Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Stoneybrook South Community Development District as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility 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; this includes 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Accounting Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

To the Board of Supervisors
Stoneybrook South Community Development District
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of Stoneybrook South Community Development District, as of September 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management Discussion and Analysis be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, 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 we 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 April 13, 2022 on our consideration of the District’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 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 Stoneybrook South Community Development District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s discussion and analysis of Stoneybrook South Community Development District (the “District”) financial performance provides an objective and easily readable analysis of the District’s financial activities. The analysis provides summary financial information for the District and should be read in conjunction with the District’s financial statements.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The District’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 District’s financial position and results of operations. The Fund financial statements present financial information for the District’s major funds. The Notes to financial statements provide additional information concerning the District’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 District, with the difference between assets and liabilities reported as net position. Assets, liabilities, and net position are reported for all Governmental activities.

The statement of activities presents information on all revenues and expenses of the District 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 District. To assist in understanding the District’s operations, expenses have been reported as governmental activities. Governmental activities financed by the District 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 District. 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.

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 District’s General Fund. Fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District’s activities. Individual funds are established by the District to track revenues that are restricted to certain uses or to comply with legal requirements.

The government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements provide different pictures of the District. The government-wide financial statements provide an overall picture of the District’s financial standing. These statements are comparable to private-sector companies and give a good understanding of the District’s overall financial health and how the District paid for the various activities, or functions, provided by the District. All assets of the District, including capital assets, are reported in the statement of net position. All liabilities, including principal outstanding on bonds and notes are included. In the statement of activities, transactions between the different functions of the District have been eliminated in order to avoid “doubling up” the revenues and expenses. The fund financial statements provide a picture of the major funds of the District. In the case of governmental activities, outlays for long lived assets are reported as expenditures and long-term liabilities, such as general obligation bonds, are not included in the fund financial statements. To provide a link from the fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements, reconciliation is provided from the fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements.

Notes to financial statements provide additional detail concerning the financial activities and financial balances of the District. Additional information about the accounting practices of the District, investments of the District, 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, 2021.

The District’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $18,636,584 (net position). Unrestricted net position was $1,601,574, restricted net position was $938,433 and net investment in capital assets was $16,096,577.

Governmental activities revenues totaled $2,678,226 while governmental activities expenses totaled $4,194,642.

For the Year Ended September 30, 2021

Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds	$

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

Repayment of bond and note principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds,	
but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.	

Governmental funds report bond discounts as expenditures. However, in the	
Statement of Activities, the cost is allocated as amortization expense.	

The deferred amount on refunding is amortized at the government-wide level as	
interest over the life of the associated bonds payable. This is the current year	
amount amortized.	

The deferred gain on refunding is amortized at the government-wide level as	
interest over the life of the associated bonds payable. This is the current year	
amount amortized.	

171,348

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the		
Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their		
estimated useful lives as depreciation. This is the amount that depreciation		
$(2,277,873), exceeded capital outlay, $49,595, in the current period.	(2,228,278)

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the District 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 District's more significant accounting policies are described below.

Reporting Entity

The District was established on July 24, 2006, pursuant to the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, (the "Act"), by Ordinance No. 06-26 and amended by Ordinance No. 2016-69, of the Board of County Commissioners of Osceola County, as a Community Development District. The District was established for the purposes of financing and managing the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of the infrastructure necessary for community development within its jurisdiction. The District is authorized to issue bonds for the purpose, among others, of financing, funding, planning, establishing, acquiring, constructing district roads, landscaping, and other basic infrastructure projects within or outside the boundaries of the Stoneybrook South Community Development District. The District is governed by a Board of Supervisors who are elected on an at large basis by the qualified electors within the District. The District operates within the criteria established by Chapter 190, Florida Statutes.

As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the Stoneybrook South Community Development District (the primary government) as a stand-alone government. The reporting entity for the District includes all functions of government in which the District’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, the District has identified no component units.

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting

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

Government-wide financial statements

Fund financial statements

Notes to financial statements

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)

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. 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.

Fund Financial Statements

The underlying accounting system of the District 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.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)

b. Fund Financial Statements (Continued) Governmental Funds
The District reports fund balance according to 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 District 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 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 District’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.

Fund Balance Spending Hierarchy – For all governmental funds except special revenue funds, when restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are combined in a fund, qualified expenditures are paid first from restricted or committed fund balance, as appropriate, then assigned and finally unassigned fund balances.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)

b. Fund Financial Statements (Continued) Governmental Funds (Continued)
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 District 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.

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 an other financing source rather than as a fund liability.

Debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.

Basis of Presentation

Governmental Major Funds

General Fund – The General Fund is the District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Basis of Presentation (Continued)

Governmental Major Funds (Continued)

Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund accounts for debt service requirements to retire Special Assessment Bonds, which were used to finance the construction of certain improvements within the District.

Non-current Governmental Assets/Liabilities

GASB Statement 34 requires that non-current governmental assets, such as infrastructure, and non-current governmental liabilities, such as general obligation bonds be reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide Statement of Net Position.

Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows and Net Position

Cash and Investments

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

Direct obligations of the United States Treasury;

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

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

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Assets,	Deferred Outflows,	Liabilities,	Deferred Inflows and Net	Position (Continued)
Cash and Investments (Continued)

4. Securities and Exchange Commission, registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency.
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Assets
Certain net position of the District are 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. In a fund with both restricted and unrestricted net position, qualified expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted net position and then from unrestricted net position.

Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include infrastructure, are reported in the governmental activities column.

The District defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. The valuation basis for all assets is historical cost.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend its useful life are not capitalized.

Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Depreciation of capital assets is computed and recorded by utilizing the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives ranging from 15 to 25 years.

Deferred Outflows of Resources
Deferred outflow of resources is the consumption of net position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting period. Deferred amount on refunding is amortized and recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of the bond.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4. Assets,	Deferred Outflows,	Liabilities, Deferred Inflows and Net	Position (Continued)

Deferred Inflows of Resources
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future reporting period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The District only has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. Deferred gain on refunding is reported only at the government-wide level. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that amounts become available.

Bond Discounts

Bond discounts associated with the issuance of bonds are amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method of accounting.

Budgets

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

NOTE	B	–		RECONCILIATION	OF	GOVERNMENT-WIDE	AND	FUND	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

“Total fund balances” of the District’s governmental funds, $4,367,043, differs from “net position” of governmental activities, $18,636,584, 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 on the following page.

NOTE	B	–		RECONCILIATION	OF	GOVERNMENT-WIDE	AND	FUND	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-wide Statement of Net Position (Continued)
Capital related items
When capital assets (land, buildings and improvements, infrastructure and equipment that are to be used in governmental activities) are purchased or constructed, the cost of those assets is reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, the Statement of Net Position included those capital assets among the assets of the District as a whole.

Infrastructure	$  45,645,737	
Accumulated depreciation		(9,598,811)	
Total	$  36,046,926	
Long-term debt transactions

Long-term liabilities applicable to the District’s governmental activities are not due and payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. All liabilities (both current and long-term) are reported in the Statement of Net Position. Balances at September 30, 2021 were:

Bonds payable	$ (20,970,000)	
Bond discount, net		157,655	
Total	$ (20,812,345)	

Deferred amount on refunding

The difference between the outstanding balance of the old debt and the cost of the new debt is a deferred inflow/outflow of resources. This balance is amortized over the life of the new debt. The unamortized balance is reflected as deferred amount on refunding and deferred gain on refunding.

Deferred amount on refunding	$	20,581

Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the Statement of Activities

The “net change in fund balances” for government funds, $171,348, differs from the “change in net position” for governmental activities, $(1,516,416), 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:

Capital related items

When capital assets that are to be used in governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the resources expended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in the Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation. As a result, fund balances decrease by the amount of financial resources expended, whereas net position decrease by the amount of depreciation charged for the year.

Depreciation	$	(2,277,873)	
Capital outlay		49,595	
Total

Long-term debt transactions	$	(2,228,278)	

When long-term debt is issued for governmental activities, the resources obtained are recognized as an other financing source at the fund level. At the government-wide level, however, the new debt increases non-current liabilities. Also, interest is recognized when due at the fund level, but is accrued at the government-wide level.

Debt principal payments	$	510,000

Accrued interest	$	10,812

Amortization expense of the bond discount and deferred amounts on refunding does not require the use of current resources and therefore is not reported in the governmental funds.

Amortization of bond discount	$	(6,830)	
Amortization of deferred amount on refunding	(1,171)	
Amortization of deferred gain on refunding		27,703

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 District's deposits may not be returned to it. The District does not have a formal deposit policy for custodial credit risk, however, they follow the provisions of Chapter 280, Florida Statutes regarding deposits and investments. As of September 30, 2021, the District's bank balance was $93,734 and the carrying value was $68,424. Exposure to custodial credit risk was as follows. The District 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.

Investments

As of September 30, 2021, the District had the following investments and maturities:

	Investment		Maturity Date	 Fair Value 	
First American Treasury Obilgations	13 days*	$ 2,752,313	
Florida PRIME	49 days*		1,501,473 	
Total		 $ 4,253,786 	

*Weighted average maturity

The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy recently established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. The District uses a market approach in measuring fair value that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets, liabilities, or groups of assets and liabilities.

Assets or liabilities are classified into one of three levels. Level 1 is the most reliable and is based on quoted price for identical assets, or liabilities, in an active market. Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs when obtaining quoted prices for identical or similar assets, or liabilities, in markets that are not active. Level 3 is the least reliable and uses significant unobservable inputs that use the best information available under the circumstances, which includes the District’s own data in measuring unobservable inputs.

Based on the criteria in the preceding paragraph, the investment in First American Treasury Obligations is a Level 1 asset.

NOTE C – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Investments (Continued)
The District’s investment policy allows management to invest in investments permitted under Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. The investment in Florida PRIME is measured at amortized cost. Florida PRIME has established policies and guidelines regarding participant transactions and the authority to limit or restrict withdrawals or impose a penalty for an early withdrawal. As of September 30, 2021, there were no redemption fees, maximum transaction amounts, or any other requirements that would limit daily access to 100 percent of the account value.
Interest Rate Risk

The District does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.

Credit Risk

The District's investments are limited by state statutory requirements and bond compliance. The District has no investment policy that would further limit its investment choices. As of September 30, 2021, all of the District’s investments were rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The District places no limit on the amount it may invest in any one fund. The investments in First American Treasury Obligations funds represent 65% of the District's total investments. The investments in Florida PRIME are 35% of the District’s total investments.

The types of deposits and investments and their level of risk exposure as of September 30, 2021 were typical of these items during the fiscal year then ended.

NOTE D – SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUES

Assessments are non-ad valorem assessments on benefitted property within the District. Operating and Maintenance Assessments are based upon adopted budget and levied annually. Debt Service Assessments are levied when bonds are issued and collected annually for the term of the bond. The District may collect assessments directly or utilize the uniform method of collection (Chapter 197.3632, Florida Statutes). Directly collected assessments are due as determined by annual assessment resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Assessments collected under the uniform method are mailed by County Tax Collector on November 1 and due on or before March 31 of each year. Property owners may prepay a portion or all of the Debt Service Assessments on their property subject to various provisions in the bond documents.

Assessments and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

NOTE E – CAPITAL ASSETS

Capital asset activity for the year ended September 30, 2021 was as follows:

Balance	Balance

NOTE F – LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

Summary of Significant Bond Resolution Terms and Covenants

The District levies special assessments pursuant to Section 190.022, Florida Statutes and the assessment rolls are approved by resolutions of the District Board. The collections are to be strictly accounted for and applied to the debt service of the bond series for which they were levied. The District covenants to levy special assessments in annual amounts adequate to provide for payment of principal and interest on the bonds. However, payment of principal and interest is dependent on the money available in the debt service fund and the District’s ability to collect special assessments levied.

The bonds are subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption prior to maturity, in whole on any date, or in part on an interest payment date, without premium, together with accrued interest to the redemption date if monies are available to retire the debt in accordance with the provisions of the indenture.

The bond resolution and the trust indenture provide for the establishment of certain accounts and an order in which revenues are to be deposited into these accounts. The accounts include a construction, revenue, redemption, reserve, interest and prepayment account and are maintained by a trustee.

The bond indenture provides for Debt Service Reserve Funds, which shall be held by the Trustee separate and apart from all other funds. The following is a schedule of reserve requirements and balances in the reserve accounts at September 30, 2021:

The following is a schedule of required reserve deposits as of September 30, 2021:

NOTE G – ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

During the year ended September 30, 2014, the District agreed, in substantial form, to an acquisition agreement with the Developer. The acquisition agreement includes a promissory note for amounts necessary to complete the project that are in addition to the construction funds received relating to the issuance of the Series 2014 Bonds, in the event that the District issues additional bonds. The District Engineer estimated the construction costs of Assessment Area 2‐A to be $17,895,000 and the funds deposited in the construction account relating to the Series 2014 bond issue amount to be $13,822,005, a difference of $4,072,995. Accordingly, the promissory note is estimated to be valued at approximately $4.1 million; however, the note is only payable from the issuance of additional bonds for Assessment Area 2, which the District is not obligated to issue. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

NOTE H – RISK MANAGEMENT

The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the government carries commercial insurance.

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
Stoneybrook South Community Development District Osceola County, 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 of Stoneybrook South Community Development District, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 13, 2022.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered Stoneybrook South Community Development 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 opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Stoneybrook South Community Development District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Stoneybrook South Community Development 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 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 may exist that have not been identified.

To the Board of Supervisors
Stoneybrook South Community Development District

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Stoneybrook South Community Development District'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.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT/COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 218.415, FLORIDA STATUTES

To the Board of Supervisors
Stoneybrook South Community Development District Osceola County, Florida
