Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, and the major fund (Exhibits A through G) of the Bartram Trail Regional Library as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the Library's basic financial statements as listed in the table ofcontents. These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Bartram Trail Regional Library's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position ofthe governmental activities and the major fund ofthe Bartram Trail Regional Library, as of June 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2006ARL-41

Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule ofRevenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual, as presented on pages i through v and page 15 are not a required part ofthe basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Bartram Trail Regional Library's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information which consist of Schedules 2 through 5, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy of this report has been filed as a permanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press of the State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 50-6-24.

BARTRAM TRAIL REGIONAL LIBRARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
Management's discussion and analysis of the financial performance of the Bartram Trail Regional Library (the "Library") is intended to provide readers of the Library's financial statements with an overview of the Library's financial activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Please read it in conjunction with the Library's financial statements, which follow this section.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Library's basic financial statements. The Library's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements and Financial Analysis.
The Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Library's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the Library's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Library is improving or deteriorating. Such change may result from many factors, including those not under the Library's control, such as the facility conditions, required programs, funding reductions, and other causes.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the Library's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Net assets increase when revenues exceed expenses. Increase to assets without a corresponding increase to liabilities results in increased net assets, which indicates an improved financial position. Net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of the Library's financial position. At the close of fiscal year 2006, the Library's net assets totaled $486,846.
Fund Financial Statements: A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Library uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Library are considered governmental funds.

BARTRAM TRAIL REGIONAL LIBRARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Governmental Funds: are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the Government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the Government-wide financial statements, these fund statements are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements. The General Fund is the Library's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the Library.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and fund financial statements.

The perspective of the Statement of Net Assets is of the Library as a whole. Table 1 provides a summary of the Library's net assets for fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005.

State funding comprised 43.3% of the Library's total revenue for fiscal year 2006. Local Funds for Regional Services were $317,973 in fiscal year 2006. This represents only an increase of $76,288 over the previous year. Local Funds comprise 49.9% of Library revenues. Federal Revenues comprise 0.9% of Library revenues. Other revenues are those that are self-generated. Fines, fees for lost books, donations, investment earnings and other miscellaneous revenue totaled $37,855 in fiscal year 2006, as compared to $47,006 in fiscal year 2005. This is largely due to decreased in cash donations. Self-generated revenues comprised 5.9% of Library revenues in fiscal year 2006.

BARTRAM TRAIL REGIONAL LIBRARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

The net change in fund balance for the Library's General Fund was an increase from the prior year in the amount of $7,901. This increase was due to actual expenditures being less than the approved budget while revenues remained essentially as anticipated. The Library managed to decrease personnel costs by multi-tasking staff and by leaving some vacant positions unfilled. Additional savings were accomplished by reducing general operating expenditures. The Library did not have to use fund balance to cover actual expenditures as originally budgeted.

There was a decrease in the level of the State Revenue Funds from the prior year. State Funds were $320,405 in fiscal year 2005, and $275,736 in fiscal year 2006. The State Revenue Funds include state grants to be used in specific amounts for Personnel, Materials, and System Support Services (formerly Maintenance and Operations), as well as Federal funds designated for special projects. The Library expends all State and Federal Funds by year-end or other designated funding period, since these funds must be returned if not used.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget

The Library's financial position for next year is expected to remain stable. State Grant Funds are expected to increase due to State Legislative approvals for increases in salaries and materials. Local funding agencies are expected to match at least the level of funding from the previous year. Preliminary budget information forecasts approximately a 5.0% increase for fiscal year 2007. There are no currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the Library's financial position (net assets) or results of operations (revenues, expenses, and other changes in net assets).

Capital Assets

At the end of 2006, the Library had $178,387 in capital assets net of accumulated depreciation. This included equipment and Library collections. Additions to capital assets during 2006 included only additions to the Library collections.

Note 1: DESCRIPTION OF LIBRARY AND REPORTING ENTITY
REPORTING ENTITY
The Bartram Trail Regional Library (Library) operates pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 20-5-40 through 20-5-59 to provide public library services with costs shared by participating local governmental agencies and grants from the State of Georgia.
The Library Board consists of nine members; three members appointed by Mary Willis Library, three members appointed by Taliaferro County Library and three members appointed by ThomsonMcDuffie County Library. The Library Board is without authority to determine the amount of its funding, except by submission of budget requests to local governmental units from which the Library receives support and to the State of Georgia for State and Federal flow through funding. Membership in the Library and participation in library services is at the discretion of each participating governmental agency. The Library Board has the power to designate management, the power to retain unreserved fund balances oflocal and other funds for continued operations and is the lowest level of oversight responsibility for the Library's operations. The Bartram Trail Regional Library is therefore determined to be a joint venture.
Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Library's basic financial statements are collectively comprised of the Library-wide financial statements, fund financial statements and notes to the basic financial statements ofthe Bartram Trail Regional Library.
Library-wide Statements: The Statement ofNet Assets and the Statement ofActivities display information about the financial activities ofthe overall Library. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions.
The Statement ofActivities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the Library's governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses (expenses of the Library related to the administration and support ofthe Library's programs, such as office and maintenance personnel and accounting) are not allocated to programs.
Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients ofgoods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the Library's funds. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds.
The Library reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund is the Library's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the Library.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The basis ofaccounting determines when transactions are reported on the financial statements. The Library-wide governmental financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the Library gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include grants and donations. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The Library uses funds 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.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis ofaccounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The Library considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Interest is considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
The Library funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program costs are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the Library's policy to first apply grant resources to such programs, followed by cost-reimbursement grants, then general revenues.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 authorize the Library to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks or insured Federal savings and loan associations.

RECEIVABLES

Receivables consist ofamounts due from grant reimbursements due on Federal, State or other grants for expenditures made but not reimbursed and other receivables disclosed from information available. Receivables are recorded when either the asset or revenue recognition criteria has been met. Receivables recorded on the basic financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.

CAPITAL ASSETS

Capital assets purchased, including capital outlay costs, are recorded as expenditures in the fund financial statements at the time ofpurchase. On the Library-wide financial statements, all purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost based on appraisals or deflated current replacement cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at depreciated recorded cost. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of assets or materially extend the useful lives of the assets is not capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.

Capitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the Library-wide statements are as follows:
