM for each Fund as compared to the IBC Financial Data average for all similar registered money market funds for the fiscal period.


Each Fund accrues interest income daily and pays accrued income monthly to participant accounts. Interest is paid on the first business day of the month following accrual. Daily income amounts and investment returns are calculated by the amortized cost method. Under this method, a security is initially valued at cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, any premium or discount is amortized on a straight-line basis to maturity.
The IPAIT Administrator-Adviser values each Fund’s portfolio weekly at current market value, based upon actual market quotations. Each Fund’s current market valuation is compared to that Fund’s current amortized cost basis. In accordance with the established operating parameters of Rule 2a-7 and IPAIT’s internal controls and procedures, any deviation in net asset value based upon available market quotations from each Fund’s $1.00 amortized cost per unit is carefully monitored. Deviations may never exceed 0.5 percent and historically have never exceeded 0.1 percent. Illustrated on the previous page are the amortized cost versus market value per unit comparisons for the past three fiscal years for each Fund.
The Diversified Fund’s investment performance is regularly compared to three established benchmarks, the IBC Financial Data average rate for all registered Rule 2a-7 money market funds investing in U.S. government and federal agency securities, the Iowa Code Chapter 74A rate for 32-89, and 90-179 day certificates of deposit issued by Iowa financial institutions for public funds in the state.


34
The DGO Fund is similarly compared to the IBC Financial Data average rate for all Rule 2a-7 money market funds that invest in only direct obligations of the U. S. government as well as the Iowa Code Chapter 74Arates for 32-89 and 90-179 day certificates of deposit.
The Iowa Code Chapter 74Arates are distributed monthly by the state Treasurer’s office for various investment periods and are intended to be the minimum rates at which Iowa financial institutions can accept public funds for timed deposits. While a public body must commit funds for minimum periods of time to access Chapter 74Arates, IPAIT’s Diversified Fund and DGO Fund typically offer rates at or above the Chapter 74A benchmarks with complete daily liquidity.
Risk Profile
Both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund are low in risk profile. Both Funds limit portfolio investments to:
1. No single portfolio investment may exceed 365 days to maturity and
2. The weighted average maturity (WAM) may never exceed 90 days.
In addition to the above investment maturity restrictions common to both Funds, the Diversified Fund limits itself to U.S. government and federal agency securities,


perfected repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government and federal agency securities and Iowa inancial institution certificates of deposit. The DGO Fund further limits itself to only direct obligations of the U. S. government and perfected repurchase agreements collateralized by direct obligations of the U.S. government. This combination of short average maturities and extremely high-quality credit instruments provides eligible Iowa public funds investors with a safe, effective investment alternative.


As noted previously, both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund carefully limit themselves to high credit-quality securities. In addition, IPAIT monitors a broad array of economic indicators as well as activities of the Federal Reserve Board to be able to position each Fund’s WAM to take advantage of projected interest rate environments. Anticipation of a rising yield curve throughout the fiscal period brought about by the Federal Reserve Board’s series of overnight rate increases resulted in a gradually declining WAM for the Diversified Fund. The DGO Fund experienced a moderately increasing WAM as rising rates brought about a positive yield curve that had not existed prior to the overnight rate increases.
As the Diversified Fund identified Iowa financial institution certificates of deposit that offered attractive investment opportunities, funds were invested in term securities that tended to keep the Diversified Fund WAM comparable to the industry index. A lack of similar investment opportunities for the DGO Fund resulted in a substantially shorter WAM for the period.
35


It is important to note that portfolio liquidity needs for the program must control evaluation of alternative portfolio management opportunities at all times. If historical cash flow analysis indicates that participants will need to withdraw funds in the aggregate, material extension of either Fund’s portfolio is not a viable alternative.
Participation membership by affiliation concentration for both the Diversified and DGO Portfolios are illustrated in the following graph.


Performance Summary
For the one-year period ended June 30, 2003, the Diversified Fund and DGO Fund reported a ratio of net investment income to average net assets of .94 percent and .92 percent respectively, net of all operating expenses. These figures exceeded the IBC Indices for each Fund, which returned .80 percent and .74 percent respectively for the fiscal period.
Although both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund are liquidity pools, their performance over time has consistently exceeded the IBC Index as illustrated below.


Also illustrated below are the historical returns for both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund for the most recent one, three and five year periods.


36
Fees and Commissions
All assets invested in the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund incur the Total Expense Ratio respective to each portfolio as noted in the Fund Facts Summary for each portfolio noted at the beginning of this Investment Section. There are no additional fees or commissions paid by participants in either portfolio.
37
Past Fiscal Year Economic Summary
The Federal Reserve has cut the Fed Funds target rate thirteen times since the beginning of the US economic slowdown, to a 45-year low of 1.00 percent. This most recent stimulus, along with the recent tax relief package ratified in June, should be more than enough to re-ignite economic growth to above trend levels and diffuse any fears of deflation.
The economy last year was plagued with declining employment, a weak manufacturing sector, suspect financial reporting, a short-lived war, and renewed fears of deflation. However, the economy was balanced by a strong consumer, historically low mortgage rates, a declining dollar, strong incentives, and an aggressive Fed. While 2003 has been difficult it has provided a backdrop for a strong 2004.
Economic Outlook for Fiscal Year 2004
The economy is poised and has been poised for a strong recovery for some time. Unfortunately, the markets have been rattled by external forces that continue to compromise investor confidence. This all began with the Asian crisis in 1997, followed by Long Term Capital Management in 1999, the terrorist attacks in 2001, and finally the corporate governance issues in 2002. With external issues void, the economy should be growing at a much faster pace.
Economic growth should benefit from several factors. First, interest rates are at 45-year lows. The low rate environment encourages borrowing and provides liquidity to support growth. Second, the tax relief, while small, should filter through the economy in the form of higher consumer spending. Third, a lower U.S. dollar should help U.S. business be more competitive with foreign peers. And finally, stronger consumer confidence helps support higher financial prices and maintains strong consumer spending. All of these should provide the foundation for stronger economic growth as we finish 2003 and enter 2004.
Short-Term Rates
The Fed’s aggressive posture to re-ignite the economy has driven short-term interest rates to a 45 year low. It’s been since the mid 50’s that we have seen interest rates this low for any period of time. Currently three-month, six-month, and twelve-month treasuries are yielding 0.96 percent, 1.02 percent, and 1.15 percent respectively.
While the Fed has indirectly told the market they will continue efforts to keep the economy growing, even possibly taking short-term rates to zero if needed, the forward market is implying quite the contrary showing short-term rates one year from now over 2.00 percent. This provides needed hope for short-term investors.
With an expectation that rates have bottomed, we have positioned the portfolio of both the Diversified Fund and DGO Fund shorter than the average money market fund. While short rates are unlikely to rise any time soon, we do believe the next move will be higher short-term rates rather than lower short-term rates. Also little benefits are achieved for extending the maturity in the current rate environment.
Our strategy is to have the Funds ready to respond quickly to rising rates as we approach the end of 2003. As always, management of the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund will focus on three fundamental investment objectives: 1) safety of invested principal, 2) maintenance of necessary liquidity, and 3) competitive rates, in that order.

SECTION 2-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
A. Unless otherwise specified below, none of the portfolios will:
1. Invest more than 5 percent of the value of their total assets in the securities of any one federally insured Iowa depository institution (other than securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities).
2. Invest 25 percent or more of the value of their total assets in the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activities in any one industry, including financial institutions.

10. Underwrite the securities of other issuers.
39
11. Invest in any securities in contravention of the provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as it presently exists or as it may hereafter be amended.

Assets of IPAIT shall not be invested in the following:
1. Reverse repurchase agreements.
2. Futures and options contracts.
3. Any security with a remaining maturity of more than 365 days from the date of purchase not withstanding the provisions of Rule 2a-7 or any other provisions of state or federal law relating to the operation of the Trust.
C. Prohibited Investment Practices
The following investment practices are prohibited:
1. Trading of securities for speculation or the realization of short-term trading gains.
2. Investing pursuant to a contract providing for the compensation of an agent or fiduciary based upon the performance of the invested assets.
3. If a fiduciary or other third party with custody of public investment transaction records of IPAIT fails to produce requested records when requested by IPAIT or its agents within a reasonable time, IPAIT shall make no new investment with or through the fiduciary or third party and shall not renew maturing investments with or through the fiduciary or third party.
D. Management Policies and Procedures
Following are the fundamental management policies and procedures for IPAIT. All investments shall be maintained in separate IPAIT custodial accounts, segregated by Portfolio on behalf of IPAIT Participants.
1. Each purchase or sale of a security must be handled on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. Funds for the purchase of an investment shall not be released to the seller until the security is delivered to the IPAIT Custodian. Conversely, a sold security shall not be released to the buyer until funds for the purchase price of the security have been received by the IPAIT Custodian.
2. “Free delivery” transactions are prohibited. The Custodian shall never release assets from the IPAIT custodial accounts until the funds for the investment are delivered.
3. Any material deviation (greater than 0.5 percent) from the amortized cost of investments shall be promptly reported by the Adviser to the Board of Trustees. If such deviation exceeds 0.5 percent, the Adviser will consider what action, if any, should be initiated to reasonably eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair results to Participants. Such action may include redemption of Trust Units in kind, selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, withholding distributions or utilizing a net asset value per Trust Unit based upon available market quotations.
4. The frequent trading of securities, including day trading for the purpose of realizing short-term gains, the purchase and sale of futures and options to buy or sell authorized investments, reverse repurchase agreements, and other similar speculative transactions are expressly prohibited.
5. IPAIT may not make any investment other than Permitted Investments authorized by the provisions of the law applicable to the investment of funds by the Participants, as such laws may be amended from time to time.
40
6. IPAIT may not purchase any Permitted Investment if the effect of such purchase by IPAIT would be to make the average-dollar-weighted maturity of a portfolio greater than 90 days.
7. IPAIT may not borrow money or incur indebtedness whether or not the proceeds thereof are intended to be used to purchase Permitted Investments.
8. IPAIT may not make loans, provided that IPAIT may make Permitted Investments.
9. IPAIT may not purchase securities or shares of investment companies or any entities similar to IPAIT.
The restrictions set forth above are fundamental to the operation and activities of IPAIT and may not be changed without the affirmative approval, in writing, of a majority of the Participants entitled to vote, except that such restrictions may be changed by the Trustees so as to make them more restrictive when necessary to conform the investment program and activities of IPAIT to the laws of the State of Iowa and the United States of America as they may from time to time be amended.
The above investment restrictions shall not be changed without the vote of a majority of the Participants in a Portfolio. “Majority” means the lesser of (a) 67 percent of the Trust’s or a Portfolio’s outstanding Trust Units voting at a meeting of the Participants at which more than 50 percent of the outstanding Trust Units are represented in person or by proxy or (b) a majority of the Trust’s or a Portfolio’s outstanding Trust Units.
Provided, however, the Trust may invest Portfolio assets pursuant to the maximum extent possible by Iowa law governing investments by public agencies and Rule 2a-7 and any change in the restrictions of the Iowa law governing investments by public agencies and Rule 2a-7 shall be deemed to be adopted by the Trust, and such change shall not require the approval of the Participants.
Any investment restrictions or limitations referred to above which involve a maximum percentage of securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over the percentage occurs immediately after an acquisition of securities or utilization of assets and results therefrom.
SECTION 3-DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The responsibility for conducting IPAIT investment transactions resides with the IPAIT Board of Trustees. Certain responsibilities have been delegated to the Administrator-Adviser, the Custodian and the Bank Trust Services provider (the “Service Providers”) pursuant to the Administrator-Adviser Agreement, the Custodian Agreement and the Bank Trust Services Agreement with amendments as may be adopted from time to time and the current Information Statement (the “Documents”).
Each Service Provider shall individually notify the IPAIT Board of Trustees in writing within 30 days of receipt of all communications from the auditor of any Service Provider or any regulatory authority of the existence of a material weakness in internal control structure of the Service Provider or regulatory orders or sanctions regarding the type of services being provided to IPAIT by the Service Provider.
The records of investment transactions made by or on behalf of IPAIT are public records and are the property of IPAIT whether in the custody of IPAIT or in the custody of a fiduciary or other third party.
SECTION 4-OBJECTIVES OF INVESTMENT POLICY
The primary objectives, in order of priority, of all investment activities involving the financial assets of IPAIT shall be the following:
1. Safety: Safety and preservation of principal in the overall portfolio is the foremost investment objective.
41
