INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements (Exhibits A throughD) ofSwainsboro Technical College, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Technical College's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Technical College's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of Swainsboro Technical College are intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows ofonly that portion of the business-type activities of the State of Georgia that is attributable to the transactions of Swainsboro Technical College. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial
08ARL-2TC

position and changes in financial position and cash flows ofthe State ofGeorgia, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Swainsboro Technical College as of June 30, 2008, and its changes in financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica.
Management's Discussion and Analysis is not a required part ofthe basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally ofinquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of this supplementary information. However, we did not audit this information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose offorming an opinion on the basic financial statements of Swainsboro Technical College taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules 1 through 4) is presented for purposes ofadditional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 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.
Respectfully submitted,
~ .m \C. ~

REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Swainsboro Technical College Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following is management's discussion and analysis of Swainsboro Technical College's financial performance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 with comparative data from fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. This discussion has been prepared by and is the responsibility of management.
Overview ofthe Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
There are three financial statements presented: the Statement of Net Assets; the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets; and the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Net Assets used in conjunction with the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets contains information concerning the Technical College's finances and activities as a whole and assists with providing an answer to the question "Is the Technical College as a whole better or worse off as a result of the year's activities?" These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting method used by corporations and other private sector companies. All revenues and assets are recognized when the service is provided and expenses and liabilities are recognized when others provide the goods or service, regardless of when cash is exchanged.
The Statement of Cash Flows is a valuable tool when evaluating the ability of the Technical College to meet financial obligations as they mature. This statement presents information related to cash inflows and outflows summarized by operating, noncapital financing, capital and related financing and investing activities.
This discussion and analysis of the Technical College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year.
Statement ofNet Assets
The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the users of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of the Technical College at a specific point in time. The statement presents the assets, liabilities and net assets of the Technical College as of the end of the fiscal year. Assets and liabilities are reported as current and noncurrent and the difference between assets and liabilities is reported as net assets. Over a period of time the increases and decreases reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, when considered with other nonfinancial facts such as enrollment levels and the condition of the facilities, can provide a measure to aid in determining whether the Technical College's financial position is improving or deteriorating.
Net assets are divided into two major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of related debt, provides information concerning the Technical College's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the Technical College. The second category is unrestricted net
-I-

assets, which are available for expenditure by the Technical College for any lawful purpose deemed necessary to operate the Technical College.

Total Net Assets

$==~6,~82~0

The total assets of the Technical College decreased by approximately $171,000 from the prior year. This can be mainly attributed to a decrease of approximately $133,000 in noncurrent assets. This overall decrease in noncurrent assets and in total assets of approximately 2% is very small and is a result of depreciation increasing a little more than capital asset increases from new purchases. The institutional philosophy is to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the Technical College to better serve the instruction and public service missions of the Technical College.

Total liabilities for the fiscal year increased by approximately $180,000, primarily from an increase in Accounts Payable and in Compensated Absences. Accounts Payable versus Encumbrance Payable is a timing issue that can be affected by when the invoice is received and when the encumbrance is converted to a payable. Encumbrances are removed for GAAP reporting. The Accounts Payable amount can fluctuate among fiscal years depending on the timing of the receipt and invoicing of year-end purchases. Such purchases if not received and/or not invoiced as of fiscal year-end remain in Encumbrance Payable and are removed from GAAP statements. Compensated absences will increase as long as employees remain loyal to the Technical College and are employed for many years with their compensated absences balances steadily increasing. The combination of the decrease in total assets of approximately $171,000 and the increase in total liabilities of approximately $180,000 yields a decrease in total net assets of approximately $351,000.

Statement ofRevenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

The purpose of the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets is to present the revenues received by the Technical College, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses incurred by the Technical College, operating and nonoperating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the Technical College during the fiscal year. Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the information presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.

Operating revenues are received for providing goods and/or services to various customers and constituencies of the Technical College. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and/or services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the Technical College. Therefore, nonoperating revenue is received when no goods or services are provided in exchange for the revenue. With the issuance of Statement No. 35, new guidelines were established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which changed the classifications of state appropriations and gifts from operating to nonoperating revenue. This change may result in an operating deficit that is offset by a nonoperating surplus.

The sources of operating revenue for the Technical College are tuition and fees, grants and contracts, and educational activities. The increase in operating revenue of approximately $109,000 is primarily related to increases in Federal Grants and Contracts Revenue of approximately $56,000 and in Sales and Services Revenue of approximately $54,000 for fiscal year 2008.
Operating expenses increased by approximately $771,000 that is primarily due to the following:
Utilities increased by approximately $8,000 during the past year.
Scholarships and fellowships increased by approximately $58,000.
Personal Services expenses increased by approximately $272,000. This increase reflects an annual pay raise for Technical College employees of approximately 3%. The associated fringe benefits increased approximately $324,000, primarily because of the percentage increase for the employer portion ofhealth costs from 16.713% to 22.843%.
Depreciation expense increased by approximately $71,000.
Under nonoperating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by approximately $537,000. While it appears that the Technical College received additional new money from the State, given the mandatory cost increases of various expense categories, the Technical College actually had a relatively flat funding year when all things are considered.
Statement ofCash Flows
The purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows is to provide relevant information concerning the cash receipts and payments of the Technical College during the year. It also provides information concerning the Technical College's ability to generate future cash flows and to meet its obligations as they come due. The statement is divided into five sections. The first section reports on the operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the Technical College. The second section reflects cash flows from noncapital financing activities. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities, which reflects the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. 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.

An overall decrease occurred in net assets of $133,415 due to total depreciation expense exceeding capital asset purchases by $126,146. Depreciation expense exceeded that from the prior fiscal year by $71,108. An HVAC project that was completed as of February 1, 2007 accounted for $22,527 of the increase in depreciation expense.

Long-Term Liability

Swainsboro Technical College had a total Long-Term Liability of $513,747.70 of which $254,176.51 was reflected as a current liability at June 30, 2008.

For additional information on Long-Term Liability see Notes 1 and 6 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Economic Outlook

The Technical College is unaware of any currently known fact, decision, or condition that is expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or change how the Technical College operates for the next fiscal year. As in prior years, the Technical College's overall financial position is strong. The Technical College anticipates the next fiscal year will be much like the last and the Technical College will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY Swainsboro 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 ofthe State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Swainsboro Technical College as a separate reporting entity.
The Technical College's Local Board of Directors is composed of nine (9) 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 of Technical and Adult Education by the General Assembly of Georgia. The Department's Administrative Central Office determines the amount ofState appropriations to be received by Swainsboro Technical College. The Technical College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Swainsboro Technical College is considered an organizational unit ofthe 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.
Legally separate, tax exempt organizations whose activities primarily support member colleges of postsecondary education in Georgia which comprise the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education (an organizational unit ofthe State ofGeorgia), are considered potential component units of the State. See Note 15 for additional information.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the Technical College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund group perspective previously required.
GAAP requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be split between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to lack of materiality, the Technical Colleges of the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education will continue to report summer revenues and expenses in the year in which the predominate activity takes place.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING For financial reporting purposes, the Technical College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the Technical College's financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except as noted in the preceding paragraph. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred. All significant intra-college transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Technical College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The Technical College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents include petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consist oftuition and fee charges to students, allotments due from the Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education - Administrative Central Office, reimbursements due from Federal, State, local, and private grants and contracts, and other receivables disclosed from information available. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
CAPITAL ASSETS Capital assets are recorded at cost at date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of capital contribution. The Technical College capitalizes all land and land improvements. For equipment, the Technical College's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000.00 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Buildings and Building Improvements, Improvements Other Than Buildings and Library Collections that exceed $100,000.00 or significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. For infrastructure, the Technical College's capitalization threshold is $1,000,000.00. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense in the year in which the expense was incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ofthe assets, generally 10 to 40 years for buildings, 15 to 25 years for infrastructure, 15 years for improvements other than buildings, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 10 years for equipment.
To fully portray capital assets acquired by the Technical Colleges of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) - an organization that is external to both the Technical College and the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education. The GSFIC issues bonds for and on behalf of the State of Georgia, pursuant to powers granted to it in the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Act creating the GSFIC. The bonds are issued for the purpose of acquiring capital assets and this debt constitutes direct and general obligations of the State of Georgia, to the payment of which the full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are pledged.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CAPITAL ASSETS For major construction projects, GSFIC records construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and at project completion transfers the entire project costs to Swainsboro Technical College to be recorded as an asset on the Technical College's books. For the year ended June 30, 2008, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Swainsboro Technical College.
DEFERRED REVENUES Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and other activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES Employee vacation pay is accrued for financial statement purposes when vested. The liability and expense incurred are recorded at year-end as accrued vacation payable in the Statement of Net Assets, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Swainsboro Technical College had an accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $443,563.69 as of July 1, 2007. For fiscal year 2008, $352,211.71 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $282,027.70, for a net increase of$70,184.01. The ending balance as ofJune 30, 2008 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $513,747.70.
NONCURRENT LIABILITIES Noncurrent liabilities include liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year.
NET ASSETS The Technical College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net ofrelated debt: This amount represents the Technical College's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of invested in capital assets, net of related debt. (The term "debt obligations" as used in this definition does not include debt of the GSFIC as discussed above.)
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 $251.14. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Department of Technical and Adult Education for remittance to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

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

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 of creditable 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 of salary, 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. The SRBP was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the 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.
