REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Arborwood Community Development District Lee County, Florida

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Arborwood Community Development District as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020, and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on the Discretely Presented Component Unit

The financial statements do not include financial data for the District’s legally separate component unit. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the financial data for the component unit to be reported with the financial data of the District’s primary government unless the District also issues financial statements for the financial reporting entity that include the financial data for its component unit. The District has not issued such reporting entity financial statements. Because of this departure from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the assets, liabilities, net position, revenues, and expenses of the aggregate discretely presented component unit should have been presented.

Adverse Opinion

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the "Basis for Adverse Opinion on the Discretely Presented Component Unit", the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, the financial position of the discretely presented component unit of the District as of September 30, 2020, or the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the "Basis for Adverse Opinion on the Discretely Presented Component Unit" paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aggregate remaining fund information of the District as of September 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Unmodified Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District, as of September 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Governmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures in accordance with governmental auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted principally of inquires of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated July 16, 2021 on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations and contracts.

The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Arborwood Community Development District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s discussion and analysis of Arborwood Community Development District’s (the “District”) financial performance provides an objective and easily readable analysis of the District’s financial activities. The analysis provides summary financial information for the District and should be read in conjunction with the District’s financial statements.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The District’s basic financial statements comprise three components; 1) Government-wide financial statements, 2) Fund financial statements, and 3) Notes to financial statements. The Government-wide financial statements present an overall picture of the District’s financial position and results of operations. The Fund financial statements present financial information for the District’s major funds. The Notes to financial statements provide additional information concerning the District’s finances.

The Government-wide financial statements are the statement of net position and the statement of activities. These statements use accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. Emphasis is placed on the net position of governmental activities and the change in net position. Governmental activities are primarily supported by special assessments.

The statement of net position presents information on all assets and liabilities of the District, with the difference between assets and liabilities reported as net position. Net position is reported in three categories; 1) net investment in capital assets 2) restricted and 3) unrestricted. Assets, liabilities, and net position are reported for all Governmental activities.

The statement of activities presents information on all revenues and expenses of the District and the change in net position. Expenses are reported by major function and program revenues relating to those functions are reported, providing the net cost of all functions provided by the District. To assist in understanding the District’s operations, expenses have been reported as governmental activities. Governmental activities financed by the District include general government and physical environment.

Fund financial statements present financial information for governmental funds. These statements provide financial information for the major governmental funds of the District. Governmental fund financial statements provide information on the current assets and liabilities of the funds, changes in current financial resources (revenues and expenditures), and current available resources.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Fund financial statements include a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for all governmental funds. A statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances – budget and actual, is provided for the District’s General Fund. Fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District’s activities. Individual funds are established by the District to track revenues that are restricted to certain uses or to comply with legal requirements.

The government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements provide different pictures of the District. The government-wide financial statements provide an overall picture of the District’s financial standing. These statements are comparable to private-sector companies and give a good understanding of the District’s overall financial health and how the District paid for the various activities, or functions, provided by the District. All assets of the District, including capital assets, are reported in the statement of net position. All liabilities obligated but not paid by the District, are included. In the statement of activities transactions between the different functions of the District are eliminated in order to avoid “doubling up” the revenues and expenses. The fund financial statements provide a picture of the major funds of the District. In the case of governmental activities, outlays for long lived assets are reported as expenditures and long-term liabilities are not included in the fund financial statements. To provide a link from the fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements, a reconciliation is provided from the fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements.

Notes to financial statements provide additional detail concerning the financial activities and financial balances of the District. Additional information about the accounting practices of the District is also included in the notes to financial statements.

Financial Highlights

The following are the highlights of financial activity for the year ended September 30, 2020:

The District’s total assets exceeded total liabilities by $73,301,082 (net position). Unrestricted net position for governmental activities was $806,645. Restricted net position was $1,761,587. Net investment in capital assets for governmental activities was $70,732,850.

Governmental activities revenues totaled $6,997,766 while governmental activities expenses totaled $4,448,368.

The increase in charges for services is primarily related to additional special assessments in the current year.

The decrease in interest and other charges is related to the reduction in bonds outstanding.

RECONCILIATION OF TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE	
TO NET POSITION OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES	
September 30, 2020	

Total Governmental Fund Balances	$

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position	
are different because:	

Capital assets not being depreciated, land ($84,410,571) and construction	
in progress ($1,885,681) used in governmental activities are not current	
financial resources and; are not reported in the fund level statements.	

Capital assets being depreciated, infrastructure ($39,039,107) and	
improvements ($562,032) net of accumulated depreciation	
($(18,073,424)), used in governmental activities are not current	
financial resources and; therefore are not reported in the funds.	

Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable are not due and payable	
in the current period and; are not reported in the fund level statements.	

The bonds payable include a discount on bonds ($532,521); net of	
accumulated amortization ($(75,379)); which is reflected as a	
decrease to bonds payable.	

Prepaid bond insurance is not related to the current period, and therefore,	
is not reported at the fund level.	

The deferred amount on refunding is a deferred outflow of resources,	
not related to the current period and are not reported at the fund level.	

The deferred gain on refunding is a deferred inflow of resources, not related	
to the current period and are not reported at the fund level.

Arborwood Community Development District	
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,	
EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL	
FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES	
For the Year Ended September 30, 2020	

Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds	$

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are	
different because:	

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. At the government	
wide level these expenditures are capitalized as capital assets and depreciated	
over their useful lives. This is the amount that depreciation, $(2,008,158)	
exceeded capital outlay, $563,343, in the current year.	

Principal payments are reported as expenditures at the fund level since they	
use current financial resources. However at the government-wide level,	
bond payments decrease long-term liabilities.	

The deferred gain on refunding is recognized as a component of interest expense	
over the remaining life of the bond. This is the current year amortization	
expense associated with the deferred inflow of resources.	

At the government wide level, interest is accrued on outstanding debt;	
whereas at the fund level interest expenditures are reported when due. This is	
the difference between the prior year and current year accruals.	

At the government-wide level bond discounts, bond insurance and deferred	
amount on refunding are amortized over the life of the bonds. This is the	
current year amortization expense.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The District's more significant accounting policies are described below.

Reporting Entity

The District was established on June 14, 2004, pursuant to the Rule 42RR-1, Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. The District was established for the purposes of financing and managing the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of the infrastructure necessary for community development within its jurisdiction. The District is authorized to issue bonds for the purpose, among others, of financing, funding, planning, establishing, acquiring, constructing or re-constructing, enlarging or extending, equipping, operating and maintaining water management, bridges or culverts, district roads, landscaping, street lights and other basic infrastructure projects within or without the boundaries of the Arborwood Community Development District. The District is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors who are elected for four year terms. The District operates within the criteria established by Chapter 190, Florida Statutes.

As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the Arborwood Community Development District (the primary government) as a stand-alone government. The reporting entity for the District includes all functions of government in which the District’s Board exercises oversight responsibility includes, but is not limited to, financial interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, significant ability to influence operations and accountability for fiscal matters.

Based upon the application of the above-mentioned criteria as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the Financial Reporting Entity, the District has identified one component unit.

Arborwood CDD Holdings, Inc. (SPE) – Arborwood CDD Holdings, Inc. is a special purpose entity (SPE) created by provisions in the Trust indenture for the 2005A and 2005B Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds for the temporary purpose of owning, maintaining, selling or disposing of the property related to the bonds. The SPE and its operations, pursuant to an agreement between the SPE, the District and the U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), are funded from a $1,335,000 loan from the District prior to the exchange of the 2005A and 2005B Bonds. The Parcel C lands were sold in December 2014 and the loan was repaid. Certain proceeds from the sale of the land were deposited into the SPE and the SPE has not provided the District with any financial information. The SPE is still active, although, the SPE does not hold any assets or liabilities.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The basic financial statements of the District are composed of the following:
Government-wide financial statements
Fund financial statements
Notes to financial statements

Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Government-wide financial statements report all non-fiduciary information about the reporting government as a whole. These statements include all the governmental activities of the primary government. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.

Governmental activities are primarily supported by special assessments. Program revenues include charges for services and payments made by parties outside of the reporting government’s citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the Statement of Activities to present the net cost of each program
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as an other financial source.
Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.

Fund Financial Statements

The underlying accounting system of the District is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)
b. Fund Financial Statements (Continued) Governmental Funds
The District classifies fund balance according to Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 54 – Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
The District has various policies governing the fund balance classifications.
Nonspendable Fund Balance – This classification consists of amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – This classification includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation.
Assigned Fund Balance – This classification consists of the Board of Supervisors’ intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The assigned fund balances can also be assigned by the District’s management company.
Unassigned Fund Balance – This classification is the residual classification for the government’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.
Fund Balance Spending Hierarchy – For all governmental funds except special revenue funds, when restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are combined in a fund, qualified expenditures are paid first from restricted or committed fund balance, as appropriate, then assigned and finally unassigned fund balances.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collected within the current period or soon thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)
b. Fund Financial Statements (Continued) Governmental Funds (Continued)
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources”. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financial sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.
Because of their current financial resource measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by non-current liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources are expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as an other financing source rather than as a fund liability.
Debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.
Basis of Presentation
Governmental Major Funds
General Fund – The General Fund is the District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

2014 Debt Service Fund – Accounts for debt service requirements to retire the capital improvement bonds which were used to refund Series 2005 A-1, Series 2005 B-1, Series 2005-1 and Series 2006 A-1 bonds. The bond series is secured by a pledge (lien) of all debt service special assessment revenues on all acreage of benefited land.

2018 Debt Service Fund – Accounts for debt service requirements to retire the capital improvement and revenue refunding bonds which were used to fund a capital project and refund the outstanding Series 2005 and Series 2006 bonds. The bond series is secured by a pledge (lien) of all debt service special assessment revenues on all acreage of benefited land.
2018 Capital Projects Fund – The Project Fund accounts for construction of infrastructure improvements funded by the Series 2018 Bonds within the boundaries of the District.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Non-current Governmental Assets/Liabilities
GASB Statement 34 requires that non-current governmental assets, such as land and buildings, and non-current governmental liabilities, such as general obligation bonds, be reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide Statement of Net Position.
Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position
Cash and Investments
Chapter 280, Florida Statutes require state and local governmental units to deposit monies with financial institutions classified as "Qualified Public Depositories," a multiple financial institution pool whereby groups of securities pledged by the various financial institutions provide common collateral from their deposits of public funds. This pool is provided as additional insurance to the federal depository insurance and allows for additional assessments against the member institutions, providing full insurance for public deposits.
The District is authorized to invest in those financial instruments as established by Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. The authorized investments consist of:
Direct obligations of the United States Treasury;
The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperative Act of 1969;
Interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in authorized qualified public depositories;
Securities and Exchange Commission, registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency.
Cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less and held in a qualified public depository as defined by Chapter 280.02, Florida Statutes.

Restricted Assets
Certain assets of the District are classified as restricted assets on the Statement of Net Position because their use is limited either by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation; or by restrictions imposed externally by creditors.   In a fund with both restricted and unrestricted assets, qualified expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted net position and then from unrestricted net position.

Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include land, construction in progress, infrastructure, improvements and equipment, are reported in governmental activities.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position (Continued)
Capital Assets (Continued)
The District defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. The valuation basis for all assets is historical cost.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend its useful life are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Depreciation of capital assets is computed and recorded by utilizing the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the various classes of depreciable capital assets are as follows:

Buildings and improvements	7-39 years
Infrastructure	20-40 years
Improvement	10 years
Machinery and equipment	5-10 years
Unamortized Bond Discounts
Bond discounts associated with the issuance of revenue bonds are amortized according to the effective interest method. For financial reporting, unamortized bond discounts are netted against the applicable long-term debt.
Prepaid Bond Insurance
Bond insurance associated with the issuance of new debt. The prepaid amount will be amortized over the life of the associated bonds.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources is the consumption of net position by the government that is applicable to a future reported period. Deferred amount on refunding is amortized and recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of the bond.

Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future reporting period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The District only has one time that qualifies for reporting in the category. Unavailable revenues are reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that amounts become available.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position (Continued)
Budgets
Budgets are prepared and adopted after public hearings for the governmental funds, pursuant to Chapter 190 Florida Statutes. The District utilizes the same basis of accounting for budgets as it does for revenues and expenditures in its various funds. Formal budgets are adopted for the general and debt service funds. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. All budgeted appropriations lapse at year end.

NOTE	B	–		RECONCILIATION	OF	GOVERNMENT-WIDE	AND	FUND	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-wide Statement of Net Position

“Total fund balances” of the District’s governmental funds, $4,341,662, differs from “net position” of governmental activities, $73,301,082, reported in the Statement of Net Position. This difference primarily results from the long-term economic focus of the Statement of Net Position versus the current financial resources focus of the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet. The effect of the differences is illustrated below.

Capital related items

When capital assets (land and improvements and construction in progress that are to be used in governmental activities) are purchased or constructed, the cost of those assets is reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, the Statement of Net Position included those capital assets among the assets of the District as a whole.

Land and improvements	$	84,410,571	
Construction in progress	1,885,681	
Infrastructure	39,039,107	
Improvements	562,032	
Less: accumulated depreciation	 	(18,073,424)	
Total	$ 107,823,967 	

Prepaid bond insurance

Prepaid bond insurance is a non-current asset related to insurance purchased at the time new debt was issued by the District.

Prepaid bond insurance, net	$	598,030

NOTE	B	–		RECONCILIATION	OF	GOVERNMENT-WIDE	AND	FUND	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-wide Statement of Net Position (Continued)

Deferred outflows of resources

The deferred amount on refunding is reported at the fund level as an expenditure, at the government-wide level it is reported as a deferred outflow of resources.
Deferred amount on refunding, net	$	670,291
Long-term debt transactions

Long-term liabilities applicable to the District’s governmental activities are not due and payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. All liabilities (both current and long-term) are reported in the Statement of Net Position.

Bonds payable	$	(39,850,000)

Certain discounts are reflected net of amortization expense as a reduction of bonds payable in the Statement of Net Position.

Bonds discount, net	$	457,142

Deferred inflow of resources

The deferred gain on refunding is a deferred inflow of resources over the remaining life of the bond and not related to the current period. Accordingly, deferred inflow of resources are not reported in the fund level financial statements.

Deferred gain on refunding	$	(760)

Accrued interest

Accrued liabilities in the Statement of Net Position differ from the amount reported in governmental funds due to the accrued interest on bonds.

Accrued interest	$	(739,250)

NOTE	B	–		RECONCILIATION	OF	GOVERNMENT-WIDE	AND	FUND	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the Statement of Activities

The “net change in fund balances” for government funds, $(210,590), differs from the “change in net position” for governmental activities, $2,549,398, reported in the Statement of Activities. The differences arise primarily from the long-term economic focus of the Statement of Activities versus the current financial resources focus of the governmental funds. The effect of the differences is illustrated below.

Capital related items

When capital assets that are to be used in governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the resources expended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in the Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation. As a result, fund balances decrease by the amount of financial resources expended, whereas net position decrease by the amount of depreciation charged for the year.

Depreciation	$	(2,008,158)
Capital outlay	 	$563,343
Total	$	1,444,815

Long-term debt transactions
The issuance of long-term debt and bond discount is reported as an other financing source/(use) and the repayments of bond principal are reported as expenditures in the governmental funds and, thus, effect fund balance because current financial resources have been added or used.

Principal payments	$	4,225,000

In the Statement of Activities, the deferred gain on refunding is recognized as a reduction of interest expense and amortized over the remaining life of the bond.

Deferred gain on refunding amortization	$	50

In the Statement of Activities, bond discounts, prepaid bond insurance and deferred amounts on refunding are amortized over the life of the bonds at the government-wide level. This is the amount of current year amortization.

Amortization	$	(110,327)

NOTE	B	–		RECONCILIATION	OF	GOVERNMENT-WIDE	AND	FUND	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2. Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the Statement of Activities (Continued)

At the government -wide level interest is accrued on long term debt, whereas, at the fund level interest is recognized when paid. This is the current year change in accrued interest.

Accrued interest	$	90,080

NOTE C – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
All operating deposits are held in qualified public depositories and are included on the accompanying balance sheet as cash and investments.

Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District's deposits may not be returned to it. The District does not have a formal deposit policy for custodial credit risk; however, they follow the provisions of Chapter 280, Florida Statutes regarding deposits and investments. As of September 30, 2020, the District's bank balance was $223,759 and the carrying value was $223,390. Exposure to custodial credit risk was as follows. The District maintains cash deposits in a qualified public depository in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 280, Florida Statutes, which means that all deposits are fully insured by Federal Depositors Insurance or collateralized under Chapter 280, Florida Statutes.
As of September 30, 2020, the District had the following investments and maturities:

 	Investment		Maturities	Fair Value	 First American Government
Obligation Fund	44 days*	$ 2,570,746
U S Bank Money Market Fund	N/A	 	1,413,602  

Total

*Weighted average maturity

  $ 3,984,348  

The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy recently established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. The District uses a market approach in measuring fair value that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets, liabilities, or groups of assets and liabilities.

NOTE C – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits (Continued)
Assets or liabilities are classified into one of three levels. Level 1 is the most reliable and is based on quoted price for identical assets, or liabilities, in an active market. Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs when obtaining quoted prices for identical or similar assets, or liabilities, in markets that are not active. Level 3 is the least reliable and uses significant unobservable inputs that uses the best information available under the circumstances, which includes the District’s own data in measuring unobservable inputs.
Based on the criteria in the preceding paragraph, the investment in First American Government Obligation Fund is a Level 1 asset.
Interest Rate Risk
The District does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.

Credit Risk

The District's investments in treasury funds, commercial paper, and government loans are limited by state statutory requirements and bond compliance. The District has no investment policy that would further limit its investment choices. As of September 30, 2020, the District's investment in the First American Government Obligation Fund was rated AAAm by Standard & Poor's.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The District places no limit on the amount it may invest in any one investment. The investments in First American Government Obligation Fund are 65% and the U S Bank Money Market Fund are 35% of the District’s total investments. The District considers any decline in fair value for certain investments to be temporary.

There were no claims or settled claims from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage.
NOTE H – TRI-PARTY AGREEMENT
On June 19, 2009, the District filed a complaint against one of the original developers (the “Developer”) and the bank holding the mortgage (the “Mortgage Holder”) seeking to foreclose special assessments levied by the District to secure the District's Series 2005 School Site Acquisition Bonds, Series 2005A Bonds, Series 2005B Bonds and Series 2006A-1 Bonds. The complaint also seeks to foreclose special assessments levied to fund the District's operation and maintenance expenses for Fiscal Year 2009. After the lawsuit was filed, the Developer transferred its interest in the subject real property to a separate landowner who, in turn, transferred the real property to a significant landowner (the “Landowner”). The Landowner has now intervened, but the Landowner’s intervention is subordinate to the main proceeding. With the transfer of the real property to the landowner, the Mortgage Holder released its mortgage and as a result, the District voluntarily dismissed the Mortgage Holder from the foreclosure on December 21, 2010. In addition, the Developer ceased defending the action, and the Court entered a default against it. Presently, the Landowner and the District are the only parties actively involved in the litigation. The Court entered partial summary judgment in favor of the District on July 23, 2012.
In March 2013, the Board adopted Resolution 2013-04, which approved the bifurcation of the Series 2005 A and B Bonds, a Tri-Party Agreement and a Forbearance Agreement.

As of September 30, 2020, the "SPE" did not hold any assets or liabilities.

In November 2020 and May 2021, the District made prepayments on the Series 2014B Bonds in the amount of $1,545,000 and $1,210,000, respectively.

In addition, in November 2020 and May 2021, the District made prepayments on the Series 2018A-2 Bonds in the amount of $15,000 and $10,000, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Board of Supervisors
Arborwood Community Development District Lee County, Florida

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Arborwood Community Development District, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated July 16, 2021.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered Arborwood Community Development District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Arborwood Community Development District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Arborwood Community Development District's internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Arborwood Community Development District's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
