Letter of Transmittal

DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
It is a pleasure to present the 1995 Annual Report on the systems and programs administered by the Employees' Retirement System (ERS). By statute, the staff of the Employees' Retirement System administers seven separate and distinct systems/programs: the Employees' Retirement System, the Public School Employees' Retirement System, the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund, the Legislative Retirement System, the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan, the State Employees' Assurance Department, commonly known as the Group Term Life Insurance Program, and State Social Security contracts with political subdivisions.
This report includes the following:
letters from our actuary, Buck Consultants, Inc., on the funding of the retirement systems and the Group Term Life Insurance Program with highlights from the most recent valuation of each system,
an investment report, including a listing of the Pooled Investment Fund Portfolio,
the auditor's report from Deloitte & Touche,
a synopsis of legislation affecting the retirement systems passed by the 1995 General Assembly.

Educational Programs Since 1970, we have offered a PreRetirement Program in the Atlanta area for prospective retirees of ERS who are within five years of retirement eligibility. In recent years the program was expanded to include mid-career and younger employees. The programs are now called Series I, Series II, and Series III. With this expansion, ERS now offers educational planning for all members of the system. The seminars provide exploration and discussion of topics such as retirement, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, estate planning, and wills. Classes are coordinated and conducted by our staff with outside resource people.
Investments During Fiscal Year 1995, investments of the "Pooled Investment Fund" (including funds of Employees' Retirement System, the Public School Employees Retirement System, the Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund, the Legislative Retirement System, the District Attorneys Retirement Fund/System, the Superior Court Judges Retirement Fund/System, and the State Employees Assurance Department) continued to grow. Investment assets increased by 10.3% . The fiscal yearend book value of the fund was $6,126,702,000.

Letter of Transmittal
Investment income was $538,865,000 resulting in a return on the average investment for the period of 9.22%.
The investment status of ERS is excellent. The very high quality of the fund's investments is in keeping with the continued policy of "Conservatism" and "Preservation of Capital." The return on investments is well in excess of actuarial requirements.
We hope you find this report informative. It is intended as a basis for making management decisions and for determining responsible stewardship for the assets contributed by the retirement systems' members and their employees. It is distributed to all employers as our link between the retirement systems and our membership.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Boards of Trustees for their leadership. We appreciate the support of Governor Miller, the Legislature, and departmental officials. With this continued interest and support, and the diligence of our staff, we can assure our members and retirees that we will continue to maintain a successful operation that provides protection and financial soundness to the retirement system.

Legislation

The following is a brief synopsis of legislation enacted during the 1995 session of the General Assembly having an effect on the systems administered by the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) and/or their members. The laws were effective July 1, 1995.
Act 0259 (H.B. 136) - (All retirement systems) Requires the State Auditor to provide an actuarial investigation for a reduction in cost amendment to a retirement bill having a fiscal impact. Also provides that fiscal retirement bills amended so as to reduce the fiscal impact shall be funded at the reduced cost.
Act 0378 (H.B. 137) - This bill provides that ERS shall administer the Superior Count Judges Retirement Fund, the Superior Court Judges Retirement System, the District Attorneys' Retirement Fund, and the District Attorneys' Retirement System.

Act 0271 (H.B. 327) - (All retirement systems) The maximum compensation used in computing employee and employer contributions to, or benefits due from, any public retirement plan shall be the maximum compensation set forth in Section 401 (a)( 17) of the IRC as now or hereafter amended for new members of the system on and after January 1, 1996. [This law was enacted to comply with IRC regulations. The cap at that time will be $150,000 and will be indexed in future years.]
Act 0337 - (H.B. 662) - Amends the section dealing with the ERS Board's authority to make investments to allow investments in other countries in a corporation that has a market capitalization equivalent to $100 million, provided the Board shall not invest more than 5% of its portfolio in foreign investments.

Act 0261 (H.B. 139) - Provides that no evidence of a disability shall be considered by ERS's medical board unless it is submitted within 12 months of the date the member submits his/her firs_t application for a disability retirement.

Attention: Mr. Rudolph Johnson, Director
Gentlemen:
Section 47-2-26 of the Code of Georgia which governs the operation of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia provides that the actuary shall make periodic valuations of the contingent assets and liabilities of the Retirement System on the basis of regular interest and the table last adopted by the Board of Trustees. We have submitted the report giving the results of the valuation of the System prepared as of June 30, 1994. The report indicates that annual employer contributions at the rate of 10.64% of compensation for Old Plan members and 15.64% for New Plan members are sufficient to support the basic benefits of the System as in effect in 1995.
The System is funded on an actuarial reserve basis. The actuarial assumptions used are in the aggregate reasonably related to the experience under the System and to reasonable expectations of anticipated experience under the System. The valuation method used in the most recent valuation is the entry age normal cost method. Gains and losses are reflected in-the unfunded accrued liability which is being amortized by regular contributions within a 20-year period.
On the basis of the recommended contribution rate, the Retirement System is being funded in
on conformity with the minimum funding standard set forth in Code Section 47-20-10 of the Public
Retirement Systems Standards Law. In our opinion the System is operating an actuarially sound basis and the sufficiency of the retirement funds to provide the benefit called for by the System may be safely anticipated.

Attention: Mr. Rudolph Johnson, Director
Gentlemen:
Section 47-4-60 of the law governing the operation of the Georgia Public School Employees' Retirement System provides that the employer contributions toward the cost of the System shall be actuarially determined and approved by the Board. We have submitted the report giving the results of the valuation of the System prepared as of June 30, 1994. The report indicates that an annual employer contribution at the rate of $448.42 per active member is sufficient to support the benefits of the System as in effect in 1995.
The System is funded on an actuarial reserve basis. The actuarial assumptions used are in the aggregate reasonably related to the experience under the System and to reasonable expectations of anticipated experience under the System. The valuation method used in the most recent valuation is the entry age normal cost method. Gains and losses are reflected in the unfunded accrued liability which is being amortized by regular contributions within a 20-year period.

Attention: Mr. Rudolph Johnson, Director
Gentlemen:
Chapters 47-2 and 47-19 of the Code of Georgia which govern the operation of the Georgia Employees' Group Term Life Insurance Plan provide that the actuary shall make periodic valuations of the contingent assets and liabilities of the Insurance Plan on the basis of regular interest and the tables last adopted by the Board of Trustees. We have submitted the report giving the results of the valuation of the Plan prepared as of June 30, 1993. The report indicates that the Plan is in close actuarial balance. Combined employer and employee contributions at the rate of 0.50% of salary are sufficient to support the benefits of the Plan.
The Plan is funded on an actuarial reserve basis. The actuarial assumptions used are in the aggregate reasonably related to the experience under the Plan and to reasonable expectations of anticipated experience under the Plan. In our opinion the Plan is operating on an actuarially sound basis and the sufficiency of the funds to provide the benefits called for by the Plan may be safely anticipated.

Independent Audrtors' Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Trustees of Employees' Retirement System of Georgia:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (the "System"), including all funds administered by the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related combined statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund balance for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the System's, management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, including all funds administered by the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia, as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the combined results of their operations for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole. The required supplementary information and additional information for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 listed in the Table of Contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial statements. This required supplementary information and additional information is the responsibility of the System's management. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

1. GENERAL

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (''ERS") is a single-employer, public employee retirement system. ERS is also the administrator of the following three retirement funds (the "System"):

a. Public School Employees Retirement System ("PSERS") - single employer;

b. Legislative Retirement System ("LRS") - single employer;

c. Trial Judges and Solicitors Retirement Fund ("TJSRF") - multiple employer cost-sharing.

The accompanying combined financial statements, in addition to including the accounts of the foregoing retirement systems and funds, include the accounts of the State Employees' Assurance Department ("SEAD") and the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan ("GDCP") which also are administered by ERS. All significant accounts and transactions among the systems and funds have been eliminated.

The System has developed criteria to determine whether other entities should be included within its financial reporting entity. The criteria include, but are not limited to, whether the System exercises oversight responsibility on financial interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations, accountability for fiscal matters, scope of public service, and special financing arrangements. Based on these criteria, the System has not included any other entities in its financial statements. ERS is a component unit of the State of Georgia.

2. AUTHORIZING LEGISLATION AND PLAN DESCRIPTIONS

Each fund, including benefit and contribution provisions, was established by State law. The following summarizes authorizing legislation of the System and the plan description of each retirement fund:

a. ERS is a defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembl)' during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees and has the powers and privileges of a corporation.

Membership - As of June 30, 1995, membership data relating to ERS is as follows:

Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits
Active plan participants Inactive

18,901
73,298 24,925

117,124

- 31 -

Benefits - The benefit structure of ERS was significantly modified on July I, 1982. Unless the employee elects otherwise, an employee who currently maintains membership with ERS based upon State employment that started prior to July I, 1982 is an "old plan" member subject to the plan provision in effect prior to July I, 1982. All other members are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions.

Under both the old and new plans, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of IO years creditable service and attainment of age 65. If IO years of service is completed and age 60 is reached, the member may retire with a reduced benefit. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for retirement after 30 years of service regardless of age.

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon the monthly average of the member's highest eight consecutive calendar quarters multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. Postretirement cost-of-living adjustments are also made to members' benefits. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the 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.

Contributions and Vesting - Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation up to $4,200 plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, the State pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these State contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes. Member contributions under the new plan are 1.25% of annual compensation. The State is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation.

Members become vested after IO years of creditable service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.

The employer contributions are projected to liquidate the unfunded actuarial accrued liability within 20 years based upon the actuarial valuation at June 30, 1994.

b. PSERS is a defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1969 for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for public school employees who are not eligible for membership in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. PSERS is administered by the ERS Board of Trustees plus two other trustees not on the ERS Board.

Membership - As of June 30, 1995, membership data relating to PSERS is as follows:

- 32 -

receive reduced benefits after age 60 and upon completion of 10 years of service. Members retiring before age 65 will receive a reduced benefit.

Upon retirement, the member will receive a monthly benefit of $8 multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. Effective July I, 1995, this monthly benefit increases to $9. Death, disability, and spousal benefits are also available through PSERS. Additionally, PSERS makes periodic cost-of-living adjustments to the monthly benefits.

Contributions and Vesting - Members contribute $4 per month for nine months. The State of Georgia, although not the employer of PSERS members, is required by statute to make employer contributions actuarially determined and approved and certified by the Board.

Members become vested after 10 years of creditable service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.

The employer contributions are projected to liquidate the unfunded actuarial accrued liability within 20 years based upon the actuarial valuation at June 30, 1994.

c. LRS is a defined benefit plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1979 for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for all members of the General Assembly. LRS is administered by the ERS Board of Trustees.

Membership - As of June 30, 1995, membership data related to the System is as follows:

Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits

Benefits - A member's normal retirement is after 8 years of creditable service and attainment of age 65 or 8 years of membership service (4 legislative terms) and attainment of age 62. A member may retire early and elect to receive a monthly retirement benefit after completion of 8 years of membership service and attainment of age 60; however, the retirement benefit is reduced by 5% for each year the member is under age 62.
Upon retirement, the member will receive a monthly service retirement allowance of $28 multiplied by the number of years of creditable service reduced by age reduction factors, if applicable. Death, disability, and spousal benefits are also available through the plan.
Contributions and Vesting - Member contributions are 8.5% of annual salary. The State pays member contributions in excess of 4% of annual compensation. Employer contributions are actuarially determined and approved and certified by the Board.
Members become vested after 8 years of creditable service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.

- 33 -

Based on the June 30, 1993 actuarial valuation ofLRS (the latest actuarial valuation; present Board policy requires a biennial valuation), the employer contributions are projected to liquidate the unfunded actuarial accrued liability within 20 years.

d. TJSRF is a defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1968 for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for trial judges and solicitors of certain courts of Georgia, and their survivors and other beneficiaries. TJSRF is administered by the ERS Board of Trustees and three other trustees not on the ERS Board.

Membership - As of June 30, 1995, membership data relating to TJSRF is as follows:

Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits

Benefits - The normal retirement for TJSRF is age 60 with 16 years of creditable service; however, a member may retire at age 60 with a minimum of IO years of creditable service. Additionally, a member must retire at age 70 or forfeit all retirement and disability benefits. Members holding office on July I, 1980 are exempt from this provision.
Retirement benefits paid to members are computed as 4% of the average annual compensation multiplied by the total years of creditable service not to exceed 16 years. The average annual compensation is the average salary of a member during the two consecutive years of creditable service producing the highest such average but excluding any salary increases exceeding 5% over the previous year during the two-year period. Death, disability, and spousal benefits are also available.
Contributions and Vesting - Members are required to contribute 7.5% of their salary plus an additional 2.5% if spousal benefit is elected. Employer contributions are actuarially determined and approved and certified by the Board.
Members become vested after IO years of creditable service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.
Based on the June 30, 1993 actuarial valuation (the latest actuarial valuation; present Board policy requires a biennial valuation), TJSRF does not have an unfunded accrued liability.
e. GDCP is a defined contribution plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in July 1993 for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for state employees who are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the ERS Board of Trustees.

Membership - As of June 30, 1995, membership data relating to GDCP is as follows:

Active plan participants Inactive

37.064 30,236

67,300

Benefits - A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board. If a member has less than $3,500 credit to his/her account, the Board has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member. Upon the death of a member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary.
Contributions - Members are required to contribute 7.5% of their gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Earnings will be credited to each member's account as adopted by the Board. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
f. The State Employees' Assurance Department ("SEAD") was created in 1953 by the Georgia General Assembly to furnish survivors' benefits for eligible members of ERS. SEAD contracts with ERS and LRS to provide group term life insurance coverage for their participants. Death benefit payments are payable to the beneficiary or estate of the insured individual.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the System:
a. Basis ofAccounting - The System's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Contributions from the employers and the members are recognized as revenue in the period in which the members provide services. Investment income is recognized as earned by the System.
b. Investments - Investments are carried at cost. The carrying value of investments is not adjusted for temporary declines in market value since the System has both the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity or until cost is recovered. Investments which have suffered other than a temporary decline in value are reduced to net realizable value.
Premiums and discounts on U.S. Government and corporate bonds are amortized over the remaining life of the respective bond on a straight-line basis, which is not significantly different from the effective interest method.
Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the average cost method.
Gains and losses relating to the exchange of bonds of similar quality are deferred as yield adjustments and amortized using the straight-line method from the exchange date to the maturity date of the new bond acquired, which is not significantly different from the lesser of the maturity date of the bond sold or the bond acquired. At June 30, 1995 and 1994, a deferred gain of

- 35 -

$245,454,000 and $229,576,000, respectively, resulted from bond exchanges and is included as a credit in investments.
No investment in any one organization except the U.S. Government represents 5% or more of the net assets available for pension benefits.
There are no investments in, loans to, or leases with parties related to the system.
c. Real Estate Investments - An office building which is included in mortgages and real estate investments is owned equally by the System and the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. The System incurred approximately $302,000 and $301,000 in rental expense for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The expense is included in administrative expenses. The remainder of the building is leased to outside parties, and this revenue is included in investment income.
d. Recently Issued Accounting Standards - In November 1994, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued its Statement No. 25, "Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans." This Statement is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 1996. The System will implement the Statement in the year ending June 30, 1997. Implementation of Statement No. 25 will require the investments of the System to be reported at fair value. Currently investments are reported at cost. In addition, Statement No. 25 requires that plans measure all actuarially determined information in accordance with certain parameters. The impact that the adoption of the Statement will have on the System's financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.
4. INVESTMENT PROGRAM
The System maintains sufficient cash to meet its immediate liquidity needs. Cash not immediately needed is invested in either short-term or long-term investment securities as directed by management. All investments are held by agent custodial banks in the name of the System.
Cash - Cash balances are fully insured through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an agency of the United States Government. Fiduciary accounts, such as those of the System, are granted $100,000 of insurance coverage per participant in the System. Temporary cash on hand not committed for a specific purpose is invested overnight.
Investments - The System is authorized by its Board of Trustees (through statutes) to invest in a variety of short-term and long-term securities, as follows:
(a) Short-Term - Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, whereby the System invests in direct obligations of the United States Government or in obligations unconditionally guaranteed by the agencies of the United States Government. The System may sell or purchase such obligations under agreements to resell or repurchase the obligations at a date certain in the future, at a specific price which reflects a premium over the purchase or selling price equivalent to a stated rate of interest.
United States Treasury obligations with varying terms up to 360 days.
- 36 -

Other short-term securities authorized, but not currently used are:
Commercial paper, with a maturity of I80 days or less. Commercial paper is an unsecured promissory note issued primarily by corporations for a specific amount and maturing on a specific day. The System considers for investment only commercial paper of the highest quality, rated P-1 and/or A-1 by national credit rating agencies.
Master notes, an overnight security administered by a custodian bank and an obligation of a corporation whose commercial paper is rated P-1 and/or A-1 by national credit rating agencies.
Investments in commercial paper or master notes are limited to no more than $25 million in any one
name.
(b) Long-Term - Fixed income investments are authorized in the following instruments:
Corporate bonds with at least an "A" rating by a national rating agency, and limited to no more than 5% of total System assets in any one name. Maturities of these securities vary up to a period of 40 years to provide the System with flexibility necessary to meet changing market conditions.
Canadian Provincial obligations that are issues payable in United States dollars and from the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. Quality, call, and diversification requirements ofcorporate bonds are applicable. No more than 10% of the total portfolio can be invested in Canadian obligations.
Private placements are authorized under the same general restrictions applicable to corporate bonds.
Mortgage investments are authorized to the extent that they are secured by first mortgages on improved real property located in the State having a loan-to-value ratio no higher than 75%. Mortgages as a group cannot exceed 10% of total assets or 1% for any one loan.
United States Treasury obligations with varying terms up to 30 years.
Equity securities are also authorized (in statutes) for investment as a complement to the System's fixed income portfolio and as a long-term inflation hedge. By statute, no more than 50% of the total invested assets may be placed in equities and no more than 5% in any one corporation. Equity holdings in any one corporation may not exceed 5% of the outstanding equity of the issuing corporation.
The equity portfolio is managed by the Investment Services Division in conjunction with independent advisor-managers. Buy/sell decisions are based on securities meeting dividend and rating criteria established by the Board of Trustees. in-house research considering such things as yield, growth. and sales statistics, and analysis of independent market research summoned by the managers. Control of the physical security is with the System and its custodial banks at all times. Equity trades are approved and executed by the System's staff.
Common stocks eligible for investment are approved by the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees before being placed on an approved list.
- 37 -

Substantially all of the investments ofERS, PSERS, LRS, TJSRF, and SEAD are pooled into one common investment fund. Investments of approximately $13,915,000, held by the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan, are not included in the investment pool. Units in the pooled investment fund are allocated to the respective funds based upon the cost of assets contributed and additional units are allocated to the participating funds based on the market value of the pooled investment fund at the date of contribution. Net income of the pooled investment fund is allocated monthly to the participating funds based upon the number of units outstanding during the month.

The units of the pooled investment fund at June 30, 1995 and 1994 were allocated as follows (in thousands):

Short-term investments of approximately $13,915,000 and, $11,240,000 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, held by the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan, are not included in the investment pool.
5. INVESTMENTS LENDING PROGRAM
The System is presently involved in a securities lending program with major brokerage firms. The System lends securities for varying terms and receives a fee based on the loaned securities value. During a loan, the System continues to receive dividends and interest as the owner of the loaned securities. The brokerage firms pledge collateral securities consisting of U.S. Government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by a U.S. Government agency, and U.S. corporate bonds. The collateral value must be equal to at least 102% to 110% of the loaned securities value, depending on the type of collateral security.
Securities loaned totaled $3,068,704,000 at cost (market value, $3,508,910,000) and $2,709.620,000 at cost (market value, $2,866,769,000) at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The collateral value was equal to 103.8% of the loaned securities market value at June 30, 1995 and 1994. The loaned securities are classified as Category I investments (see Note 4) based on the custodial arrangements for the collateral securities.
Loaned securities are included in the accompanying balance sheets since the System maintains ownership. The related collateral securities are not recorded as assets on the System's balance sheets, and a corresponding liability is not recorded, since the System does not trade or sell the collateral securities.
6. FUNDING STATUS AND PROGRESS
Presented below are the pension benefit obligations for ERS, PSERS, LRS, and TJSRF. The amount of the pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized measurement established by the Governll)ental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 5 that is required to be used for reporting purposes. The standardized measurement is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. This pension valuation method reflects the present value of estimated pension benefits that will be paid in future years as a result of member services performed to date and is adjusted for the effects of projected
- 39 -

salary increases and any step-rate benefits. A standardized measurement of the pension benefit obligation was adopted by the GASB to enable readers of the financial statements to (a) assess the System's funding status on a going-concern basis, (b) assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and (c) make comparisons among similar retirement systems.

Because the standardized measurement is used only for disclosure purposes by the System, the measurement is independent of the actuarial computation made to determine contributions to the System. The actuarial funding method used to determine contributions to the System is explained in Note 7.

A variety of significant actuarial assumptions are used to determine the standardized measurement of the pension benefit obligation; these assumptions are summarized below for each of the retirement funds.

ERS - Significant actuarial assumptions used to calculate the ERS pension benefit obligation include the following:

The present value of future pension benefits paid was computed using a discounted rate of7.5%. This rate is also the same rate assumed to be earned on investments in the plan in future years.

Future pension payments reflect the following assumed salary increases as a result of inflation and merit increases:

7. CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND CONTRIBUTIONS MADE
ERS - ERS funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determ'ined rates that, expressed as percentages of annual payroll, are sufficient to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Level percentage of payroll employer contribution rates are determined using the entry age funding method. ERS also uses the level percentage of payroll method to amortize the unfunded liability within approximately 20 years following the valuation date.
Total contributions to the System in 1995 amounted to (in thousands) $316,078 of which $259,144 and $56,934 were made by the employer and members, respectively, compared to total contributions of $298,283 in 1994 of which $243,744 and $54,509 were made by the employer and members, respectively. The contribution amounts were actuarially determined as described above and were based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The pension contributions represent funding for normal cost ($838,343 in 1994 and $816,707 in 1993) and the amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability ($896,073 in 1994 and $748,343 in 1993). Contributions made by the employer and members approximate 14.0% and 3.1 %, respectively, of covered payroll for the year.
Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the standardized measure of the pension obligation.
PSERS - Employer and member contributions to the System are determined on an actuarial basis using the entry age actuarial cost method. The normal contribution rate is calculated as the level dollar amount which, if applied for the average new member during the entire period of anticipated covered service, would be required in addition to the contributions of the member to meet the cost of all benefits payable on his/her behalf. The accrued liability contribution has been established as the level annual amount which will be sufficient to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability within approximately 20 years following the valuation date.
Total contributions to the System in 1995 amounted to (in thousands) $10,252 of which $9, I62 and $1,090 were made by the employer and members, respectively, compared to total contribution of $10,216 in 1994 of which $9,155 and $1,061 were made by the employer and members. respectively. The contribution amounts were actuarially determined as described above and were based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The pension contributions represent funding fornormal cost ($51,747 in 1994 and $44.004 in 1993) and the amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability ($57,904 in 1994 and $28.480 in 1993). Contributions made by the employer and members approximate $283 and $34, respectively, per active member.
Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contributions are the same as those used to compute the standardized measure of pension obligation.
LRS - Employer and member contributions to the System are determined on an actuarial basis using the unit credit actuarial cost method. Normal cost is funded on a current basis and is calculated on a level dollar basis. The accrued liability contribution has been established as the level annual amount which will be sufficient to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability within approximately 20 years following the valuation date.
Total contributions to the System in 1995 amounted to (in thousands) $399 of which $196 and $203 were made by the employer and members. respectively. compared to total contributions of $302 in 1994 of which $121 and $181 were made by the employer and members, respectively. The contribution
- 43 -

amounts were actuarially determined as described above and were based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1993. The pension contributions represent funding for normal cost ($1,043 in 1993) and the amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability ($1,249 in 1993). Contributions made by the employer and members approximate 8.9% and 9.3%, respectively, of covered payroll for the year. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the standardized measure of the pension obligation. TJSRF - Employer contributions to TJSRF are determined by the Board. Future contributions will be determined on an actuarial basis using the entry age actuarial cost method. Normal cost will be funded on a current basis and calculated on a level percentage basis. Based on the actuarial valuations as of June 30, 1993, there is no unfunded actuarial liability. Total contributions to the System in 1995 amounted to (in thousands) $1,043 of which $548 and $495 were made by the employer and members, respectively, compared to total contributions of$1,063 in 1994 of which $602 and $461 were made by the employer and members, respectively. The contribution amounts were actuarially determined as described above and were based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1993. The pension contributions represent funding for normal cost ($9,109 in 1993) and the amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued surplus ($2,739 in 1993). Contributions made by the employer and members approximate 9.7% and 8.8%, respectively, of covered payroll for the year. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the standardized measure of the pension obligation. 8. SEAD ACTUARIAL VALUATION According to the SEAD policy terms covering the lives of members, insurance coverage is provided on a monthly renewable term basis and no return premiums or cash value are earned. The fund balance represents the excess accumulation of investment income and premiums over benefit payments and expenses and is held as a reserve for payment of death benefits under existing policies. The most current actuarial valuation of SEAD is as of June 30, 1993. The valuation indicated that both the employee and employer contribution rate of 0.25% of members' salaries as of June 30, 1993 was appropriate.
