Management's Report The management of Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) has prepared - and is responsible for - the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements and related information included in this report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and follow the standards outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. | |||
To ensure the integrity of our financial statements, OUC maintains a system of internal accounting controls. These internal accounting controls are supported by written policies and procedures and an organizational structure that appropriately assigns responsibilities to mitigate risks. These controls have been put in place to ensure OUC's assets are properly safeguarded and the books and records reflect only those transactions that have been duly authorized. OUC's controls are evaluated on an ongoing basis by both management and OUC's internal auditors. | |||
In addition, Deloitte & Touche LLP, OUC's independent public accountants, considers certain elements of the internal control system to determine their auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements. | |||
Based on the statements above, it is management's assertion that the financial statements do not omit disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the information nor do they improperly include untrue statements of a material fact or statements of a misleading nature. | |||

Chilled water operations incurred construction costs of $10 million to construct the north loop of the downtown district. Inaddition, chilled water net plant assets increased by $18 million as a result of OUC's acquisition of Trigen-Cinergy Solutions' (TCS) rights in the chilled water operations in April 2004.

The negotiated settlement with the FDOT includes a cash settlement in the amount of $15 million and the exchange of land parcels. The cash proceeds from this transaction have been designated by OUC's governing board for transition and future capital asset costs related to the taking of the land at the Administration building site.

In addition to the impairment expense, OUC relocated its Customer Service operations to ensure customer access during the upcoming construction period. Total costs for the relocation as well as temporary parking facilities for those remaining at the Administration building site during construction are estimated at $6 million of which $1.6 million was spent in 2005. Accrued transition costs that have not yet been incurred as of September 30, 2005, $4.4 million, are included in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading of Accounts payable and accrued expenses.

In July 2005 OUC negotiated a settlement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as a result of an eminent domain action to secure a portion of the land under which OUC's Administration building's parking garage resides for the expansion of the 1-4/SR 408 interchange. | 2005 compared to 2004: Restricted and internally designated assets decreased $12.3 million in 2005. This overall change is the result of several key factors including the use of $11.1 million in fuel stabilization funds to mitigate rising fuel prices and $32.5 million used for capital projects including the transmission and chilled water projects. These uses were offset by the replenishment of $11 million of renewal and replacement funds for grant funds received under the Federal Emergency Management program, the receipt of $13.4 million of net funds from the FDOT for the capital asset settlement, increases in deposits and advances including a $3 million increase of funds received from the Stanton A generation facility participants to cover their portion of current estimated fuel costs and increased reserve funds as a result of annual requirements in the amount of $5.9 million. | ||
The negotiated settlement with the FDOT includes a cash settlement in the amount of $15 million and the exchange of land parcels. The cash proceeds from this transaction have been designated by OUC's governing board for transition and future capital asset costs related to the taking of the land at the Administration building site. These proceeds, net of $1.6 million of costs incurred to date, have been included in the renewal and replacement fund at September 30, 2005.In respect to the capital assets associated with this transaction, OUC early adopted Governmental Accounting Standard No. 42 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries. | 2004 compared to 2003: Restricted and internally designated assets decreased $71 million in 2004. This decrease is due to a combination of several different items including the use of $52 million of construction funds for capital assets, the use of $17 million of fuel stabilization funds to mitigate higher fuel costs, the planned usage of $21 million of liability reduction and base rate stabilization funds to offset changes in the wholesale energy markets and the use of $10 million of renewal and replacement funds for hurricane restoration. These usages were offset by the recovery of $12 million of liability reduction funds from the defeasance of debt in 2002, the increase of $6 million of designated principal debt service requirements as a result of the issuance of the pension bonds in November 2003, the increase of $9 million for designated system development costs and other deposits and advances. | ||
In accordance with this guidance OUC recognized an impairment expense to write-down the Administration building to the lower of cost or market in the amount of $6.7 million. In addition to the impairment expense, OUC relocated its Customer Service operations to ensure customer access during the upcoming construction period. Total costs for the relocation as well as temporary parking facilities for those remaining at the Administration building site during construction are estimated at $6 million of which $1.6 million was spent in 2005.

The following describes the key risks associated with these assets and the manner in which OUC mitigates these risks: | |||
* Interest Rate Risk: The risk associated with interest rate changes is addressed in OUC's investment policy by requiring a minimum of 10% of the operating portfolio be held in highly marketable securities with maturities not exceeding 30 days. This requirement enables OUC to mitigate fair value changes within the portfolio and reduce its exposure to this risk. In addition, the investment policy limits maturities based on investment type and credit strength and invokes the "prudent person" rule requiring the portfolio manager to consider market conditions that might adversely affect the portfolio value to ensure overall interest risk is mitigated. | |||

The increase in sales and rates account for the $685,026 increase in charge for services for Electric, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation services.* With the continued growth within the Wastewater customer base the anticipated increase in charges for services should be reflective within the next fiscal year.* Growth within the City's municipal limits also contributed to additional customers within the'service area for the City of Bushnell. | * The special revenue - cemetery fund has reserve fund balance $503,158. | ||
These annexations generated an increase in the customer base, therefore increasing charges for services revenue.7 Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds As noted earlier, the City of Bushnell uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. | For the most part, increases in expenses closely paralleled inflation and growth in the demand for services. | ||
Governmenudfunds. | Business-type Activities. The city considered all four of the business-type activities - electric, water, wastewater and sanitation major funds. Business-type activities decreased the City of Bushnell's net assets by $321,267 of the total in the government's net assets. A key element of this decrease was the Wastewater utility. With this being a newer utility, projected revenues were not met for the fiscal year. | ||
The focus of the City of Bushnell's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. | The City expects this utility to grow in the upcoming year due to a growth in the commercial areas and enhancements to the facility to accommodate more connections. Other factors for the net assets are as follows: | ||
Such information is useful in assessing the City of Bushnell's financing requirements. | * Charges for services for business-type activities increased by 18%. This can be attributed to the increase in sales due to the municipal limit increase and commercial growth. | ||
In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Bushnell's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $1,013,805 an increase of $65,454. in comparison with the prior year.Approximately 51% of this total amount constitutes unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. | * Revenues also increased as a result of a modest increase in sales. The increase in sales and rates account for the $685,026 increase in charge for services for Electric, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation services. | ||
The remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed to pay and perpetual care for the cemetery.l I The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Bushnell. | * With the continued growth within the Wastewater customer base the anticipated increase in charges for services should be reflective within the next fiscal year. | ||
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund and the total fund balance reached $510,643. | * Growth within the City's municipal limits also contributed to additional customers within the' service area for the City of Bushnell.

Total fund balance represents 19 % of total general fund expenditures. | Total fund balance represents 19 % of total general fund expenditures. | ||
The fund balance of the City of Bushnell's general fund increased by $47,989 during the current fiscal year. Key factors in this growth are as follows: | |||
* The City Council took a proactive choice to increase ad valorem taxes in an effort to diminish the ongoing decline in fund balance. The current millage levy is 4.50. | |||
L The departments such as administration, police, street, parks and recreation have reduced expenditures in an attempt to assist with the increase in fund balance for the general fund. | |||
LD} Proprietaryfunds. The City of Bushnell's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. | |||
Unrestricted net assets of the Electric, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation fund at the end of the year amount to $1,041,797. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City of Bushnell's business-type activities. | |||
Govenmental Funds Budeetarv Information Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget were relatively minor and can be briefly summarized as follows: | |||
* Increase in Grant revenue, due to additional funding being received. | |||
* Increase in several departments for additional expense related to Grant Funding. | |||
* Slight increase in Operating Expenses of most departments due to a rise in the cost of diesel and gasoline. | |||
During the year, revenues exceeded budgetary estimates greater than expenditures exceeded budgetary estimates, thus eliminating the need to draw upon existing fund balance and actually increasing General Fund Balance | |||

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA Note 1- Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies L The financial statements of the City of Bushnell, Florida (the City) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Significant City accounting policies are described below. | |||
Reporting Entity The City is a political subdivision of the State of Florida located in Sumter County. The City was established under the legal authority of the Laws of Florida, Chapter 57-105. The City operates under a council-manager form of government. The legislative branch of the City is composed of a four-member elected City Council, and an elected mayor. The Mayor and City Council are governed by the City Charter by state and local laws and regulations. The Mayor U | |||
and City Council are responsible for the establishment and adoption of policy. The execution of such policy is the responsibility of the City Manager. The City provides services to its residents in many areas, including public safety (police), highways and streets, utilities, sanitation, culture L | |||
and recreation, public improvements, and general administrative services. | |||
In evaluating the City as a reporting entity, management has addressed all potential component units (traditionally separate reporting entities) for which the City may or may not be financially accountable and, as such, be included within the City's financial statements. The City (the primary government) is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and (1) it is able to impose its will on the organization, or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefit to or impose specific financial burden on the City. Additionally, the primary government is required to consider other U | |||
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Management has determined that there is no component units that U the City is required to report on. | |||
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements L The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. | |||
For the most part, the effect of interfind activity has been removed from these statements. L Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for services. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct U | |||
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment Indirect expenses are allocated automatically and certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual function and activities. Program revenues include: | |||
: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment; and 2) grants and U | |||
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.. | |||

MANAGEMENT LETTER After 104 years of lighting, cooling and powering the homes and businesses of Osceola County, the diesel generators at Kissimmee Utility Authority's Roy E. Hansel Generating Station fell silent on September 30. | |||
The decommissioning marked the end of an era for KUA, as the plant's diesel units helped to form the city of Kissimmee and mold a way of life for its citizens. | |||
As we celebrated the decommissioning of the plant, we took a few pictures to document its historical value. The photos seem to speak for themselves when it comes to describing the character of the plant, so we compiled some of them for your enjoyment in this annual report. | |||
In addition, this report will shine a light on KUA's many accomplishments of 2005. Here's a small sample of what yodll read about: | |||
As part of its ongoing commitment to introduce products and services that enable customers to interact, transact and protect their families, KUA launched residential and commercial security monitoring services this year. | |||
KUA also unveiled a new interactive voice response (IVR) system which allows customers to pay their utility bill over the telephone. | |||
In preparation for this year's hurricane season, KUA introduced a power restoration alert system called KUA ALERTS that delivers periodic text messages with updates on power restoration after a hurricane or severe storm passes through. | |||
In a bid to boost downtown revitalization efforts, KUA launched a free Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) mesh network or 'hot zone" in downtown Kissimmee. | |||
Just 14 months after launching telephone service, KUA reached a major milestone this year with the signing of its 4,000th telephone subscriber. | Just 14 months after launching telephone service, KUA reached a major milestone this year with the signing of its 4,000th telephone subscriber. | ||
Heat and high humidity in Central Florida led to seven record-setting days for electricity demand by KUA customers this year.A survey conducted by the Orlando Business Journal named KUA one of Central Florida's best places to work, and for the eighth consecutive year, the Orlando Sentinel named KUA a "Mop 100 Company for Working Families." As you can see, there were many bright spots in the year. Read on.

Welsh Nancy E Gemskie President and General Manager Chairman of the Board At just after 1:00 noon on September 30, 2005, the diesel generators at Kissimmee Utility Authority's Roy E. Hansel Generating Station were powered down -forever. The decommissioning honors went to KUA President and General Manager Jim Welsh, KUA Chairman Nancy Gemskie and two daughters of Roy Hansel, in whom the plant is named.The KUA board of directors authorized the decommissioning of eight diesel units at the utility's downtown Kissimmee power plant because they were no longer economical to operate. The decommissioned units ranged in age from 22 to 45 years old and had a total generating capacity of 18 megawatts (MW)The oldest unit, Unit No. 8, began operation in 1960. Five additional units (Units No. 14, i5, 16 17 and is) began operation in 1972. Units No. 19 and 20 were refurbished in 1983. AU of the units were fueled by natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil. A separate 50 MW combined cycle plant (made up of Units 21, 22 and 23) and related facilities will continue to operate at the Hansel site until its anticipated retirement date around 2013.The decommissioned generators and their predecessors produced electricity continuously since 1901 and were housed inside a historic brick building on the northwest shore of take lbhopekaliga in downtown Kissimmee. | A survey conducted by the Orlando Business Journal named KUA one of Central Florida's best places to work, and for the eighth consecutive year, the Orlando Sentinel named KUA a "Mop 100 Company for Working Families." | ||
The historic building and adjacent property will be returned to the city of Kissimmee for development The retirement of these units will have no effect on the reliability of service for KUA customers, and because of attrition, no utility employees will be immediately impacted by the retirement of the units.MThis plant has built an extraordinary record of achievement because it possessed one exceptional asset generations of operators who were willing to do what it took to keep the lights on in Kissimmee,' | As you can see, there were many bright spots in the year. Read on. We're sure you'll be impressed. | ||
said Welsh. 'And for that, they deserve out profound thanks.-Decommissioning and site clean-up began in October, and will take approximately six to eight months to completex Prior to its shutdown, KUA opened the doors to the historic powerplant one last time for Individuals wishing to take a final tour of the- facility that served generations of Kissimmee residents. | Sincerely (9.2 emC.

Enjoy. | At just after 1:00 noon on September 30, 2005, the diesel generators at Kissimmee Utility Authority's Roy E. Hansel Generating Station were powered down - forever. The decommissioning honors went to KUA President and General Manager Jim Welsh, KUA Chairman Nancy Gemskie and two daughters of Roy Hansel, in whom the plant is named. | ||
The KUA board of directors authorized the decommissioning of eight diesel units at the utility's downtown Kissimmee power plant because they were no longer economical to operate.

AU of the units were fueled by natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil. A separate 50 MW combined cycle plant (made up of Units 21, 22 and 23) and related facilities will continue to operate at the Hansel site until its anticipated retirement date around 2013. | ||
The decommissioned generators and their predecessors produced electricity continuously since 1901 and were housed inside a historic brick building on the northwest shore of take lbhopekaliga in downtown Kissimmee. The historic building and adjacent property will be returned to the city of Kissimmee for development The retirement of these units will have no effect on the reliability of service for KUA customers, and because of attrition, no utility employees will be immediately impacted by the retirement of the units. | |||
MThis plant has built an extraordinary record of achievement because it possessed one exceptional asset generations of operators who were willing to do what it took to keep the lights on in Kissimmee,' said Welsh. 'And for that, they deserve out profound thanks.- | |||
Decommissioning and site clean-up began in October, and will take approximately six to eight months to completex Prior to its shutdown, KUA opened the doors to the historic powerplant one last time for Individuals wishing to take a final tour of the- facility that served generations of Kissimmee residents.

Assets Utility plant, net:
2005 compared to 2004: In2005, utility plant increased $19.3 million net of accumulated depreciation. Current year plant additions were $112.7 million of which 23% or close to $26 million was incurred for transmission improvements to the St. Cloud and Lake Nona substations. An additional $39.5 million was spent for Distribution related projects and
$12.7 million of new utility plant assets were capitalized for Chilled Water in conjunction with the completion of the north loop of the downtown district. Also during 2005, $4 million was incurred for the implementation of a Customer Information System.
2004 compared to 2003: In 2004, utility plant increased $41 million net of accumulated depreciation. New plant additions including construction work in progress amounted to $112 million and included the completion of the additional shared facilities at the Stanton Energy Center. These facilities were constructed to support the operations at the Stanton A (SECA) generation plant and are owned by OUC and the participants of Stanton Units 1 & 2, at their proportionate ownership interests. Costs incurred to construct these facilities spanned from 2003 to 2004 and totaled
$32 million. Distribution/transmission and water projects also contributed to the amount of assets capitalized with additions of $48 million and $13 million, respectively, including the expansion of two substations and the completion of the Sky Lake water treatment plant. Chilled water operations incurred construction costs of $10 million to construct the north loop of the downtown district. Inaddition, chilled water net plant assets increased by $18 million as a result of OUC's acquisition of Trigen-Cinergy Solutions' (TCS) rights in the chilled water operations in April 2004. TCS' rights were netted against utility plant in 2003 to properly reflect their share of future revenue streams.

2003 2004 2005 l Electric U Water U Chilled Water 0 Common Capital asset settlement:
In July 2005 OUC negotiated a settlement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as a result of an eminent domain action to secure a portion of the land under which OUC's Administration building's parking garage resides for the expansion of the 1-4/SR 408 interchange. The negotiated settlement with the FDOT includes a cash settlement in the amount of $15 million and the exchange of land parcels. The cash proceeds from this transaction have been designated by OUC's governing board for transition and future capital asset costs related to the taking of the land at the Administration building site. These proceeds, net of $1.6 million of costs incurred to date, have been included in the renewal and replacement fund at September 30, 2005.
In respect to the capital assets associated with this transaction, OUC early adopted Governmental Accounting Standard No. 42 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries. In accordance with this guidance OUC recognized an impairment expense to write-down the Administration building to the lower of cost or market in the amount of $6.7 million. In addition to the impairment expense, OUC relocated its Customer Service operations to ensure customer access during the upcoming construction period. Total costs for the relocation as well as temporary parking facilities for those remaining at the Administration building site during construction are estimated at $6 million of which $1.6 million was spent in 2005. Accrued transition costs that have not yet been incurred as of September 30, 2005, $4.4 million, are included in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading of Accounts payable and accrued expenses. The remaining proceeds from the settlement, $2.3 million, were deferred and included on the Statement of Net Assets as regulatory liabilities at September 30, 2005.

Assets (continued)
Restricted and Internally designated assets:
2005 compared to 2004: Restricted and internally designated assets decreased $12.3 million in 2005. This overall change is the result of several key factors including the use of $11.1 million in fuel stabilization funds to mitigate rising fuel prices and $32.5 million used for capital projects including the transmission and chilled water projects. These uses were offset by the replenishment of $11 million of renewal and replacement funds for grant funds received under the Federal Emergency Management program, the receipt of $13.4 million of net funds from the FDOT for the capital asset settlement, increases in deposits and advances including a $3 million increase of funds received from the Stanton A generation facility participants to cover their portion of current estimated fuel costs and increased reserve funds as a result of annual requirements in the amount of $5.9 million.
2004 compared to 2003: Restricted and internally designated assets decreased $71 million in 2004. This decrease is due to a combination of several different items including the use of $52 million of construction funds for capital assets, the use of $17 million of fuel stabilization funds to mitigate higher fuel costs, the planned usage of $21 million of liability reduction and base rate stabilization funds to offset changes in the wholesale energy markets and the use of $10 million of renewal and replacement funds for hurricane restoration. These usages were offset by the recovery of $12 million of liability reduction funds from the defeasance of debt in 2002, the increase of $6 million of designated principal debt service requirements as a result of the issuance of the pension bonds in November 2003, the increase of $9 million for designated system development costs and other deposits and advances.
Current assets:
2005 compared to 2004: Current assets increased in 2005 as a result of the higher fuel cost component of retail and wholesale customer receivables as well as the impact of this change on accrued unbilled receivables.
2004 compared to 2003: Current assets increased in 2004 as a result of the culmination of small fluctuations including a slight increase in operating cash, customer and participant receivables offset by lower fuel for generation inventory.
Other assets:
2005 compared to 2004: Other assets decreased $30.6 million as compared to prior year primarily due to the recovery of $25 million of storm restoration costs under the Federal Emergency Management program from hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne in 2004. The remaining change isthe result of the amortization of the long-term advance pension funding of $3 million and the systematic amortization of other deferred regulatory assets.
2004 compared to 2003: In 2004, other assets increased $66 million. This increase was due to the advance funding of the actuarial pension liability, the deferral of net storm restoration costs anticipated to be recovered from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs and the initial lump sum payment of $5 million for current contracted customers as part of OUC's acquisition of TCS's 51% share of the chilled water operations. The advance funded pension amount was provided by the issuance of $55 million in bonds in November 2003, and is being systematically amortized over a fifteen-year period. In 2004, $2.5 million was recognized in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets under the Unit/department expenses heading and
$3 million was reclassified to current assets for charges to be recognized in 2005. The long-term advance pension fund amount and the deferred storm restoration costs are $49 million and $25 million, respectively, at September 30, 2004.
Liabilities Long-term debt, net:
2005 compared to 2004: In 2005 long-term debt, net decreased as a result of the annual required principal payment and systematic amortization of unamortized discounts and deferred amounts. OUC continues to maintain its credit ratings as follows:

Liabilities (continued)
Long-term debt, net (continued):
2004 compared to 2003: Long-term debt, net of unamortized discounts and deferred amounts on refunding, increased in 2004 as compared to 2003 due to the refunding of $100 million of outstanding bond anticipation notes scheduled to mature in September 2004 and the issuance of taxable variable rate debt in the amount of $55 million to fund a portion of the accrued pension actuarial liability. In August 2004, OUC issued $217 million of fixed rate debt to refund outstanding bonds totaling $131 million and outstanding bond anticipation notes of $100 million.
The issuance of the taxable pension bonds in November 2003 activated the provisions of the General Bond Resolution, which places all debt on a parity basis and modifies several previous resolution covenants. OUC's credit ratings were affirmed subsequent to the activation of this resolution.
Current liabilities:
2005 compared to 2004: Current liabilities increased in 2005 as compared to 2004 as a result of rising fuel prices and the accrual of eminent domain transition costs offset by the exclusion of storm restoration accruals in 2004.
2004 compared to 2003: The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to the refunding of $100 million of bond anticipation notes that were scheduled to mature in September 2004. These notes were refunded in August 2004.
This decrease was offset by a $36 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses including payables related to OUC's storm restoration efforts and higher fuel and purchased power payables.
Other liabilities, deferred charges and commitments:
2005 compared to 2004: Other liabilities decreased in 2005 as a result of the usage of $11.1 million of fuel stabilization funds to mitigate higher fuel costs and the planned usage of $10.1 million in liability reduction and deferred gain on sale funds to mitigate the demand payments and annual depreciation costs of the new Stanton A generation facility.
In 2005 OUC's governing board approved the execution of the joint development of the Clean Coal Technology project at the Stanton Energy Center. The estimated total project cost is $792 million of which $305 million will be contributed by OUC. A grant in the amount of $235 million has been provided from the Department of Energy and the remaining amount is to be provided by Southern Company.
2004 compared to 2003: The change in other liabilities and deferred charges as compared to 2003 is due to the use of $50 million of regulatory deferrals including $17 million of fuel stabilization funds and the planned usage of asset transition and base rate stabilization funds of $21 million.
Changes in Net Assets Operating revenues:
2005 compared to 2004: In 2005, operating revenues increased $81 million or 12% as compared to 2004 primarily due to the increased recovery of rising fuel and purchased power costs for retail and resale revenue. Rising fuel and purchased power costs accounted for close to $65.7 million of the total change in revenues in 2005. In addition to this change, OUC recognized an increase in revenues as a result of warmer weather in the months of July and August, contributing to the overall annual 3%increase in electric consumption in 2005 as compared to 2004. Other changes to operating revenues included an increase in water revenues in 2005 as a result of a rate change and the continued enhancement of conservation rates.
Services fees which include revenues from the Chilled Water and Streetlight operating segment, also increased as a result of customer growth.
2004 compared to 2003: Total operating revenues increased $113 million or 20% as compared to 2003. The most significant portion of this increase was due to the recovery of rising fuel and purchased power costs for retail and resale electric fuel revenue. Retail and resale fuel revenue increased $75 million or 40% as compared to 2003 with 72% of this increase attributable to resale sales. Resale energy revenue was $10 million higher in 2004 as compared to 2003 due to the use of regulatory funds to mitigate higher fixed rate demand payments for purchased generation capacity.
Retail energy revenue is consistent with 2003 due to milder weather throughout the year. Milder weather was offset by an overall 4%growth in the electric services customer base. Water revenue in 2004 increased $4 million or 9%as compared to 2003 as a result of a 19% decrease in rainfall and a 3%growth in customer base.

Changes in Net Assets (continued)
Service fees increased $14 million or 67% in 2004 as compared to 2003. The sources of revenue under this heading have expanded over the past several years and now include shared facility revenue earned from the SECA generation facility in the amount of $5 million. In addition, the acquisition of TCS' operating rights in Chilled Water increased revenue as compared to 2003 by $4 million. Other increases include the implementation of late fees and continued expansion of streetlight revenue.
The following charts compare revenue by customer source:
September 30, 2005 September 30, 2004 r Waterr Operating expenses:
2005 compared to 2004: Fuel and purchased power costs increased $55 million or 17% as compared to 2004 due to rising fuel costs and a production increase of 4% in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily stemming from increased usage of the Stanton A combined cycle generation facility.
Unit/department expenses increased $11.5 million in 2005 or 8% as compared to 2004. A portion of this increase is due to the exclusion of deferred internal labor costs as a result of Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne in 2004, higher utility costs as a result of rising fuel costs, increased water operational costs to ensure compliance with the new guidelines of the Consumptive Use Permit secured in May 2004 and overall inflationary cost increases.
Depreciation and amortization increased $5.8 million or 7% in 2005 as a result of new capital additions in both 2005 and 2004.
2004 compared to 2003: Costs related to fuel for generation and purchased power increased $97 million, or 44%. This increase is due to an increase in fuel prices and the number of megawatts generated. The average cost per megawatt generated in 2004 as compared to 2003 increased 38% as a result of volatile fuel prices and higher transportation costs. In respect to quantity, OUC generated 18% more megawatts in 2004 as compared to 2003. In 2004 the SECA purchased power agreement became effective increasing OUC's flexibility and the amount of megawatts acquired through purchased power agreements. In comparison to 2003 megawatts acquired through purchased power agreements increased 24%.
Unit/department expenses were $17 million or 15% higher in 2004 largely due to the increase in fringe benefit costs. Costs for pension and medical increased approximately $10 million in 2004. In addition, SECA operating costs were $6 million in 2004 as compared to $0 in 2003.
Depreciation and amortization increased $9 million or 13% as compared to 2003 as a result of the increase in OUC's utility plant base including the commencement of depreciation for the SECA generation plant and supporting shared facilities in the amount of $5 million. Also included under the heading of depreciation and amortization are amounts recorded for asset replacements prior to their maturity in the amount of $1.9 million.

Changes in Net Assets (continued)
Net non-operating expense:
2005 compared to 2004: Total net non-operating expense increased $6.9 million as compared to 2004 as a result of a lower amount of deferred gain on sale funds recognized in 2005 offset by higher interest expense. In 2004 OUC amortized gain on sale funds of $14 million compared to $4million in 2005 net of the capital asset settlement gain and the eminent domain costs. This decrease was offset by higher interest expense in the amount of $2.5 million.
2004 compared to 2003: Total net non-operating expense decreased $16 million or 26% in 2004 as compared to 2003 largely due to the governing board's action to recognize $14 million of deferred gain on sale of assets. The remaining change of $1.6 million isdue to excess proceeds received from the restructuring of the escrow deposit trust fund for defeased bonds.
Contributions in aid of construction:
Contributions in 2005 were consistent with those received in 2004. In2004 however, contributions in aid of construction increased $3.6 million or 35% as compared to 2003 as aresult of OUC securing a higher amount of donated water utility plant assets from developers. Donated water utility assets increased $2million in 2004.

- A Aa Note A - The Organization Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) was created in 1923 by a Special Act of the Florida Legislature as a statutory commission of the State of Florida. The Act confers upon OUC the rights and powers to set rates and charges for electric and water services. OUC isresponsible for the acquisition, generation, transmission and distribution of electric and water services to its customers within Orange and Osceola Counties.
OUC's governing board consists of five members including the Mayor of the City of Orlando. Members serve without compensation and with the exception of the Mayor, who isan ex-officio member of OUC, may serve no more than two full consecutive four-year terms.
Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reporting entity: OUC meets the criteria of an "other stand-alone government" as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity and No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units.
Within OUC's stand-alone government reporting structure are undivided interests in several utility plants, which are operated through participation agreements and are described in Note D.Title to the property isheld in accordance with the terms defined in each agreement, and as such, each party isobligated for its contractual share of operations. There are no separate entities or organizations associated with these agreements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation: OUC reports operating revenues and expenses separately from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering utility service in the forms of electric, water and chilled water. The principal operating revenues are charges to retail and wholesale customers and are recorded net of the provision for uncollectible accounts. Operating expenses include fuel and purchased power, unit/department, taxes, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses incurred outside of these definitions are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Basis of presentation: The financial statements of OUC are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for enterprise funds as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and in accordance with the accounting principles prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB),
where not in conflict with GASB. The accounting records are maintained in accordance with the accounting principles and methods prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) with the exception of contributions in aid of construction which are recorded in accordance with the standards prescribed by GASB.
OUC isa regulated enterprise and, as such, applies the accounting principles permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation (SFAS 71). Under SFAS 71, certain expenses and revenues are deferred and recognized in accordance with rate actions of OUC's governing board.
OUC has elected not to apply FASB statements and interpretations issued after November 30, 1989, as permitted by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and other Governmental Entities.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In2005, OUC implemented the following Governmental Accounting Standards:
- Statement of Governmental Accounting Standard (SGAS) No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures.
The implementation of this statement enhances the disclosures for cash, cash equivalents and investments and is included in Note E.

=I Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Statement of Governmental Accounting Standard (SGAS) No. 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries. This standard was early implemented in conjunction with the eminent domain action taken by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The action resulted in the taking of OUC's Administration building parking garage for the expressway enhancement project and isdisclosed in Note F - Regulatory Deferrals. A portion of this settlement, in accordance with OUC's governing board's action, was recorded as a regulatory liability.
Additional pronouncements issued by GASB currently being evaluated by OUC for future implementation are as follows:
- Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (SGAS) No. 43 and 45, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans and Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, respectively.
- Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (SGAS) No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section - an amendment to NCGA Statement 1.
Setting of rates: According to the existing laws of the State of Florida, the five board members of OUC act as the regulatory authority for the establishment of electric and water rates. These rates are set in accordance with the "rate structures" established by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC). The FPSC has the jurisdiction to regulate the electric "rate structures" of municipal utilities in Florida. A rate structure is defined as the rate relationship between customer class and among customers within rate classes and is distinguishable from the total amount of revenue requirements a utility may receive from rates.
Periodically OUC performs a rate adequacy study to determine the electric base and fuel revenue requirements.
Based on this study, current cost-of-service studies and regulations of the FPSC regarding electric rate structures, OUC's staff develops the electric rate schedules. Prior to the implementation of any rate change, OUC notifies customers individually, holds a public workshop, presents the rates to the governing board for approval and files the proposed tariffs with the FPSC. Water base rate requirements are studied and prepared in a similar manner excluding filing notification with the FPSC.
As a result of rising fuel prices, effective June 1, 2004 and March 1, 2005, OUC's governing board approved average electric fuel rate increases of 20.9% and 17.6%, respectively. The impact of these changes increased electric retail revenue 8%as compared to 2004. In addition, in November 2005 in response to continued rising fuel prices, OUC's governing board approved an average electric fuel rate increase of 41.3%. This change is effective January 2006. In respect to water rates, a 10% rate increase became effective on October 1, 2004.
Budgets: Revenue and expense budgets are prepared on an annual basis in accordance with OUC's budget policy and bond resolutions and submitted to the OUC board for approval prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Legal adoption of budgets is not required. Actual revenues and expenses are compared to the budget by operating unit as well as by line item. Variance analyses are prepared and submitted to OUC's governing board each month as required by OUC's budget policy and bond resolutions.
Utility plant: Utility plant is stated at historical cost with the exception of the fair value assets recorded in accordance with FERC Order 631, Accounting, Financial Reporting, and Rate Filing Requirements for Asset Retirement Obligations.
Historic utility plant costs include the costs of contract work, labor, materials and allocated indirect charges for equipment, supervision and engineering. The fair value assets for the nuclear generation facilities, in accordance with FPSC requirements, are subject to re-measuring every five years. The cost of electric or water utility plant assets retired, together with removal costs less salvage, are charged to accumulated depreciation with the exception of mass units of property which are accounted for under the vintage method of depreciation. In addition, when utility plant constituting an operating unit or system is sold or disposed of, the gain or loss on the sale or disposal is recorded as a gain (loss) on disposition of property unless regulatory action is taken by the governing board.
All assets are depreciated systematically using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life or license period of the asset. Total depreciation as a percentage of total depreciable assets was 3.1% and 3.2% for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash, cash equivalents and investments: Cash equivalents include all authorized instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less including all investments in the Surplus Funds Investment Pool Trust Fund and money market funds. These instruments and the money market funds are reported at amortized cost and the Florida Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (SBA), an external 2a-7 investment pool, is presented at the share price.
Investments are reported at fair market value with the exception of the funds held in the Debt Service Reserve funds. The Debt Service Reserve funds, in accordance with OUC's ratemaking model and their intention to retain these investments until the related debt instruments have reached maturity or the series has been refunded, are recorded at amortized cost. As a result of refunding activity in 2003 and 2004, the difference between amortized cost and fair value at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is immaterial. Realized and unrealized gains and losses for all investments except those executed in conjunction with a bond refunding are included in interest income on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Realized gains recognized as a result of bond refunding are included in unamortized discount and deferred amount on refunding. Premiums and discounts on bonds and other investments are amortized using the effective interest method.
Derivative instruments: Fuel related derivative transactions are executed in accordance with OUC's internally established Energy Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) whose primary objective is to minimize exposure to energy price volatility for cash flow and control purposes. The Committee has a defined organizational structure and responsibilities, which include approving all brokerage relationships, counter-party credit worthiness, and overall program compliance. In addition, the Energy Risk Management Program was established with specific volume and financial limits, which are 20%/ of the annual fuel budget and $30 million of the gross current market value of the derivatives. The recording of fuel derivatives, when appropriate, is included on the Statements of Net Assets as either an asset or liability measured at fair market value. Related gains and/or losses are deferred and recognized in the specific period in which the derivative is settled and included as a part of Fuel for generation and purchased power costs in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.
Financial related derivative transactions and interest rate swap agreements are executed to modify interest rates on outstanding debt. Periodically, as defined by the underlying agreement, the net differential between the fixed and variable rates is exchanged with the counter party and included as part of interest expense. No fair market value amounts related to these agreements are recorded on the Statements of Net Assets. Fair value amounts of these financial instruments are included in Note H.
Accounts receivables: OUC bills customers monthly on a cyclical basis. OUC recognizes an estimate of uncollectible accounts for its receivables based upon its historical experience with collections, and current energy market conditions.
Bad debt for estimated uncollectible accounts is recorded as a reduction of operating revenues in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.
Miscellaneous receivables include billings to power plant participants for their proportionate share of fuel, operating and capital costs. At September 30, 2005 and 2004 receivables from these participants are $7.9 million and
$8.3 million, respectively.
The customer net accounts receivable balance of $87.7 million and $65.6 million at September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, includes billings on behalf of the State and other local governments, net of administrative expenses of $12.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively. All receivables classified as current assets are anticipated to be collected within an operating cycle.
Accrued utility revenue: Revenues consumed but not billed at the end of the fiscal year for electric, water and chilled water are accrued.
Fuel for generation, materials and supplies inventory: Fuel oil, coal, materials and supplies inventories are stated at their average cost. Nuclear fuel is included in utility plant and amortized to fuel expense as it is used.
Prepaid expenses: Prepaid expenses represent costs that are anticipated to be recognized in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets in the near future including deferred long-term service agreement costs and current year advance pension funding amounts. Prepaid expenses at September 30, 2005 and 2004 are
$7.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Long-term advance pension asset: The long-term advance pension funding at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is
$46.2 and $49.2 million, respectively, and is being amortized based on annual actuarial valuations consistent with the maturity period of the related pension obligation bonds included in Note H.
Deferred debt: Deferred debt costs represent costs related to bond issuances, which are amortized using the bonds outstanding method and recorded net of accumulated amortization.
Unamortized discount and deferred amount on refunding: Unamortized discount on outstanding bonds is amortized using the bonds outstanding method and is recorded net of accumulated amortization. Deferred amounts on refunding represent deferred losses from bond refundings. These amounts are amortized over the shorter of the lives of the refunded debt or refunding debt using the straight-line method and are recorded net of accumulated amortization.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses: Included in this amount are vendor payables, accrued fuel costs including purchased power agreements, advance payments from power plant participants, and accrued wages including earned benefit time. The following table summarizes the significant payable balances included under this heading:
September 30 (Dollars in thousands) 2005 2004 Fuel and purchased power payables $ 56,543 $ 33,292 Vendor payables 18,630 38,418 Accrued earned benefit time 8,008 8,157 Advance payments from power plant participants 4,266 3,826 Other accounts payable and accrued expenses 10,332 6,362 Total $ 97.779 $ 90,055 Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue represents advanced funds received for future services that are amortized over a period consistent with the service agreement. In October 1999 in conjunction with the sale of the Indian River Plant OUC received prepaid transmission access fees that are being amortized over the life of the agreement.
Deferred revenue related to this agreement at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is $16.1 million and $16.9 million, respectively.
Asset retirement obligation and other liabilities: Included in this amount are the asset retirement obligations (ARO) related to the legal requirement of decommissioning OUC's interest in the St. Lucie Unit 2 and Crystal River Unit 3 nuclear generation facilities and advances from customers for construction. The asset retirement obligation was determined based on the most recent approved FPSC report provided to OUC by the owner-operators of these plants. The amount estimated for decommissioning of these facilities, in 2000 dollars, was $26.7 million and
$8.6 million for St. Lucie Unit 2 and Crystal River Unit 3, respectively. Adjusted to 2003 dollars, based on FPSC approved earnings rates, these amounts are $31.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively and the accretion period is consistent with each plant's license period. Amounts recorded at September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $33.2 million and $32.1 million and $11.4 million and $10.8 million, for St. Lucie Unit 2 and Crystal River Unit 3, respectively.
License expirations for St. Lucie and Crystal River are 2043 and 2016, respectively.
Contributions in aid of construction: Funds received from developers and customers for assets owned and maintained by OUC as well as funds received for system development fees are recorded as contributions in aid of construction in the period in which they have been received on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.

I Note D - Jointly Owned Operations OUC operated: OUC maintains fiscal, budgetary and operating control at four (4) power generation facilities for which there are undivided participant ownership interests. These undivided ownership interests are with the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) and Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA). Each agreement is limited to the generation facilities and excludes the external facilities.
OUC also maintains operational control of a wastewater treatment facility at the Stanton Units 1 & 2 site through an agreement with Orange County.
Non-OUC operated: OUC maintains an undivided participant interest with Florida Power & Light at their St.
Lucie Unit 2 nuclear generation facility, Progress Energy at their Crystal River Unit 3 nuclear generation facility and the City of Lakeland at their McIntosh Unit 3 coal-fired generation facility. In each of these agreements, fiscal, budgetary and operational controls are not maintained by OUC.
OUC also maintains an undivided participant interest with Southern Company at their Stanton Unit A combined cycle generation facility (SECA). In this agreement, for the initial 10 years of operation, OUC retains responsibility as fuel agent for the generation facility. Funds secured in this role as fuel agent are restricted on the Statements of Net Assets and disclosed in Note E.
OUC and non-OUC operated agreements and the related undivided interests have remained consistent for the years ending September 30, 2005 and 2004 and are as follows:

Note E - Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments OUC maintains a portion of its cash, cash equivalents and investments in interest-bearing qualified public depository accounts with institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or collateralized by a pool of U.S.
Governmental securities, per the Florida Security of Public Deposits Act, Chapter 280 of the Florida Statutes as well as other types authorized by the investment policy. At September 30, 2005 and 2004 the total amount of deposits and investments were $533.9 million and $555.9 million, respectively.
In2005 OUC adopted GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures enhancing the disclosures for cash, cash equivalents and investments to include additional information on the risks associated with these assets.
The following describes the key risks associated with these assets and the manner in which OUC mitigates these risks:
- Interest Rate Risk: The risk associated with interest rate changes is addressed in OUC's investment policy by requiring a minimum of 10% of the operating portfolio be held in highly marketable securities with maturities not exceeding 30 days. This requirement enables OUC to mitigate fair value changes within the portfolio and reduce its exposure to this risk. In addition, the investment policy limits maturities based on investment type and credit strength and invokes the "prudent person" rule requiring the portfolio manager to consider market conditions that might adversely affect the portfolio value to ensure overall interest risk is mitigated.
- Credit and Concentration Risk: OUC's investment policy was designed to mitigate both credit and concentration risk by providing specific guidance as to the weighting and integrity of the deposit and investment instruments other than those investments in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agency obligations. The following table summarizes OUC's investment policy including maximum portfolio weighting:

Note F - Regulatory Deferrals Regulatory assets: Based on regulatory action taken by the governing board, OUC has recorded the following regulatory assets that will be included in the ratemaking process and recovered in future periods:
In 2004, OUC approved a regulatory action to defer utility plant costs associated with the replacement of new water treatment plant assets. These deferred charges were fully amortized in 2005 and included under the heading of Depreciation and amortization in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.
The balance at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is $0 and $1.5 million, respectively.
Also included under this heading are deferred interest costs on the Series 1993 and 1993B bonds. These interest costs were incurred as a result of differing short-term and long-term rates at the time of bond issuance. The balance of deferred charges at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is $6.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively.
Deferred charges are currently amortized to interest expense over the remaining period of the original bond series.
Regulatory liabilities: Based on regulatory actions taken by the governing board, OUC has recorded the following regulatory liabilities that will be included in the ratemaking process and recognized as revenues in future periods:
- Deferred gain on sale of assets: On October 5, 1999, OUC sold its steam units at the Indian River Plant (IRP) and elected to defer the gain on sale ($144 million). In accordance with this action, a portion of the amount
($45 million) was designated to offset generating facility demand payments. In 2004, OUC's governing board approved the systematic recognition of the remaining gain amount ($99 million), net of any residual funds used to offset generating facility demand payments, to be recognized over a period consistent with the life of the Stanton A generation plant. As a result of this action, OUC has recognized gains of $4 million annually during the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. As a result of the recognition of these gains, the deferred gain on sale amount at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is $93 million and $97 million, respectively.
- Deferred gain on settlement: As a result of an eminent domain action in July 2005, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) took possession of OUC's Administration building parking garage. In exchange for taking possession of OUC's garage and the underlying land, the FDOT provided OUC with a cash settlement of $15 million. In addition to the cash settlement OUC secured an adjacent parcel of land in exchange for the parcel taken. In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries the assets associated with this transaction were determined to be impaired and as such were written-down to the lower of cost or fair market value for an impairment expense of $6.7 million. In addition to the impairment expense, OUC also accrued transition costs in the amount of $6 million for the relocation of its customer service facilities to ensure accessibility during the road construction period. The transition period isestimated to be approximately 3 years. The impairment and transition expenses ($12.7 million) were offset by the recognized gain on settlement for a net zero impact in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. The remaining proceed from the settlement, $2.3 million, were deferred and included on the Statements of Net Assets at September 30, 2005.
- Deferred wholesale trading profits: This account represents a portion of profits generated from resale sales.
- Electric and water rate stabilization: OUC's governing board established these accounts for costs (revenues) that are to be recovered by (used to reduce) rates in periods other than when incurred (realized).
- Fuel stabilization: This account was established in accordance with guidelines from the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 and represents the difference between the fuel costs charged to customers and the fuel costs incurred.
- Customer retention stabilization: This account was established to assist in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.
- Health insurance reserve: OUC's governing board established this account to mitigate unexpected increases in medical costs to employees.

In addition, OUC is exposed to risks of loss due to injuries and illness of its employees.
These risks are managed through OUC's self-insurance program and third-party insurance coverage. Under the self-insurance program, OUC is liable for all claims up to certain maximum amounts per occurrence. Claims in excess of $250,000 for workmen's compensation and healthcare coverage and $1,000,000 for general and automobile liability are covered by insurance at September 30, 2005 and 2004.
Liabilities associated with the workmen's compensation and healthcare programs are determined based on actuarial studies. These amounts also include amounts for claims that have been incurred but not reported. Liabilities associated with general and automobile coverage are determined based on historic information and in 2004 also include estimates for unasserted claims as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne. The liability associated with this program is included in the Statements of Net Assets under the heading of Accounts payable and accrued expenses. Self-insurance program liability at September 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

Under said rulings, Florida Statutes limit of liability for claims or judgments by one person for general liability or auto liability is $100,000 or a total of $200,000 for the same incident or occurrence; greater liability can result only through an act of the Florida Legislature.
Furthermore, any defense of sovereign immunity shall not be deemed to have been waived or the limits of liability increased as a result of obtaining or providing insurance in excess of statutory limitations.

Note G - Insurance Programs and Claims (continued)
Liability for accidents at the nuclear power plants for which OUC has a minority interest are governed by the Price Anderson Act which limits the public liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from private sources and an industry retrospective payment plan. Both majority owners (Florida Power & Light and Progress Energy Corporation) maintain the maximum amount of private liability insurance ($300 million per site) and participate in a secondary financial protection system. In addition, both majority owners participate in nuclear
-mutual companies that provide limited insurance coverage for property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning risks. Irrespective of the insurance coverage, should a catastrophic loss occur at either of the plants, the amounts of insurance available may not be adequate to cover property damage and other expenses incurred. The owners of a nuclear power plant could be assessed to pay a maximum payout of $503 million per unit per incident at any nuclear utility reactor in the United States, payable at a rate not to exceed $75 million per incident per year. Uninsured losses, to the extent not recovered through rates, would be borne by each of the owners at their proportionate ownership share and may have an adverse effect on their financial position. See Note D for OUC's ownership interest in St. Lucie Unit 2 and Crystal River Unit 3.
OUC's transmission and distribution system are not covered by property insurance, since such coverage is generally not available.

On November 12, 2003, the 51% consent threshold was met to enact the provisions of this resolution including ranking all debt obligations without preference, priority, or distinction. The following are some key provisions of the resolution:
. Rate covenant: The net revenue requirement for annual debt service has been set at 100% or available funds plus net revenues at 125% of annual debt service.
- Additional bonds test: This test is limited to OUC's certification that it meets the rate covenant.
- Flow of funds: There are no funding requirements; however, consistent with prior resolutions, OUC can determine whether to fund a debt service reserve account on an issue-by-issue basis or internally designate funds.
- System definition: OUC's system definition has been modified to utility system. This definition is a more expansive definition to accommodate organizational changes and the expansion into new services.
- Sale of assets: System assets may be sold if the sale will not interfere with OUC's ability to meet rate covenants. Consistent with prior lien resolutions, proceeds must first be used to pay debt service.

No debt was refunded for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.
In July 2002, OUC used proceeds from the Liability Reduction Fund (LRF) to defease $112.2 million of the Water and Electric Subordinated Revenue Bonds Series 1989D (Defeased Bonds). LRF proceeds were invested in United States obligations in an irrevocable escrow deposit trust fund and were to mature at such time and in such amounts as to provide sufficient funds for the payment of maturing principal and interest on the defeased bonds. The loss associated with the defeasance ($15.5 million) was deferred in accordance with regulatory action taken by OUC's governing board.
Since the defeasance date, several escrow transactions have occurred with the final transaction occurring in June 2004.
At the final transaction date, $1.6 million in excess of the remaining regulatory costs was earned and recognized as interest income in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. At September 30, 2005 and 2004 the escrow transactions had mitigated the deferred loss and as such the outstanding balance for both of these periods was $0.
All refunded and defeased bonds are treated as extinguished debt for financial reporting purposes and have been
,removed from the Statements of Net Assets. Defeased bonds outstanding decreased as a result of the maturity of the Series 1975B and 1978 in the amounts of $9.7 million and $94.6 million respectively. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2005 and 2004 for defeased bonds is $184.5 million and $322.2 million, respectively.
Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps, a derivative financial instrument, are used by OUC to manage interest rate exposure on both fixed and variable rate debt and are not executed for trading purposes. Under these swap agreements, only the net difference in interest calculated at fixed and variable rates is actually exchanged with the counterparty. The notional amounts are the basis on which interest is calculated; however, the notional amounts are not exchanged.
Although a termination of the swap agreement may result in OUC making or receiving a termination payment, OUC limits its execution of these agreements to major financial institutions with a minimum credit rating of "Aa3" or "AA-" by any two nationally recognized credit rating agencies or have a subsidiary rated "AAA' by least two nationally recognized credit rating agencies per the derivatives policy. Therefore, OUC does not anticipate nonperformance by a counterparty.
OUC's swap agreements outstanding at September 30, 2005 and 2004 with fair value amounts corresponding to the market value are summarized below:
September 30 (Dollars in thousands) 2005 2004 Notional amount* $ 545,000 $ 545,000 Term October 2008-2022 October 2008-2022 Rate OUC:

The contract expires on December 31, 2007.
Derivative fuel instruments: OUC's fuel-related derivative transactions, where applicable, are recorded on the Statements of Net Assets as either an asset or liability measured at fair market value. Related gains and/or losses on these transactions are deferred and recognized in the specific period in which the instrument was settled and are included as part of the fuel and purchased power costs in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. No amount is recorded for the fuel swaps other than the net monthly fuel settlement amount resulting from these agreements.
At September 30, 2005 and 2004, OUC did not have any fuel-related derivative instruments (swaps, futures, and options). Because of high futures rates, OUC settled its existing hedge instruments as of September 30, 2005 and delayed the purchase of new instruments. No significant costs were recorded in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets in 2005 and 2004 for fuel-related derivatives as a result of the volatility in the energy markets.
Power generation plant commitment: In 2005 OUC's governing board approved the execution of the joint development of the Clean Coal Technology project at the Stanton Energy Center. The estimated total project cost is
$792 million of which OUC has committed $305 million towards the project completion. The Department of Energy and Southern Company have committed $235 million and $252 million, respectively.
Note J - Major Agreements City of Orlando: OUC pays a revenue-based payment and an income-based dividend payment to the City of Orlando. The revenue-based payment is classified as an operating expense and is calculated at 6%of gross retail electric and water billings and 4%of chilled water billings to customers within the City limits. The income-based dividend payment is calculated based on 60% of net income before contributions and is recorded as a reduction of net assets on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Dividends for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 totaled $34 million and $31.6 million, respectively, including accrued dividends at September 30, 2005 and 2004 of $ 1.3 million and $0, respectively. In 2005 OUC's governing board approved a change for 2006 only, to increase the dividend calculation from 60% to 85% of income before contributions.
Orange County: OUC pays a revenue-based payment to Orange County calculated at 1%of gross retail electric billings to customers within the County but outside the city limits of the City of Orlando. This payment is recorded under the heading of Payments to other governments and taxes on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.
City of St. Cloud: In April 1997, OUC entered into an interlocal agreement with the City of St. Cloud (STC) to assume responsibility for providing retail electric energy services to all STC customers and to assume control and operation of STC's electric transmission and distribution system and certain generation facilities. In return, OUC isobligated to pay STC 9.5% of gross retail electric billings to STC customers (a minimum of $2.4 million annually, unless certain events occur) and to pay STC's electric system net debt service. The term of the agreement commenced May 1, 1997 and, as amended in April 2003, continues until September 30, 2032. OUC's billed revenue included under the heading of Resale electric revenue, net includes $44.3 million and $37.2 million from the interlocal agreement for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue based payments and net debt service payments for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are $5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Note J - Major Agreements (continued)
Trigen-Cinergy Solutions: On June 23, 1998, OUC entered into an agreement with Trigen-Cinergy Solutions (TCS) to construct and provide air conditioning cooling systems (chilled water) for buildings in the Orlando metropolitan area.
In March 2004 OUC's governing board authorized the dissolution of this agreement and as such, acquired TCS' 51%
operational interest in the chilled water operations for $24.4 million. The acquisition price included the repayment of TCS' capital contributions ($18.1 million), repayment of their proportionate share of net operating earnings
($1.3 million) and an initial lump sum payment for current contracted customers of $5 million. Additional payments are contingent on OUC securing additional contracts in certain chilled water operating loops. At September 30, 2005 no additional payments are due to TCS.
Note K - Pension Plans and Other Post-Employment Benefits Defined benefit plan Plan description: OUC maintains a single-employer, defined benefit pension plan for all employees who regularly work 20 or more hours per week and were hired prior to January 1, 1998. Under provisions of the pension plan, employees who participate receive a pension benefit equal to 2.5% of the highest three consecutive years average base earnings times years of employment. A maximum of 30 years service is credited. Benefits are vested after five years of service.
OUC is the administrator of the plan and as such has the authority to make changes thereto. Periodically, the plan issues stand-alone financial statements with the most recent report issued for the year ending September 30, 2003. In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards, the plan receives actuarial reports annually with the most recent actuarial report prepared for the period ending September 30, 2005.
Actuarial reports received each February disclose plan assets and actuarial liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year for required contribution levels in the subsequent fiscal year. As such the actuarial valuation report dated October 1, 2003 includes the required contribution levels for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. This methodology enables OUC to better match its rate-making requirements.
Funding policy: The pension plan agreement requires OUC to contribute, at a minimum, amounts actuarially determined. The current rate of contribution required by OUC is 12.52% of annual covered payroll. Required participant contribution obligations are 4%of earnings until the later of age 62 or completion of 30 years of service, with no required contributions thereafter. The benefit reduction for early retirement is 1% per year.
Annual pension cost and net pension asset: OUC recognizes annual pension costs in accordance with GASB Statement No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Government Employers. GASB Statement No. 27 also requires recognition of a net pension asset or obligation for the cumulative differences between the annual pension cost and employer contributions to the plan. Included in the calculation of the annual pension costs is the interest earned on the net pension asset and the amortization of the prepaid pension asset included under the heading of "Adjustment to ARC." Pension cost and the net pension asset have been calculated using information obtained from actuarial documentation and are as follows:
September 30 (Dollars inthousands) 2005 2004 Current year actuarial required contribution (ARC) $ 3,984 $ 4,173 Interest earnings on net pension asset (4,549) (4,797)

Note K - Pension Plans and Other Post-Employment Benefits (continued)
Actuarial amounts are calculated using the aggregate cost method, which as noted in the guidance, does not identify or separately amortize unfunded actuarial assets/obligations. The actuarial value of assets/obligations is determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year period.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 27 and approval by OUC's governing board, the calculation below uses the following rates based on actuarial information received in 2003 and 2002 for required contribution levels in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
October 1 2003 2002 Investment rate of return 8.50% 8.50%
Projected salary increases 5.75% 5.75%
Inflation component 4.00% 4.00%
Effective for October 1, 2004 valuation analysis, OUC's governing board approved a revision of the salary increase assumption from 5.75% to 5.50%.
Contributions applicable to the year ended September 2004 include net proceeds receivable of $55.3 million from the taxable pension bonds issued in November 2003. These bonds, Series 2003T, funded in advance the outstanding actuarial liability of $54.6 million at September 2003. This advance funding is recorded under the heading of Deferred debt costs on the Statement of Net Assets and is being amortized as a component of the annual pension cost. The annual amortization amount of the advance funding was $2.9 million and $2.5 million for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The following table summarizes three-year trend information for the pension plan including the annual pension cost and the net pension asset. In addition, the schedule includes the percentage of current year funds contributed and the percentage of funds contributed inclusive of the pension bond annual amortization.
Current year contributions Percentage of APC Years ended Annual pension (including amortization of contributed (including (Dollars inthousands) cost (APC) advance funding) advance funding) 2005 $ 7,025 $ 7,030 100%
2004 7,387 7,387 100%
2003 4,252 4,585 108%
Defined contribution plan All employees who regularly work 20 or more hours per week and were hired on or after January 1, 1998, are required to participate in a defined contribution retirement plan established under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and administered by OUC. In addition, employees hired prior to January 1, 1998, were offered the option to convert their defined benefit pension account to this plan. The plan was created by resolution of OUC.
Under the plan, each eligible employee, upon commencement of employment, is required to contribute 4%of their salary, with OUC making a matching contribution of 4%. In addition, OUC will match up to 2%for additional voluntary contributions. Employees are fully vested after one year of employment. Total contributions for the years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were $2.6 million ($1.2 million employer and
$1.4 million employee) and $2.3 million ($1.1 million employer and $1.2 million employee), respectively.
2005 AU D IT E D F I N A N C IA L STATE 1 E N TS A30
Note K - Pension Plans and Other Post-Employment Benefits (continued)
Other post-employment benefits OUC has a policy to provide health care benefits and life insurance coverage to all employees who retire under the defined benefit plan on or after attaining age 55 with at least 10 years of service or at any age after completing 25 years of service. Currently, 516 retirees meet the eligibility requirements. Retirees may also elect to provide health care insurance for their qualifying dependents by paying 50% of the calcurated premium. Medical benefits will be available, but not subsidized, for employees who retire under the defined contribution pension plan. OUC is a secondary provider for those retirees and/or their dependents who are eligible for Medicare benefits.
OUC provides these health care benefits in conjunction with its self-insurance health care program (see Note G).
This program is administered through an insurance company and also includes additional purchased insurance coverage for claims over $250 thousand per covered member per year. The insurance company administers the plan and processes the claims according to benefit specifications, with OUC reimbursing the insurance company for its payouts. Expenses are recorded by OUC when paid to the insurance company and all related liabilities for incurred medical costs are included under the heading of Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Statements of Net Assets. Total post-employment health care costs recognized by OUC for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, were $5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Post-employment life insurance costs during the same periods were $48 thousand and $45 thousand, respectively.
Note L- Regulation and Competition The electric utility industry has been and will be, in the future, affected by a number of factors that could have an impact on OUC's operations. Although a handful of states have enacted legislation or issued orders designed to deregulate the production and sale of electricity, no legislative action has been executed in the State of Florida.
In 2000, the Governor of Florida signed an executive order creating the Energy 2020 Study Commission whose purpose was to design an energy strategy and plan for the state. To facilitate an effective plan, the Commission elected to split the study between wholesale and retail competition. In respect to the wholesale market, the Commission recommended opening the "statutory barriers to entry" to allow the construction of merchant plants within the state borders. As for retail competition, it was the Commission's recommendation that changes to this market be deferred until such time as an effective competitive wholesale market has been developed. To date no legislative actions have been taken on these recommendations.
The FERC, in its Order No. 2000 issued December 15, 1999, stated that it expects all utilities which own transmission facilities to join regional transmission organizations (RTO) that meet commission standards. While the formation of the RTO is voluntary under Order No. 2000, the FERC clearly expressed its intention to use its Federal Power Act authorities to 'remedy undue discrimination or the exercise of market power, including the remedy of requiring RTO participation where supported by the record." After over five years of meetings, workshops, studies, and filings at FERC and the FPSC, RTO formation in Florida is almost at a standstill. The FPSC has asked the Applicants (Florida Power & Light, Progress Energy Florida, and Tampa Electric Company) to file an 'RTO-lite" proposal, which would include some of the features of a FERC-approved RTO, but at a much lower cost to the customers in Florida. This filing was due in September 2005.
Note M - Subsequent Events In November 2005, OUC refunded the Series 1996B Water and Electric Revenue Bonds in the amount of
$40 million. Present value savings of $2 million or 5%of the refunded bonds resulted from this transaction. An economic loss of $928 thousand will be included in the unamortized discount and deferred amount on refunding on the September 30, 2006 Statements of Net Assets.
In November 2005, OUC secured a forward starting fixed-payer swap with a notional amount of $100 million and a fixed payer rate of 4.442%. The swap was competitively bid and will become effective April 6, 2009 and terminate October 1, 2027. The swap was executed in anticipation of the Series 2004 Utility System Revenue Bonds refunding in July 2009.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Orlando Utilities Commission as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Orlando Utilities Commission's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Orlando Utilities Commission's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Orlando Utilities Commission as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Managcmcnt's discussion and analysis listed in the Table of Contents is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. This supplemental information is the responsibility of Orlando Utilities Commission's management. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
2005 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A32
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 28, 2005 on our consideration of Orlando Utilities Commission's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. 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 the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with GovernmentAuditing Standardsand should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

'I 219 N. Market Street Bushnell, Florida 33513 P.O. Box 115 - (352) 793-2591 i~ Fax (352) 793-2711 March 7, 2006 TO THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF BUSHNELL:
The comprehensive annual financial report of the City of Bushnell for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, is hereby submitted. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and are reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the City. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City of Bushnell has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Bushnell's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of Bushnell's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the government's financial activities have been included. Additional, the Managements Discussion and Analysis section that follows will provide highlights and review the financial performance during the reporting period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Bushnell, we offer readers of Bushnell's financial statement this narrative overview and analysis of September 30, 2005. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages iii-vii of this report. AU amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in thousands of dollars.
Financial HiLyhlights The assets of the City of Bushnell exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$10,671,000. Of this amount, $1,469,564 may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Bushnell's governmental funds reported combined Leending fund balances of $1,013,805, an increase of $200,669 in comparison with the prior year.
Approximately 51% of this total amount $510,647 is available for spending at the government's discretion.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the general fund was
$510,647, or approximately 18.5% of total general fund expenditures.
L Overview of the Financial Statements This management discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City ofBushnell L basic financial statements. The City of Bushnell's basic financial statement comprises three components:
- 1) governmental-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statement themselves.
- 1) Government-wide financial statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Bushnell's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of new assets presents information on all of the City of Bushnell's assets and liabilities, L with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Bushnell is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information in how the government's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
-, reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal period (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 10-12.

2.) Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Bushnell, like other state and local LJ governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Bushnell can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmentalfunds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the L government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term L financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar bU information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
L The City of Bushnell maintains two individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately Laandin the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, changes in fund balances for the general fund and special revenue funds.
The City of Bushnell adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue fund. The budgetary comparison statements have been provided for the general fund and special revenue funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 13-16.
i Proprietaryfunds.Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City of Bushnell uses enterprise funds to account for its electric distribution operation, water services, wastewater services, and sanitation services.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the electric, water, wastewater and sanitation services, of which all are considered to be major funds of the City of Bushnell.
G The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 17-21.
L Fiduciaryfunds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Bushnell's programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found of pages 22-23 of this report.

3.) Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 29-50 of this report.
4.) Other Information In additional to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City of Bushnell's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found on page 51 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position.
In the case of the City of Bushnell, assets exceeded liabilities by $10,671,000 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of the City of Bushnell's net assets, 81% reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, utility plant in service, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City of Bushnell uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens consequently; these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Bushnell's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

An additional portion of the City of Bushnell's net assets, 5% represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets
$1,469,564 may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Bushnell is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
The government's net assets increased by $907,467 during the current fiscal year.
The increase in net assets could be partially attributed to the increase in the wastewater customer base, which reflected in an increase of revenues. Another contributing factor would be the decrease in governmental activities expenditures as compared to the prior year. With both of these variables the end result was an increase in net assets.
Governmental Activities. Both the general fund and the special revenue - cemetery fund are considered major governmental funds. Governmental activities increased the City of Bushnell's net assets by
$560,893 thereby accounting for 5% of the total in the net assets of the City of Bushnell.
- Property taxes increased by $114,834, which is 51% during the year in the general fund. Most of this increase is attributed to the growth and development with the municipal limits as well as the approved increase in the millage rate.
- The special revenue - cemetery fund has reserve fund balance $503,158.
For the most part, increases in expenses closely paralleled inflation and growth in the demand for services.
Business-type Activities. The city considered all four of the business-type activities - electric, water, wastewater and sanitation major funds. Business-type activities decreased the City of Bushnell's net assets by $321,267 of the total in the government's net assets. A key element of this decrease was the Wastewater utility. With this being a newer utility, projected revenues were not met for the fiscal year.
The City expects this utility to grow in the upcoming year due to a growth in the commercial areas and enhancements to the facility to accommodate more connections. Other factors for the net assets are as follows:
- Charges for services for business-type activities increased by 18%. This can be attributed to the increase in sales due to the municipal limit increase and commercial growth.
- Revenues also increased as a result of a modest increase in sales. The increase in sales and rates account for the $685,026 increase in charge for services for Electric, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation services.
- With the continued growth within the Wastewater customer base the anticipated increase in charges for services should be reflective within the next fiscal year.
- Growth within the City's municipal limits also contributed to additional customers within the' service area for the City of Bushnell. These annexations generated an increase in the customer base, therefore increasing charges for services revenue.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds As noted earlier, the City of Bushnell uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmenudfunds. The focus of the City of Bushnell's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Bushnell's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Bushnell's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $1,013,805 an increase of $65,454. in comparison with the prior year.
Approximately 51% of this total amount constitutes unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed to pay and perpetual care for the cemetery.
l I The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Bushnell. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund and the total fund balance reached $510,643. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare the total fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Total fund balance represents 19 % of total general fund expenditures.
The fund balance of the City of Bushnell's general fund increased by $47,989 during the current fiscal year. Key factors in this growth are as follows:
- The City Council took a proactive choice to increase ad valorem taxes in an effort to diminish the ongoing decline in fund balance. The current millage levy is 4.50.
L The departments such as administration, police, street, parks and recreation have reduced expenditures in an attempt to assist with the increase in fund balance for the general fund.
LD} Proprietaryfunds. The City of Bushnell's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net assets of the Electric, Water, Wastewater and Sanitation fund at the end of the year amount to $1,041,797. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City of Bushnell's business-type activities.
Govenmental Funds Budeetarv Information Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget were relatively minor and can be briefly summarized as follows:
- Increase in Grant revenue, due to additional funding being received.
- Increase in several departments for additional expense related to Grant Funding.
- Slight increase in Operating Expenses of most departments due to a rise in the cost of diesel and gasoline.
During the year, revenues exceeded budgetary estimates greater than expenditures exceeded budgetary estimates, thus eliminating the need to draw upon existing fund balance and actually increasing General Fund Balance. The budgetary variances can also be explained by the bulleted comments above.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capitalassets. The City of Bushnell's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type activities as of September 30, 2005, amounts to $12,350,921 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and system, improvements, machinery and equipment.
8
Capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
- Small amounts of utility plant additions made to each of the utilities within the year.
- Minor improvements, building and equipment purchases made within the governmental fund.
Additional information on capital assets can be located on page 40, within the notes to the financial statement.
Long-term debt. The City of Bushnell's total debt increased by $210,608. During the current fiscal year.
The key factor in this increase was the capital lease of two police cruisers and the note payable for the purchase of land. Additional information on long term debt can be located within the notes of the financial statements.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates Economic Factors. Bushnell is the County Seat of Sumter County, reported Economic and Business research as " The fastest growing County in the State of Florida in annual population change from 1998 to 2002". Situated just 50 miles north of Tampa and 50 miles west of Orlando, Bushnell is strategically located between Interstate 75 and the Florida Turnpike. Our location provides easy transportation access to both of these metropolitan areas.
Easily accessible from many areas and being the County Seat in rural Sumter County makes Bushnell's market area much larger than it's corporate limits. Independent market studies suggest that the population i within the market area affected by the City of Bushnell could exceed 70,000 people. In addition to this L4 6 significant number, traffic studies conducted by the Sumter County Road & Bridge Department indicate average daily traffic counts of 50,000 cars on West Belt Avenue. These statistics are mentioned only to illustrate the much larger market and social forces affecting this small community on a daily basis. Within the utility service area, which comprises mostly the incorporated City limits and some small areas in the unincorporated Sumter County, the City of Bushnell services a total of 1136-metered customers, 330 of L which are commercial customers. Bushnell exhibits steady growth in its commercial sector. Continued community growth and development is expected along Main St. north, and SR 48 west corridor to the I -
75 interchange. The SR 48 and I - 75 interchange still has a number of commercial undeveloped parcels of varying size; currently, the City serves potable water, wastewater and sanitation services to this area.
Based on current trends and projections, it's anticipated that the interchange area will have the most impact on the commercial sector of the City of Bushnell. As such, it will present the City with significant challenges in order to preserve adopted level of service of its infrastructure while allowing quality develops in the area.

Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds. The cost of the assets is $5,149,824 and the accumulated depreciation is $1,718,916. 3,430,908 Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities.
Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in governmental funds, but rather is recognized as an expenditure when due.
All liabilities, both current and long-term, are reported in the statement of net assets. Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Notes Payable and Certificates of Obligation (714,087)
Capital Lease Obligations (72,350)
Compensated Absences (85,880)
Total Net Assets of Governmental Activities $ 3,572,396 See accompanying notes.

CiTY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA 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 30,2005 Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ 65,454 Amounts Reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are Different Because:
Governmental funds report capital purchases as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This reconciling item is the amount by which depreciation expense of $175,797 was less than capital purchases of $758,371. 582,574 The issuance of bonds and similar long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds and thus contribute to the change in fund balance. In the statement of net assets, however, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities. Similarly, repayment of principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but reduces the liability in the statement of net assets. Also governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premium, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. The amounts of the items that make up these differences in treatment of long-term debt and related items are:
Debt Issued or Incurred:
Capital Lease and Note Payable (210,608)
Principal Repayments:
Notes Payable and Certificates of Obligation 113,000 Capital Leases 12,692 Some expenses reported in the statement of activities such as compensated absences do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds:
Net Increase in Compensated Absences (2,219)
Change in Net Assets of Governmental Activities $ 560,893 See accompanying notes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA Note 1- Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies L The financial statements of the City of Bushnell, Florida (the City) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Significant City accounting policies are described below.
Reporting Entity The City is a political subdivision of the State of Florida located in Sumter County. The City was established under the legal authority of the Laws of Florida, Chapter 57-105. The City operates under a council-manager form of government. The legislative branch of the City is composed of a four-member elected City Council, and an elected mayor. The Mayor and City Council are governed by the City Charter by state and local laws and regulations. The Mayor U
and City Council are responsible for the establishment and adoption of policy. The execution of such policy is the responsibility of the City Manager. The City provides services to its residents in many areas, including public safety (police), highways and streets, utilities, sanitation, culture L
and recreation, public improvements, and general administrative services.
In evaluating the City as a reporting entity, management has addressed all potential component units (traditionally separate reporting entities) for which the City may or may not be financially accountable and, as such, be included within the City's financial statements. The City (the primary government) is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and (1) it is able to impose its will on the organization, or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefit to or impose specific financial burden on the City. Additionally, the primary government is required to consider other U
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Management has determined that there is no component units that U the City is required to report on.
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements L The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government.
For the most part, the effect of interfind activity has been removed from these statements. L Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for services. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct U
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment Indirect expenses are allocated automatically and certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual function and activities. Program revenues include:
- 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment; and 2) grants and U
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues..
U 29 U
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA (Contnued)
Note 1 - Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements (Conduded)
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. The fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide activities.
Fund Financial Statements Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period. Debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise fees, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The City operates the following major governmental fund:
n Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for all or most of a government's general activities.

They are excluded from the government-wide financial statements because they are fiduciary in nature and do not represent resources available to the government for operations. L Summary of Significant Accounting Policies L The City conforms to all significant accounting policies to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental units. The following is a summary of the more significant principles and practices used in the preparation ofthese financial statements. L Proprietary Funds Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the govermnent-wide and proprietary fund financial statements L
to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of GASB. Based on the accounting and reporting standards set forth in GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities That Use L

Note 1- Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Conduded)
Proprietary Funds (Conduded)
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to generally use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources, as they are needed for their intended purposes, however, this decision is frequently made on a case-by-case basis based upon facts and circumstances. Revenues of the enterprise funds are recognized on the basis of services rendered. Billing cycles of the enterprise funds that overlap September 30, are prorated based upon meter reading dates.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The City's procedures in preparing and adopting the annual budget, which is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, are as follows:
a The City Manager is responsible for preparing a proposed operating budget for all governmental funds and proprietary funds for the upcoming year prior to September 30 that includes estimated revenues, proposed expenditures, and other financing sources and uses.
- Public hearings are held to obtain taxpayer comments and suggestions. The budget is enacted through passage of a resolution.
- The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within any fund, but may not revise total fund expenditures without the approval of the City Council. The budget data presented is in agreement with the originally adopted budget as amended by the City Council.
a Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for substantially all funds. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, except that the provision for depreciation expense is not included in the budget of the proprietary funds. Total budgetary appropriations within a governmental fund type may not be exceeded legally. Appropriations lapse at the end of the year. Budget data, when presented in the basic financial statements is prepared on the same basis of accounting as that prescribed for the fund. An annual operating budget was prepared for all funds.

L NOTES TO INANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA (Condnued)
Note 1- Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) L Budgets and Budgetary Accounting (Concluded)
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental funds.
U During the year, the City made supplemental budget appropriations which increased or decreased the budgets as necessary.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand, demand deposits with banks, deposits in cash management pools U
and certificates of deposits, as well as short-term investments with a maturity date within three months of the date acquired. The City's pooled cash account is considered to be cash equivalent since each fund can effectively deposit or withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or L
penalty.
The City utilizes pooled cash and investment accounts in which each fund participates on a dollar equivalent basis (except the pension trust funds). Interest is distributed monthly based on average balances. The nature of the pooled accounts permits temporary negative cash balances i upon overdrawing of cash available in individual funds, which is presented as interfund receivables and payables. The deposits and investments of the pension trust funds are held separately from those of other City funds.
Transfers Transfers are recognized in the accounting period in which the interfund receivable and payable arise. Transfers are made from the utility funds to finance operations of the general fund.
Capital Grants Accounts receivable from other governments include amounts due from grantors. Program and capital grants for capital assets are recorded as receivables and revenues at the time reimbursable costs are incurred. Revenues received in advance of costs being incurred are deferred. Capital grants for capital asset additions to the proprietary funds are recorded as U nonoperating revenues.
' !
Investments U Investments including pension funds and funds invested in the CR m decommissioning fund are stated at fair value-uoted market price or the best available estimate thereof U Receivables Utility operating revenues are generally recognized on the basis of cycle billings rendered monthly. The amount of services delivered after the last billing date and up to September 30 is L estimated and accrued at year end.
Inventories and Prepaid Items Inventories held by the utility funds are priced by the weighted-average costs method at the lower of cost or market. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items. L 33L
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA (Continued)
Note 1 - Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accountingg Policies (Continued)
Cost Reimbursements Certain personal services and operating expenses/expenditures recorded in various funds and departments are a results of services performed and expenses/expenditures incurred for the benefit of other funds and departments. In order to better reflect various funds and departments' actual costs, a cost reimbursement is recorded as a reduction in expenditures or expenses. The funds and departments that benefit from the services and expenses/expenditures record a cost reimbursement as an increase in expenditures or expenses.
Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land, utility plant-in-service buildings and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Utility plant-in-service and equipment with initial, individual costs that equal or exceed $300 and estimated useful lives of over one year are recorded as capital assets.
Capital assets are recorded at historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Capital asset purchases are recorded as capital outlay expenditures in the fund level governmental funds in the year of acquisition.
Capital Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 32-50 Years Improvements Other Than Buildings 10-50 Years Machinery, Equipment and Furniture 3-15 Years Investment in Crystal River No. 3 Nuclear Plant 28 Years Bond Discounts and Issuance Costs Bond discounts and insurance costs for proprietary fund types are deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds using the straight-line amortization method which produces a result not significantly different from the interest method. Bond discounts are presented as a reduction of the face amount of bonds payable, whereas issuance costs are recorded as deferred charges.
Compensated Absences In the governmental fund financial statements there are no amounts of compensated absences associated with employee vacations and sick leave recorded. In the government-wide financial statements, all governmental fund compensated absences are recorded and split between the current and noncurrent portions.
In proprietary funds, the amount of compensated absences associated with employee vacations that are recorded as expenses represent the amounts paid during the year and accrued at year end. The entire liability for compensated absences of these funds is reflected in the respective financial statements split between the current and noncurrent portions and also recorded in the entity-wide statements.

Property Taxes (Condcuded)
Taxes are assessed on November 1 of each year or as soon thereafter as the assessment roll is certified and delivered to the County Tax Collector. Unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed. Discounts are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in the month of November, 3% in the month of December, 2% in the month of January, and 1%in the month of February. The taxes paid in March are without discount.
On or prior to June 1 following the tax year, certificates are sold for all delinquent taxes on real property. After sale, tax certificates bear interest at 18% per year or any lower rate bid by the buyer. Application for a tax deed on any unredeemed tax certificates may be made by the certificate holder after a period of two years. Unsold certificates are held by the County.
Delinquent taxes on personal property bear interest of 18% per year until the tax is satisfied either by seizure and sale of the property or by the five-year statute of limitations.
The City does not accrue its portion of the County held tax sales certificates or personal property tax wan-ants because such amounts are not measurable and available as of the balance sheet date.
Note 2 - Denosits and Investments Cash and Cash Equivalents At September 30, 2005, the carrying amount of the City's cash deposit accounts was $1,464,183 in the governmental and business-type funds and $89,615 in the pension funds. All cash deposits were held in qualified public depositories and were covered by federal depository insurance or by the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act (the Act); Chapter 280 of the Florida Statutes. The Act established a multiple-financial institution collateral pool with the ability to assess member institutions to satisfy the claims of governmental entities if any member financial institution f&ils. This ability to assess provides protection which is similar to depository insurance.
Cash Equivalents consist of amounts placed with the State Board of Administration for participation in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund investment pool created by Section 218.405, Florida Statutes. This investment pool operates under investment guidelines established by Section 215.47, Florida Statutes. The City's investment in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund, a Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 2a7-like external investment pool, in the amount of $536,599. This external investment pool is unrated and as of September 30, 2005, had an average of 49 days to maturity.
Investments Florida Statutes authorize the investments of funds in certificates of deposits or savings accounts of financial institutions approved by the State Treasurer, obligations of the United States Government, instruments guaranteed by the United States Government, and money market funds registered with the Securities Exchange Commission. Investments may also include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury Securities and Market-to-Market, 36

The City is a member of the FMPA, which is a joint action agency formed by a number of Florida municipalities for the purpose of providing electric power alternatives for its members.
FMPA is a nonprofit, joint action agency formed pursuant to Florida Statutes. FMPA has the authority to undertake joint power supply projects and to issue tax-exempt bonds or other obligations to finance or refinance the costs of such projects.
Due to the diverse needs of Florida's municipal electric systems, FMPA was established as a project-oriented agency. Under this structure, each member has the option whether or not to participate in a project. Members may choose to participate in more than one project; however, each of the FMPA's five projects is independent from the other and no revenues or funds available from one project can be used to pay the costs of any other project.
The City has elected to participate in the "All Requirements Project," which supplies all of the City's power requirements. The agreement will remain in effect until October 1, 2035, with optional successive five-year renewal periods. The contract provides for optional withdrawal by the City, but would require the City to make all remaining project members whole. The cost to the City withdrawing from the contract has not been calculated. '
Power rates charged to the City by FMPA are subject to a majority vote of the Board of Directors of FMPA. In addition, the City has elected participation in the "Pooled Loan Project" in which FMPA issues debt, then loans the money to individual systems to finance utility-related projects.

Company 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 GOVERVMENTA UDIT7ING STANDARDS Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Bushnell Bushnell, Florida We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bushnell, Florida (the City) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2005, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 7, 2006. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City'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 that are required to be reported under GovernmentAuditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management, and federal and state awarding agencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

MANAGEMENT LETTER After 104 years of lighting, cooling and powering the homes and businesses of Osceola County, the diesel generators at Kissimmee Utility Authority's Roy E. Hansel Generating Station fell silent on September 30.
The decommissioning marked the end of an era for KUA, as the plant's diesel units helped to form the city of Kissimmee and mold a way of life for its citizens.
As we celebrated the decommissioning of the plant, we took a few pictures to document its historical value. The photos seem to speak for themselves when it comes to describing the character of the plant, so we compiled some of them for your enjoyment in this annual report.
In addition, this report will shine a light on KUA's many accomplishments of 2005. Here's a small sample of what yodll read about:
As part of its ongoing commitment to introduce products and services that enable customers to interact, transact and protect their families, KUA launched residential and commercial security monitoring services this year.
KUA also unveiled a new interactive voice response (IVR) system which allows customers to pay their utility bill over the telephone.
In preparation for this year's hurricane season, KUA introduced a power restoration alert system called KUA ALERTS that delivers periodic text messages with updates on power restoration after a hurricane or severe storm passes through.
In a bid to boost downtown revitalization efforts, KUA launched a free Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) mesh network or 'hot zone" in downtown Kissimmee.
Just 14 months after launching telephone service, KUA reached a major milestone this year with the signing of its 4,000th telephone subscriber.
Heat and high humidity in Central Florida led to seven record-setting days for electricity demand by KUA customers this year.
A survey conducted by the Orlando Business Journal named KUA one of Central Florida's best places to work, and for the eighth consecutive year, the Orlando Sentinel named KUA a "Mop 100 Company for Working Families."
As you can see, there were many bright spots in the year. Read on. We're sure you'll be impressed.
Sincerely (9.2 emC. M 7 e James C. Welsh Nancy E Gemskie President and General Manager Chairman of the Board
At just after 1:00 noon on September 30, 2005, the diesel generators at Kissimmee Utility Authority's Roy E. Hansel Generating Station were powered down - forever. The decommissioning honors went to KUA President and General Manager Jim Welsh, KUA Chairman Nancy Gemskie and two daughters of Roy Hansel, in whom the plant is named.
The KUA board of directors authorized the decommissioning of eight diesel units at the utility's downtown Kissimmee power plant because they were no longer economical to operate. The decommissioned units ranged in age from 22 to 45 years old and had a total generating capacity of 18 megawatts (MW)
The oldest unit, Unit No. 8, began operation in 1960. Five additional units (Units No. 14, i5, 16 17 and is) began operation in 1972. Units No. 19 and 20 were refurbished in 1983. AU of the units were fueled by natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil. A separate 50 MW combined cycle plant (made up of Units 21, 22 and 23) and related facilities will continue to operate at the Hansel site until its anticipated retirement date around 2013.
The decommissioned generators and their predecessors produced electricity continuously since 1901 and were housed inside a historic brick building on the northwest shore of take lbhopekaliga in downtown Kissimmee. The historic building and adjacent property will be returned to the city of Kissimmee for development The retirement of these units will have no effect on the reliability of service for KUA customers, and because of attrition, no utility employees will be immediately impacted by the retirement of the units.
MThis plant has built an extraordinary record of achievement because it possessed one exceptional asset generations of operators who were willing to do what it took to keep the lights on in Kissimmee,' said Welsh. 'And for that, they deserve out profound thanks.-
Decommissioning and site clean-up began in October, and will take approximately six to eight months to completex Prior to its shutdown, KUA opened the doors to the historic powerplant one last time for Individuals wishing to take a final tour of the- facility that served generations of Kissimmee residents. Free public tours were offered each Tlesday in September.
In addition, KUA unveiled a poster to commemorate the decommissioning of the plant The 24 x 36' black and white poster featiues a photh collage of the Hansel plant facade at dusk.
The pages that follow contain teing images of the 104-year-old power plant and the parts, pieces and machinery that mnade it what it was. Although none of the images show people they most certainly capture the spirit of the plant and what it must have been like to work there. Enjoy.
