DRAFT Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the Enterprise Florida Board
Enterprise Florida Board Meeting Minutes | November 3, 2011
Chairman’s Report Governor Scott began his remarks by commenting on the improving job growth picture in Florida’s and reviewing the initiatives he and the legislature passed in in the 2010 session that are helping the state’s economy rebound.
Education: eliminated tenure for new teachers K-12; made it easier to expand successful charter schools; started a process of merit pay; and provided scholarships for children going to poor-performing schools
Taxes: reduced property taxes by over $200 million for business owners and homeowners; and started the process of reducing and ultimately phasing out the state business tax
Regulation: eliminated the Department of Community Affairs
Welfare: instituted drug-screening for parents getting welfare for the benefit of a child
Budget: balanced the budget; reduced the state debt; and improved the state’s credit rating
Chairman Scott stated that during preceding nine months the state unemployment rate has fallen from 12 percent to 10.6 percent. While that is still higher than the national average, it has dropped faster than any other state. Florida has generated 110,300 jobs. In the month of May, Florida generated more jobs than the rest of the country. Chairman Scott declared that we have changed the direction of the state, but quickly reminded everyone that there is still a lot of work to done.
Chairman Scott pointed out that less than 20 percent of Florida university graduates get a degree in STEM areas, but statistics show that is where the strongest demand for workers will be in the future. He said that is where we should be spending money – where there is significant opportunity for job placement.
Chairman Scott stated that as governor he has three jobs: 1) make sure government doesn’t do anything that raises the cost of living; 2) make sure every dollar spent on education is spent for the benefit of the students; and 3) make sure everybody has a chance at getting a job.
In closing, Chairman Scott told the board that all of us have the opportunity to make sure every resident seeking employment has a chance to land a job. All we have to do is go talk to people. If everyone works to sell Florida, this would be the busiest place in the world. Chairman Scott expressed that Enterprise Florida is the vehicle that can make this happen. The Chairman ended his report by highlighting recent successful trade missions to Panama, Canada, and Brazil.
Following Chairman Scott’s message, Speaker Dean Cannon shared comments on the 2011 legislative session and what made it a good one for business and job creation.
President’s Update Gray Swoope told members that he has spent the last seven months getting to know the state of Florida. He has traveled the breath of the state and talked to leaders at every level to learn what Florida’s competitive advantages are. Swoope presented a suggested change that would modify the Executive Committee structure and the Enterprise Florida organizational configuration. He said that he has heard from many directors that the board wants to be more involved in decisions relative to policy and governance matters. Swoope’s recommendation is to have members of the Board serve as designated experts on the various business activities and governance roles of Enterprise Florida, with those designees also serving on the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee member would consist of 13 voting members and two ex-officio members (Quorum of 7).
The authority for an Executive Committee is granted by the Enterprise Florida Bylaws to the Board of Directors (2011). All meeting rules that apply to the Board apply to the Executive Committee. The Vice

Enterprise Florida Board Meeting Minutes | November 3, 2011
Chair of the Board chairs the Executive Committee and selects the issue leader-experts to serve during the Vice Chair’s two year term. The Executive Committee provides information and recommendations to the Enterprise Florida Board, supports the development of Board investors, reviews operations and management issues, monitors relationships with linked organizations and establishes the consent agenda for each board meeting. The new Executive Committee composition would be:
1. Chairman ( or designee) 2. Vice Chairman 3. Immediate past vice chair or vice chair elect 4. President of Enterprise Florida (ex-officio) 5. Vice Chair of Stakeholders’ Council (ex-officio) 6. Chair of Finance and Compensation Committee 7. Chair of Audit Committee 8. Chair of Legislative Policy Committee 9. Designee for International Trade and Development 10. Designee for Minority & Small Business, Entrepreneurship, Capital 11. Designee for Defense Retention & Expansion 12. Designee for Business Development 13. Designee for Sports Development 14. Designee for Tourism Marketing 15. Designee for Space Florida
Vinny Dolan made a motion to approve the reorganization of the Enterprise Florida Executive Committee, which was seconded by Brent Christensen, and approved unanimously.
President Swoope reiterated the fact that there is a new state level economic development team for Florida. There has been a lot of focus on getting the word out that there is a one-stop shop for economic development, and making it clear where to enter the system. There are three entities that work together in a seamless approach to economic development. The Department of Economic Opportunity’s role is service after the sale, compliance, and some product development. Enterprise Florida is the business development team. Workforce Florida both prepares the product and provides service after the sale, making sure Florida businesses can find workers with the skills they need.
Internally, at Enterprise Florida, division names are changing. New divisions include Business Development, which will handle all projects including some of the foreign direct investment projects; Minority & Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Capital, a new division, will include focus on minority business development which is now part of Enterprise Florida’s legislative mandate; Marketing and Communications, which will be responsible for getting our message out; and Strategic Partnerships, which will support the partnerships we have with our stakeholders and local economic development organizations. Two other components of the reorganization are that Government Relations will now report directly to the president of Enterprise Florida, and an Executive Vice President has been added to the team.
Under the new state level economic development structure, the statewide strategic planning process has been moved to the Department of Economic Opportunity.
Swoope informed the board that going forward economic development is going to be measured in three areas: competitive projects, facilitated growth, and organic growth. Competitive projects are the projects Enterprise Florida sees daily, and they will continue to be measured and reported as they have been in the past. Facilitated growth encompasses all the programs around the state that support new business development and the economic development eco system. These programs may not directly report to
DRAFT Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the Enterprise Florida Board
Enterprise Florida Board Meeting Minutes | November 3, 2011
Enterprise Florida, but Enterprise Florida will report on them as a factor of what is being done to create jobs. Examples include tourism and international trade. Organic growth is business policy and its effect on economic development.
Swoope reported that Florida has added over 92,000 net new jobs this year, which is 92 percent of the 2011 Governor’s job creation goal. Recent announcements include a Boeing project to build space taxis at Kennedy Space Center, which is a result of the partnership with Space Florida, IRX Therapeutics, and Time Warner.
Swoope took some time to offer a different perspective on recent media coverage of state incentives, which did not in all cases present the facts accurately.
At the close of his remarks Swoope entertained questions.
EFI Highlights & Initiatives
International Trade Development Manny Mencia told the board that the international economy continues to be a challenge to the recovery, but the Florida is still doing quite well in international trade. He said the pipeline from Europe has not declined as much as expected, Canada has become a very strong lead generator, and Brazil’s trade potential is starting to be realized. In fact, the trade mission to Brazil was one of the most successful trade missions the State of Florida has ever had. Over 115 Florida companies participated in the mission, approximately 3,000 Brazilian companies attended, $62 million in expected sales was reported, and one project and one expansion was announced. Enterprise Florida will be conducting three more trade events in Brazil over the next year to capitalize on marine, aviation, health technologies, and IT opportunities.
Mencia announced that Enterprise Florida was awarded a State Export Promotion Grant (STEP) of nearly $800 thousand from the Small Business Administration. This grant will be used to help companies, mostly small businesses, enter new markets.
Lastly, Mencia informed the board that Florida is the seventh community in the United States to become a partner of the World Bank through its Private Sector Liaison Officer (PSLO) Program. This program helps Florida companies access World Bank bids, mostly in developing countries.
Minority and Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Capital (MASBEC) Louis Laubscher gave the board an overview of the newly formed Minority and Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Capital division. The Florida Black Business Investment Board was merged into Enterprise Florida on September 1. That business was physically moved into Enterprise Florida’s Tallahassee office, and is under new leadership, Peter Harris. The mission was expanded from black business to minority business. The first efforts of this new division have been to inventory all of the resources around the state that support small and minority businesses, and bring them all together to form partnerships and begin to build a cohesive program.
Legislative Policy Fred Leonhardt reviewed the legislative agenda, which includes reenactment of Florida’s economic development confidentiality statute, reenactment of the Florida Opportunity Fund confidentiality statute, creation of the Florida Infrastructure Fund; funding for the economic development toolkit and SEED Fund; the manufacturing, machinery and equipment tax exemption; space direction for Florida Department of Transportation; adding Cecil Field as a Spaceport Territory; space infrastructure revision; operating budgets for Enterprise Florida, Space Florida and VISIT FLORIDA; full funding of the Quick Response

Training program; an update of the Innovation Incentive approval process; and a request that captive insurance companies maintain their asset management in Florida.
Fred Leonhardt made a motion to approve the proposed legislative agenda, which was seconded by Dominic Calabro, and approved unanimously.
Florida Sports Foundation Larry Pendleton reported on the Florida Sports Foundation. Since July 1, Florida has secured 34 events, which will draw 400,000 visitors, and generate an estimated economic impact of about $300 million, which puts the foundation on track to produce over a billion dollars worth of business this year. Pendleton indicated that the NBA All-Star game is in jeopardy because of the issues in the NBA. Florida lost the bid for the 2015 Super Bowl (to Arizona), but is putting together a bid to host the 2016 Super Bowl in South Florida. As his final note he mentioned that the Sports Foundation will be staging the Florida International Senior Games, an annual competition that allows out -of-state domestic and international competitors to participate in the Florida International Senior Games without first qualifying in a preliminary event. Marketing and Communications Melissa Medley, EFI Chief Marketing Officer, briefed the board on the Enterprise Florida marketing and communications division. Medley and her team are assessing the marketing programs that are currently in place. She indicated that under her leadership she wants all of the division’s efforts to point to lead development or job creation, and efforts supporting the sales process.
The name of the division was changed to reflect the fact that public relations has been combined with marketing and marketing research. The communications unit within the division will be concerned with how Florida will convey its business program externally to key target audiences for example, site selection consultants, business leaders and decision makers. Medley indicated that she will have a draft plan in place shortly, will gather input on the plan from key stakeholders, initiate a soft roll-out in December, and start implementing the plan by the first of the year.
Medley’s team is working on a number of initiatives and projects, including an audit of its key communication pieces and revamping the Enterprise Florida website; working with the Governor’s office to better leverage his and the Lieutenant Governor’s time to benefit the economic development process; and working with job creation partners such as the business development division, EDOs throughout the state, Department of Economic Opportunity, and Workforce Florida, as well as new team members like the Sports Foundation and VISIT FLORIDA.
VISIT FLORIDA Chris Thompson, President and CEO of VISIT FLORIDA updated the board on VISIT FLORIDA marketing efforts. In 2010, tourism managed to see a slight increase of 1.8 percent. Domestic tourism was down, but international tourism generated 82 million visitors and $62 billion in travel spending. In 2011, tourism is up 6.9 percent in volume. Internationally, the UK still leads in total number of visitors, but Brazil has surpassed the UK in overall spending within Florida. Thompson reported that the U.S. has dedicated zero dollars to promoting the U.S. brand around the world. There is now a VISIT FLORIDA model at the national level to promote the U.S. brand, called the Corporation for Travel Promotion, which will be funded by a fee from visitors from visa-waiver countries.
One of the top issues facing the tourism industry is visa waiver and entry. VISIT FLORIDA is working with the Corporation for Travel Promotion on this issue.
Initiatives include Air Team Florida, which seeks to increase the number of long-haul routes as gateways from international markets around the world; and Share a Little Sunshine, a program that encourages residents to become vacation ambassadors by inviting friends and family to visit Florida. Share a Little

Sunshine reached out to Florida’s six largest universities and enlisted the support of the head football coaches to expand the program and demonstrate by their participation “which school had the number one fan base.” In his closing Thompson reminded the board of Viva Florida, the state’s celebration of the 500th anniversary of Ponce de Leon landing in Florida.
Space Florida Board Report Frank DiBello reported that there has probably never been a better time in Florida’s history for growth of the aerospace industry in the state, when taking into consideration the oppressive labor rates, and tax and regulatory environments in other states. Space Florida recently conducted a trade mission to the UK, led by the Lt. Governor. While on the mission, Space Florida gave testimony before a space policy committee of Parliament; met with a number of Ministry of Defense officials and the UK space agency; and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Aerospace Defense and Space with a goal of improving long-term joint ventures and collaboration.
While in Europe, Space Florida went to Spain to meet with the Minister of Science and Technology and the Spanish equivalent of NASA. DiBello stated that they signed two Memoranda of Understanding. The Lt. Governor and the King of Spain signed an MOU to conduct collaborative research, led by the Florida University System, focused on space research, biolife sciences research associated with agriculture, and research associated with aging. Spain has pledged 18 million euro for that project. The second MOU, signed by Space Florida and INTA (Spanish NASA) creates a joint venture that will place a company in Florida to manufacture small satellites.
The UK trade mission brought a hydrogen storage company to Florida, and they have already hired ten high-level research scientists.
Stakeholders Council Update Brent Christensen gave a brief update on the Stakeholders Council meetings. The Stakeholders Council retired its committees and has established task forces and monthly calls with Gray as a forum for discussing issues. Christensen reported that as a result of the previous stakeholders meeting, an RFP has been developed to conduct a competitiveness study. The study will poll site location consultants on how Florida competes in its seven target markets: where does Florida do well and where it needs improvement? He stated that the study is scheduled to be completed in April, and will provide good material for the following legislative session.
New Business
No new business.

Executive Committee Report to the Board January 26, 2012 8:30 A.M. – 11:30 A.M. EST
At the November 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized the Executive Committee (EC) to approve the EFI Tactical Plan and metrics for 2011-12, and to approve the slate of directors for VISIT FLORIDA.
The EC met on Dec.17, 2011 to review the documents. After discussion they asked that EFI staff provide a comparison of the new metrics versus last year’s metrics. Then they reviewed and approved the Board recommendations for VISIT FLORIDA, noting that three candidates had changed and left the proposal since the slate was developed.
At the January 2012 meeting of the Executive Committee, the updated Tactical Plan information was presented and changes were noted. There are changes to unit names, assignments have moved from one nit to another and EFI now has five tactical strategies to support the DEO goals. The previous Plans had four goals. The Executive Committee approved the Tactical Plan. Also at that meeting the three remaining vacancies on the VISIT FLORIDA board were filled by EC vote.
The approved EFI Tactical Plan and list of VISIT FLORIDA Board members are enclosed.

Enterprise Florida Board Meetings | January 25-26, 2012
Enterprise Florida, Inc. FY 2011-2012
Transitional Year: Foundations for Growth
Background
Enterprise Florida, Inc. (“EFI”) has served as the lead economic development organization for the state of Florida since 1996. Established as a public-private partnership led by a Board of Directors, it uses the resources and leadership of both government and business to guide the entity. The organization was restructured by the 2011 legislature: new resources and responsibilities were added through consolidation of the Florida Sports Foundation and the Black Business Investment Board (changed to the Minority Business Development Board) into the EFI; EFI’s appointed Board members were given the additional assignment of serving on the Space Florida Board; and, VISIT FLORIDA was linked to EFlorida by reporting and funding. Five operational divisions were defined in law with additional reporting requirements.
At the same time, EFI’s primary state partner, OTTED (Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development) was dissolved and its roles and responsibilities were assigned to a new state agency, the Department of Economic Opportunity (“DEO”). DEO was formed to focus on improving the economic development process by eliminating roadblocks and redundancies that have frustrated business growth in the past. This new agency includes all or parts of the former Department of Community Affairs the Agency for Workforce Innovation; and oversight of public private partnerships through the Division of Strategic Business Development (“DSBD”). It was the responsibility of developing the state’s strategic plan for economic development, a role previously assigned to Enterprise Florida and given the new responsibility of writing a business plan for statewide job creation by September 1.
All mergers, contractual, administrative and other changes required to fulfill the legislatively imposed reorganization to EFI were to be completed by December 31, 2011. The law recognized that in 2012, modifications may need to be made to existing provisions in order to resolve any unintended consequences and/or improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the reorganized economic development structure. EFI and DEO completed the “State of Florida Job Creation Plan” (Business Plan) and are working together along with Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI) on new assignments and joint initiatives to improve job development systems related to incentive approvals, workforce training, and site identification and approval.
Enterprise Florida Board Meetings | January 25-26, 2012
Purpose of Tactical Plan
EFI has operated with an internal business plan or operations plan since 2003. The FY 2012-15 Tactical Plan takes the place of that document. The Tactical Plan is used to establish business operation and administration metrics for EFI. The Plan focuses on the primary mission and includes the tactics that support the development of private sector support and the administration of the tools and resources that support the achievement of the mission. The Board uses the plan to establish measures that are linked to staff incentives for performance.
Enterprise Florida Board Meetings | January 25-26, 2012
Measures of Success
If you’re not keeping score, you’re just practicing. Vince Lombardi
EFI recognizes that measures (words) with standards (numbers) are needed to focus resources of time and money to achieve success. EFI has two sources of measures.
State contract
These measures are set in the contract that EFI executes with DEO through the DSBD. In FY 2012 they include the 21 previously established measures for the public private partnerships of EFI, the Minority Business Development Board, and the Sports Foundation.
Tactical Plan
Established over the past eight years by EFI the Tactical Plan (aka Business Plan or Operations Plan) measures are approved by the Board and address business operations and administration functions of the organization. They are developed to support the goals of the State of Florida Job Creation Plan (“DEO Business Plan”) and linked to the Mission and Goals of Enterprise Florida. Each organizational Department or Division (“Unit”) and the Executive Office (“Corporate”) have 3-5 metrics that focus on achievement of the EFI Plan. The incentive payments for all staff performance are based on the results of their personal plans, their Unit, and the Corporate measures. (Note: the President/CEO only has Corporate and personal for his evaluation.)
The EFI Tactical Plan supports the Goals of the DEO Business Plan:
Increase Florida’s global competitiveness as a destination for business, capital, talent, innovation and entrepreneurship
Promote Florida as the world destination of choice for business and industry
Facilitate business development through delivery of world-class customer service
The success of the DEO Business Plan is measured by the monthly Federal employment report.
Enterprise Florida Board Meetings | January 25-26, 2012
Vision
Enterprise Florida, in fact and through its actions, is recognized by state-wide, national and international business and Economic Development Organization (EDO) leaders as the primary economic development organization for the state of Florida for competitive projects. EFI aggressively promotes the state of Florida and its potential for business growth, proactively identifying and growing businesses that diversify the economy. Customer service is a driver of its success.
Types of Job Growth
Enterprise Florida defines three types of job growth that will achieve job creation and economic growth in the state:
Competitive project growth: These are projects EFI competes for nationally and internationally. The projects are recruited from outside the state, retained against outside recruitment, and expanded in Florida. For these projects, EFI is the lead in coordinating statewide resources: physical, capital, programmatic and intellectual, to develop and present a competitive response to the opportunities.
Facilitated growth: These are projects and activities for which the state or associated entities make a conscious decision to direct resources to for growth. Other organizations may be the primary contact for implementation. These projects support recruitment of new investment, retention, entrepreneurial start-ups and the expansion of existing Florida businesses. Examples include tourism, international trade, small business development programs, University entrepreneurial programs, and technology commercialization programs. For these projects EFI works with industry, academic, community and economic development partners throughout the state in response to the needs as the lead or the support resource.
Organic growth: These are businesses start-ups or others who choose or expand in Florida because it is easy to do business here. EFI supports and promotes a favorable business climate in terms of low corporate taxes, a streamlined regulatory process and other business decision factors.
Enterprise Florida Board Meetings | January 25-26, 2012
Mission of Enterprise Florida
the state’s lead economic development agency
Tactical Plan Strategies
► 1 Position the state to retain jobs and aggressively compete for recruitment and expansion of investment and job-generating projects.
► 2 Partner with stakeholders as appropriate to promote EFI's mission and support economic development initiatives that positively impact all types of job growth.
► 3 Aggressively market the state to target individuals and groups to: create awareness of the Florida's pro-business proposition; drive lead generation; and to increase deal flow.
► 4 Secure adequate, sustainable public and private-sector participation to advance the mission of the organization.
► 5 Create a culture of professional economic development focused on continual improvement while maintaining resources necessary to support the organization’s mission.
These strategies support the goals of the DEO business plan and are implemented by leaders of the EFI units. Leadership Accountabilities reflect the key focus of each unit. The leaders of EFI are chosen to focus on job creation. Units that do not directly work on job development projects work on strengthening the

ANDY ROSEN CHAIRMAN AND CEO
KAPLAN HIGHER EDUCATION
Andrew S. Rosen is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kaplan, Inc., one of the world’s
leading providers of educational services. Rosen joined Kaplan in 1992 and was named Chairman
and CEO in November 2008. Kaplan, a subsidiary of The Washington Post Company (NYSE:
WPO), is a diversified educational company with more than $2.9 billion in revenue in 2010 and
accounted for more than half of the parent Company’s revenue.
Throughout his career, Rosen has embraced an outcomes-based approach to education, focusing
on student achievement and success. As CEO of the company’s largest business, Kaplan Higher
Education (KHE), Rosen redefined the higher education landscape, bringing online and campus-
based learning opportunities to working adults. Under his leadership, KHE has grown to account
for more than half of Kaplan’s revenue and today provides postsecondary education to nearly 80,000 students.
Rosen is a pioneer in the burgeoning online education market. As President of Kaplan University, Rosen led the school’s growth
from 34 students in 2001 to more than 53,000 online students today. He also oversaw Concord Law School, the first fully online
law school in the U.S.
Andy Rosen’s first book, “Change.edu: Rebooting for the New Talent Economy,” was published in October 2011. In
“Change.edu,” clearly and entertainingly details how far the American higher education system has strayed from the goals of
access, quality, affordability, and accountability that should characterize our system, and offers a prescription to restore
American educational pre-eminence. To learn more about the book or read Rosen’s blog, visit www.change-edu.com.
Rosen came to The Washington Post Company in 1986 as a staff attorney for The Washington Post newspaper and moved to
Newsweek as Assistant Counsel in 1988. When he moved to Kaplan, he served as Center Administrator, Regional Director, and
Vice President for Field Management prior to assuming the role of Chief Operating Officer in 1997. He was named President of
Kaplan, Inc. in 2002 and assumed leadership for Kaplan’s higher education operations in 2004.
Before joining The Washington Post Company, Rosen served as law clerk to the Hon. Levin H. Campbell, Chief Judge for the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, in Boston. He holds an A.B. degree from Duke University and a J.D. from Yale Law
School. Rosen currently serves on the boards of Enterprise Florida, the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, the Broward

Enterprise Florida Financial Report Quarter Ending December 31, 2011- Unaudited
The following financial information for the quarter ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, is unaudited, and is derived from internally generated financial statements. This report is provided to the Board of Directors to assist in its understanding and analysis of EFI’s financial performance and accountability. These statements have been generated by management and the fairness of their presentation is the responsibility of management.
Statement of Financial Position (Attachment A) The Statement of Financial Position provides a comparison of the assets, liabilities and net assets of EFI as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and is presented in a combined format on Attachment A-1. Attachment A-2 provides the detail of EFI’s Financial Position by category or activity. Operations are directly related to our agreement with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Administered are funds awarded by the State to various grantees and administered by EFI. Corporate is investor activity and the use of those funds. Restricted is funding earmarked for a specific use only for programs such as Base Protection, Florida Defense Support Task Force, Small Business Technology Growth Fund, Rural Strategic Marketing, and Technology related programs.
Statement of Activities (Attachment B) The Statement of Activities provides a comparison of EFI's revenues and expenses compared to the budget approved by the Board. Information for the prior year is presented for comparative purposes. Information is presented for the quarter ending December 31, 2011 and 2010 on Attachment B-1. Attachment B-2 provides the detail for the six months, formatted in the same manner as EFI’s Financial Position. Revenues Revenues include state funding, investor contributions, program fees, and interest. The revenues are either collected or billed by quarter end. For the quarter ending December 31, 2011, the second quarter revenue from the state has been recorded and is expected to be received in February. The increase in the budget and actual numbers over the prior year, reflects the merger of the Florida Sports Foundation and Florida Black Business Investment Boards into Enterprise Florida and the creation of the Sports and Minority Business divisions, respectively, rather than an increase in the state’s appropriation. Corporate contributions were budgeted at $1,400,000 again for FY 2011/12. Contributions are budgeted on a straight-line basis throughout the fiscal year, with collections varying based on the anniversary dates of the investors.
Revenue in total for the six months in the fiscal year is slightly lower than the budget related to the Sports division with collections related to the tag revenue slightly lower than the amount budgeted. Expenses Year-to-date, EFI has incurred expenses of $8.2 million compared to $6.5 million in 2010 but is under budget for the year. Similar to revenue, the increase in spending for operating, general and administrative, and travel is due to the merger of the Florida Sports Foundation and Florida Black Business Investment Board into Enterprise Florida’s Sports and Minority Business Divisions. Payroll and Related Costs have also increased to reflect the addition of the staff from these entities, as well as for the increase in staff hired over the past fiscal year to fill several key program positions previously left vacant.
Additional Schedules In addition, to assist in the analysis of EFI’s financial performance, included on the last page is a schedule of the administered activity detailing the category of programs by award year. The first column, the Contract Award, is a memo column indicating the expected total to be awarded. The next six columns track the actual flow of funds from the State to EFI, then to the Recipients. The last column total supports the Administered category of activity included in the detail of EFI’s Financial Position included on Attachment A-2 for December 31, 2011.

Restricted funds were received and recorded as revenue in prior years with funds expended in the current year. New funds were received related to the FL Defense Support Task Force, accounting for the majority of the increase .
Corporate contributions are budgeted on a straight-line basis. Actual collections are recorded on a cash basis. New investor payments and more actively invoicing current investors account for the increase over this point in time last year.
Operating, general and administrative costs are lower than the budget for the first half of the year but higher than last year due to the inclusion of the Sports and Minority Business divisions.
The second quarter operations appropriation from the state of Florida and trade accounts payable from administrative services provided. The actual amount is slightly lower than the budget based on the tag fees collected related to the Sports division. The increase over the prior year is from the inclusion of the Sports and Minority divisions and not an increase in the appropriation.
Temporarily restricted revenue was received and recorded in prior years with payments made in the current year for the Base Protection, Florida International Business Expansion Initiative, Technology, and Rural Strategic Marketing Programs.
Trade show expenses are higher than budget and prior year results but are offset with higher participation fees since all events are priced to break-even. There was much higher activity during the first six months of the year for the Team Florida missions.
Travel is slightly under budget for the year but higher than in prior years.
Other assets increased for new fixed assets purchased in FY 2010/11, as well as the inclusion of fixed assets from the Sports and Minority Business divisions.
Advertising & marketing was budgeted at $1 million for both FY 2010/11 and 2011/12 on a straight-line basis. Timing of the payments are in conjunction with the deliverables.
Accounts payable increased for the inclusion of the Sports and Minority divisions related to their grants programs.
Deferred Revenue is largely composed of funds received from the State of Florida, to be paid for EFI administered grants. The balance fluctuates throughout the year based on when funds are received from the State, as well as, when payments are made to the grantees.
The increase in unrestricted net assets correlates to the inclusion of the Sports and Minority Business divisions.
Less than budget because of open positions but slightly higher than prior years due to filling several key open positions during last fiscal year, as well as the addition of the staff from the Sports and Minority Business divisions.
Professional Fees are in line with the budget. The increase over prior year relates to the merger of the Sports and Minority Business divisions.
International offices are relatively on track with prior year-to-date numbers and the budget for the year.
