ResCricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the
College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the Gainesville State 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 $38,732.79. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the Office of State Treasurer.

NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS
Gainesville State 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 Gainesville State 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' Retirement System 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

GAINESVILLE STATE COLLEGE SELECTED FINANCIAL NOTES
JUNE 30, 2011

EXHIBIT " D

NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS
Employees' Retirement System of Georgia 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.
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 4 1 5 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 60 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 24 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, Gainesville State College pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these Gainesville State 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. Gainesville State College is required to

NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia 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 Gainesville State 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

Members become vested after 10 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

Teachers RetirementSystem of Georgia

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 1 0 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.

The following table summarizes the Gainesville State College contributions by defined benefit plan for the years ending June 30,2011, June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009 (dollars in thousands):

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 47-21-1 et.seq. and administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Gainesville State College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2011, the employer contribution was 9.24% for the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5%of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.

NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS
Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description Gainesville State College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a single-employer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
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 one-half 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 $133,749 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 10: POST-EMPLOYMENTBENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION 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 UniversitySystem of Georgia define

GAINESVILLE STATE COLLEGE SELECTED FINANCIAL NOTES
JUNE 30,2011
NOTE 10: POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION BENEFITS
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 University System 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 2009 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 116 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, Gainesville State College recognized as incurred $490,085 of expenditures, which was net of $193,884 of participant contributions.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 3 0 . 2 0 1 1
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND OUESTIONED COSTS
No matters were reported.
FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND OUESTIONED COSTS
No matters were reported.
OTHER ITEMS (NOTED FOR MANAGEMENT'S CONSIDERATION)
During fiscal year 2010 the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) project J145 was changed from being a campus managed project to a GSFIC managed project. Gainesville State College was instructed by the Board of Regents central office to remove all activity associated with this project. This decision was made after the fiscal year 2010 general ledger was closed so post-closing entries were required on the fiscal year 2010 Annual Financial Report (AFR). The College actually removed this activity on the fiscal year 2 0 1 1 general ledgers and was reported as negative Capital Gifts on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets within the fiscal year 2 0 1 1 AFR presented for review. The 2 0 1 1 AFR should have been manually adjusted because the activity had previously been removed on the 2010 AFR. Adjustments to the 2 0 1 1 AFR were proposed and accepted to correct the presentation.
