The School Dlstnct IS organized as a separate legal entity and has the power to levy taxes and Issue bonds Its budget IS not subject to approval by any other entity Accordingly, the School Dlstnct IS a pnmary government and COnsiSts of all the organizations that compose its legal entity. FUND ACCOUNTING The School Distnct uses funds and an account group 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 An account group IS a finanCial reportmg device deSigned to provide accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds because they do not directly affect expendable available financial resources. General Fixed Assets are recorded as expenditures m the various funds at the time of purchase A General Fixed Assets Account Group IS not presently mamtamed by the School District To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, a General Fixed Assets Account Group should be mamtamed for reponing the cost of assets acqUired by governmental fund types Although "school activity accounts" are mamtamed at the mdlvidual schools, neither the assets, liabilities and fund eqUity, nor the revenues, expenditures and changes m fund balances of these accounts are reflected m these finanCial statements To conform to generally accepted accounting pnnclples, these accounts should be recorded m the general-purpose finanCial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of speCific revenue sources (other than for major caPital projects) that are legally restncted to expenditures for specified purposes. These funds are received primanly from the Georgia Department of Education and from the Federal government to accomplish speCific educational obJectives.

ACCOUI''T GROUP GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A finanCial reporting device used to account for general obhgatlOn debt outstanding and capital lease obligations BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accounting and finanCial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus AJI governmental funds are accounted for uSing a current finanCial resources measurement focus With t1us measurement focus, only current assets and current liabihtles generally are included on the balance sheet Operating statements ofthese funds present increases (I e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (I.e., expenditures and other financing uses) In net current assets Their reported fund balance IS considered a measure of available spendable resources. Liabilities which are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as habihtles in the governmental funds. Other hablhtles, which are not expected to be financed from available spendable resources, are reported in thc Gcneral Long-Term Debt Account Group All nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resourccs measurement focus With this measurement focus, all assets and habilitles asSOCiated WIth the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements present Increases (e.g, revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets - 12 - BRANTLEY COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCAnON EXHIBIT "F" NOTES TO THE GENERAlrPURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30. 2002 Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis ofaccountIng under winch. Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "avllliable" means collectible WIthin the current penod or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay Iiablhties of the current penod The School DIstrict considers receivables collected WIthin SIxty days after yearend to be available. Property taxes, sales taxes and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual Nonexchange transactions, In which the School District gives (or receives) value WIthout dIrectly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, local option sales taxes, Intergovernmental grants and donations Revenue for property taxes IS recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied Revenue from sales taxes IS recognized in the fiscal year the resources are received or susceptible to accrual Revenue from grants and donatIOns is recogruzed in the fiscal year in which all eligIbIlity requirements have been satisfied Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability IS incurred. A departure from the above defimtlons is the accounting treatment afforded the final two payments on General Fund teachers' and bus dnvers' contracts, and the resources available from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these contracts. Dunng fiscal year 2002, a substantial number ofpersonnel of the School District were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period begmning In August 2001 and endIng In early June 2002. Personnel contracts for this employment period specifY that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beglnmng In September 2001 and ending In August 2002. State grants to fund the State's share of these contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department of EducatIOn to the School District In the same twelve months As of June 30. 2002. compensatIOn under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 2002, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the School Dlstnct subsequent to June 30.2002 Also. the State's portIOn ofthe compensation paid In July and August 2002 was receIved and recorded as revenue In the fiscal year subsequent to June 30. 2002. Conversely, the Similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed pnor to June 30, 2001, were recorded In the year ended June 30, 2002. Generally accepted accounting pnnclples reqUire that revenues be recorded when aVaIlable and measurable and that expenditures be recorded when incurred, rather than when funds are receIved or disbursed. The accrual basIS of accounting, as reqUired by generally accepted accountmg pnnciples, IS utihzed by nonexpendable trust funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time habi htles are incurred. BUDGET The Brantley County Board of Education's budget IS a complete financial plan for the School District's fiscal year and IS based upon estimates of expenditures together WIth probable funding sources There is no statutory prOhibItion regarding overexpendlture of the budget at any level.

The legal level of budget control was estabhshed by the Board at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on a basiS other than generally accepted accounting princIples. The budget process begIns when the School Distnct's adrmmstration prepares a tentative budget for the Board's approval After approval ofthiS tentative budget by the Board. such budget is advertIsed at least once in a newspaper of general CIrculation in the locality. At the next regular meeting of the Board after advertisement, the Board receives comments on the tentative budget, makes revIsIons as necessary and adopts a final school budget. Tlus final budget is then submItted. in accordance WIth proviSIOns of the Quality BasiC Education Act. OCGA Section 20-2-167(c). to the Georgia Department of EducatIon. The Board may increase or decrease the budget at any time during the year All unexpended budget authority lapses at fiscal year-end CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash eqUivalents consist ofcash on hand, demand deposits and short-term mvestments WIth origmal matuntles of three months or less from the date of acqUiSItion m authorized finanCIal Institutions.
