The sources of operating revenue for the College are tmtlon and fees. grants and contracts, aux1hary services. and educat10nal ac11v1nes The operating loss 1s directly related to the exclusion of the State of Georgia appropnat10n in the amount of $9,080,429 from operating revenues per GASB 35 
 
Tuition increased by $515,149 Tlus increase 1s directly related to the increased enrollment of 18% from fiscal year 200 I 
 
Personal Serv1ces expenses increased by approximately $900,000 This increase reflects an annual pay raise for College employees of approximately 4 5% with the associated fnnge benefits It also reflects an increased cost to the College for add1t10nal positions reqmred for the operat10n of the new Murphy Campus in Haralson County 
 
The cumulative effects of changes in accounting pnnc1ple are the result of the College adopting deprec1at1on on capital assets and changing from the budgetary basis to the GAAP basis of accounting

 Under nonoperating revenues (expenses) state appropnat1ons increased by approximately S453,297 While 11 appears that the College received add1t1onal new money from the state, given the mandatory cost increases of vanous expense categones related to the opening of the new Murphy Campus, the College actually had a relatively flat funding year when all things are considered 
 
Statement ofCash Flows 
 
The purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows 1s to provide relevant information concemmg the cash receipts and payments of the College dunng the year It also provides information concemmg the College's ab1hty to generate future cash flows and to meet its obhgat1ons as they come due The statement 1s d1V1ded into three sections The first section reports on the operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating act1v1tJes of the College The second section shows the cash flows from the nonoperatJng act1v1t1es of the College The final section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

 Economic Outlook The College 1s unaware of any currently known fact, dec1s1on, or cond11Ion that 1s expected to have a s1gmficant effect on the financial pos1uon or change how the College operates for the next fiscal year As in pnor years, the College's overall financial pos11Ion 1s strong Enrollment has increased by over 17% armually for the past three years, and this trend 1s expected to continue into the next fiscal year. As a result, the College anuc1pates the next fiscal year will be much hke the last, and the College will mamtain a close watch over resources to mamtam the ab1 h ty to react to unknown mternal and external issues

West Central Techmcal College 1s considered an organ1zat1onal W11t ofthe Georgia Department ofTechmcal and Adult Education for fmancial reportmg purposes because of the s1gn1ficance of!ls legal, operational, and financial relationships as defmed m Scct10n 2100 ofthe Governmental Accountmg Standards Board (GASB) Cod1ficat1on ofGovernmental Accountmg and Fmanc1al Reporting Standards 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION In JW1e 1999, the GASB issued Statement No 34, Basic Financial Statement~ and Management Discussion and Ana(vs1sfor State and Local Governments Tlus was followed m November 1999 by GASB Statement No 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's D1scusszon and Analysis for Public Colleges and Unzversllles The State of Georgia 1s required to implement GASB No 34 as of and for the year ended JW1e 30, 2002 As an organizational WlII of the State of Georgia, the Techmcal College 1s also reqmred to adopt GASB Statements No 34 and No 35 as amended by GASB Statements No 37 and No 38 The financial statement presentation reqmrcd by these standards provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the Techmcal College's assets, hab1ht1es. net assets, revenues, expenses, changes m net assets, cash flows. and replaces the fund group perspective previously requrred 
The Techmcal College has elected to not restate its 2001 financial statements to conform with the new financial statement presentation, therefore comparative fmanc1al mformauon will not be presented for fiscal year 2002 S1gn1ficant accoW1tmg changes made m order to comply WIth the new reqmrements mclude (I) adoption of depreciation on capital assets, and (2) recogmuon of compensated absences Also, generally accepted accoW1tmg pnnc1ples (GAAP) requires that the reportmg of summer school revenues and expenses be spill between fiscal years rather than m one fiscal year However, because the effect ofth1s change 1s not matenal, the Techmcal Colleges ofthe Georgia Department ofTechmcal and Adult Education will contmue to report summer revenues and expenses m the year m which the predommate activity takes place
