compares not only actual results to
budget but also the original adopted budget to final budget. These budgetary comparisons for
the major governmental funds are presented as part of the basic financial statements. Non-
major governmental fund budget comparisons are presented as supplemental financial data.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary fund financial statements, like government-wide financial statements, are prepared
on the full accrual basis. Proprietary funds record both operating and non-operating revenues
and expenses. Operating revenues are those that are obtained from the operations of the
proprietary fund.
The County reports the Water and Sewer, Airport, Solid Waste and Convention Center as
major funds in the proprietary fund financial statements. The Solid Waste and Convention
Center funds have been presented as major proprietary funds at management’s discretion.
These enterprise funds are used to present the same functions that are presented in the
government-wide financial statements. The other enterprise funds are grouped together and

reported in a separate column entitled, “Other Enterprise Funds”. The internal service funds are
combined into a single column on the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund
data is presented in combining statements as supplemental financial data.
The internal service funds are used to account for risk management, health, including other
post employment benefits for retirees, dental and liability insurance, fleet management services
and funding of short-term compensated absence liability on a cost reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statement
Data shown on the fiduciary fund financial statement is not included in the government-wide
financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the
County’s programs. The only type of fiduciary funds the County maintains, agency funds, are
used to account for assets held by the County as an agent for individuals or other governments.
Notes to the financial statements
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is useful for a
more complete understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund
financial statements.
Other information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information concerning Okaloosa County’s
funding progress related to post employment benefits.
This report also presents combining statements for the non-major governmental and
proprietary funds and agency funds, as well as individual fund budget and actual
comparison schedules for non-major governmental funds.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
Over time, net position may serve as the most useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. At September 30, 2013, the County’s total net position or total assets less
liabilities, was $434,618. A significant portion of the County’s net position, 80.4 percent,
is identified as an investment in capital assets (such as land, buildings, equipment,
infrastructure), less related debt outstanding that was used to acquire those assets. Since
the County uses capital assets to provide services to its residents, the net position
represented by “investment in capital assets, net of related debt” are not available for future
spending. In fact, the payment of maintenance and debt service costs on those capital
assets will themselves require governmental resources. The invested in capital assets, net
of related debt balance of $349,249 decreased ($1,112) or (0.3) percent, in comparison to
the prior year.
Another portion of the County’s net position is restricted net assets which represent assets
that are subject to constraints such as by debt covenants, grantors, laws or regulations. The

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
restricted net position balance of $59,718 (13.7 percent of total net position) increased
$363 or 0.6 percent, in comparison to prior year, mainly due to decreased debt restrictions
and increased Economic Environment and increased Culture/Recreation restrictions for
Tourist Development and Convention Center activities.
Unrestricted net position is net position that is available to meet the County’s ongoing
obligations to residents, creditors, and enterprise fund customers. The unrestricted net
position balance of $25,651 (5.9 percent of total net position) increased $1,504, or 6.2
percent, in comparison to prior year although governmental unrestricted balance decreased
due to increased actuarial claim liabilities in the Self Insurance Internal Service Fund and
more restrictions, business-type activities increased due to increased activity and reduced
liabilities, especially related to debt. The deficit in unrestricted net position in the Self
Insurance Fund will be reduced significantly by approximately $3.7 million of insurance
refunds received in Fiscal Year 2014 as disclosed in Note 20 of the financial statements.
As shown on the following chart, the County reported increased balances at September 30,
2013. The components of total Net Position increased mainly due to the significant
improvement in economic activity in the business-type function related to Convention
Center early repayment of debt and overall general improvement of all business-type
activities.
The following is a condensed summary of net position for the primary government for
fiscal years 2013 and 2012.
