In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the major fund of the District, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards (Government Auditing Standards), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Financial Reporting Entity As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the District and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Deschutes County, Oregon as of June 30, 2024, or the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. DESCHUTES COUNTY ExTENSION AND 4-H COUNTY SERvICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 7 In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control—related matters that we identified during the audit. 8 DESCHUTES COUNTY ExTENSION AND 4-H COUNTY SERvICE DISTRICT| A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and schedule of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance – budget and actual – General Fund (budgetary comparison), as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the management’s discussion and analysis because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The budgetary comparison information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The budgetary comparison information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements. The schedule of property tax transactions, as listed in the table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of property tax transactions is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the financial statements.

Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. DESCHUTES COUNTY ExTENSION AND 4-H COUNTY SERvICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 9 In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 4, 2024, on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely 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 effectiveness of the District's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.

The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on compliance.

Financial Highlights ■The assets of Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District exceeded its liabilities as of June 30, 2024, by $1,505,068� Of this amount, -$258,286 is unrestricted� ■Total net position increased by $43,580 from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024� ■As of June 30, 2024, Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District’s governmental fund reported an ending fund balance of $394,167 or 55% of total general fund revenues for fiscal year 2024. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basic financial statements. These basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements; 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District’s finances in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position� Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District is improving or deteriorating� The Statement of Activities presents information showing how Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District’s net position changed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Changes in net position are reported when the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items, for example, property taxes and accrued vacation that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. Each of these government-wide financial statements, Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, show the functions of the District that are supported primarily by taxes and inter-governmental revenues (governmental activities)� The governmental activity of Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District is providing agricultural education extension services to the residents of Deschutes County, Oregon� The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 14 - 15 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 District, like other state and local government entities, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The fund utilized by Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District is classified as a governmental fund. Governmental funds are used to account for the same functions 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 on balances 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. Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 FINANCIAL SECTION Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District DESCHUTES COUNTY ExTENSION AND 4-H COUNTY SERvICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 11 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.

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� Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred� 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. It is the District’s policy to first apply restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available� 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� For this purpose, the District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period. Revenues received after this period are considered unavailable� Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting� Property taxes and intergovernmental revenue associated with the current fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the District� The District reports the following governmental funds: General Fund - The General Fund is utilized to account for the transactions of the District� Property taxes are the principal source of revenue� Expenditures are for the operation and administration of the District� FINANCIAL SECTION Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 Note 1 - Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Notes to Financial Statements 22 DESCHUTES COUNTY ExTENSION AND 4-H COUNTY SERvICE DISTRICT| A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon D. Budget Policy The District prepares a budget for all funds which meet the requirements of state law� The budget is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, with exceptions. The resolution authorizing appropriations for each fund sets the level for which it is unlawful to over expend� Program, debt service, transfers out, and contingency are the levels of control established by resolution� The detailed budget document provides for specific detailed information for the above-mentioned categories. Unexpected additional resources may be added to the budget through the use of a supplemental budget and appropriations resolution� Original and supplemental budgets may be modified by the use of appropriation transfers between the levels of control. Appropriations lapse as of year-end� E. Reporting Entity The District’s financial statements include the accounts of all District operations.

The District is included in the financial statements of the County as a special revenue fund, a blended component unit� F. Cash and Investments Cash and investments are comprised of funds held by the Deschutes County Treasurer, in the County’s cash and investment pool. The District’s cash and investments participate in this pool rather than specific, identifiable securities� The District’s share of County pooled cash and investments can be drawn upon demand, and therefore, the entire amount on deposit with the County is considered cash and cash equivalents� Interest earned on pooled investments is allocated monthly based on the average daily balance of the District in relation to total investments in the pool� It is not practical to determine the investment risk, collateral, or insurance coverage for the District’s share of these pooled investments� This pool generally includes demand deposits, investments in the Oregon State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), obligations of the United States Treasury and United States Government agencies and instrumentalities, certain high-grade commercial paper and corporate bonds. This policy is in accordance with ORS 294.035 which specifies the types of investments authorized for municipal corporations� State statutes authorize the County to invest in obligations of the U�S� Treasury, commercial paper, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, and the State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP)� Investments for the County, as well as for its component units, are reported at fair value� The LGIP operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations� Information about the pooled cash and investments is included in the County’s annual financial report and may be obtained by contacting the Deschutes County Finance Department, 1300 NW Wall Street, Suite 200, Bend, Oregon, 97703� G. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include equipment and building, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. In the governmental fund statements, capital assets are charged to expenditures as purchased� Capital assets are recorded at historical cost� Donated assets are recorded at acquisition value as of the date of the donation� Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated actual life of more than one year. Additions or improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset, or that significantly increase the capacity of an asset, are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Depreciation on exhaustible assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position and is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Financial Statements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 FINANCIAL SECTION Deschutes County Extension and 4-H County Service District Note 1 - Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) DESCHUTES COUNTY ExTENSION AND 4-H COUNTY SERvICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 23 Assets Years Building and Improvements 10-50 years Equipment 10 years H.

Tax revenue is considered available for expenditure upon receipt by the County, which serves as the intermediary collecting agency� Uncollected property taxes are shown on the General Fund balance sheet as receivables� Collections within 60 days subsequent to year-end have been recognized as revenue and the remaining taxes receivable are recorded as unavailable revenue on the modified accrual basis of accounting since they are not deemed available to finance operations of the current period I. Net Position Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities. The District reports the following subcategories of net position: ■Net investment in capital assets represents the difference between capital assets less accumulated depreciation, and the amounts owed to primary government for capital asset financing. ■Unrestricted represents all other net positions that are not restricted and do not meet the definition of net investment in capital assets� J. Fund Balance Reporting The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No� 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54), defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for financial reporting purposes. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the fund balance categories listed below: 1� Nonspendable, such as fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed or assigned)� 2� Restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation� 3� Committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the District’s governing board (the Districts’ highest level of decision- making authority)� Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation� 4� Assigned fund balance classification is intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. Assignments are made by the County Administrator based on the County Commissioner’s direction� 5� Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the District’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.

Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control or on compliance.
