COUNTY OF HAWAII Notes to the Basic Financial Statements June 30,2021 Liquor Control Section 281 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes requires that liquor license revenues collected be used only for costs and expenses directly relating to operational and administrative costs actually incurred by the liquor commission collecting such fees. The unexpended fees at June 30,2021 of$1,020,479 are reflected as a restriction of general fund balance. Capital Assets Capital assets,which include property,plant,equipment, and infrastructure assets(e.g.,roads, bridges,curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks,drainage systems,lighting systems, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the County as assets with an initial,individual cost of more than$1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value if available or if not, 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 the life of the asset 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 included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. Capital assets of the primary government and enterprise fund are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Assets Years Infrastructure 20 to 100 years Buildings and improvements 50 to 100 years Ground and site improvements 20 to 50 years Equipment 5 to 40 years Easements Dependent on terms of easement agreement Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense or expenditure) until that time. The County has three items that qualifies for reporting in this category. The County reports the deferred loss on refunding and deferred outflow related to both pensions and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) as a deferred outflow of resources in its statement of net position. - 56 -
