resulted from the refunding of debt and the increase in County capital assets net of accumulated
<br />depreciation. Net assets do not present the County's position regarding spending, this amount is
<br />presented in the governmental funds statements.
<br />Cabarrus County's Net Assets
<br />Figure 2
<br />Several particular aspects of the County's financial operations positively influenced the total unrestricted
<br />governmental net assets:
<br />• Continued low cost of debt due to the County's high bond rating and the prevailing low interest
<br />rate environment.
<br />• General Fund County revenues at June 30, 2011 were $2,179,373 over budget. This is primarily
<br />due to higher than expected property tax collections.
<br />• The General Fund received $3,967,669 in other financing sources from a capital project fund for a
<br />project that was completed during the year and had remaining unspent funds.
<br />• The General Fund had budgeted fund balance appropriated of $3,269,843 that was not used
<br />during the fiscal year.
<br />• County departments were conservative in their spending and General Fund expenditures at June
<br />30, 2011 were $9,497,641 under budget. The Landfill Enterprise Fund operating expenditures
<br />were $198,808 under budget.
