Indian River County, Florida Notes To Financial Statements Year Ended September 30, 2016 NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position or Fund Balances - Continued 8. Capitalization of Interest Interest costs related to bond issues are capitalized during the construction period. These costs are netted against applicable interest earnings on construction fund investments. During the current period, the County did not have any capitalized interest. 9. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The County reports the deferred charge on refundings in the amount of $1,693,977 in this category on the government -wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refundings results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position may report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The County has one item, unavailable revenue, which arises under the modified accrual basis of accounting and is reported on the governmental funds balance sheet in the total amount of $3,658,464. The sources of the unavailable revenue are a special assessments on road paving, ambulance service billings, and state and federal grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. In addition to the above two deferred items, there are deferred outflows and inflows items related to pensions as calculated in accordance with GASB Statement 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. These deferred outflows and inflows will be recognized as adjustments to pension expense in future reporting years. Detail on the composition of the deferred inflows and outflows related to pensions are further discussed in Note 13. 57
