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 fmancial 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 opinion. 
As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on a prescribed basis ofaccounting that demonstrates compliance with the budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, which is a comprehensive basis ofaccounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position (statutory basis) ofMiddle Georgia Technical College as ofJune 30, 2001, and the results ofits operations (statutory basis) for the year then ended, on the basis ofaccounting described in Note 1.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
REPORTING ENTITY Middle Georgia Technical College (fonnerly Middle Georgia Technical Institute) is one ofthirty-two (32) State supported member colleges of postsecondary education in Georgia which comprise the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations ofMiddle Georgia Technical College as a separate reporting entity. 
The College's Local Board of Directors is composed of nine (9) members serving staggered threeyear tenns who are appointed by the State Board ofTechnical and Adult Education. Appropriation ofState funds is made to the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education by the General Assembly of Georgia. The Department's Administrative Central Office detennines the amount of State appropriations to be received by Middle Georgia Technical College. The College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Middle Georgia Technical College is considered an organizational unit ofthe Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification ofGovernmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. 
FUND ACCOUNTING Middle Georgia Technical College uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results of its operations detennined in confonnity with accounting practices prescribed or pennitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set ofaccounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with financerelated legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number offunds are maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device used to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. 
Funds and account groups presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows: 
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE 
BUDGET FUND - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Amended Appropriations Act of 2000-2001. This fund also includes operations from various institutional services provided to students, faculty, and/or staffwhich are funded by fees charged to participants that are directly related to, but not necessarily equal to, the cost of service. The Budget Fund is similar in nature to a General Fund as defined in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in that the Budget Fund is used to account for all activities except those required to be accounted for in some other fund.

ACCOUNT GROUPS 
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS - The account group used to account for fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations. Fixed assets purchased are recorded at cost or at estimated historical cost ifhistorical cost is not practically determinable. Donated fixed assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at recorded values. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets. 
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value ofassets or materially extend assets' lives are not included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Material improvements adding to the value or useful life ofassets are included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. 
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT - The account group used to report the noncurrent portions of certain governmental long-term liabilities, such as claims,judgments, and compensated absences, which will be paid from future resources. 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGET FUND 
The Technical College maintains its Budget Fund on a modified cash basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting, receivables and revenues are recorded as follows:

Liabilities and Expenditures are recorded as follows: 
1) When purchase orders or other contractual obligations to procure goods or services have been executed by the Technical College. 
2) Expenditures for travel, utilities and other items not requiring purchase orders are recorded when incurred. 
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balances of the Budget Fund in the accompanying financial statements. 
The modified cash basis ofaccounting is a comprehensive basis ofaccounting otherthan accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, all revenues should be recorded when measurable and available and all expenditures should be recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for certain compensated absences which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable and available financial resources. Additionally, to conform to generally accepted accounting principles immaterial prior period adjustments should be reported as revenues and expenditures, as appropriate. 
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE AGENCY FUNDS 
Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not measure results of operations or have a measurement focus. The modified cash basis of accounting is utilized for recognizing assets and liabilities. 
BUDGET The Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education - Administrative Central Office receives State appropriation allotments and certain Federal funds for the various technical colleges throughout the State. The appropriated budget is adopted at the departmental level and represents appropriations provided by the Amended Appropriations Act of 2000-2001. The budget allocation and disbursement ofthese funds is made to the various technical colleges by the Administrative Central Office. In addition, the technical colleges receive certain Federal funds and other funds directly and include these funds in the budget filed with the Administrative Central Office. 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents include currency on hand and demand deposits with banks and other authorized financial institutions.

INVESTMENTS Investments are defined as those financial instruments with terms in excess ofthree months from the date of purchase and certain other securities held for the production of revenue. Investments are stated at fair value. 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consist ofreimbursements due from Federal, State, local, and private grants and contracts, and other receivables disclosed from information available. 
Accounts receivable (Other) arising from operations are reported at gross value. Based on management's evaluation that amounts uncollectible are not material, no provision has been made for such amounts. 
INVENTORIES Expendable supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time ofpurchase and are not reflected on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis). 
Inventories of goods for resale are recorded as assets at cost at the time of purchase. The College uses the weighted average method in costing-out inventories based on sales. 
RESERVED FUND BALANCE Reserves represent those portions of fund equity not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use. The following is a briefdescription ofthe reserves reflected in the accompanying financial statements: 
FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONTINUATION OF PROGRAM 
The residual portion of Federal financial assistance revenues not yet expended or encumbered. This amount is restricted for expenditure in future years. This accounting treatment differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in that the unearned portion ofFederal financial assistance should be reflected as deferred revenue. 
INVENTORIES Reported inventories (resale), under the consumption method, are offset by a portion of State funds reserved to provide working capital for managing a reasonable level of inventories for resale. 
LIVE WORK PROJECTS In accordance with the Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Section 20-4-14(c), the accumulated balance ofunexpended funds derived from student live work projects. This amount is restricted to expenditures for live work projects or for the benefit of instructional programs at the technical college in subsequent fiscal years.

NOTE 6: RISK MANAGEMENT 
 
Other Risk Management The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State ofGeorgia ofmaking and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects ofaccidental 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 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.

NOTE7: RETIREMENTPLANS 
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 
Plan Description Middle Georgia 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 ofthe State ofGeorgia. 
The benefit structure of ERS is defined by State statute and was significantly modified on July 1, 1982. Unless elected 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. All other members are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions. 
Under both the old plan and new plan, members become vested after 10 years ofcreditable service. A member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 65. If 10 years of service is completed and age 60 is reached, the member may retire with a reduced benefit. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age. 
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 ofTrustees created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP) effective January 1, 1998. The SRBP was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 ofthe Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion ofERS. The purpose ofSRBP is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by ERS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC 415. 
The ERS issues a financial report each fiscal year which may be obtained through ERS. 
Funding Policy As established by State statute, all full-time employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions, who are not members ofother state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The College's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2001, for employees covered by ERS was $966,752.73. The College's total payroll for all employees was $6,509,209.68.

The College also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2001, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted to 14.57% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalfofthe employee under the old plan referred to above.

GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN 
Plan Description Middle Georgia Technical College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a single-employer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. 
Benefits A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment ofage 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board ofTrustees. Ifa member has less than$ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board ofTrustees has the option ofrequiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu ofmaking periodic payments. Upon the death ofa member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
