INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements (Exhibits A through D) of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, a unit of the University System of Georgia, which is an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30. 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of College's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1,the financial statements of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College are intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows of only that portion of the business-type activities of the State of Georgia that is attributable to the transactions of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows of the State of Georgia, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College as of June 30, 2011, and its changes in financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management's Discussion and Analysis is not a part of the basic financial statements but is required supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of this required supplementary information. However, we did not audit this information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules 1through 5) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Respectfully submitted,
~ u k e lWl . Hinton, CPA, CGFM State Auditor

Overview of the Financial Ststemen& and FinancialAnalysis
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2011. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. There are three financial statements presented: the Statement of Net Assets; the Statement of Revenues, Expensesand Changes in Net Assets; and the Statement of Cash Flows. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for fiscal year 2011and fiscal year 2010.
Statementof Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The Statement of Net Assets presents endof-year data concerning Assets (current and noncurrent), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (assets minus liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.
Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is expendable. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

$ 26,326,161 825,499
3.889.578
The total assets of the institution increased by $6,695,149. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $4,748,845 in the category of Capital Assets, Net. This increase was due to the College acquiring the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and the capital assets. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by $464,124. The combination of the increase in total assets of $6,695,149 and the decrease in total liabilities of $464,124 yields an increase in total net assets of $7,159,273. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of lnvested in Capital Assets, Net of Debt, in the amount of $5,910,783.
Statement of Revenues, Expensesand Changesin NetAsseb
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and nonoperating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Nonoperating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are nonoperating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $840,453 for the year primarily due to an increase in Federal revenue.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $536,281 and primarily affected the Instruction category. The increase reflects the increase in part time faculty members and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $277,246 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased electricity costs that were experienced in the fiscal year 2 0 1 1 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from noncapital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for nonoperating, noninvesting, and noncapital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.

Economic Ouffaok
The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is one of thirty-five (35) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Re~orting Standards.
Legally separate, tax exempt organizations whose activities primarily support units of the University System of Georgia, which are organizational units of the State of Georgia, are considered potential component units of the State. See Note 16 for additional information.
Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets and cash flows.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due t o the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia will continue to report summer revenues and expenses in the year in which the predominant activity takes place.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the College's financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except as noted in the preceding paragraph. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred. All significant intra-College transactions have been eliminated.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30,1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30,2011

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the College's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense in the year in which the expense was incurred. Depreciation, which also includes amortization of intangible assets such as water, timber, and mineral rights, easements, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as software is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 4 0 to 60 years for buildings, 2 0 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 1 0 years for library books, and 3 to 2 0 years for equipment. Residual values will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) - an organization that is external to the System. GSFIC issues bonds for and on behalf of the State of Georgia, pursuant to powers granted to it in the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Act creating the GSFIC. The bonds so issued constitute direct and general obligations of the State of Georgia, to the payment of which the full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are pledged.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred revenues also include amounts receivedfrom grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for scholarship allowances.

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2011. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The Federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the Federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U. S. Department of Education. The College has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off.

Note 11. Retimment Plans
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College participates in various retirement plans administered by the State of Georgia under two major retirement systems: Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS System) and Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. These two systems issue separate publicly available financial reports that include the applicable financial statements and required supplementary information. The reports may be obtained from the respective system offices. The significant retirement plans that Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College participates in are described below. More detailed information can be found in the plan agreements and related legislation. Each plan, including benefit and contribution provisions, was established and can be amended by State law.
Employees'RetirementSystem of Georgia
The ERS System is comprised of individual retirement systems and plans covering substantially all employees of the State of Georgia except for teachers and other employees covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. One of the ERS System plans, the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was established by the Georgia General Assembly during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees and has the powers and privileges of a corporation. ERS acts pursuant to statutory direction and guidelines, which may be amended prospectively for new hires but for existing members and beneficiaries may be amended in some aspects only subject to potential application of certain constitutional restraints against impairment of contract.
ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011
EXHIBlT "D"
On November 20, 1997, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP-ERS) of ERS. SRBP-ERS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of ERS. The purpose of the SRBP-ERS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by ERS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning January 1,1998, all members and retired former members in ERS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-ERS whenever their benefits under ERS exceed the limitation on benefits imposed by IRC Section 415.
The benefit structure of ERS is established by the Board of Trustees under statutory guidelines. Unless the employee elects otherwise, an employee who currently maintains membership with ERS based upon State employment that started prior to July 1,1982, is an "old plan" member subject to the plan provisions in effect prior to July 1,1982. Members hired on or after July 1, 1982 but prior to January 1,2009 are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions. Effective January 1,2009, newly hired State employees, as well as rehired State employees who did not maintain eligibility for the "old" or "new" plan, are members of the Georgia State Employees' Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS). ERS members hired prior to January 1,2009 also have the option to change their membership to the GSEPS plan.
Under the old plan, new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 1 0 years of creditable service and attainment of age 6 0 or 3 0 years of creditable service regardless of age. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 2 5 years of creditable service for members under age 60.
Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula adopted by the Board of Trustees for such purpose. The formula considers the monthly average of the member's highest 2 4 consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Post-retirement cost-of-living adjustments may be made to members' benefits provided the members were hired prior to July 1,2009. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension, at reduced rates, to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS.
Member contribution rates are set by law. Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation up to $4,200 plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members' earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits. Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1.25% of annual compensation. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll established by the Board of Trustees determined annually in accordance with actuarial valuation and minimum funding standards as provided by law. These Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College contributions are not at any time refundable to the member or his/her beneficiary.
Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2 0 1 1 were based on the June 30, 2008 actuarial valuation for the old and new plans and were set by the Board of Trustees on September 18, 2008 for GSEPS as follows:
Old Plan* New Plan GSEPS
10.41% 10.41%
6.54%
* 5.66% exclusive of contributions paid by the employer on behalf of old plan members
ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011
Members become vested after 1 0 years of service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions; the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.
Teachers Retirement System of Georgia
The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan created in 1943 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly to provide retirement benefits for qualifying employees in educational service. A Board of Trustees comprised of active and retired members and ex-officio State employees is ultimately responsible for the administration of TRS.
On October 25, 1996, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan of the Georgia Teachers Retirement System (SRBP-TRS). SRBP-TRS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of TRS. The purpose of SRBP-TRS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by TRS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning July 1,1997, all members and retired former members in TRS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-TRS whenever their benefits under TRS exceed the IRC Section 415 imposed limitation on benefits.
TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits. The benefit structure of TRS is defined and may be amended by State statute. A member is eligible for normal service retirement after 3 0 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 1 0 years of service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service.
Normal retirement (pension) benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 4 0 years. Early retirement benefits are reduced by the lesser of one-twelfth of 7% for each month the member is below age 60 or by 7% for each year or fraction thereof by which the member has less than 3 0 years of service. It is also assumed that certain cost-of-living adjustments, based on the Consumer Price Index, will be made in future years. Retirement benefits are payable monthly for life. A member may elect to receive a partial lumpsum distribution in addition to a reduced monthly retirement benefit. Death, disability and spousal benefits are also available.
TRS is funded by member and employer contributions as adopted and amended by the Board of Trustees. Members become fully vested after 1 0 years of service. If a member terminates with less than 10 years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions may be refunded with interest. Member contributions are limited by State law to not less than 5% or more than 6% of a member's earnable compensation. Member contributions as adopted by the Board of Trustees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2 0 1 1 were 5.53% of annual salary. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2 0 1 1 were 10.28% of annual salary as required by the June 30, 2009 actuarial valuation.

ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011
EXHIBIT "DM
Benefits A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. Upon the death of a member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and onehalf percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2 0 1 1 amounted to $56,306 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to three different selfinsured healthcare plan options. A PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan was offered for the entire reporting period, and effective 01/01/2011, a HSA/High Deductible PPO and a HMO are also offered on a self-insured basis. The HSA/High Deductible PPO and HMO were previously insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wellpoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, a fully insured HMO healthcare plan option is also offered to System employees through Kaiser.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects of accidental losses that involve State government assets. The State believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside assets for claim settlement. Accordingly, DOAS processes claims for risk of loss to which the State is exposed, including general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and law enforcement officers' indemnification. Limited amounts of commercial insurance are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of Georgia risk management program administered by DOAS. Premiums for the risk management program are charged to the various state organizations by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment.

A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Note 13. Contingendes
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. This could result in refunds to the grantor agency for any expenditure disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), if any, are generally considered to be actions against the State of Georgia. Accordingly, significant litigation, claims and assessments pending against the State of Georgia are disclosed in the State of Georgia ComprehensiveAnnual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Note 14. Post-EmploymentBenefits Other ThanPension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 20-3-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
The Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Plan is a single employer defined benefit plan. Financial statements and required supplementary information for the Plan are included in the publicly available Consolidated Annual Financial Report of the UniversitySystem of Georgia. The College pays the employer portion of health insurance for its eligible retirees based on rates that are established annually by the Board of Regents for the upcoming plan year. For the 2010 and 2 0 1 1 plan years, the employer rate was between 70-75% of the total health insurance cost for eligible retirees and the retiree rate was between 25-30%.
As of June 30, 2011, there were 172 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30. 2011, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College recognized as incurred $746,721 of expenditures, which was net of $400,548 of participant contributions.
