Fort Myers,Florida March 30,2022 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2021 The management of the Immokalee Water& Sewer District offers readers of our financial statements the following narrative overview and analysis of our financial activities for the year ended September 30, 2021. Basic Financial Statements Our basic financial statements are prepared using proprietary fund (enterprise fund) accounting that uses the same basis of accounting as private-sector business enterprises. The District is operated under one enterprise fund. Under this method of accounting, an economic resources measurement focus and an accrual basis of accounting is used. Revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The basic financial statements include a statement of net position, a statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position, a statement of cash flows, and a reconciliation of operating profit (loss) to net cash provided by operating activities. These financial statements are followed by notes to the financial statements. In addition to the basic financial statements, this report also contains required supplementary information pertaining to budgetary reconciliations. The statement of net position presents information on the District's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position reports the operating revenues and expenses and nonoperating revenues and expenses of the District for the fiscal year. The difference, the net income or loss, is combined with any capital grants to determine the increase or decrease in net position for the fiscal year. The increase or decrease, combined with the net position at the end of the previous year, total to the net position at the end of the current fiscal year. The statement of cash flows reports cash and cash equivalent activities for the fiscal year resulting from operating activities, capital and related financing activities, noncapital and related financing activities and investing activities. The net result of these activities added to the beginning of the year cash balance, total to the cash and cash equivalent balance at the end of the current fiscal year.

Financial Highlights • The District completed a rate study and adopted the related rate increase of 3% per year for FY 2020-2022. Rate increases are effective on October 1, 2019, October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2021. • The District ended the year September 30, 2020, with a net position of $42,074,709 of which$25,758,542 represented the net investment in capital assets and $12,994,264 was unrestricted. The ending net position was $1,918,143 more than the net position at the beginning of the year. This was primarily the result of the implementation of the previous rate increases. • The District ended the year September 30, 2021, with a net position of $42,309,956 of which$26,938,398 represented the net investment in capital assets and $12,123,841 was unrestricted. The ending net position was $235,247 more than the net position at the beginning of the year. This was primarily the result of the implementation of the rate increases. • The District had profit before capital contributions, for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2021 of$757,916 and$108,363, respectively. • The District has minimized interest expense, because of utilizing low interest bonds/loans for capital projects funded through USDA Rural Development. These interest rates range from 2.25% to 5.125%. District projects are financed through a combination of bonds, loans and grants with the highest grant ratio to date being at 57% of the total project. The Series 2018 Bond had the lowest interest rate ever received by the District at 2.25%. • The District ended the year September 30, 2020 with cash and cash equivalents and investments of approximately $16,971,903. However, only $12,274,927 of this amount is available for operations, with the remainder of these assets being restricted for specific purposes and unavailable for the District's general use. • The District ended the year September 30, 2021 with cash and cash equivalents and investments of approximately $16,918,945. However, only $12,266,422 of this amount is available for operations, with the remainder of these assets being restricted for specific purposes and unavailable for the District's general use. • The statement of cash flows identifies the sources and uses of cash activity for the fiscal year. For fiscal year 2020, cash and cash equivalents increased by $997,575 compared to the year ended September 30, 2019. This change resulted primarily from the receipt of grant funds to fund the cost of a capital project. The servicing of the District's debt (principal and interest) resulted in the spending of cash of nearly$1,985,956. • The statement of cash flows identifies the sources and uses of cash activity for the fiscal year. For fiscal year 2021, cash and cash equivalents increased by $469,004 MDA III IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2021 compared to an increase of$997,575 for the year ended September 30, 2020. This change resulted primarily from the receipt of grant funds to fund the cost of a capital project. The servicing of the District's debt (principal and interest) resulted in the spending of nearly $1,971,032. Revenue As in previous years, the wastewater service revenues make up half or more of the operating revenues, accounting for 51% in 2020 and 50% in 2021. Water revenue accounted for 36% in 2020 and 35% in 2021. Meter service charges, late fee charges, reconnection fees, and miscellaneous revenues also remained constant between the two years. Cross connection control fees remained at 3 % in 2020 and 2021. The District was successful in receiving an increase in the District boundaries by the Florida Legislature, during the Spring 2005 session. This change in the boundaries is expected to result in increased opportunities for new users, in future years. We will be working on a revised capital improvement plan, in conjunction with the Immokalee Master Plan,to identify the needs within the next fiscal year. Expenses Due to the significant investments the District has in capital assets, depreciation continues to be one the largest operating expenses at 23-24%of total operating expenses per year. Unlike the other expenses listed, depreciation is not a cash expense. The first largest department, by expenses, is the administration department, which consists of nine full time employees and one part-time employee. The related operating expenses remained constant at 22% and 23% of total expenses in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The largest expense, in this department, other than salaries and benefits are engineering and legal fees. The second highest department, by expenses, is the water treatment and distribution department with twelve full time employees. The related operating expenses of 20% and 21% were 2020 and 2021, respectively. We are replacing meters that are under registering, with new Neptune auto-read meters. In addition, all new residential services are required to use the Neptune auto-read meters. This will reduce the need for additional meter readers in the water department and will improve the efficiency and accuracy of the meter reading process. 100% of the meters are now automated The third largest department, by expenses, at 20% and 19% of total operating expenses is for wastewater treatment, which remained constant between 2020 and 2021, respectively. This department is one of the largest, with eight full time employees and one part-time employee. One of the largest expenses, excluding salaries and benefits, in this department MDA IV IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2021 is electric, which accounted for over $167,000 and $200,000 in expenses in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The next largest department by expenses is the wastewater collection department, which consists of five full time employees. The related operating expenses were at 8% and 9% in 2020 compared to 2021, respectively. The smallest department is the maintenance department, which was created in fiscal year 2004 to reduce maintenance-related expenses from third-party vendors. It consists of six full time employees. It accounts for 5% and 3% of total operating expenses in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Labor costs in this department, except for those relating to the supervisor, are charged to the appropriate departments,based on the maintenance projects they are working on. Wages and benefits account for 42% and 37% of the total operating expenses in 2020 and 2021, making it the largest expense category. Depreciation expense accounts for 23% and 24%, for 2020 and 2021, respectively. The District continues to monitor costs. The District considers cost of living increases during the budget cycle and provides merit increases based upon performance evaluations. The District follows best practices for water and wastewater systems in promoting employees who meet specified criteria for certification and licensing. The District bids out contracts for major expenses, such as health insurance, property insurance, residuals management and chemicals. The District has an arrangement with Collier County Fleet Management allowing the District to access their fuel tanks, located in Immokalee,to take advantage of bulk-usage savings. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Over the course of the 2021 fiscal year, the Board of Commissioners amended the District budget. These budget amendments were done primarily to a) increase operating revenue, and to b) increase operating expenses and capital funding primarily related to the District's projects, and adjust designated funds. Original to Final Budget Variance For the fiscal year 2021 total operating revenues were increased by approximately $158,000 more than originally budgeted, and total operating expenses, excluding depreciation expense, were decreased by nearly $200,000. Capital outlay—capital outlay was increased by nearly$800,000. MDA V IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2021 Final Budget to Actual Variance For the fiscal year 2020 total operating revenue was approximately $152,000 more than budgeted. Capital Assets The District's net capital assets as of September 30, 2020 and 2021 amounted to $57,509,486 and $57,893,301 (net of accumulated depreciation), respectively. This investment in capital assets includes land, construction in progress, buildings and improvements,water and wastewater plants and systems, and machinery and equipment. Net capital asset additions included the following for the years ended September 30: 2020 2021 Construction in progress $ 1,390,104 $ 2,449,349 Buildings and improvements - - Water and wastewater plants and systems 589,848 330,922 Machinery and equipment 22,915 75,014 $ 2,002,867 $ 2,855,285 Construction in progress for 2020 was primarily for the clarifier project, Lift Station H and Master Lift Station X8 and line relocation projects. Construction in progress for 2021 was primarily for the clarifier project. The District primarily acquires its assets with the proceeds from federal capital grants and revenue bonds, supplemented by user fees. USDA Rural Development is the primary source of proceeds, because they offer low interest loans for capital improvements. We also received contributed capital in the form of new water and sewer infrastructure from developers. New equipment purchases and a system expansion are part of the District's capital improvement program. Capital purchases are acquired using bids, or Florida State Contract prices. MDA VI IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2021 Debt As of September 30, 2020, the District had $31,080,969 of revenue bonds outstanding.

The total amount outstanding for these categories of debt decreased, to reflect the principal payments by the District of$769,000. Unrestricted Net Assets As of September 30, 2020, the District had designated $10,155,999 in unrestricted net assets, as recommended by the auditor. The District designated $841,000 for emergencies, $4,138,975 for operations, $464,495 for vehicle replacement, $337,557 for capital equipment, and$4,373,972 for maintenance reserve.

Upcoming Significant Changes or Impacts Rate Increase: In fiscal year 2015, the District hired a rate consultant, PRMG, to determine what rate increase was needed. The Board adopted rate increases of 3% on water and for wastewater to go into effect on October 1, 2019, October 1,2020 and October 1, 2021. Residential - There are several residential developments that are expected to impact the revenues of the District during the next fiscal year. Arrowhead PUD, which will consist of over 1,200 residential units at completion, has completed the first phase of their water and wastewater infrastructure. The Crestview Apartments Phase I & II (304 units) were completed and connected. The first and second phase of approximately 125 single-family units were also completed. Building on these homes had been delayed due to the impact of the nationwide housing market. Habitat for Humanity continues to build homes in Immokalee. In December 2006, they completed the infrastructure in the Independence Subdivision Phases II, with 167 homes. Liberty PUD, with 162 single family homes has also been connected, to our system. They have completed the work for the Faith PUD, which included an additional 175 homes; and the Kaicasa PUD, which will consist of 280 homes. MDA VII IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Required Supplementary Information Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2021 Other Residential: The nearby Ave Maria University campus is expected to eventually impact Immokalee with increased demand for low cost residential homes for workers. Discussions were held in previous years with Lennar Homes regarding the possibility of 5,000 to 6,000 homes in the Serenoa subdivision, however, that did not materialize following the nationwide slump in housing prices. Barron Collier has since acquired that property, and they have not yet indicated what they plan to use the property for. Collier Enterprises has withdrawn their plans to build 400 homes near the Florida Tradeport. Commercial The EDC continues to market the Florida Tradeport, but has been unable to secure a key industry for that location. Plans were previously approved for the CCAA USDA Manufacturing Building at the airport, and that building is complete. Collier County Public Schools completed construction on the new Bethune Education Center. Collier County Parks completed the upgrade of their South Park Community Center. Immokalee continues to attract economically viable businesses within its boundaries. IWSD installed water and wastewater infrastructure to accommodate larger retail uses. Family Dollar has completed a new building on New Market Road. IWSD continues to provide water and wastewater services to the Seminole Tribe's casino and is working on an emergency interconnect agreement for the residential component of the reservation. New commercial development continues to be planned along the fringes of downtown Immokalee. Saint Matthews House replaced their Thrift Store on Main Street. First Bank built a new facility on North 15th Street. IWSD continues to evaluate our wastewater operations. The District has just begun the rehabilitation of three clarifiers. The District continues to manufacture our own fertilizer branded "Organi Kalee" and markets to agricultural uses. The A/C and Undersized Water Lines Replacement project replaced and upgraded over 50 miles of water lines within Immokalee. The cost of the project was over $20,000,000 and funded through the USDA.

The District's enabling legislation was repealed,updated,reenacted, and codified by Laws of Florida, Chapter 98-495 on May 28, 1998. On July 1, 2005,Laws of Florida, Chapter 2005-298 amended Laws of Florida, Chapter 98-495 by expanding the District's boundaries. On June 10, 2015, Laws of Florida, Chapter 2015-205 amended Laws of Florida, Chapter 98-495 to provide for salaries/honorariums for elected District Board of Commissioner members up to $250 each per month. On June 20, 2021, Laws of Florida, Chapter 2021-263 amended Laws of Florida, Chapter 98-495 to allow Board member terms to be 4 years or until a successor is appointed by the Governor. The District owns, operates, maintains and regulates its water and sewer plants and systems as an independent special district of the State of Florida. The District is governed by a seven(7)member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Governor of the State of Florida. The Board of Commissioners (the "Board") administer the District, independent from any other local governing body and serve staggered four(4)year terms. Reporting Entity Immokalee Water& Sewer District is financially independent of all other units of government. It is responsible for financing its own activities and the payment of its own debt. The Board of Commissioners (the "Board")has the responsibility to employ management that is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the District. The Board has absolute authority over all funds included in the entity. Immokalee Water& Sewer District is not a component unit of any other governmental unit. The District adheres to Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, "Financial Reporting Entity", as amended by GASB Statement Number 39, "Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 9 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Reporting Entity, continued Units" and GASB Statement No. 61, "The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus -An Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 34". These Statements require the financial statements of the District(the primary government)to include its component units, if any. A component unit is a legally separate agency for which the primary government is financially accountable or organizations whose exclusion would cause the financial statements to be misleading because of the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government. Financial accountability is determined by the primary government's ability to appoint the voting majority of the District's board, impose its will on the organization, the existence of a financial benefit/burden relationship or fiscal dependency. Based on this criteria, there are no component units included or required to be included in the District's financial statements. The Immokalee Water& Sewer District adheres to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 33 "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Non-Exchange Transactions." As such, capital related grant revenue is recorded as non-operating revenue and is reflected on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. The following is a summary of the significant accounting polices used in the preparation of these financial statements: The District adheres to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 34, "Basic Financial Statement and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments" (GASB 34). The government-wide financial statements along with the notes to the financial statements and the RSI, as noted below comprise the basic financial statements. The basic financial statements of the District are comprised of the following: -Government-wide financial statements -Notes to the financial statements -Required supplementary information other than MD&A IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 10 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e.,the Statements of Net Position, the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position and Statements of Cash Flows) report information on all of the activities of the District and do not emphasize fund types. These business-type activities comprise the primary government. Business-type activities rely on user fees and charges to support its activities rather than taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The purpose of the government-wide financial statements is to allow the user to be able to determine if the District is in a better or worse financial position than the prior year. The District uses only one fund. Government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement Number 33 "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions." Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements,rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the government-wide financial statements,rather than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as expenditures. The Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. 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 and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital improvements of a particular function. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 11 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Government-Wide Financial Statements, continued Operating revenues are considered to be revenues generated by services performed and/or by fees charged such as water and sewer usage, connection, inspection fees and flow testing. Budgetary Information As required, the District uses only one fund to account for its activities and, therefore, it is considered a major fund. The District has elected to report budgetary comparison of its major fund as required supplementary information(RSI). Fund Accounting The District's financial practices are based upon fund accounting concepts. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, recording cash and other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and net assets (fund equity balances) and changes therein. The accompanying financial statements reflect Business - Type Activities and are classified as a single Proprietary Fund Type - Enterprise Fund. This fund accounts for the cost of services provided by the District as well as the revenues earned by the District. Business-Type Activities-Proprietary Fund Type Enterprise Fund-An enterprise fund is used to account for operations (1) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or(2)where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance,public policy,management control, accountability, or other purposes. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 12 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Measurement Focus Proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the statements of net position. Proprietary fund-type operating statements present increases (i.e. revenues)and decreases (i.e. expenses) in total net position. Operating revenues and expenses result from providing water distribution as well as wastewater collection and treatment to members within the District's boundaries. Generally, other revenues and expenses are treated as non-operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Basis of Accounting The proprietary fund type is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded in the period earned and expenses are recorded in the period the liability is incurred. Budgetary Process The District operates under a fixed budget for control purposes. The budget and amendments, if any, are approved by the Board of Commissioners. The budget is prepared on a Non-GAAP accrual basis, whereby items such as capital expenditures and debt principal payments are budgeted as expenses. The annual budget serves as the legal authorization for expenditures. Expenditures cannot legally exceed the total amount budgeted. All budget amendments, which change the legally adopted total appropriation, are approved by the Board. The District follows these procedures in establishing budgetary data. 1. During the summer of each year, management submits to the Board of Commissioners a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing on October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 13 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Budgetary Process, continued 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain citizen comments. 3. The budget is adopted by approval of the Board of Commissioners. 4. Budget amounts, as shown in these financial statements, are as originally adopted or as amended by the Board of Commissioners. 5. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except as reflected in the supplementary information and as noted above. 6. The level of control for appropriations is exercised at the fund level. 7. Appropriations lapse at year-end. The Board of Commissioners did amend the budget during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 to decrease total budgeted net revenue by$1,736,355 and an increase in budgeted expenses (including net non-operating revenue and expense)by $1,736,355. Cash For the purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows, the District considers all highly liquid investments, including both unrestricted and restricted, with a maturity of three months or less,when purchased, to be a cash equivalent, in accordance with District policy. Accounts Receivable/Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivables include user fees for water and wastewater services provided as part of the operations by the District. The accounts receivable are recorded net of the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. The District operates using an allowance and collection policy that ultimately provides for discontinuance of water service due to nonpayment by the user. The policy also provides for application of the respective user's security deposit upon certain criteria. Additionally, the policy requires a user landlord to satisfy any outstanding user fees (tenant)prior to allowing services to a future tenant for that landlord. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 14 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Inventory Inventory consists of utility system parts and hardware supplies at year end. The inventories are valued at cost,which approximates net realizable value. The method used to determine the value of the inventory is the FIFO (first in-first out)method. Capital Assets and Depreciation Capital assets acquired by proprietary funds are reported in those funds at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are reported at estimated fair market value at the time received. Certain infrastructure-type fixed assets consisting of certain improvements such as roads, curbs, gutters and lighting systems have not been capitalized, as the District does not generally incur such expenditures. However, the systems' distribution and collection lines and pumps are capitalized and depreciated as part of the overall system. Assets acquired with a cost or fair value of$5,000 or more and a useful life of 1 year or more are capitalized. Maintenance,repairs and minor renovations are not capitalized. The acquisition of land and construction projects utilizing resources received from Federal and State agencies are capitalized when the related expenditure is incurred. The capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the following estimated useful lives: Asset Years Buildings/Plant and Plant Equipment 10-40 Capital Improvements, Distribution Lines 5-40 Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment 3-20 Vehicles 3-7 Restricted Assets These monies are restricted by the applicable debt covenants and grant agreements or as customer deposits. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 15 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Vacation Leave Accumulated unpaid vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the proprietary fund. The method of accrual is in accordance with Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Number 16, "Accounting for Compensated Absences" (GASB 16). This Standard provides for the measurement of accrued vacation leave using the pay or salary rates in effect at the balance sheet date. It also requires additional amounts to be accrued for certain salary related payments associated with the payment of compensated absences such as FICA and retirement benefits only. Accrued unused vacation is accrued and paid at termination. Accrued unused sick time is not paid at termination. Encumbrances Encumbrance accounting,under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is not employed by the District because at present it is not considered necessary to assure budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash planning and control. Membership (Connection) Fees Water(connection) service installation fees are dedicated for the system expansion and are treated as contributed capital but recognized as revenue when received(due to the District)by the District. Income Taxes The District, as a governmental unit, is exempt from income taxes under current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Florida State Law. Fund Equity Grants, entitlements or shared revenues which are externally restricted for capital acquisition or construction are treated as contributed capital but recorded as revenue when due to the District. Contributed or donated fixed assets are also treated as contributed capital but recorded as revenue when due the District. Reserved retained earnings represent those portions of fund equity legally restricted by debt covenants for current and future debt service. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 16 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Use of Estimates The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations or net assets. Subsequent Events Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 30, 2022, which is the date the basic financial statements were available to be issued. Application of FASB Pronouncements to Proprietary Funds In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB) Statement No. 20, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting", the District has elected not to apply those FASB Statements and Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989. Only GASB pronouncements issued after this date will be adopted by the District. Accounting Pronouncement GASB Statement No. 42 The District adheres to Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 42, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries" (GASB Statement No. 42). GASB Statement No. 42 establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for impairment of capital assets. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 17 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE A- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Accounting Pronouncement GASB Statement No. 42, continued A capital asset is considered impaired when its service utility has declined significantly and unexpectedly. Governments are required to evaluate prominent events or changes in circumstances affecting capital assets to determine whether impairment of a capital asset has occurred. Such events or changes in circumstances that may be indicative of impairment include evidence of physical damage, enactment or approval of laws or regulations or other changes in environmental factors,technological changes or evidence of obsolescence, changes in the manner or duration of a capital asset, and construction stoppage. A capital asset generally should be considered impaired if both(a)the decline in service utility of the capital asset is large in magnitude and(b) the event or change in circumstance is outside the normal life cycle of the capital asset. The District incurred no capital asset impairment activity for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the District continued construction on its system-wide improvements. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the District early implemented GASB Statement No. 89, "Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period". The implementation of the pronouncement requires the interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an expense in the period in which the cost is incurred for financial statement prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a result, no interest costs were capitalized on the project for fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. During the year ended September 30, 2021,the District, however, settled a dispute related to system improvements. As such,the District agreed to settle with the vendor plus $155,297 in interest. The District expensed this cost. NOTE F- RETIREMENT PLANS Plan Description and Provisions Section 401(a) Plan The District historically offered all its employees the opportunity to participate in an individual government employer-sponsored defined contribution 414(h) Money Purchase Pick-Up Retirement Plan and Trust(the "Plan"). Effective January 1, 2009, the District restated its retirement plan. As such,the restated plan qualifies as a 401(a)Money Purchase defined contribution plan. The Plan is administered by a third party administrator. The employer funds substantially all the administrative costs of the Plan. The Plan allows all employees to participate after three (3)months creditable employment. Employees who elect to participate must contribute three(3%)percent of their gross wages, excluding overtime compensation,up to $3,000. If the employee desires to defer more than$3,000 they can defer those amounts into the available IRC Section 457 Plan. The employer is required to contribute six(6%) percent of the respective participating employees' gross wages, excluding overtime compensation. Employer contributions into the 401(a) Plan are only required for those participating employees who contribute three(3%) of their gross wages, as defined. During the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the District contributed 100% of its required contributions. IMMOKALEE WATER& SEWER DISTRICT Page 23 of 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021 and 2020 NOTE F- RETIREMENT PLANS, CONTINUED Plan Description and Provisions, continued Section 401(a) Plan The District's gross contributions (employer portion)to the Plan for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $148,649, $157,046, and$142,584 respectively. Employee contributions to the Plan were $82,610, $78,363 and $73,939, respectively for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. There were no forfeitures used to reduce employer contributions. Benefits available are limited to the value of the respective employee's individual account. Individuals direct the investment of their individual account. Benefits vest at a rate of twenty(20%)percent per year of creditable service and vest in full after five years of creditable service. A creditable year of service is defined as a year in which an eligible participant completes 1,000 hours of service. Employees immediately vest in their contributions. Normal retirement shall be considered to be attainment of age 55 and completion of five(5) creditable years of service. Employees who fail to complete five(5) years creditable service vest in their respective accounts at twenty (20%)percent per completed year of creditable service. The Plan requires retirement at April 1 following the date the participant reaches age 70 1/2. The Plan provides that forfeitures of employer contributions by non-vested terminated employees are to be used to offset future employer contributions. Therefore, employer contributions made to employee accounts who fail to complete the respective year revert back to the employer. Benefits available to the employee from the Plan are those generated from the respective employees account. The employees account may lose principal. The District has no liability for losses, if any, incurred by the plan. Loans to participants are permitted from the participant's specific account. Participants should refer to the complete plan document for specific detail of the Plan. Section 457 Plan Effective November 1, 2012,the District approved a resolution to establish a Deferred Compensation Plan to be made available to all eligible District employees pursuant to Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan is administered by a third party administrator. The employer funds substantially all administrative costs of the Plan. All contributions made to the Plan are voluntary deductions from employees' wages, with no contributions to the Plan made by the District. Employees are eligible to participate after 3 months employment and attainment of age 18. Deferral amounts are limited per IRS Code Section 457(e)(15). For the year ended September 30, 2021 the deferral limit to the Plan was $19,500. Employees are immediately vested in their salary deferral amounts.

Federal Grants Grant monies received by the District are for specific purposes and are subject to review by the grantor agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursement due to disallowed expenditures.

NOTE Q - COVID 19 In early March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the coronavirus outbreak"COVID-19" as a global pandemic, and it,unfortunately, continues to spread. Business continuity, including supply chains and consumer demand across a broad range of industries and countries,have been severely impacted, as governments and their citizens take significant and unprecedented measures to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic. On April 1, 2020, Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis ordered all Floridians to stay home, to lock down the State against the Coronavirus. Certain governmental activity was cancelled and/or severely limited. The District has adapted its operations to accommodate the current environment. However,the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. This pandemic has adversely affected global economic activity and greatly contributed to instability in financial markets. Management is actively monitoring the local situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, donors, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of COVID-19 and the global and local responses to curb its spread, the District is not able to estimate the future effects of COVID-19 on its results of operation, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021-22. NOTE R- SUBSEQUENT EVENT The District submitted and the Legislature approved HB/CS 1495 on March 10, 2022. The Bill provides for and/or clarifies a variety of District rights and authority, including defining the requirements for Board quorum.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Immokalee Water & Sewer District's internal control over financial reporting(internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Immokalee Water& Sewer District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Immokalee Water& Sewer District's internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the basic financial statements will not be prevented or detected and INTEGRITY SERVICE EXPERIENCE 12621 World Plaza Lane,Building 55 •Fort Myers,FL 33907 •Phone: (239)333-2090• Fax: (239)333-2097 Page 41 of 47 corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness,yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined previously. However, material weaknesses may exist that were not identified. We,however, noted certain other matters that we have reported in our Report to Management dated March 30,2022. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Immokalee Water& Sewer District's financial statements are free from material misstatement,we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations, contracts and grants,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. 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 Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. 46,14.) /194M 0#(114 • 1 TUSCAN& COMPANY, P.A.

In connection with our audit, we determined that the District complied with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes as reported in our Independent Accountant's Report on Compliance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes dated March 30, 2022, included herein. • Section 10.557(3)(m), Rules of the Auditor General, requires a notarized affidavit, related to impact fees, signed and sworn to be the Chief Financial Officer be included in the audit report. No such affidavit is included as the District has not implemented any Impact Fees. PRIOR YEAR COMMENTS: 2018-1 Significant Adjustments to the Account Balances as of and for the Year Ended September 30, 2018 Were Required During the Audit of the Financial Statements. The initial trial balance provided for the audit contained incorrect balances for accounts payable,retainage payable, contributed capital, net assets and fixed asset additions. We recommend that the District obtain or designate a qualified individual to provide assistance to review monthly account balances and prepare month-end closing adjustments. Fiscal year 2019 addendum During fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the District contracted an accounting professional experienced in governmental accounting to assist in the monthly and annual closing and reconciliation process. As a result significant improvements were made, however not all areas were addressed due to the timing of implementation. As such, several audit adjustments were still proposed. The reconciliations and adjustments caused the audit process to be delayed and time consuming. The District, with the assistance of the contracted accounting professional, has proceeded to implement a systematic process of closing and reconciling and is committed to continuing this service. Fiscal year 2020 addendum During fiscal year ended September 30, 2020,the District continued to experience turnover in administrative staff. A new Executive Director was hired during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and a Finance Director was hired subsequent to year end. Efforts are being focused to systematically review the accounting and operations of the Page 46 of 47 District to improve the closing and reconciling process however, significant audit adjustments were proposed due to the timing of the implementation. Current year addendum During the current year, the District appeared to adequately record and track construction project draws. The grant related construction projects are required to be inititally self funded by the District and therefore, no federal grant funds were awarded or utilized during the current year. This comment appears to be resolved. 2020-1 Reconciliation of Account Balances Should Be Performed Routinely and Timely During the audit, it was noted that the District was unable to provide an accounts payable listing and fixed asset reconciliation that agreed to the balances recorded at fiscal year-end. We recommend that the accounting staff reconcile all account balances on a monthly basis, ensuring that all balance sheet accounts agree to subsidiary ledgers. These reconciliations should be performed on a monthly basis and any differences or discrepancies investigated and corrected. Current year addendum During the audit, we noted that the balance sheet accounts agreed to the subsidiary ledgers. However, there were several significant adjusting journal entries and summary of unadjusted differences. We continue to recommend that all balance sheet accounts and significant revenue and expense accounts be analyzed, reconciled and reviewed monthly. 2020-2 Recalculation of Billing Rates Should Be Performed During the billing procedures performed, it was noted that eight(8) of the twenty-five (25) commercial accounts selected for testing contained an incorrect billing rate. The error was not discovered for several months as the District did not perform a recalculation of billings for all customer types to verify rates. Upon discovery, the error was corrected by the third party billing company. We recommend that the District recalculate and test billings for all customer types upon implementation of approved rate changes. Current year addendum During the billing procedures we tested twenty-five(25) accounts and found no exceptions. This comment appears to be resolved. Page 47 of 47 2020-3 SR 29 Special Assessment not Recorded During the year ended September 30, 2019, the District levied special assessments on system users benefiting from system improvements on State Road (SR)29. The assessment was initially levied through the Collier County Tax Collector on November 1, 2018. The original assessment was not recorded as a receivable by the District at the time. This resulted in the understatement of net position for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 and, consequently, a restatement of the ending net position was recorded for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 in the amount of$496,731 during the year ended September 30, 2020. Current year addendum During the current year audit, there were no restatements necessary. This comment appears to be resolved. CURRENT YEAR COMMENTS: No financially significant comments noted.
