Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members ofthe Board of Regents ofthe University System of Georgia

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements ofthe governmental activities and the major fund (Exhibits A through G) ofthe Coastal Plain Regional Library as ofand for the year ended June 30, 2004, which collectively comprise the Library's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Coastal Plain 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 Coastal Plain Regional Library, as ofJune 30, 2004, and the respective changes in financial position thereoffor the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2004ARL-41

The Coastal Plain Regional Library has not presented Management's Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has determined is necessary to supplement, although not to be part of, the basic financial statements.
As discussed in Note 2 to the basic financial statements, during fiscal year 2004, the Library completed a comprehensive inventory of its capital assets for inclusion in the basic financial statements. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 2, the Coastal Plain Regional Library has implemented a new financial reporting model as required by provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as of June 30, 2004.
The Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual, as presented on page 19 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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 ofmeasurement and presentation ofthe 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 Coastal Plain Regional Library's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information which consist ofSchedules 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 ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated section 506-24.
Respectfully submitted,

Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Capital Outlays are reported as expenditures in Governmental Funds. However. in the Statement of Activities. the cost of Capital Assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In the current period. these amounts are:

In the Statement of Activities. only the gain on the sale of the library collections is reported. whereas in the Governmental Funds, the entire proceeds from the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balances by the carrying value of the library collections sold.

Some items reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in Governmental Funds. These activities consist of:

Note 1: DESCRIPTION OF LIBRARY AND REPORTING ENTITY
REPORTING ENTITY
The Coastal Plain 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 is comprised of eight members which are also trustees of the member library which appointed them. The Library Board membership consists ofone member appointed from the Victoria Evans Memorial Library Board, one member appointed from the Carrie Dorsey Perry Memorial Library Board, one member appointed from the Cook County Library Board, one member appointed from the Irwin County Library Board and four members appointed from the Tifton-Tift County Library Board. 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 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 of local and other funds for continued operations and is the lowest level ofoversight responsibility for the Library's operations. The Coastal Plain 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 Coastal Plain 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 of Activities 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.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods 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.
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, except for compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
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.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Coastal Plain Regional Library has implemented a new financial reporting model as required by provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments, as of June 30, 2004.

The provisions of GASB Statement No. 34 require the inclusion of a Statement ofNet Assets. The elements comprising Net Assets - Beginning include the following:

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.

INVESTMENTS

COMPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS Investments made by the Library in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates ofdeposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase of one year or less are reported at amortized cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year are reported at fair value. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the Library to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate of return shall be the objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested in the following:

(1) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states,

(2) Obligations issued by the United States government,

(3) Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United States government agency,

(4) Obligations of any corporation of the United States government,

(5) Prime banker's acceptances,

(6) The Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services,

(7) Repurchase agreements, and

(8) Obligations of other political subdivisions of the State of Georgia.

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 ofthe 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:

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Depreciation is used to allocate the actual or estimated historical cost of all capital assets over estimated useful lives.
Note 3: DEPOSITS
COLLATERALIZATION OF DEPOSITS Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 45-8-12 provides that there shall not be on deposit at any time in any depository for a time longer than ten days a sum ofmoney which has not been secured by surety bond, by guarantee of insurance, or by collateral. The aggregate ofthe face value of such surety bond and the market value of securities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent ofthe public funds being secured after the deduction ofthe amount ofdeposit insurance. If a depository elects the pooled method (OCGA 45-8-13.1) the aggregate ofthe market value ofthe securities pledged to secure a pool ofpublic funds shall be not less than 110 percent ofthe daily pool balance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 (b) provides an officer holding public funds may, in his discretion, waive the requirement for security in the case ofoperating funds placed in demand deposit checking accounts.
Acceptable security for deposits consists of any one of or any combination of the following:
(1) Surety bond signed by a surety company duly qualified and authorized to transact business within the State of Georgia,

The Library is exposed to various risks ofloss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors or omissions; job related illness or injuries to employees and acts of God

The Library has obtained commercial insurance for risk ofloss associated with torts and assets. The Library has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Library's insurance coverage in any of the past three years.

The Library has elected to self-insure for all losses related to acts of God. In addition, the Library has elected to self-insure for errors or omissions, which includes, among other risks, risks for sexual harassment and discrimination. The Library has not experienced any losses related to these risks in the past three years.

Note 5: RISK MANAGEMENT

The Library participates in the Association County Commissioners ofGeorgia-SelfInsured Workers' Compensation Fund, a public entity risk pool organized on July 1, 1982 to develop, implement and administer a program of workers' compensation self-insurance for its member organizations. The Library pays an annual premium to the Fund for its general insurance coverage. Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company to provide coverage for potential losses by the Fund in excess of $450,000 loss per occurrence, up to $2,000,000.

The Library has purchased surety bonds to provide additional insurance coverage as follows:

Note 6: LONG-TERM DEBT

COMPENSATED ABSENCES Compensated absences represent obligations ofthe Library relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon service already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulating leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Library uses the vesting method to compute compensated absences.

The changes in Long-Term Debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, were as follows:

Note 7: SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Amounts received or receivable principally from the Federal Government are subject to audit and review by grantor agencies. This could result in requests for reimbursements to the grantor agency for any expenditures which are disallowed under grant terms. The Library believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position.

Note 8: RETIREMENT PLANS

TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (TRS)

TRS PLAN DESCRIPTION Substantially all librarians and clerical personnel employed by regional and county libraries are covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), which is a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan.

The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

TRS CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND MADE Employees ofthe Library who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The Library makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary.
