REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Supervisors Florida Green Finance Authority Florida

Report on Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Florida Green Finance Authority (the “Authority”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of Florida Green Finance Authority as of September 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Authority and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

- 1 -

To the Board of Supervisors Florida Green Finance Authority

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year beyond the financial statement date, including currently known information that may raise substantial doubt thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:



Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts, and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.









We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

To the Board of Supervisors Florida Green Finance Authority

Required Supplementary Information

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

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated January 12, 2026 on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations and contracts.

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

in considering Florida Green Finance Authority’s compliance.

Florida Green Finance Authority MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended September 30, 2024

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

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

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

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

Fund financial statements present financial information for governmental funds.

These

statements provide financial information for the major funds of the Authority.	Governmental

fund financial statements provide information on the current assets and liabilities of the funds, changes in current financial resources (revenues and expenditures), and current available resources.

Florida Green Finance Authority MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended September 30, 2024

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Fund financial statements include a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for all governmental funds. A statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances – budget and actual is provided for the Authority’s General Fund.  Fund financial statements provide more detailed information

about the Authority’s activities.

Individual funds are established by the Authority to track

revenues that are restricted to certain uses or to comply with legal requirements.

The government-wide financial statement is designed to provide the reader with a broad overview of the Authority’s finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. In the government-wide statement of net position, the governmental activities column is presented on a consolidated basis and is reported on a full-accrual economic resource basis, which recognizes all non-current assets and receivables as well as all non-current debt and obligations. The effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. In contrast, the governmental fund financial statements are grouped into funds to account for and to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The fund financial statements are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis where as revenues are recorded when collected in the current period or within 60 days of year-end and expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred. The difference between the two statements arises primarily from the long-term economic focus of the Statement of Activities versus the current financial resources focus of the governmental funds. A reconciliation of the government-wide and the fund financial statement is provided to illustrate these differences.

Notes to financial statements provide additional detail concerning the financial activities and financial balances of the Authority. Additional information about the accounting practices of the Authority, investments of the Authority, capital assets and long-term debt are some of the items included in the notes to financial statements.

Financial Highlights

The following are the highlights of financial activity for the year ended September 30, 2024.



The Authority’s total assets exceeded total liabilities by $19,424,134 (net position). Unrestricted net position for Governmental Activities was $19,031,517. Restricted net position for debt service was $392,617.



Governmental activities revenues totaled $65,310,794 while governmental activities expenses totaled $52,341,967.

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

Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds

$ 12,927,058

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

Current payments on assessments receivable are recognized as unavailable revenues at the fund level. These payments were recognized as revenues in a prior year at the government-wide level. This is the current year change.

59,028,343

The issuance of long-term debt is reflected as an other financing source at the fund level; however, it is an increase in non-current liabilities at the government-wide level.

(60,484,604)

Principal payments on long-term debt are expenditures at the fund level; however, these payments reduce liabilities at the government-wide level.

1,456,262

In the Statement of Activities, interest is accrued on outstanding and matured bonds; whereas at the fund level, interest expenditures are reported
when due. This is the change in accrued interest from the prior year.

Florida Green Finance Authority NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Authority 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. The Authority's more significant accounting policies are described below.

1.

Reporting Entity
Florida Green Finance Authority was established on June 11, 2012 pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement between the Town of Lantana and the Town of Mangonia Park (the “Originating Parties”) and subsequent parties who have since become members of the Authority (“Parties”) and the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The Authority was established for the purpose of issuing revenue bonds and other debt obligations to provide financing for the cost of certain improvements as defined by Section 163.08, Florida Statutes (“PACE ACT”), including energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy improvements and wind resistance improvements (“Qualifying Improvements”). The Authority shall exercise any or all powers granted under Sections
163.01 and 163.08, Florida Statutes as well as powers, privileges and authorities which the Originating Parties and Parties might exercise separately. The Authority is governed by an up to seven-member Board of Directors appointed by the governing bodies of each of the Originating Parties and five additional Directors. The authority plans to appoint one Director from each of the five geographic regions that make up the water management districts in Florida. These five Directors will be appointed by the first governing body that joins the Authority within each water management district.
As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the Florida Green Finance Authority (the primary government) as a stand-alone government. The reporting entity for the Authority includes all functions of government in which the Authority’s Board exercises oversight responsibility including, but not limited to, financial interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, significant ability to influence operations and accountability for fiscal matters.
Based upon the application of the above-mentioned criteria as set forth in Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the Authority has not identified a component unit.

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting

The basic financial statements of the Authority are composed of the following:



Government-wide financial statements



Fund financial statements



Notes to financial statements

a.

Government-wide Financial Statements

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

Governmental activities are supported by special assessments and interest. Program revenues include charges for services and payments made by parties outside of the reporting government’s citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the Statement of Activities to present the net cost of each program

Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets, rather than reported as

an expenditure.

Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the

government-wide financial statements, rather than as an other financing source.

Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.

b.

Fund Financial Statements

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

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

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)

b.

Fund Financial Statements (Continued)

Governmental Funds

The Authority classifies fund balance according to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 54 – Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent.

The Authority has various policies governing the fund balance classifications.

Nonspendable Fund Balance – This classification consists of amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted Fund Balance – This classification includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by the state constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation.

Assigned Fund Balance – This classification consists of the Board of Supervisors’ intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The assigned fund balances can also be assigned by the Authority’s management company.

Unassigned Fund Balance – This classification is the residual classification for the government’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned fund balance is considered to be utilized first when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.

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

Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. Interest associated with the current fiscal period is considered to be an accrual item and so has been recognized as revenue of the current fiscal period.

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)

b.

Fund Financial Statements (Continued)

Governmental Funds (Continued)

Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources”. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.

Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by non-current liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.

Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources are expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing sources rather than as a fund liability.

Debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.

3.

Basis of Presentation

a. Governmental Major Funds

General Fund – The General Fund is the Authority’s primary operating fund.

It

accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Debt Service Fund – Accounts for debt service requirements to retire the revenue bonds and loans issued by the Authority.

Capital Projects Fund – The Capital Projects Fund accounts for construction of certain qualifying improvements to properties within the boundaries of the Authority.

Basis of Presentation (Continued)

b. Non-current Governmental Assets/Liabilities

GASB Statement 34 requires that non-current governmental assets and non-current governmental liabilities, such as long-term debt, be reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide Statement of Net Position.

4.

Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position

a.

Cash and Investments

Chapter 280, Florida Statutes require state and local governmental units to deposit monies with financial institutions classified as "Qualified Public Depositories," a multiple financial institution pool whereby groups of securities pledged by the various financial institutions provide common collateral from their deposits of public funds. This pool is provided as additional insurance to the federal depository insurance and allows for additional assessments against the member institutions, providing full insurance for public deposits.

The Authority is authorized to invest in those financial instruments as established by Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. The authorized investments consist of:

1.

Direct obligations of the United States Treasury;

2.

The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperative Act of 1969;

3.

Interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in authorized qualified public depositories;

4.

Securities and Exchange Commission, registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency.

Cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less and held in a qualified public depository as defined by Section 280.02, Florida Statutes.

b.

Restricted Assets

Certain net position of the Authority will be classified as restricted assets on the statement of net position because their use is limited either by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation; or by restrictions imposed externally by creditors.

c.

Budgets

Budgets are prepared and adopted after a public hearing for the governmental funds, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. The Authority utilizes the same basis of accounting for budgets as it does for revenues and expenditures in its various funds. Formal budgets are adopted for the general fund. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. As a result, deficits in the budget variance columns of the accompanying financial statements may occur. All budgeted appropriations lapse at year end.

d.

Deferred Inflows of Resources

Deferred inflows of resources represent the acquisition of net position/fund balance that is applicable to a future reporting period. The unavailable revenues are reported only at the fund level. The source of the unavailable revenues is assessments receivable on qualifying improvements to properties within the Authority. The revenues will be recognized in the period the amounts become available.

e.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and

expenditures estimates.

1.

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

“Total fund balances” of the Authority’s governmental funds, $22,102,886, differs from “net position” of governmental activities, $19,424,134, reported in the Statement of Net Position. This difference primarily results from the long-term economic focus of the Statement of Net Position versus the current financial resources focus of the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet. The effect of the differences is illustrated below.

Deferred inflows of resources

The assessments receivable in future years are recognized as deferred inflows of resources at the fund level, however, these amounts were recognized as revenues at the government-wide level in a prior year.

Deferred inflows of resources

Long-term debt transactions

Long-term liabilities applicable to the Authority’s governmental activities are not due and payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported at the governmental fund level. All liabilities are reported in the Statement of Net Position. Balances at September 30, 2024 were:

The “net change in fund balances” for government funds, $12,927,058, differs from the “change in net position” for governmental activities, $12,968,827, reported in the Statement of Activities. The differences arise primarily from the long-term economic focus of the Statement of Activities versus the current financial resources focus of the governmental funds. The effect of the differences is illustrated below.

Assessments receivable

Revenues in the current period associated with the current year payments on assessments receivable were recognized as revenues at the government-wide level in a prior year.

NOTE C – CASH AND INVESTMENTS

All deposits are held in qualified public depositories and are included on the accompanying balance sheet as cash and investments.

Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits

Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Authority's deposits may not be returned to it. The Authority follows the provisions of Chapter 280, Florida Statutes regarding deposits and investments. As of September 30, 2024, the Authority's bank balance and the carrying value were $22,633,425. Exposure to custodial credit risk was as follows. The Authority maintains all deposits in a qualified public depository in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 280, Florida Statutes, which means that all deposits are fully insured by Federal Depositors Insurance or collateralized under Chapter 280, Florida Statutes.

As of September 30, 2024, the Authority held no investments.

Interest Rate Risk

The formal investment policy of the Authority conforms with State statutory requirements and bond indentures for investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to increasing interest rates.

Credit Risk

The Authority's investments are limited by state statutory requirements and bond compliance. The Authority has no investment policy that would further limit its investment choices.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Authority places no limit on the amount it may invest in any one investment.

The types of deposits and investments and their level of risk exposure as of September 30, 2024 were typical of these items during the fiscal year then ended. The Authority considers any decline in fair value for certain investments to be temporary.

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

To the Board of Supervisors Florida Green Finance Authority Florida

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents, of Florida Green Finance Authority, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated January 12, 2026.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

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

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

- 37 -

To the Board of Supervisors Florida Green Finance Authority

Report on Compliance and Other Matters

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

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of

the entity’s internal control or on compliance.

This report is an integral part of an audit

performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
