NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGN1FlCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS Georgia Military 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 Georgia Military College was created as a public authority and is an instrumentality of the State of Georgia and a public corporation. The Board of Trustees is composed of the Mayor of the City of Milledgeville and six additional members, one of which shall be elected for each of the six municipal voting districts of the City of Milledgeville. The government, control and management of Georgia Military College shall be vested in the Board of Trustees. Georgia Military College shall receive any designated funds appropriated by the General Assembly through the State Board of Regents. In order to incur debt, the Board of Trustees must first receive permission from the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, as required for all State authorities. Accordingly, Georgia Military College is considered a component unit of the State of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the State of Georgia. These reporting entity relationships are defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
N ET ASSETS The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital asseh, 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.
RestriLt.net asse& - 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 44-15-7of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Unrestridednet 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. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

NOTE 10: RETIREMENT PLANS
Georgia Military 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 Georgia Military 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 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 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.

JUNE 30, 2011
EXHIBIT "D"
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 25 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, Georgia Military College pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these Georgia Military 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. Georgia Military 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 Georgia Military 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 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.
GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE SELECTED FINANCIAL NOTES

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 2 5 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 6 0 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 lump-sum 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.

Georgia Retiree Health Benefit Fund The Georgia Retiree Health Benefit Fund (GRHBF) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan that covers retired employees of the State including all departments, agencies and local school systems. GRHBF provides health insurance benefits to eligible retirees and their qualified beneficiaries through the health insurance plan for State employees. The Official Code of Georgia annotated (OCGA) assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the employees' health insurance plan (including benefits for retirees) to the Board of Community Health (Board).
The contribution requirements of the plan members and participating employers are established by the Board in accordance with the current Appropriations Act and may be amended by the Board. Contributions of plan members or beneficiaries vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election. On average, plan members pay approximately 25 percent of the cost of health insurance coverage.
Participating employers are statutorily required to contribute in accordance with the employer contribution rates established by the Board. The contribution rate is established to fund both the active and retired employee health insurance plans based on projected "pay-as-you-go" financing requirements. The combined rates for the active and retiree plans for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, were as follows:
Certified Emplovees
July 2 0 1 0 -April 2 0 1 1 May 2 0 1 1-July 2 0 1 1

$162.72 per employee/per month for August - December coverage
$218.20 per employee/per month for January May coverage $246.20 per employee/per month for June -July coverage
No additional contribution was required by the Board for fiscal year 2 0 1 1 nor contributed to GRHBF to prefund retiree benefits. Such additional contribution amounts are determined annually by the Board in accordance with the State plan for other post-employment benefits and are subject to appropriation.

The Boards of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System establish employer contribution rates, such rates which, when added to members' contributions, shall not exceed 1%of earnable compensation. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, contributions of ERS "old plan" members were 0.45% of earnable compensation, 0.22% of which was paid by the employer. Contributions of ERS "new plan" members were 0.23% of earnable compensation. There were no employer annual required contributions (ARC) for the fiscal years ended June 30,2011, June 30,2010, and June 30,2009.
NOTE 12: 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 Georgia Military College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Military College, 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, 2011.
During fiscal year 2002, upon advice of the Attorney General's Office, Georgia Military College required that full-time employees participate in Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. Previously, participation was elective by full-time employees. As a result of that change, a number of former fulltime employees and "constructively qualified" faculty members were eligible to "purchase" prior service credit (based on employment at Georgia Military College) in Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, and Georgia Military College became responsible for its share of the purchase. For fiscal year 2011, Georgia Military College's potential liability for its share of the purchase has been estimated at $626,843.51.
