1 The total of "net earnings" is a calculated statistic (the item code
in the data file is X08), and thus can be positive or negative. Net
earnings is the sum of earnings on investments plus gains on
investments minus loses on investments. The change made in 2002
for asset valuation from book to market value in accordance with
Statement 34 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board is
reflected in the calculated statistics. Percent for receipts is not
displayed due to the large negative earnings on investments.
