UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

The mission of the University System of Georgia is to contribute to the educational, cultural, economic, and social advancement of Georgia by providing excellent undergraduate general education and first-rate programs leading to associate, baccalaureate, masters, professional, and doctorate degrees; by pursuing leading-edge basic and applied research, scholarly inquiry, and creative endeavors; and by bringing these intellectual resources, and those of the public libraries, to bear on the economic development of the State and the continuing education of its citizens.

The 34 institutions in the University System are led by Chancellor Thomas C. Meredith and the Board of Regents. The University System continues to thrive as shown by the following statistics:

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

The University System of Georgia is proud to present its consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2004. These consolidated statements contain information from the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia, the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the University System Office. Each institution has prepared a separate financial statement that is available on CD. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University System's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University System as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of the University System of Georgia. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and

Annual Financial Report FY 2004 6

non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.
Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $543,923,220.79. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $518,367,317.05 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.

Annual Financial Report FY 2004 7

The total liabilities for the year increased by $279,660,225.55. The combination of the increase total assets of $543,923,220.79 and the increase in total liabilities of $279,660,225.55 yields an increase in total net assets of $264,262,995.24. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $206,470,225.37.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the University System of Georgia is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units, an amendment of Statement No. 14, the University System of Georgia has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. Details for all component units are included in the Financial Statements; Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; and Note 15, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
Despite Georgia's continuing sluggish economy and the impact that has had on the state budget, the University System of Georgia fared better in the FY 2005 budget than in the immediate two years prior. FY 2005 Budget reductions for the University System of Georgia, originally anticipated to be 5% of base level funding, were only 3.7% overall. Core instructional programs and services were reduced by only 2.5%. At the same time, the University System of Georgia's enrollment formula was fully funded, MRR funds were restored close to levels that existed prior to cuts of recent years, capital funding was increased significantly over last year's amount to more than $273 million, and a salary increase benefiting all state agencies, including the University System of Georgia, was approved.
Since FY 2003, the University System of Georgia has received budget reductions totaling to $252.6 million. The budget cuts for FY 2005 increase that to $378 million, although the impact will be felt differentially across University System programs. In accordance with the new state budget process and the budget principles adopted by the Board of Regents as part of that process, some programs less critical to core missions will experience deeper cuts.
The University System of Georgia continues to see a surge in student enrollments, which is expected to continue for several years. Headcount enrollment grew 6% from fall 2002 to fall 2003, or nearly 14,000 students. Credit hour enrollment is also up significantly.
Despite the trend in state appropriations, the outlook for the University System may be more positive this year and next due to continuing enrollment growth across the system. The growth should result in increased formula funding and higher tuition revenue, both of which will lessen

the impact of budget cuts. Overall, the system is in a strong financial position. There do not appear to be any conditions or factors that would substantially affect its operations or financial position. _______________________ William R.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The University System of Georgia serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity The University System of Georgia is comprised of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the University System of Georgia.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. The University System of Georgia does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, all 34 institutions are considered organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of their legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report. These statements (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets for the four component units reporting under GASB requirements and the Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities for the 49 component units reporting under FASB requirements) are reported discretely in the University System's report.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 82

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University System was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University System's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University System is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University System'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 inter-institution transactions have been eliminated.
The University System has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University System has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University System accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 83

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University System's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University System'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to University System of Georgia when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $177,775,827.42 to the University System of Georgia. This resulted in a cumulative total of $1,991,949,742.77 as of June 30, 2004.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 84

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. University System of Georgia had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $129,531,317.10 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $102,983,702.53 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $100,577,162.62, for a net increase of $2,406,539.91. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $131,937,857.01.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University System's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University System'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University System may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University System is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 85

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$230,674,714.29

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University System is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University System, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

7,155,944.69 52,441,302.08 $234,047,133.06

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University System's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes The University System of Georgia, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Annual Financial Report FY 2004 86

Classification of Revenues The University System has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University System, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University System's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University System has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies
Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the University System of Georgia) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus University System of Georgia), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements.
The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University System for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University System determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University System has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $1,013,800.61.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University System of Georgia participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of the University System of Georgia who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The University System of Georgia makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

Percentage Contributed

Required Contribution

2004 2003 2002

100% 100% 100%

$106,773,703.51 $107,129,310.57 $105,288,726.51

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University System of Georgia 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 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

Annual Financial Report FY 2004 98

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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University System pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University System also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $360,561.42, of which $280,825.62 was made by the University System and $79,735.80 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 99

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy The University System of Georgia makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
The University System of Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $61,449.664.05 (10.03%) and $30,758,206.22 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description The University System of Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 100

Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $5,469,337.35 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. The University System of Georgia and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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 University System of Georgia, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the
Annual Financial Report FY 2004 101

performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the University System of Georgia expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against the University System of Georgia, 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance.

Georgia State University
The Georgia State University Foundation (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia State University (University). The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the University in support of its programs. The 34-member board of the Foundation, of which 7 members are exofficio, is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation distributed $16,737,330 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from Assistant Vice President Development Finance and Operations, Georgia State University Foundation, P. O.

Investments for Component Units:
The Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $62 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donor and the Foundation's current endowment spending policy. The Trustees of the Foundation adopted an endowment spending policy that provides for the allocation of endowment funds at the rate of 70% of the previous year's allocation plus 30% of the current year's market values at a spending rate of 4.5% of the market value of the endowment funds. A 1% management fee is used to fund the Foundation's administrative activities. The balance of the return is applied to the value of the endowment funds.

Rialto Center - Capital lease
During 1994, the Foundation purchased and has since renovated facilities currently occupied by the University's School of Music. The project included the purchase and renovation of two existing office buildings and the Foundation entered into a long-term land lease for the renovation and use of an existing performing arts theater (Rialto Theater). The project is being financed through contributions to the Foundation and through bonds issued by the Downtown Development Authority of the City of Atlanta (Authority) and loaned to The University Financing Foundation (TUFF). The Foundation has entered into long-term lease commitments with TUFF to provide for the debt service payments on the bonds and other bond financing related expenses. The Foundation leases the facilities to the University through a series of oneyear renewable lease agreements. Title to the two office buildings will pass to the Foundation at the end of the lease period or the retirement of the bonds, whichever occurs first.
During 2004, the 1994 bonds issued by the Authority were refunded to obtain savings in debt service and to obtain funds for improvements to the Rialto Theater. Accordingly, the Authority entered into a new loan agreement with TUFF and a new agreement with the Foundation as the guarantor of the bonds. The guarantee is expressly limited to the unrestricted income and unrestricted assets of the Foundation. The terms of the long-term lease commitment between TUFF and the Foundation were modified to reflect the new interest rate of the bonds, the additional proceeds available for capital improvements, the additional bond financing-related expenses and extending the term of the lease through November 1, 2015. Pursuant to this transaction, the Foundation also formed Rialto Center, Limited Liability Company (LLC), a single member LLC with the Foundation as the sole member, for the purpose of holding the related capital lease. Financial statements of the Foundation incorporate the financial activities of Rialto Center, LLC. Interest expense relating to the TUFF lease obligation for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $293,702 and $296,213, respectively.

Annual debt service requirements to maturity for the Rialto Center Capital Lease are as follows:

University of Georgia
The University of Georgia Foundation The University of Georgia Foundation (the "Foundation") is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of The University of Georgia.

The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation distributed $12,382,773 to the University for scholarships and donor-restricted support. Facilities valued at $85 million and the associated long-term debt are included in the financial statements of the Foundation.

The Medical College of Georgia Research Institute (the "Institute") is a legally separate, taxexempt component unit of the Medical College of Georgia (College).

Managed by an Executive Committee reporting to a twenty-seven member Board of Directors, the Institute obtains contracts from individuals, industrial, government and public agencies for the performance of sponsored research, development, and other programs by the various departments and units of the College. All research contracts awarded to the Institute are sub-contracted to the College, which is responsible for the fiscal administration of the research projects. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of activity, all grant awards are sub-contracted and managed by the College. Because of this special relationship, the Institute is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements.
The Institute is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the College's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Institute sub-contracted $39.7 of research programs to the College.

Additionally, four-year scholarships awarded to College students are expensed in the year awarded, and property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated. Prior to fiscal 2003, PPG recorded its investments in mutual funds, equity securities, and debt securities at amortized cost. On July 1, 2002, PPG elected to apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 124, Accounting Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations. SFAS No. 124 requires that investment in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities be reported at fair value with gains and losses included in a statement of activities. The adjustment to record its investments at fair value at the date of adoption was an unrealized loss of approximately $518,000 and is included in the statement of revenues collected and expenses paid for the year ended June 30, 2003. Other adjustments required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America for the accrual basis of accounting have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements, including the equity method of accounting for PPG's investments in a joint venture. The equity method of accounting requires that the carrying value of investments meeting certain criteria be adjusted to reflect the investor's share of the investee's income and losses with the income or losses included in a statement of activities. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the College's financial reporting entity for these differences.

North Georgia College and State University
The North Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) was formed and incorporated under the laws of the state of Georgia in January, 1959. The purpose of the Foundation is to support North Georgia College & State University (University), its students, faculty and staff and the educational programs designed for its students, potential students and alumni. The Foundation's support comes primarily from contributions and grants from alumni, corporations, foundations and other individuals. The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the University in support of its programs. The twenty-three-member board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation made distributions of $2,462,965 to or on behalf of the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Office of Institutional Advancement at 70 Alumni Drive, Dahlonega, GA 30533.
The Foundation prepares its financial reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. With the exception of necessary presentation adjustments, no modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial report for these differences.
The Foundation manages a charitable gift annuity and currently pays 5% to the life beneficiary. Upon the death of the income beneficiary, the remaining funds will be unrestricted.
The Foundation realized an eleven percent investment return on the endowments in its business year ending June 30, 2004. An Investment Committee determines the appropriate investment mix to provide performance results needed to produce adequate funding for the University. The investment mix currently is approximately 60% Equity and 40% Bonds and Cash Equivalents.

The bonds, serial and term, are secured by pledges of gross receipts from student housing at State University of West Georgia. The Foundation is financing the student housing project by issuing variable rate bonds. The rate is the Weekly Swap Index published by the Bond Market Association, adjusted weekly, with a cap of 12.0%. The current rate is 1.15%. I understand that the historical average rate over the last ten years has been 3.5%.

The fixed bond rate for our project would be approximately 6.5%.
The Foundation chose the variable rate bonds in order to take advantage of the low rates available at this time. In addition, the Foundation has the option of doing an "interest rate swap" if the rates increase by swapping all or a part of the debt for fixed rate bonds at a later time. Therefore, the Foundation has the flexibility to switch to a fixed rate.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $9,139,016.83. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase in non-current capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation. This was the addition of the new Agricultural Sciences Building and a major renovation to Howard Auditorium.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $209,234.65. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities resulting from increased deferred revenue, primarily from Continuing Education course Deferred Revenues, and an increase in Deposits Held for Other Organizations. The combination of the increase in total assets of $9,139,016.83 and the increase in total liabilities of $209,234.65 yields an increase in total net assets of $8,929,782.18. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $9,438,261.88.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The revenues statement reflects an increase of $7,957,835.39. Of this amount, $8,473,355.19 is from State Capital Gifts and Grants. This is revenue received from the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) for building projects.
The expenditure statement reflects an increase of $2,078,212.76. This was the result of various items including the purchase of a new telephone system called Telephony, the upgrade of several student computer labs, and the installation of new signage for the campus.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $253,502.24. The compensation to employees remained basically the same as the prior year due to not receiving a pay raise. The increase is primarily the result of the addition of new personnel in sponsored programs such as the ICAPP Nursing Program and the Upward Bound program.
Utilities increased by approximately $155,258.97 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with an increase in natural gas costs as well as electricity.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($831,117.93). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 6

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation had endowment investments of $5.5 M as of June 30, 2004. The First ABAC, L.L.C. had long-term debt of $32.6 M in the form of two bond issues. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units. Economic Outlook The College is making a major change in the operations of Auxiliary Enterprises for next year. All of the existing student housing will be demolished and new student apartments are being constructed. These units are to be completed for Fall Semester FY2004. These apartments are being built through the ABAC Foundation. These units will be furnished with full kitchens which will have a major impact on our food service operations as well. Revenues and expenditures for these operations will decrease significantly. We are not aware of any other known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will we maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Tom Call, Interim President Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is reporting the activity for the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation, and the First ABAC, L.L.C.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $7,372,194.05 to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The Howard Auditorium renovation was funded by MRR funds that were administered by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $780,588.47 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $534,816.40 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $521,321.64, for a net increase of $13,494.76. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $794,083.23.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System Of Georgia

Plan Description Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Abraham Baldwin Agricultural 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 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

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other 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, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $184,603.80. The College's total payroll for all employees was $12,099,057.47.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. 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, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amount to 6% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $20,612.02, of which $12,364.44 was made by the College and $8,247.58 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $199,956.99 (10.03%) and $57,102.30 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Abraham Baldwin Agricultural 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $33,617.19 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 137 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College recognized as incurred $546,589.79 of expenditures, which was net of $715,804.05 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Component Unit Notes
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, taxexempt component unit of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (college). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. The twenty-seven-member board of the foundation is selfperpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the College, the foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the College's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $812,460 to or on behalf of the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at ABAC 13, 2802 Moore Highway, Tifton, GA. 31793.
Investments for Component Units:
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $5.5 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:
Student Housing Bonds are issued by the First ABAC, L.L.C. to finance student housing on College property. The bonds, serial and term, are secured by pledges of gross receipts from student housing at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and are covered by a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by AMBAC Assurance Corporation. The bonds carry an interest rate ranging from 1.75% to 4.25%.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Albany State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the university's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the university as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Albany State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

1,014,736.85 $112,084,363.81

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($8,594,004.90). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($4,780,091.54) in the University's capital assets. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($3,374,250.83). The primary cause for the increase was due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($8,594,004.90) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($3,374,250.83) yields a net decrease in total net assets of ($5,219,754.07). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of related debt in the amount of ($4,780,091.54).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($1,615,429.05). This decrease is a result of Albany State University's restructure plan as a result of state budget reductions.
Utility costs remain constant showing a slight increase of $939.83 during the past year.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($2,781,695.91). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia as well as Albany State University.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Albany State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be a stable year and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

ALBANY STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Albany State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Albany State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Albany State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Albany State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Albany State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Albany State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. For FY2004, Albany State University does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 12

required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 13

local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Albany State University when complete.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. The liability and expense incurred are recorded at year-end as accrued vacation payable in the Statement of Net
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

Assets, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Albany State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,342,213.73 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $864,210.39 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $997,945.29, for a net decrease of ($137,759.67). The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,208,478.83.

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted - E&G and Other Organized A ctivities Federal Loans Institutional Loans Term Endowm ents Q uasi-Endowm ents Total Restricted Expendable

June 30, 2004 $19,212.56

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserv e for Inv entory O ther Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

June 30, 2004 $0.00
555,861.76 $555,861.76

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Albany State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Albany State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Albany State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Albany State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Albany State University 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 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.

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 24

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $2,990.58. The University's total payroll for all employees was $23,786,827.27.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amount to 10.41 % of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $4,031.25, of which $3,528.39 was made by the University and $502.86 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Albany State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Albany State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,294,524.61 (10.03%) and $763,874.86 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Albany State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $39,971.32 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Albany State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Albany State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

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 expenditure that is disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Albany State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Albany State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 154 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Albany State University recognized as incurred $526,236.86 of expenditures, which was net of $183,748.24 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Armstrong Atlantic State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Armstrong Atlantic State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major

Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

2,116,456.29 $53,036,962.68

The total assets of the institution increased by $2,951,663.29. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase in additional deferred revenue, additional funds held for others, and additional receivables. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $4,184,201.29. The primary causes for the increase was additional deferred revenue and deposits held for others. The combination of the increase in total assets of $2,951,663.29 and the increase in total liabilities of $4,184,201.29 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($1,232,538.00). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of investments in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($2,332,264.00).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Residential life constructed nearly 300 beds of additional housing on the campus using a third party developer in a construction and leasing relationship. The new construction of residential life units on the campus, due to the third party relationship with the privatized vendor, does not show on the University's financial statements due to the activity being an off-balance sheet activity for financial reporting purposes. Since the University does not own or lease these units, the revenue or expenses are also not reflected in the University's financial statements. An independent foundation, Educational Properties, Inc., owns the units. An outside firm is managing these units for the owner, and receives a fee for its services.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $1,630,257.10. The increase reflects an increased cost of recently hired employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by approximately $381,101.29 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased square footage added by a new building and the reopening of two buildings undergoing renovation.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by approximately $196,491.24.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Armstrong Atlantic State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Thomas Z.

ARMSTRONG ATLANTIC STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Armstrong Atlantic State University serves the local and state communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Armstrong Atlantic State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Armstrong Atlantic State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Armstrong Atlantic State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Armstrong Atlantic State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Armstrong Atlantic State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Armstrong Atlantic State University is reporting the activity for the Armstrong Atlantic State University Foundation and the Armstrong Atlantic State University Educational Properties Foundation, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Armstrong Atlantic State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no additions to Armstrong Atlantic State University.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Armstrong Atlantic State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,286,770.80 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,017,773.24 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $969,715.33, for a net increase of $48,057.91. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,334,828.71.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Armstrong Atlantic State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Armstrong Atlantic State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Armstrong Atlantic State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Armstrong Atlantic State University 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 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

Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $71,552.04. The University's total payroll for all employees was $27,652,519.61.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amount to 10.66% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $8,553.72, of which $7,480.41 was made by the University and $1,073.31 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Armstrong Atlantic State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Armstrong Atlantic State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,051,453.00 (10.03%) and $524,156.05 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Armstrong Atlantic State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $78,332.43 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Armstrong Atlantic State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Armstrong Atlantic State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Armstrong Atlantic State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Armstrong Atlantic State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 127 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Armstrong Atlantic State University recognized as incurred $485,864.23 of expenditures, which was net of $207,833.02 of participant contributions.

Component Unit Note #1
Armstrong Atlantic State University Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Armstrong Atlantic State University (university). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The 22-member board of the foundation is selfperpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the university. Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the university by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university, the foundation is considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the university's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $1,146,234.00 to the university for unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Office of External Affairs, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Atlanta Metropolitan College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Atlanta Metropolitan College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-ofyear data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

(932.00)
99,514.71 $12,781,223.67

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($262,316.09). A review of the Statement of Net Assets reveals that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($554,053.56) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. This decrease was offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $344,056.32. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was partly the result of improved collections. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($100,163.23). The primary reason for the decrease was the pay down of long-term liabilities in the amount of $74,092.42 in accordance with the terms of the promissory note. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($262,316.09) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($100,163.23) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($162,152.86).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example, state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Federal grants and contracts increased by approximately $866,000. This was primarily the result of an increase of approximately $320,000 in awards made to students under the PELL program as well as an increase in funding in excess of $300,000 from the Department of Education for the Upward Bound program.
The decrease in supplies and other services is a direct result of the cost containment measures taken in the form of elimination, consolidation and/or reduction of certain programs.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by ($234,948.01). The decrease was due in part to attrition as well as the elimination of some non-critical positions in an effort to streamline costs.
Utilities increased by approximately $41,657.80 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004. The College also experienced increase water and sewer costs. These increases were slightly offset by a reduction in telephone charges.
State appropriations decreased by approximately ($726,056.37). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Atlanta Metropolitan College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the Atlanta Metropolitan College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The College had no significant capital asset additions for facilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1 and 5 in the notes to the financial statements.
Economic Outlook The College anticipates that the current fiscal year will present similar challenges as faced last year. With the uncertainty of state revenues and the rising cost of health care and utility cost, the College will approach the coming year cautiously. The College will continue to closely monitor its resources and look at all strategic cost containment measures to ensure a balanced budget at year end. The College will continue in its efforts to improve enrollment growth through a combination of intensive recruiting and the implementation of a strategic retention plan. Any enrollment growth will also translate into additional tuition revenue dollars.

ATLANTA METROPOLITAN COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Atlanta Metropolitan College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Atlanta Metropolitan College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Atlanta Metropolitan College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Atlanta Metropolitan College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Atlanta Metropolitan College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Atlanta Metropolitan College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. For FY2004, Atlanta Metropolitan College does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 12

by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require reporting summer school revenues and expenses between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash and demand deposits.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at cost using the weighted average method. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the College's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 13

of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Atlanta Metropolitan College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Atlanta Metropolitan College.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Atlanta Metropolitan College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $503,052.80 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $360,530.15 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $364,608.14, for a net decrease of $4,077.99. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $498,974.81
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

restrictions imposed by external third parties. Atlanta Metropolitan College had no expendable restricted net assets for FY2004.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O the r Unre stricte d Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

June 30, 2004
$0.00 647,022.52 195,641.12 (352,180.23) $490,483.41

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Atlanta Metropolitan College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Atlanta Metropolitan College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Atlanta Metropolitan College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Atlanta Metropolitan College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

$ 570,996.52 $ 557,061.80 $ 505,443.41

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible College system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Atlanta Metropolitan College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004,

Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 22

the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Atlanta Metropolitan College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $95,362.24 (10.03%) and $47,538.73 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Atlanta Metropolitan 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $34,175.35 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Atlanta Metropolitan College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 23

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Atlanta Metropolitan College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Atlanta Metropolitan College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Atlanta Metropolitan College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 24

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 44 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Atlanta Metropolitan College recognized as incurred $140,405.37 of expenditures, which was net of $59,787.24 of participant contributions.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Augusta State University is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. Augusta State is the primary public institution of higher learning in the state's second largest city. While it shares the technological and innovative resources of the University System, Augusta State University maintains its historical roots that make the learning experience as unique as the campus itself. The University is well known for its dedication to expanding education opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds, with a specific emphasis on service to Georgians in the Central Savannah River Area.

Augusta State continues to grow as Fall 2003 enrollment was 6,135 versus 5,909 in the fall of 2002, an increase of 4 percent. In the past two years, enrollment has grown by 13 percent. Augusta State has a teaching faculty of 204 persons, included as part of 520 total positions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Augusta State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Augusta State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net

Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004

Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $2,127,450.68. The increase in assets was primarily in Cash, up $1,586,436.74. Cash was up in a large part due to the growing use of early registration for the upcoming fall semester.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $1,115,816.50 due primarily to higher Deferred Revenue related to the early registration activity discussed above.

Total Net Assets increased $1,011,634.18 or 1.8 percent. Capital Assets represent 91 percent of Total Net Assets and increased only marginally in FY 2004.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Operating Revenues increased by $448,175.31, or 2 percent. Tuition and Fees revenue was up $1,516,342.10, or 16 percent due to a 10 percent increase in tuition and higher enrollment. This increase was partially offset by reduced Grants and Contracts revenue as FY 2003 included a large, one-time, grant for the History Walk project, and certain Grants and Contracts were reclassified as Nonoperating Revenue.
Nonoperating Revenues were up $603,401.14, or 2.5 percent reflecting the change in Grants and Contracts noted above. In total, Grants and Contracts in FY 2004 were $7,704,539.42, down $871,101.76 as FY 2003 benefited from the one-time History Walk project. State appropriations decreased $387, 169.53 due to budget cuts.
Capital Gifts and Grants were substantially lower in FY 2004 as the prior year included the addition of Allgood Hall, a new classroom building.

The University's Total Operating Expenses, as shown above, decreased by $162,660.21, or 0.4 percent versus FY 2003. Expenses were contained in an environment of ongoing budget cuts and the results reflect the absence of a merit increase in salaries and wages for the year.
The total compensation and employee benefits category (which represents 67 percent of total expenses), increased by $471,209.52 or 1.5 percent. Most of this increase was in Instruction due to some growth in the use of part-time faculty to meet the demands of higher enrollment.
Academic Support expense declined 7 percent versus last year due to reduced levels of spending for supplies and other services. Institutional Support expense was also down 7 percent versus FY 2003 primarily due to reduced insurance premiums and an insurance claim.
Plant Operations and Maintenance expense, as shown, appears to be up significantly from last year. However, in FY 2003, depreciation expense was shown as Unallocated Expense while in FY 2004 depreciation is included in each of the functional categories. From an operations standpoint, Plant Operations and Maintenance spending increased 2.8 percent year to year, primarily due to spending to support new classroom space. Utilities increased by $105,133.83 during the past year.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Augusta State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with

operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
There were no major additions to the University's Capital Assets in FY 2004. A second new classroom building, University Hall, is nearing completion and will add some $20 million to the University's asset base in FY 2005. Once University Hall is occupied, the six old classroom buildings will be demolished.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Augusta State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004.

Economic Outlook The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during the new fiscal year. The University's overall financial position is strong as cost control measures have enabled the University to fulfill its mission against an environment of rising enrollment during a period of ongoing budget cuts. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will require continued close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ William A.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Augusta State University serves the second largest metropolitan area in Georgia. With a broad array of undergraduate programs and a select offering of graduate programs, it functions as a metropolitan University for the Central Savannah River Area.
Reporting Entity Augusta State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Augusta State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Augusta State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Augusta State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Augusta State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Augusta State University is reporting the activity for the Augusta State University Fund Raising Foundation and the Augusta State University Athletic Association.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004
16

Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004
17

reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Augusta State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $79,794.55 to Augusta State University.

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Augusta State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,156,120.09 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $846,551.87 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $829,912.29, for a net increase of $16,639.58. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,172,759.67
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

2,335,258.39 $3,144,056.60

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Augusta State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 Augusta State University had no allowance for uncollectible loans.

Note 9. Lease Obligations
OPERATING LEASES
Augusta State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2006. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to three years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and other small business equipment.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Augusta State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Augusta State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Augusta State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Augusta State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in

Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004
28

accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Augusta State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $941,242.09 (10.03%) and $469,213.35 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Augusta State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $59,498.05, which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Augusta State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Augusta State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Augusta State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Augusta State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004
30

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 138 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Augusta State University recognized as incurred $668,669.74 of expenditures, which was net of $163,652.36 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Augusta State University Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Augusta State University (university). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The foundation board is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the university. Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the university by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university, the foundation is considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the university's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $1,089,296.60 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes.

Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the athletic activities of the university by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university and their management role is significant to the accomplishment of the University's mission, the foundation is considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.

BAINBRIDGE COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Bainbridge College is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The College, located in Bainbridge, Georgia, was founded in 1970 with construction of the original five buildings beginning in July 1972; classes began October 1, 1973. The Division of Vocational/Technical Education and the Department of Development Education were added during the academic year 1973-74. A unique agreement, which continues to this day, between the Board of Regents and Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, made the addition of the vocational/technical programs possible. Bainbridge College is the only comprehensive community college in southwest Georgia and is fully accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The College has experienced phenomenal growth as shown by the following chart.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Bainbridge College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Bainbridge College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

4,072,169.20 509,602.25 95,497.94
721,955.56 $5,399,224.95

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,195,170.54. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $1,242,665.87 in current assets, primarily $777,603.80 in cash and cash equivalents. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $444,051.66. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,195,170.54 and the increase in total liabilities of $444,051.66 yields an increase in total net assets of $751,118.88.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases,

Capital Assets

Economic Outlook
The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

BAINBRIDGE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Bainbridge College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Bainbridge College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Bainbridge College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Bainbridge College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Bainbridge College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Bainbridge College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Bainbridge College is reporting the activity for the Bainbridge College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Bainbridge College when complete.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Bainbridge College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $248,935.19 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $199,484.37 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $164,505.28, for a net increase of $34,979.09. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $283,914.28

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

14,706.33 956,526.48 $1,510,348.60

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Bainbridge College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus Bainbridge College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus Bainbridge College), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements.
The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The College has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 Bainbridge College had no allowance for uncollectible loans.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Bainbridge College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Bainbridge College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Bainbridge College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et. seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible University system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Bainbridge College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance

Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Bainbridge College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $107,897.74 (10.03%) and $53,787.50 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Bainbridge 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $38,573.34 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Bainbridge College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Bainbridge College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Bainbridge College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Bainbridge College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 40 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Bainbridge College recognized as incurred $169,591.00 of expenditures, which was net of $70,994.14 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units Component Unit Notes Bainbridge College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Bainbridge College (College). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. The eleven-member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the College, the foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements. The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the College's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $12,182 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 2500 E. Shotwell Street Bainbridge, GA 39819. Long Term Liabilities for Component Units Bainbridge College Foundation had no long term liabilities for FY2004.

CLAYTON COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Clayton College & State University, located in Morrow, Georgia, is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. Established in 1969 in a park-like setting 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta, Clayton State serves the metro Atlanta area as a hub for undergraduate education. After five years of steady enrollment growth, and the fall 2004 opening of the $19 million University Center, Clayton State's fall 2004 enrollment was just under 6,000 students and has twice been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as having the most diverse student population among comprehensive baccalaureate-level colleges and universities in the Southeastern United States.

In 2004, Clayton State established an Office for International Studies to foster study abroad programs for students, and recently received its first Fulbright-Hays grant, allowing faculty members to participate in a four week professional development program in Argentina and Chile. The Fulbright grant was far from Clayton State's only faculty venture abroad in 2004. During the summer, Clayton State faculty members taught courses in Italy, London, Hungary, the Baltic Republics and Russia. University President Dr. Thomas K. Harden helped lead an economic/cultural/educational mission to the Czech Republic, Romania and Hungary that resulted in the University signing several partnerships and exchange programs with major universities from those countries.

Clayton State is the only academic institution in the Southeast with a world-class recital hall

(Spivey Hall) on campus. Clayton State is also the only university in the country adjacent to both

state and national archives facilities. The University currently offers 28 baccalaureate degree

programs with several new programs under development. The University's Athletics program

features 10 sports and competes at the NCAA Division II-level in the Peach Belt Athletic

Conference.

Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Clayton College & State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.
Statement of Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Clayton College & State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.
Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $99,593.24. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was the result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents caused by the carry-forward of prior year funds for purchase orders ($616,774.43) that were canceled and left unspent netted against the decrease in net assets ($524,096.76) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation arising from an adjustment to the capitalization threshold for equipment.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $835,503.20. The combination of the increase in total assets of $99,593.24 and the increase in total liabilities of $835,503.20 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($735,909.96). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($524,096.76) combined with the increase in deferred revenue generated when the University changed their accounting procedures for the recognition of summer semester revenue to comply with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP). The GAAP procedures require the summer revenue to be divided over the fiscal year based on the amount of time the summer semester occupied in the two fiscal years. In the past, the University recognized all of the summer revenue in the first half of the semester and accrued the estimated salary expenses for the second half of the semester as an offset. This change resulted in an increase to deferred revenue of $1,108,264.91 and a decrease in salaries payable of ($225,974.07) (net liability increase of $882,290.84).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflects a decrease in net assets in the current fiscal year. The two key factors that created this decrease were the result of the change in accounting principal for recognition of summer revenue and the removal of small value equipment from the capitalized inventory. Some highlights of the information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets are as follows:

Continuing education course fees decreased in the amount of approximately $600,000.00. However, that decrease was offset with an equivalent decrease in course expenditures and that variance is evident when comparing the change in the Public Service expenditures in the fiscal year.
In addition, the majority of the furnishings and supplies used to outfit the new University Center were purchased at the end of fiscal year 2004. The certificate of occupancy was issued for the University Center at the very beginning of fiscal year 2005. These items were non-capital purchases that were expensed in fiscal year 2004.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $200,867.90. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by approximately $106,792.94 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004, and from startup of systems associated with the University's new University Center facility.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by approximately $93,669.20. The minimal increase to state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Clayton College & State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Clayton College & State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last year and we will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

CLAYTON COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Clayton College & State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic and technical instruction. The University's focus on advancing the students fundamental knowledge provides the students with the tools necessary to achieve success in their future careers.
Clayton College & State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Clayton College & State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Clayton College & State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Clayton College & State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Clayton College & State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Clayton College & State University is reporting the activity for the Clayton College & State University Foundation, Inc., and the Walter and Emilie Spivey Foundation, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Clayton College & State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Clayton College & State University. However, subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2004, GSFIC issued
Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

the official occupancy certificate for the University Center. The capital asset addition for this structure will be in fiscal year 2005.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Clayton College & State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,372,401.38 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $2,540,279.38 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,511,030.34, for a net increase of $29,249.04. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,401,650.42.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$72,120.92

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory Other Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

$720,382.76 2,327,393.55
238,445.75 373,550.72 $3,659,772.78

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Income Taxes Clayton College & State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $7,000.00.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Clayton College & State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Clayton College & State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Clayton College & State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

100% 100% 100%

$ 550,680.76 $ 558,389.77 $ 538,568.88

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Clayton College & State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of

Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Clayton College & State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $297,896.69 (10.03%) and $148,502.76 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Clayton College & State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $51,590.02 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Clayton College & State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans.
Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Clayton College & State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Clayton College & State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Clayton College & State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Clayton College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 77 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Clayton College & State University recognized as incurred $212,473.80 of expenditures, which was net of $67,482.50 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Coastal Georgia Community College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Coastal Georgia Community College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is

Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

965,588.57 $10,878,923.89

The total assets of the institution increased by $17,380,480.65. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $16,792,878.78 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation due to the addition of the Camden Center facility. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction and public service mission of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $385,529.25. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities, primarily $230,894.82 in deferred revenue due to increased early enrollment for Fall Semester. The combination of the increase in total assets of $17,380,480.65 and the increase in total liabilities of $385,529.25 yields an increase in total net assets of $16,994,951.40. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $16,792,878.78.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The increase in grants and contracts relates to additional Title IV funding due to increased enrollment, as well as, larger nongovernmental contracts for Adult Education.
Revenues associated with the student tuition and auxiliary services increased by over 9% and 18% respectively due to increased enrollment.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $514,920.77. The increase in faculty and staff was required due to enrollment increases and the opening of the Camden Center facility. Utilities increased by approximately $87,888.49 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004 and the addition of the Camden Center facility.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by approximately $36,317.01. The decrease of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Coastal Georgia Community College. Due to enrollment, the College experienced a slight increase in state appropriations. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Coastal Georgia Community College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a strong increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________, President Dr. Dorothy L.

Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

COASTAL GEORGIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Coastal Georgia Community College serves the state by providing students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge to Georgia citizens.
Reporting Entity Coastal Georgia Community College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Coastal Georgia Community College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Coastal Georgia Community College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Coastal Georgia Community College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Coastal Georgia Community College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Coastal Georgia Community College is reporting the activity for the Coastal Georgia Community College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are valued at cost using the average-cost basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Coastal Georgia Community College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $16,817,565.60 to Coastal Georgia Community College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Coastal Georgia Community College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $526,066.06 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $386,836.28 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $398,550.46, for a net decrease of $11,714.18. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $514,351.88
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$396,074.67 609,344.09 21,000.00 134,278.68
$1,160,697.44

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes Coastal Georgia Community College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The College has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. Coastal Georgia Community College had no allowance for uncollectible loans at June 30, 2004.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents.

Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Coastal Georgia Community College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Coastal Georgia Community College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $247,313.01 (10.03%) and $123,286.83 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Coastal Georgia Community 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $41,768.63 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Coastal Georgia Community College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Coastal Georgia Community College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Coastal Georgia Community College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Coastal Georgia Community College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.

Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 65 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Coastal Georgia Community College recognized as incurred $175,140.20 of expenditures, which was net of $63,749.12 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Component Unit Notes (example 1)
Coastal Georgia Community College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Coastal Georgia Community College (college). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the college in support of its programs. The 43-member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the college. Although the college does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the college by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the college, the foundation is considered a component unit of the college and is discretely presented in the college's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the college's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $674,312 to the college for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Business Affairs office at 3700 Altama Avenue, Brunswick, GA 31520.
Investments for Component Units:
Coastal Georgia Community College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $2.14 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment are expended as restricted by the donors. Approximately 80% of endowment funds generate earnings for scholarships while 20% generate unrestricted earnings. Endowment fund investments are currently managed by Trusco Capital Management via the Total Return Fund.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:
Coastal Georgia Community College Foundation does not have any Long Term Liabilities.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Columbus State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Columbus State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

3,514,007.98 $45,394,483.54

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($330,695.69). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a combination of a decrease in capital assets and an increase in investments. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($116,452.41). The primary cause for the decrease was in non-current liabilities, primarily ($116,480.09) in compensated absences. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($330,695.69) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($116,452.41) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($214,243.28). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt and offset by an increase in unrestricted net assets.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

$67,253,472.09

Revenues associated with the residential life, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, category increased approximately $100,707.65 during the year. This increase reflects a moderate increase in fees per semester.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $762,062.88. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution. Utilities decreased by approximately ($33,581.69) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with a decrease in natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004.
For FY2004, Federal Direct Student Loans were reclassified from a sponsored account to an agency account. This reclassification resulted in a drastic reduction in Federal Grants and Contract Revenue and in the associated expenses for scholarships and fellowships. In FY2003, $16,617,543 was disbursed in Federal Direct Student Loans; $18,434,391 was disbursed in FY2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($20,216.16). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Columbus State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Columbus State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

COLUMBUS STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Columbus State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Columbus State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Columbus State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Columbus State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Columbus State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Columbus State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Columbus State University is reporting the activity for the Columbus State University Foundation Properties, the Columbus State University Foundation, Columbus State University Alumni Association and the Columbus State University Athletic Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories The University does not carry any consumable supplies or resale inventories.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Columbus State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Columbus State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Columbus State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,468,248.13 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $2,073,911.69 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,062,024.09, for a net increase of $11,887.60.

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Income Taxes Columbus State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 22

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Columbus State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants.

O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

Funding Policy Columbus State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Columbus State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $661,813.01 (10.03%) and $329,918.26 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Columbus State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $120,227.09 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Columbus State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Columbus State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Columbus State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Columbus State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 33

Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 192 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Columbus State University recognized as incurred $966,536.47 of expenditures, which was net of $337,063.36 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Dalton State College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the college's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Dalton State College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major

Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

2,408,705.28 $23,599,862.93

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,757,870.34. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to FY 2004 routine operations. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $291,033.02 with an increase of $276,389.71 in the Non-current Liabilities category. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,757,870.34 and the increase in total liabilities of $291,033.02 yields an increase in total net assets of $1,466,837.32. This increase is primarily in the category of unrestricted net assets and is due to the increase in accounts receivable.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The decrease in expenses from June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004 of ($4,231,872.14) is attributed largely to depreciation, scholarships, fellowships, and supplier and other services. The depreciation difference between the two years was ($963,742.09) and the scholarship and fellowship difference was ($1,299,207.17). Supplier and other services had a difference of ($1,714,686.81) which was due to items being encumbered instead of expended at the end of the fiscal year.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Dalton State College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

DALTON STATE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Dalton State College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Dalton State College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Dalton State College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Dalton State College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Dalton State College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Dalton State College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. Dalton State College is reporting the activity of Dalton State College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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, Dalton State College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
Dalton State College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Dalton State College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, there were no GSFIC transfers.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned. Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Dalton State College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $476,031.52 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $333,282.00 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $78,119.60, for a net increase of $255,162.40. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $731,193.92

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$557,306.25 1,795,937.79
16,992.17 1,050,947.05 $3,421,183.26

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Dalton State College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus Dalton State College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus Dalton State College), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements.
The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 22

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable As the College determines that receivables are uncollectible, the College has provided a reserve for uncollectible receivables, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb uncollectible receivables. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible receivables was $49,796.82. DSC will during FY2005 incorporate the new Senate Bill 73 guidelines where appropriate.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Dalton State College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Dalton State College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Dalton State College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Dalton State College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the

Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Dalton State College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $248,447.43 (10.03%) and $123,852.57(5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Dalton State 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $43,721.48 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Dalton State College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Dalton State College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Dalton State College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Dalton State College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 70 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Dalton State College recognized as incurred $212,502.60 of expenditures, which was net of $92,392.24 of participant contributions.

However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $631,681 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 213 N College Drive, Dalton, GA 30720-3797.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Darton College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point-of-time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Darton College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

1,102,987.61 62,659.28
490,429.84 $14,327,871.60

The total assets of the institution increased by $607,783.22. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was due to an increase of current assets in the amount of $1,362,899.51 offset by a decrease of (755,116.29) in investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $432,974.10. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities, of which $158,726.12 was in deferred revenue. The combination of the increase in total assets of $607,783.22 and the increase in total liabilities of $432,974.10 yields an increase in total net assets of $174,809.12. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Unrestricted Net Assets in the amount of $2,095,572.30, which offsets decreases in the Restricted Expendable Net Asset category of ($1,102,987.61). The restricted expendable net assets were reclassified as unrestricted for FY2004.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Operating Revenue of the College increased in FY 2004 by $2,013,702.77. The primary cause for this increase is due to a net increase in student tuition and fees of $558,035.12 and an increase of $1,062,333.86 in Federal Grants. Additionally, Auxiliary Enterprises had a net increase in revenue of over $250,000.00.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $622,659.17. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by approximately $64,760.05 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the construction and completion of the new Physical Education facility.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by approximately $190,020.29. The increase of state appropriations to Darton College has occurred because the enrollment of Darton College continues to rise. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend and future budget cuts may not have to occur while also allowing for a continued increase in enrollment.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Darton College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

DARTON COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Darton College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Darton College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Darton College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Darton College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Darton College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Darton College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Darton College is reporting the activity for the Darton College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College has no investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the College's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Darton College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Darton College.
Deposits The College has no deposits from students for housing on campus.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Darton College had an accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $586,118.33 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,119,958.63 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,064,202.39 for a net increase of
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

$55,756.24. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $641,874.57.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Darton College had no restricted expendable net assets as of June 30, 2004.
Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus).

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Darton College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

CAPITAL LEASES

OPERATING LEASES
Darton College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2008. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to three years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and other small business equipment.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Darton College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Darton College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Darton College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Darton College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a singleemployer defined benefit pension plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia 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.

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other 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, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $51,420.46. The College's total payroll for all employees was $11,928,319.79.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. 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, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amount to 9.61% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $5,651.47, of which $4,939.61 was made by the College and $711.86 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Darton College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Darton College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $215,945.49 (10.03%) and $107,650.64 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Darton College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a singleemployer 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $111,160.22 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Darton College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective selfinsured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Darton College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Darton College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Darton College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 86 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Darton College recognized as incurred $298,117.46 of expenditures, which was net of $99,566.26 of participant contributions.

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

Note 15. Component Units Darton College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Darton College (College). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The fifty-member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon, that the foundation holds and invests, is restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of the College, the foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements. The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the College's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $286,040.50 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Business Office at 2400 Gillionville Road, Albany, GA 31707. Investments for Component Units: Darton College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $859,037.00. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units: The Darton College Foundation has no long term liabilities.

EAST GEORGIA COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

East Georgia College is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The College, located in Swainsboro, Georgia, was founded in 1973 and has become known for its state-of-the-art technology, its excellent faculty, and a caring and nurturing environment for its students. The College offers associate degrees in a variety of subjects. This wide range of educational opportunities attracts a highly qualified faculty and a student body that now exceeds 1,400 students. The institution's enrollment took a slight decline in Fiscal Year 2004 due to recruiting restrictions specified by the University System of Georgia, and full-time faculty positions decreased due to the anticipated and realized reductions in state appropriation.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

East Georgia College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of East Georgia College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

767,633.38 $12,563,069.56

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($444,306.26). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($404,042.44) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($42,710.55). The primary cause for the decrease was in current liabilities, primarily due to a decrease of ($239,795.85) in deferred revenue which in turn contributed to a decrease in accounts receivable. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($444,306.26) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($42,710.55) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($401,595.71). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($412,194.28).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Non-operating revenues decreased by approximately ($608,724.58). Capital gifts and grants decreased by approximately ($4,019,521.30) because the College did not receive any transfer of capital assets from the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission during the fiscal year 2004 as in the previous fiscal year.
East Georgia College is a commuter institution without a residential population. Revenues associated with auxiliary services decreased by approximately ($4,780.72) due to a decrease in the commission revenue received from privatized operations that include the snack bar, the bookstore, and vending operations.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($159,325.57). The decrease reflects the reduction in faculty and staff positions at the institution.
Utilities increased by approximately $25,014.05 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with increased electricity and water costs that were experienced over the entire fiscal year.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($239,455.63). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for East Georgia College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the East Georgia College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. East Georgia College did not have any non-cash investing, non-capital financing, or capital and related financing transactions during the fiscal year.

Economic Outlook The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ J.

EAST GEORGIA COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations East Georgia College serves the state, regional and local communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity East Georgia College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of East Georgia College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. East Georgia College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, East Georgia College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus East Georgia College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, East Georgia College is reporting the activity for the East Georgia College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to East Georgia College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred $265,922.60 for capitalizable MRR projects to East Georgia College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students for Integrated Science Lab Kits.
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. East Georgia College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $209,729.17 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $431,145.94 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $381,144.86, for a net increase of $50,001.08. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $259,730.25
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$67,002.19 867,692.57
700.00 (155,373.58) $780,021.18

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes East Georgia College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy East Georgia College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
East Georgia College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $96,350.42 (10.03%) and $48,031.62 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description East Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $8,374.97 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. East Georgia College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. East Georgia College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although East Georgia College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against East Georgia College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 23 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, East Georgia College recognized as incurred $90,629.74 of expenditures, which was net of $38,846.28 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Component Unit Notes
East Georgia College Foundation, Inc. (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of East Georgia College (college). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the college in support of its programs. The seven-member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the college. Although the college does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the college by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the college, the foundation is considered a component unit of the college and is discretely presented in the college's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the college's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $40,882.82 to the college for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Treasurer of the Foundation, 131 College Circle, Swainsboro, GA 30401.
Investments for Component Units:
East Georgia College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $632,373.00. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. East Georgia College Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby up to 100% of the earnings may be used for academic scholarships. If all the earnings are not used for scholarships, they will be set aside as a reserve.
Long Term Liabilities:
The East Georgia College Foundation does not have any long-term liabilities.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Floyd College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Floyd College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

445,545.83
922,490.92 $12,442,455.81

The total assets of the institution increased by $239,556.27. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $210,704.72 in current assets. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $746,277.11. The primary cause for the increase was in deferred revenue, which increased by $1,073,332.51, due in a large part to the earlier registration and assessing of fees for Fall 2004. The combination of the increase in total assets of $239,556.27 and the increase in total liabilities of $746,277.11 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($506,720.84). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of restricted expendable net assets in the amount of ($328,690.73).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

$18,859,877.60

The faculty salaries and benefits category increased by $266,340.91. The increase reflects an increased cost due to the tremendous growth of the institution.
Utilities increased by $98,060.83 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004, as well as the additional costs associated with the renovation of Heritage Hall, particularly involving the Dental Hygiene department moving into the facility.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by ($229,376.38). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Floyd College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Floyd College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received

Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets

The College had a significant capital asset addition for facilities in fiscal year 2004. The Heritage Hall renovation was completed for the 2003- 2004 academic year.

For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Component Units

In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Floyd College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004.

Economic Outlook

The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a significantly reduced funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets, once deferred revenue is removed from the calculation. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last, as the effect of the new Bartow campus will not be realized until FY 2005-06 (with the exception of incurring additional costs for training/staffing for registration for Summer 2005), and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

FLOYD COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Floyd College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Floyd College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Floyd College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Floyd College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Floyd College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Floyd College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Floyd College is reporting the activity for the Floyd College Foundation, and the Cartersville/Bartow College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Floyd College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Floyd College.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Floyd College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $593,727.65 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,128,221.55 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,102,695.78, for a net increase of $25,525.77. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $619,253.42.

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

($134,656.05) (80,608.86) 249,856.22 (89,113.20)
($54,521.89)

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Floyd College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and

Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus Floyd College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus Floyd College), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements.
The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The College has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the College had no allowance for uncollectible loans.

CAPITAL LEASES
Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between 2007 and 2011. Floyd College currently has no capital leases.
OPERATING LEASES
Floyd College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2006. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to three years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and other small business equipment.
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

In 1992, Floyd College entered into a real property operating lease with the Etowah Foundation, for classroom space from 1992 through 1994 for annual rentals of $8,400.00. Over the years, additional space was added and the rent increased to the current amount of $50, 000 per year. The College anticipates termination of this agreement at the end of FY05 with the completion of the new campus at Cartersville. In 2002, Floyd College entered into a real property operating lease with Ray Dempsey, Lynn Dempsey and Rebecca Woodard for a parking lot at the Heritage Hall site in Rome for annual rentals of $6,000. The lease is one year in duration, with an option to renew annually for four years. Noncancellable operating lease expenditures in 2004 were $56,000.00 for real property.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System Of Georgia

Plan Description Floyd College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Floyd College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Floyd College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

100% 100% 100%

$577,291.91 $590,820.48 $582,376.99

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Floyd College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer

Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Floyd College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $218,346.00 (10.03%) and $108,846.87 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Floyd College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a singleemployer 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $63,870.55 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Floyd College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective selfinsured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Floyd College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Floyd College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Floyd College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the
Floyd College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 72 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Floyd College recognized as incurred $289,394.57 of expenditures, which was net of $90,088.20 of participant contributions.

The Floyd College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Floyd College (college). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. The board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the college by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the college, the foundation is considered a component unit of the college and is discretely presented in the college's financial statements.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Fort Valley State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Fort Valley State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($6,457,500.22). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($4,302,067.99) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The decrease is a net result of recording more than $5 million of accumulated depreciation associated with the library collections, and various capital equipment purchases and building improvements made during the year.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($1,379,567.65). The primary cause for the decrease was in current liabilities, primarily ($917,902.03) in accrued payables, which contributed to the decrease in current assets. The overall decrease in total assets of ($6,457,500.22) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($1,379,567.65) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($5,077,932.57). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($4,302,067.99).
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and non-
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

operating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Governmental grants and contracts increased in the amount of approximately $2.5 million. This is primarily a result of a new USDA grant of more than $1.2 million for our Cooperative Extension program and an increase in student scholarships and financial assistance.
Revenues associated with the residential life and food services, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, category increased approximately $600,000 during the year. This increase reflects an improvement in our freshmen enrollment that resulted in more students living on campus. In addition, the increase is, in part due to our change in upgrading our food services provider.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($488,403.42). The decrease is a direct result of the institution's reduction in its workforce.
Utilities increased by approximately $65,797.00 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($2,595,964.00). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Fort Valley State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Fort Valley State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

$798,525.89

Capital Assets
The University had two significant capital asset reductions in fiscal year 2004. The retirement of all capital assets below the $5,000 threshold resulted in a $600,000 reduction and a retirement of several automobiles resulted in an additional reduction of $150,000.
Fort Valley State University also completed major renovations to the College of Agriculture in FY2004. The project was funded, in part from MRR funds of $45,000 which were administered by the Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission (GSFIC).
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Economic Outlook The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is sound. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Kofi Lomotey, President Fort Valley State University

FORT VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Fort Valley State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Fort Valley State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Fort Valley State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Fort Valley State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Fort Valley State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Fort Valley State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. For FY2004, Fort Valley State University does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 13

required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Fort Valley State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Fort Valley State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Fort Valley State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,829,188.95 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $732,838.85 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $582,821.32, for a net increase of $150,017.53. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,979,206.48.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

Income Taxes Fort Valley State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 4. Inventories

Fort Valley State University had no inventories as of June 30, 2004.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable

Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the University had no allowance for uncollectible loans.

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Fort Valley State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004,

Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 25

the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Fort Valley State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $415,017.26 (10.03%) and $206,888.72 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Fort Valley State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $53,475.31 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Fort Valley State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Fort Valley State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Fort Valley State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Fort Valley State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 196 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Fort Valley State University recognized as incurred $ 1,132,856.08 of expenditures, which was net of $419,156.74 of participant contributions.

GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Georgia College & State University is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The University, located in Milledgeville, Georgia, was founded in 1889 as Georgia Normal and Industrial College. It later became Georgia State College for Women (GSCW). In 1967 it became Georgia College and was re-established as a co-educational institution. In 1995 the Board of Regents gave Georgia College university status, a new mission, and new name, "Georgia College & State University".

As the state's designated public liberal arts university, GC&SU is committed to combining the educational experiences typical of esteemed private liberal arts colleges with the affordability of public higher education. GC&SU is a residential learning community that emphasizes undergraduate education and offers selected graduate programs. The faculty is dedicated to challenging students and fostering excellence in the classroom and beyond. GC&SU seeks to endow its graduates with a passion for achievement, a lifelong curiosity, and exuberance for living.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia College & State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a

Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

fiscal snapshot of Georgia College & State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($2,762,582.63). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation increased by $7,128,887.82 but was offset by a decrease in current assets in the amount of $12,622,403.83.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

The decrease in current assets is the result of lower receivables for student accounts because fall semester tuition and fees were not recognized prior to June 30, 2004. Additionally consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($11,209,709.27). The primary cause for the decrease was a reduction in deferred revenue. Because student tuition and fees for fall semester were not recognized prior to June 30, 2004, both accounts receivable and deferred revenue were lower. This is consistent with the state auditor's observation that fall semester should not be reflected in the current fiscal year receivables and revenue.
The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($2,762,582.63) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($11,209,709.27) yields an increase in total net assets of $8,447,126.64. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $7,125,393.03. Net assets restricted for expendable represents the additional increase in total net assets.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $185,601.24. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution. Utilities increased by approximately $542,505.07 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($4,384,153.50). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Georgia College & State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Georgia College & State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles

Economic Outlook The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the University was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Dorothy Leland, President Georgia College & State University

GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia College & State University serves the state by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Georgia College & State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia College & State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Georgia College & State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia College & State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Georgia College & State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Georgia College & State University is reporting the activity for the Georgia College & State University Foundation and the Georgia College Alumni Association.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Georgia College & State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC did not transfer capital additions to Georgia College & State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall. The University implemented an application confirmation deposit in Fiscal Year 2004. These deposits are credited to student accounts for tuition and fees at registration.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Georgia College & State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,853,229.02 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $3,417,636.15 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $3,413,212.07, for a net increase of $4,424.08. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,857,653.10
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

3,385,085.41 807,045.63
$6,191,362.74

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O ther Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

$415,604.68 (808,344.44) 1,274,200.24 4,382,724.39 $5,264,184.87

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Georgia College & State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 21

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education.

Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

OPERATING LEASES Georgia College & State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2032. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to three years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and other small business equipment. In July 2003, Georgia College & State University entered into a real property operating lease with the Georgia College Alumni Association, a related party, for office space from 2003 through June 2004 for monthly rentals of $950.00. The agreement does not contain a renewal option. Under this agreement, the University paid $11,400.00 in the current year. On January 30, 2001, Georgia College & State University entered into a real property operating lease with McComb Family Trust for additional Bookstore space. The monthly rent of $1,900.00 increased in 2003 to $1,957.00 and in 2004 to $2,016.00. This operating lease will be considered for renewal in 2011. Under this agreement, the lessee paid the lessor $24,192.00 in the current year. On July 1, 2003, Georgia College & State University entered into a real property operating lease with J. Chambers for storage space at a monthly rental of $500.00. This operating lease was renewed July 1, 2004 to extend the lease to June 20, 2005. Under this agreement, the lessor paid the lessee $6,000.00 in the current year. Non-cancelable operating lease expenditures in 2004 were $41,592.00 for real property.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia College & State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia College & State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia College & State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description Georgia College & State University does not participate in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits

Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Georgia College & State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Georgia College & State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,105,084.42 (10.03%) and $550,801.39 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia College & State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions
Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $48,824.05 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Georgia College & State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Georgia College & State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia College & State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 33

Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia College & State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004. Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 236 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia College & State University recognized as incurred $751,145.20 of expenditures, which was net of $287,014.31 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Component Unit Notes
Georgia College & State University Foundation (foundation) and Georgia College & State University Alumni Association, Inc. (association) are legally separate, tax-exempt component units of Georgia College & State University (university). The foundation and alumni association act primarily as fund-raising organizations to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The boards of the foundation and association are selfperpetuating and consist of graduates and friends of the university. Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation or association, the majority of resources or income thereon, which the foundation and association hold and invest, are restricted to the activities of the university by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation and the association can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university, the foundation and the association are considered component units of the university and are discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The foundation information includes three single member limited liability companies (LLC's) whose sole member is the foundation. The limited liability companies (LLC I, II and III) were formed primarily to construct and finance various buildings and improvements located on the property of Georgia College & State University. LLC III was not officially operational until July 14, 2004.
The foundation and association are private nonprofit organizations that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the university's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $339,350 and the association distributed $159,024 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for both the Foundation and Alumni Association can be obtained from the Georgia College & State University Advancement Office at Campus Box 96, Milledgeville, GA 31061.
Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 36

Investments for Component Units:

Georgia College & State University Foundation holds endowment investments of $8.1 million and the Alumni Association holds endowment investments of $4.6 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Georgia College & State University Foundation and Alumni Association, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 4.75% of the fair market value at year end may be used for academic scholarships and .25% may be used for administrative expenses.

Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:

Student Activities Facilities Bonds are issued by the Georgia College & State University Real Estate Foundation, a component unit of the GC&SU Foundation, to finance a student activities facility at Georgia College & State University. The bonds mature serially and are serviced by a pledge of a portion of student activity fees paid by students each semester at Georgia College & State University.

Lease Revenue Bonds were issued by the Georgia College & State University Foundation Property II, LLC to finance a student center and parking lot at the University. The bonds, serial and term, are secured by a pledge of a portion of rental income to be paid by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.

Introduction

Gainesville College is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The institution, located south of Gainesville, Georgia was founded in 1964 and has become one of the premier two-year colleges in the state, specializing in a strong core curriculum and quality support services and offering Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science degrees. With a second campus south of Athens, Georgia, opening in 2003, the College enjoys both high student satisfaction ratings and high retention rates and has integrated technology into both the curriculum and administrative services. The institution attracts a highly qualified faculty and student body of more than 5,000 students each year. In the fall semester of 2003, the College experienced an unprecedented enrollment growth due primarily to the acquisition of its second campus.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Gainesville College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Gainesville College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($270,977.29). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that this decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($1,356,502.55) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. This decrease coupled with an increase in current assets of $1,036,544.26 resulted in the overall decrease. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $196,870.76. The primary increase was in current liabilities, particularly deferred revenue, which reflects the College's increased enrollment for

summer semester. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($270,977.29) and the increase in total liabilities of $196,870.76 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($467,848.05). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of unrestricted net assets in the amount of ($850,382.40).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $1,402,749.16. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution and the addition of a small number of new employees.
Utilities increased by approximately $55,651.26 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004 and the additional utilities for the Oconee campus.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by approximately $687,827.74. Due to a sluggish economy, a challenge has been created for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Gainesville College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Gainesville College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash

used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Gainesville College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Gainesville College Foundation had endowment investments of $8.1 M as of June 30, 2004. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will monitor resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

GAINESVILLE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Gainesville College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Gainesville College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Gainesville College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Gainesville College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Gainesville College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Gainesville College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Gainesville College is reporting the activity for the Gainesville College Foundation.

Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia will continue to report summer revenues and expenses in the year in which the pre-dominate activity takes place.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments Gainesville College has no long-term investments
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable
Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Gainesville College when complete.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Gainesville College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $602,818.61 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,281,976.29 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,322,430.62, for
Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

a net decrease of $40,454.33. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $562,364.28

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$4,683.57 271,785.47 298,017.07 1,644,470.42 $2,218,956.53

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Gainesville College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.

Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental program, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Gainesville College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Gainesville College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Gainesville College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 25

Funding Policy Gainesville College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Gainesville College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $257,551.57 (10.03%) and $128,391.10 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Gainesville 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $79,641.56 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Gainesville College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of
Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Gainesville College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Gainesville College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Gainesville College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Gainesville College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 87 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Gainesville College recognized as incurred $338,993.81 of expenditures, which was net of $104,797.44 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units Component Unit Notes Organization Gainesville College Foundation (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Gainesville College (College). The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. The thirtysix member board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests is restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the College, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements. The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Non-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is January 1 through December 31. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Foundation distributed $295,604.23 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation office at 3820 Mundy Mill Road; Oakwood, GA 30566.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia Perimeter College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Georgia Perimeter College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. The readers are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($4,898,956.56) while the total liabilities for the year decreased by ($4,431,161.85) resulting in a total decrease in net assets of ($467,794.71). These changes are due to the disposal of $1.5 million dollars in equipment and the change in categorization of funds invested in LGIP along with $1.5 million dollars being moved from construction work in progress from the prior year, an asset to an expense during the fiscal year. The overall decrease can be attributed to these factors along with depreciation expense and the fact that fewer funds were used during fiscal year 2004 for the purchase of equipment than in previous years.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 2

constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Federal grants and contracts increased in the amount of approximately $2,000,000.00. The increase is due to an increase in Pell grant awards and a one time Transportation Enhancement Grant.
Tuition and fees increased by $5,700,000.00. Approximately $3,000,000.00 of this increase is due to a change in accounting policy by Georgia Perimeter College. In the past, all summer semester revenues had been deferred and reported in the subsequent fiscal year. Beginning this year, the College will record revenues earned through June 30 in the current fiscal year and revenue earned after June 30 in the following fiscal year. Therefore, the FY2004 statements reflect tuition and fees for one and one half summer terms.
The remaining increase in tuition and fee revenue is due to enrollment and a 3% increase in student fee rates.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $5,003,932.11. This increase is due, in part, to the change in accounting policy for summer semester. The faculty salaries for the first half of summer semester 2004 were expensed in fiscal year 2004. Therefore, as with revenues, the college is compliant with GASB 34/35. The rest of the increase is due to additional faculty and staff required to meet the demands of increased enrollment.
Utilities decreased by ($226,448.76) during the past year. This decrease is considered minimal requiring no further explanation.

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 5

Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations increased by $1,929,332.37. State appropriation revenue was increased by the formula funding for enrollment growth.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Georgia Perimeter College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section reports the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________, President Georgia Perimeter College

GEORGIA PERIMETER COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Perimeter College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Georgia Perimeter College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia Perimeter College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Georgia Perimeter College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Perimeter College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Georgia Perimeter College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. For FY2004, Georgia Perimeter College does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 13

by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days to 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 14

Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Georgia Perimeter College when complete. There were no transfers for the year ended June 30, 2004. Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Georgia Perimeter College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $2,232,232.48 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,866,148.13 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,838,874.80 for
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 15

a net increase of $27,273.33. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,259,505.81

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 16

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O the r Unre stricted Total Unre stricte d Ne t A sse ts

$17,268.88 4,685,031.77
175,000.00 1,225,257.48 $6,102,558.13

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Georgia Perimeter College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 17

Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. Georgia Perimeter College had no employees covered by ERS for the year ended June 30, 2004.

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 26

are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Georgia Perimeter College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Georgia Perimeter College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,384,915.29 (10.03%) and $690,392.61 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Perimeter 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $692,657.56 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 27

healthcare plan. Georgia Perimeter College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Georgia Perimeter College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia Perimeter College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Perimeter College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), if any, are generally considered to be actions against the State of Georgia. Accordingly, significant litigation, claims
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY2004 28

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, 2004. Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 217 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health, dental, and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia Perimeter College recognized as incurred $776,425 of expenditures, which was net of $275,563 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Georgia State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($611,605.93).
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($772,305.88).
The unrestricted net asset balance of $57,404,681.92 is allocated to Reserve for Encumbrances in the amount of $15,146,385.02, Reserve for Renewals and Replacements in the amount of $10,877,775.62, and the remaining balance is primarily allocated to Auxiliary Enterprises and Student Activities.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Revenues associated with student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, increased $10,307,619.63 during the year. This reflects an increase in both tuition and fees for the University. Grants and Contracts decreased in the amount of ($2,689,295.67) with an increase in federal grants of $6,528,197.63, a decrease in state grants of ($2,137,861.66) and a decrease in local and private grants of ($7,079,631.64).
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,945,349.02. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $321,416.40 during the past year.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by ($1,003,086.63). Gifts increased by $4,195,365.07 primarily due to Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) funded capital improvements that do not meet the capitalization threshold. State Capital Gifts decreased by $21,374,962.93 from Fiscal Year 2003 primarily due to the prior year addition of the Helen M. Aderhold Learning Center.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Georgia State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The

third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
In term of future projects, the University's top capital priority is the Science Teaching Laboratory Building. The Board of Regents, in spring 2000, added our proposal for the 202,000 gross square foot building to its Major Capital Funding List. Of the total $71.35 million estimated to construct the building, the University has requested state funding of $46.35 million and the remainder is to be funded through non-state sources.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Long-Term Debt
Georgia State University had a Long-Term Debt of $54,840,332.36 of which $8,646,615.01 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2004.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt see Notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Georgia State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Georgia State University Foundation had endowment investments of $62 million as of June 30, 2004 and long-term debt of $50.1 million in the form two capital leases, one bond and one promissory note. The Georgia State University Research Foundation had endowment investments of $2 M and no long-term

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 6

debt. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units. Economic Outlook The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University has been impacted by state mandated reductions in appropriations due to the current economic situation. However, strong fiscal management combined with an increase in tuition and fees has enabled the University to continue to grow within this challenging environment. The overall financial position of the University is strong. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like the last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. ____________________ Carl V.

GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Georgia State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Georgia State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Georgia State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Georgia State University is reporting the activity for the Georgia State University Foundation, and the Georgia State University Research Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality Institutions of the University System of Georgia will continue to report summer revenues and expenses in the year in which the predominant activity takes place.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also include amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies and resale inventories are carried at average cost.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000.00 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC reimbursed capital expenditures valued at $3,126,549.48 to Georgia State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Georgia State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $9,709,611.14 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $7,351,119.36 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $7,099,811.74, for a net increase of $251,307.62. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $9,960,918.76.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$57,404,681.92

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Georgia State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the notes/loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

100% 100% 100%

$ 9,706,222.04 $ 9,755,816.34 $ 9,473,076.86

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia State University 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 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.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $709,113.99. The University's total payroll for all employees was $205,730,959.01.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amount to 10.46 % of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $84,843.36, of which $74,207.17 was made by the University and $10,636.19 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan established and administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, under which it may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of providing retirement and death benefits for eligible faculty and principal administrators. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy
Member contribution requirements are established by the Board of Trustees of the Teachers Retirement System. Employer contributions are established by statute and may be amended only by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia. The employer contributes 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Georgia State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $6,948,612.35 (10.03%) and $3,463,914.43 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions and Vesting Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $482,759.77 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
Georgia State University is a participant in the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Health Benefits Plan, which is a self-insurance program of health and dental benefits for employees and retirees of the University System of Georgia. Georgia State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to the Health Benefits Plan for this health insurance coverage. The Health Benefits Plan is included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - Administrative Central Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims of the Health Benefits Plan. The Health Benefits Plan is considered a self-sustaining risk fund that provides health coverage for its members up to a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person and dental coverage up to an annual maximum of $1,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to process claims in accordance with the Health Benefits Plan as established by the Board of Regents.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Georgia State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 33

disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position. Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004. Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. Employees who are eligible for retirement or disability under the criteria established by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia and who have at least ten years of service with the University System of Georgia are eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. As of June 30, 2004, there were 819 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia State University recognized as incurred $3,299,451.11 of expenditures, which was net of $1,360,921.62 of participant contributions.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 35

Note 15. Component Units
The Georgia State University Foundation (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia State University (University). The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the University in support of its programs. The 34-member board of the Foundation, of which 7 members are exofficio, is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation distributed $16,737,330 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from Assistant Vice President Development Finance and Operations, Georgia State University Foundation, P. O. Box 3963, Atlanta, GA 30302-3963.
The Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc. (Research Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia State University and was established to contribute to the scientific, literary, educational, and charitable functions of the University in securing gifts, contributions, and grants from individuals, private organizations, and public agencies, and in obtaining contracts with such individuals or entities for the performance of sponsored research, development, or other programs by the various colleges, schools, departments or other units of the University. Most of the research grants awarded to the Research Foundation are subcontracted to the University, which is responsible for the fiscal administration of the grants. The ten member board of the Research Foundation is selfperpetuating and consists of faculty and administrators of the University. Because the resources held by the Research Foundation can only be used by or for the benefit of the University, the Research Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements. The Research Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Research Foundation paid to the University $46,288,108 in grant revenue and $540,021 for support of research activities. They also paid to the Foundation $750,000 for an Eminent Scholar Chair in Drug Discovery. Complete financial statements for the Research Foundation can be obtained from the office of the Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc., Alumni Hall, Suite G76, Atlanta, GA 30303.

Investments for Component Units:
The Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $62 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donor and the Foundation's current endowment spending policy. The Trustees of the Foundation adopted an endowment spending policy that provides for the allocation of endowment funds at the rate of 70% of the previous year's allocation plus 30% of the current year's market values at a spending rate of 4.5% of the market value of the endowment funds. A 1% management fee is used to fund the Foundation's administrative activities. The balance of the return is applied to the value of the endowment funds.

Rialto Center - Capital lease
During 1994, the Foundation purchased and has since renovated facilities currently occupied by the University's School of Music. The project included the purchase and renovation of two existing office buildings and the Foundation entered into a long-term land lease for the renovation and use of an existing performing arts theater (Rialto Theater). The project is being financed through contributions to the Foundation and through bonds issued by the Downtown Development Authority of the City of Atlanta (Authority) and loaned to The University Financing Foundation (TUFF). The Foundation has entered into long-term lease commitments with TUFF to provide for the debt service payments on the bonds and other bond financing related expenses. The Foundation leases the facilities to the University through a series of oneyear renewable lease agreements. Title to the two office buildings will pass to the Foundation at the end of the lease period or the retirement of the bonds, whichever occurs first.
During 2004, the 1994 bonds issued by the Authority were refunded to obtain savings in debt service and to obtain funds for improvements to the Rialto Theater. Accordingly, the Authority entered into a new loan agreement with TUFF and a new agreement with the Foundation as the guarantor of the bonds. The guarantee is expressly limited to the unrestricted income and
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 37

unrestricted assets of the Foundation. The terms of the long-term lease commitment between TUFF and the Foundation were modified to reflect the new interest rate of the bonds, the additional proceeds available for capital improvements, the additional bond financing-related expenses and extending the term of the lease through November 1, 2015. Pursuant to this transaction, the Foundation also formed Rialto Center, Limited Liability Company (LLC), a single member LLC with the Foundation as the sole member, for the purpose of holding the related capital lease. Financial statements of the Foundation incorporate the financial activities of Rialto Center, LLC. Interest expense relating to the TUFF lease obligation for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $293,702 and $296,213, respectively.

Annual debt service requirements to maturity for the Rialto Center Capital Lease are as follows:

Alpharetta Campus Facilities Capital lease
On September 23, 1998, $10,600,000 of revenue bonds were issued by the Development Authority of Alpharetta, Georgia (Development Authority) for the purpose of financing the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing educational facilities located in the City of Alpharetta to be leased by the Foundation. The bonds are special limited obligation bonds payable by the Development Authority from lease payments made to it by the Foundation. The lease obligates the Foundation, on a limited recourse basis, to make lease payments sufficient to pay 83.5% of principal and interest on the bonds with the balance to be paid by the Development Authority. The Foundation in turn subleases the facilities to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (Board of Regents) for the use of the University. The liability of the Foundation is limited to the interest of the Foundation in the project and the rents, profits, issues, products and proceeds thereof. The City of Alpharetta is obligated to make 100% of the principal and interest payments on the bonds to the extent rental payments derived from the project are insufficient for such purposes. Interest expense related to lease obligations with the Development Authority amounted to $492,378 and $364,793 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The bonds are special limited obligation bonds of the ADA payable from funds received from the Foundation pursuant to a promissory note between the ADA and the Foundation.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Gordon College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Gordon College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

3,280,085.60 $31,221,296.08

The total assets of the institution increased by $208,533.50. This increase was due to an increase in current assets.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $658,420.28. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities. The change from prior year of $896,754.82 in funds held for other organizations contributed to the increase in total liabilities. The combination of the increase in total assets of $208,533.50 and the increase in total liabilities of $658,420.28 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($449,886.78). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($1,987,948.76).
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflects a decrease in the net assets at the end of the year. Some highlights of the information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets are as follows:
The increase in operating revenue is due in large part to the increases in tuition and fees, combined with the increase in student enrollment amounted to over $511,000.
Operating expense for salaries and benefits increased over $238,000. This increase was due to filling several vacant positions, along with the increase in health insurance and other benefits.
Another cause for the increase in operating expense is the change of expensing items costing less that $5,000. The policy in the prior year was to capitalize items $1,000 or over.

With the tuition and fee increases for Fiscal Year 2004 Gordon College's revenue reflects an increase of $511,062.61, helping to offset the increased expenditures due to improvements in technology and generally higher costs.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $238,459.54. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities decreased by approximately ($48,022.16) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with the negotiation of a new contract with the gas utility company.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($118,821.33). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Gordon College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Gordon College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash

used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

GORDON COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Gordon College serves the state, and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Gordon College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Gordon College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Gordon College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Gordon College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Gordon College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Gordon College is reporting the activity for the Gordon College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Gordon College when complete.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Gordon College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $313,514.37 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $267,168.99 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $337,419.52, for a net decrease of $70,250.53. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $243,263.84

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$4,818,147.58

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Gordon College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus Gordon College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The College has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $4,341.00.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Gordon College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Gordon College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Gordon College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

100% 100% 100%

$466,188.64 $456,222.56 $414,185.31

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Gordon College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a singleemployer defined benefit pension plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia 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.

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other 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, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $56,327. The College's total payroll for all employees was $56,327.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. 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, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amount to 5.66% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $6,765.50, of which $5,920.54 was made by the College and $844.96 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Gordon College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Gordon College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $279,471.23 (10.03%) and $139,318.47 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Gordon College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a singleemployer 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $20,623.56 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Gordon College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Gordon College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Gordon College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Gordon College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 22 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Gordon College recognized as incurred $104,039.82 of expenditures, which was net of $28,087.68 of participant contributions.

As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the college's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is January 1 through December 31. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $121,980 to the college for restricted and unrestricted purposes.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia Southern University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Georgia Southern University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $48,902,706.17 A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $49,654,148.84 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. Investment in Plant increase is due primarily to the inception of a capital lease between the institution and the GSU Housing Foundation, Inc., for acquisition of two new residence halls. The new residence halls provide on-campus housing to our students. Both residence halls are operated by the institution's Auxiliary Services division under a management agreement with the GSU Housing Foundation, Inc. University assets are utilized for acquisition and improvements to various areas of the institution for fulfillment of the university's mission. .

The total liabilities for the year increased by $43,200,645.22. The primary cause of the increase was due to the inception of the capital lease discussed above concerning related increase in assets, investment in plant. The combination of the increase in total assets of $48,902,706.17 and the increase in total liabilities of $43,200,645.22 yields an increase in total net assets of $5,702,060.95. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $7,638,077.83.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and non-operating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflects a positive year with an increase in the net assets at the end of the year. Some highlights of the information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets are as follows: -Georgia Southern University enrollment continues to grow even in-light of continuing increases in admission requirements. The effects of increased enrollment can be seen primarily in revenue sources of tuition and student services areas of Auxiliary Services and Athletics. Revenue increases related to higher enrollment coupled with decreases in operating costs due to additional state budget reductions and the absence of salary merit increases in fiscal year 2004 resulted in a net increase in net assets for the year. -Sponsored program revenues increased during fiscal year 2004 due to increases in enrollment, which drive increases in Federal financial aid funds available to the larger student body. Additionally, the institution has increased successful solicitation of grant funds which resulted in over $1,000,000 in additional grant funds this year. -During fiscal year 2004 we did not have any major capital projects completed and remitted to the institution by GSFIC, resulting in a decrease of other revenues over fiscal year 2003.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $583,930.97. The minimal change in total personal service expenses is the result of the absence of merit salary increases in fiscal year 2004 despite additional increases in health insurance premiums for the employees of the institution. Delays in filling vacant positions due to budget reductions minimized the effect of increase health insurance premiums.
Utility costs increased by $853,722.75 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased fuel costs and the introduction of new classroom buildings during the year.
Non-operating revenues (expenses) decreased by ($4,544,360.34). The reduction is primarily due to additional reductions in state appropriations and reduced investment income. The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Georgia Southern University.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Georgia Southern University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from

investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets

The University had one significant capital asset addition of facilities in fiscal year 2004. Two residence halls were constructed by the GSU Housing Foundation, Inc. The Foundation entered into a capital lease with Georgia Southern University through a lease/lease back agreement. The lease is considered a capital lease because ownership of the facilities returns to the institution at the end of the 27 year lease term for a nominal value of $10.00. For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Component Units

In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Georgia Southern University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Georgia Southern University Foundation had endowment investments of $28M as of June 30, 2004. The Georgia Southern Housing Foundation had financing lease investment of $34.5M. The Southern Boosters, Inc. had total assets of $2.7M and long-term liability of $250,636. The Georgia Southern University Research and Service Foundation had no long-term investments or debt. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.

Economic Outlook

The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the University was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Southern University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Georgia Southern University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia, which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia Southern University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Georgia Southern University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Southern University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Georgia Southern University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Georgia Southern University is reporting the activity for the Georgia Southern University Foundation, Inc., the Georgia Southern University Housing Foundation, Inc., Georgia Southern University Research and Service Foundation, Inc., and Southern Boosters Athletic Foundation.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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 intrauniversity transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Total Return Fund is included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies and Resale inventories are valued at cost using the weighted average cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Georgia Southern University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004 GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $2,436,332.88 to Georgia Southern University and recorded as gift revenue. GSFIC also reimburses universities for certain predetermined items of loose equipment and maintenance, repairs and replacements (MRR) for which the University records as capital assets and gift revenue as the cost is incurred. For the year ended June 30, 2004 Georgia Southern University recorded loose equipment additions valued at cost of $ 367,476.06 and MRR valued at cost of $875,376.83.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Georgia Southern University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $3,833,734.16 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $2,884,015.28 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,886,702.79, for a net decrease of $2,687.51. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $3,831,046.65.

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as non-current assets.

Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 21

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O ther Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

$1,309,754.91 6,740,188.14 139,000.00 6,535,952.49
$14,724,895.54

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Georgia Southern University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 22

defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 23

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus Georgia Southern University) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus Georgia Southern University), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements. The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Southern University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments.

Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Georgia Southern University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 33

of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Georgia Southern University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a SelfInsurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia Southern University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Southern University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 20-331, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 34

retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 515 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia Southern University recognized as incurred $2,057,864.97 of expenditures, which was net of $822,374.39 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Georgia Southern University Foundation, Inc. is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia Southern University. The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The fortyone member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the university. Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the university by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university, the foundation is considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features.

However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia Southwestern State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Georgia Southwestern State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The

Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

1,421,685.78 $18,978,645.48

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($232,470.30). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to an decrease of ($1,094,305.48) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($573,322.36). The primary cause for the decrease was in current liabilities, primarily ($ 830,985.49) in Deposits Held for Other Organizations. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($232,470.30) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($573,322.36) yields an increase in total net assets of $340,852.06.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($528,140.29). This decrease was due to a reduction in faculty and a one-time decrease in health care expenses related to the E&G fund. Utilities decreased by approximately ($92,642.82) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with energy cost savings in fiscal year 2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($600,468.07). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Georgia Southwestern State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Georgia Southwestern State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The University has no significant capital asset additions for facilities in fiscal year 2004. Currently there is a $ 20 million dollar Student Success Center that is to be completed in 2005.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Georgia Southwestern State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Georgia Southwestern State University Foundation had endowment investments in the amount of $22.4 million.
Economic Outlook
The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. Even with a reduction in state appropriations of seven percent, the University was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Southwestern State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Georgia Southwestern State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia Southwestern State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Georgia Southwestern State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Southwestern State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Georgia Southwestern State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Georgia Southwestern State University is reporting the activity for the Georgia Southwestern Research and Development Corporation, Inc. and the Georgia Southwestern State University Foundation, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are recorded on the consumption method and are valued at cost, using the weighted average method. Resale inventories are valued at costing using the weighted average method.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Georgia Southwestern State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Georgia Southwestern State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Georgia Southwestern State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $755,501.51 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $484,309.81 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $530,028.28, for a net decrease of (45,718.47). The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $709,783.04.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

(1,110,131.21) $1,375,646.61

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Georgia Southwestern State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 Georgia Southwestern State University had no allowance for uncollectible loans.

OPERATING LEASES
Georgia Southwestern State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2008. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to three years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and other small business equipment.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia Southwestern State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia Southwestern State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia Southwestern State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary.

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Georgia Southwestern State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal

Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Georgia Southwestern State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $ 420,941.46 (10.03%) and $ 209,842.22 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Southwestern State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $ 25,419.84 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Georgia Southwestern State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Georgia Southwestern State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia Southwestern State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Southwestern State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 141 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia Southwestern State University recognized as incurred $442,724.90 of expenditures, which was net of $ 201,169.58 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
The Georgia Southwestern Foundation, Inc. is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia Southwestern State University. The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The 36-member Board of Trustees of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates, community members and other friends of the university. Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the university by donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The Georgia Southwestern Research and Development Corporation, Inc. (GSWR&DC) is also a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia Southwestern State University. The GSWR&DC acts primarily to manage research grants and contracts in support of the university's mission. The 12-member Board of Trustees is composed of university personnel and community members. The GSWR&DC does not regularly distribute income to the university. The activities of the GSWR&DC support the research mission of the university and, accordingly, it is considered a component unit of the university
The Foundation and GSWR&DC are private nonprofit organizations that report under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the university's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $1,391,230 to the university for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 512 West Forsyth Street, Americus, Georgia 31709.
Investments for Component Units:
Georgia Southwestern Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $22.4 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Georgia Southwestern Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 5% to 6% of the earnings may be used for expenses. The remaining earnings are set aside as a reserve.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:
The Foundation does not have any long-term debt.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Kennesaw State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Kennesaw State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $6,036,913.16. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $13,314,850.29 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The University entered into three additional capital leases for office space and added parking facilities. The increase in investment in plant was offset by a reduction in accounts receivable which is primarily attributable to a change in the presentation of receivables for fall registration and is mirrored by a decrease in deferred revenue in current liabilities.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($1,246,549.13). Again, the decrease is primarily attributable to the change in presentation of deferred revenue. Capital lease liabilities increased by $9,226,399.98 due to the addition of capital leases discussed above. The combination of the increase in total assets of $6,036,913.16 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($1,246,549.13) yields an increase in total net assets of $7,283,462.29. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $4,088,450.31.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Total revenues increased by $8,921,325.96. Tuition and fees increased by $8,054,854.14 due to continued double-digit growth rate in the student population and a small increase in tuition rates. Auxiliary contributed $3,125,059.34 to the increase, again due to the growth in student population. Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by ($1,784,116.26). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Kennesaw State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Total expenses increased by $3,531,647.97. The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,354,177.84 primarily reflecting the addition of faculty required to accommodate the increase in student population.
Utilities increased by $100,675.39 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased electricity costs due to the addition of new facilities.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Kennesaw State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The University entered into three additional capital leases for office space in fiscal year 2004. Additional parking spaces were added to the parking decks already under capital lease, thereby increasing the rental payment and the value of the lease. In addition, the Bobby Bailey Athletic Facility and two additional parking lots were completed, both of which were under construction in fiscal year 2003.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Kennesaw State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Kennesaw State University Foundation had endowment investments of $12,010,588.00 as of June 30, 2004. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 6

flat funded year, the University was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Betty L.

KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Kennesaw State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Kennesaw State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Kennesaw State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Kennesaw State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Kennesaw State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Kennesaw State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for Foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Kennesaw State University is reporting the activity for the Kennesaw State University Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for Foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund and certain investments managed by the Kennesaw State University Foundation are included under investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.

Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment. Residual values of 10% of the cost of infrastructure, buildings and building improvements and facilities and other improvements is taken into consideration in calculating depreciation.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Kennesaw State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, there were no capital additions transferred to Kennesaw State University.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Kennesaw State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $3,202,112.52 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $2,720,605.28 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,388,360.94, for
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

a net increase of $332,244.34. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $3,534,356.86.

Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.

Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$3,843,043.50 1,910,524.58
7,506,788.57 $13,260,356.65

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Kennesaw State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

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.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $154,000.19. The University's total payroll for all employees was $66,663,786.02.
All of the University's employees covered by ERS are under the old plan whereby member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amount to 10.5 % of covered payroll.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $18,600.50, of which $16,290.46 was made by the University and $2,310.04 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Kennesaw State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Kennesaw State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $2,400,143.97 (10.03%) and $1,196,999.87 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Kennesaw State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $393,113.39 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Kennesaw State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Kennesaw State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.

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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Kennesaw State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Kennesaw State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 168 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Kennesaw State University recognized as incurred $689,616.79 of expenditures, which was net of $234,853.90 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Kennesaw State University (University). The Foundation's mission is to be advocates for the University and to receive, invest, account for and allocate private gifts and contributions in support of the University. The Foundation provides student housing and parking and leases administrative space to the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation distributed $2,542,605.00 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 1000 Chastain Rd. Kennesaw, GA 30114.
Investments for Component Units:
Kennesaw State University Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $12,010,588.00. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Kennesaw State University Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 4% of the earnings may be used for academic scholarships.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Development Authority of Cobb County issued revenue bonds and loaned the proceeds to the Foundation in a variable interest rate loan which is secured by three letters of credit.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 35

During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation purchased an apartment complex and assumed a note payable to a financial institution. The note matures April 2010 with a final payment of the entire outstanding principal balance. The note bears interest at a rate of 8.58%.

The obligations of the Foundation to repay these liabilities are secured by a deed to secure debt, an assignment of rents and leases, and by a security agreement which encumbers the Foundation's interest in the projects and revenues.

MACON STATE COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Macon State College is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. Since its inception, the College has grown and expanded in many areas. Initially offering two-year transfer programs, career programs, and one-year certificates, the College received approval from the Board of Regents in October 1996 to begin offering baccalaureate programs in Information Technology, Health Services Administration, and Health Information Management. With the addition of other baccalaureate programs the College has further expanded its level of programming and service to the region.

The College's main campus, located in Macon, Georgia, is complemented by the new Warner Robins Center in Warner Robins, Georgia. Enrollment at the College has increased well over 50% since the mission change in 1996. Enrollment for Fall 2003 continued to increase with a total enrollment of over 5,400 students. The continued emphasis on its focused mission and its professionally oriented baccalaureate degrees has positioned the College to continue as a major economic driver in the Central Georgia region. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Macon State College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Macon State College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

21,274,906.74
73,449.96 53,430.60 2,757,137.10 $24,158,924.40

The total assets of the institution increased by $8,401,233.82. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in plant less accumulated depreciation. The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission transferred title to the Warner Robins Campus to Macon State College which accounted for $5 Million. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $2,017,711.22. This increase was due to an increase in deferred revenue of $1,101,557.39 and an increase in other liabilities of $608,928.96. Other
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

liabilities are comprised of payments by students which have not yet been applied to their future semester. The combination of the increase in total assets of $8,401,233.82 and the increase in total liabilities of $2,017,711.22 yields an increase in total net assets of $6,383,522.60. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $5,569,493.91.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Total revenue increased by $9,550,314.84. The largest increase was in the capital gifts and grants which consisted of the transfer of the Warner Robins Campus to Macon State College. Included in these capital gifts and grants is the land and the former Thomas Elementary School donated by the City of Warner Robins which was valued at $788,000.00. Also included in this category is $5,305,040.81 from the State which funded construction of the project.
Student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, increased by $1,221,437.70 or 25%. Several factors contributed to this increase including an increase in the cost of tuition over the previous year, an increase in the number of students and credit hours, and an increase in the number of students taking upper level courses which are charged at a higher rate.
Overall, grants and contracts increased $691,135.92. The large differences between the current and previous year in the Federal Grants are a result of reclassifying grants between operating and non-operating.
Other modest increases were seen in the areas of sales and services of educational departments which includes the Continuing Education Department, Institute for Business and Information Management, and the Educational Technology Training Center. The Bookstore also recorded an increase in revenue of $431,726.31.
Total operating expenses increased $2,602,773.44. There were modest increases in all areas except Scholarships and Fellowships which increased $849,420.24 or 28% and Supplies and Other Services which increased $797,391.66 or 12%. The increase in Scholarships and Fellowships is due to the increase in the number of students enrolled. A large portion of the increase in supplies and other services is due to increased utility and maintenance costs, as well
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

as one time costs, associated with the three new buildings put into service during Fiscal Year 2004.
Salaries for both faculty and staff increased almost solely as a result of new positions created due to the growth in student enrollment.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Macon State College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The College had a significant number of facilities added to capital assets this fiscal year. Among the additions were the completion of the Warner Robins Campus consisting of the renovation of the Thomas Hall, construction of the Administrative Services Building, and completion of all associated infrastructure work for the campus. Title to the Warner Robins Campus was transferred to the College by GSFIC. The Jones Building was also completed and occupied on the Macon campus during Fiscal Year 2004; however, title to the building had not been transferred to the College as of June 30, 2004.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Component Units In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39 Macon State College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY 2004. The Macon State College Foundation, Inc. holds $5,818,673 in net endowed assets as of June 30, 2004. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units. Economic Outlook The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate an increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _________________________ David A.

MACON STATE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The purpose of Macon State College is to advance the intellectual, cultural, social, economic, recreational, and physical development of those within commuting distance of the College's two campuses. The College's primary objective is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for full constructive lives in a rapidly changing and increasingly global environment. The College is strongly committed to quality education and student success through excellence and innovation in teaching.
Reporting Entity Macon State College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Macon State College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Macon State College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Macon State College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Macon State College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Macon State College is reporting the activity for the Macon State College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the first in first out basis.
Non-current Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as non-current assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Macon State College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $5,000,000.00 to Macon State College.
Deposits The College held no student deposits at June 30, 2004
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Macon State College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $808,409.78 as of July 1, 2003. For FY 2004, $2,510,734.41 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,542,691.27 for a net decrease of $31,956.86. The ending balance as of June 30, 2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $776,452.92.
Non-current Liabilities Non-current liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Macon State College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Non-operating revenues: Non-operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as non-operating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Macon State College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Macon State College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Macon State College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Macon State 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 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.

Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other 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, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $79,539.42. The College's total payroll for all employees was $16,503,678.31.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. 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, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the amount to 10.41% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $9,337.49, of which $8,161.53 was made by the College and $1,175.96 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Macon State College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employees' earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Macon State College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $465,472.46 (10.03%) and $ 232,040.43 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Macon State 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $39,675.08 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Macon State College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Macon State College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Macon State College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Macon State College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 71 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Macon State College recognized as incurred $326,548.28 of expenditures, which was net of $127,690.92 of participant contributions.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Medical College of Georgia (MCG), the oldest school of medicine in Georgia, was incorporated in 1828 as the Medical Academy of Georgia and is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The College, located in Augusta, Georgia, has become known for its worldclass instructional, clinical, and research programs. The college offers more than 40 academic programs in allied health sciences, dentistry, graduate studies, medicine, and nursing at the certificate, baccalaureate, masters, doctoral and first professional levels. Additionally, MCG offers residency training in medical and dental specialty areas. This wide range of educational opportunities attracts a highly qualified faculty and student body of more than 2,400 students each year. A brief historical comparison of faculty and student levels follows:

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Medical College of Georgia is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Medical College of Georgia. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

3,088,543.32 $219,341,895.55

The total assets of the institution increased by $18,227,675.91. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to increases in current and other assets of $6,331,849.45 and $9,955,408.35 respectively and $1,940,418.11 in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $11,512,627.36. This was due to an increase in current liabilities of $8,284,051.88 and an increase in noncurrent liabilities of $3,228,575.48. The increase in long-term liabilities, primarily capital payables, contributed to the increase in invested in capital assets, net of debt. The combination of the increase in total assets of $18,227,675.91 and the net increase in total liabilities of $11,512,627.36 yields an increase in total net assets of $6,715,048.55. The increase in total net assets primarily reflects an increase in restricted net assets.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Total operating revenues increased by $35,556,015.09 from 2003 to 2004 due in part to increased tuition and fees of $2,150,336.48, and increased federal, state and non-governmental grants of $11,867,364.70, $8,033,401.94 and $15,851,644.23 respectively. Increases in other operating revenues include $2,465,024.96 in sales and services of educational departments and $2,263,347.65 in auxiliary activity for the year. Increases were offset by a decrease in other operating revenues of ($7,075,104.87).

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $9,675,267.63. The increase reflects incremental positions and increased salaries at the College. The increase also reflects costs of health insurance for the employees of the institution. Utilities decreased by approximately ($135,573.37) during the past year. The decrease was due to efficiencies realized during the past year.

Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($5,065,674.22). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Medical College of Georgia. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend. Other non-operating activity includes a decrease of ($3,841,678.48) in non-governmental grants, which were offset in part by a $317,927.03 increase in investment income.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the Medical College of Georgia is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets

The College had no significant capital asset additions for facilities in fiscal year 2004. For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Component Units

In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Medical College of Georgia has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004: Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc., Medical College of Georgia Physicians Practice Group Foundation, Medical College of Georgia Research Institute, Medical College of Georgia Dental Foundation, and Medical College of Georgia Health, Inc. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.

Economic Outlook

The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Medical College of Georgia serves the local, State, and national communities by providing educational programs for health professionals, biomedical scientists, and educators at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels and for lifelong learning through excellence in teaching and the total development of students in response to the health needs of the State of Georgia. The College strives to be a leading center of excellence in research through the generation and application of biomedical knowledge and technology to human health and disease, and to play an expanding role in the transfer of technology to the health care delivery system.
Reporting Entity Medical College of Georgia is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Medical College of Georgia as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Medical College of Georgia does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Medical College of Georgia is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Medical College of Georgia) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Medical College of Georgia is reporting the activity for the Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc., Medical College of Georgia Physicians Practice Group Foundation, Medical College of Georgia Research Institute, Medical College of Georgia Dental Foundation, and Medical College of Georgia Health, Inc.
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies and fuel oil are recorded on the consumption method and are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the firstin, first-out method. Detailed information on Inventories is included within Note 4 to the financial statements.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Medical College of Georgia when
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Medical College of Georgia.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Medical College of Georgia had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $20,841,898.00 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $16,174,056.45 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $13,988,073.36, for a net increase of $2,185,983.09. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $23,027,881.09.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Expected dates of completion range from fiscal year 2005 to 2006.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Medical College of Georgia, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The College has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $199,183.02.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Medical College of Georgia participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Medical College of Georgia who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Medical College of Georgia makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Medical College of Georgia 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 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.

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other 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, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $233,288.00. The College's total payroll for all employees was $236,793,840.73.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. 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, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amount to 10.48% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $27,956.02, of which $24,438.52 was made by the College and $3,517.50 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Medical College of Georgia makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Medical College of Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $6,735,777.31 (10.03%) and $ 3,357,172.12 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Medical College of Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member. Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $217,707.80 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan. Early Retirement Pension Plan Plan Description Medical College of Georgia Early Retirement Pension Plan (ERP) is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by Buck Consultants. The plan was devised by MCG as a means of manpower reduction and was approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (BOR) effective January 1, 2000. The manpower reduction plan was designed to allow vested employees aged 55 or employees of any age with 25 years of creditable service to retire without penalties as applied by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) for early retirement. The plan would allow for all participants to retire as if they were vested and aged 60 or had attained 30 years of creditable service. No other benefits will be paid by this plan. A financial statement is maintained by the Medical College of Georgia, Controller's Division, and is available for review during normal business hours. Funding Policy The plan is to be funded by the purchase of an annuity utilizing salary savings of departed employees. The funding period for the annuity is 15 years. The fund sources that provided for an employees salary, as of December 31, 1999, would be responsible for funding the annuity to provide the retiree benefits. There is no additional funding cost to the employee/retiree, BOR, or the State of Georgia for this plan. Since this plan was not pre-funded, MCG is taking an aggressive approach to collect and deposit as much into the annuity fund in the earlier years as is possible, thereby realizing a greater return on investment.

The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.5% rate of return on investment, (b) annual inflation of 3.5%, and (c) annual cost of living increases of 3.0%.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Medical College of Georgia and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Medical College of Georgia, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.

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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Medical College of Georgia expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Medical College of Georgia (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 1,986 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Medical College of Georgia recognized as incurred $6,192,986.32 of expenditures, which was net of $2,387,060.91 of participant contributions.

Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources and income that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the College, the foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Middle Georgia College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Middle Georgia College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

1,109,592.47
1,158,954.93 $20,231,065.75

The total assets of the institution increased by $4,891,007.32. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $3,775,346.83 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $517,554.06. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities, primarily $274,854.48 in deposits held for other organizations and $112,744.61 in deferred revenue. The combination of the increase in total assets of $4,891,007.32 and the increase in total liabilities of $517,554.06 yields an increase in total net

assets of $4,373,453.26. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $3,776,930.83.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

$18,971,231.08

Total operating revenue increased by $1,813,679.10. The increase is mainly due to a $999,496.56 increase in auxiliary revenue and a $550,040.97 increase in grants and contracts.
Total operating expenses increased by $2,452,436.05. The increase was primarily due to an increase in supplies and other services of $2,626,811.53. The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($433,187.69). Utilities increased by approximately $192,618.08 during the past year.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($68,092.65). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Middle Georgia College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend. Also under nonoperating revenues, gift revenue increased by $515,261.88. State capital grants increased by $4,767,566.21.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Middle Georgia College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets

Construction of the wellness center was completed and placed into service during fiscal year 2004. The wellness center is a $5 million, 38,153 gross square foot building that will serve as a focus of campus and community life and provide needed space for recreation, student activities and physical education/health classes. This project was funded by the Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission (GSFIC).

For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Component Units

In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Middle Georgia College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Middle Georgia College Foundation had endowment investments of $707,343 as of June 30, 2004. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.

Economic Outlook

The College is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is stable. The College is continuing to manage the challenge of operating with reduced state appropriations. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

MIDDLE GEORGIA COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The mission of Middle Georgia College is to provide an accessible, comprehensive learning and cultural environment for its students and community.
Reporting Entity Middle Georgia College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Middle Georgia College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Middle Georgia College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Middle Georgia College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Middle Georgia College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Middle Georgia College is reporting the activity for the Middle Georgia College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Middle Georgia College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $4,767,566.21 to Middle Georgia College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Middle Georgia College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $563,566.66 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $336,501.72 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $324,152.95, for a net increase of $12,348.77. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $575,915.43.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Middle Georgia College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the College for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the College determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The College had no allowance for uncollectible loans at June 30, 2004.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Middle Georgia College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Middle Georgia College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Middle Georgia College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

100% 100% 100%

$629,787.72 $628,566.40 $646,640.01

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Middle Georgia College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Middle Georgia College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $111,132.72 (10.03%) and $55,400.45 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Middle Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $23,115.89 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Middle Georgia College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Middle Georgia College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Middle Georgia College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Middle Georgia College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 107 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Middle Georgia College recognized as incurred $343,000.67 of expenditures, which was net of $205,600.90 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Middle Georgia College Foundation, Inc. (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Middle Georgia College (college). The foundation acts primarily as a fundraising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the college in support of its programs. The foundation is supported primarily from alumni and public contributions. Although the college does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the college by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the college, the foundation is considered a component unit of the college and is discretely presented in the college's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including SB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the college's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $63,633 to the college or on the college's behalf for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 1100 Second Street., SE, Cochran, GA 31014.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

North Georgia College & State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of North Georgia College & State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

(7,904,026.19) $55,915,702.88

The total assets of the institution increased by $902,337.93. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to improve all areas of the institution to better serve our instruction, research and public service missions.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $700,918.97. The combination of the increase in total assets of $902,337.93 and the increase in total liabilities of $700,918.97 yields an increase in total net assets of $201,418.96.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Nongovernmental grants and contracts increased in the amount of approximately $376,152.32. The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $1,018,752.12. Utilities increased by approximately $198,150.80 during the past year.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($509,406.36). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for North Georgia College & State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the North Georgia College & State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

NORTH GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations North Georgia College & State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity North Georgia College & State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of North Georgia College & State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. North Georgia College & State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, North Georgia College & State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus North Georgia College & State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, North Georgia College & State University is reporting the activity for the North Georgia College & State University Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to North Georgia College & State University when complete.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. North Georgia College & State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,064,029.86 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $805,049.95 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $687,607.10, for a net increase of $117,442.85. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,181,472.71.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2004 $48,430.83 736,289.27 656,438.42
$1,441,158.52

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O ther Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

$7,535,853.69 (138,822.11) 58,100.00
(1,665,883.05) $5,789,248.53

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes North Georgia College & State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $15,514.53.

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description North Georgia College & State University 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 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

North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $116,685.10. The University's total payroll for all employees was $21,933,678.85.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amount to 7.16% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $13,944.42, of which $8,058.10 was made by the University and $5,886.32 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy North Georgia College & State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
North Georgia College & State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $626,597.88 (10.03%) and $312,363.20 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description North Georgia College & State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $56,173.94 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. North Georgia College & State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. North Georgia College & State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the
North Georgia College and State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although North Georgia College & State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against North Georgia College & State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 185 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, North Georgia College & State University recognized as incurred $1,011,980.25 of expenditures, which was net of $241,840.18 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
The North Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) was formed and incorporated under the laws of the state of Georgia in January, 1959. The purpose of the Foundation is to support North Georgia College & State University (University), its students, faculty and staff and the educational programs designed for its students, potential students and alumni. The Foundation's support comes primarily from contributions and grants from alumni, corporations, foundations and other individuals. The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the University in support of its programs. The twenty-three-member board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation made distributions of $2,462,965 to or on behalf of the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Office of Institutional Advancement at 70 Alumni Drive, Dahlonega, GA 30533.
The Foundation prepares its financial reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. With the exception of necessary presentation adjustments, no modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial report for these differences.
The Foundation manages a charitable gift annuity and currently pays 5% to the life beneficiary. Upon the death of the income beneficiary, the remaining funds will be unrestricted.
The Foundation realized an eleven percent investment return on the endowments in its business year ending June 30, 2004. An Investment Committee determines the appropriate investment mix to provide performance results needed to produce adequate funding for the University. The investment mix currently is approximately 60% Equity and 40% Bonds and Cash Equivalents.

SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Savannah State University is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The University, located in Savannah, Georgia, was founded in 1890 as a department of the State University for the education and training of Negro Students. Savannah State University now serves a diverse student population as a senior university of the University System of Georgia. The University serves a primarily African American student population, enriched by a diversity of traditional and nontraditional students from other countries, cultures, and races. The educational goal is realized through program offerings in the College of Business Administration, the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, and the College of Science and Technology, which leads to baccalaureate and master's degrees. This wide range of educational opportunities attracts a highly qualified faculty and a student body of more than 2,500 students each year. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that follows:

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Savannah State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Savannah State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

2,180,766.63 $40,166,570.14

The total assets of the institution increased by $14,020,396.33. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $14,098,157.35 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
Total liabilities for the year increased by $7,576,299.78. The primary cause for the increase was in non-current liabilities, primarily $7,500,000.00 in capital payables, which contributed to the increase in invested in capital assets, net of debt. The combination of the increase in total assets of $14,020,396.33 and the increase in total liabilities of $7,576,299.78 yields an increase in total

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

net assets of $6,444,096.55. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $6,598,157.35.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues earned by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses incurred by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Nongovernmental grants and contracts increased by $345,032.00. The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $26,942.57. The increase reflects an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution. Utilities increased by $440,004.81 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by ($1,267,168.37). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Savannah State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Savannah State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets

The University had one significant capital asset addition for facilities in fiscal year 2004. Construction of the Freshman Living and Learning Center was completed and placed into service early in fiscal year 2004. The $14,976,353 for this project was funded by the Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission (GSFIC). Other renovations funded by the GSFIC included $423,603.00 for major renovations and improvements. Projected funding by GSFIC for FY2005 will be approximately the same.

For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Economic Outlook

The University is aware of decisions or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations. Decreases in the level of State support, student tuition and fee increases, and energy and health insurance cost increases will have a significant adverse impact on the university's ability to expand programs, undertake new initiatives, and meet its core mission and ongoing operational needs. Since state allocation is the institution's largest funding source, further reductions will weaken the university's financial position.

Additionally, the need to continue to address priority needs such as requirements for deferred maintenance, new technology, public safety, and student development is a large challenge facing the university in years to come. Various committees and individuals are assessing the university's performance toward identified goals, use of energy resources and ways to achieve greater efficiencies and reduce expenses in an effort to assist in meeting those future challenges.

SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Savannah State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Savannah State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Savannah State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Savannah State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Savannah State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Savannah State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. For FY2004, Savannah State University does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 12

required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 13

local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Savannah State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $14,976,353.00 to Savannah State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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.
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Savannah State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,087,353.56 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,879,889.66 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,820,749.03, for a net increase of $59,140.63. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,146,494.19.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$959,115.76 1,390,017.66
3,273.86 (112,713.65) $2,239,693.63

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes Savannah State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.

Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Savannah State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Savannah State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Savannah State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

$1,266,238.90 $1,343,141.21 $1,404,295.15

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Savannah State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 24

accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Savannah State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,266,238.90 (10.03%) and $684,933.51 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Savannah State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $26,140 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Savannah State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 25

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Savannah State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Savannah State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Savannah State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 156 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Savannah State University recognized as incurred $578,079.38 of expenditures, which was net of $269,044 of participant contributions.

SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY is a unique, multidisciplinary institute, within the University System of Georgia, dedicated to furthering our understanding of marine and environmental sciences. Located sixteen miles southeast of the city of Savannah on the north end of Skidaway Island, the Institute offers easy access to the barrier islands, estuaries, and continental shelf of the southeastern U.S. as well as the open ocean. The Institute conducts leading edge research on marine and coastal systems, trains tomorrow's marine scientists, serves as a gateway to marine environments and integrates University System marine programs. It is committed to excellence in research and education and to the communication of our understanding of marine systems. The goal of the Institute is to create a more knowledgeable citizen capable of appreciating coastal natural environments and the conditions required to sustain them while capitalizing on coastal economic opportunities.
Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the Institute's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.
Statement of Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the Institute as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.
Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($1,424,961.20). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($1,014,249.97) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. This decrease was adjustments posted related to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 34 standards.
Total liabilities for the year decreased by ($851,364.55), the primary cause for the decrease was in deferred revenue. New policies and procedures were implemented to increase control of the timing of grant funds. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($1,424,961.20) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($851,364.55) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($573,596.65). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($933,569.85).
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

State Appropriations have steadily decreased, forcing the Institute to develop other sources of revenue. Operating Revenues increased $1,472,423.42 due largely to increased funding from sources other than State Appropriations. The Loss Before Other Revenues increase was due to losses taken on the extinguishment of assets, also related to the GASB Statement No. 34 implementation. These were one time adjustments that do have a continued impact on operations.

The Salary and Fringe Benefits category decreased by ($88,325.18). The decrease is in response to the decrease in State Appropriations, leaving several vacant positions for fiscal year 2004. Utilities increased by $28,944.42 during the past year, due in part to increased operations related to the RV Savannah and aging infrastructure issues. Supplies and Other Services increased $543,246.71. The increase was due to three primary factors, increases in insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance costs associated with an aging infrastructure and vehicle fleet, and increased purchases of supplies and materials related to research grants.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($294,903.00). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 5

related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The Institute had no significant capital asset additions for facilities in fiscal year 2004.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Economic Outlook
The Institute is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The Institute's overall financial position is strong. The Institute was able to generate a modest increase in revenue despite continued decreases in State Appropriations. The Institute anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the Institute's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Skidaway Institute of Oceanography serves the state and national communities by providing oceanographic research that advances fundamental knowledge and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Skidaway Institute of Oceanography does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Skidaway Institute of Oceanography) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. For FY2004, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the Institute was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 12

by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the Institute's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 Institute is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the Institute'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-Institute transactions have been eliminated.
The Institute has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The Institute has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The Institute has no investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the Institute's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 13

Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the Institute'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Skidaway Institute of Oceanography when complete. There is currently no construction work in progress at Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography had accrued liabilities for compensated absences in the amount of $396,170.33 as of June 30, 2003. For FY2004, $231,383.24 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $276,282.67, for a net decrease of $44,899.43. The ending balance as of June 30, 2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $351,270.90
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

Net Assets The Institute's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the Institute'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The Institute may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the Institute is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography had no Expendable Restricted Net Assets at June 30, 2004.
Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the Institute is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the Institute, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

(36,649.38) ($5,564.83)

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the Institute's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The Institute has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the Institute, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the Institute's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the Institute has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Skidaway Institute of Oceanography participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Skidaway Institute of Oceanography who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Skidaway Institute of Oceanography makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

100% 100% 100%

$222,226.60 $245,897.98 $222,499.29

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible University system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Skidaway Institute of Oceanography makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 23

year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the covered employees made the required contributions of $76,916.61 (10.03%) and $38,343.44 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Skidaway Institute of Oceanography 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
There were no employees covered by this plan, therefore no contributions were made by employees during fiscal year 2004.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 24

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Skidaway Institute of Oceanography expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2004 25

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 25 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography recognized as incurred $83,753.25 of expenditures, which was net of $34,113.84 of participant contributions.

SOUTH GEORGIA COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

South Georgia College is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The College located in Douglas, Georgia, traces its roots to 1906 when the Eleventh District Agricultural and Mechanical School was established by an Act of the Georgia General Assembly. In 1927 the institution became the first state-supported junior college in Georgia and four years later emerged as one of the original units of Georgia's system of public higher education. Today, the College offers Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree programs that prepare students for transfer in a multitude of baccalaureate program majors. The institution also offers Associate of Applied Science degrees and certificates designed to prepare individuals for careers in several areas of business, human services, and technology. Through its Associate of Science in Nursing degree program the College prepares individuals to become registered nurses and thereby meet regional health care needs. South Georgia College enthusiastically embraces new technology, innovative methods, and collaborative efforts to advance the mission of the University System of Georgia. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

South Georgia College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of South Georgia College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

38,733.33 $8,213,450.10

The total assets of the institution increased by $4,979,085.89. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $4,871,003.82 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($36,178.29). The primary causes for the decrease were the decreases in deferred revenue and deposits held in non-current liabilities. The combination of the increase in total assets of $4,979,085.89 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($36,178.29) yields an increase in total net assets of $5,015,264.18. The increase in total net

assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $4,871,003.82.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Total operating revenue increased by $159,458.56. The net decrease in tuition and fees of ($107,947.53) resulted from scholarships increasing by $171,991.87 while tuition revenue increased only $81,414.60. Operating revenues associated with the auxiliary enterprises of the College increased by $213,665.77. Sales and services of educational departments continue to decrease, this year the decrease was ($85,758.41). Continuing Education fees, which are primarily Elderhostel, were negatively affected by some of the College's Elderhostel area having been reallocated to another service area.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by ($59,470.38). The decrease reflects reductions in staff necessitated by budget reductions. There were no salary increases in the 204 budget year as directed by the Board of Regents.
Utilities increased by $68,364.04 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas and electricity costs that were experienced in fiscal year 2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by ($307,904.43). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for South Georgia College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the South Georgia College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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's overall financial position is strong. Even with sizable reductions in state appropriations, the College was able to continue operations and provide quality service. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Ed Jackson, President South Georgia College

SOUTH GEORGIA COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations South Georgia College serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity South Georgia College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of South Georgia College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. South Georgia College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, South Georgia College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus South Georgia College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, South Georgia College is reporting the activity for the South Georgia College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to South Georgia College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $4,779,155.73 to South Georgia College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. South Georgia College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $285,539.34 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $238,505.54 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $239,534.32, for a net decrease of $1,028.78. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $284,510.56.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes South Georgia College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

OPERATING LEASES
South Georgia College's non cancelable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2007. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to five years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are copiers and other small business equipment.
Non cancelable operating lease expenditures in 2004 were $85,834.09.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description South Georgia College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of South Georgia College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. South Georgia College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

Percentage Contributed

Required Contribution

2004 2003 2002

100% 100% 100%

$324,941.52 $332,260.92 $306,062.37

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible University System employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy South Georgia College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
South Georgia College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $95,948.11 (10.03%) and $47,830.84 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description South Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $7,359.90 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. South Georgia College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. South Georgia College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although South Georgia College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against South Georgia College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 77 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, South Georgia College recognized as incurred $240,774.20 of expenditures, which was net of $107,680.56 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units South Georgia College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of South Georgia College (College). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. The board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the College. Although the College does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the College by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the College, the foundation is considered a component unit of the College and is discretely presented in the College's financial statements. The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the College's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $247,711 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the office of the Vice President for Business Affairs at South Georgia College.
Investments for Component Units: South Georgia College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $1.9 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors.
Long-Term Investments for Component Units: South Georgia College Foundation had no long-term investments as of 6-30-04.

SOUTHERN POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Southern Polytechnic State University is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. Located in Marietta, Georgia, the University was founded in 1948 as a two-year division of Georgia Institute of Technology. The University became accredited as a four-year college in 1970, and was one of the first colleges in the nation to offer the bachelor of Engineering Technology degree. In the summer of 1980, Southern Polytechnic State University officially became the 14th senior college and the 33rd independent unit of the University System. The campus currently encompasses approximately 193 acres and contains 32 buildings.

Southern Polytechnic State University offers baccalaureate and masters degrees that contain a

balance of technical, professional, and liberal arts courses with an emphasis on relevant,

application-oriented teaching. The University's unique mission attracts a highly qualified faculty

and a student body that has had the third highest SAT average amongst System institutions for

several years. The University continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that

follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Southern Polytechnic State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Southern Polytechnic State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the University. They are also able to determine how much the University owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the University. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the University's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the University. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the University but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

Total assets of the University decreased by ($4,686,125.15). A review of the Statement of Net Assets reveals the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($3,763,271.89) to investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. This consumption of assets follows the University's philosophy to use available resources for the purpose of acquiring and improving all areas of the University to better serve its mission of instruction, research and public service.
Total liabilities for the year decreased by ($1,099,505.89). The primary cause for the decrease was in current liabilities; primarily a decrease in deferred revenue due to a slight variation in student payments of fall semester tuition and fees during the period immediately preceding June 30th for the two fiscal years being compared. In addition, University housing was privatized
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

during the current fiscal year and no deferred revenue for University housing was recorded for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2004. Non-current liabilities for the year decreased by ($547,658.58) due to the reclassification of compensated absences from non-current to current. This reclassification partially offset the decrease in current liabilities mentioned above. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($4,686,125.15) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($1,099,505.89) yield a decrease in total net assets of ($3,586,619.26). The primary cause for this decrease in total net assets was due to the retirement of Norton and Howell Dormitories, net of debt in the amount of ($3,763,271.89).
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present both operating and non-operating revenues received by the University, operating and non-operating expenses paid by the University, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the University. Generally speaking, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to various customers and constituencies of the University. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues and to carry out the mission of the University. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example, state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the University without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflect a decrease in the net assets at the end of the year. Some highlights of the information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets are as follows:
State appropriations continue to show annual decreases under non-operating revenue. Although the State of Georgia's economy showed positive signs of recovery during the fiscal year, rate of recovery was not as rapid as anticipated in the State's budget. The resultant shortfall in revenues subsequently led to statewide budge reductions. Southern Polytechnic State University's reduction was a proportional share of that received by the University System of Georgia.
Another significant change in non-operating revenue was the reclassification of grants and contracts from operating to non-operating. This reclassification offsets the decrease in state appropriation mentioned above.
A decrease in operating revenues is the net result of a decease due to the reclassification of grants and contracts mentioned above coupled with an increase in tuition revenues attributable to positive enrollment growth and an increase in tuition rates.

The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($421,978.43). This decrease reflects a reduction in the number of full time faculty employees with benefits. Utilities increased by approximately $26,068.27 during the past year. Higher utilities expenses reflect general rate increases for all natural gas customers during the winter periods for fiscal year 2004.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Southern Polytechnic State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the University during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the University. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects cash flows from investing activities and shows purchases, proceeds and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

SOUTHERN POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Southern Polytechnic State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction to advance fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Southern Polytechnic State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which compose the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Southern Polytechnic State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes, but is not limited to, the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Southern Polytechnic State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Southern Polytechnic State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Southern Polytechnic State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Southern Polytechnic State University is reporting the activity for the Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Southern Polytechnic State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Southern Polytechnic State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Southern Polytechnic State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $825,155.20 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $2,611,536.18 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,545,287.33, for a net increase of $66,248.85. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $891,404.05.
Non-current Liabilities Non-current liabilities include: (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

335,697.31 $2,211,769.07

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O ther Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

June 30, 2004
$237,253.58 723,910.81
(607,611.08) $353,553.31

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Southern Polytechnic State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria: Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 4. Inventories
Southern Polytechnic had no inventories at June 30, 2004.
Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. Southern Polytechnic State University had no allowance for uncollectible loans at June 30, 2004.

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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $ 80,635.15 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Southern Polytechnic State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Southern Polytechnic State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditure that is disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Southern Polytechnic State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Southern Polytechnic State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.

Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 155 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Southern Polytechnic State University recognized as incurred $687,966.95 of expenditures, which was net of $263,043.23 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc.
Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, taxexempt component unit of Southern Polytechnic State University. The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the University in support of its programs. The forty-member board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests is restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30 2004, the Foundation distributed $694,316.06 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 1100 South Marietta Pkwy., Marietta, Ga. 30060.
SPSU Student Housing I, LLC and SPSU Management, LLC
Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc established two LLC's to construct and manage student housing for use by the University. The net proceeds from student housing are for the exclusive use of the Foundation and the University.
Buildings valued at 8.7 million plus current buildings under construction and the associated long term debt of 35.7 million are included in the financial statements of the Foundation.
Investments for Component Units:
Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc. holds endowment investments in the amount of $976,385.00. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but earnings on the investments may be expended as restricted by the donors. Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc., in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 5% of the investments may be used for the purpose as restricted by the donors.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:

Student Housing Bonds were issued by the Marietta Development Authority to finance student housing on University property. The bonds, serial and term, are secured by pledges of gross receipts from student housing at Southern Polytechnic State University. Interest rates vary between 2.5% and 5.25%.

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
The Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, is one of the nation's leading research universities, providing a focused, technologically based education to nearly 17,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Georgia Tech has many nationally recognized programs and is ranked as one of the top ten public universities in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. It offers degrees through the Colleges of Architecture, Engineering, Sciences, Computing, Management, and the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts. As a leading technological institute, Georgia Tech has more than 50 interdisciplinary research centers that consistently contribute vital research and innovation to America's government, industry, and business.
Founded in 1885 to help move Georgia's economy into the industrial age, Georgia Tech exceeded the expectations of its founders by becoming a multi-faceted research Institute that serves as a source of new technologies and a driver of economic development. With a clear vision of technology and leadership, the Institute provides a cutting edge education for the 21st century.
Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
The Georgia Institute of Technology is pleased to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004, which began July 1, 2003 and ended June 30, 2004. 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. This discussion and analysis of the Institute's financial statements provides an overview of financial activities for the year. The statements focus on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Institute as a whole, with resources classified for accounting and reporting purposes into four net asset categories: invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted-nonexpendable; restricted-expendable; and unrestricted. The basis of accounting is full accrual, including capitalization and depreciation of equipment and fixed assets. Comparative data with prior fiscal year results are presented in this year's Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Statement of Net Assets
Using the accrual basis of accounting, the Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and resulting net assets of the Institute as of the end of the fiscal year. Assets, by definition, represent measured economic value obtained and controlled by an entity as a result of past transactions and events. This statement identifies the assets available for current operations, debts owed and net assets available to continue operations in the future.
The Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the Institute. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, Invested in Capital Assets Net of Related Debt, identifies the Institute's equity in property, plant and equipment. The next asset category, Restricted Net Assets, is divided into two
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the Institute but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category, Unrestricted Net Assets, is available for any lawful purpose of the Institute.
Following is a comparative, condensed version of the Institute's Statement of Net Assets as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004:

$814,026,675.04

The total assets of the Institute increased by $272 million, due primarily to the addition of the Technology Square complex, the Ford Environmental Science and Technology Building, and a new Campus Recreation Center. Further review of the Statement of Net Assets indicates that $33.8 million in unrestricted net assets and $20.3 million in restricted net assets are available for future operations.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $200.1 million. The primary cause for the increase was the incurrence of $187.2 million in lease obligations associated with the acquisition of Technology Square and the Campus Recreation Center. The combination of the increase in total assets and the increase in total liabilities yields an increase in total net assets of $71.9 million.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received, both operating and non-operating, the expenses paid, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the Institute. Generally speaking, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services, and operating expenses are those incurred to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example, state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Georgia Legislature without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflects a positive year. Total revenues (operating, non-operating, and other) for the year ended June 30, 2004 were $889.1 million, up $199.7 million from the prior year total of $689.4 million. The increase in revenue can be attributed primarily to growth in Research Grants and Contracts and Capital Grants and Gifts. Revenue generated by Research Grants and Contracts increased by $47.5 million, including $37.2 million in Federal grants. Capital Grants and Gifts increased by $94.7 million, including gifts of the Ford Environmental Science and Technology Building valued at $57 million, the Biomedical Engineering Building valued at $23 million, and the Research Administration Building valued at $5 million. Sales, Services and Other Revenue also shows a significant increase over the previous year; however, this is due mainly to the $38.5 million transfer of the State Data Research Center to the Georgia Department of Education in fiscal year 2003. This transfer was an extraordinary item reported in last year's financial statements, and it significantly reduced prior year revenue.

Included in the Technology Square complex are the Global Learning Center, the College of Management, the Georgia Tech Bookstore, the Economic Development Building, and a parking deck. The value of the Capital Asset additions in FY 2004 was over $ 305 million.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Component Units
In compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units an amendment of Statement 14, Georgia Tech is including selected financial statements and notes for all material component units for fiscal year 2004 in its audited financial statements. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia Tech has identified the following component units for presentation: Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc.; Georgia Tech Athletic Association and its subsidiary Alexander-Tharpe Fund; Georgia Tech Research Corporation and its subsidiary Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation; Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc.; and Georgia Tech Alumni Association.

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 6

Financial information for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, because it uses GASB standards, is reflected in a separate column next to the Institute on the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Financial information for all other component units, which use Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules/standards, is reflected discretely on separate pages adjacent to the information provided for the Institute and Athletic Association. Additional details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The Institute's overall financial position is strong. However, reductions in state funding continue to have a negative impact. State appropriations in fiscal year 2004 were $208.9 million, down from $219.2 million in fiscal year 2003. Further reductions of approximately $2.2 million may go into effect in January 2005 if recently announced budget cuts for the University System are approved by the Legislature. To compensate, the Institute continues to look for ways to reduce costs and generate local revenue to maintain positive momentum and leadership.
The Institute's research program continues to be a strong source of growth. Sponsored research revenue increased 14% in the current year to a total of $306 million. The success of the Institute's research program is mirrored by the success of its nationally ranked academic programs, which continue to attract outstanding students.
Management at the Institute will remain watchful in the coming year and be prepared to react to changes in the state and national economy.

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The Georgia Institute of Technology serves the state, national, and international communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, conducting research to create a better world for mankind, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia, the nation, and the world.
Reporting Entity The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of the Georgia Institute of Technology as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. The Georgia Institute of Technology does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Institute of Technology is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus the Georgia Institute of Technology) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004 (FY2004). This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the Institute's report. For FY2004, Georgia Institute of Technology is reporting activity for the following:
Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc. Georgia Tech Athletic Association and its subsidiary Alexander-Tharpe Fund Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. Georgia Tech Research Corporation and its subsidiary Georgia Tech Applied Research
Corporation Georgia Tech Alumni Association
See Note 15. Component Units, for more details.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the Institute was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the Institute's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the Institute is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the Institute'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-Institute transactions have been eliminated.
The Institute has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. Georgia Tech has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Restatement of Long Term Liabilities and Net Assets
While improving internal controls for capital asset accounting and while preparing to implement GASB Statement Number 39 (Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units), capital asset holdings of the Institute and its component units were reviewed to insure that they were correctly valued and not mutually claimed. During this review, three adjustments to Institute asset totals were identified that must be corrected by a restatement of beginning net assets, long term liabilities, and accumulated depreciation. (Note that adjustments to component unit asset totals were also identified and will be reported within the audited financial statements for these organizations for the year ended June 30, 2004.) For the Institute, the result is to decrease net capital assets by $4,236,490.49, and increase current and long-term liabilities by $20,375,000.00. Net assets decreased by $24,611,490.49 in total. Details are as follows:
Reduction to Capital Assets In preparing to implement GASB Statement Number 35 (Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities) the Institute hired an appraisal firm to develop cost and accumulated depreciation totals for buildings and infrastructure. The information provided by the firm included certain structures that, while situated on Institute land, belong to the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, a component unit. As a result of this correction, the Institute's capital assets were decreased by $16,899,909.34, and accumulated depreciation was reduced by $3,871,011.37. Net assets were reduced by $13,028.897.97.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Correction of Building Additions and Liabilities - In preparing to implement GASB Statement Number 35 (Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities) the Institute hired an appraisal firm to develop cost and accumulated depreciation totals for buildings and infrastructure. The information provided by the firm included the Bioengineering and Biosciences Building, which was added to Institute records as a gift, but it should have been recorded as an acquisition via a capital lease. A restatement has been made to the June 30, 2004 financial report to properly report the liability. As a result of this action, net assets have been reduced by $20,375,000.00 and current and long-term liabilities have been increased by the same amount.
Correction of Equipment and Capital Lease Additions - In preparing to implement GASB Statement Number 35 (Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities) the Institute implemented new accounting controls and procedures to report equipment procurements both as an expense (for budgetary reporting) and an asset (for GAAP financial reporting). The new controls and procedures, while adequate in design, were not completely implemented until the current fiscal year. After full implementation, including completion of monthly reconciliations, it was determined that a restatement of net assets and capital assets was needed. As a result of this action, net assets and capital assets have been increased by $8,792,407.48.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments between 90 days and 13 months. These would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The Institute accounts for its investments at fair market value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31 (Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools). Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Investments in the various investment pools maintained by the Institute consist in part, of U.S. Agency Securities and other mortgage-backed securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations and adjustable rate mortgages. These mortgage-backed securities are reported as U.S. Government Securities and Corporate Obligations in the note of custodial credit risk (See Note 2 on Categorization of Investments). Investments in the investment pools are transacted by an external firm under direction of an advisory agreement executed between the Institute and the management firm. As of June 30, 2004, the Institute had $267,055.83 invested in U.S. Agency Securities and other mortgage-backed securities.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty, and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also include amounts due from the federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made on sponsored research grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are recorded on the consumption method and are valued at cost on the Statement of Net Assets using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the Institute'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000.00 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 life of the asset, generally 40 to 50 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the University System. 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 so issued constitute direct and general obligations of the State of Georgia, the payment of which the full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are pledged. Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period then transfers the entire project to the Georgia Institute of Technology when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $61,300,448.09 and non-capital additions valued at $8,294,810.63 to the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Deposits Deposits consist of funds placed with the Institute to reserve housing assignments in an Institute residence hall, Institute controlled funds held for the payment of employee benefits, and other various activities at the Institute.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 21

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent fiscal year. Deferred revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.

Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. The liability and expense incurred are recorded at year-end as accrued Compensated Absences payable in the Statement of Net Assets, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Georgia Institute of Technology had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $25,481,659.00 as of July 1, 2003. In FY 2004, $16,393,829.76 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $15,697,936.53, resulting in a net increase of $695,893.23. The ending balance as of June 30, 2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $26,177,552.23.

Non-current Liabilities Non-current liabilities include: Liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; Capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year, and; Other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as non-current assets.

Net Assets The Institute's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: Invested in capital assets, net of related debt represents the Institute's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. For the Institute, debt obligations include long-term lease obligations, the current portion of long-term lease obligations, and accrued contracts (retainage) payable. Debt obligations as used in this definition do not include debt related to activities of GSFIC as discussed above.

Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The Institute may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.

Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets represent resources for which the Institute is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties. Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 22

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: Restricted expendable net assets for capital projects represent resources for which the Institute is legally or contractually obligated to spend for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used to fund the educational and general operations of the Institute, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management:

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory Other Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net Assets

June 30, 2004
$13,346,746.30 19,094,986.08 490,847.82 835,022.07
$33,767,602.27

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the Institute's policy is to first apply the expense toward unrestricted resources, and then toward restricted resources.
Income Taxes The Georgia Institute of Technology, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenue The Institute has classified its revenue as either operating or non-operating in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenue: Operating revenue includes activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenue: Nonoperating revenue includes activities that have the characteristics of nonexchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9 (Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting), and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 23

Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenue, and certain other revenue from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships make up the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the Institute, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the Institute's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the Institute has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable, primarily consisting of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program), comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the Institute for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the Institute determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The Institute has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was $61,426.98.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia Institute of Technology participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia Institute of Technology who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia Institute of Technology makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description Georgia Institute of Technology 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 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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The Institute's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $294,073.04. The Institute's total payroll for all employees was $417,971,443.79.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the Institute pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid to the employee. The Institute is also required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the Institute was 5.66% of gross salaries for
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 34

"old plan" members and 10.41% of gross salaries for "new plan" members. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $34,319.12, of which $6,358.20 was made by the Institute and $27,960.92 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 47-21-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Georgia Institute of Technology makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
The Institute and its covered employees made required contributions (including some minor adjustments) of $15,211,836.05 (10.03%) and $7,579,376.31 (5%), respectively in fiscal year 2004.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Institute of Technology 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 35

the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $786,931.88 which represents (with minor adjustments) 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Georgia Institute of Technology and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Georgia Institute of Technology, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 36

not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a SelfInsurance Fund.
Note 12. Contingencies and Commitments
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia Institute of Technology expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Institute of Technology (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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 (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
At the request of Institute management, in April 2004, Georgia Tech Facilities Inc. (Facilities), a component unit of Georgia Tech (see Note 15), adopted a Declaration of Official Intent to seek the issuance of tax-exempt obligations by the Development Authority of Fulton County for the purpose of financing the Main Campus Electrical Substation Project for the benefit of Georgia Tech. This resolution was intended to constitute a "declaration of official intent" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2. Facilities and Georgia Tech also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Under the MOU, Facilities agreed to manage the design and construction of the project as well as proceed with the financing subject to the Institute securing Board of Regents approval. If approved by the Board of Regents, the estimated minimum liability for the project would be $34 million.
On May 17, 2004, the Board of Regents (BOR) and the Institute entered into a series of agreements with Facilities, the first of which was a 30-year ground lease from the BOR to Facilities for a parcel of land on which a new Molecular Science and Engineering (MSE) Building will be located. At the end of the 30-year period, any improvements located on the ground lease will revert to the BOR/Institute. The second agreement was a lease agreement between BOR/Institute and Facilities for the new MSE Building. The lease is for 30 years with annual options to renew. The lease amount will approximate $5 million annually. Given that the intent of the Institute is to lease the MSE building for the entire 30-year period, it will be treated as a capital lease once the building is completed and occupied, which is expected to occur in calendar year 2007.
On June 24, 2003 the Board of Regents (BOR) and the Institute entered into a series of agreements with Facilities, the first of which was a 25 year ground lease from the BOR to Facilities for a parcel of land on which a new family apartment complex and parking deck will be located. At the end of the 25-year period, any improvements located on the ground lease will revert to the BOR/Institute. The second agreement, signed July 17, 2003, was a lease agreement between BOR/Institute and Facilities for the new complex and parking deck. The lease, upon occupancy, is for 25 years with annual options to renew. The annual lease amount will closely approximate the average annual debt service (principal and interest) on the structures but will not exceed $4.5 million. Given that the intent of the Institute is to lease the complex and deck for the entire 25-year period, it will be treated
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2004 37

as a capital lease once the buildings are completed and occupied, which is expected to occur in calendar year 2005.
On July 17, 2003 the Board of Regents (BOR) and the Institute entered into a series of agreements with Facilities, the first of which was a 20-year facility lease from the BOR to Facilities for the use of the new Klaus parking facility. At the end of the 20-year period, any improvements located on the lease will revert to the BOR/Institute. The second agreement was a rental agreement between BOR/Institute and Facilities for the new parking facility. The rental agreement is for 20 years upon occupancy, with annual options to renew. The lease amount will closely approximate the average annual debt service (principal and interest) on the structure but will not exceed $850,000.00. Given that the intent of the Institute is to lease the complex and deck for the entire 20-year period, it will be treated as a capital lease once the building is completed and occupied, which is expected to occur in calendar year 2006.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 20-331, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 1,078 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Georgia Institute of Technology recognized as incurred $4,841,080.28 of expenditures, which was net of $1,861,878.86 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc., (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt affiliate of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Institute). The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the Institute in support of its programs. The Foundation board of trustees is self-perpetuating and consists of forty-five (45) elected trustees, who are alumni of the Institute and five (5) ex-officio trustees. Although the Institute does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted for support of the Institute. Because the resources held by the Foundation are used by, or for the benefit of, the Institute, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the Institute and is discretely presented in the Institute's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from the Institute's GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. The Foundation's financial information is formatted in a FASB functional model within this report, and although the totals have been condensed, they equal amounts reported in the Foundation's independent audit. FASB reports will be converted to the GASB presentation for the State CAFR (comprehensive annual financial report). The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation distributed $50,536,092.41 to the Institute for restricted and unrestricted purposes.

GTRC functions as the prime contractor for most sponsored research conducted at Georgia Tech and subcontracts with the Institute for faculty and staff services. GTRC's 12-member board of trustees is self-perpetuating and consists of senior Institute administrators, alumni, and supporters of Georgia Tech. GTRC's income and resources are restricted to support research mission objectives of Georgia Tech. Because resources held by GTRC are restricted for use in support of the Institute, GTRC is considered a component unit of Georgia Tech and is discretely presented in the Institute's financial statements.
GTRC is a private nonprofit organization that reports under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from the Institute's GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. GTRC's financial information is formatted in a FASB functional model within this report, and although the totals have been condensed, they equal amounts reported in GTRC's independent audit. FASB reports will be converted to the GASB presentation for the State CAFR (comprehensive annual financial report). GTRC's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, GTRC distributed $297,210,831 to the Institute, primarily as reimbursement for research and other sponsored activities conducted on campus. The Institute distributed $3,640,724.81 to GTRC, primarily for related-party rental payments. Note 9 of this financial report provides information on related party leases.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

The University of Georgia was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 27, 1785. Georgia became the first state to charter a state-supported university.

The University of Georgia, a land-grant and sea-grant university with state-wide commitments and responsibilities, is the state's flagship institution of higher education. It is also the state's oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified institution of higher education. Its motto, "to teach, to serve, and to inquire into the nature of things," reflects the University's integral and unique role in the conservation and enhancement of the state's and nation's intellectual, cultural, and environmental heritage. As a comprehensive land-grant and sea-grant institution, the University of Georgia offers baccalaureate, master's, doctoral and professional degrees in the arts, humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, business, environmental design, family and consumer sciences, forest resources, journalism and mass communication, education, law, pharmacy, social work, and veterinary medicine.

The student population continues to grow, increasing by almost 1,600 students over a three-year period, while the number of faculty has slightly decreased.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
The University of Georgia is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year.

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of The University of Georgia. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

The total assets of the institution increased by $147,087,113.76. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $135,520,266.89 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution. The total liabilities for the year increased by $18,684,233.57. The primary cause for the increase was in non-current liabilities, primarily $37,911,197.25 in capital payables, which contributed to the increase in invested in capital assets, net of debt. The combination of the increase in total assets of $147,087,113.76 and the increase in total liabilities of $18,684,233.57 yields an increase in total net assets of $128,402,880.19. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of $87,011,101.79. Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Tuition and fees increased by $21 million from fiscal year 2003 to fiscal year 2004, a result of a 6% increase in general tuition, increased out-of-state fees, and small increases in mandatory fees applied to an increased student enrollment. Contracts and grants revenues increased from approximately $211 million in fiscal year 2003 to approximately $223 million in fiscal year 2004, continuing a trend of increased research activity at the University. Auxiliary revenues increased by $8.2 million (approximately 10%), mostly attributable to increased revenues from increased participation in Food Services meal plan options. Auxiliary Bookstore revenues decreased by $3.8 million due to the management of the University Bookstore being transferred to a private vendor during December 2003. Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($15,917,304.42). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for The University of Georgia. The University's state appropriations decreased from $413 million to $397 million, indicative of a series of budget reductions related to lagging state revenues. Fiscal year 2004 non-operating grants and contracts reflect $2.8 million increase over fiscal year 2003 due to more nonexchange sponsored activities. State capital gifts shows a significant increase, from $1.2 million in fiscal year 2003 to $72.7 million in fiscal year 2004, which $57.2 million was from GSFIC funded Student Learning Center and MRR funds for major capital projects. Finally, the Other Capital Grants and Gifts category for fiscal year 2004 reflects $41.4 million of which $37.2 million were funds expended by the University of Georgia Athletic Association on athletic facilities owned by the University.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($2,627,228.71). The decrease reflects a reduction of staff and related benefit costs due to budget constraints.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 6

Utilities decreased by approximately ($527,972.64) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with increased efficiencies in utilities and the cost savings from reducing heating and air during the holidays.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by The University of Georgia is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The University added several significant facilities in fiscal year 2004, including the Student Learning Center and the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center. The Myers Hall dormitory reopened after a $17.1 million dollar major renovation. Several projects funded by the University of Georgia Athletic Association include a major improvement/expansion to the Indoor Tennis Facility; improvements to the Soccer/Softball Complex; and expansion to the North Stands at Sanford Stadium.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.

Component Units In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, The University of Georgia has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The University of Georgia Foundation had investments of $421.8 million and long-term debt of $194 million (Bonds Payable) as of June 30, 2004. The University of Georgia Research Foundation had investments $13.6 M. The University of Georgia Athletic Association, Inc. had cash equivalents of $46.7 M and long-term debt of $84.5 million. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units. Economic Outlook The University of Georgia ended FY 2004 in the midst of a sluggish economic recovery which continues to depress state revenue growth. As a result, state appropriations for FY 2005 in support of the resident instruction, research and public service missions of the University continued to fall further below the high watermark of FY 2002 to a point approximately the same as appropriated in FY 1999. At the outset of FY 2004, the University had significant vacant faculty lines due to the need to reduce expenditures. On the positive side, because of internal redirection of funds and a modest 5% increase in tuition, authorization was given to fill 70 of those vacant faculty lines. This action will significantly contribute to the instruction mission of UGA. Furthermore, the faculty and staff continued to do an outstanding job of securing external funding for research and sponsored programs. This category of funding rose by over $33 million. However, the cumulative effect of budget cuts will continue to negatively impact University operations. Hiring for vacant positions will continue to be limited to mission critical positions and the replacement of equipment will be further postponed.

Reporting Entity The University of Georgia is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of The University of Georgia as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. The University of Georgia does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, The University of Georgia is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus The University of Georgia) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, The University of Georgia is reporting the activity for The University of Georgia Foundation, The University of Georgia Research Foundation, and The University of Georgia Athletic Association, Inc.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the average cost basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to The University of Georgia when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $42,795,488.13 to The University of Georgia.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The University of Georgia had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $36,222,747.48 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $23,591,864.62 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $25,178,243.05, for a net decrease of $1,586,378.43. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $34,636,369.05.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

1,487,000.00 24,013,740.11 $63,269,957.38

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes The University of Georgia, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies

In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.

4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus The University of Georgia), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements.
The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $676,538.26.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University of Georgia participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of The University of Georgia who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The University of Georgia makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description The University of Georgia 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 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

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $528,087.31. The University's total payroll for all employees was $504,460,553.50.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 1.5% for the employee portion and 5.66% plus 5% minus $7.00 for the employer portion. Under the new plan, member contributions consist of 1.5% for the employee portion and 10.41% for the employer portion. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees on the old plan if they meet specific requirements
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $63,171.74, of which $55,250.57 was made by the University and $7,921.17 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 47-
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

21-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy
The University of Georgia makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
The University of Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $10,545,444.34 (10.03%) and $5,256,469.62 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description The University of Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $1,343,368.89 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. The University of Georgia and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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 University of Georgia, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 33

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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although The University of Georgia expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against The University of Georgia (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 3,413 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, The University of Georgia recognized as incurred $13,486,289.49 of expenditures, which was net of $5,426,626.76 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
The University of Georgia Foundation The University of Georgia Foundation (the "Foundation") is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of The University of Georgia. The Foundation was chartered in 1937 to receive and administer contributions for the support of the academic programs of the University of Georgia (the "University"). The 55-member Board of Trustees has fiduciary responsibility for managing the Foundation's assets. The Foundation Executive Committee is composed of the chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, treasurer, the chairman from each of the other standing trustee committees and two at-large members. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements. The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foundation distributed $12,382,773 to the University for scholarships and donor-restricted support. Facilities valued at $85 million and the associated long-term debt are included in the financial statements of the Foundation. The corresponding capital leases and associated long-term debt are included in the University's report and will be eliminated for CAFR reporting. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation office at 394 South Milledge Avenue, Athens, GA 30602.

Debt Obligations
$25,620,000 Bond Issue--In 2001, the Development Authority of the Unified Government of Athens - Clarke County, Georgia (the "Development Authority") issued Revenue Bonds (UGA Real Estate Foundation, Inc. Project), Series 2001 (the "2001 Bonds") and entered into an agreement (the "2001 Loan Agreement") to loan $25,620,000 to the Real Estate Foundation. The 2001 Bonds are secured by a letter of credit issued on behalf of the Real Estate Foundation in favor of the Development Authority under the Real Estate Foundation's $73.1 million credit agreement discussed below. The Foundation has guaranteed the obligations, including the letter of credit, under the Real Estate Foundation's $73.1 million revolving credit agreement. During 2002, the Real Estate Foundation used the proceeds of this loan to fund purchases and improvements of certain properties.
Borrowings under the 2001 Loan Agreement bear interest payable monthly at a formula rate adjusted each week (1.08% and 1% at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively). The loan matures in 2031, subject to certain early repayment provisions. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, principal payments of $515,000 and $495,000, respectively, were made.
At June 30, 2004, the Real Estate Foundation had an outstanding interest rate swap agreement effectively changing the interest rate exposure on 2001 Loan Agreement from variable to a 1.75% fixed rate until February 1, 2005. The fair value of the termination cost of the interest rate swap as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $48,489 and $209,254, respectively, and was recorded as an accrued liability in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The Real Estate Foundation recorded a gain of $160,765 and a loss of $209,254 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, as an adjustment to interest expense related to this swap.
$39,155,000 Bond Issue--In 2002, the Development Authority issued Educational Facilities Revenue Bonds (UGAREF CCRC Building, LLC Project), Series 2002 (the "CCRC Bonds") and entered into an agreement (the "CCRC Loan Agreement") to loan $39,155,000 to UGAREF CCRC Building, LLC (a single-member limited liability company owned by the Real Estate Foundation) (the "CCRC Entity"). Payment of principal and interest under the CCRC Bonds is insured by a financial guaranty insurance policy and secured by certain real property constituting the facility and by the CCRC Entity's interest in certain rents and leases derived from the facility. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the CCRC Entity used the proceeds of this loan to fund construction of the facility.
Borrowings under the CCRC Loan Agreement bear interest payable semiannually on December 15 and June 15 at fixed rates ranging from 2.5% to 5% depending on the term. Principal payments are due on December 15 starting in 2004 and continuing through 2032.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OFFICE
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
The University System Office of Georgia's Board of Regents was created in 1931 as part of a reorganization of Georgia's state government. With this act, public higher education in Georgia was unified for the first time under a single governing and management authority. The governor appoints members to the Board, who each serve seven years. Today the Board of Regents is composed of 18 members, five of whom are appointed from the state-at-large, and one from each of the 13 congressional districts. The Board elects a chancellor who serves as its chief executive officer and the chief administrative officer of the University System. The Board oversees 34 institutions: four research institutions, two regional universities, 13 state universities, two state colleges, and 13 two-year colleges. In addition, one marine research facility is governed by the Board. These institutions enroll more than 247,000 students and employ more than 9,800 faculty and 27,700 employees to provide teaching and related services to students and the communities in which they are located.
Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
The University System Office is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University System Office's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.
Statement of Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University System Office as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of the University System Office. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.
Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

48,096,070.31 $71,778,172.47

The total assets of the University System Office increased by $465,342.86. The primary reason for the increase in total assets was the $1,063,762.29 added to investments. This is the amount of the University System investment pool shown on the face of the University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report. See Note 2 for further information regarding the investment pool.
The non-corpus amount of endowments was re-classified from Other Assets to Current Assets to agree with the classification used by the State of Georgia Department of Audits on the state's Consolidated Annual Financial Report, (CAFR), resulting in a change of ($4,241,706.08) between those lines.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $8,886,272.54. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities, related to the increase to the Incurred But Not Reported amount for Health Insurance claims for the University System health insurance fund. The combination of the increase in total assets of $465,342.86 and the increase in total liabilities of $8,886,272.54 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($8,420,929.68).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflects a decrease in the Net Assets at End of Year. Some highlights of the information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets are as follows:

The increase of Operating Revenue was due to an increase in health insurance premiums for the University System of Georgia employees and a refund of $4.9 million from Blue Cross Blue Shield to the health insurance reserve fund. Health Insurance premiums increased by the following percentages for Family Plans: Blue Choice 17%, Kaiser 5.44%, Indemnity 5.56%, PPO 9.4%.

University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 3

Continued budget reductions resulted in a decrease of ($16,231,221.28) in State Appropriations.
FY 2001 monies being managed at the University System Office for the funding of the Governor's Cancer Center of Excellence were re-classified from an asset in FY 03 to a liability (Agency Fund) in FY 04 resulting in a prior period adjustment on the statement of ($225,612.41). This reclassification was necessary due to the fact that the monies be appropriately classified as Agency Funds (funds held for others) and be removed from the available Net Assets of the University System Office.

Total expenses decreased by approximately ($10,500,196.00). Reductions in revenue result in less money to expend. The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a continued sluggish economy, continues to be a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and thus, for the University System Office.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the University System Office is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Component Units University System Office does not have any units that qualify as component units for the purposes of GASB 39 reporting. Economic Outlook Despite continuing reductions in state appropriations in FY 2004 resulting from the state's slow recovery from the recent economic downturn, the University System Office has implemented measures to ensure the financial integrity of current operations and has not created new programs or expanded existing ones. The FY 2005 budget added new reductions to resources, which are being addressed through downsizing of operations and expenditure restrictions. Beyond unknown factors that may affect virtually all types of business operations, the University System Office is unaware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that may be expected to have a significant effect on the office's current financial position or results of operations. The loss of net assets attributable mainly to the increase in the Incurred But Not Reported, (IBNR), amount for health insurance claims has been addressed through measures designed to ensure that adequate reserves are available to meet that liability and to protect against any unanticipated increases in medical claims costs. Constant monitoring of the resources and mission critical functions and activities continue in order to maintain the office's ability to react and respond effectively to unknown internal and external factors. _______________________ William R.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OFFFICE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, was created by the "Reorganization Act of 1931". With this act, public higher education in Georgia was unified for the first time under a single governing and management authority. The governor appoints members to the Board, who each serve seven years. Today the Board of Regents is composed of 18 members, five of whom are appointed from the state-atlarge, and one from each of the 13 congressional districts. The Chancellor is appointed by the Board of Regents as chief executive officer and serves at the pleasure of the Board. The Board oversees 34 institutions (four research institutions, two regional universities, 13 state universities, two state colleges, and 13 two-year colleges), Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and an administrative central office, (The University System Office). These institutions enroll more than 247,000 students and employ more than 9,800 faculty and 27,700 employees to provide teaching and related services to students and the communities in which they are located.
Reporting Entity The University System Office is the administrative central office for the thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia and one marine research institute which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of the University System Office as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. The University System Office does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, the University System Office is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus the University System Office) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 13

For FY2004, the University System Office does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University System Office was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University System Office's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the University System Office is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University System Office'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-system office transactions have been eliminated.
The University System Office has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University System Office has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University System Office accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues,
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 14

expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University System Office's grant and contracts, and registrations and licensing fees for the services of the Office of Informational and Instructional Technology. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories The University System Office had no inventories as of June 30, 2004.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University System Office'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University System Office when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions (8,195,317.27) to the University System Office.
Deposits The University System Office had no deposits as of June 30, 2004.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received from Valdosta State University as payment of partial July 2004 health insurance premiums.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The University System Office had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $2,216,625.91 as of 7-1-2003. For FY 2004, $1,735,509.52 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,684,920.07 for a net increase of $50,589.45. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences is $2,267,215.36.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University System Office's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University System Office'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University System Office may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University System Office is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties. Fund Balances for the University System of Georgia Health Insurance Reserves are booked as Restricted Expendable. This is in agreement with the classification used by the State of Georgia Department of Audits for these funds.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University System Office, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University System Office's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes The University System Office, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The University System Office has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

The University System Office serves as fiscal agent for various units of the University System of Georgia and cooperative organizations. The University System Office pools the monies of these organizations with the University System Office's monies for investment purposes. The University System Office cannot allocate pool investments between the internal (University System) and external (cooperative organizations) investment pool portions. The investment pool is not registered with the SEC as an investment company. The fair value of the investments is determined daily. The pool does not issue shares. Each participant is allocated a pro rata share of each investment at fair value along with a pro rata share of the interest that it earns. For fiscal

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University System Office participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of the University System Office who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The University System Office makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University System Office participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a single-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the General Assembly of

University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 26

Georgia 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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University System Office's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $401,803.13. The University System Office's total payroll for all employees was $20,152,343.52.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University System Office pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University System Office also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University System Office amount to 10.41% (5.66% under old plan) of covered payroll and
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $57,251.21, of which $51,224.08 was made by the University System Office and $6,027.13 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy The University System Office makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
The University System Office and the covered employees made the required contributions of $236,450.75 (10.03%) and $117,871.33 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description The University System Office 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.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

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 of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $9,679.93, which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. The University System Office and participating employees and retirees pay premiums for either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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 University System Office, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the University System Office expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against the University System Office (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 62 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the University System Office recognized as incurred $238,022.33 of expenditures, which was net of $110,018.21 of participant contributions.

VALDOSTA STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Valdosta State University is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The University, located in Valdosta, Georgia, was founded in 1906 and is one of only two regional universities within the University system. The University offers nationally accredited programs in Art, Business, Music, Nursing, Sports Medicine, Speech and Language Pathology, School Psychology and Teacher Education. Valdosta State University offers baccalaureate and masters degrees in a wide variety of subjects. This wide range of educational opportunities attracts a highly qualified faculty and a student body of approximately 10,000 students each year. The institution suffered enrollment losses after implementing the System Initiative to move Remedial Instruction to the System's 2-year colleges. However, the University feels that this trend has reversed as shown by the comparison numbers that follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Valdosta State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Valdosta State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

3,937,886.65 $95,054,682.30

The total assets of the institution increased by $12,143,538.22. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $10,977,425.99 of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $635,796.24. The primary cause for the increase was in contract payables. The combination of the increase in total assets of $12,143,538.22 and the increase in total liabilities of $635,796.24 yields an increase in total net assets of $11,507,741.98. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt, in the amount of $10,980,543.85.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Tuition revenues accounted for the largest increase in revenues for the year of $3,355,687.26. This was the result of an increase in enrollment as well as a tuition increase of approximately 10%. Auxiliary Revenues experienced a moderate increase of $1,094,809.82 during the year which is also attributable to rising enrollment. However, Athletics did have a small increase in its fees per student which impacted the increase as well. Finally, Grants and Contracts Revenue also increased $565,304.63, which is largely attributable to the acquisition of the Transition to Teaching grant that is a multi-year grant totaling $1,000,000.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($486,090.65). The decrease reflects the attrition concept implemented across the campus in response to state funding reductions.
Utilities increased by approximately $12,255.97 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2004.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($3,250,712.09). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Valdosta State University. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Valdosta State University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Capital Assets
The University had two significant capital asset additions for facilities in fiscal year 2004. The Odum Library Addition, which was funded by Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission (GSFIC) at $12,652,804.62 was completed and placed into service during FY 2004. Further, the University accepted a gift of land from the VSU Foundation valued at $617,500.00 which is intended for future residence halls.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Valdosta State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2004. The Valdosta State University Foundation had Net Assets totaling $18,172,758 as of December 31, 2003, including

$12,861,450 in Investment assets and $3,984,536 in Long Term debt. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units. Economic Outlook The University is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University's overall financial position is strong. Even with continuing State funding reductions, the University was able to avoid a large decrease in Net Assets. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and maintains a close watch over resources to preserve the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Dr. Ronald M.

VALDOSTA STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Valdosta State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity Valdosta State University is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Valdosta State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Valdosta State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Valdosta State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Valdosta State University) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, Valdosta State University is reporting the activity for the Valdosta State University Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for Valdosta State University Foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at cost on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Non-current Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as non-current assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Valdosta State University when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $12,659,288.07 to Valdosta State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Valdosta State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $2,553,382.15 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,896,527.62 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,940,570.47, for a net decrease of $44,042.85. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,509,339.30.
Non-current Liabilities Non-current liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$3,332,536.07

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

488,357.20 5,350,100.11 $5,684,506.09

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes Valdosta State University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Non-operating revenues: Non-operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as non-operating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies
Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus Valdosta State University) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-1759:
1. Bonds, bill, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.
3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.
4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia.
5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As authorized in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-53, the State Depository Board has adopted policies that allow agencies of the State of Georgia (and thus Valdosta State University), the option of exempting demand deposits from the collateral requirements.
The Treasurer of the Board of Regents is responsible for all details relative to furnishing the required depository protection for all units of the University System of Georgia.

Institutional loans comprise $106,873.87 of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004. Each loan funds' characteristics are determined by the terms of the donor agreement. The University has not provided an allowance for uncollectible institutional loans in the financial statements, but writes off such loans if all collection efforts have been exhausted and the loan is under $3,000.
The Federal Perkins Loan Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has not provided an allowance for uncollectible Perkins loans in the financial statements and is in the process of closing out all Perkins Loan Programs.

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

With the exception of the equipment lease of $5,700.03 and associated debt of $2,681.46, all other capital leases and associated debt at June 30, 2004, relates to leases with the VSU Foundation. Additional information provided in Footnote 8. The University at its option may terminate the leases. OPERATING LEASES Valdosta State University's non-cancelable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2005 through 2010. Other operating leases provide for annual renewal options for a period not to exceed nine years. All agreements are cancelable if the State of Georgia does not provide adequate funding, but that is considered a remote possibility. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Operating leases are generally payable on a monthly basis. Examples of property under operating leases are Buildings that do not meet capitalization requirements, copiers, and other small business equipment. Operating lease expenditures in 2004 were $594,000.00.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Valdosta State University participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Valdosta State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Valdosta State University makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Valdosta State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Valdosta State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,611,626.43 (10.03%) and $803,460.21 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Valdosta State University 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $83,506.20 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Valdosta State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Valdosta State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Valdosta State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Valdosta State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 325 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Valdosta State University recognized as incurred $1,275,079.38 of expenditures, which was net of $428,077.30 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Valdosta State University Foundation (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Valdosta State University (University). The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the university in support of its programs. The 25-member board of the Foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
The Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the Foundation's financial information in the University's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The Foundation's fiscal year is January 1 through December 31.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Foundation distributed $1,506,097 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 102 Georgia Avenue, Valdosta, GA 31602.
Investments for Component Units:
Valdosta State University Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $12,861,450. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by donors. Valdosta State University Foundation, in conjunction with donors, has established a spending plan whereby 4.5% of the previous year's December 31 portfolio value may be expended.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:
Valdosta State University Foundation issued Bonds to finance the acquisition of facilities for Valdosta State University. The bonds mature serially and are collateralized by real estate. The interest rates for the 95 and 98 bonds are 4.8% and 5.0% respectively.
The Foundation also incurred a Note Payable to a local financial institution to assist with updating University Athletic facilities. For consolidated reporting purposes, the following details must be considered. The Foundation has reported this transaction as a receivable from the University and as a long-term liability of $268,892.41. Since the University retains ownership of the facility, the University has recorded a capital asset and long-term liability. The Foundation entry should be eliminated for consolidated reporting.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Waycross College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the College's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Waycross College. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major

Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

417,335.78 $9,985,534.28

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($261,978.91). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($346,826.05) of investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($70,689.42). The primary cause for the decrease was in current liabilities, primarily ($41,225.41) in deferred revenue and ($15,375.78) in compensated absences. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($261,978.91) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($70,689.42) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($191,289.49). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt in the amount of ($346,826.05).

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are non-operating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Total operating revenue increases of $ 229,007.35 are primarily due to a $193,222.03 increase in student tuition and fees; a $62,942.43 increase in grants and contracts; and a $57,544.04 increase in auxiliary enterprise revenue.
Total operating expense decreased by ($342,418.60). Salaries and benefits cost decreased by ($179,420.12), scholarships decreased by ($70,260.48), utilities by ($4,103.34), supplies and other services by ($72,392.85), and depreciation by ($27,110.51). Travel cost increased by $10,284.70. These decreases are due primarily to budget reductions.
The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by approximately ($179,420.12). The decrease reflects reductions in staff and associated benefits as well as a credit received from the University System Insurance Reserve. . Utilities decreased by approximately ($4,103.34) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with conservation measures.
Under non-operating revenues (expenses) state appropriations decreased by approximately ($153,204.93). The reduction of state appropriations system-wide, due to a sluggish economy, has created a challenge for all institutions of the University System of Georgia and, thus, for Waycross College. We are hopeful that the economy is now on an upward trend.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Waycross College is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth 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 is not aware of any currently known facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations during this fiscal year beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The College's overall financial position is strong. Through a combination of increases in operating revenue, reductions in operating expenses that included reductions in full time staff positions, the College was able to manage another year of reductions in state funding. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much like last and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. _______________________ Barbara P.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Waycross College serves the southeastern region of Georgia by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Southeast Georgia.
Reporting Entity Waycross College is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Waycross College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Waycross College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Waycross College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus Waycross College) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2004, Waycross College is reporting the activity for the Waycross College Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 15

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the College's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 College is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the 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.
The College has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The College accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the College's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the 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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Waycross College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Waycross College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students. Waycross College does not require student deposits.
Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and continuing education fees prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Deferred
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Waycross College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $204,190.10 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $150,833.93 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $170,307.91, for a net decrease of $19,473.98. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $184,716.12.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the 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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The College may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Inventory O ther Unrestricted Total Unrestricted Net A ssets

$190,773.84 145,835.87 11,253.30 216,880.86
$564,743.87

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
Income Taxes Waycross College, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Classification of Revenues The College has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the College's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the College has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Waycross College participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Waycross College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Waycross College makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

100% 100% 100%

$212,282.36 $184,714.97 $180,268.71

Regents Retirement Plan

Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

Funding Policy Waycross College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the

Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 27

employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Waycross College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $ 101,019.02 (10.03%) and $ 50,358.69 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Waycross 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $ 3,182.44 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Waycross College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both self-insured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 28

Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. Waycross College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Waycross College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Waycross College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2004 29

policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2004, there were 15 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, Waycross College recognized as incurred $ 67,096.72 of expenditures, which was net of $29,414.15 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Component Unit Notes
Waycross College Foundation (foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Waycross College (college). The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the college in support of its programs. The twenty four-member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and consists of graduates and friends of the college. Although the college does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the college by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the college, the foundation is considered a component unit of the college and is discretely presented in the college's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the college's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the foundation distributed $ 74,059.00 to the college for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 2001 South Georgia Parkway, Waycross, GA 31502.
Investments for Component Units:
Waycross College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $1.1 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Waycross College Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby an amount equivalent to 5% of the endowed corpus may be paid from cash earnings for academic scholarships. All gains from investments are set aside as a reserve.
Long Term Liabilities for Component Units:
There are no long-term liabilities.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

State University of West Georgia is one of the 34 institutions of the University System of Georgia. The State University of West Georgia, a charter member of the University System of Georgia, is a selectively focused, public comprehensive institution providing undergraduate and graduate education in arts and sciences, business and education. The University located in Carrollton, Georgia, was founded in 1906 and remains second to none in relation to our theme of Educational Excellence in a Personal Environment. In the fall of 2003, we had the highest headcount, highest credit hour generation and the highest SAT scores in the history of the University.

West Georgia offers a range of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and professional programs at the baccalaureate level. The State University of West Georgia offers 113 programs of study, including 60 at the Bachelor's level, 52 at the Masters and Specialist level, and one Doctoral program. During fall semester, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) reaffirmed State University of West Georgia's accreditation for another 10 years, based on an accreditation visit in February 2003. In addition, the University has achieved national recognition in several areas including, academic debate, faculty-directed student research and athletic competition. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison that follows:

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

State University of West Georgia is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2004. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. 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. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for FY 2003 and FY 2004.

Statement of Net Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of State University of West Georgia. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-

State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 1

of-year data concerning Assets (current and non-current), Liabilities (current and non-current), and Net Assets (Assets minus Liabilities). The difference between current and non-current assets will be discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,349,450.35. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to a reclassification of grant deferred revenues, which was not totally deferred in the prior year. This resulted in a net variance of $900,000.00. There was also an increase of $392,146.27 due to investment in plant, net of accumulated depreciation. The consumption of assets follows the institutional philosophy to use available resources to acquire and improve all areas of the institution to better serve the instruction, research and public service missions of the institution.
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 2

The total liabilities for the year increased by $1,627,454.17. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities, primarily $872,692.68 in accounts payable activity due to higher volume of year end commitments and $616,461.15 increase in advance tuition and fee payments for summer semester. (This appears as a contingent liability in deferred revenue.) The ($109,397.89) decrease in non-current is due to a reduction in the compensated absence liability. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,349,450.35 and the increase in total liabilities of $1,627,454.17 causes a decrease in total net assets of ($278,003.82). The decrease is due primarily to the overall increase in current liabilities versus current assets and can be summarized by the increase in deferred revenue.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement of Net Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present revenues received by the institution (both operating and nonoperating), the expenses paid by the institution, (operating and non-operating), and any other gains or losses that might impact the financial statements. Generally speaking operating revenues are the receipts for the goods and services provided by us, to our clients. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided and to carry out the mission of the institution. Non-operating revenues are revenues, received that are not directly tied to an operating expense. An example is state appropriations, which are non-operating because they are provided by the Georgia Legislature without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services,

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets reflect an overall decrease in the net assets at the end of the year, after the prior year adjustment. Some highlights of the

State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 3

information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets, which can be better understood with reference to the statement of Revenues by Source are as follows:
An overall increase in the operating revenues of $6.9 million, the impact of a 10% ($1.6 million) tuition increase granted by the Regents of the University System of Georgia, plus an increase in fall and spring head count and credit hours. We served 10,255 students in the fall, up from 9,674 in fall 2002, resulting in an additional $1.4 million in tuition revenue. The Federal Grants and Contracts increased $3.0 million, due entirely to an increase in Federal Direct Loans (part of the financial aid program), resulting from the larger numbers of students. The loan dollar value increased from $17.3 million to $20.5 million.
Auxiliary revenues also increased by $1.4 million, the result of the additional students having an impact on bookstore sales, and food service revenues. During the summer of 2003, the food service facilities were completely renovated which had a significant impact on the food service program, and thus contributed to the increased revenue.
Non operating revenues increased overall by $500,000 a result of a $1.7 million reduction in state operating funds during the fiscal year, offset by a gain in the net assets of $2.5 million due to prior year adjustments in the capital assets. (This is a further tweaking of our asset values, resulting from the conversion to GASB 39, and the asset revaluation in FY 2002). Investment income was down by $100,000, because of the continued weak economy.
Capital gifts of $3.3 million were booked with the construction completion of the new Adamson Hall. This building is a reproduction of the earlier Adamson, which was one of the original campus buildings constructed in 1917. It was torn down two years ago. The new building looks like the original and will be used as offices and classrooms for the Richards College of Business and the Department of Continuing Education.
Under non-operating revenues, state appropriations decreased by approximately ($1,677,588.95), caused by a 5.5% budget cut at the state level. The budget cuts continue to pose challenges for all institutions within the University System of Georgia.

2,027.83 $109,313,288.56

2,866.53 $99,981,341.65

Total expenditures increased by $9.3 million, with expenditure highlights as follows: An increase instructional expense of $1.0 million reflecting the increased cost of educating the additional students. An increase in academic support expense of $1.5 million reflecting increased support costs for the additional students in the areas of library collections, $552,000, and other library and instructional technology costs. Other areas of institutional support, student service support, reflect the costs of the additional students. Scholarships and fellowships, increased by $3.3 million reflecting the increased student financial aid. Auxiliary enterprises expenditures increased by $2.4 million reflecting the cost of generating revenue.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by approximately $1,263,149.57. The increase reflects a 10% increase in all health benefits and an increase in the number of faculty and staff employees. Per legislative directive and BOR budgeting practice, the University did not grant any salary increases in the 2004 fiscal year. This reflects the continued poor economic conditions in the state.
Utilities increased by $354,523.59 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with a combination of increased usage because of our record headcount, (more classes), a colder than normal winter, and overall rising utility costs. Also, during FY 2003, we had a credit of $200,000 a rebate against our utility costs, which understated the true cost in FY 2003.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the State University of West Georgia is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from non-capital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for non-operating, non-investing, and non-capital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15, Component Units.

State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 7

Economic Outlook
The University continues to enjoy significant growth in student headcount. Our numbers increased by 580 students, the second year in a row with an increase in the 6-7% range, and the fourth record setting year in a row.
Facilities projects designed to enhance campus life include the completion of our privatized University Suites housing facility (612 beds in partnership with the State University of West Georgia Foundation), a second phase of housing (602 beds) which will start construction this fall and is scheduled for completion in fall 2005, a new privatized campus center, and the Health Wellness and Lifelong Learning Center, which we expect will start construction in the summer of 2005. All of these projects are expected to increase the number of on campus residents and further our efforts toward positive growth and retention.
Overall, the growth comes at a time when we continue to have budget cuts. The cumulative effect, on operating funds in the last three years is about 16.3%, or a total of $5.2 million. This does not include the $748,000 we lost in MRR (maintenance, repair and rehabilitation) funds in 2003. Because of the budget cuts we are having a difficult time maintaining services at our usual high levels of customer support. We continue to make our case for additional funding and in FY 2005, the USG revised their budget allocation system to adjust allocations for some of the underfunded schools, State University of West Georgia, being one of them. The additional funds are welcome and we are very grateful, but we still have a long way to go to achieve even modest parity within our sector. With the additional funds, we should be able to make improvements in the under-funded areas unless there are further budget cuts.
The overall market position of the university is strong, and although we have some challenges on the financial resource side, we have a strong administrative team, that pulls together even as our resources per student continue to decline. We continue to manage this institution efficiently. As we move into FY 2005 we expect strong continued growth in undergraduate enrollment, a tight budget because of the weak economy, the continued need to manage our resources very efficiently, and the maintaining of our conservative approach to budget forecasting and management.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations State University of West Georgia serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances their fundamental knowledge, and prepares them for future careers by offering degrees at the bachelors, masters and doctoral level.
Reporting Entity State University of West Georgia is one of thirty-four (34) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of State University of West Georgia as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. State University of West Georgia does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, State University of West Georgia is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and thus State University of West Georgia) is required to implement GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, for fiscal year 2004. This statement requires the inclusion of the financial statements for foundations and affiliated organizations that qualify as component units in the Annual Financial Report for the institution. These statements (Balance Sheet and Statement of Activities) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2004, State University of West Georgia is reporting the activity for the State University of West Georgia Foundation and the UWG Real Estate Foundation.
See Note 15. Component Units, for foundation notes.
Financial Statement Presentation In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia was required to implement
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 16

GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As a component unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38 provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund-group perspective previously required.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-university transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 17

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the University's grant and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are recorded on the consumption method and are valued at cost using the weighted average method. Resale inventories are valued at cost using the first-in first-out ("FIFO") method.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University'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. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. 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 of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the System. 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 so issued constitute 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.
Effective July 1, 2001, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to State University of West Georgia when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2004, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $3,246,839.36 to State University of West Georgia.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 18

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary 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 at year-end for financial statement purposes. 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 Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. State University of West Georgia had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $2,098,643.65 as of 7-1-2003. For FY2004, $1,584,659.90 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,635,368.99, for a net decrease of $50,709.09. The ending balance as of 6-30-2004 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,047,934.56.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Assets The University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the University'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.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may either be expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 19

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$2,060,580.45

Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: This represents resources for which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus). Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially selfsupporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items which are quasi-restricted by management.

$7,032,396.95

When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the University's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.

Income Taxes State University of West Georgia, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:

State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 20

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts and Federal appropriations, and (4) interest on institutional student loans. Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Sponsored and Unsponsored Scholarships Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Sponsored and unsponsored scholarships are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for sponsored and unsponsored scholarships.

Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Deposits, and Investments
State of Georgia Collateralization Statutes and Policies

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2004 the allowance for uncollectible loans was zero.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description State University of West Georgia participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly. TRS provides retirement allowances and other benefits for plan participants. TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of State University of West Georgia who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. State University of West Georgia makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution rate was 9.24% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description State University of West Georgia 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 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

State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 30

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 of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years 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 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.
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 of ERS. The purpose of SRBP 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 of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2004, for employees covered by ERS was $46,000. The University's total payroll for all employees was $45,120,966.51.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.41% of annual compensation. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amount to 5.66% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $5,523.60, of which $2,603.60 was made by the University and $2,920.00 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2004, financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 31

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy State University of West Georgia makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State Statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2004, the employer contribution was 10.03% of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
State University of West Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,712,668.53 (10.03%) and $853,774.27 (5%), respectively.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description State University of West Georgia 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 of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 32

Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2004 amounted to $68,702.76 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Note 11. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. State University of West Georgia and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making 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. State University of West Georgia, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the
State University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2004 33

performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
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 expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although State University of West Georgia expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against State University of West Georgia (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), 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, 2004.
Note 13. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
As of June 30, 2004, there were 380 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2004, State University of West Georgia recognized as incurred $1,333,553.76 of expenditures, which was net of $521,799.03 of participant contributions.

Note 15. Component Units
Component Unit Notes-State University of West Georgia Foundation (Development)
State University of West Georgia Foundation is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of State University of West Georgia. The foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement resources available to the university for support of its programs. The foundation board consists of approximately 40 members and is made up of alumni and friends of the university. Although the university does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the foundation, the majority of resources or income that the foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the university by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university, the foundation is considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that reports under FASB standards, including FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-for-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. No modifications have been made to the foundation's financial information in the university's financial reporting entity for these differences. However, the FASB reports will be reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes. The foundation's fiscal year is January 1 through December 31, 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the foundation distributed $1,314,937 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Offices at 1601 Maple St, Carrollton, GA 30118.
Component Unit Notes-UWG Real Estate Foundation
During the spring of 2004, the UWG Real Estate Foundation (foundation) was formed. By resolution of the Internal Revenue Service, (IRS), it is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of the State University of West Georgia (university). (The IRS ruling was issued August 23, 2004). The foundation was formed to construct auxiliary buildings and facilities for use by the university and then lease the completed buildings to the institution. The nine-member board of the foundation is self-perpetuating and is controlled by friends of the university. The foundation does not have any receipts or assets as of June 30, 2004. The first facility project will be a campus center, with construction expected to start in January, 2005, and be completed for use in mid 2006. The majority of resources or income thereon that the foundation is expected to generate will be restricted to the real estate activities of the university. Because these restricted resources held by the foundation will only be used by, or for the benefit of, the university, the foundation would be considered a component unit of the university and is discretely presented in the university's financial statements.
The foundation is a private nonprofit organization that will report under FASB standards.

Investments for Component Units: State University of West Georgia Foundation (Development)

State University of West Georgia Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $11,314,911. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. State University of West Georgia Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby up to 5% of the corpus balance earnings may be used for academic scholarships and 1% to 3% may be used for an administrative fee. The remaining balance of the earnings are set aside as a reserve.

The State University of West Georgia Housing Foundation, LLC was formed in July, 2003 to construct additional housing for the University. The Foundation is the sole member of this LLC. At December 31, 2003 the project was in progress with a targeted completion date of fall 2004.

Long Term Liabilities for Component Units: State University of West Georgia Foundation (Development)

Student Housing Bonds were issued by the State University of West Georgia Foundation to finance student housing on university property in the amount of $13,205,000. The bonds, serial and term, are secured by pledges of gross receipts from student housing at State University of West Georgia. The Foundation is financing the student housing project by issuing variable rate bonds. The rate is the Weekly Swap Index published by the Bond Market Association, adjusted weekly, with a cap of 12.0%. The current rate is 1.15%. I understand that the historical average rate over the last ten years has been 3.5%.
The fixed bond rate for our project would be approximately 6.5%.
The Foundation chose the variable rate bonds in order to take advantage of the low rates available at this time. In addition, the Foundation has the option of doing an "interest rate swap" if the rates increase by swapping all or a part of the debt for fixed rate bonds at a later time. Therefore, the Foundation has the flexibility to switch to a fixed rate.
