As a result, on December 31, 2012, its Capital Projects Fund reported cash of $ 4,000,000 and fund balance (restricted) of $ 4,000,000. Leisure City anticipated completing the project during 2013. It also anticipated receiving a $ 1,000,000 grant from the federal government to aid in the construction project.

A letter attached to the grant said that no additional grant would be forthcoming; further, the grant stipulated that city resources had to be used before the grant could be used and that, if the city did not spend at least $ 4,600,000 on the project, a proportionate share of the grant must be returned to the federal government.
4. After reviewing construction cost estimates, the city decided to sell additional bonds in the amount of $ 400,000 face value. The city realized cash of $ 425,000 from the sale (which included a $ 25,000 premium), all of which was deposited in the Capital Projects Fund.

10. Based on the provisions of the federal grant (see transaction 3), Leisure City recognized the entire amount of the grant as revenue.
