Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the Board of Regents ofthe University System of Georgia
and Director and Members of the Thomas County Public Library System
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund (Exhibits A through G) ofthe Thomas County Public Library System a component unit ofThomas County, Georgia as ofand for the year ended June 30, 2003, which collectively comprise the Library's basic financial statements as listed in the table ofcontents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Thomas County Public Library System'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 ofAmerica and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 optmon.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective position ofthe governmental activities and each major fund ofthe Thomas County Public Library System, as ofJune 30, 2003, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
2003-34ARL-41

The Thomas County Public Library System has not presented Management's Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has determined is necessary to supplement, although not to be part of, the basic financial statements.
As discussed in Note 2 to the basic financial statements, during fiscal year 2003, the Library completed a comprehensive inventory of its capital assets for inclusion in the basic financial statements. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 2, the Thomas County Public Library System has implemented a new financial reporting model as required by provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as of June 30, 2003.
The Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual, as presented on page 19 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the 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 ofmeasurement and presentation ofthe required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Thomas County Public Library System's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information which consist of Schedules 2 and 3, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe 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.
A copy ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated section 506-24.
Respectfully submitted,

EXHIBIT"F"

Total Net Change in Fund Balance - Governmental Fund (Exhibit "E")
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Capital Outlays are reported as expenditures in Governmental Funds. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of Capital Assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In the current period, these amounts are:
Capital Outlay Depreciation Expense
Excess of Depreciation Expense over Capital Outlay
In the Statement of Activities, only the gain on the sale of the equipment is reported, whereas in the Governmental Funds, the entire proceeds from the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balances by the carrying value of the equipment sold.

Note 1: DESCRIPTION OF LIBRARY AND REPORTING ENTITY
REPORTING ENTITY
The Thomas County Public Library System (Library) operates pursuant to Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Sections 20-5-40 through 20-5-59 to provide public library services with costs shared by participating local governmental agencies and grants from the State of Georgia.
The Library Board consists of nine members appointed by the Thomas County Board of Commissioners. The Library Board is without authority to determine the amount of its funding, except by submission ofbudget requests to local governmental units from which the Library receives support and to the State of Georgia for State and Federal flow through funding. The Library Board has the power to designate management, the power to retain unreserved fund balances of local and other funds for continued operations and is the lowest level of oversight responsibility for the Library's operations.
The Thomas County Board of Commissioners appoints all of the Library's Board members and provides a substantial majority of funding for the operations of the Library, consequently, the Library is deemed to have a financial benefit/burden relationship with Thomas County, Georgia as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Accordingly, the Thomas County Public Library System is considered to be a component unit of Thomas County, Georgia for financial reporting purposes.
Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Library's basic financial statements are collectively comprised of the Library-wide financial statements, fund financial statements and notes to the basic financial statements of the Thomas County Public Library System.
Library-wide Statements: The Statement ofNet Assets and the Statement ofActivities display information about the financial activities of the overall Library. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the Library's governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses (expenses of the Library related to the administration and support of the Library's programs, such as office and maintenance personnel and accounting) are not allocated to programs.

THOMAS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003

EXHIBIT "G"

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients ofgoods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the Library's funds. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds.
The Library reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund is the Library's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the Library, except those resources required to be accounted for in another fund.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The basis ofaccounting determines when transactions are reported on the financial statements. The Library-wide governmental 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 at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the Library gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include grants and donations. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The Library uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The Library considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Interest is considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Library funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program costs are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the Library's policy to first apply grant resources to such programs, followed by cost-reimbursement grants, then general revenues.

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR FUND BALANCE - GENERAL FUND

In prior years, the financial activities ofthe Library's Capital Projects Fund and Fiduciary Fund were reported separately. These funds had a combined fund balance of$57,766 at July 1, 2002. For fiscal year 2003, these funds have been reported as part of the General Fund.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 authorize the Library to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks or insured Federal savings and loan associations.
INVESTMENTS
COMPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS Investments made by the Library in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates of deposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase of one year or less are reported at amortized cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year are reported at fair value. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the Library to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate ofreturn shall be the objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested in the following:
(1) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states,
(2) Obligations issued by the United States government,
(3) Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United States government agency,
(4) Obligations of any corporation of the United States government,
(5) Prime banker's acceptances,
(6) The Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services,
(7) Repurchase agreements, and

met. Receivables recorded on the basic financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.

CAPITAL ASSETS

Capital assets purchased, including capital outlay costs, are recorded as expenditures in the fund financial statements at the time ofpurchase. On the Library-wide financial statements, all purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost based on appraisals or deflated current replacement cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at depreciated recorded cost. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of assets or materially extend the useful lives of the assets is not capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.

Capitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the Library-wide statements are as follows:

Depreciation is used to allocate the actual or estimated historical cost of all capital assets over estimated useful lives.

Note 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS

The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value of securities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent ofthe public funds being secured after the deduction ofthe amount ofdeposit insurance. If a depository elects the pooled method (OCGA 45-8-13.1) the aggregate ofthe market value ofthe securities pledged to secure a pool ofpublic funds shall be not less than 110 percent ofthe daily pool balance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 (b) provides an officer holding public funds may, in his discretion, waive the requirement for security in the case ofoperating funds placed in demand deposit checking accounts.

Note 5: RISK MANAGEMENT

The Library has obtained commercial insurance for risk ofloss associated with torts, assets, errors or omissions and acts of God. However, the errors or omissions policy excludes coverage for discrimination. The Library has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Library's insurance coverage in any ofthe past three years.

The Library participates in the Association County Commissioners ofGeorgia-Selflnsured Workers' Compensation Fund, a public entity risk pool organized on July 1, 1982 to develop, implement and administer a program of workers' compensation self-insurance for its member organizations. The Library pays an annual premium to the Fund for its general insurance coverage. Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company to provide coverage for potential losses by the Fund in excess of $450,000 loss per occurrence, up to $2,000,000.

The Library has purchased a surety bond to provide additional insurance coverage as follows:
