MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br />

As management of the City of Red Oak, we offer readers of the City's financial statements this narrative<br />

overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, <strong>2020</strong>. We<br />

encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information<br />

that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found preceding this report.<br />

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS<br />

• On a government-wide basis, the assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its<br />

liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by<br />

$36,773,822 (Net Position). Of this amount, $8,943,287 (unrestricted net position) may be used to<br />

meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.<br />

• On a government-wide basis, the City's total net position increased by $13,862,795. This increase<br />

is attributable largely to capital grants and contributions of $3.5 million and the sale of land held for<br />

sale in the Industrial Development Corporation in the amount of $7.5 million.<br />

• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending<br />

fund balances of $39,493,996. Approximately 10.5% of this total amount, $4,154,178 is unassigned<br />

and available for use at the City's discretion.<br />

• At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $4,154,178<br />

or 32.2% of the total General Fund expenditures.<br />

• The City's outstanding debt increased by $6,137,690 or 14.5% during the current fiscal year due to<br />

the issuance of bonds for various capital improvements, primarily including construction and<br />

resurfacing of roads, park improvements, and purchase and improvements for municipal buildings.<br />

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.<br />

The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial<br />

statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also<br />

contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.<br />

Government-wide <strong>Financial</strong> Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed<br />

to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector<br />

business.<br />

The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City's assets, deferred outflows,<br />

liabilities and deferred inflows, with the difference between these reported as Net Position. Over time,<br />

increases or decreases in Net Position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of<br />

the City is improving or deteriorating.<br />

The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's Net Position changed during the<br />

most recent fiscal year. All changes in Net Position are reported when the underlying event giving rise to<br />

the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are<br />

reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,<br />

uncollected taxes and earned but unused compensated absences).<br />
