Honorable District Judges

Honorable County Commissioners
County of Victoria
Victoria, Texas

The County Auditor's Office is pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of
the County of Victoria, Texas, (the "County") for the year ended December 3 1 , 2006. Responsibility for
both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including
all disclosures, rests with the County. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material
aspects; that it is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of
operations of the County as measured by the financial activity of its various funds and that all disclosures
necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the County's financial affairs have
been included. This report was prepared in conformity willl generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed
certified public accountants, and is in compliance with V.T.CA, Local Government Code Section 1 1 4 . 025.

The County's financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information have been audited by Harrison, Waldrop and U herek, L.L. P . , a firm of licensed certified public
accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements of the County, for the year ended December 3 1 , 2006, are free of material misstatement. The
independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor
concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion
that the County's financial statements for the year ended December 3 1 , 2006, are fairly presented in
conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.

The CAFR was prepared in accordance with the Government Accounting Standards Board Statement
Number 34, and is presented in the following four sections: 1 ) The Introductory Section includes this
transmittal letter, the government's organizational chart and a directory of principal officials. 2) The
Financial Section is composed of the independent auditor's opinion, management's discussion and
analysis, the basic financial statements (including notes), required supplementary information and the
combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules. 3) The Statistical Section provides
various financial, economic and demographic data about the County generally presented on a multi-year
basis. 4) The Single Audit Section contains the independent auditor's reports on the internal control
structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, along with the schedule of expenditures of
federal and state awards.

The independent audit of the financial statements of the County was part of a broader, federally mandated
"Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing
Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the
financial statements, but also on the audited government's internal controls and compliance with legal
requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the
administration of federal awards.

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany
the basic financial statements in the form of management's discussion and analysis (MD&A). This letter
of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The
County's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

PROFILE OF VICTORIA COUNTY

The County is located in southeastern Texas on the Coastal plain about midway between the southern
and eastern extremities of the Texas Gulf Coast. The County was created in 1 836 from a Mexican
municipality named for Mexican President Guadalupe Victoria. The County encompasses an area of 892
square miles and serves a population of 85,648.

The County is a public corporation and political subdivision of the State of Texas. The general governing
body of the County is the elected five-member Commissioners' Court in accordance with Article 5,
Paragraph 1 8 of the Texas Constitution. Commissioners serve four-year staggered terms, two members
elected every two years. The County Judge is elected at large to serve a four-year term.

The Commissioners' Court sets the tax rates, establishes polices for County operations, approves
contracts for the County and develops and adopts the County budget. The Commissioners' Court is also
responsible for development of poliCies and orders, approving financial commitments and appointment of
various department heads. The management and leadership provided by members of the
Commissioners' Court and the elected and appointed officials of other key County offices is crucial to the
success of the County in financial management and growth.

The County Auditor has responsibilities for prescribing the systems and procedures for handling the
finances of the County and "examining, auditing and approving" all disbursements from County funds prior
to their submission to the Commissioners' Court for approval.

The County provides a full range of services. The County provides many services not ordinarily provided
by any other entity of government and provides additional services in cooperation with other local
governmental units. A primary service is the administration of justice, which includes the civil and criminal
county and district courts, justices of the peace, constables, district attorney, investigators, clerks of the
courts, sheriff, jail, security and emergency management and grand jury bailiffs. Other functions
performed by the County include the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, either
independently or in cooperation with other entities; administration of public health services; assistance to
indigents; and the provision of juvenile, health, education and welfare services involving the care and
correction of dependent or delinquent children as well as property tax collections for multiple agencies.

The annual budget serves as the foundation for the County's financial planning and control. Budget
hearings are posted annually in July and August by the County Judge, with the final budget approved by
the Commissioners' Court following the hearings. The final budget includes contingency line items. Most
appropriated budgets are prepared by fund, department and category. The level of budgetary control (the
level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the line-item
level within an individual fund. The original budget may be amended by Commissioners' Court under
conditions prescribed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 1 1 1 .0 1 0. Budget-to-actual comparisons
are provided in this report for each governmental fund for which an appropriated budget has been
adopted.

County of Victoria

In developing and evaluating the County's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or
d isposition, and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived, and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the County's internal
accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording
of financial transactions.

Various potential component units were evaluated to determine whether they should be included in the
County's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and financial relationship with the
County. Based upon standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (see Note
1 to the financial statements), three component units have been included in this year's report: the Victoria
County Navigation District, the Victoria County Child Welfare Board, and Citizens Medical Center. These
entities are discretely presented and are not considered part of the primary government of the County.
This reporting method was used because, while the entities are financially accountable to the County, they
do not have substantively the same governing body as the County nor do they provide services exclusively
to the County.

FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION

The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the County of Victoria operates.

Local Economy The County is one of the leading regional economies in the seven-county Golden
-

Crescent region. The County has developed into a primary business center with growth in services and
retail employment. The County's principal economic activities include petrochemical and industrial
chemical plants, plastics manufacturers, heavy steel fabrication, pre-stressed concrete, oil and gas
exploration, medical services, professional and financial services, retail trade, and higher education.
Although the oil and gas petrochemical industries remain a vital component of the area employment base,
diversification within these industries into production of ancillary goods and plastics has reduced economic
vulnerability to energy price fluctuations.

The County records reflect modest debt levels, rapid principal amortization, and acceptable reserve levels
that have benefited from sound fiscal management practices. The County practices conservative
budgeting and sets general fund reserve targets at 8% to 10% of annual expenditures. In the past fiscal
year the County incurred a significant increase in the general fund unreserved fund balance as a result of
additional revenues and reducing general fund expenditures. The County's General Fund reserve target is
based on the County's policy of deferring ad valorem property taxes. The resulting unreserved fund
balance does not include $3.2 million in ad valorem taxes collected in October, November and December
of 2006, and are instead reported as deferred revenues.

Long-Term Financial Planning The County of Victoria has identified several long-term issues that need
-

to be prioritized and funded by the Commissioner's Court. These priorities include upgrading software for
all courts, the Sheriff and the Tax Assessor/Collector office, adding an additional courtroom for the
increasing case load of jury trials and resolving inadequate parking around the Courthouse complex. The
County Airport has identified many aging buildings that also need to be demolished. The Airport Traffic
Control Tower is in the process of being refurbished and plans are to bring it into service in 2007, which
has gained the County Airport the award of a Government fueling contract.

Cas h Management The Commissioners' Court has adopted a formal investment policy for the County
-

consistent with State statutes governing the investment of County funds and has designated the County

iii
Honorable District Judges June 1 9, 2007
Honorable County Judge
Honorable County Commissioners
County of Victoria

Treasurer as the County's investment officer. The policy is updated annually. The general objectives set
forth in the policy provide for financial security and optimum liquidity of County funds while achieving the
maximum yield on funds invested and maximum levels of invested funds. Authorized investments are
consistent with those investments authorized by State law for Texas counties. Generally, the County has
limited its investments to various U.S. Government obligations and mortgage-backed instruments.

Risk Management The County has risk exposure in various areas including general liability, worker's
-

compensation, automobile liability, and property damage. To reduce its risk exposure in these areas, the
County purchases commercial insurance policies from a private carrier. The related policies carry various
deductibles and aggregate maximum loss totals.

The County is also exposed to risk of loss in the area of employee health coverage. In this area, the
County bears all risk of loss up to $85,000 per participant per year. Co-insurance through a private
insurance carrier assumes all risk for individual participants past that level. Please refer to the notes to
the financial statements for a complete discussion of the County's employee health insurance operations.

Pension And Other Post Employment Benefits The County provides retirement, disability and death
-

benefits for all of its full-time employees through a nontraditional defined benefit pension plan in the
statewide Texas County and District Retirement System (TCDRS). Specific plan provisions are adopted
by the County within the options available in the state statutes governing the TCDRS. Benefits amounts
are determined by the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest and employer­
financed monetary credits. The level of these monetary credits is adopted within the constraints imposed
by the TCDRS Act so that the resulting benefits can be expected to be adequately financed.

AWARDS AND ACK NOWLEDGEMENTS

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to Victoria County, Texas, for its comprehensive annual financial report
(CAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 3 1 , 2005. This was the thirteenth consecutive year that the
government has received this prestigious award. I n order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the
government published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both GAAP
and applicable legal reqUirements.

A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

The preparation of the CAFR could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated efforts
of the staff of the County Auditor's Office. We express our appreciation to all the members of the office
who assisted in and contributed to its preparation. We would also like to thank the accounting firm of
Harrison, Waldrop & Uherek, L.L.P. for sharing their knowledge, and extending their cooperation and
support to the County Auditor's Office. Appreciation must also be expressed to the County Judge,
mem bers of the Commissioners' Court, the County Treasurer and all other officials of the County for their
assistance in planning and conducting the financial operations of the County in a progressive and
responsible manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Honorable County Judge and Members


of the Commissioners' Court
County of Victoria, Texas

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governrnental activities, the business-type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of County of Victoria, Texas (the "County") as of and for the year ended
December 3 1 , 2006, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements as listed in the table
of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the County's management Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the
financial statements of the Citizens Medical Center, which statements reflect total assets of $179,387,197 as
of June 30, 2006, and total revenues of $129,872,874 for the year then ended. We also did not audit the
financial statements of the Victoria County Child Welfare Board, which statements reflect total assets of
$ 1 3 1 ,729 as of December 3 1 , 2006, and total revenues of $75,376 for the year then ended. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinions on the
financial statements, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Citizens Medical Center and the
Victoria County Child Welfare Board in the component units' column, is based solely on the reports of the
other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards and standards generally accepted in the
United States of America applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing 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 basic financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The financial statements of the Citizens Medical Center and the Victoria County Child Welfare
Board were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the reports of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the County as of December 3 1 , 2006, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 1 2
and 71 through 72, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We
have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding
the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we
did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

MEMBERS OF
AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIfiED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TEXAS SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Honorable County Judge and Members
of the Commissioners' Court
County of Victoria, Texas

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 1 9, 2007, on
our consideration of the County's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. 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 internal control over financial reporting or
on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the County's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual major
and non major fund financial statements and schedules, statistical data, and schedule of expenditures of
federal and state awards (as required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-1 33, Auditing
of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations) are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual major
and non major fund financial statements and schedules and the schedule of expenditures of federal and state
awards have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole. The introductory section and statistical data have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them .

COUNTY OF VICTORIA, TEXAS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAL YSIS
December 31, 2006

The discussion and analysis of the County of Victoria's (the "County") financial performance provides an overview
of the County's financial activities for the year ended December 3 1 , 2006. The discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter, the basic financial statements and the accompanying
notes to those financial statements. The discussion and analysis includes comparative data for the prior year.

FINAN CIAL HIGHLIGHTS


• The assets of the County exceeded its liabilities at the close of the year ended December 3 1 , 2006 by
$ 37,987,617. Of this amount $ 1 3,802,412 is available to meet the County's ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
• At December 3 1 , 2006, the County's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$ 14,368,752. The amount available for governmental discretion (unreserved fund balance) is
$ 1 3, 576, 931 .
• At December 3 1 , 2006, unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $ 1 1 ,273,877 or 44.55% of
total General Fund expenditures.
• The County's general obligation debt netted a decrease of $ 1 ,265,000. The key factor in this decrease
was debt payments made during 2006.
• The County's capital leases netted an increase of 35.89%. The key factor in this increase was new
leases entered into by the County that totaled $ 1 ,493,422.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The new financial reporting model instituted by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 seeks
to improve operational accountability by highlighting an overall picture that was lost in the detail of fund
accounting. Instead of focusing on aggregations of similar individual funds, GASB 34 introduced government­
wide financial statements, which present the government as a single unified entity.

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the County's basic financial statements. The
County's basic financial statements are comprised of four components: 1) government-wide financial statements,
2) fund financial statements, 3) component unit financial statements, and 4) notes to financial statements. This
report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINAN CIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Gover n ment-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements, which consist of the
following two statements, are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the County's finances, in a
manner similar to a private-sector business.

The statement of net assets presents information on all of the County's assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the County is improving or deteriorating.

The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during 2006.
All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for
some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but
unused vacation leave).

Both of these financial statements distinguish functions of the County that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their cost through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental
activities of the County include general government, public safety, highways and streets, culture and recreation,
and public health. The business-type activities of the County include the airport, Navarro project, and other
(commissary).

The government-wide financial statements include not only the County itself (known as the primary government)
but also the component units of Victoria County Navigation District, Victoria County Child Welfare Board, and
Citizens Medical Center. These component units are not included as part of the primary government.

The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 1 3- 1 6 of this report.

Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The County, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the County can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary
funds, and fiduciary funds.

G overnmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources, as well as a balance of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance
sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The County maintains several individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances for the General Fund, which is considered a major fund. Data from the other
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these
nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining and individual statements and schedules
following the required supplementary information.

4
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) -

The County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, road and bridge special revenue funds
and debt service funds, A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the General Fund to
demonstrate compliance with this budget and is located on pages 1 00-107 of this report, Budget comparisons
are presented for the road and bridge special revenue funds and the debt service funds on pages 1 08 -1 1 5 of this
report,

The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 1 7-20 of this report,

Proprietary funds, The County maintains two different types of proprietary funds, Enterprise funds are used to
report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements, The
County uses enterprise funds to account for its airport, Navarro project, and other enterprise activities
(commissary), Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate cost internally
among the County's various functions, The County uses an internal service fund to account for its employee
health insurance services, Because this service predominantly benefits governmental rather than business-type
functions, it has been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements,

Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more
detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the airport and for the Navarro
project, both of which are considered to be major funds of the County, and other (commissary),

The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 21-24 of this report,

Fiduciary funds, Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources
of those funds are not available to support the County's own programs, The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
similar to proprietary funds,

The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 25-26 of this report,

N otes to financial statements, The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding
of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements, The notes to financial statements can
be found on pages 30-70 of this report,

Other information, In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information concerning the County's General Fund's budgetary
comparison schedule, Required supplementary information can be found on pages 71-72 of this report,

The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and nonmajor
enterprise funds is presented immediately following the required supplementary information, Combining and
individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 73-1 1 9 of this report,

The largest portion of the County's net assets (61 . 79%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land,
buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is
still outstanding. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets
are not available for future spending. Although the County's investment in its capital assets is reported net of
related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other
sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

The County has restricted net assets of $71 3,370, which represent resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets ($13,802,412) may be
used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

At the end of the current year, the County is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets,
both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS - (Con tin u ed)

Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the County's net assets by $3,734,099, thereby
accounting for 82.96% of the total growth in the net assets of the County. Key elements of this increase are as
follows:
• Sales tax revenue increased 1 9 . 1 1 % or $ 1 , 1 47,898 during the year. This increase was due to an
increase in the revenue base.
• Property taxes increased by $457,458 in comparison with 2005. This increase was attributable to the
increase in taxable assessed valuations of the County on the 2005 tax roll.
• Investment earnings for the County increased 75.66% or $443,224 due to an increase in the interest rate
earned on deposits at the County's depository bank.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FUNDS

As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements.

Gover nmental funds. The focus of the County's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the County's
financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

As of the end of the current year, the County's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$14,368,752, an increase of $2,824,429 in comparison with the prior year. Of the total fund balance, $1 3,576,931
constitutes unreserved fund balance and is available for spending at the County's discretion. The remainder of
fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been
committed 1 ) to pay debt service ($1 26,807), and 2) for a variety of other restricted purposes ($665,014).

General Fund. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the County. At the end of the current year,
unreserved fund balance of the General Fund was $ 1 1 ,273,877, while total fund balance reached $ 1 1 ,938,89 1 .
As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total
fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 44.55% of total General Fund
expenditures, while total fund balance represents 47. 1 8% of that same amount.

The fund balance of the County's General Fund increased by $3, 4 1 2, 538 during the current year, this increase is
due to certain revenues coming in higher than expected and expenditures coming in lower than expected.

Proprietary Funds. The County's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found · in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.

Unrestricted net assets of proprietary funds at the end of the year amounted to:
2006 2005

Airport $ 1 1 ,028 $ 275,264

Commissary 61 ,363 80,009
Total $ ( 1 27,521) $ ( 1 5 ,726)

Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have been addressed in the discussion of the County's
business-type activities.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS

Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget were relatively minor, resulting in an
increase of $3,327,503 and can be briefly summarized as follows:
• $ 1 ,889,473 in miscellaneous increases in general governmental activities, due to increases in utility costs,
additional capital outlay projects and increases in personnel.
• $628,278 in miscellaneous increases in public safety activities, due to vehicle purchases and jail repairs
and maintenance
• $ 1 1 ,595 in miscellaneous increases in culture and recreation activities, due to relocation of the office.
• $641,222 in miscellaneous increases in public health activities and transfers out, due to increases in
operating expenses.
• $ 1 56,935 in miscellaneous increases in capital outlay.

10
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS - (Continued)
Of this increase, $491,723 was to be funded out of miscellaneous increases in tax revenues, intergovernmental
revenues, contributions and other miscellaneous revenues, The remaining $2,835,780 was to be funded from an
excess of revenues in the original budget.

Economic Factors and Next Year 's Budgets and Rates

The annual budget is developed to provide efficient, effective and controlled use of the County's resources, as
well as a means to accomplish the highest priority objectives. Through the budget, the Commissioners' Court sets
the direction of the County, allocates its resources and establishes its priorities.

The final 2007 budget was adopted by Commissioners' Court on September 1 8, 2006. The budget included cost
of living salary increases of 4%, 1 5 new positions, and 7 new vehicles for the Sheriff's department. The property
tax rate was set at $0.3986 (39.86 cents) per $ 1 00 assessed taxable valuation, which reflects no change from the
2006 tax rate. This tax rate is $0.0232 or 6 . 1 8% over the County's effective tax rate and the taxable valuation
increased by $257,634,258. Therefore, an increase in property tax revenues is expected for the 2007 year.

COUNTY OF V ICTORIA, TEXAS
RECONCILIA T/ON OF TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE TO NET ASSETS
OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
December 31, 2006

Total governmental fund balances $ 1 4,368,752


Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are
different because;

The internal service fund is used by the County to charge the cost of health
insurance to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service fund
is included in governmental activities in the statement of net assets. (334,394)

Property taxes receivable will be collected this year, but are not available soon
enough to pay for the current period's expenditures, and therefore are deferred in
the funds. 1 , 397,917

Because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing, some assets


will not be available to pay for current-period expenditures. Those assets (for
example, receivables) are offset by deferred revenues in the governmental funds
and thus are not included in fund balance. 1 ,860,900

Capital assets used in governmental activities are reported as expenditures in


governmental funds when purchased or constructed. The cost of these assets is
$44,885,853 and the accumulated depreciation is $20,870,771 . 24,01 5,082

Other noncurrent assets (for example, bond issue costs) used in governmental
activities are not financial resources and therefore are not reported in
governmental funds. The cost of these assets is $ 1 62,872 and the accumulated
amortization is $88,299. 74,573

Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore
are not reported as liabilities in the funds. Long-term liabilities at year-end consist
of:

Bonds payable $ ( 9,065,000)


Capital leases payable (2,623,678)
Rebatable arbitrage earnings (3,867)
Accrued interest on the bonds (1 29,995)
Compensated absences (986,005) (1 2,808,545)

Net assets of governmental activities $ 28,574,285

COUNTY OF VICTORIA, TEXAS
RECONCILfA TlON OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STA TEMENT OF REVENUES,
EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STA TEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the year ended December 31, 2006

Total net change i n fund balances - gover nmental funds $ 2,824,429


Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
The internal service fund is used by the County to charge the costs of health
insurance to individual funds. The net loss of the internal service fund is reported
with governmental activities. (75,1 46)
The net effect of various transactions involving capital assets (I.e., sales and
trade-ins) is to decrease net assets. (18,743)

Current year capital outlays are expenditures in the fund financial statements, but
they should be shown as increases in capital assets in the government-wide
financial statements. The net effect of removing the 2006 capital outlays is to
increase net assets. 1 ,780,677

Depreciation is not recognized as an expense on the governmental funds since it


does not require the use of current financial resources. The net effect of the
current year's depreciation is to decrease net assets. ( 1 , 679,613)
Capital lease proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds;
however, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net
assets. ( 1 , 493,422)

Current year payments on long-term debt are expenditures in the fund financial
statements, but they serve to reduce long-term liabilities in the government-wide
financial statements. In the current year, these amounts consist of:
Bond principal retirement $ 1 ,265,000
Capital lease principal retirement 800,534 2,065,534

Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the
County's fiscal year ends, they are not considered "available" revenues and are
deferred in the governmental funds. Similarly, other revenues are not currently
available at year end and are not reported as revenue in the governmental funds.
Property taxes (41 ,867)
Other revenues 308,608 266,741

Some items reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. These activities consist of:
Decrease in compensated absences 76,594
Decrease in accrued interest 1 5,386
Decrease in issuance costs (28,338) 63,642

Change in net assets of gover nmental activities $ 3,734,099

COU NTY OF VICTORIA, TEXAS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS
December 31, 2006

NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGN I FICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The County of Victoria, Texas (the "County") is a political subdivision of the State of Texas. The County is
governed by the Commissioners' Court, composed of four (4) County Commissioners and the County Judge,
all of whom are elected officials.

A. Reporting Entity

In evaluating how to define the government, for financial reporting purposes, the County's management
has considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in the
reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, and as amended by GASB Statement
No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units. Under these g uidelines, the
reporting entity consists of the primary government (all funds of the County), organizations for which the
primary government is financially accountable, organizations for which the primary government is not
financially accountable, organizations that raise and hold economic resources for the direct benefit of
the primary government, and any other organization for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the primary government is such that exclusion could cause the County's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. Entities other than the primary government that are
included in the primary government's financial statements are called component units. The component
units discussed in this note are included in the County's financial statements because of the
significance of their financial relationships with the County and the County's ability to impose its will on
the organizations.

Component U nits

The component units column in the financial statements includes the financial data of the County's
three component units. They are reported in a separate column to emphasize that they are legally
separate from the County.

Victoria County Navigation District - Established to oversee and regulate the maintenance and
operations of the Victoria Barge Canal. The District is governed by a Board of Commissioners, each
member of which is appointed by the Comm issioners' Court of the County. The Commissioners' Court
of Victoria also reviews and approves its annual budget. This entity is considered a Governmental
Fund Type for the County's reporting purposes and uses the same fiscal year as the County.

Victoria County Child Welfare Board - Established to provide various child protective services to
residents of the County. The Comm issioners' Court of the County appoints each member of the entity's
board of directors and reviews and approves its annual budget. The programs of the Board are jointly
financed by the County and the State of Texas. This entity is considered a Governmental Fund Type
for the County's reporting purposes and uses the same fiscal year as the County.

Citizens Medical Center - A 36B-bed acute care hospital owned by the County and established to
provide medical services to the residents of the County and surrounding areas. The Medical Center is
governed by a board of directors, each member of which is appointed by the Commissioners' Court of
the County. This Court also reviews and approves the annual operating budget of the Medical Center.
Citizens Medical Center operates on a fiscal year ending June 30 of each year. The amounts reported
for the Medical Center in the financial statements are as of June 30, 2006. The Medical Center is
reported as a Proprietary Fund Type in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 1 : SUMMARY O F SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

A. Reporting Entity - (Continued)

Complete financial statements for each of the above noted component units may be obtained by
contacting their respective administrative offices at the following addresses:

Victoria County Navigation District


1 1 5 North Bridge, Room 241
Victoria, Texas 77901

Victoria County Child Welfare Board


1 502 E. Airline Road
Victoria, Texas 77901

Citizens Medical Center


2701 Hospital Drive
Victoria, Texas 77901

B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
changes in net assets) report information on all nonfiduciary activities of the County and its component
units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes, and intergovernmental revenues are
reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges
for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from its legally separate
component units.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment 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 or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, discretely
presented component units, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the
government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual
enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial
statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in
the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

32
NOTE 1 : SUMMARY O F SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation - (Continued)

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon
as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
The County considers property taxes as available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. A
1 20 day availability period is used for recognition of all other Governmental Fund revenues.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, except for interest payable accrued at the debt issuance date for
which cash is received with the debt proceeds, as well as expenditures related to com pensated
absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

The revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, fines, licenses, charges for services, interest
income and intergovernmental revenues. Sales taxes collected and held by the state and other third
parties at year-end on behalf of the County are also recognized as revenue. All other revenue items
are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the County.

The 2006 tax levy is dedicated to pay for expenditures of the 2007 budget. The entire 2006 tax levy
has been recorded as deferred revenue as of December 31 , 2006.

The County reports the following major governmental fund:

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

The County reports the following major proprietary funds:

Enterprise Funds are 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.

The Airport Fund, an enterprise fund, accounts for the operations of and improvements to the
County Airport.

The Navarro Project Fund, an enterprise fund, accounts for the operation of a large office
complex which was purchased and renovated by the County for the primary use of the County
Health Department. The building is also currently leasing space to other entities unrelated to the
County.

Additionally, the Cou nty reports the following funds:

The Internal Service Fund accounts for the financing of goods or services provided by one
department or agency to other departments or agencies of the County, or to other governments,
on a cost-reimbursement basis. The County maintains one Internal Service Fund: Employee
Health Insurance Fund.

33
NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGN IFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES · (Continued)

C, Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation - (Continued)

The Private Purpose Trust Fund, or the Flexible Benefits Plan, is used to account for amounts
withheld from employee paychecks before FICA and withholding taxes are computed, All
resources of the fund, including any earnings on invested resources, may be used to benefit
parties outside the County, All the above is according to the plan document. The fund is
excluded from the government-wide financial statements,

The Agency Funds account for resources held by the Cou nty as an agent for various
governments and individuals, These resources include ad valorem taxes collected and to be
distributed to other local governments, pass-through grants, various fines and fees to be
distributed to other governments , etc, The funds are excluded from the government-wide
financial statements,

The Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditures for specified purposes,

The Debt Service Funds account for financial resources accumulated and payments made for
principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds,

The Capital Project Fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities i.e, improvements to various County highways (other than
those financed by proprietary funds and trust funds),

Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1 , 1 989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the
extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of GASB, Governments also
have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and
enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation, The County has elected not to follow subsequent
private-sector guidance,

As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements, Exceptions to this general rule are charges between various functions of the County,
Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned,

Amounts reported as program revenues include 1 ) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments, Internally dedicated resources are reported as general
revenues rather than as program revenues, Likewise, general revenues include all taxes,

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items, Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations, The principal operating revenues of
the County's enterprise funds and internal service fund are charges to customers for sales and
services, Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales
and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets, All revenues and expenses
not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses,

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the County's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed,

N OTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGN IFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
D. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting

The County Judge is, by statute, the budget officer of the County. After being furnished budget guidelines
by the County Judge and Commissioners' Court, the County Auditor prepares an estimate of revenues
and a compilation of requested departmental expenditures. Department officials appear before the
County Judge and the County Auditor for departmental budget review. A proposed budget is prepared by
the County Auditor, then submitted to the Commissioners' Court. Before determining the final budget, the
Commissioners' Court may increase or decrease the amounts requested by the various departments.
Amounts finally budgeted may not exceed the County Auditor's estimate of revenues and estimated cash
balance at January 1 of the budgeted year.

Budgets are adopted for the General Fund, some of the Special Revenue Funds and Debt Service Funds by
the first regular session of the Commissioners' Court in September. All budgets adopted by the County are
on the cash basis of accounting rather than in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). Under the budgetary basis, revenues are recognized as collected and expenditures when paid.

When the budget has been adopted by the Commissioners' Court, the County Auditor is responsible for
monitoring expenditures to keep them from exceeding budgeted appropriations and for keeping the
mem bers of the Commissioners' Court advised of the condition of the various funds and accounts. The
level of control (the level on which expenditures may not exceed appropriations) for each legally adopted
annual operating budget is on a line-item basis. Any amendments above the line-item level must have the
approval of the Commissioners' Court before implementation. The line-item level of control is defined by
the basic categories of salaries, fringe benefits, operating expenditures, other services and charges,
capital outlay, and debt service.

Budget revenue amendments made during the year in the County's governmental funds netted an
increase of $2,456,945. Budget expenditure amendments in these funds netted an increase of
$4,690,588.
Encum brance 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
employed by the County as an extension of formal budgetary integration. Encumbrances outstanding at
year-end are not reported as reservations of fund balances. All encumbered appropriations lapse at the
end of the fiscal year. Encumbered appropriations are reappropriated in the ensuing year's budget.
E. Deposits and Investments

The County's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short­
term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments
for the County are reported at fair value.
The County may invest its excess funds in any instruments authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act
of Texas. Investments authorized under this Act include, but are not limited to, the following: Obligations
of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; d irect obligations of the State of Texas or its
agencies and instrumentalities; collateralized mortgage obligations directly issued by a federal agency or
instrumentality of the United States, the underlying security for which is guaranteed by an agency or
instrumentality of the U nited States; other obligations, the principal and interest of which are
unconditionally guaranteed or insured by, or backed by the full faith and credit of, the State of Texas or the
United States or their respective agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit issued by a state or
financial institution domiciled in the State of Texas which is guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or
otherwise secured; and certain repurchase agreements.
The Commissioners' Court has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of its funds
as defined by the Public Funds Investment Act of 1 995. The investments of the County are in compliance
with the Commissioners' Court's investment policies.

35
NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

F. Restricted assets

Unspent capital lease proceeds in the County's General Fund are classified as restricted assets on the
balance sheet because they are restricted for the purchase of additional computer equipment and
software for various County departments. The monies are held in escrow by the Bank of New York.

G. Receivables and Payables

Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund
loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds". Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the
government-wide financial statements as "internal balances." Advances between funds, as reported in
the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental
funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial
resources.

All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.

H. Inventory and Prepaid Items

Inventories of supplies held by the Airport Fund, an enterprise fund, are valued at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market. Estimated cost is used when actual cost figures are not available.

Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods. These payments are
reported as deferred expenditures (governmental funds) or prepaid expenses (proprietary funds) in the
fund financial statements and as deferred expenditures/expenses in the government-wide statements.

I. Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities
columns in the government-wide statement of net assets. The County defines capital assets, other
than infrastructure assets, as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an
estimated useful life in excess of one year. The County reports infrastructure assets on a system basis.
Accordingly, the amounts spent for the construction or acquisition of infrastructure assets are
capitalized and reported regardless of their amount. In the case of the initial capitalization of general
infrastructure assets, the County chose to include all such items acquired on or after January 1 , 2003.
The County will report infrastructure assets acquired prior to January 1 , 2003 beginning in year ending
Decem ber 3 1 , 2007.

As the County constructs or acquires capital assets each period, they are capitalized and reported at
historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of
donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements
are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital
assets of business-type activities is capitalized when acquired with tax-exempt debt. The amount of
interest to be capitalized is calculated by offsetting interest expense incurred during the period of
construction until completion of the project with interest earned on invested proceeds over the same
period.

36
NOTE 1 : SUMMARY O F SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES · (Continued)

I. Capital Assets - (Continued)

Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government is depreciated using the straight line method
over the following estimated useful lives:

Assets Years
Buildings 1 0-50
Improvements other than buildings 1 0-50
Infrastructure 40
Machinery and equipment 5-1 5
Office equipment and fixtures 5-10

J. Compensated Absences

Vacation benefits are accrued by County employees according to guidelines set in the County's personnel
policy. This policy states that after completion of one year of service, each employee will thereafter
accrue vacation according to the number of years of continuous service. Upon termination of
employment, if the employee has completed one year of service, he or she will be paid for accrued but
unused vacation leave. The payment of unused vacation may not exceed 80 hours. All vacation is
accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for
these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of
employee resignations and retirements.

Employees are credited with sick leave according to the number of years of continuous service. Sick days
may be accumulated up to a maximum of 60 working days (480 hours). County personnel policies state
that unused sick leave benefits will not be paid to employees upon termination, therefore, no sick leave
benefits are accrued.

K. Long-Term Obligations

In the government-wide financial statements, and in proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond
premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium
or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the
related debt.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as
other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources
while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

L. Fund Equity

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts
that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific
purpose. DeSignations of fund balance, if any, represent tentative management plans that are subject
to change.

37
NOTE 1 : SUMMARY O F SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

M. Restricted Net Assets

Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the
enabling legislations adopted by the County or through external restrictions by creditors, grantors or
laws or regulations of other governments.

N. U s e of Estimates

The preparation of the government-wide and fund financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the County to make estimates and assessments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting
period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

A. Deficit Fund Equity

As of December 31 , 2006, the following funds had deficit equity balances:


Fund Balance/
Fund Net Assets
Nonmajor Governmental Funds
Special Revenue Funds
Health Department $ 56,194
Internal Service Fund
Employee Health Insurance 334,394
Steps will be taken to eliminate these deficits in the upcoming fiscal year.

B. Budgetary Compliance

Budgetary compliance is monitored at the line-item level in all budgeted governmental funds. For the year
ended December 31 , 2006, the County over-expended appropriations at the following line-item levels:
Department/Fund Amount
General Fund
County court at law #1
Fringe benefits $ 72
County court at law #2
Salaries 473
Fringe benefits 284
Justice of the peace #4
Salaries 55
Election administrator
Salaries 1 ,230
County treasurer
Fringe benefits 549

38
NOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS

As of December 31 , 2006, the County had the following investments:


Weighted Average
Investment Type Fair Value Maturity (Months)
U,S, Government Securities $ 1 39, 1 35 55
Money Market Funds 91 2,322 N/A
Total $ 1 ,051 .457

Interest Rate Risk

In accordance with the County's investment policy, the County manages its exposure to declines in fair values
by limiting the weighted average maturity of its investment portfolio for investments to less than five years from
the time of purchase, Specifically, investments of operating funds must have stated final maturities of three
years or less and investments in capital project funds must have stated final maturities that do not exceed the
expected completion date of the project for which the bonds were sold, The money market funds are
redeemable in full immediately and therefore do not have a stated weighted average maturity,

Credit Risk

It is the County's policy to limit its investments to those with ratings of not less than A or its equivalent. The
County's investments in the U,S, Government Securities had AAA ratings from both Standard & Poor's and
Moody and Fitch,

Concentration of Credit Risk

The County's investment policy requires that the investment portfolio shall bEl diversified in terms of
investment instruments, maturity scheduling, and financial institutions to reduce the risk of loss resulting from
over concentration of assets in a specific class of investments, specific maturity or specific user, At year-end,
the County was not exposed to concentration of credit risk,

Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits

In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the County's deposits may not be
returned to it. The County's investment policy requires that deposits at financial institutions be insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and/or collateralized by securities pledged to the County by the
depository in an amount equal to at least 1 1 0% of the carrying value of deposits held, As of
December 31 , 2006, $20,717,135 of the County's bank balance of $23,095,948 was exposed to custodial credit
risk because it was uninsured and collateralized with securities held by the County's depository,

Custodial Credit Risk - Investments

For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the County will not be
able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party, The County's investment policy requires that securities be held in the name of the County or held on
behalf of the County and that all securities are purchased using the delivery versus payment method, As of
December 31 , 2006, and for the year then ended, the County was not exposed to any custodial credit risk,

Please see Notes 20, 21 and 22 for discussions relative to the cash deposits of the County's three component
units,

The only receivables not expected to be collected within one year are $382,154 of fines receivable reported in
the General Fund.

NOTE 8: EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN

The County provides retirement, disability, and death benefits for all of its full-time employees through a
nontraditional defined benefit pension plan in the statewide Texas County and District Retirement System
(TCDRS). The Board of Trustees of TCDRS is responsible for the administration of the statewide agent
m ultiple-employer public employee retirement system consisting of 559 nontraditional defined benefit pension
plans. TCDRS in the aggregate issues a comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) on a calendar year
basis. The CAFR is available upon written request from the TCDRS Board of Trustees at P. O. Box 2034,
Austin , Texas 78768-2034.

The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the em ployer, within the options available in the
Texas state statutes governing TCDRS (TCDRS Act). Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 8 or
more years of service, with 20 years of service regardless of age, or when the sum of their age and years of
service equals 75 or more. Members are vested after 8 years of service but must leave their accumulated
contributions in the plan to receive any employer-financed benefit. Mem bers can withdraw contributions in a
lump sum via partial payments, however, these mem bers are not entitled to any amounts contributed by their
employer.

Benefit amounts are determined by the sum of the em ployee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and
employer-financed monetary credits. The level of these monetary credits is adopted by the governing body of
the employer within the actuarial constraints im posed by the TCDRS Act so that the resulting benefits can be
expected to be adequately financed by the employer's commitment to contribute. At retirement, death, or
disability, the benefit is calculated by converting the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions and the
em ployer-financed monetary credits to a monthly annuity using annuity purchase rates prescribed by the
TCDRS Act.

A. Funding Policy

The employer has elected the annually determined contribution rate (Variable-Rate) plan provisions of the
TCDRS Act. The plan is funded by monthly contributions from both employee members and the employer
based on the covered payroll of em ployee members. Under the TCDRS Act, the contribution rate of the
em ployer is actuarially determined annually. It was 1 0.81% for calendar year 2006. The deposit rate
payable by the em ployee members is the rate of 7.00% as adopted by the governing body of the
employer. The employee deposit rate and the employer contribution rate may be changed by the
governing body of the employer within the options available in the TCDRS Act.

B. Annual Pension Cost

For the employer's accounting year ending December 31, 2006, the annual pension cost for the TCDRS
plan for its employees was $2,049,854 and the actual contributions were $2,049,854.

The annual required contributions were actuarially determined as a percent of the covered payroll of the
partiCipating employees, and were in compliance with GASB Statement No. 27 parameters based on the
actuarial valuation as of December 31 , 2005, the basis for determining the contribution rate for calendar
year 2006. The December 31 , 2005 actuarial valuation is the most recent valuation.

NOTE 9: OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

I n addition to providing pension benefits, the County provides its retirees with post employment health care
benefits. In order for a County employee to be eligible for this benefit, their age combined with their years of
service must equal seventy-five (75), or they must have attained the age of sixty (60) and with eight (8) years
of service, or they must have twenty (20) or more years of service with Victoria County and can retire at any
age with full benefits.

The County pays 50% of the premium cost for each retiree regardless of age provided they worked for
Victoria County for twenty (20) or more years. If the retiree worked less than twenty (20) years for Victoria
County the County will pay 40% of the premium cost. The County also pays 1 0% of the premium cost for
dependents who may be covered under the retiree's health insurance plan.

Other post employment benefits are expensed and funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The County recognizes
the cost of providing these benefits as a payroll expense/expenditure in an operating fund with corresponding
revenue in the Employee Health Insurance Fund. Payments for health insurance are shown as an expense in
the Employee Health Insurance Fund. The cost of providing these benefits for 54 and 50 retirees and active
employees for the years 2006 and 2005, respectively, is not separated. Total payments to the Employee
Health Insurance Fund by retirees were $ 1 47,390 in 2006 and $ 1 6 1 , 369 in 2005.

NOTE 1 0 : EMPLOYEES' HEALTH INSURANCE FUND

The County maintains a self-insurance internal service fund designed to pay comprehensive health benefits
incurred by its participants. The fund assumes all risk up to $85,000 of claims per participant annually; after
this a reinsurance policy pays any remaining claims for the remainder of the year up to $915,000 of claims per
participant. Premiums are charged to the individual funds based on a predetermined cost per em ployee and
dependent. These amounts are recorded as operating revenue in the internal service fund and as operating
expenditures/expenses in the respective funds. Any claims that have been incurred, but not reported, as of
the balance sheet date are shown as current liabilities in the internal service fund and have been charged as
an operating expense for that period. This amount was determined by the County's health plan administrator.
As of December 3 1 , 2006, the fund had estimated liabilities for outstanding claims of $283,050. There was a
deficit unrestricted net assets of $334,394 as of December 3 1 , 2006, a decrease of $75, 1 46 from 2005.

Below is a reconciliation of claims liabilities reported in the Employee's Health Insurance Fund for the years

participants and their beneficiaries.

NOTE 1 2 : RISK MANAGEMENT

C. Interfund Transfers

Each year various funds of the County transfer funds to other funds. The most significant of these are
the planned transfers from the County's General Fund to the Health Department Fund, a Special
Revenue Fund. These transfers are intended to provide the necessary resources to meet the operating
obligations of the receiving fund. During the current fiscal year, transfers between funds consisted of
the following:
Transfers In
Nonmajor Internal
Transfers Out General Governmental Airport Service Total

General $ $ 1 ,646,389 $ 1 30,000 $ 475,000 $ 2,25 1 , 389

$ 288,974 $ 1 ,687,320 $ 1 30,000 $ 475,000 $ 2,581 ,294

NOTE 16: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During fiscal year 2006, the County's General Fund entered into transactions with the Victoria County
Navigation District and the Victoria County Child Welfare Board, discretely presented component units of the
County, whereby the Navigation District contributed to the primary government a total of $8,400 for services
of the County and the County contributed to the Board $58,500 for operational purposes.

NOTE 1 7 : CONTINGENCIES

The County is exposed to the risk of contingent liabilities in the ordinary course of its operations. Specifically,
such risks arise as a result of the County's participation in various state and federal grant programs and as a
result of threatened and pending litigation. Disallowed costs could result if County expenditures made under its
grants programs are found to be improper in that they violate state or federal regulations. Such disallowed costs
would have to be paid back to the granting agency from the County's General Fund. The County is not aware of
any costs that have been disallowed in the current year and does not anticipate that any will be.

As of December 3 1 , 2006, the County was involved in various matters of litigation. It is the opinion of the
County's legal counsel that any exposure faced by the County as a result of these matters was minimal.
Furthermore, any losses incurred would in all probability be covered by liability insurance carried by the County.

Based on the above information, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect any accrual for contingent
liabilities as of the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 1 8: ADJUSTMENTS TO AND RESTATEMENTS OF BEGINNING BALANCES

A. Proprietary Fund Net Assets

The beginning net asset balance of the Airport Fund, a major enterprise fund, was adjusted for the
following: To capitalize assets not previously recorded in the amount of $233,210; to record accumulated
depreciation on capitalized assets not previously recorded in the amount of ($6,002); and to remove
capitalized assets incorrectly recorded in the amount of ($1 49,766). Management estimates that these
adjustments would have decreased the previously reported change in net assets of the Airport Fund by
$6,002 for the year ended December 3 1 , 2005.

50
NOTE 18: ADJUSTMENTS TO AND RESTATEMENTS OF BEGINNING BALANCES · (Continued)

December 3 1 , 2005 in the amount of ($1 24,725); and to record penalty and interest receivable on
outstanding property taxes in the amount of $255,739.

Net assets of the business-type activities were adjusted as described in A. above. Management
estimates that the changes described above to the governmental activities of the County would have
increased the previously reported change in net assets by $3,191 for the year ended December 3 1 ,
2005.

NOTE 1 9 : SUBSEQUENT EVENT

There were no events, which occurred subsequent to the fiscal year-end and prior to the issuance of this report,
which would have a material effect on the County's financial position as of December 31 , 2006.

NOTE 20: VICTORIA COUNTY NAVIGATION DISTRICT

As described in Note 1 , the Victoria County Navigation District is a component unit of the County. It is reported
in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate for accounting purposes from the County.
Following are note disclosures relating to this component unit.

A. Organization

Victoria County Navigation District (the "District") was created by a vote of the electorate of Victoria
County, Texas, at an election held on February 4, 1 947, under the provisions of Article 8263(h) VAT.S.
(now codified into Chapter 62, Texas Water Code). The Board of Navigation and the Canal
Commissioners (the "Board") is the level of government which has oversight responsibility and control
over all activities related to the District's activities in the County.

Board members are appointed by the Commissioners' Court of the County and have decision-making
authority, the power to designate management, the responsibility to significantly influence operations, and
primary accountability for fiscal matters including taxing authority.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the District conform to GAAP, as applicable to governmental
units. For inclusion in this report, the District's operations are reported in a single Governmental Fund
Type.

C. Deposits and Investments

Interest Rate Risk

In accordance with the District's investment policy, the District manages its exposure to declines in fair
values by limiting the weighted average maturity of its investment portfolio for investments to less than
five years from the time of purchase. Specifically, investments of operating funds must have stated
final maturities of three years or less and investments in capital project funds must have stated final
maturities that do not exceed the expected completion date of the project for which the bonds were
sold.

51
NOTE 20: VICTORIA COUNTY NAVIGATION DISTRICT - (Continued)

C. Deposits and Investments - (Continued)

Credit Risk

It is the District's policy to limit its investments to those with ratings of not less tllan A or its equivalent.
The District's investments in the U.S. Government Securities had AAA ratings from both Standard &
Poor's and Moody and Fitch.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The District's investment policy requires that the investment portfolio shall be diversified in terms of
investment instruments, maturity scheduling, and financial institutions to reduce the risk of loss resulting
from over concentration of assets in a specific class of investments, specific maturity or specific user.
At year-end, the District was not exposed to concentration of credit risk.

Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits

In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District's deposits may not
be returned to it. The District's investment policy requires that deposits at financial institutions be
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and/or collateralized by securities
pledged to the District by the depository in an amount equal to at least 1 1 0% of the carrying value of
deposits held. As of December 31 , 2006, $8,296,929 of the District's bank balance of $8,496,929 was
exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and collateralized with securities held by the
District's depository in other than the District's name.

Custodial Credit Risk - I nvestments

For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the District will not
be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an
outside party. The District's investment policy requires that securities be held in the name of the District
or held on behalf of the District and that all securities are purchased using the delivery versus payment
method. As of December 31 , 2006, and for the year then ended, the District was not exposed to any
custodial credit risk.

As described in Note 1 , Citizens Medical Center is a component unit of the County. It is reported in a separate
column to emphasize that it is legally separate for accounting purposes from the County. Following are note
disclosures relating to this component unit:

A. Organization

Citizens Medical Center (the "Medical Center") is a 368-bed acute care hospital that is a component unit
of the County of Victoria, Texas. The Medical Center is operated by a Board of Directors that is appointed
by the County Commissioners' Court. Its primary mission is to provide health care services to the citizens
of the County. The Medical Center primarily earns revenues by providing inpatient, outpatient, skilled
nursing, home health, and emergency care services to patients in the Victoria County and surrounding
areas. The financial statements of the Medical Center also include accounts of the Citizens Medical
Center Foundation (the "Foundation"). The Foundation was established to foster, support and
encourage the activities and purposes of the Medical Center, and to advance its objectives, including
sponsorship of, and assistance to, the Medical Center.

57
NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Continued)

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Medical Center have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting
using the economic resources measurement focus. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and
liabilities from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange transaction
takes place. Operating revenues and expenses include exchange transactions. Investment income
and interest on capital assets-related debt are included in nonoperating revenues and expenses. The
Medical Center first applies restricted net assets when an expense or outlay is incurred for purposes for
which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available.

The Medical Center prepares its financial statements as a business-type activity in conformity with
applicable pronouncements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Pursuant to
GASB Statement No. 20, the Medical Center has elected to apply the provisions of all relevant
pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that were issued on or before
November 30, 1 989, and do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted i n
the United States of America 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 date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Medical Center considers all liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less, to be
cash equivalents. At June 30, 2006, cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market mutual funds.

Risk Management

The Medical Center is exposed to various risks of loss from torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of
assets; business interruption; errors and omissions; employee injuries and illnesses; natural disasters;
em ployee disability; and employee health, dental and accident benefits. Commercial insurance
coverage is purchased for claims arising from such matters other than those related to general and
professional liability, employee health care benefits, and workers' compensation. Settled claims have
not exceeded this commercial insurance coverage in any of the three preceding years.

The Medical Center is self-insured for a portion of its exposure to risk of loss from general and
professional liability, em ployee health claims, and workers' compensation. Annual estimated provisions
are accrued for the self-insured portion of general and professional liability, employee health claims and
workers' compensation, and include an estimate of the ultimate costs for both reported claims and
claims incurred but not yet reported.

Investments in Debt Securities

Investments in debt securities are carried at fair value which is determined using quoted market prices.
Investment income includes dividend and interest income, realized gains and losses on investments
carried at other than fair value, and the net change for the year in the fair value of investments carried
at fair value.

58
NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Continued)

B. Sum mary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

Supplies

Supply inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out method, or
market.

Capital Assets

Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair value at the date of donation if
acquired by gift. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life
of each asset. Assets under capital lease obligations and leasehold im provements are depreciated
over the shorter of the lease term or their respective estimated useful lives.

The following estimated useful lives are being used by the Medical Center:

Land improvements 5 to 25 years


Buildings, building improvements and fixed equipment 3 to 50 years
Major movable equipment 3 to 25 years

Net Assets

Net assets of the Medical Center are classified in three components. Net assets invested in capital
assets, net of related debt, consist of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and reduced by
the current balances of any outstanding borrowings used to finance the purchase or construction of
those assets. Restricted expendable net assets are noncapital assets that must be used for a particular
purpose, as specified by creditors, grantors, or donors external to the Medical Center, including
amounts deposited with trustees as required by revenue bond indentures, reduced by the outstanding
balances of any related borrowings. Unrestricted net assets are remaining net assets less remaining
liabilities that do not meet the definition of invested in capital assets, net of related debt, or restricted
expendable.

Net Patient Service Revenue

The Medical Center has agreements with third-party payers that provide for payments to the Medical
Center at amounts different from its established rates. Net patient service revenue is reported at the
estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payers and others for services rendered and
includes estimated retroactive revenue adjustments and a provision for uncollectible accounts.
Retroactive adjustments are considered in the recognition of revenue accrued on an estimated basis in
the period the related services are rendered and such estimated amounts are revised in future periods
as adjustments become known.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt.
Such costs are being amortized over the term of the bond issues using the straight-line method. The
unamortized amount of deferred financing costs is included in other assets on the balance sheet.

59
NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Continued)

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

Charity Care

The Medical Center provides care without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to
patients meeting certain criteria under its charity care policy. Because the Medical Center does not
pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, these amounts are not reported as
net patient service revenue.

Income Taxes

As an essential government function of the County, the Medical Center is generally exempt from federal
and state income taxes under Section 1 1 5 of the I nternal Revenue Code and a similar provision of state
law. However, the Medical Center is subject to federal income tax on any unrelated business taxable
income.

Estimated Professional Liability Costs

The Medical Center has set aside certain assets for the payment of self-insured professional liability
losses and related costs. An annual estimated provision is accrued for the self-insured portion of
professional liability claims and includes an estimate of the ultimate costs for both reported claims and
claims incurred but not reported.

Compensated Absences

Medical Center policies permit most employees to accumulate vacation benefits that may be realized as
paid time off or, in limited circumstances, as a cash payment. Expense and the related liability are
recognized as vacation benefits are earned. Compensated absence liabilities are computed using the
regular pay and termination pay rates in effect at the balance sheet date plus an additional amount for
compensation-related payments such as social security and Medicare taxes computed using rates in
effect at that date.

Patient Accounts Receivable

The Medical Center reports patient accounts receivable for services rendered at net realizable amounts
from third-party payers, patients and others. The Medical Center provides an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and eXisting
economic conditions. As a service to the patient, the Medical Center bills third-party payers directly and
bills the patient when the patient's liability is determ ined. Patient accounts receivable are due in full
when billed. Accounts are considered delinquent and subsequently written off as bad debts based on
individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the account.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006
financial statement presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations.

60
NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER · (Continued)

C. Net Patient Service Revenue

The Medical Center has agreements with third-party payers that provide for payments to the Medical
Center at amounts different from its established rates. These payment arrangements include:

Medicare

I npatient acute care, skilled nursing, and substantially all outpatient services rendered to Medicare
program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates. These rates vary according to a
patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic, acuity and other factors. The Medical
Center is reimbursed for certain services at tentative rates with final settlement determined after
submission of annual cost reports by the Medical Center and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal
intermediary. The Medicare fiscal intermediary has audited the Medical Center's cost reports through

Medicaid

I npatient services are paid under a prospective payment system. Outpatient services rendered to
Medicaid program beneficiaries are primarily reimbursed based on a cost reimbursement methodology.
The Medical Center is reimbursed for certain services at a tentative rate with final settlement
determined after subm ission of annual cost reports by the Medical Center and audits thereof by the
Medicaid fiscal intermediary.

Approximately 44% of net patient service revenues are from participation in the Medicare and state­
sponsored Medicaid programs for the year ended June 30, 2006. Laws and regulations governing the
Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation and change. As a result, it
is reasonably possible that recorded estimates will change materially in the near term.

The Medical Center has also entered into payment agreements with certain commercial insurance
carriers, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider organizations. The basis for
payment to the Medical Center under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per
discharge, discounts from established charges and prospectively determined daily rates.

I n 2006, net patient service revenue includes approximately $6,546,000 of funds received through the
Medicaid Upper Payment Limit program.

D. Accounts Receivable

The Medical Center grants credit without collateral to its patients, many of whom are area residents and
are insured under third-party payer agreements. Patient accounts receivable at June 30, 2006,
consisted of these amounts:

Patients and their insurance carriers $ 3 1 , 088, 1 34

F. Deposits, I nvestments and Investment Income

Deposits

Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, a government's deposits may not be
returned to it. The Medical Center's deposit policy for custodial credit risk requires compliance with the
provisions of state law.

State law requires collateralization of all deposits with federal depository insurance; bonds and other
obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. agencies or instrumentalities of the State of Texas; bonds of any
city, county, school district or special road district of the State of Texas; bonds of any state; or a surety
bond having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the deposits.

At June 30, 2006, $ 21 4,499 of the Medical Center's bank balance of $60,674,034 was exposed to
custodial credit risk as follows:

Uninsured and uncollateralized $ 21 4,499


Uninsured and collateral held by pledging financial
institution's trust department or agent in other
than the Medical Center's name. 60,459,534

Under the terms of the Revenue Bond Indentures, the Medical Center is required to maintain certain
funds with a trustee. Accordingly, these funds are included as assets held by trustee for debt service
and capital acquisitions in the balance sheets. The Revenue Bond I ndentures also place limits on the
incurrence of additional borrowings and require that the Medical Center satisfy certain m easures of
financial performance as long as the bonds are outstanding.

The debt service requirements as of June 30, 2006, are as follows:

During 2006, the Medical Center paid $1, 645,000 of the 1 994 bonds prior to their scheduled maturity at
a price of 1 02% of the par amount of the bonds.

H. Derivative Instruments

Objective of the Derivative Instruments

The Medical Center's asseUliability strategy is to have a mixture of fixed and variable-rate debt to take
advantage of market fluctuations. As a strategy to maintain acceptable levels of exposure to the risk of
changes in future cash flows due to interest rate fluctuations and to lower its borrowing costs when
compared against fixed-rate debt at the time of issuance, the Medical Center entered into six separate
total return swap agreements and one fixed pay interest rate swap agreement related to its Series 1 994
revenue bonds. The total return swap agreements effectively changed 1 00 percent of the Series 1 994
revenue bonds to a variable interest rate obligation. The fixed pay swap agreement effectively
converted $ 1 0,000,000, or approximately 50 percent of the Series 1 994 debt, back to a fixed rate of
3.05 percent, which is lower than the original effective fixed interest rate of the 1 994 bonds.

65
NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Cont i n u ed )

H. Derivative Instruments - (Continued)

The agreements were entered into on September 30, 2004, and expire at various dates through
January 1 , 201 6. The agreements required no initial net cash receipt or payment by the Medical
Center. Under the fixed pay swap agreement, the Medical Center will receive interest from the
counterparty at 67 percent of the London I nterbank Offering Rate (LiBOR) and will pay interest to the
counterparty at a fixed rate of 3.05 percent on an amortizing notional amount of $1 0,000,000.

Under the total return swap agreements, the Medical Center will pay interest equal to the BMA Index plus
24 basis points, and will receive interest at rates ranging from 6.00 percent to 6.25 percent on an
amortizing notional amount, initially $20,855,000. The Medical Center will pay an additional amount to the
counterparty of $208,550 on January 1 , 2007. At the termination date of each total return swap
agreement, the Medical Center will pay or receive the difference in the fair value of the underlying portion
of the Series 1 994 bonds and the base price of the swap's notional amount.

The notional amount of the total return swap and the principal amount of the associated debt were
equal at inception of the swap. Each swap agreement expires prior to the payment of a corresponding
amount of principal on the Series 1 994 bonds. The fixed pay swap's notional amount was not directly
associated to any portion of the Series 1 994 bonds. Under the agreement, the Medical Center pays or
receives the net interest amount monthly, with the monthly settlements included in interest expense.

Fair Value

As of June 30, 2006, the agreements had an aggregate fair value of $23,914 as calculated by a third­
party financial advisor. For the fixed pay swap agreement, the fair value was calculated using the par­
value method, i.e., the fixed rate on the swap was com pared with the current fix rates that could be
achieved in the marketplace should the swap be unwound. The fixed-rate component was valued by
discounting the fixed-rate cash flows using the current yield to maturity of a comparable bond. The
variable-rate component was assumed to be at par value because the interest rate resets to the market
rate at every reset date. The fair value was then calculated by subtracting the estimated m arket value
of the fixed component from the established market value of the variable component.

For the total return swaps, the fair value was based on the difference in the total return base price
(103 percent of the bonds par value) at June 30, 2006, compared to the fair market value of the
Series 1 994 bonds based on current traded value. The fair value of the total return swap agreements
includes the 1 percent premium payments due on January 1 , 2007.

The premium payment due January 1 , 2007, that totals $208,550, is recorded as a liability on the
Medical Center's balance sheet. The remaining fair value of the agreement is not recognized in the
financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

The total return swaps increase the Medical Center's exposure to interest rate risk. As the BMA index
increases, the Medical Center's net payments on the total return swaps increase.

66
NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Continued)

H. Derivative Instruments - (Continued)

Credit Risk

The swaps' fair values represent the Medical Center's credit exposure to the counterparty as of
June 30, 2006. Should the counterparty to this transaction fail to perform according to the terms of the
swap agreements, the Medical Center has a maximum possible loss equivalent to the swaps' fair value
at that date. As of June 30, 2006, the Medical Center was not exposed to credit risk because the swap
had a negative fair value. The swap counterparty was rated AA- by Fitch Ratings, A+ by Standard &
Poor's, and Aa3 by Moody's Investor Service, Inc., as of June 30, 2006.

Basis Risk

The swaps expose the Medical Center to basis risk should the relationship between UBOR and BMA
rats bonds change in a manner adverse to the Medical Center. If an adverse change occurs in the
relationship between these rates, the expected cost savings may not be realized.

Termination Risk

The Medical Center or the counterparty may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under
the terms of the contract. If the swap is terminated, the synthetic variable rates under the total return
swap and fixed rate under the fixed pay swap would cease, increasing the net interest cost to the
Medical Center. Also, if the swap has a negative fair value at the time of termination, the Medical
Center would be liable to the counterparty for a payment equal to the swap's then fair value. Either
party may terminate any or all of the total return swaps with advance written notice.

Rollover Risk

The Medical Center is exposed to rollover risk on many of the total return swaps, which mature or may
be terminated prior to the maturity of the Series 1 994 revenue bonds. When these swaps terminate, or
in the case of the termination option, if the counterparty exercises its option, the Medical Center will not
realize the synthetic rate offered by the total return swaps on the bonds. In addition, the Medical Center
will be subject to disproportionate interest rate risk subsequent to the latest total return swap maturity
(at latest November 2 , 201 1 , unless earlier terminated by the counterparty) as it is obligated to pay fixed
rates on the remaining outstanding bonds and will also pay fixed rates and receive variable rates on the
interest rate swap through January 201 6.

Swap Payments and Associated Debt

Using rates as of June 30, 2006, debt service requirements of the Series 1 994 bonds and net swap
payments, assuming current interest rates remain the same, for their term are set forth in the table
shown below. As rates vary, net swap payments will vary.

NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Continued)

I. Self-insured Claims

The Medical Center partially self-insures the cost for its general and professional liabil ity, em ployee
health care benefits, and workers' compensation. The Texas Tort Claims Act limits the Medical Center's
general and professional liability to $1 00,000 per claim and $300,000 per occurrence, with no annual
aggregate. The Medical Center purchases annual stop-loss insurance coverage for all em ployee health
care benefits and workers' compensation claims. Stop-loss coverage began at $300,000 for workers
compensation claims in 2006. Stop-loss coverage for em ployee health claims began at $ 450,000
during 2006.

Losses from asserted and unasserted claims identified under the Medical Center's incident reporting
system are accrued based on estimates that incorporate the Medical Center's past experience, as well
as other considerations, including the nature of each claim or incident and relevant trend factors.
Management believes that the funds designated by the Medical Center related to self-insured general
and professional liability and the accrued liabilities for all self-insured claims are sufficient to cover any
losses it may incur. It is reasonably possible that the Medical Center's estimate of losses will change
by a material amount in the near term.

NOTE 22: CITIZENS MEDICAL CENTER - (Continued)
J. Charity Care

In support of its mission, the Medical Center voluntarily provides free care to patients who lack financial
resources and are deemed to be medically indigent. Because the Medical Center does not pursue
collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported in net patient service
revenue. In addition, the Medical Center provides services to other medically indigent patients under
certain government-reimbursed public aid programs. Such programs pay providers amounts which are
less than established charges for the services provided to the reCipients and many times the payments
are less than the cost of rendering the services provided.
In addition to uncom pensated charges, the Medical Center also commits significant time and resources
to endeavors and critical services which meet otherwise unfilled community needs. Many of these
activities are sponsored with the knowledge that they will not be self-supporting or financially viable.
Such programs include health screening and assessments, prenatal education and care, community
educational services and various support groups.

K. Related Party Transactions

The County maintains custody of the Medical Center's operating cash accounts and is responsible for
obtaining appropriate collateralization of such accounts. The County issues debt on behalf of the
Medical Center and invests the unadvanced proceeds. The investment income attributable to deposits
of the 1 994 and 1 999 bond funds, net of amounts capitalized, are included in nonoperating income.

L. Pension Plan

The Medical Center sponsors The Texas Hospital Association Retirement Plan for Citizens Medical
Center ("the Plan"), an agent multi-employer defined benefit pension plan that covers eligible
employees. The Plan is administered by HealthShare/THA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Texas
Hospital Association. The Plan's assets are invested as a portion of the total HealthShare/THA
investment trust fund. Amendments to the Plan are made only with the authority of the Board of· the
Medical Center. The Plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report. However, an annual actuarial
valuation report is available from the Medical Center or HealthShare/THA. That report may be obtained
by writing HealthShare/THA at P.O. Box 1 5587, Austin, Texas 78761 -5587.

All Medical Center employees who work 20 or more hours per week for at least five months during a
year are eligible for the Plan. There is no minimum age requirement for Plan participation.

The Plan provides retirement, death and disability benefits. Additionally, the Plan provides fully-vested
benefits to terminated em ployees who have at least five years of vesting service. Employees may retire
(with reduced benefits) at age 60 with five years of vesting service. The monthly benefit at normal
retirement (age 65 plus five years of Plan participation), payable in a lifetime annuity, ranges from 1 .75
percent to 3.25 percent times years of service times average monthly compensation, subject to certain
benefit lim its.

Funding Policy

The Board has the sole authority to establish or amend the obligations to contribute to the Plan by
participants or the employer.

Plan participants are required to contribute at rates ranging from 3.0 percent to 4.5 percent in 2006 of
their prior Plan year compensation. The Medical Center makes contributions at an actuarially
determined amount, which equaled 6 percent of participant-covered compensation for 2006 and is
expected to be 5.7 percent of participant-covered compensation for 2007. The costs of administering
the Plan are paid by the Plan and are considered in the determination of the employer contribution rate.

Annual Pension Cost

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Medical Center's Annual Pension Cost (APC) was
$ 1 , 597,392, which was equal to the Medical Center's annual contributions.

The required contributions for 2006 were determined based on the results of actuarial valuations as of
March 1 , 2006, using the aggregate actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) a
7.75 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and (b) projected salary
increases ranging from 5.0 percent to 9.0 percent per year. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation
component of 4.0 percent. The actuarial valuation of Plan assets was determined using a five-year
adjusted market value method.

Trend Information
Annual Pension Percentage of APC Net Pension
Year Ended Cost (APC) Contributed Obligation (Asset)
2006 $ 1 , 597,392 1 1 4% $ (446,673)
2005 1 ,31 0,604 88% (225,315)
2004 1 , 1 24,907 1 37% (378,819)

There was no separately determined unfounded actuarial accrued liability and no amortization period at
the March 1 , 2006 valuation date due to the actuarial cost method being used.

M. Designated Net Assets

At June 30, 2006 and 2005, unrestricted net assets have been designated by the Medical Center's
Board of Directors for the following purposes:
2006 2005
Capital acquisitions $ 22,488,795 $ 22,650,492
Self-insured professional liability 837,365 826,702
Self-insured health care 314,499 300,362

Designated net assets remain under the control of the Board of Directors, which may at its d iscretion
later use these net assets for other purposes.

N. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Medical Center is, from time to time, subject to allegations that
may or do result in litigation. Some of these allegations are in areas not covered by the Medical
Center's self-insurance program (discussed elsewhere in these notes) or by commercial insurance; for
example, allegations regarding employment practices or performance of contracts. The Medical Center
evaluates such allegations by conducting investigations to determine the validity of each potential claim.
Based upon the advice of legal counsel, management records an estimate of the amount of ultimate
expected loss, if any, for each. Events could occur that would cause the estimate of ultimate loss to
differ materially in the near term.

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

The Honorable County Judge and Members


of the Commissioners' Court
County of Victoria, Texas

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of County of Victoria, Texas (the "County") as of and for the year ended December 3 1 , 2006,
which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
June 1 9, 2007. Our report was modified to include a reference to other auditors. 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 Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Other auditors audited the financial statements of the Citizens Medical Center
and the Victoria County Child Welfare Board, as described in our report on the County's financial statements.
The financial statements were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the County's internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the County's internal control over financial reporting.

A control deficiency 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
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that adversely affects the County's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report
financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more
than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the County's financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the County's internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in


more than a remote likelihood that a material m isstatement of the financial statements will not be
prevented or detected by the County's internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that
might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as described above.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County'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 on noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the County Judge and mem bers of
Comm issioners' Court, management, and federal and state awarding agencies, and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO


EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A·133

The Honorable County Judge and Members


of the Commissioners' Court
County of Victoria, Texas

Compliance

We have audited the compliance of the County of Victoria, Texas (the "County" ), with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance
Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 3 1 , 2006.
The County's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the
County's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the County's compliance based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-Profll Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-1 33
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a
major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the County's
compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures, as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does
not provide a legal determination on the County's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are
applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31 , 2006.

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In
planning and performing our audit, we considered the County's internal control over compliance with
reqUirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine
our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's internal control over compliance.

A control deficiency in an entity's internal control over compliance 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 noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
adversely affects the entity's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote
likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies that results in more
than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.

Our consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.
