Department of Defense Agency Financial Report for FY 2012
REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY STEWARDSHIP INFORMATION
Federal financial reporting requires DoD to report on its stewardship over certain resources
that cannot be measured in traditional financial reports. These resources do not meet the
criteria for assets and liabilities required to be reported in the financial statements, but are
important to understand the operations and financial condition of DoD at the date of the
financial statements and in subsequent periods.
The Department’s stewardship investments are comprised of, and are measured in terms of,
expenses incurred for: (1) Non-Federal Physical Property (federally-financed, but not
federally owned), and (2) federally-financed Research and Development (R&D). Information
on additional reporting requirements for non-Federal Physical Property and R&D follows.
NON-FEDERAL PHYSICAL PROPERTY
The Non-Federal Physical Property investments support the purchase, construction, or major
renovation of physical property owned by state and local governments. In addition, Non-
Federal Physical Property investments include federally-owned physical property transferred
to state and local governments. The Department participates in cost-sharing agreements
with non-Federal sponsors which are governed under numerous Water Resources
Development Acts. The Department’s transferred assets include expenditures supporting the
design, build, and construction services/management for the missions of commercial
navigation, flood/storm damage reduction, hydropower, regulatory, environmental,
recreation and water supply.

INVESTMENTS IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Investment values included in this report are based on R&D expenditures. The R&D
programs are classified in the following categories: Basic Research, Applied Research, and
Development. The amounts reported in the Investments in R&D table show outlays from
FY 2008 – FY 2012 for all DoD Components. Through efforts to improve the quality of
reported data, the FY 2008 through FY2012 values have been updated to include
investments reported by the Defense Health Program and the DoD Inspector General (the
entity). These investment values were not reported in FY 2011. The definition for each
type of R&D Category and Subcategories are explained below.
