NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS Georgia Military College (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.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In fiscal year 2014, the College adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. The provisions of this Statement clarify the use of deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflows of resources. Certain items, including those items which were previously reported as assets and liabilities, will now be reported as outflows of resources or inflows of resources. As of June 30, 2014, the College did not have any deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources.
In fiscal year 2014, the College adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 66, Technical Corrections - 2012, an amendment to GASB Statements No. 10 and No. 62. The objective of this Statement is to resolve conflicting guidance by amending GASB Statement No. 10, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Risk Financing and Related Insurance Issues and GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. GASB Statement No. 10 was amended by removing the provision that limited fund based reporting of an entity's risk and financing activities to certain funds. GASB Statement No. 62 was amended by modifying guidance on (1) operating lease payments that vary from a straight-line basis, (2) purchases of a loan or a group of loans, and (3) recognition of servicing fees on mortgage loans that are sold when the stated service fee rate differs from a current (normal) servicing fee rate. The adoption of this statement does not have a significant impact on the College's financial statements.
In fiscal year 2014, the College adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 70, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting requirements for state and local governments that extend or receive financial guarantees that are nonexchange transactions. The adoption of this statement does not have a significant impact on the College's financial statements.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In fiscal year 2015, the College will adopt Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. The provisions of this Statement establish accounting and financial reporting standards for pensions that are provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers through pension plans that are administered through trusts. Implementation of this Statement will require the College to record a liability for its proportionate share of the Net Pension Liability of pension plans in which it participates. Actuarial estimates are currently being made to determine the College's liability, the effects of which are believed to be material.
NET POSITION The College's net position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets: This represents the College's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations and deferred inflows, or resources 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 the net investment in capital assets.
Restricted - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net position 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.
Restricted - expendable: Restricted expendable net position includes resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted: Unrestricted net position represents 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 2: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
DEPOSITS The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.

4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.

Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest and debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

At June 30, 2014, the carrying value of deposits was $7,611,115.82 and the bank balance was $8,094,575.62. Of the College's deposits, $7,658,975.75 was uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $7,658,975.75 was collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the College's name.
INVESTMENTS At June 30, 2014, the carrying value of the College's investment was $1,386,165.26, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Century Bank and Trust Trustee Endowment as follows:

CREDIT QUALITY RISK
Credit Quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. Georgia Military College does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk.
CUSTODIAL CREDIT RISK
Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the College will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The College does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments. At June 30, 2014, $1,386,165.26 of the College's applicable investments was uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty in the College's name.

NOTE 9: LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Georgia Military College is obligated under various operating leases for the use of real property (land, buildings, and office facilities) and equipment, and also is obligated under capital leases and installment purchase agreements for the acquisition of real property and equipment.

CAPITAL LEASES Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between 2014 and 2019. Expenses for fiscal year 2014 were $98,373.18 of which $12,985.01 represented interest. Total principal paid on capital leases was $85,388.17 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Interest rates range from 1.94 percent to 22.49 percent.
OPERATING LEASES Georgia Military College's noncancellable operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to ten years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and office facilities.

Noncancellable operating lease rental expenses in 2014 were $2,783,122.68 for real property and $4,362.91 for office equipment.
NOTE 10: LEASE OBLIGATIONS
FUTURE COMMITMENTS Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2014, were as follows:

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 Employee's 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 10 years of credible service and attainment of age 60 or 30 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 member's 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 the annual compensation up to $4,200 plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, the College pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these 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. The 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 College contributions are not at any time refundable to the member or his/her beneficiary.

Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2014 were based on the June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation as follows:

Old Plan* New Plan GSEPS

18.46% 18.46% 15.18%

*13.71% 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 contribution, 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 pension plan created in 1943 by an act of the General Assembly of Georgia 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 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 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 40 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 30 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 10 years of service. If a member terminates with less than 10 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, 2014 were 6.00% of annual salary. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2013 were 12.28% of annual salary as required and were based on the June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation.

Georgia School Personnel Post-employment Health Benefit Fund
Plan Description. The Georgia School Personnel Post-employment Health Benefit Fund (School OPEB Fund) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan that covers eligible former employees of public school systems, libraries and regional educational service agencies. The School OPEB Fund provided health insurance benefits to eligible former employees and their qualified beneficiaries through the State Employees Health Benefit Plan administered by the Department of Community Health. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the group health plans, including benefits for retirees, to the Board of Community Health (Board). The Department of Community Health, which includes the School OPEB Fund, issues a separate stand-alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.
Funding Policy. The contribution requirements of 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 receiving benefits vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election. For members with fewer than five years of service as of January 1, 2012, contributions also vary based on years of service. On average, members with five years or more of service as of January 1, 2012, pay approximately

25 percent of the cost of health insurance coverage. In accordance with the Board resolution dated December 8, 2011, for members with fewer than five years of service as of January 1, 2012, the State provides a premium subsidy in retirement that ranges from 0% for fewer than 10 years of service to 75% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to active employees) for 30 or more years of service. The subsidy for eligible dependents ranges from 0% to 55% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to dependents of active employees minus 20%). No subsidy is available to Medicare eligible members not enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Option. The Board of Community Health sets all member premiums by resolution and in accordance with the law and applicable revenue and expense projections. Any subsidy policy adopted by the Board may be changed at any time by Board resolution and does not constitute a contract or promise of any amount of subsidy.

Participating employers are statutorily required to contribute in accordance with the employer contribution rates established by the Board. The contribution rates are established to fund all benefits due under the health insurance plans for both active and retired employees based on projected "payas-you-go" financing requirements. Contributions are not based on the actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

The combined active and retiree contribution rates established by the Board for employers participating in the School OPEB Funds were as follows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014:

For certificated teachers, librarians and regional educational service agencies and certain other eligible participants:

July 2013 - June 2014

$945.00 per member per month

For noncertificated school personnel:

July 2013 - June 2014

$596.20 per member per month

No additional contribution was required by the College for fiscal year 2014 nor contributed to the School OPEB fund to prefund retiree benefits. Such additional contribution amounts are determined annually by the board in accordance with the School plan for other post-employment benefits and are subject to appropriation.

State Employees' Assurance Department
SEAD-OPEB and SEAD-Active are cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment plans that were created in fiscal year 2007 by the Georgia General Assembly to provide term life insurance to eligible members of the ERS, Georgia Judicial Retirement System (JRS), and Legislative Retirement System (LRS). SEAD-OPEB provides benefits for retired and vested inactive members, and SEAD-Active provides benefits for active members. Effective July 1, 2009, no newly hired members of any State public retirement system are eligible for term line insurance under SEAD. Pursuant to Title 47 of the OCGA, benefit provisions of the plans were established and can be amended by State statute.
Contributions by plan members are established by the ERS Board of Trustees, up to the maximum allowed by statute (not to exceed 0.5% of earnable compensation). The ERS Board of Trustees establishes employer contribution rates, such rates which, when added to members' contributions shall not exceed 1% of earnable compensation. Contributions for fiscal year 2014 were based on June 30, 2011 actuarial valuations as follows:

The ERS Board of Trustees voted and approved that the SEAD-OPEB contribution would be paid from existing assets of the Survivors Benefit Fund (SBF) instead of requiring payment by the employers. The contributions by SBF made on-behalf of the College for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were estimated to be $272.27 and $569.13, respectively. There were no required employer contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
