INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S COMBINED REPORT ON REVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the accompanying basic financial statements of Gainesville College, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, and its' aggregate discretely presented component units, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2004, as listed in the table of contents, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We did not review the financial statements of Gainesville College's discretely presented component units. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us and the results of our review expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Gainesville College Foundation, Inc. is based solely upon the report of the other auditors. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Gainesville College.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Gainesville College personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review and the report of other auditors discussed above, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
04ARL-66

As discussed in Note 1, the College adopted the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, Statement Number 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units during the year ended June 30, 2004.
Management's Discussion and Analysis is not a required part ofthe basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We and other auditors have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries ofmanagement regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of this supplementary information, and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules 1 and 2) is presented for additional analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements, and we are not aware ofany material modifications that should be made to such data.
Respectfully submitted,

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Gainesville College is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The institution, located south of Gainesville, Georgia was founded in 1964 and has become one of the premier two-year colleges in the state, specializing in a strong core curriculum and quality support services and offering Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science degrees. With a second campus south of Athens, Georgia, opening in 2003, the College enjoys both high student satisfaction ratings and high retention rates and has integrated technology into both the curriculum and administrative services. The institution attracts a highly qualified faculty and student body of more than 5,000 students each year. In the fall semester of 2003, the College experienced an unprecedented enrollment growth due primarily to the acquisition of its second campus.

Overview ofthe Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Gainesville College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. 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, Expenses and 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 2003 and fiscal year 2004.

Statement ofNet 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 Gainesville College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-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.

- 1-

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 divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,854,580.07. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that this increase was primarily due to an increase of $739,796.82 in investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation and an increase in current assets of $1,421,674.35. 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.

- 11 -

The total liabilities for the year increased by $247,046.57. The primary increase was in current liabilities, particularly deferred revenue, which reflects the College's increased enrollment for summer semester. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,854,580.07 and the increase in total liabilities of $247,046.57 yields an increase in total net assets of $1,607,533.50. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the categories of invested in capital assets, net of debt, in the amount of$739,796.82 and unrestricted net assets in the amount of$858,931.71. Statement ofRevenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets 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.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,400,749.16. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution and the addition of a small number of new employees.

Utilities increased by $55,651.26 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004 and the additional utilities for the Oconee campus.

Under nonoperating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by $692,276.57. Due to a sluggish economy, a challenge has been created for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Gainesville College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement ofCash Flows
The final statement presented by the Gainesville 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

- Vl -

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 Outlook 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. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will monitor resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. Martha T. Nesbitt, President Gainesville College

GAINESVILLE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004

EXHIBIT "D"

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS Gainesville 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 Gainesville College is one of thirty-four (34) 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 Gainesville 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. Gainesville College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Gainesville 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 Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Gainesville College) is required to implement the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for Foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units of the institution. These statements (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's financial statements. For fiscal year 2004, Gainesville College is reporting the activity for the Gainesville College Foundation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION State of Georgia, the College also adopted GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. 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, cash flows, and replaces the fund group perspective previously required.
(GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to 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 predominate 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.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days - 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fee charges 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 include 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. No provision has been made for uncollectible amounts.
INVENTORIES Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
NONCURRENT CASH AND INVESTMENTS Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
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 $5,000.00 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000.00 and 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 is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Gainesville College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Gainesville College.

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 received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. The liability and expense incurred are recorded at year-end as accrued vacation payable in the Statement of Net Assets, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Gainesville College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $602,704.25 as of July 1, 2003. For fiscal year 2004, $452,552.83 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $494,892.80, for a net decrease of $42,339.97. The ending balance as of June 30, 2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $560,364.28. Compensated absences include a current liability of $399,464.78.
NONCURRENT LIABILITIES Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; and (2) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
NET ASSETS The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the College's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of invested in capital assets, net of related debt. The term "debt obligations" as used in this definition does not include debt of the GSFIC as discussed previously in Note 1 - Capital Assets section.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus) of $816.22. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - Administrative Central Office for remittance to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CLASSIFICATION OF REVENUES The College has classified its revenues as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of scholarship allowances, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of nonexchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
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.

GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Contributions and Vesting Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $79,641.56 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 9: RISK MANAGEMENT
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options - a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Gainesville 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 two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. 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 two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
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. Gainesville 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.

NOTE 9: RISK MANAGEMENT
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 10: CONTINGENCIES
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 expenditures which are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Gainesville College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Gainesville 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 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
NOTE 11: POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION BENEFITS
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, 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 are on a pay as you go basis to finance the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000.00 for basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 87 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Gainesville College recognized as incurred $338,993.81 of expenses, which was net of $104,797.44 of participant contributions.

NOTE 13: COMPONENT UNITS

General Disclosure for Component Units Gainesville College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Gainesville College (College). The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. The thirty-six-member board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests is restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the College, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements.
