REPORTING ENTITY Albany Technical College is one of thirty-three (33) State supported member colleges of postsecondary education in Georgia which comprise the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Albany Technical College as a separate reporting entity.
The Technical College's Local Board of Directors is composed of thirteen (13) members serving staggered three-year terms who are appointed by the State Board ofTechnical and Adult Education. Appropriation of State funds is made to the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education by the General Assembly of Georgia. The Department's Administrative Central Office determines the amount of State appropriations to be received by Albany Technical College. The Technical College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Albany Technical College is considered an organizational unit of the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education for financial reporting purposes because of the significance ofits legal, operational, and financial relationships as defined in Section 2100 ofthe Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification ofGovernmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
NET ASSETS The Technical College's net assets are classified as follows:

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent available resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments. These resources will be used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the Technical College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet subsequent fiscal year expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus) of $8,229.17. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Department of Technical and Adult Education for remittance to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services.
NOTE 2: DEPOSITS

Plan Description Albany Technical College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a single-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose ofproviding retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia.

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average ofthe member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months ofsalary, the number ofyears of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Postretirement cost-of-living adjustments are also made to member's benefits. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution ofthe 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.

In addition, the ERS Board of Trustees created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP) effective January 1, 1998.

NOTE 11: RISK MANAGEMENT
Public Entity Risk Pool The Department of Community Health (DCH) administers for the State of Georgia a program of health benefits for the employees of units of government of the State of Georgia, units of county governments, and local education agencies located with the State of Georgia. This plan is funded by participants covered in the plan, by employers' contributions paid by the various units ofgovernment participating in the plan, and appropriations made by the General Assembly of Georgia.

For prescription drug claims, DCH contracted with Express Scripts, Incorporated through December 31, 2007 and contracted with Medco, Incorporated beginning January 1, 2008. All claims are to be processed in accordance with the State Employees' Health Benefit Plan as established by the Department of Community Health.
Other Risk Management The Department ofAdministrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia ofmaking and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects of accidental losses that involve State government assets. The State believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside assets for claim settlement. Accordingly, DOAS processes claims for risk of loss to which the State is exposed, including general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and law enforcement officers' indemnification. Limited amounts of commercial insurance are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. The Technical College, as an organizational unit of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of Georgia risk management program administered by DOAS. Premiums for the risk management program are charged to the various state organizations by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment.
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 expenses which are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenses which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Albany Technical College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Albany Technical College (an organizational unit of the Department of Technical and Adult Education), 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, 2008.
