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 35 institutions in the University System were led by Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr. and the Board of Regents at June 30, 2007. 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 2007. These consolidated statements contain information from the 35 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 compact disc. 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 fiscal 2007 and 2006.
Statement of Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University System of Georgia 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

Annual Financial Report FY2007 6

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 University System. They are also able to determine how much the University System 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 System. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the University System of Georgia's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by its institutions. 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 institutions within the University System, 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 institutions within the University System for any lawful purpose of the respective institution.

$4,376,286,986

The total assets of the University System of Georgia increased by approximately $703 million. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $562 million of Capital Assets, net of accumulated depreciation and an increase of $119 million in Cash and Investments.
The total liabilities for the year increased by approximately $425 million. The primary components of this increase were increases of $365 million in lease purchase obligations and $35

Annual Financial Report FY2007 7

million in accounts payable. The combination of the increase in total assets of $703 million and the increase in total liabilities of $425 million yielded a net increase in total net assets of $278 million, or 6.4%. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of related debt in the amount of $192 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 by the University System of Georgia, both operating and non-operating, and the expenses paid by the University System, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the University System. Generally speaking, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institutions. 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 missions of the institutions. 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 System without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

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 noncapital 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.

Georgia Perimeter College: The College had one significant capital asset addition of $11 million for facilities in fiscal year 2007. Construction of the College Center on the Clarkston campus was completed and placed into service early in calendar year 2007.
University System Office: The System Office had significant capital additions of over $11 million during fiscal 2007. Over $7 million of this total were Equipment additions financed through capital leases. The balance of $4 million represents land and equipment transferred to the University System Office through an intergovernmental agreement with The Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission.
Long-Term Debt and Liabilities
The University System of Georgia had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $1.4 billion, excluding related party liabilities and deferred revenue, of which $123 million was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt, see notes 1, 8 and 10 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, the University System of Georgia has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for fiscal 2007. System-wide, there were 57 component units at 32 of the colleges and universities. All 57 component units are discretely presented in this consolidated Annual Financial Report. Fourteen of the component
Annual Financial Report FY2007 12

units were deemed significant for reporting purposes to the State of Georgia and are also reported in the State Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal 2007. The 57 component units had combined total assets of $6.5 billion and total liabilities of $3.2 billion at June 30, 2007. The assets included $3.0 billion in investments and $1.5 billion in capital assets. The liabilities included $2.7 billion in long-term liabilities. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, Component Units. Economic Outlook The University System of Georgia has had significant increases in state appropriations during the last two years, owing to enrollment growth and the recent creation of Georgia Gwinnett College as the 35th institution in the system. Fiscal year 2008 state appropriations for current University System of Georgia operations, including institutions and other organized activities, are $2.1 billion, an increase of 10.5% over fiscal year 2007 state appropriations. Additionally, the University System of Georgia received $271 million in general obligation bond funding for capital facilities. The recent growth in enrollment has strengthened tuition revenues as well. As a result of continuing strong state support, the University System of Georgia has had to rely less than most higher education systems on non-state revenue sources. Total funds generated for the University System of Georgia, including all fund sources, now exceed $5.3 billion annually. With a solid base of state funding support, and the recent growth in appropriations and non-state revenues, the University System of Georgia remains financially strong. Enrollment in the system continues to grow at rates higher than originally expected for the time period, with a higher than anticipated increase in FTE student enrollment. There do not appear to be any conditions or economic factors on the horizon that would affect the University System of Georgia's operations or its financial position.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia, the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the University System Office. 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 35 institutions, the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the University System Office 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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) are discretely presented for the 57 component units of the University System of Georgia.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, the University System was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and
Annual Financial Report FY2007 55

No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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) 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Annual Financial Report FY2007 56

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 grants 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 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 on projects managed by them and transfers the entire project to the University System of Georgia when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $146,541,945 to the University System of Georgia. This includes projects completed during fiscal 2007 and additional expenditures for projects completed in prior years. This resulted in a cumulative total of $2,436,285,970 as of June 30, 2007.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University System residence hall.
Annual Financial Report FY2007 57

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 compensated absences in the Statement of Net Assets, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The University System of Georgia had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $146,088,649 as of 7-1-2006. For fiscal 2007, $109,107,438 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $96,501,301 for a net increase of $12,606,137. The ending balance as of June 30, 2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $158,694,786.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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 FY2007 58

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007

Restricted - E&G and Other Organized Activities Federal Loans Institutional Loans Term Endowments Quasi-Endowments
Total Restricted Expendable

$122,641,129 44,726,427 21,123,266 5,640,601 21,292,162
$215,423,585

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 include 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, 2007
$77,870,242 202,356,721
3,364,638 25,440,843 $309,032,444

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.
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:

Annual Financial Report FY2007 59

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 non-operating 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 scholarship allowances.
Auxiliary Enterprise revenue reported in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets is reported net of $2,684,849 allowances.
Special Item Transfers
There was one Special Item transfer in fiscal 2007 in the amount of $48,295 at Bainbridge College.
Bainbridge College absorbed the Early County Site of the Albany Technical College during the fiscal year and as a result, the Equipment assets for the Early County Campus were transferred to Bainbridge College as of July 1, 2006. The Equipment capital assets transferred had a value of $234,440, with an accumulated depreciation balance of $186,145 as of July 1, 2006. The net transfer to Bainbridge College was $48,295. This amount is reported as a Special Item on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets and the Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 6 Capital Assets for additional information.

Fort Valley State University had a restatement of prior year net assets increasing beginning net assets by $2,484,508. This was due to removing capital assets that were disposed in prior years as well as adjusting the useful lives of certain buildings to reflect the University's accounting policy.
Georgia Highlands College had a restatement of prior year net assets increasing beginning net assets by $2,500,000. This was due to the donation of land for the Cartersville campus that was not reported in the prior year.

Annual Financial Report FY2007 61

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University System's deposits may not be recovered. 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying values of deposits were $370,780,125 and the bank balances were $420,320,782. Of the University System's deposits, $416,432,835 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $99,848,220 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent in the University System's name, $237,315,732 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the University System's name and $79,268,883 were uncollateralized.
B. Investments The University System maintains investment policy guidelines that are intended to foster sound and prudent judgment in the management of assets to ensure safety of capital consistent with the fiduciary responsibility each institution has to the citizens of Georgia and which conforms to the Board of Regents investment policy. All investments must be consistent with donor intent, Board of Regents policy, and applicable federal and state laws.

Investment Pools

The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days at June 30, 2007.

The Georgia Extended Asset Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated daily to determine current share price, which was $1.99 at June 30, 2007. The Georgia Extended Asset Pool is an AAA rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The effective duration of the fund for the month of June, 2007 was .91 years.

Annual Financial Report FY2007 63

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.
The University System maintains investment policy guidelines for each pooled investment fund that is offered to qualified University System participants. These policies are intended to foster sound and prudent judgment in the management of assets to ensure safety of capital consistent with the fiduciary responsibility each institution has to the citizens of Georgia and which conforms with the Board of Regents investment policy. All investments must be consistent with donor intent, Board of Regents policy, and applicable federal and state laws.
Units of the University System of Georgia and their affiliated organizations may participate in the Pooled Investment Fund program. The overall character of the pooled fund portfolio should be one of above average quality, possessing at most, an average degree of investment risk.
The Regents' Investment Pool funds are described below. Investment fund balances within the University System (the Primary Government) have been eliminated in this report, with the underlying investment instruments of the pools reported instead.
Short Term Fund The Short Term fund provides a current return and stability of principal while affording a means of overnight liquidity for projected cash needs. The investment maturities of the fund will range between daily and two years.
Legal Fund The Legal fund provides an opportunity for greater income and modest principal growth to the extent possible with the securities allowed under Georgia Code 50-17-59 and 50-17-63. The average maturity of this fund will typically range between five and 10 years, with a maximum of thirty years for any individual investment. The overall character of the portfolio should be one of treasury and agency quality, possessing virtually no degree of financial risk.
Balanced Income Fund The Balanced Income fund is designed to be a vehicle to invest funds that are not subject to the state regulations concerning investing in equities. This fund is comprised of fixed income, equity and cash equivalent instruments.
The equity allocation range shall be between 30% and 40%, with a target of 35% of the total portfolio. The fixed income (bond) portion of the portfolio shall be between 60% and 70%, with a target of 65% of the total portfolio. Reserves for contingencies and stock and bond purchases are expected to comprise the balance of the fund. Reserves and excess income should be invested at all times in practical amounts. Reserves can be invested in high quality institutional money market mutual funds or other high quality, short term instruments.
Annual Financial Report FY2007 64

Total Return Fund The Total Return fund is another pool designed to be a vehicle to invest funds that are not subject to state regulations concerning investing in equities. This pool offers the greatest percentage of overall equity exposure, with well over half of the funds typically invested in equities.
The equity allocation range shall be between 60% and 70%, with a target of 65% of the total portfolio. The fixed income (bond) portion of the portfolio shall be between 30% and 40%, with a target of 35% of the total portfolio. Reserves for contingencies and stock and bond purchases are expected to comprise the balance of the fund. Reserves and excess income should be invested at all times in practical amounts. Reserves can be invested in high quality institutional money market mutual funds or other high quality, short term instruments.
Diversified Fund The Diversified fund is designed to gain further diversification and increase exposures to assets that have lower correlation to equity and bond markets by utilizing alternative asset classes. In addition, this fund is constructed to build an optimal portfolio where return is increased and risk is reduced.
The equity allocation range shall be between 50% and 75% of the portfolio. The fixed income (bond) portion of the portfolio shall be between 20% and 40%. The portfolio may also consist of Hedge Funds, Real Estate and Venture Capital/Private Equity/Post Venture Capital.
Hedge Funds The investment approach to this asset class is to use a multi-strategy, multimanager fund of hedge funds. The Board of Regents believes that a fund of fund strategy will provide the best access to a highly diversified pool of hedge fund strategies and managers.
Real Estate The Board of Regents' approach to investing in this asset class is to use real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs are more liquid than owning commercial real estate and diversification can be achieved by purchasing a mutual fund.
Venture Capital/Private Equity/Post Venture Capital This asset class is the riskiest and most volatile permitted investment opportunity. This asset should be considered as an additional diversification investment strategy due to the low correlation with stocks and bonds.
Reserves for contingencies and stock and bond purchases are expected to comprise the balance of the fund. Reserves and excess income should be invested at all times in practical amounts. Reserves can be invested in high quality institutional money market mutual funds or other high quality, short term instruments.

Investment Risks:
Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University System's policy for managing interest rate risk is contained in the investment policy guidelines for the various pooled investment funds:
1. In the Short Term fund, the average maturity of the fixed income portfolio shall not exceed three years.
2. In all the other pooled funds, the average maturity of the fixed income portfolio shall not exceed ten years.
3. Fixed income investments, except in the Diversified Fund, shall be limited to US government agency and corporate debt instruments that meet investment eligibility under Georgia Code 50-17-63.
4. The fixed income target allocation is defined in the investment policy guidelines for each pooled investment fund. These targets may be modified upon recommendation of the fund's investment manager and approval by the Board of Regents.
Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the University System will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The University System's policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments is:
1. The University System has appointed a federally regulated banking institution as custodian. The custodian performs its duties to the standards of a professional custodian and is liable to the University System of Georgia for claims, losses, liabilities and expenses arising from its failure to exercise ordinary care, its willful misconduct, or its failure to otherwise act in accordance with the contract.
2. All securities transactions are to be settled on a delivery vs. payment basis through an approved depository institution such as the Depository Trust Company or the Federal Reserve.
3. Repurchase agreements are to be collateralized by United States Treasury securities at 102% of the market value of the investment at all times.
At June 30, 2007, $159,484,881 of the University System's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty in the University System's name and $2,614,635 were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty's trust department or agent, but not in the University System's name.
Annual Financial Report FY2007 67

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University System's formal policy for managing credit quality risk is contained in the investment policy guidelines for the various pooled investment funds:

1. In all pooled funds except the Diversified Fund, all debt issues must be eligible investments under Georgia Code 50-17-63. Portfolios of debt security funds also must meet the eligible investment criteria under the same code section.

2. The Diversified Fund is permitted to invest in non-investment grade debt issues up to a limit of 15% of the entire portfolio.

3. The portfolios shall be well diversified as to issuer and maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The University System's policy for managing concentration of credit risk is to diversify investments to the extent that any single issuer shall be limited to 5% of the market value in a particular investment fund. United States Government and United States Governmental agency securities explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government are exempt from this requirement.

The following investments of the University System of Georgia subject to concentration of credit risk exceed 5% of total investment holdings as of June 30, 2007:

Annual Financial Report FY2007 68

Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment or a deposit. The University System's policy for managing exposure to foreign currency credit risk is: 1. The Diversified Fund is the only pooled investment fund authorized to hold foreign
investments. The current approved asset allocation target for international equity is 0 10% and for global fixed income is 0 10%. 2. The Diversified Fund is subject to exchange rate risk on these investments, which does ultimately impact performance. 3. The market value of all international investments is reported in United States Dollars. 4. Direct currency hedging is not permissible under the current investment policy guidelines.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
Notes/Loans receivable primarily consist of student loans made through the Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) and comprise substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $2,501,000.

OPERATING LEASES

The University System of Georgia's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 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.

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 real property, copiers and other small business equipment. System-wide real property and equipment operating lease expense for fiscal 2007 was $34,087,091. System-wide future operating lease commitments total $90,608,234.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$115,443,652 $109,977,005 $106,062,477

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description The University System of Georgia participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Annual Financial Report FY2007 81

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 of Georgia's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2007 for employees covered by ERS was $4,621,119. The University System of Georgia's total payroll for all employees was $2,389,439,678.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University System of Georgia 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 of Georgia also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation for both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University System of Georgia amounted 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 2007 amounted to $555,304, of which $485,973 was made by the University System of Georgia and $69,331 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Annual Financial Report FY2007 82

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $66,198,943 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $37,233,293 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 FY2007 83

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 2007 amounted to $6,760,845 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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. All claims submitted by program participants are remitted directly to Blue Cross Blue Shield from various organizational units for verification of coverage, processing and payment through a bank account maintained for this purpose by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Blue Cross Blue Shield maintains an eligibility file based on information furnished by the various organizational units of the University System of Georgia. In addition to the two different selfinsured 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.
Express Scripts is the administrator of the Board of Regents' prescription drug plan. Pharmacy drug claims will be processed in accordance with guidelines established for the Board of Regents' Prescription Drug Benefit Program. Generally, claims are submitted by participating pharmacies directly to Express Scripts for verification, processing and payment. Express Scripts maintains an eligibility file based on information furnished by Blue Cross Blue Shield on behalf of the various organizational units of the University System of Georgia.

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 performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Note 13. 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

Annual Financial Report FY2007 85

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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 12,909 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the University System of Georgia recognized as incurred $58,606,344 of expenditures, which was net of $21,263,805 of participant contributions.

Revenue Bonds Payable: In December 2001, the Development Authority of Fulton County issued the Georgia Tech Athletic Association Revenue Bonds, Series 2001 ("Series 2001 Bonds") with a par value of $112,080,000 to finance the construction of a new baseball stadium, demolish a portion of the Georgia Tech Football stadium, the construction of certain improvements thereto, other miscellaneous capital improvements, and to refinance the outstanding principal on the Series 1995 Bonds and other borrowings. The interest rates on the bonds range from 4% to 5.5% and the bonds mature in October 2032.

On March 16, 2004, the Athletic Association entered into a master swap agreement with UBS AG, Stamford Branch ("UBS"), an investment bank, and simultaneously sold UBS an Interest Rate Swaption ("swaption"). The swaption represents an option to enter into an interest rate swap. The swaption premium generated by this contract was an upfront payment to the Athletic Association of $2,367,000. In exchange for the swaption premium, UBS gains the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a specified swap agreement with the Athletic Association beginning on April 1, 2012. If the swaption is exercised, the Athletic Association and UBS will swap interest rate payments. The Athletic Association will pay interest to UBS based on the stated rates in the swap agreement. UBS would then pay the Athletic Association a floating rate based on the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index plus 21 basis points (0.21%), which approximates the expected interest cost on the variable rate refunding bonds. At June 30, 2007, the swaption had a fair value (representing a liability) of $5,110,882, as calculated by UBS. The swaption premium is recorded as a component of bonds payable in the statement of net assets and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the bonds as a component of interest expense in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets.

Capital Lease Obligations: GATV is party to a lease agreement with TUFF ATDC LLC under which GATV leases space on the first through third floors of the Centergy One Building on Fifth Street in Atlanta. GATV subleases this space to organizations compatible with its mission. The lease extends for thirty years, after which GATV may purchase the property for a nominal charge. The leased space was occupied in August 2003.

GATV is also party to a lease agreement with TUFF GATV45 LLC under which GATV leases space on the fourth and fifth floors of the Centergy One Building, which it subleases to organizations compatible with its mission. This lease commenced April 1, 2005, and extends to December 2034, at which time GATV may purchase the property for a nominal charge. Additionally, GATV may purchase the property during the lease term at an amount determined by a formula accounting for interest rates and the total previous payments made.

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 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. The lease liability at June 30, 2007 was $6,433,675.

Rialto Center Facilities Capital Lease During 1994, the Foundation purchased and has since renovated facilities currently occupied by the University's School of Music. The project is being financed through contributions to the Foundation and through bonds issued by the Downtown Development Authority of the City of Atlanta (the "Authority"). 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 in turn leases the facilities to the University through a series of one year 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.

Annual Financial Report FY2007 104

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 extension of the term of the lease through November 1, 2015.

Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc. Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Medical College of Georgia (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 functions as an independent corporation governed by its articles of incorporation, by-laws and its Board of Directors. 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 on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis, revenue and the related assets are recognized when collected rather than when earned and expenses are generally recognized when paid rather than when incurred. Consequently, contributions receivable from donors, investment income receivables, accounts payable to vendors and accrued expenses are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The modified cash basis reports were

Annual Financial Report FY2007 113

reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $7.8 million to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 919 15th Street, FI-1036, Augusta, GA 30912.

Other adjustments required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

Investments in trust funds and securities with an established market value are carried at market value. The market values for investments are estimated based on quoted market prices for those or similar investments where a market price is available or an amount determined by external investment managers if quoted market prices are not available. Investments in real estate and securities without an established market value are carried at the lower of estimated market value at the date of gift or current market value as estimated by management of the Foundation. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method.
Temporary investments have an original maturity of greater than three months and represent operating funds in excess of immediate cash requirements. The Board of Trustees of the Real Estate Foundation has designated certain temporary investment balances to fund future obligations. As of June 30, 2007, the temporary investment amount included $1,276,600 reserved for debt service.

Fair value for financial reporting purposes is based on quoted market prices or an amount determined by external investment managers if quoted market prices are not available. Management reviews and evaluates fair value provided by the external investment managers as well as the valuation methods and assessments used in determining the fair value of such investments. Such estimated fair values (amounting to $410,993,738 for investments with estimated fair values based on quoted market prices and $169,695,610 for investments with estimated fair values provided by external investment managers at June 30, 2007) may differ from the ultimate realizable value of the investments, and these differences may be material.
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments include $64,702,427 for investments with estimated fair values based on quoted market prices and $26,483,392 for investments with estimated fair values provided by external investment managers at June 30, 2007.

Notes and Loans Payable: $50,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement During 2002, the Real Estate Foundation established a $50 million revolving credit agreement with a bank. The agreement expires on November 30, 2007. The revolving credit agreement provides for borrowings or letters of credit at the Real Estate Foundation's option. Credit available under the revolving credit agreement is reduced by outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2007, amounts outstanding or issued under this agreement included borrowings of $10,499,210 and letters of credit and bank reserves of $8,373,507, resulting in $31,127,283 available as borrowing capacity under this line.

At June 30, 2007, the rates applicable to the borrowings were 5.645%.
On July 1, 2005, the cooperative organization agreement between the Foundation and the Board of Regents ended which constituted a termination event under the revolving credit agreement that provided the bank with certain rights after a 90-day forbearance period. Those termination event rights include (1) the ability to require that the Real Estate Foundation prepay a portion of the outstanding loans which are not directly and fully supported by a lease agreement with the Board of Regents and (2) the ability to decline to make any further loans or to issue further letters of credit to the Real Estate Foundation.
In September 2005, the Real Estate Foundation entered into a forbearance agreement where the bank agreed not to call any borrowings or letters of credit and to continue to make loans under certain conditions. On July 1, 2007, effective with the transfer of sole membership of the Real Estate Foundation, the previous termination event was nullified rendering the forbearance agreement obsolete.
All borrowings under this revolving credit agreement are subject to a guarantee requirement except for those borrowings for projects supported by a rental or license agreement with the Board of Regents or the University.

The fair value of the interest rate cap as of June 30, 2007 is $42,981 and has been recorded as an asset in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

For financial reporting purposes, the Athletic Association is considered a special purpose government agency engaged only in business type activities, as defined by GASB Statement 34. The Association's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Athletic Association made payments to the University for services such as food services, parking services, health services, tuition, gas, electricity, security, and golf course maintenance. These payments totaled $25,899,753 and were recognized as expenses of the Athletic Association.

(the "Counterparty") relating to its variable rate tax-exempt Series 2001 Bonds, tax-exempt Series 2003 Bonds, taxable Series 2005 Bonds and tax-exempt Series 2005B Bonds. Pursuant to an ISDA Master Agreement and Schedule to ISDA Master Agreement each dated as of January 27, 2005 between the Athletic Association and the Counterparty and three Confirmations, the Athletic Association has agreed to pay to the Counterparty a fixed rate of interest in an amount equal to: (1) 3.49% per annum multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2001 Bonds until September 2021; (2) 3.38% per annum multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2003 Bonds until August 2033; (3) 5.05% per annum multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2005 Bonds until July 2021; and (4) 3.483% per annum multiplied by the notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2005B Bonds until August 2033.

Annual Financial Report FY2007 130

Fair Value The Athletic Association will be exposed to variable rates if the counterparty to a swap defaults or if a swap is terminated. A termination of the swap agreement may also result in the Athletic Association's making or receiving a termination payment

Credit Risk As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the swaps represents the Athletic Association's credit exposure to the Counterparty. Should the Counterparty fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreements, the Athletic Association faces a possible loss equivalent to $6.9 million less the cumulative fair value of $2.7 million. As of June 30, 2007, the Counterparty was rated AAA by Moody's and AA+ by S&P.

Basis Risk The swaps expose the Athletic Association to basis risk. The interest rate on the Series 2001 Bonds, the Series 2003 Bond and the Series 2005B Bonds is a tax-exempt interest rate while the LIBOR basis on the variable rate receipt on the interest rate swap agreements is taxable. Tax-exempt interest rates can change without a corresponding change in the 30 day LIBOR rate due to factors affecting the tax-exempt market which do not have a similar effect on

Annual Financial Report FY2007 131

the taxable market. The Athletic Association will be exposed to basis risk under the swaps to the extent that the interest rates on the tax-exempt bonds trades at greater than 67% of LIBOR for extended periods of time. The Athletic Association would also be exposed to tax risk stemming from changes in the marginal income tax rates or those caused by a reduction or elimination in the benefits of tax exemption for municipal bonds.
Termination Risk The interest rate swap agreement uses the International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreement, which includes standard termination events, such as failure to pay and bankruptcy. The Athletic Association or the Counterparty may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the contract. If the swap is terminated, the variable rate bonds would no longer carry a synthetically fixed interest rate. Also, if at the time of termination, the swap has a negative fair value, then the Athletic Association would be liable to the Counterparty for a payment equal to the swap's fair value.
The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc. The Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc. (Arch Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of The University of Georgia (University). The Arch Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the University in support of its programs. The thirty-one member board of the Arch 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 Arch Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Arch Foundation holds and invests is restricted to the activities of the University by the donors.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Research Foundation's policy for managing interest rate risk is divided between short-term and long-term investments. Short-term investments will have a maximum maturity of eighteen months to five years depending on the type of investment. Longterm investments are managed using a planning timeline of five years or more and overall risk measurements rather than specific maturity limits.

Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the Research Foundation will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in possession of an outside party. The Research Foundation does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments.

At June 30, 2007, $34,446,027 of the Research Foundation's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty in the Research Foundation's name.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The Research Foundation's investment policies specify that fixed income securities be of investment grade. The short-term investment policy specifies that corporate bonds be rated BBB (Standard & Poor's) or Baa (Moody's) or higher; the long-term policy requires a BBB (Standard & Poor's) or Baa3 (Moody's) rating or higher. The investment policy also requires that securities that drop below investment grade should be sold at the manager's discretion; in the event that a rating falls below investment grade, the manager will contact the financial advisor and advise them of the proposed strategy for disposition of the security.

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an entity's investment in a single issuer. The Research Foundation's policy for managing concentration of credit risk is divided between short-term and long-term investments. For short-term investments, maximum percentages are set for cash and cash equivalents at 15%, asset backed securities at 50% and corporate bonds at 90%, while U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies debt, and certificates of deposit may comprise 100% for the short-term investments. For long-term investment, equities comprise 40-80%, bonds 20-60% and alternative investments can range 0-20%.

As of June 30, 2007, investments in a single issuer where those investments exceed 5% of total investments were as follows:

Federal National Mortgage Association

7%

Core Investment Grade Bond Trust

5%

Government National Mortgage Association

5%

Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment or a deposit. The Research Foundation's investments are not exposed to foreign currency risk as securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are not permissible by the Research Foundation's investment policy.

Long-term Liabilities for Component Units:

On December 29, 2005, the Newton County Industrial Revenue Authority effected a revenue bond issue "Series 2005" in the amount of $22,695,000. These proceeds will fund the building project, which is expected to be completed by July 1, 2007. Rental payments from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia will be used to amortize this bonded indebtedness. The repayment of this debt is due in annual installments ranging from $430,000 to $1,400,000 through 2035 at 4.6% per annum.

An additional bond issuance (Series 2005) was also effected on December 29, 2005 for the same purpose as the aforementioned issuance. The amount of this issuance was $2,550,000. This bond issuance was transacted separately because of different security (secured by Newton County through an intergovernmental contract). This was packaged as a single bond that was

Annual Financial Report FY2007 203

sold directly to Wachovia Bank. Consequently, the amortization of this issuance is similar to a conventional loan as opposed to a standard bond issue. The repayment of this debt is due in monthly installments of $20,472 through January, 2021 at 5.15% per annum.

The Foundation's LLC received a gift of real estate during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. The gift, a tract/parcel of land in Newton County, Georgia, was donated by Mt. Pleasant, LLC for the purpose of the construction of the new Georgia Perimeter College campus in Newton County. The land has been capitalized on the Foundation's books and is included in the asset section of the Statement of Net Assets.

Waycross College

Waycross College Foundation, Inc. Waycross College Foundation, Inc. (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-one 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $85,555 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 2001 South Georgia Parkway, Waycross, GA 31503.

Investments for Component Units:

Waycross College Foundation holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $1.5 million. The $1.4 million corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Waycross College Foundation,

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $994,250. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $1,144,472 in the category of Capital Assets, net.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($305,159). The combination of the increase in total assets of $994,250 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($305,159) yields an increase in total net assets of $1,299,409. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $1,144,472.

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 $1,210,668 in fiscal 2007. Tuition & Fees included an 8% increase and although revenues decreased in Grants and Contracts and Sales and Services categories, Auxiliary revenues increased to offset the decline.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $586,624 is a result of a growth in the overall student population and the changing environment of residential life on the College's campus.

Nonoperating revenues decreased by ($61,493) for the year primarily due to an increase of $688,075 in State Appropriations along with a decrease in non-capital state gifts.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $722,480 and primarily affected the Instruction and Academic Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of 2 faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities decreased by ($131,580) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with the improvements in the energy efficiency of the College's facilities affecting the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by Abraham Baldwin Agricultural 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 Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
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 FY2007. The Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation, Inc. had investments of $7.5 million as of June 30, 2007. The Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation, Inc. had long-term debt of $49 million in the form of two bond issues and notes payable. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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.

ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Abraham Baldwin Agricultural 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 Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is one of thirty-five (35) 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 Abraham Baldwin Agricultural 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. 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is reporting the activity for the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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.
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.
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.
Inventories Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred $136,405 in capital additions to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural 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 compensated absences 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 $702,790 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007,
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

$521,201 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $462,740, for a net increase of $58,461. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $761,251.

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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.

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:

June 30, 2007

Federal Loans Inst it ut ional Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

$618,282 28,422
$646,704

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

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$816,540 1,765,650 (304,302) $2,277,888

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:

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.

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $6,151.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

Required Contribution

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$748,785 $731,016 $700,908

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $45,353. The College's total payroll for all employees was $11,830,569.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 7.16% 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $5,401, of which $4,721 was made by the College and $680 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $247,618 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $136,678 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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 2007 amounted to $18,635 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, 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, 2007, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College recognized as incurred $678,847 of expenditures, which was net of $212,916 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation, Inc. (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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $326,018 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 2802 Moore Highway - ABAC 13, Tifton, GA 31793.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Albany State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $36,280,978. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $33,383,547 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $34,056,451. The combination of the increase in total assets of $36,280,978 and the increase in total liabilities of $34,056,451 yields an increase in total net assets of $2,224,527. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Unrestricted in the amount of $3,122,488.

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 $6,626,906 in fiscal 2007. Revenues increased in Grants and Contracts and Auxiliary categories.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $3,246,447 is a result of the changing environment of residential life on the University's campus. During the year, residential life constructed 1,200 beds of new housing on the campus using a third party developer in a construction and leasing

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

relationship. The net effect to the campus is that the students actually have more on-campus residential life availability.
Nonoperating revenues increased by $1,788,337 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,385,788 in State Appropriations.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $2,151,221 and primarily affected the Instruction, Student Services and Auxiliary Enterprise categories. The increase reflects the addition of staff members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $203,860 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by 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.

Capital Assets The University had one significant capital asset addition for facilities in fiscal year 2007. The residence halls were completed and the Early Learning Center was under construction in fiscal year 2007. For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements. Long Term Debt and Liabilities Albany State University had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $35,763,169 of which $1,781,384 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007. For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Component Units In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Albany State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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.

ALBANY STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Unit - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Albany State University is reporting the activity for the Albany State University Foundation, Inc.
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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 predominant activity takes place. Albany State University splits summer activity between fiscal years.
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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 grants 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Albany State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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. Albany State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,374,957 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $937,825 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $869,613, for a net increase of $68,212. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,443,169.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$9,694 352,085
2,714 $364,493

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.

June 30, 2007
$240,480 2,385,298 1,721,658 $4,347,436

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.

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $3,901,575 and the bank balance was $4,759,877. Of the University's deposits, $4,659,877 were uninsured and collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the University's name.

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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 9. Significant Commitments

The University had significant unearned, outstanding, construction or renovation contracts executed in the amount of $29,917 as of June 30, 2007. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying basic financial statements.

Note 10. Lease Obligations

Albany State University is obligated under various operating leases for the use of real property (land, buildings, and office facilities) and equipment. Albany State University is obligated under one capital lease agreement for the acquisition of real property.
CAPITAL LEASES

Capital leases are generally payable in monthly installments and expire in 2034. Expenditures for fiscal year 2007 were $200,592 which represented interest expense. Interest rates range from 3.25 percent to 5.5 percent. The following is a summary of the carrying values of assets held under capital lease at June 30, 2007:

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

Buildings Total Assets Held Under Capital Lease

$34,320,000 $34,320,000

Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.

Albany State University had one capital lease with related entities in the current fiscal year. In August 2006, Albany State University entered into a capital lease of $34,320,000 at 3.25 percent to 5.5 percent with the Albany State University Foundation, a discretely presented component unit, whereby the University leases a building for a twenty-nine year period that began August 2006 and expires July 2034. The outstanding liability at June 30, 2007 on this capital lease is $34,320,000.

OPERATING LEASES

Albany State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2009. 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.

Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$1,505,814 $1,397,830 $1,407,599

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description Albany State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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

Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $9,613. The University's total payroll for all employees was $25,967,956.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $1,145, of which $1,001 was made by the University and $144 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $545,551 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $306,445 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 2007 amounted to $46,968 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
Albany State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 13. 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 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 175 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Albany State University recognized as incurred $656,981 of expenditures, which was net of $229,934 of participant contributions.

ARMSTRONG ATLANTIC STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Armstrong Atlantic State University is located in Savannah, within twenty-five miles of some of Georgia's most beautiful coastline. Since its founding over 70 years ago by the city of Savannah, Armstrong Atlantic has become a vibrant 250-acre, urban campus of 6,700 students serving a wider community of nearly 340,000 residents. The university offers programs at two other centers in the coastal Georgia area. It is the lead institution at the Liberty Center in Hinesville, an education consortium with Waycross College, and is a cooperative partner at the Brunswick Center, located at Coastal Georgia Community College. Founded in 1935 as Armstrong Junior College, the institution became known for its state-of-the-art technology-related, health professions, and education programs. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that follow. The student body is 30-70% male-female and a mix of 20-80% non-traditional/traditional students. The average student is 26. The average SAT for fall 2006 entering freshmen was 1018.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Armstrong Atlantic State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 $1,991,682. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to increases of $3,687,758 in receivables, $577,500 in Capital Assets, net and offset by a decrease in cash of ($2,753,742).
The total liabilities for the year increased by $3,485,110. This was due in part by an increase in deferred revenue of $2,297,616. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,991,682 and the increase in total liabilities of $3,485,110 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($1,493,428). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of Unrestricted Net Assets, in the amount of ($1,489,486).

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 $6,653,049 in fiscal 2007. This was primarily due to an increase in tuition and fees and grants.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $1,741,910 is primarily due to increases in housing.
Non-operating revenues and expenses increased by $1,242,449 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,707,101 in State Appropriations.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $2,771,357 and primarily affected the Instruction and Public Service categories. The increase reflects merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $1,019,389 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased utility rates in Plant Operations and Auxiliary Enterprises.
Residential life has approximately 800 students on the campus using a third party developer in a construction and leasing relationship. An independent foundation, Educational Properties Foundation, Inc. (EPFI), owns the units, and a division of the University, Student Affairs, manages these units. An auxiliary enterprise, Housing, receives rent from students and pays EPFI for the leasing of those units.

ARMSTRONG ATLANTIC STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Armstrong Atlantic 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 Armstrong Atlantic State University is one of thirty-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Armstrong Atlantic State University is reporting the activity for the Armstrong Atlantic State University Foundation, Inc. and the Armstrong Atlantic State University Educational Properties Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 grants 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Armstrong Atlantic State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 $1,600,461 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $1,266,961 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,116,191, for a net increase of $150,770. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,751,231.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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:

June 30, 2007
$172,442 10,702 34,273
$217,417

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.

$855,140

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 Armstrong Atlantic 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.

Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee wavers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$1,472,188 $1,376,453 $1,281,526

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Armstrong Atlantic State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $86,427. The University's total payroll for all employees was $33,704,837.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $10,293, of which $8,997 was made by the University and $1,296 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $1,119,049 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $628,703 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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 2007 amounted to $117,958 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
Armstrong Atlantic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, 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, 2007, Armstrong Atlantic State University recognized as incurred $635,454 of expenditures, which was net of $266,364 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Atlanta Metropolitan College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 College increased by $649,931. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was due in part to an increase of $229,752 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $225,732. The combination of the increase in total assets of $649,931 and the increase in total liabilities of $225,732 yields an increase in total net assets of $424,199. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $229,752.

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 decreased by ($96,420) in fiscal 2007. Although Grants and Contracts increased, Auxiliary and certain other categories decreased.

Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The College realized an increase of $135,395 in grants and contracts. This was mainly due to a 3% increase in the number of Pell awards granted during the fiscal year.
The Auxiliary revenue decreased by ($101,415). The discontinuation of the athletic program caused a decrease in auxiliary enterprise revenue. As part of the phase-out of the program, the College discontinued the athletic student meal plan, a key source of food service revenue, and decreased athletic fees.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $227,171 for the year primarily due to an increase of $216,483 in State Appropriations.
State capital gifts and grants increased by $445,780. The sole source of this revenue was GSFIC. The increase is mainly due to the increase in funds received for the Entry and Roadway Improvement Project.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $281,507. This reflects a merit increase of 3% and increased health insurance costs.
Utilities decreased by ($244,515) during the past year. As an effort to reduce overall utility costs, an energy-operational audit was performed by the physical plant staff. The primary gas powered water chiller was replaced with an electric chiller and water conservation measures were implemented. These actions resulted in significant reductions in natural gas and water costs.
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.

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 good. The College received a three percent increase in funding and 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.

ATLANTA METROPOLITAN COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Unit - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 FY2007, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, the College was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies and resale inventories are carried using the weighted average method.
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 or 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
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment. Residual values will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Atlanta Metropolitan College.
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 compensated absences 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 $507,443 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $357,387 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $346,872, for a net increase of $10,515. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $517,958.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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.

Reserve for Encumbrances Reserve for Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$1,745,227 53,934
(437,796) $1,361,365

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, and (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts.

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.

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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

Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$ 540,884 $ 546,315 $ 566,523

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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.

Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Atlanta Metropolitan College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $68,547 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $38,889 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $49,397 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Atlanta Metropolitan College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 13. 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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 53 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Atlanta Metropolitan College recognized as incurred $204,899 of expenditures, which was net of $78,600 of participant contributions.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Augusta State University is one of 35 institutions of higher education 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 educational opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds, with a specific emphasis on service to Georgians in the Central Savannah River Area.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Augusta State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 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.

Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

1,452,689 4,504,335 $76,560,086

The Total Assets of the institution increased by $1,549,648. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $1,225,613 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The major assets added included a privately funded Golf House, increased parking and improved fire protection in the Library.
The Total Liabilities for the year increased by $419,201, primarily in Current Liabilities with increases in Accounts Payable and Deferred Revenue partially offset by a decrease in Salaries Payable. The combination of the increase in Total Assets of $1,549,648 and the increase in Total Liabilities of $419,201 yields an increase in Total Net Assets of $1,130,447. The increase in Total Net Assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $1,456,288.

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 $3,755,436, or 13 percent, versus FY 2006. Tuition and Fee revenue was up $2,861,072, or 21 percent, from tuition increases ranging from 5 to 8 percent, enrollment growth of 4 percent, and a full year impact of the new student center fee. Auxiliary Revenue grew $432,156 from increased student housing rental income.
Nonoperating Revenue improved by $1,765,715, or 7 percent, due to increased State appropriations along with higher Investment Income and Gifts. State Appropriations rose by $1,252,525, or 5 percent reflecting the University's continued enrollment growth. The increase in Investment Income is due to the higher interest rates available.
Capital Gifts and Grants increased significantly from the prior year. The increase in State Capital Gifts covers a range of projects, while the gain in Other Capital Gifts and Grants is due primarily to contributions for the new Golf House which was completed this fiscal year.

The University's Total Expenses, as shown above, increased 11 percent versus last year. Excluding Scholarships and Auxiliary Enterprises, core University operating expenses rose by 7 percent versus FY 2006. The year-to-year increase came in part from higher compensation expenses, up $1.7 million, or 5 percent. Merit increases and additional faculty positions were the primary factors in the growth in compensation expense. Also, operating and equipment expenditures increased by $1.2 million over last year to support continued campus growth.
By function, Instruction expenses rose by 6.2 percent versus last year due to merit increases and additional faculty positions. Academic Support expenses were up only 1.5 percent due to very modest increases in the Library, IT Academic Services and Media Services. Student Services expenses increased by 9.9 percent due to anticipated increases related to the new student center and to the filling of vacant positions. Institutional Support costs rose 6.9 percent versus the prior year from growth in University Advancement with the addition of a new director level position to increase fundraising efforts, higher employee fringe benefit costs and additional support costs in Public Safety and IT Administrative Services.
Plant Operations expenses, as reported above, were up 14 percent primarily due to increased project spending, principally for the storm water containment project. Utilities included in Plant Operations increased $236,136, or 15 percent from higher electricity and natural gas prices and from the addition of the new student center building. Excluding Utilities, ongoing Plant Operations expenses were up just 3.9 percent versus last year.
The large increase shown in Scholarships and Fellowships versus last year is due almost entirely to an accounting reclassification of certain expenses.
Auxiliary Enterprises expenses grew primarily due to increased occupancy at University Village, ASU's student housing.

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.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Augusta State University serves the state of Georgia and the Central Savannah River Area by providing its students with academic instruction that is focused on excellence in teaching, advancement of knowledge and enrichment of the community in a climate that fosters humane values and a lifelong love of learning.
Reporting Entity Augusta State University is one of thirty-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Augusta State University is reporting the activity for the Augusta State University Foundation, Inc. and the Augusta State University Athletic Association.
See Note 16, 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
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $633,553 to Augusta State University.
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 $1,323,059 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $1,016,283 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $930,464, for a net increase of $85,819. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,408,878.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Rest rict ed - E& G and Ot her Organized Act ivit ies Federal Loans Inst it ut ional Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

June 30, 2007
$319,376 809,817 246,592
$1,375,785

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$127,514 4,899,103
38,526 (837,324) $4,227,819

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.

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.

Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of the difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $4,712,977 and the bank balance was $5,074,935. Of the University's deposits, $4,974,935 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $4,974,935 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the University's name.
B. Investments
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the University's investments was $4,070,926, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents and/or Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services investment pools as follows:

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.
The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.
Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates or debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk.
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Short Term Fund is 2.24 years. Of the University's total investment of $3,546,210 in the Short Term Fund, $3,532,735 is invested in debt securities.
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Total Return Fund is 9.35 years. Of the University's total investment of $431,493 in the Total Return Fund, $122,500 is invested in debt securities.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $135,644.

Note 10. Lease Obligations

Augusta State University is obligated under various operating leases for the use of real property (land, buildings, and office facilities) and equipment, and also is obligated under capital leases and installment purchase agreements for the acquisition of real property.
CAPITAL LEASES

Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between 2008 and 2035. Expenditures for fiscal year 2007 were $2,126,156 of which $1,637,309 represented interest and $163,667 represented executory costs. Total principal paid on capital leases was $325,180 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Interest rates range from 4.72 percent to 5.23 percent. The following is a summary of the carrying values of assets held under capital lease at June 30, 2007:

Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

Buildings Equipment

$30,387,624 200,413

Total Assets Held Under Capital Lease $30,588,037

Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.

Augusta State University had three capital leases with related entities in the current fiscal year. In August 2004, Augusta State University entered into a capital lease of $20,246,137 at 5.23 percent with ASU Foundation, whereby the University leases a student housing complex for a thirty year period that began September, 2005 and expires January, 2035.

In February, 2005, the University entered into an additional capital lease of $11,782,962 at 4.72 percent with ASU Foundation, whereby the University leases a student center building for a 29 year term that began March, 2006 and expires June, 2034.

The University is responsible for operating costs, such as utilities and insurance for both leases listed above. The outstanding liability at June 30, 2007, on these capital leases is $20,546,264 and $11,860,938 respectively. The University may cancel the lease agreements at the end of any fiscal year when sufficient appropriations, revenues, income, grants or other funding sources are not available. The Augusta State University Foundation is a component unit of Augusta State University.

Augusta State University also entered into an installment purchase agreement for equipment with the Office of Information and Instruction Technology (OIIT), a related state agency, on December 1, 2004. The final installment under this agreement was paid in December, 2006. There is no outstanding liability for this lease as of June 30, 2007.

OPERATING LEASES

Augusta State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2010. 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 cancellable 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.

Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007 26

accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Augusta State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,014,545 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $572,277 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $78,206 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 13. 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.
Augusta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 158 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Augusta State University recognized as incurred $670,780 of expenditures, which was net of $258,994 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Augusta State University Foundation, Inc. Augusta State University Foundation, Inc. (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 is the single member of the following three limited liability companies: 1) ASU Jaguar Student Housing I, LLC which is a limited liability company organized for the purpose of constructing and holding an apartment complex for the benefit of students attending Augusta State University; 2) ASU Jaguar Student Center, LLC which is a limited liability company organized for the purpose of constructing and holding the student center property located on the campus of the University for the benefit of its students; and 3) ASU Jaguar Ventures, LLC which is a limited liability company organized for the purpose of constructing a golf course clubhouse. 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $ 2,036,068 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 2500 Walton Way, Augusta, GA 30904.

Augusta State University Athletic Association Augusta State University Athletic Association (the Athletic Association) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Augusta State University (University). The Athletic Association promotes the educational, athletic, and physical education programs of the University. The Athletic Association leases Forest Hills Golf Club (the Club), an 18-hole golf course, from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia for a nominal fee. The Athletic Association in turn has entered into a management agreement with the Augusta Golf Association, Inc. (the AGA) to manage, operate and maintain Forest Hills Golf Club. The income of the Athletic Association is solely derived from the revenues of the Golf Club and interest income. Because these restricted resources held by the Athletic Association 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 Athletic Association is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.
The Athletic Association 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the

BAINBRIDGE COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Bainbridge College is one of the 35 institutions of higher education 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 seen some growth in headcount, 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 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 FY2007 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.

1,690,065 $8,319,421

The total assets of the institution increased by $2,289,062. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $486,260 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $342,915. The combination of the increase in total assets of $2,289,062 and the increase in total liabilities of $342,915 yields an increase in total net assets of $1,946,147. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the categories of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $486,260 and Unrestricted Net Assets in the amount of $1,417,202.

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 $2,200,941 in fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily driven by Tuition & Fees, which increased 18% and Grants and Contracts, which increased 34%.

Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue decrease of ($118,816) is a result of the changing environment of the outsourcing of the College Bookstore. In the process of outsourcing the Bookstore, the store was closed periodically as the change over occurred. In addition, the College will no longer see a revenue stream from the Bookstore in the form of sales, but instead will receive a quarterly commission payment from the management of the store.

Non-operating revenues and expenses increased by $1,370,995 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,287,631 in State Appropriations.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,394,253 and primarily affected the Instruction and Academic Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities increased by $136,253 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the addition of the new site in Early County and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by Bainbridge 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
Bainbridge College absorbed the Early County Site of the Albany Technical College during the fiscal year. The capital asset transfer between the campuses is being phased, with the Equipment transfer occurring as of July 1, 2006 and the Land and Building transfers to occur in fiscal 2008. The net book value of the Equipment transfer was $48,295. This amount is reported as a Special Item on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets and the Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 16 for additional information.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Long Term Debt and Liabilities
Bainbridge College had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $392,819 of which $215,408 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Bainbridge College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. The Bainbridge College Foundation had endowment investments of $107,693 as of October 31, 2006. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 17, 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.

BAINBRIDGE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Bainbridge College is reporting the activity for the Bainbridge College Foundation.
See Note 17, 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 implemented GASB
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 13

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.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at cost on the weighted average basis. 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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Bainbridge College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $347,293 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $349,915 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $304,389, for a net increase of $45,526. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $392,819.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$27,101 5,705
66,169 $98,975

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 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

Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the College were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 17

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.

Of these uninsured deposits, $2,606,793 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent in the College's name.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 18

B. Investments At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the College's investments was $652,452, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents investment pools as follows:

Investment Pools Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund

$652,452

T otal Investment Pools

$652,452

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The College does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Balanced Income Fund is 9.35 years. Of the College's total investment of $652,452 in the Balanced Income Fund, $393,820 is invested in debt securities.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The College does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk since all investments are in the Board of Regents Investment Pool.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$492,798 $421,648 $369,397

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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.

Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 23

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 with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $155,781 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $86,922 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $51,781 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 24

Note 12. 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 healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 13. 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.
Bainbridge College Annual Financial Report FY2007 25

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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, 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, 2007, Bainbridge College recognized as incurred $214,510 of expenditures, which was net of $67,701 of participant contributions.

Note 17. Component Units
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 sevenmember 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is November 1 through October 31. The Foundation reported activity through June 30, 2006 in Bainbridge College's FY2006 Annual Financial Report. This statement represents activity for the period July 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006.
During the period July 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, the Foundation distributed $759 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.
Investments for Component Units:
Bainbridge College Foundation holds endowment investments in the amount of $107,693. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Bainbridge College Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 50% of the earnings may be used for academic scholarships. The remaining 50% of the earnings are set aside as a reserve.

CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
Clayton State University is one of the 35 institutions of higher education of the University System of Georgia. It is located 15 miles south of Atlanta and enrolls over 6,000 students from 30 states and 25 foreign countries. Clayton State is adjacent to the Georgia Archives and the Southeast Region Archives of the National Archives and Records Administration the only place in the United States with co-located state and national facilities. The campus environment, 163 beautifully wooded acres with five lakes, is a hallmark of the institution and a surprising contrast to the vibrant urban life of metropolitan Atlanta. Nationally ranked Clayton State Lakers men's and women's athletic programs culminated the year with the Laker women's basketball team reaching the NCAA Division II "Final Four".

During the 2007 year, Clayton State University had two new graduate degree programs approved: the Master of Health Administration (MHA) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA). Classes for these programs will begin in FY08. This brings the total number of programs for Clayton State University to four Master degree programs and thirtyseven undergraduate majors available.
On June 12, 2007 the University System of Georgia Board of Regents approved the lease for land on the Clayton State University campus to build a student housing unit and a student activity center. The property, which belongs to the University System of Georgia, will be leased to Clayton State University Foundation, Inc. for the purpose of constructing the housing facility and the student activity center. Construction will begin this fall and if all goes according to plan will be completed for the fall term, 2008.
The 451-bed on-campus housing facility will be the first-ever for the University and the student activity center will house a recreation center and student union. It is expected that this facility will become the hub of student activities on-campus. The Student Activity Center, a 62,000 square foot building, will house a two-court gymnasium, fitness areas (cardio vascular equipment and free weights) and aerobics studios. In addition, the facility will have meeting rooms for student organizations and clubs, a ballroom, game room spaces, lounge/study areas and a caf.

The addition of these two buildings will serve to augment the total college experience for students and enhance the already exceptional reputation of excellence in education, the arts and athletics at Clayton State University.
Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Clayton State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 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 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 $499,173. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was due to a decrease of ($1,734,846) in Capital Assets, net, offset by increases in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivables and Inventories.
The total liabilities for the year increased $527,943. The combination of the increase in total assets of $499,173 and the increase in total liabilities of $527,943 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($28,770).
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.

8,834 $55,284,595

Operating revenues increased by $441,710 in fiscal 2007; mostly due to increase in grants and contracts along with the increase in tuition and fee revenue.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $2,822,898 for the year partially due to an increase of $1,255,142 in State Appropriations and a decrease in other nonoperating expenses.
Provost expenses of $899,698 were reclassified from Institutional Support to Academic Support. Also, the Avaya Telecommunications equipment lease payment was allocated to functional categories in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2006, this payment was categorized entirely as Institutional Support. The effect of this was an increase in Academic Support expenses between fiscal 2006 and 2007 and a decrease in Institutional Support.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,053,681, a 3% increase. The increase reflects the merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities decreased by ($494,562) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with the stabilization of natural gas costs in the winter of fiscal year 2007 along with conservation efforts on behalf of the University.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by Clayton 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
Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 5

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 negative 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. With the addition of dormitory space the University anticipates increased enrollment along with a higher rate of graduation and retention. The University will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. Dr. Thomas K.

CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Clayton 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 Clayton State University is one of thirty-five (35) 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 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 State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Clayton 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 State University) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Clayton State University is reporting the activity for the Walter and Emilie Spivey Foundation and the Clayton State University Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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
Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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.
The University, as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) reports summer school revenues and expenses between fiscal years.
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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 grants 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Clayton 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
Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 State University had accrued liability in the amount of $1,649,581 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $1,198,759 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,167,435, for a net increase of $31,324. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,680,905.

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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.

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:

$12,333

Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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.

June 30, 2007
$1,122,114 1,419,215 702,471
$3,243,800

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 Clayton 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.

Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal year 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in better gauge of the year over year change.
Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $3,860,171 and the bank balance was $4,393,326. Of the University's deposits, $4,293,326 were uninsured and uncollateralized.
B. Investments
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the University's investments was $1,698,970, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents and/or Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services investment pools as follows:

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Short Term Fund is 2.24 years. Of the University's total investment of $ 299,056 in the Short Term Fund, $297,920 is invested in debt securities.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Total Return Fund is 9.35 years. Of the University's total investment of $1,068,036 in the Total Return Fund, $303,215 is invested in debt securities.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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. This loan fund has been closed by the Federal program administrators. The University had $0 in allowance for uncollectible loans at June 30, 2007.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Clayton 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Clayton State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Clayton 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

$1,331,801 $1,309,323 $1,126,247

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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.

Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

Funding Policy Clayton 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $984,737 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $561,310 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Clayton 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 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 2007 amounted to $192,054 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.

Note 12. 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 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 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 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 13. 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 State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Clayton State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Clayton 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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 126 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Clayton State University recognized as incurred $534,563 of expenditures, which was net of $175,580 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 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,324,751. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $974,272 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash and cash equivalents.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $209,931. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,324,751 and the increase in total liabilities of $209,931 yields an increase in total net assets of $1,114,820. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $974,272.

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.

Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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 was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets for the year. 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.

COASTAL GEORGIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Coastal Georgia Community College serves the state by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge of Georgia citizens.
Reporting Entity Coastal Georgia Community College is one of thirty-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Coastal Georgia Community College is reporting the activity for the Coastal Georgia Community College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, Component Units, for Foundation notes.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

component of investment income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $17,877 to Coastal Georgia Community College.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $540,281 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $467,486 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $404,703, for a net increase of $62,783. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $603,064.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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:

Rest rict ed - E& G and Ot her Organized Act ivit ies Inst it ut ional Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

June 30, 2007
$42,304 6,631
$48,935

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$44,143 349,351
21,000 240,473 $654,967

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 2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the College were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $1,098,517 and the bank balance was $656,752. Of the College's deposits, $556,752 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $556,752 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent in the College's name.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

B. Investments

At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the College's investments was $97,102, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents investment pools as follows:

Investment Pools Board of Regents T otal Return Fund

$97,102

T otal Investment Pools

$97,102

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.
Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The College has no formal policy for managing interest rate risk since all investments are in the Board of Regents Investment Pool.
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Total Return Fund is 9.35 years. Of the College's total investment of $97,102 in the Total Return Fund, $27,567 is invested in debt securities.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligation. The College has no formal policy for managing credit quality risk since all investments are in the Board of Regents Investment Pool.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Coastal Georgia Community 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Coastal Georgia Community College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Coastal Georgia Community 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

$538,489 $520,382 $492,920

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Coastal Georgia Community College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $33,961. The College's total payroll for all employees was $10,464,527.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $4,044, of which $3,535 was made by the College and $509 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $287,850 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $162,227 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 2007 amounted to $56,197 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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. 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 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.
Coastal Georgia Community College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 83 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Coastal Georgia Community College recognized as incurred $267,960 of expenditures, which was net of $97,650 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Coastal Georgia Community College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, taxexempt 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 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 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. 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, 2006, the Foundation distributed $656,559 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 3700 Altama Avenue, Brunswick, GA 31520.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Columbus State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

$65,143,553

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,443,659. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $604,936 in the receivable category. The balance of the increase is mainly due to an increase of $282,223 in the category of Capital Assets, net.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $919,846. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,443,659 and the increase in total liabilities of $919,846 yields an increase in total net assets of $523,813. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $282,223.

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 $6,037,093 in fiscal 2007. Revenues associated with tuition and fees, net of sponsored and unsponsored scholarships increased approximately $3,082,619. This increase reflects a moderate increase in fees per semester as well as an increase in enrollment.

Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $2,346,719 is a result of the changing environment of residential life on the University's campus as well as a slight increase in student housing fees.

Under non-operating revenues (expenses), State Appropriations increased by approximately $3,003,491 based on formula funding and other such factors such as additional square footage.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $4,575,593 and primarily affected the Instruction category. The increase reflects the addition of faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities increased by $263,263 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with additional facilities as well as a utility rate increase.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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.

Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Columbus State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The University continues to have significant economic concerns regarding the lack of funding for support of the RiverPark campus which was fully operational effective Fall 2007. The RiverPark campus consisting of the Schwob School of Music, as well as the Art and Theatre instructional facilities, is located in downtown Columbus. The facilities of RiverPark campus were built with 100% private funding. Furthermore, the Columbus State University Foundation made the financial commitment to support the downtown campus for the fiscal year 2007.
The presence of 100 faculty and staff and approximately 500 to 600 hundred students on a daily basis at the RiverPark campus has had a positive economic impact relative to the city of Columbus and in particular has improved the economic status of downtown Columbus. This project is in keeping with the institution's strategic goal to develop and sustain partnerships for the benefit of Columbus State University and the surrounding community as well as the mission of the University System of Georgia to contribute to the economic advancement of Georgia by bringing these resources to bear on the economic development of the State.

COLUMBUS STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Columbus State University is reporting the activity for the Columbus State University Foundation, Inc., Foundation Properties, Inc., Columbus State University Athletic Fund, Inc. and Columbus State University Alumni Association, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 2007 15

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, 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
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 compensated absences 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 $1,815,944 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $1,406,941 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,193,802, for a net increase of $213,139. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,029,083.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$2,811,232

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.

June 30, 2007
$106,829 5,313,568
194,424 3,156,825 $8,771,646

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 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:
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.
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 19

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal year 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

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. 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Columbus State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Columbus 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 Columbus State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $46,000. The University's total payroll for all employees was $37,465,014.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation for both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $5,479, of which $4,789 was made by the University and $690 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Columbus State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $941,382 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $527,569 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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 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 2007 amounted to $163,793 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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 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.
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 29

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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
Columbus State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 30

individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee. As of June 30, 2007, there were 251 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Columbus State University recognized as incurred $1,042,573 of expenditures, which was net of $445,023 of participant contributions.

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.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Dalton State College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

23,394,238 1,961
2,263,234 $25,659,433

The total assets of the institution for FY07 increased by $864,804. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $543,824 in the category of Capital Assets, net, as well as, an increase of $320,980 in the category of Current Assets.
The total liabilities for the current year decreased by ($160,505). The combination of the increase in total assets of $864,804 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($160,505) yields an increase in total net assets of $1,025,309. The increase in total net assets is primarily a result of the increase in the categories of Current Assets and Capital Assets, Net as mentioned in the above paragraph.

Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

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 $1,721,063 in fiscal year 2007. This was due primarily to increases in three areas. Tuition, along with two other mandatory fees, were increased during FY07. Second, both enrollment and FTE increased during the 06-07 school year. Lastly, the College received an increase in grant funding from such grants as DTAE, PELL, etc.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue decrease of ($85,633) is a result of an increase in competition at the Bookstore from outside competitors, primarily internet services.
Nonoperating revenues increased by $592,513 for the year primarily due to an increase of $611,358 in State Appropriations.
Total revenues decreased ($1,160,228) year over year. This decrease was due to the completion of the James E. Brown Center (Continuing Education building). Although the building was completed in FY07 only $58,305 was received from GSFIC in capital gift revenue in the current fiscal year, whereas nearly $4.5 million was received during FY07.
Expenses increased by $717,814 year over year. This increase can be attributed to both the addition of a new department in the Educational Technology Training Center, as well as several other new faculty and staff positions.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by 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 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, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Dalton State College is reporting the activity for the Dalton State College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Dalton State College.
Deposits Dalton State College does not maintain any deposits.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $488,119 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $426,416 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $344,351, for a net increase of $82,065. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $570,184.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$1,167 $1,167

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 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

Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $936,979 and the bank balance was $1,664,007. Of the College's deposits, $1,464,007 was uninsured and uncollateralized.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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.

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $344,339 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $191,245 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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 2007 amounted to $46,057 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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. 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.
Dalton State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 90 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Dalton State College recognized as incurred $361,224 of expenditures, which was net of $159,212 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

The Dalton State College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Dalton State 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 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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is April 1 through March 31. Amounts reported due to or due from the College do not agree because of these different fiscal year-ends.

During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Foundation distributed $1,330,217 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Fiscal Affairs Office at 650 College Drive, Dalton, GA 30720.

Investments for Component Units:

Dalton State College Foundation holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $12.47 million. The $ 8.6 million corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Darton College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 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 $3,957,217. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $3,574,071 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash and cash equivalents.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($93,350). The combination of the increase in total assets of $3,957,217 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($93,350) yields an increase in total net assets of $4,050,567. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $3,707,675.

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 decreased by ($62,152) in fiscal 2007. Although Tuition & Fees revenue was relatively flat from 2006 to 2007, revenues decreased in Grants and Contracts, and Auxiliary revenue.

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue decrease of ($47,248) is a result of the changing environment of the competition for Bookstore sales. There is a steady increase in competition from online retailers for text book sales.

Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $928,042 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,336,273 in State Appropriations.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,016,729 and primarily affected the Instruction, Institutional Support and Student Services categories. The increase reflects the addition of faculty or staff members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities decreased by ($112,070) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with careful monitoring of the amount of electricity and natural gas consumed by the College. During fiscal year 2007 the College hired an energy manager to pursue additional areas where the College could save utility costs.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the 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 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 has one significant capital asset project under construction. The Academic Services Building is scheduled for completion during October 2007. This project recorded an additional $4,757,090 of construction cost on the books of the College during FY 2007. For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements. Long Term Debt and Liabilities Darton College had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $1,316,031 of which $498,560 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007. For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Component Units In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Darton College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. Darton College Foundation, Inc. had investments of $1.7 million as of June 30, 2007. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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.

DARTON COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Darton College is reporting the activity for Darton College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at cost using the weighted average method. Resale Inventories are also valued at cost 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 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 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Darton College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a residence hall. Since the College has no student housing, the College has no deposits of this nature on its books.

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 compensated absences 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 accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $667,920 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $593,896 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $548,445, for a net increase of $45,451. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $713,371.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
As of June 30, 2007 the College had no expendable restricted net assets.
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 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.

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.

5.68 percent. The term of the lease will extend until June 2011, and the outstanding liability on this lease at June 30, 2007 was $602,660.
OPERATING LEASES
Darton College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2011.

All agreements are cancellable 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 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$783,095 $754,167 $692,495

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description Darton College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a costsharing multiple-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

Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $34,149. The College's total payroll for all employees was $15,140,968.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $4,067, of which $3,555 was made by the College and $512 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $274,355 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $154,568 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 2007 amounted to $147,063 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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
Darton College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, 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, 2007, Darton College recognized as incurred $381,078 of expenditures, which was net of $124,131 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Darton College Foundation, Inc. (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 College in support of its programs. The board of trustees 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $324,681 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Treasurer at 2400 Gillionville Road, Albany, GA 31707.

Investments for Component Units:

Darton College Foundation holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $1.7 million. The corpus of the endowment is nonexpendable, and the earnings on the investment may be expended as directed by the board of trustees. The majority of the earnings on the endowment funds are spent on scholarships for students.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
East Georgia College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 $2,811,617. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $2,993,928 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $578,504. The combination of the increase in total assets of $2,811,617 and the increase in total liabilities of $578,504 yields an increase in total net assets of $2,233,113. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $3,005,341. This increase in Capital Assets is due to the completion of our new Student Center Complex addition.

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.

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

East Georgia College is a commuter institution without a residential population. Revenues associated with auxiliary services increased by $12,477 during the year due primarily to an increase in commission revenues from privatized operations that include the snack bar, the bookstore, and vending operations.
Non-operating Capital Gift revenue decreased by $1,774,156 for the year. While State Appropriations, Grants and Contracts, and Investment Income increased by $444,785, Gifts decreased by $258,672 and Other Non-operating revenues decreased by $250,254.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $572,444 and primarily affected the Instruction and Institutional Support categories. The increase reflects an increase in staff positions, merit increases, and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $19,402 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with increased electricity and water costs that were experienced over the entire fiscal year.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by 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.

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.

EAST GEORGIA COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, East Georgia College is reporting the activity for the East Georgia College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
Inventories Consumable supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. East Georgia College does not maintain any 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 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 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to East Georgia College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve lab kits for on-line Chemistry courses and deposits from outside organizations who will utilize college facilities after June 30, 2007.
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $268,036 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $202,223 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $153,594, for a net increase of $48,629. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $316,665.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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.

$23,036 748,522

$2,101

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:

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

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.

Note 10. Lease Obligations

East Georgia College is obligated under various operating leases for the use of real property (land, buildings, and office facilities) and equipment, and also is obligated under capital leases and installment purchase agreements for the acquisition of real property.

CAPITAL LEASES

Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between 2008 and 2011. Expenditures for fiscal year 2007 were $52,484 of which $15,033 represented interest. Total principal paid on capital leases was $37,451 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Interest rates range from 5.50 percent to 11.91 percent. The following is a summary of the carrying values of assets held under capital lease at June 30, 2007:

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

Equipment Total Assets Held Under Capital Lease

$172,451 $172,451

Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.

OPERATING LEASES

East Georgia College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2010. 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 cancellable 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 2004, East Georgia College entered into a real property operating lease with Statesboro Partners, Inc. for office space for faculty and staff at the Statesboro instructional site located near the Georgia Southern University campus. In FY2007, the annual lease payment was $39,600 and the annual lease payment has increased by $1,200 each year since the first year; East Georgia College's FY2007 expense for rental of real property under operating leases was $39,730.

Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description East 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of East Georgia College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. East 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

Required Contribution

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$267,303 $302,018 $231,234

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description East Georgia College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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

East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $34,583.

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $102,596 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $57,605 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 2007 amounted to $10,538 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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. 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.
East Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 30 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, East Georgia College recognized as incurred $151,343 of expenditures, which was net of $54,337 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

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 forty-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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $42,838 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 Fiscal Affairs at 131 College Circle, Swainsboro, GA 30401.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Fort Valley State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 $3,992,391. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $2,916,608 in the category of Capital Assets, net.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($564,149). The combination of the increase in total assets of $3,992,391 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($564,149) yields an increase in total net assets of $4,556,540. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $2,916,608.

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 $3,852,055 in fiscal 2007. Tuition & Fees included a 4% increase and revenues increased in Grants and Contracts, Auxiliary and Other categories.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $2,195,396 is a result of the changing environment of residential life on the University's campus. During the year, residential life constructed over 950 beds of new housing on the campus using the Fort Valley State University Foundation in a construction and leasing relationship. The net effect to the campus is that the students actually have more on-campus residential life availability. The housing complex rental agreement commences August 1, 2007 and will be treated as a capital lease.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $3,123,641 for the year; however, there was an increase of $3,913,056 in State Appropriations partially offset by a decrease in Gifts.

The compensation and employee benefits category decreased by ($308,789) and primarily affected the Instruction, Research, Public Service and Plant Operations and Maintenance categories.

Utilities increased by $27,736 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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.

For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Fort Valley State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. The Fort Valley State University Foundation, Inc. had investments of $5.8 million as of June 30, 2007. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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.

FORT VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Fort Valley State University serves the state, national and international 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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Fort Valley State University is reporting the activity for the Fort Valley State University Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 grants 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 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $2,353,968 to Fort Valley State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $1,822,070 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $559,936 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $652,299, for a net decrease of ($92,363). The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,729,707.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Federal Loans Quasi-Endowm ent s T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

June 30, 2007
$2,042,681 42,086
$2,084,767

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 Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$25,902 988,160 (3,151,552) ($2,137,490)

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 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: 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

Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. Restatement of Prior Year Net Assets Fort Valley State University has a restatement of prior year net assets increasing beginning net assets by $2,484,508. This is due to removing capital assets that were disposed in prior years as well as adjusting the useful lives of certain buildings to reflect the University's accounting policy.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $183,912 and the bank balance was $1,816,343. Of the University's deposits, $1,544,160 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $1,544,160 were uncollateralized.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

B. Investments At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the University's investments was $43,629, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents investment pools as follows:

Investment Pools Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund

$43,629

T otal Investment Pools

$43,629

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Fort Valley 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Fort Valley State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Fort Valley 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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

Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Fort Valley State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $398,015 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $223,523 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $43,940 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Fort Valley State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 204 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Fort Valley State University recognized as incurred $841,605 of expenditures, which was net of $269,744 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Fort Valley State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Fort Valley 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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $1,179,871 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 1005 State University Drive, Fort Valley, GA 31030 or from the Foundation's website at www.FVSU.edu.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia College & State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 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 increased by $97,352,914. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $97,547,374 in the
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is primarily in the Short-term investments category. Of significance to the Statement of Net Assets is the decrease of ($1,120,513) in the Investments category. This decrease is attributed to the transfer of $1,837,376 endowment funds to the Georgia College & State University Foundation (GCSU Foundation).

The total liabilities for the year increased by $102,670,126. The combination of the increase in total assets of $97,352,914 and the increase in total liabilities of $102,670,126 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($5,317,212). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of Unrestricted Net Assets in the amount of ($3,520,577).

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 $4,467,794 in fiscal 2007. Although Tuition & Fees included an 8% increase, revenues also increased in Grants and Contracts, Auxiliary and Other categories with a decrease in Sales and Services.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $933,959 is a result of the changing environment of residential life on the University's campus. The Freshmen residency requirement is in place; thereby, producing related increases in Residence Halls, Food Service and Vending Operation. In addition, since there are increasing numbers of students at the Milledgeville campus, mandatory fees for Parking/Transportation, Health Services and Athletics have significantly increased. Also, the Bookstore has realized an almost 4% increase in sales revenue. Of significance for Auxiliaries are the Capital Leases that were entered into with GCSU Foundation for the student residential facilities and the Irwin Street Parking Facility.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses decreased by ($3,913,773) for the year primarily due to a decrease of ($240,651) in State Appropriations, a decrease of Gifts for GSFIC transfers of ($2,455,799) due to no major assets being transferred and an increase of $521,513 for interest expense for Capital Leases.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $2,901,216 and primarily affected the Academic Support, Student Services, Institutional Support and Auxiliary Enterprises categories. The increase reflects the addition of positions in these areas, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities decreased by ($519,625) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with the decreased cost of heating due to a mild winter of fiscal year 2007 and increased energy conservation. These affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

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, Georgia College & State University has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. The Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. had investments of $13.4 million and long-term debt of $112.1 million in the form of two bond issues and a note payable as of June 30, 2007. Georgia College & State University Alumni Association, Inc. had investments of $5.8 million. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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 realized a decrease in Net Assets due to the Capital Leases discussed earlier. The University anticipates the current fiscal year will be positive and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations 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 Georgia College & State University is one of thirty-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Georgia College & State University is reporting the activity for the Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. and the Georgia College & State University Alumni Association, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Georgia College & State University does not maintain an inventory for consumable supplies. 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $513,179 to Georgia College & State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall. In Fiscal Year 2004, the University implemented an application
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

confirmation deposit. The confirmation deposits are credited to student accounts for tuition and fees at registration.
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 compensated absences 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 $2,108,730 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $1,590,968 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,537,721, for a net increase of $53,247. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,161,977.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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 & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Rest rict ed - E& G and Ot her Organized Act ivit ies Federal Loans Inst it ut ional Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

June 30, 2007
$510,104 3,563,499
877,771 $4,951,374

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 Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$2,126,611 6,687,740 (9,761,697) ($947,346)

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.

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.

Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change. Auxiliary Intercollegiate Athletics revenue of $2,045,884 is net of fee waivers of $464,277. Auxiliary Scholarships were $543,145 for fiscal year 2007.
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered.

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:

2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

During fiscal year 2007, all Georgia College & State University endowment funds with the exception of Gilbert, which is held and managed by the Board of Regents, were transferred to the Georgia College & State University Foundation.

The following information represents the investment policy followed during the period of fiscal year 2007 that the University held and managed these certain endowment funds.

Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. During fiscal year 2007, the University held and invested certain endowment funds. The University's policy for managing interest rate risk is:
1. The excess cash balances available should be invested for maximum earned income consistent with acceptable risk levels.
2. The amount of cash available and the length of time it may be held in investment are the principal factors in determining such investment.
3. Fixed income investments shall be limited to government agency, and corporate instruments having minimum investment grade credit ratings of Baa by Moody's and/or Standard & Poor's.
4. The minimum fixed income target shall be defined and communicated to the investment manager in the form of an Asset Allocation Guideline. The fixed income target may be altered by providing a newly executed Asset Allocation guideline to the investment manager.
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Total Return Fund is 9.35 years. Of the University's total investment of $ 1,914,973 in the Total Return Fund, $543,661 is invested in debt securities.
Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the university will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The University's policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments is:
1. The investment manager's performance shall be compared regularly with the performance of the appropriate equity or fixed income market indices.
2. The investment manager shall be responsible for custody of all securities. If the investment manager does not generally offer custodial services, the Vice President for Business and Finance and the Assistant Vice President for Financial Services/Comptroller shall have joint custodial responsibility.
3. All transactions shall be entered into on the basis of best execution, which means the best realized net price.
4. The investment manager shall be available for frequent and open communication with the Vice President for Business and Finance and the Assistant Vice President for Financial Services/comptroller of the institution concerning all significant matters pertaining to the portfolio.
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

5. In the management of the portfolio, should a loss of $5,000 or more on any security transaction be contemplated, the investment manager shall contact the Vice President for business & Finance and the Assistance Vice President for financial Services/Comptroller for approval to execute a response regarding requests for approval within three (3) working days.
6. The investment manager will provide reports on the investment portfolio to the institution at least quarterly.
At June 30, 2007, $1,247,987 of the University's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty's trust department or agent, but not in the University's name.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University's policy for managing credit quality risk is:
1. Equity management will be expected to achieve at least average total rates of return, net of fees, over rolling five (5) year periods that equal or exceed the rates of return of the applicable indices.
2. Fixed income management will be expected to achieve at least average total rates of return, net of fees, over rolling five (5) year periods that equal or exceed the Shearson Lehman Government Corporate Bond Index.
As of June 30, 2007, none of the University's investments in debt securities were subject to Credit Quality Risk disclosure.
Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The university's investments are not exposed to concentration of credit risk; therefore, the university does not have a formal policy for managing concentration of credit risk.
The university does not have holdings of investments in any one issuer in concentrations of greater than 5% of total investments held.
Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment or a deposit. The University does not have a formal policy for managing exposure to foreign currency risk.
Of the University's total investments, $ 144,622, or 3.74% is invested in an International equity mutual fund. Foreign currency risk associated with this investment is considered minimal.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was zero.

CAPITAL LEASES

Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between 2008 and 2034. Expenditures for fiscal year 2007 were $1,086,860 of which $338,053 represented interest. Total principal paid on capital leases was $748,807 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, $383,970 of which relates to a correction of previous years' accounting treatment on two of the leases as operating. Interest rates range from 4.10 percent to 8.30 percent. The following is a summary of the carrying values of assets held under capital lease at June 30, 2007:

Land Buildings & Facilities Equipment Total Assets Held Under Capital Lease

$373,659 97,362,912
521,784 $98,258,355

Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.

Georgia College & State University had three capital leases with related entities in the current fiscal year. In June 2007, Georgia College & State University entered into a capital lease of $94,350,650 at 4.715 percent with GCSU Foundation, a discretely presented component unit, whereby the University leases Student Housing for a twenty-seven year period that began June 15, 2007 and expires March 25, 2034. In February 2005, the University entered into a capital lease of $6,382,006 at 4.1 percent with GCSU Foundation, whereby the University leases land and a building for a twenty-one year period that began February 1, 2005 and expires June 30, 2025. In addition, Georgia College & State University entered into a capital lease of $1,595,163 at 4.1 percent with GCSU Foundation, whereby the University leases a Parking facility for a twenty-one year period that began September 1, 2004 and expires June 30, 2025. The outstanding liability at June 30, 2007 on these capital leases is $94,350,650 for Student Housing; $5,874,100 for the Student Center and $1,449,453 for the Parking facility.

Georgia College & State University also has various capital leases for equipment with third parties with an outstanding balance at June 30, 2007 in the amount of $388,124. These leases expire in fiscal years from 2008 through 2011.

OPERATING LEASES

Georgia College & State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2031. 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 cancellable 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 fiscal year 2007, Georgia College & State University entered into a real property operating lease with GCSU Foundation, a related party, for the Macon Graduate and Professional Programs from November 26, 2006 through November 26, 2009 for annual rentals of $238,831. The agreement does contain an option to renew or extend the Agreement at the expiration of the term on a year to year basis for three (3) consecutive years. Under this agreement, Georgia College & State University paid $141,972 in the current year.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

100% 100% 100%

$1,991,790 $1,862,778 $1,752,523

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia College & State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $90,320. The University's total payroll for all employees was $38,122,509.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $10,757, of which $9,402 was made by the University and $1,355 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $1,129,875 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $632,792 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 30

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 2007 amounted to $47,962 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 31

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 13. 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.
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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 253 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Georgia College & State University recognized as incurred $926,071 of expenditures, which was net of $290,102 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units
Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, taxexempt component unit of Georgia College & 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 thirty eight-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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $1,156,729 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at Campus Box 96, 100 E. Greene Street, Suite 200, Milledgeville, GA 31061.
Prior Period Adjustment
In prior years, the Foundation recognized a lease as an operating lease instead of a direct financing lease. During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation retroactively changed its method of accounting to record this lease as a direct financing lease, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This change had the effect of decreasing the beginning balance in unrestricted net assets by ($265,817).
Investments for Component Units:
Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $13.4 million. The $10.2 million corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc., in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 5% of the calendar year-end market value of the investment based on a rolling 3 year average can be spent. 95% is to be spent based on donor intent and 5% is to be spent as an administrative fee.

In connection with the 2007 series bonds, the Foundation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to convert its variable rate bond obligation to fixed rates. The resulting cost of funds is lower than it would have been had fixed rate borrowings been issued directly. The level of fixed rate debt resulting from the effective interest rate swap is 100% of the total bond debt of the 2007 series. A liability from interest rate swap transactions of $644,572 has been recorded as of June 30, 2007 and is reported as Other Current Liabilities on the Statement of Net Assets. The amount was recorded based on calculated mathematical approximations of market values using certain assumptions regarding past, present, and future market conditions.

that are available to the University in support of its programs. The thirty eight-member board of the Alumni Association 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 Alumni Association, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Alumni Association holds and invests is restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Alumni Association can only be used by, or for the benefit of the University, the Alumni Association is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University's financial statements.

The Alumni Association 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Alumni Association's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Alumni Association distributed $157,645 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Georgia Highlands College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 Highlands 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.

Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

29,758,419 26,612 75,311 38,590
153,693 $30,052,625

The total assets of the institution increased by $5,054,031. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $3,621,231 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $741,897. The combination of the increase in total assets of $5,054,031 and the increase in total liabilities of $741,897 yields an increase in total net assets of $4,312,134. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $3,621,231.

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 decreased by ($1,496,628) in fiscal 2007. Revenues decreased in Grants and Contracts and Auxiliary categories.
The Auxiliary revenue decrease of ($674,633) is primarily due to the sale of the bookstore to Barnes & Noble during the prior year. Fiscal year 2007 is the first full year reflecting this

impact. In addition, food services were terminated during 2007 leaving primarily a vending operation.

Nonoperating revenues decreased by ($149,160) for the fiscal year. An increase of $862,269 in State Appropriations was offset by the effect of a gift in 2006 that was not repeated.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $473,142. In addition to rate increases in salaries, benefits, etc., this increase also reflects the growth and expansion of the College.

Supplies and Other services decreased by ($2,114,756) largely due to prior year expenses related to the establishment of the Cartersville Campus.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by Georgia Highlands 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 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.

GEORGIA HIGHLANDS COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Highlands 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 Highlands College is one of thirty-five (35) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the College System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia Highlands College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the College 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 Highlands College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Highlands College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the College 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 College System of Georgia (and thus Georgia Highlands College) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Georgia Highlands College is reporting the activity for the Georgia Highlands College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 11

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 College 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

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.
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. No inventories were held on June 30, 2007.
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. There were no noncurrent cash and investments as of June 30, 2007.
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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the College 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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Georgia Highlands College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall. There were no deposits as of June 30, 2007.
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 compensated absences 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 Highlands College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $592,295 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $446,673 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $384,874, for a net increase of $61,799. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $654,094.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$50,011 $50,011

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 College System of Georgia, College 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.

June 30, 2007
$102,488 972,361 (166,363)
$908,486

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 Highlands 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.

Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the College were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change. Restatement of Prior Year Net Assets Georgia Highlands College has a restatement of prior year net assets increasing beginning net assets by $2,500,000. This is due to the donation of land for the Cartersville campus that was not reported in the prior year.
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered.

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:

Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

Investment Pools Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund
T otal Investment Pools

$28,365 $28,365

Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the College System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.
Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. College does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk.
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Balanced Income Fund is 9.35 years. Of the College's total investment of $ 28,365 in the Balanced Income Fund, $17,121 is invested in debt securities.

Note 9. Significant Commitments

Georgia Highlands College had no significant commitments as of June 30, 2007.

Note 10. Lease Obligations

Georgia Highlands College is obligated under various operating leases for the use of real property (land, buildings, and office facilities) and equipment.
OPERATING LEASES

Georgia Highlands College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in fiscal year 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 cancellable 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, and leasing of parking lot space.

Future commitments for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia Highlands 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia Highlands College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia Highlands 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 Highlands College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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

Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

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 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $75,412. The College's total payroll for all employees was $11,987,852.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $8,982, of which $7,850 was made by the College and $1,132 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2007 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 College 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 Highlands 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Georgia Highlands College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $282,675 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $150,071 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Highlands 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
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500 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 2007 amounted to $70,237 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. Risk Management
The College 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 Highlands 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 College System of Georgia College System Office. All units of the College 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 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 College 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 Highlands College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the College 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
Georgia Highlands College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 College 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 13. 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 Highlands College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Highlands College (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the College 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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 College System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the College System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the College 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 College 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 College 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, 2007, 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, 2007, Georgia Highlands College recognized as incurred $413,352 of expenditures, which was net of $166,700 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Georgia Highlands College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia Highlands 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 Foundation board 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $305,961 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 3175 Cedartown Highway S.E., Rome, GA 30162.

GAINESVILLE STATE COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
Gainesville State College is one of the 35 institutions of higher education of the University System of Georgia. The College, located south of Gainesville, Georgia, was founded in 1964 and has been recognized as one of the premier two-year colleges in the state. Specializing in a strong core curriculum and quality support services, the College initially offered Associates of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science degrees. Beginning in the fall of 2006, the College, under its new designation as a State College, offered a limited number of four year baccalaureate degrees. With a second campus south of Athens, Georgia, 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 almost 7,000 students. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparative data that follows.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Gainesville State College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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 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

Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.

22,111,230 10,723
462,704 4,910,175 $27,494,832

The total assets of the institution increased by $1,424,709. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $179,654 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and inventory categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $436,141. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,424,709 and the increase in total liabilities of $436,141 yields an increase in total net assets of $988,568. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Unrestricted Net Assets in the amount of $1,282,341.

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.

Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating revenues increased by $2,975,461 in fiscal 2007. This reflects a 21% increase in Tuition & Fees as well as increased revenues in Grants and Contracts, Auxiliary and Other categories.

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $318,398 is a result of increased enrollment for Gainesville State College. Future plans include an expanded bookstore to accommodate the increase in student enrollment and increased activity for Auxiliary services.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $2,262,174 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,824,032 in State Appropriations and an increase in investment income of $414,828.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,013,435 and primarily affected the Instruction category. The increase reflects the addition of faculty and staff members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities decreased by ($24,232) during the past year. The decrease was associated with the installation of a more efficient and centrally controlled energy management system as well as the implementation of Voice over IP for telecommunications.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by Gainesville 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.

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. With the highest enrollment increase within the University System of Georgia, the College was able to generate a significant 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.

GAINESVILLE STATE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Gainesville 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 Gainesville State College is one of thirty-five (35) 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 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. Gainesville State College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Gainesville 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 Gainesville State College) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Gainesville State College is reporting the activity for Gainesville State College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to Gainesville State 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.
Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 compensated absences 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 State College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $$675,590 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $$620,291 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $$487,796, for a net increase of $132,495. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $$808,085.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Gainesville State College has no nonexpendable restricted net assets as of June 30, 2007.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Gainesville State College has no expendable restricted net assets as of June 30, 2007.
Restricted net assets expendable Capital Projects: Gainesville State College has no expendable restricted net assets capital projects as of June 30, 2007.
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.
Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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

R & R Reserve Reserve for Encumbrances Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$18,050 3,495,968 2,678,498 $6,192,516

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 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.

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 non-operating 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 scholarship allowances.

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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:

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable

Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Gainesville 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Gainesville State College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $345,514 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $194,907 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Gainesville 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 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 2007 amounted to $88,674 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 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 13. 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
Gainesville State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

grantor cannot be determined at this time although Gainesville State College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position. Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Gainesville 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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 103 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Gainesville State College recognized as incurred $391,312 of expenditures, which was net of $197,895 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Gainesville State College Foundation, Inc. is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Gainesville State 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 sevenmember 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. 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 to December 31.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Foundation distributed $479,068 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 3820 Mundy Mill Road, Oakwood, GA.

Investments for Component Units:

Gainesville State College Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $11.8 million. Investment income has been reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets unless the donor placed restrictions on the income's use. If the income is restricted, it is reported as an increase in restricted expendable or restricted nonexpendable net assets, depending on the nature of the restrictions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Georgia Perimeter College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $13,633,583. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $7,721,337 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $3,434,730. The combination of the increase in total assets of $13,633,583 and the increase in total liabilities of $3,434,730 yields an increase in total net assets of $10,198,853. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $7,721,337.

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

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 $8,541,969 in fiscal 2007. Although Tuition & Fees included an 8% increase, revenues decreased in Sales and Services, Food Services and other categories.

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Nonoperating revenues increased by $4,076,998 for the year primarily due to an increase of $2,010,285 in State Appropriations as well as increases in Gift, Investment and Other revenues.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,196,330 and primarily affected the Instruction and Institutional Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of recruitment staff, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
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 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 one significant capital asset addition for facilities in fiscal year 2007. Construction of the College Center on the Clarkston campus was completed and placed into service early in calendar year 2007.
Georgia Perimeter College also completed renovations to the Theatre/Multi Purpose Room of the Fine Arts building as well as to the Learning Resources Center on the Dunwoody Campus. The $4.7 million for these projects were funded by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC). Other ongoing renovations funded by the GSFIC included $2.9 million

for an electrical system upgrade on the Clarkston Campus. Projected funding by GSFIC for FY2008 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.
Long Term Debt and Liabilities
Georgia Perimeter College had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $3,263,009 of which $1,620,717 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Georgia Perimeter College has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. Georgia Perimeter College Foundation, Inc. had investments of $992,993 as of December 31, 2006, and long-term debt of $25.2 million. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The College has responded to the increasing higher education needs of the Newton and Rockdale County areas by establishing a Newton Campus which opened June 4, 2007. The College has closed the Rockdale Center as the enrollment had outgrown the facilities available.
The University System administration is working closely with Georgia Perimeter College on the transition of students, administrative operations and the financial resources to the Georgia Gwinnett College. Georgia Perimeter College will be completely phased out of Georgia Gwinnett College's operations by fiscal year 2009.
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.
Dr. Anthony S. Tricoli, President Georgia Perimeter College

GEORGIA PERIMETER COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Georgia Perimeter College is reporting the activity for the Georgia Perimeter College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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, otherwise known as the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP).
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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.
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.
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the College 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, 2002, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on their books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to Georgia Perimeter College when complete. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred $4,022,846 in capital additions to Georgia Perimeter 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 compensated absences 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 $3,016,608 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $3,565,252 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $3,318,851, for a net decrease of
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

$246,401. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $3,263,009.

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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.

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

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$90,118 6,818,182
175,369 3,234,192 $10,317,861

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.

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College, and the amount that is paid by

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $14,006,346 and the bank balance was $17,126,060. Of the College's deposits, $17,006,213 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $17,006,213 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the College's name.
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

B. Investments At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the College's investments was $2,975,437, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services investment pools as follows:

Investment Pools Office of T reasury and Fiscal Services Georgia Fund 1

$2,975,437

T otal Investment Pools

$2,975,437

The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia Perimeter 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia Perimeter College who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia Perimeter 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 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

Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Georgia Perimeter College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,537,231 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $866,518 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $687,744 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.

Note 12. 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 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 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 13. 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.
Georgia Perimeter College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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 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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 263 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Georgia Perimeter College recognized as incurred $1,245,603 of expenditures, which was net of $377,023 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units
Georgia Perimeter College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia Perimeter College (College). The Foundation is a nonprofit entity comprised of a volunteer group entrusted with the oversight for private fund raising to benefit Georgia Perimeter College. The Foundation provides volunteer leadership to the college's development and fund raising programs. In addition, the board monitors the administration of the assets of the Foundation, resulting in a broadening of opportunities for learning by students and a continued investment in faculty and staff. The Foundation acts primarily as a fund-raising organization to supplement the resources that are available to the College in support of its programs. 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 has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 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. 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, 2006, the Foundation distributed $609,179 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 3251 Panthersville Rd, Decatur, GA 30034.
Investments for Component Units:
Georgia Perimeter College Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $992,993. Investments are comprised of the following amounts at December 31, 2006:

Long-term Liabilities for Component Units:

On December 29, 2005, the Newton County Industrial Revenue Authority effected a revenue bond issue "Series 2005" in the amount of $22,695,000. These proceeds will fund the building project, which is expected to be completed by July 1, 2007. Rental payments from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia will be used to amortize this bonded indebtedness. The repayment of this debt is due in annual installments ranging from $430,000 to $1,400,000 through 2035 at 4.6% per annum.

An additional bond issuance (Series 2005) was also effected on December 29, 2005 for the same purpose as the aforementioned issuance. The amount of this issuance was $2,550,000. This bond issuance was transacted separately because of different security (secured by Newton County through an intergovernmental contract). This was packaged as a single bond that was sold directly to Wachovia Bank. Consequently, the amortization of this issuance is similar to a conventional loan as opposed to a standard bond issue. The repayment of this debt is due in monthly installments of $20,472 through January, 2021 at 5.15% per annum.

The Foundation's LLC received a gift of real estate during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. The gift, a tract/parcel of land in Newton County, Georgia, was donated by Mt. Pleasant, LLC for the purpose of the construction of the new Georgia Perimeter College campus in Newton County. The land has been capitalized on the Foundation's books and is included in the asset section of the Statement of Net Assets.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

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.

Capital Assets
There were no major changes in capital funding in 2007. In fiscal year 2006, the State Legislature approved funding for the Science Teaching Laboratory Building, and this remains the University's top capital priority. The 213,000 gross square foot building is projected to cost
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 5

a total of $77 million. The University will receive State funding of $40.2 million and the remainder is to be funded through non-state sources. Additionally, the Board of Regents, in Spring 2005, added our proposal for a 330,000 square foot Humanities Building to its Major Capital Funding List. Of the total $77.5 million estimated cost to construct the building, the University has requested $57.5 million, and the remainder is to be funded through non-state sources. The only new item of funding the University received in Fiscal Year 2007 was a minor capital project of approximately $4.8 million to renovate the roof and the exhaust stacks on the Natural Science Center Building.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Long Term Debt and Liabilities
Georgia State University had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $54,873,199 of which $9,325,499 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, 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 FY2007. The Georgia State University Foundation, Inc. had endowment and other investments of $130.7 million, bonds payable of $250.7 million and long term capital leases of $9.7 million as of June 30, 2007. The Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc. had endowment and other investments of $4.5 million and no long-term debt. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, 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 and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues.

GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Georgia State University is reporting the activity for the Georgia State University Foundation, Inc. and the Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies and 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Georgia State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $10,412,996 as of July 1, 2006. For FY2007, $8,046,619 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $7,493,191, for a net increase of $553,428. The ending balance as of June 30, 2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $10,966,424.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$10,976,247

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.

$18,027,348 28,553,041 114,540 55,965,778
$102,660,707

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.
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:

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Certain discounts to tuition and fees are granted by the University in order to reflect revenue at the University's published rate structure. In prior year financial statements, these discounts were reported within the Scholarship Allowances line item. In fiscal 2007, it was determined that these types of discounts are more properly reported within the Tuition and Fees category, consistent with the NACUBO Advisory Report 2000-5: "Accounting and Reporting Scholarship Discounts and Allowances to Tuition and Other Fee Revenues by Public Institutions of Higher Education". Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change in revenue.

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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.

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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.
Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University's policy for managing interest rate risk is to comply with University policy and applicable Federal and State laws. The University's policy for managing interest rate risk for Endowment Funds is that the average maturity of the fixed income portfolio shall not exceed ten years and for Operating Funds the average maturity of the fixed income portfolio shall not exceed two years.
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Total Return Fund is 9.35 years. Of the University's total investment of $52,030 in the Total Return Fund, $14,771 is invested in debt securities.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $295,471.

Note 9. Significant Commitments

The University had significant unearned, outstanding, construction or renovation contracts executed in the amount of $24,875,771 as of June 30, 2007. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying basic financial statements.

In May 2007, Georgia State University entered into a lease agreement with Panther Place, LLC, for a complex of buildings collectively known as "25 Park Place". The lease agreement commences the day after the lease agreement between Panther Place, LLC, and SunTrust Bank has been terminated but no later than May 31, 2012. After the termination of the SunTrust lease and the University's lease has commenced, the University will have the exclusive right, privilege, and option of renewing or extending the agreement at the expiration of the initial one year term on a year-to-year basis for consecutive one-year periods until June 30, 2037.

Note 10. Lease Obligations
Georgia State University is obligated under various operating leases for the use of real property (land, buildings, and office facilities) and equipment, and also is obligated under capital leases and installment purchase agreements for the acquisition of real property.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

Capital Leases Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between 2008 and 2022. Expenditures for fiscal year 2007 were $5.8 million of which $3.1 million represented interest. Total principal paid on capital leases was $2.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Interest rates range up to 12 percent. The following is a summary of the carrying values of assets held under capital lease at June 30, 2007:

Infrastructure Buildings Equipment Total Assets Held Under Capital Lease

$3,000,058 44,419,936
1,166,646 $48,586,640

Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.
Georgia State University has two capital leases associated with buildings. In July 2001, Georgia State University entered into a capital lease valued at $34,650,000 with an effective interest rate of 6.985 percent with the Georgia State University Foundation (Foundation), whereby the University leases the Student Recreation Center for a twenty-year period that began July 2001 and expires June 2021. In March 2000, the University entered into a capital lease valued at $14,038,328 with an effective interest rate of 6.985 percent with the Foundation, whereby the University leases the Alpharetta Center for a twenty-year period that began March 2000 and expires February 2020. The outstanding principal liability at June 30, 2007 on these capital leases is $28,711,360 and $10,946,828 respectively. Each year the monthly payments for both of these leases will increase by the greater of 2 percent or the CPI. Georgia State University had no new capital building leases with related entities in the current fiscal year.
Georgia State University also has various capital leases for equipment and software with an outstanding balance at June 30, 2007 in the amount of $4,248,587.
Operating Leases Georgia State University's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2015. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options for periods from one to four years at their fair rental value at the time of renewal. All agreements are cancellable 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 addition to existing building office space leases from fiscal year 2006, in fiscal year 2007, Georgia State University entered into an operating lease agreement with Asian Realty Partners III, LP for Tower Place at 3348 Peachtree Road in Atlanta.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $943,051. The University's total payroll for all employees was $225,606,553.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $115,317, of which $100,794 was made by the University and $14,523 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $7,286,675 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $4,067,417 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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 2007 amounted to $503,479 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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 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 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.
Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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 13. 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 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 696 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Georgia State University recognized as incurred $4,401,257 of expenditures, which was net of $1,697,964 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units
Georgia State University Foundation, Inc. Georgia State University Foundation, Inc. (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 37-member board of the Foundation, of which 6 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 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. The fiscal year of the Foundation is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $12,158,055 to the University. A copy of the annual audited financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from James F. Winters, III, Controller, Georgia State University Foundation, P.O. Box 3963, Atlanta, GA 30302-3963 or in person at One Park Place South, Atlanta, GA.
Prior Period Adjustment:
Beginning Net Assets for fiscal 2007 were adjusted for a prior period adjustment of ($4,169,656), representing fiscal year 2006 interest earned on the proceeds from tax-exempt bonds. This amount was recorded as interest income; however, should have been netted against the capitalized interest expense in accordance with FASB Statement Number 62. The restatement resulted in the interest income, property and equipment, and net asset account balances for 2006 to be reduced by $4,169,656.
Investments for Component Units:
Georgia State University Foundation holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $130.7 million. The Foundation determines the spendable amounts for endowment funds using a total return formula and makes no spending allocations to restricted funds from the operating portfolio. Income from the operating portfolio is used to fund the Foundation's administrative activities pursuant to an unrestricted 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.

Capital Lease Obligations
Alpharetta Campus Facilities Capital Lease On September 23, 1998, $10,600,000 of revenue bonds were issued by the Development Authority of Alpharetta, Georgia (the ""Authority"") for the purpose of financing the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing educational facilities located in the City of Alpharetta and are 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 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. The lease liability at June 30, 2007 was $6,433,675.
Rialto Center Facilities Capital Lease During 1994, the Foundation purchased and has since renovated facilities currently occupied by the University's School of Music. The project is being financed through contributions to the Foundation and through bonds issued by the Downtown Development Authority of the City of Atlanta (the "Authority"). 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 in turn leases the facilities to the University through a series of one year 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 extension of the term of the lease through November 1, 2015. Pursuant to this transaction, the Foundation also formed Rialto

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 33

Center, LLC, a single member LLC with the Foundation as the sole member, for the purpose of holding the related capital lease. The lease liability at June 30, 2007 was $3,288,781.

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. The Foundation leases the facilities to the Board of Regents for the use of the University.

Georgia State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 35

Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc. Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc. (Research Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Georgia State University (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 self-perpetuating 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 is considered a special-purpose government entity engaged only in business-type activities and is required to follow all applicable GASB pronouncements. The Research Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

Complete financial statements for the Research Foundation can be obtained from the office of the Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc., Alumni Hall, 30 Courtland Street, Suite 219, Atlanta, GA 30303.

GORDON COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
Gordon College is one of the 35 institutions of higher education of the University System of Georgia. The College, located in Barnesville, Georgia, was founded in 1852 and has become known for its quality instructional programs. The College began as a military college and after several transformations joined the USG in 1972 as an associate level institution with a distinctive legacy of excellence in scholarship and service. Gordon College was considered a two-year residential college from 1972 until May 2006 when the Board of Regents approved a change in the College's mission to become a State College. With this change, Gordon College can now offer bachelor's degrees, the first of which is in Early Childhood Education and will begin Fall 2007. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Gordon College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

29,561,576 13,053
4,631,778 $34,206,407

The total assets of the institution increased by $14,783,554. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $13,846,624 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash, receivables and prepaid categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $15,994,850. The combination of the increase in total assets of $14,783,554 and the increase in total liabilities of $15,994,850 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($1,211,296). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of ($2,152,682).

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 the recognition of interest expense related to the capitalization of the Gordon Commons lease and the disposal of assets that were capitalized and did not meet the University System's policy for capitalization. Some highlights of the information presented on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets are as follows:

Operating revenues increased by $112,014 in fiscal 2007. Although Tuition & Fees included an 8% increase, revenues decreased in Auxiliary and Other categories.

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue decrease of ($69,975) is a result of the changing environment of residential life on the College's campus. During June 2007 Gordon College did not offer housing to students as had been offered in prior years.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $185,846 for the year primarily due to an increase of $518,532 in State Appropriations.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,139,464. The increase reflects the addition of staff and faculty, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities decreased by ($197,649) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with better negotiated utilities contracts with the City of Barnesville.
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.

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, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Gordon College is reporting the activity for Gordon College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
Inventories Consumable supplies and Resale Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on 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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Gordon College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $358,384 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $396,148 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $346,888, for a net increase of $49,260. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $407,644.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Federal Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

June 30, 2007
$13,053 $13,053

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$2,877,649 1,470,400 26,496 1,198,619
$5,573,164

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

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank,
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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.

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.

At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $1,312,493 and the bank balance was $1,365,014. Of the College's deposits, $1,265,014 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $1,265,014 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the College's name.

B. Investments At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the College's investments was $5,096,680, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents Investment Pool as follows:

Investment Pools Short-T erm Fund

$5,096,680

T otal Investment Pools

$5,096,680

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.
Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The College does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk
The Weighted Average Maturity of the Short Term Fund is 2.24 years. Of the College's total investment of $5,096,680 in the Short Term Fund, $5,077,312 is invested in debt securities.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The College does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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 does not have an allowance for uncollectible loans.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

100% 100% 100%

$642,393 $543,411 $472,048

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description Gordon College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a costsharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions

Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $113,005. The College's total payroll for all employees was $11,373,592.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $13,532, of which $11,837 was made by the College and $1,695 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $311,981 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $175,134 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 2007 amounted to $32,274 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
Gordon College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 33 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Gordon College recognized as incurred $133,452 of expenditures, which was net of $56,244 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Gordon College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Gordon 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 fortyfour 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. 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, 2006, the Foundation distributed $53,520 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 419 College Drive, Barnesville, GA 30204.

On August 1, 2004, the Barnesville-Lamar County Industrial Development Authority (the "Authority") issued certain bonds totaling $16,135,000. Proceeds on the sale of the bonds were loaned to Gordon College Properties Foundations, LLC whose sole member is Gordon College Foundation, Inc. Proceeds of the Series 2004 Bonds were used by Gordon College Properties, LLC to finance or reimburse, in whole or in part, the cost of the construction and equipping of a new student housing complex containing approximately 459 beds, including related parking for approximately 597 vehicles and road and pedestrian walkway improvements (the Project) located on the campus of Gordon College, a unit of the University System of Georgia; fund capitalized interest on the Series 2004 Bonds; fund a debt service reserve fund for the Series 2004 bonds; and pay costs of issuance of the Series 2004 Bonds. The real property upon which the Project is located is owned by the Board of Regents of the University System and will be leased by the Board of Regents to the Properties, LLC pursuant to a Ground Lease. Pursuant to a Rental Agreement, the Properties, LLC will rent the projects, on an annually renewable basis, to the Board of Regents for use by the College. The Board of Regents will make monthly fixed rental payments for the use and occupancy of the Project, in amounts that the Properties, LLC estimates will be sufficient to pay, among other things, debt service on the Series 2004 Bonds.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Georgia Southern University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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-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.

Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

31,418,696 $240,789,433

The total assets of the institution increased by $49,475,697. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $48,955,915 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash and inventories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $41,254,141. The combination of the increase in total assets of $49,475,697 and the increase in total liabilities of $41,254,141 yields an increase in total net assets of $8,221,556. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $9,306,780.

Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

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 $7,217,923 in fiscal 2007. Tuition & Fees included a 6% increase, with additional revenue increases in Grants and Contracts, Auxiliary and Other categories.
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $2,556,669 is a result of the changing environment of residential and general student life on the University's campus. Analysis indicates that students who live on campus and/or become involved in the campus community perform better academically. Institution wide focus on enrollment management has resulted in more students living on campus as well as off-campus students spending more of their out of classroom time on campus. A direct result of these efforts has been increases in student retention rates. Additionally, a by-product of increased activity has resulted in increased sales at campus shops and food service facilities. Housing revenues increased due to the opening of a new 776 bed living-learning housing complex in the fall of 2006. The facility was constructed by the GSU Housing Foundation and is operated by the University under a capital lease agreement.
Nonoperating revenues increased by $9,212,203 for the year primarily due to an increase of $6,791,503 in State Appropriations.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $9,299,229 and primarily affected the Instruction, Academic Support and Student Services categories. The increase reflects merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $873,062 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with utility company rate increases due to increases in fuel costs. Utility cost increases affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by 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.

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 minimal funding this year, the University was able to generate an 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, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Georgia Southern University is reporting the activity for the Georgia Southern University Foundation, Inc., the Georgia Southern University Housing Foundation, Inc., Southern Boosters, Inc. and Georgia Southern University Research and Service Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 predominant activity takes place
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, Georgia Southern University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, Georgia Southern 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.
Georgia Southern University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. Georgia Southern 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 Georgia Southern 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 19

Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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 for Food Services are valued at cost using the average-cost basis. Resale Inventories for Bookstore and other services 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 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $11,000 to Georgia Southern University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a Georgia Southern 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 compensated absences 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 $4,143,180 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $3,337,691 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,858,084, for a net increase of $479,607. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $4,622,787.
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 Georgia Southern University's net assets are classified as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents Georgia Southern 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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

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:

June 30, 2007
$194,731 3,081,207
53,253 $3,329,191

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.

$1,724,101 17,389,690
100,000 11,077,954 $30,291,745

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

Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 Georgia Southern 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, Georgia Southern University's deposits may not be recovered.

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:

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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.

All agreements are cancellable 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. The property under operating leases is for office space, copiers and other small business equipment.
In 2007, Georgia Southern University entered into a real property operating lease with an unrelated party, for office space for monthly rentals of $9,232. The agreement contains a renewal option on a year-to-year basis. Under this agreement, the University paid $110,784 in the current year.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Georgia Southern 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Georgia Southern University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Georgia Southern 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 Southern University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 31

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $245,721. The University's total payroll for all employees was $97,253,078.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $29,301, of which $25,615 was made by the University and $3,686 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 Southern 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Georgia Southern University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $3,518,691 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $1,980,091 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 33

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 2007 amounted to $346,641 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 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.
Georgia Southern University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 34

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 642 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Georgia Southern University recognized as incurred $2,702,395 of expenditures, which was net of $1,034,101 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Georgia Southwestern State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $2,505,001. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $2,487,385 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $834,403. The combination of the increase in total assets of $2,505,001 and the increase in total liabilities of $834,403 yields an increase in total net assets of $1,670,598.

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.

Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Nonoperating revenues increased by $626,990 for the year primarily due to increases in State Appropriations, Gifts, Investment Income and Other categories.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,322,901 and primarily affected the Instruction and Public Service categories. The increase reflects the merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities.

GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Georgia Southwestern State University is reporting the activity for the Georgia Southwestern Foundation, Inc. and the Georgia Southwestern Research and Development Corporation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 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, 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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, 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 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $736,480 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $507,356 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $494,194, for a net increase of $13,162. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $749,642.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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 Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$196,404 795,353 260,268
$1,252,025

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.

June 30, 2007
$844,460 895,927 36,500 16,750
$1,793,637

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.

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.

Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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:

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $26,932.

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 cancellable 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.

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 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
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 2007 amounted to $24,996 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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.
Georgia Southwestern State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 164 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Georgia Southwestern State University recognized as incurred $645,981 of expenditures, which was net of $249,146 of participant contributions.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia Gwinnett College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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 Gwinnett 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.

Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

24,892,453 1,310,490
$26,202,943

The total assets of the institution increased by $5,524,519. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $3,750,615 in the category of Capital Assets, Net. This increase is due to the Presidential Suite Renovation project, which increased the value of Building B by $793,402, and the construction in progress of a second phase of Academic Building C, which had fiscal year 2007 construction costs of approximately $2.8 million. The balance of the increase is mainly in accounts receivable and approximately $1.2 million in cash held by the College, which is reserved for the construction of a parking deck that is scheduled to open in fiscal year 2008.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $916,619. This increase is primarily due to an increase in contracts and accounts payable attributed to construction projects in progress. The combination of the increase in total assets of $5,524,519 and the increase in total liabilities of $916,619 yields an increase in total net assets of $4,607,900. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $4,324,385.

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 $2,151,844 in fiscal 2007. During FY 2007, Georgia Gwinnett College welcomed its first students, which gives the college tuition and fee revenue for the first time and substantially increases the operating revenues of the college.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $1,229,000 is a result of the new parking fee charged to all students attending classes on campus. This includes not only Georgia Gwinnett College

students, but students attending Georgia Perimeter College and the University of Georgia classes held on Georgia Gwinnett College's campus. This fee will pay for a new parking deck that is currently being constructed on campus, which will open during fiscal year 2008.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $3,319,563 for the year primarily due to an increase of $3,280,219 in State Appropriations.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,994,209 and primarily affected the Instruction, Academic Support, and Institutional Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of the first faculty members hired by Georgia Gwinnett College, an increase in staff to support the institution, and an increase in the benefit costs due to an increase in the number of employees.

Utilities increased by $320,849 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the addition of a new building and a general increase in utility costs that affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by the Georgia Gwinnett 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 one significant capital asset addition for facilities in fiscal year 2007. The Presidential Suite renovation was completed and placed into service during in fiscal year 2007. This $1 million project was funded partially by the institution and partially by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) major repair and rehabilitation funding.
Additionally, the institution is currently constructing an addition to Academic Building C, which will provide much needed classroom and office space for the campus. This addition is being funded by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) and will be completed during Fiscal Year 2008.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Long Term Debt and Liabilities
Georgia Gwinnett College had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $15,117,092 of which $749,694 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Georgia Gwinnett College is not including the financial statements and notes for any component units for fiscal year 2007. The Georgia Gwinnett College Foundation does not meet the criteria to consider it significant for component unit reporting at this time.
Economic Outlook
In its second year operation, Georgia Gwinnett College will be engaged in a number of activities that will have substantial impact on both its short and long term financial outlook. Included in these activities will be the hiring of additional faculty to teach students at the sophomore level, initiation of the College's second year of classes including matriculating its charter freshmen class, integration of technology-related functions for enrollment, admission, and matriculation, and other routine components of administering an educational institution. Additionally, college administrators will continue development of the GGC Foundation that has already had one extremely successful year of fundraising and operation.
Most importantly, GGC will continue working with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) on the accreditation process. This will consist of a thorough review of academic, administrative, and financial components of the college. College administrators recognize this process to be vital to future enrollment and success; therefore, substantial
Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 6

resources and efforts will be dedicated toward achievement of the various milestones of accreditation.
Also critical to the future of the institution is the construction of facilities to meet the needs of students, faculty, staff, and the community. This is also an important part of the SACS accreditation process. During the next year the College will begin construction of a state of the art $28.5 million Learning Resource Center, funded by the Georgia Legislature, and overseen by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission. This new library learning resource center is vital both for SACS accreditation and as a critical resource for Georgia Gwinnett College's student body. The College will complete construction of a parking deck financed through private funding and paid for by a new student parking fee.
Additionally, the Board of Regents approved a $100 Student Center facility fee and increased the student recreation fee from $20 to $40 for fiscal year 2008. These new fees will be used to build a new Student Center and to provide approximately 30-50,000 square feet of student recreation space.
Of further importance will be increasing our State budget allotment in advance of the normal process of funding. Normally, the General Assembly appropriates funds based on a two-year retroactive cycle related to FTE's of an institution. Since Georgia Gwinnett College is new, funds for both the hiring of faculty and operating expenses must be provided before the FTE production occurs. This funding will come from several sources including the budget of the Board of Regents, special initiative funds from the General Assembly, or a combination of public and private dollars. Without adequate funding from these sources, Georgia Gwinnett College will not be able to acquire the personal and administrative resources necessary to meet the anticipated demand for student enrollment from the community.
2007-2008 will be an exciting time for Georgia Gwinnett College as it begins its second year of operations and the initiation of its charter freshmen classes. While there are many pressing needs for the college, the Gwinnett community, the General Assembly, and the Board of Regents have consistently supported the institution through its transition. We look forward to this continued support in meeting the objectives of the newest publicly funded State institution in the Nation.

GEORGIA GWINNETT COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett College is one of thirty-five (35) 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 Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett College) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Unit - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 fiscal year 2007, Georgia Gwinnett 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared
Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 11

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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.
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.
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. Residual values will
Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Georgia Gwinnett 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.
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 compensated absences 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 Gwinnett College had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $113,651 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $266,339 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $107,021, for a net increase of $159,318. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $272,969.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.

June 30, 2007
$1,364,350 229,655
$1,594,005

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 Gwinnett 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.

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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.

Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Georgia Gwinnett College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $129,648 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $74,630 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Gwinnett 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 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 2007 amounted to $24,883 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.

Note 12. 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 Gwinnett 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 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 Gwinnett 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 13. 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 Gwinnett College expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Georgia Gwinnett College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Gwinnett 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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were no employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Kennesaw State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution increased by $14,294,359. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $6,655,270 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash and short term investments.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $4,048,545. The combination of the increase in total assets of $14,294,359 and the increase in total liabilities of $4,048,545 yields an increase in total net assets of $10,245,814. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $5,870,473.

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.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating revenues increased by $13,068,707 in fiscal 2007, reflecting an increase in tuition and fees, and an increase in Auxiliary enterprises. The increase in tuition and fees was attributable to a 4% percent increase in tuition rates and a 7% increase in enrollment.

The Auxiliary revenue increased by $3,958,513, with the largest dollar increase being in housing share revenue from the Kennesaw State University Foundation. Most Auxiliary enterprises realized double digit percentage increases in revenue.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $8,247,461 for the year primarily due to an increase of $5,492,407 in State Appropriations.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $14,035,378. The increase reflects additional staff and faculty, merit increases, and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities increased by $323,783 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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. 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.

KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Kennesaw State University is reporting the activity for the Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation").
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 grants 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 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. Within fiscal 2007, a small auditorium project that had been reported as campusmanaged in the prior year, changed to a GSFIC managed project. In fiscal year 2007 GSFIC transferred $600,420 to the University in capital additions on a previously completed project.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall. There were no deposits as of June 30, 2007.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 $4,409,847 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $3,521,522 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,771,614, for a net increase of $749,908. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $5,159,755.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$153,200 370,149 131,331
2,522,329 $3,177,009

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.

June 30, 2007
$1,265,317 7,575,289
10,771,328 $19,611,934

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.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

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.

At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $18,374,736 and the bank balance was $20,085,758. Of the University's deposits, $19,885,758 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $2,900,000 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent in the University's name, and $16,985,758 were uncollateralized.

B. Investments

Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment or a deposit. At June 30, 2007 $409,197 or 3.1% of Kennesaw State University's investments were invested in international equity mutual funds. Due to the diversity of the fund portfolios and the immateriality of these investments compared to total investments, the University does not consider there to be any significant foreign currency risk. The University does not have a formal policy for managing exposure to foreign currency risk.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was $0.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Kennesaw 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of Kennesaw State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. Kennesaw 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$4,117,654 $3,772,319 $3,491,043

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Kennesaw State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $27,092. The University's total payroll for all employees was $94,574,299.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $3,226, of which $2,820 was made by the University and $406 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Kennesaw State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $3,278,047 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $1,849,249 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 29

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 2007 amounted to $455,636 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 30

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 220 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Kennesaw State University recognized as incurred $1,101,125 of expenditures, which was net of $356,308 of participant contributions.

Kennesaw State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 32

Note 16. Component Units

The Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Kennesaw 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 also constructs buildings and facilities for use by the University and then leases the completed buildings to the institution. 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $4,125,711 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 Road, Mailbox 910, Kennesaw, GA 30144 or from the Foundation's website at www.kennesaw.edu/foundation.

Investments for Component Units:

Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $25.7 million. The $12.4 million corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. The Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 4% of the scholarship balance, in excess of $400, may be used for academic scholarships. The remaining 96% of the balance is set aside as a reserve.

Investments are comprised of the following amounts at June 30, 2007:

MACON STATE COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
Macon State College is one of the 35 institutions of higher education 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 Service Administration, and Health Information Management. Since that time other baccalaureate degrees have been added, including a new baccalaureate degree in Early Childhood Education which began Fall Semester 2005, as well as new baccalaureate degrees in Nursing, History and English which were approved during 2007. These programs and degrees have further expanded the College's level of programming and services to the region.
The College's main campus, located in Macon, Georgia, is complemented by the Warner Robins Campus in Warner Robins, Georgia. Enrollment at the College has increased well over 50% since its mission changed in 1996. Enrollment for Fall 2006 continued to increase with a total enrollment of 6,244 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 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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

Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.

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.

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.

Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Total revenue increased by $1,101,839 in fiscal year 2007. Operating revenues increased by $1,468,641 which was due in large part to the 17% increase in tuition and fee revenue.
Nonoperating revenues increased by $1,809,034 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,257,428 in State Appropriations.
Total expenses increased by $1,921,493, or approximately 4.5%. The increase was due to the hiring of new faculty in the Instruction function to meet the demands of the enrollment increase.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $2,179,219 due to increased cost of health insurance for employees of the institution as well as new hires within the Instruction function.
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 Macon State College completed a renovation to the Nursing Annex Building in fiscal year 2007. This renovation converted the building to the home of the new Education Division. This project was funded by a combination of Major Repair and Renovation funds and internal revenue. For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements. Long Term Debt and Liabilities Macon State College had Long-Term Liabilities of $1,132,911 of which $488,566 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007. For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 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 fiscal year 2007. The Macon State College Foundation, Inc. had endowment and other investments of $7,673,396 as of June 30, 2007. 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.

MACON STATE COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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 Institution'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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY 2007, Macon State College is reporting the activity for the Macon State College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, Component Units, for Foundation notes.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

component of investment income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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.
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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the College 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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Macon State College.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

Deposits Macon State College did not hold any student deposits at June 30, 2007.

Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues include amounts received for tuition and fees 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 compensated absences 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 $987,618 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $622,234 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $476,941, for a net increase of $145,293. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,132,911.

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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.

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, 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.

$432,698 934,880
2,023,610 $3,391,188

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.
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.

Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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 10. Lease Obligations

CAPITAL LEASES

Macon State College had no capital leases or installment purchase agreements for the acquisition of real property or equipment during fiscal year 2007.

OPERATING LEASES

Macon State College's noncancelable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2009. 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.

Future commitments for noncancelable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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'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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 cost-sharing multiple-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 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $167,009. The College's total payroll for all employees was $20,916,137.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $19,891, of which $17,386 was made by the College and $2,505 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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.
Macon State College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $622,156 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $347,105 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 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 2007 amounted to $59,337 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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 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
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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.
Note 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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
Macon State College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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, 2007, there were 91 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Macon State College recognized as incurred $457,228 of expenditures, which was net of $190,976 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Component Unit Notes

Macon State College Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Macon State 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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $512,879 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Development and Alumni Affairs Office at 100 College Station Drive, Macon, GA 31206 or from the College's website at http://www.maconstate.edu/foundation/.

Investments for Component Units:

Macon State College Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $7,673,396. The $7,066,742 corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. Macon State College Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 4-6% of the three-year rolling average may be expended. The remaining percentage stays intact.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Medical College of Georgia is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

58,886,168 437,594
(10,834,464) $273,603,559

The total assets of the institution increased by $52,090,383. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $34,980,142 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 $15,632,037. The primary cause for the increase was in current liabilities, primarily $11,129,359 in accounts payable. The combination of the increase in total assets of $52,090,383 and the increase in total liabilities of $15,632,037 yields an increase in total net assets of $36,458,346. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of invested in capital assets, net of debt, in the amount of $34,070,727.

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.

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating revenues increased by $18,816,849 in fiscal 2007. Grants and contracts increased in the amount of $17,474,913. This is primarily a result of increases in health services contracts from the State of Georgia which are administered by the College. Although Tuition & Fees included a 9% increase, revenues decreased in Auxiliary and Other categories.

Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $18,393,690 for the year primarily due to an increase of $15,828,480 in State Appropriations.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $24,803,110 and primarily affected the Instruction, Institutional Support and Public Service categories. The increase reflects the addition of 19 faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities increased by $2,318,539 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

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 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.

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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Medical College of Georgia is reporting the activity for MCG Health, Inc., Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc., Medical College of Georgia Physicians Practice Group Foundation, Medical College of Georgia Research Institute, Inc. and Medical College of Georgia Dental Foundation.
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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.
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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Total Return Fund is included under Investments.
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 College's 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 using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out 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 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $33,522,612 to Medical College of Georgia.
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
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 19

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 compensated absences 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 $26,691,587 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $20,402,251 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $17,840,096, for a net increase of $2,562,155. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $29,253,742.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

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.

The Medical College of Georgia has $387,687 in Restricted Net Assets Capital Projects. These funds are on deposit with GSFIC and will be used for additional expenses for the Health Sciences Building.

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.

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.

The College does not have a formal policy addressing variable-rate securities. The College relies upon the judgment of its Investment Managers and the policies of the investment vehicles related to Medical College of Georgia's investment assets.

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The College's Investment Policy and Guidelines manages interest rate risk by recognizing that short-term loss of principal may be necessary in order to achieve long-term safety and growth of principal; and that in order to maximize income from debt instruments with maturities longer than sixty days, market values may be exposed to shortterm price volatility.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Total Return Fund is 9.35 years. Of the College's total investment of $7,694,764 in the Total Return Fund, $2,184,543 is invested in debt securities.

Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the College will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The College does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments. Investment Managers are held accountable for custodial safety. The College's Investment Policy and Guidelines require that managers be registered in good standing as investment advisors; and will be experienced with proven track records.

At June 30, 2007, $11,059,106 of the College's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty's trust department or agent in the College's name.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. All debt issues must be eligible investments under Georgia Code 50-17-63. Portfolios of debt security funds must also meet the eligible investment criteria under the same code section.

The investments subject to credit quality risk are reflected below:

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The College's Investment Policy and Guidelines for managing concentration of credit risk requires that stocks and debt issues be diversified. The College also relies upon the concentration of credit risk policy of the individual investment vehicles related to Medical College of Georgia's investment assets. More than 5 percent of the College's investments are in the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. These investments are 14.97% and 7.85% respectively of the College's total investments.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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. At June 30, 2007 no provision had been made for uncollectible loans.

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Medical College of Georgia participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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

Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 31

years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $461,726. The College's total payroll for all employees was $289,165,886.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $55,129, of which $48,203 was made by the College and $6,926 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Medical College of Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $7,547,556 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $4,270,202 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Medical College of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 33

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 2007 amounted to $368,213 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
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 Bryan, Pendleton, Swats and McAllister. 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 initial funding period of the annuity was 15 years; however, effective January 1, 2004, the remaining amortization period was extended 4 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 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 Annual required contribution for the current year was determined as part of the July 13, 2006, actuarial valuation using the Entry Age Actuarial cost method. The remaining amortization period is 12 years utilizing the entry age, level dollar, closed method. The actuarial value of assets recognizes a portion of the difference between the market value of assets and the expected actuarial value of assets, based on the assumed interest rate of return. The amount recognized each year is 20% of the difference between market value and expected actuarial value. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.5% rate of return on investment, (b) annual inflation of 3.50%, and (c) annual cost of living increase of 3.00%.
Note 12. 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 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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 2,072 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Medical College of Georgia recognized as incurred $6,758,927 of expenditures, which was net of $2,468,787 of participant contributions.

Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc. Medical College of Georgia Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of Medical College of Georgia (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 functions as an independent corporation governed by its articles of incorporation, by-laws and its Board of Directors. 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 on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis, revenue and the related assets are recognized when collected rather than when earned and expenses are generally recognized when paid rather than when incurred. Consequently, contributions receivable from donors, investment income receivables, accounts payable to vendors and accrued expenses are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The modified cash basis reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $7.8 million to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 919 15th Street, FI-1036, Augusta, GA 30912.

MIDDLE GEORGIA COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Middle Georgia College is one of the 35 institutions of higher education of the University System of Georgia. The College, located in Cochran, Georgia, was founded in 1884 and is dedicated to providing a caring, dynamic, learning-centered, and technologically advanced environment of excellence. As a comprehensive and residential institution, the College pursues innovative opportunities to provide services to its traditional and non-traditional students primarily from rural areas of south central Georgia and will maintain a recognized legacy of affordable higher education and community support services of the highest quality. The College provides a main campus in Cochran serving commuting and residential students. Its Dublin Center and other off-campus sites provide educational opportunities for those commuting students from central Georgia. These facilities meet the associate-degree and targeted baccalaureate degree level program needs throughout the regional service area. The state College provides access to higher education and undergraduate degrees that will address the economic development needs of Georgia's heartland, and, in limited cases, the economic development of the state at large. Popular programs include Business Administration, Education, Nursing, Engineering, and the Georgia Academy of Mathematics, Engineering and Science. The institution's continued growth and excellence in academic instruction are reflected in the numbers throughout this report.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Middle Georgia College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.

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.

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

The total assets of the institution increased by $27,785,835. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $25,450,614 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $11,411,790. The combination of the increase in total assets of $27,785,835 and the increase in total liabilities of $11,411,790 yields an increase in total net assets of $16,374,045. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $14,676,142.

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.

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating revenues increased by $2,549,394 in fiscal 2007. Net Tuition & Fees included a 10% decrease while Grants and Contracts increased 31%.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $1,781,461 is a result of the increase in the residential student population.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $135,867 for the year due to an increase of $540,568 in State Appropriations which was offset by an increase in interest expense for the newly constructed student residential facilities.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $707,119. The increase reflects the merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities increased by $328,882 during the past year. The increase was associated with the increased electricity costs and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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 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 two significant capital asset additions for facilities in fiscal year 2007. Gateway dormitory was opened in August 2006. This facility is a capital lease from the MGC Real Estate Foundation, LLC. Two additional facilities which were funded from the same bond issue will be brought on line in fiscal year 2008.
Middle Georgia College also completed the new Chiller Plant, the installation of improved lighting and the related poles and portions of the campus utilities loop during the year. This is part of a $16.5 million Campus Utilities Loop project funded by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC). Due to the expected final completion of the Campus Utilities Loop, projected funding by GSFIC for FY2008 will be substantially less.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Long Term Debt and Liabilities
Middle Georgia College had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $11,416,121 of which $309,872 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 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 FY2007. Middle Georgia College Foundation, Inc. had investments of $1.2 million and long-term debt of $26.8 million in the form of bond issues as of June 30, 2007. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, Component Units.
Economic Outlook
The College has acquired the assets and operations of the Georgia Aviation & Technical College effective July 1, 2007. This merger will improve the educational opportunities that the College can provide the state of Georgia and especially the middle Georgia region. The College expects it's enrollment to continue to grow in fiscal year 2008 with the addition of the Aviation Campus in Eastman and the offering of bachelor degree programs in aviation. The Georgia Academy for Mathematics, Engineering and Sciences is also expected to grow in enrollment due to the increased dormitory space made available with the opening of Anderson Hall for fall 2007.

MIDDLE GEORGIA COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Middle Georgia College is reporting the activity for the Middle Georgia College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

expenditures made pursuant to the College's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies and resale inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on the firstin, 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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $13,105,074 to Middle Georgia College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a College residence hall and deposits held for students for use utilizing the campus card system.
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.
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 compensated absences 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 $614,398 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $382,576 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $357,709, for a net increase of $24,867. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $639,265.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.

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: 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.

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the College were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal year 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change. Auxiliary Residence Hall revenue of $2,699,695 is reported net of discounts and allowances of $168,244.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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. The College had no allowance for uncollectible loans at June 30, 2007.

A vehicle capital lease with a third party was paid in full during fiscal 2007. Total payments during the year on this lease were $2,412, with principal and interest paid of $2,384 and $28, respectively.

OPERATING LEASES

Middle Georgia College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in fiscal 2008. 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 cancellable 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.

Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$655,271 $631,254 $644,235

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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

Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $169,158 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $95,506 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $29,546 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

Note 12. 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 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. 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 13. 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.
Middle Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 122 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Middle Georgia College recognized as incurred $423,154 of expenditures, which was net of $167,555 of participant contributions.

Note 16. 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. 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $44,518 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Office of Fiscal Affairs at 1100 Second Street, 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 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 $21,731,624. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $18,705,689 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The total liabilities for the year increased by $19,203,809. The combination of the increase in total assets of $21,731,624 and the increase in total liabilities of $19,203,809 yields an increase in total net assets of $2,527,815. The increase in total net assets is a combination of increases in Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $675,223 and Unrestricted Net Assets in the amount of $1,575,465.

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.

North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $1,804,981 is a primary result of the increased sales of food services, retail operations and residence hall additions.
Nonoperating revenues increased by $1,906,399 for the year primarily due to an increase of $739,611 in State Appropriations and $901,560 in Grants, Contracts and Gifts.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $2,869,100 and primarily affected the Instruction category. The increase reflects the addition of 23 faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities decreased by ($34,442) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with the decreased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by 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, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations North Georgia College and 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 and State University is one of thirty-five (35) 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 and 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 and State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, North Georgia College and 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 and State University) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, North Georgia College and State University is reporting the activity for the North Georgia College and State University Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 grants 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to North Georgia College and State University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 and State University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $1,309,353 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $977,180 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $800,202, for a net increase of $176,978. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,486,331.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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 & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

$75,980 680,876 826,897 $1,583,753

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$7,336,968 1,777,613 40,572 (522,639)
$8,632,514

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 and 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.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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 and 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.

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.

At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $12,014,186 and the bank balance was $12,708,113. Of the University's deposits, $12,557,832 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $12,557,832 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the University's name.

B. Investments North Georgia College and State University maintains an investment policy which fosters sound and prudent judgment in the management of assets to ensure safety of capital consistent with the fiduciary responsibility each institution has to the citizens of Georgia and which conforms to Board of Regents investment policy. All investments are consistent with donor intent, Board of Regents policy, and applicable federal and state laws.

North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $0.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description North Georgia College and 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of North Georgia College and State University who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. North Georgia College and 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

Percentage Contributed

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$1,392,527 $1,292,601 $1,244,901

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description North Georgia College and State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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

North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $176,708. The University's total payroll for all employees was $27,425,092.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $21,143, of which $18,492 was made by the University and $2,651 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 and 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 and State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $774,068 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $435,760 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description North Georgia College and 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 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
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 2007 amounted to $83,222 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 and 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 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 and 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.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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 13. 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 and State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against North Georgia College and 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 217 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, North Georgia College and State University recognized as incurred $987,123 of expenditures, which was net of $321,473 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

North Georgia College & State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of North Georgia College & 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 twenty-five 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $1,685,181 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 70 Alumni Drive, Dahlonega, GA 30533 or from the Foundation's website at www.ngcsu.edu.

On February 27, 2007, the Authority issued Bond Series 2007C in the amount of $16,215,000 allowing North Georgia Student Housing to retire the 2001A bonds, to pay off an existing debt of $1,158,000 on 110 acres of land it held for the future use of the University, to provide $3,000,000 to build a road, sidewalks, walking trails and other infrastructure necessary for future campus development and to lower its cost of capital. The new bonds were issued at an average interest rate of 4.4%. The Series 2007C bonds will mature in 2028. An interest swap termination fee of $508,000 was paid. The security for the Series 2007C bonds is a rental agreement with the University which will pass title to the University at the final maturity of the bonds. The balance on the bond liability on June 30, 2007 is $16,215,000.
North Georgia College & State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 31

SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
Savannah State University is one of the 35 institutions of higher education 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 primarily an 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 3,000 students each year. The institution continues to grow as shown by the comparison numbers that follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Savannah State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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 2007 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 combination of the increase in total assets of $3,341,155 and the decrease in total liabilities of ($650,852) yields an increase in total net assets of $3,992,007. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $2,017,370.

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.

Additionally the Drew Griffith Science Building expansion was completed and placed in service during the fiscal year. The costs of these projects were funded by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC). Projected funding by GSFIC for FY2008 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.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 5

Long Term Debt and Liabilities Savannah State University had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $1,213,388 of which $545,189 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007. For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Component Units Savannah State University does not have any foundations or affiliated organizations that qualify as component units for reporting purposes as of June 30, 2007. 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.

SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Unit - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 FY2007, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 grants 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.
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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $165,697 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
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 compensated absences 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 $1,209,462 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $851,936 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $848,010, for a net increase of $3,926. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,213,388.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$71,384 874,028
22,225 293,483 $1,261,120

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.

$5,245,925

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.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

B. Investments At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of the University's investments was $1,109,390, which is materially the same as fair value. These investments were comprised entirely of funds invested in the Board of Regents investment pools as follows:

Investment Pools Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund
T otal Investment Pools

$1,109,390 $1,109,390

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Balanced Income Fund is 9.35 years. Of the University's total investment of $1,109,390 in the Balanced Income Fund, $669,628 is invested in debt securities.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk.

As previously stated, the BOR Investment Pool is not rated.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $0.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$1,244,360 $1,147,046 $1,138,813

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Savannah State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. 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.

Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $32,500. The University's total payroll for all employees was $20,435,116.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $3,870, of which $3,383 was made by the University and $487 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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.
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Savannah State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $484,154 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $250,598 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $37,323 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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 13. 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.
Savannah State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 181 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Savannah State University recognized as incurred $840,377 of expenditures, which was net of $350,454 of participant contributions.

SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
The 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 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 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
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

$5,848,672

The total assets of the institution increased by $341,602. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $367,131 in the category of Cash and Cash Equivalents. The increase was a result of the Institute's efforts to improve collections of accounts receivable and a result of several large purchases being encumbered in FY07 that will ultimately be paid in FY08. The corresponding decrease in accounts receivable was $158,504. An increase of $126,453 in the category of Capital Assets, net was due primarily to the construction of a new housing complex which was completed this year. The new 8 bed unit will serve visiting scientists, students and interns.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $129,359. This was due to an increase of $100,999 in Accounts Payable, related to the June benefits payments being accrued but not paid until after June 30th, 2007. The other major contributing factor in the increase was the Institute's acquisition of a $150,000 note payable with Armstrong Atlantic State University. This note payable was recorded in Auxiliary funds and was used to assist in the final construction of the housing complex.
The combination of the increase in total assets of $341,602 and the increase in total liabilities of $129,359 yields an increase in total net assets of $212,243. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $227,084.

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 decreased by ($341,677) in fiscal 2007. This was the result of a ($443,195) decrease in Grants and Contracts and a $199,010 increase in Rents and Royalties. The decrease in Grants and Contracts is a result of an increasingly competitive research grant environment primarily being driven by decreases in available funding opportunities at the State and Federal levels. The Institute has been impacted by the shrinking funding pool and growing numbers of applicants for these remaining funds. The increase in Rents and Royalties is a result of a strong year of operations for the Research Vessel Savannah. Ship days were 144 in fiscal 2007.

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating expenses decreased by ($315,543) as a result of the decreases in Grants and Contract Revenue. This decrease can be attributed to a decrease in Supplies and Other Services Expenses of ($312,517). The net effect on the Operating Loss was an increase in losses of $26,134.

Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $233,793 for the year primarily due to an increase of $490,817 in State Appropriations. This increase was attributed to a one-time funding increase from the Board of Regents for startup expenses related to new faculty members. This increase was offset by a ($285,656) decrease in Gifts related to the one-time funding the Institute received in fiscal 2006 for emergency MR&R funds. Total Other Revenues also decreased by ($630,810) as a result of extraordinary one-item State Capital Grants and Gifts received in fiscal 2006 related to the completion of the ADA funded marsh boardwalk and replacement of the campus-wide electrical grid.

The result for fiscal 2007 was an increase in Net Assets of $212,243.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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 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 one significant capital asset additions for facilities in fiscal year 2007. Construction of the "Commons", an eight bed housing complex, was completed and placed in service in February 2007. The cost of the project was $481,310 and funding was secured from several sources, including a grant from the National Science Foundation.
For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the notes to the financial statements.
Long Term Debt and Liabilities
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $588,949 of which $370,267 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.
For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Component Units
The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography does not have a component unit that meets the criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 39.
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. Even with a relatively flat funded year, the Institute was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. Federal funding programs are not expected to increase in the coming year and competition for funds has increased dramatically. Therefore, the Institute must remain poised to take advantage of new and emerging opportunities. In summary, 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, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography serves the state, national and international communities by providing research and instruction that advances fundamental knowledge and by disseminating that knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
Reporting Entity The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is a unique, multidisciplinary Institute within 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Unit - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 FY2007, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 10

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 11

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 Institute's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories The Institute maintains no inventories on hand.
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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the Institute when complete. For projects managed by the Institute, the Institute retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.
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.
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

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 compensated absences 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. Skidaway Institute of Oceanography had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $360,976 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $274,690 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $273,923, for a net increase of $767. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $361,743.

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 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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.

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.

Reserve for Encum brances Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$451,129 (217,366) $233,763

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.

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Institute's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the Institute) 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and debt obligations issued by the
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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.

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.

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

OPERATING LEASES
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in fiscal 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 cancellable 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.
Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$ 226,027 $ 228,046 $ 230,078

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 19

Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $88,203 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $49,838 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 27 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography recognized as incurred $113,954 of expenditures, which was net of $49,209 of participant contributions.

SOUTH GEORGIA COLLEGE
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

South Georgia College is one of the 35 institutions of higher education 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 missions of the University System of Georgia. The institution has grown as indicated by the comparison numbers that follow.

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

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.

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 $1,539,485. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $1,648,319 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $170,764. The combination of the increase in total assets of $1,539,485 and the increase in total liabilities of $170,764 yields an increase in total net

assets of $1,368,721. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $1,648,319.

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 $854,672 in fiscal 2007. Revenue from Tuition & Fees increased 19% and included an 8% fees increase. Similar increases occurred in Grants and Contracts and Auxiliary. Grants and Contracts increases are directly related to the increase in assistance provided to support financial aid programs.

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $247,046 is a result of the changing environment of residential life on the College's campus. Beginning with Fall Semester, the meal plan program was changed from a declining balance account to a two-option meal plan program and a new health fee requirement for resident students was implemented. These changes coupled with a slight increase in the campus resident population generated a 14% increase in Auxiliary revenue.

Nonoperating revenues and expenses decreased by ($80,109) for the year primarily due to a decrease in Other Nonoperating Revenues ($132,371).

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $848,331 and primarily affected all areas including Instruction, Academic Support, Institutional Support, and Student Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of 8 faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.

Utilities decreased by ($48,479) during the past year. The decrease was primarily associated with energy conservation measures which included load shedding during peak hours and alternative scheduling of class and work schedules.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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 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.

SOUTH GEORGIA COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, South Georgia College is reporting the activity for South Georgia College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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.
Inventories South Georgia College has no consumable supplies reported as inventory. 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the College 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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to South Georgia 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 compensated absences 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 $240,640 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $266,651 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $187,170, for a net increase of $79,481. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $320,121.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$51,826 52,066
$103,892

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, College 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.

(72,905) $220,591

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.

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

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.

OPERATING LEASES
South Georgia College's noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2008 through 2011. 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 cancellable 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 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description South Georgia College participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $23,346. The College's total payroll for all employees was $5,786,567.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the College pays the remainder on behalf of the employee.
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the College amounted 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 2007 amounted to $2,780, of which $2,430 was made by the College and $350 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, 2007 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 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $104,190 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $58,782 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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 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 2007 amounted to $8,296 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 24

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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
South Georgia College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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, 2007, there were 82 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, South Georgia College recognized as incurred $320,750 of expenditures, which was net of $135,058 of participant contributions.

SOUTHERN POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
Southern Polytechnic State University is one of the 35 institutions of higher education of the University System of Georgia. The University, located in Marietta, Georgia, 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 of Georgia. The campus currently encompasses approximately 193 acres and contains 46 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 student body that has had the third highest SAT average amongst System institutions for several years.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Southern Polytechnic State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006
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
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.
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 ($710,255). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($1,818,086) in the category of Capital Assets, net. 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.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($602,361). The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($710,255) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($602,361) yields a decrease in total net assets of ($107,894). The decrease in total net assets is primarily a combination of a decrease in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of ($993,194) and an increase in Unrestricted Net Assets of $795,584.

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 $3,266,006 in fiscal 2007. This is the result of an increase in tuition & fees coupled with an increase in enrollment.

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $690,306 is a result of the continuing growth of residential life on the University's campus.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $763,802 for the year primarily due to an increase of $168,255 in State Appropriations and investment income growth of $274,788.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $1,929,037 and primarily affected the Instruction and Plant Operations and Maintenance categories.

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 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.

Southern Polytechnic State University NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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 that advances 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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Southern Polytechnic State University is reporting the activity for the Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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.
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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

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 grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any 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 revenues also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 compensated absences 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 $977,559 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $862,509 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $711,865, for a net increase of $150,644. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $1,128,203.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

June 30, 2007
$1,272,488 329,048 143,116 239,394
$1,984,046

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.

June 30, 2007
$1,975,024 1,947,013 (2,471,978)
$1,450,059

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.

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.

Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.

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:

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 Southern Polytechnic 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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.
Southern Polytechnic State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $748,281(9.66% or 8.13%) and $421,500(5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Southern Polytechnic 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 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
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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 2007 amounted to $80,752 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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. 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 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.
Southern Polytechnic State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 26

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 13. 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 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 178 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Southern Polytechnic State University recognized as incurred $916,126 of expenditures, which was net of $352,034 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) is a legally separate, taxexempt component unit of Southern Polytechnic 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 forty 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 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $537,749 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Advancement Office, Southern Polytechnic State University, 1100 South Marietta Pkwy., Marietta, GA, 30060-2896.

Investments for Component Units:

Southern Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $8 million. The $2 million corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. The Foundation, in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby 5% of the earnings may be used for academic scholarships. The remaining 95% of the earnings are set aside as a reserve.

Investments are comprised of the following amounts at June 30, 2007:

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
The Georgia Institute of Technology is pleased to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007, which began July 1, 2006 and ended June 30, 2007. 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. 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;
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

and unrestricted. The basis of accounting is full accrual, including capitalization and depreciation of equipment and fixed assets. Comparative data is provided for FY 2006 and FY 2007.

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 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, 2006 and June 30, 2007:

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

The total assets of the institution increased by $148,802,088, due primarily to an increase of $111,998,031 in capital assets.

The total liabilities for the year increased by $88,388,280. This was due primarily to an increase in noncurrent Lease Purchase Obligations of $66.5 million and accounts payable of $12.2 million. The combination of the increase in total assets of $148,802,088, and the increase in total liabilities of $88,388,280 yields an increase in total net assets of $60,413,808, with most of the net gain in capital 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.

Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the Georgia Institute of Technology 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 Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Component Units In compliance with GASB Statement No. 39, Georgia Institute of Technology has included the financial statements and notes for all required component units for FY2007. These units are: Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc., Georgia Tech Athletic Association, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, Georgia Advanced Technology Ventures, Inc., Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. and Georgia Tech Alumni Association. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, Component Units. 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. Even with a relatively flat funded year for state appropriations, the Institute was able to generate a modest increase in Net Assets. 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.
Dr. G. Wayne Clough, President Georgia Institute of Technology

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations 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 throughout the world.
Reporting Entity Georgia Institute of Technology is one of thirty-five (35) 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 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. 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 Georgia Institute of Technology) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the Institute's report. For FY2007, Georgia Institute of Technology is reporting the activity for the following:
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 Advanced Technology Ventures, Inc.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. Georgia Tech Alumni Association
See Note 16, Component Units, for more detail.
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 implemented 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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.
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 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
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 19

reported as a component of investment income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 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. Resale inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis
Noncurrent Investments 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 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 50 years for buildings, 20 to 75 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 5 to 20 years for equipment. Residual values will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the Institution when complete. For projects managed by the Institution, the Institution retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $48,910,061 to Georgia Institute of Technology
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

Accounts Payable Accounts Payable are amounts due to trade vendors for goods and services received but not paid for as of the end of the fiscal year. In fiscal year 2007, the Institute added new controls to better identify outstanding obligations at year end, and as a result, accounts payable was adjusted by $6,247,697 for the year.
Deposits Deposits consist of funds placed with the Institute to reserve housing assignments in an Institution residence hall, Institute controlled funds held for the payment of employee benefits, and other various activities at the Institute.
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 and pre-paid rent.
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 compensated absences 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 Institute of Technology had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $27,896,377 as of July 1, 2006. For FY2007, $19,387,855 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $15,807,168, for a net increase of $3,580,687. The ending balance as of June 30, 2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $31,477,064.
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 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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 21

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.
Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

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.

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 22

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 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 Revenues The Institute has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating 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 Institute supported scholarships, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of sponsored and Institute supported 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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 non-operating 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 scholarship allowances.

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, 2007. 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
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Required Contribution
$18,025,456 $17,233,661 $16,731,285

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description Georgia Institute of Technology participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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.

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 34

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 60. 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. Post-retirement 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $548,801. The Institute's total payroll for all employees was $472,421,316.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7. 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 by employee. The Institute also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation for both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the Institute amounted 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 2007 amounted to $65,537, of which $57,305 was made by the Institute and $8,232 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 35

Actuarial and Trend Information Actuarial and historical trend information is presented in the ERS June 30, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $15,775,893 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $8,880,566 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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.
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 36

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 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 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 2007 amounted to $806,499 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll (with minor adjustments included). These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 37

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 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 13. 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 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, 2007.
At the request of Institute management, in April 2004, Georgia Tech Facilities Inc. (Facilities), a component unit of Georgia Tech (see Note 16), adopted a Declaration of Official Intent to seek the issuance of taxable and 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. The project has been approved by the Board of Regents, with a construction budget of $34 million. The ground lease and rental agreement have been completed and it is expected that the project will be completed in fiscal year 2008.
At the request of Institute management, in March 2007, Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. (Facilities), a component unit of Georgia Tech (see Note 16), 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 acquisition, renovation and construction of facilities for the use of the Institute to be known as the North Avenue Apartments project. The resolution was intended to
Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 38

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, which was subsequently received. The ground lease of the project to Facilities and a rental agreement to the Board of Regents for use by Georgia Tech were executed effective July 1, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 1,216 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Georgia Institute of Technology recognized as incurred $6,118,067 of expenditures, which was net of $2,260,011 of participant contributions.

Revenue Bonds Payable: In December, 2001, the Development Authority of Fulton County issued the Georgia Tech Athletic Association Revenue Bonds, Series 2001 ("Series 2001 Bonds") with a par value of $112,080,000 to finance the construction of a new baseball stadium, demolish a portion of the Georgia Tech Football stadium, the construction of certain improvements thereto, other miscellaneous capital improvements, and to refinance the outstanding principal on the Series 1995 Bonds and other borrowings. The interest rates on the bonds range from 4% to 5.5% and the bonds mature in October, 2032.

On March 16, 2004, the Athletic Association entered into a master swap agreement with UBS AG, Stamford Branch ("UBS"), an investment bank, and simultaneously sold UBS, an Interest Rate Swaption ("swaption"). The swaption represents an option to enter into an interest rate

Georgia Institute of Technology Annual Financial Report FY 2007 46

swap. The swaption premium generated by this contract was an upfront payment to the Athletic Association of $2,367,000. In exchange for the swaption premium, UBS gains the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a specified swap agreement with the Athletic Association beginning on April 1, 2012. If the swaption is exercised, the Athletic Association and UBS will swap interest rate payments. The Athletic Association will pay interest to UBS based on the stated rates in the swap agreement. UBS would then pay the Athletic Association a floating rate based on the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index plus 21 basis points (0.21%), which approximates the expected interest cost on the variable rate refunding bonds. At June 30, 2007, the swaption had a fair value (representing a liability) of $5,110,882, as calculated by UBS. The swaption premium is recorded as a component of bonds payable in the statement of net assets and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the bonds as a component of interest expense in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets.

Annual debt service requirements to maturity for the Athletic Association's revenue bonds payable are as follows:

The effect of the correction of this prior period error was to increase unrestricted net assets by $821,522.

GATV is also party to a lease agreement with TUFF GATV45 LLC under which GATV leases space on the fourth and fifth floors of the Centergy One Building, which it subleases to organizations compatible with its mission. This lease commenced April 1, 2005, and extends to December 2034, at which time GATV may purchase the property for a nominal charge. Additionally, GATV may purchase the property during the lease term at an amount determined by a formula accounting for interest rates and the total previous payments made.

The properties under the above capital leases are recorded as assets in the accompanying financial statements at the value of certain pre-occupancy payments plus the present value of the future minimum lease payments. The obligations under the capital lease have been recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted at an interest rate appropriate to GATV's estimated borrowing rate at the time of lease inception. Those interest rates are 6.25% for floors one through three and 7.75% for floors four and five. The capital lease obligation balance at June 30, 2007 includes $1,288,478 in accrued, but unpaid interest.

This lease commenced June 30, 2007 and extends to June 30, 2037, at which time GATV may purchase the property during the lease term at an amount determined by a formula accounting for interest rates and the total previous payments made.

The property under the above capital lease is recorded as building, infrastructure and leasehold improvement assets in the accompanying financial statements. The obligations under the capital lease have been recorded at the value of the contractor's cost of construction plus capitalized interest during the construction period. The effective overall average interest rate on the purchase, given an escalating lease payment schedule over the life of the agreement, is 9.078%.

Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. (Facilities) is a legally separate, tax-exempt component unit of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Institute). Facilities constructs research and auxiliary buildings and other structures for use by the Institute and then leases the completed buildings/structures to the Institute. The eight-member Facilities board is appointed by the President of the Georgia Institute of Technology and consists of alumni and friends of Georgia Tech. Although the Institute does not control the timing or amount of receipts and disbursements for Facilities, its resources and income are restricted to support the construction activities of Georgia Tech. Because these restricted resources held by Facilities can only be used by, or for the benefit of the Institute, Facilities is considered a component unit of Georgia Tech and is discretely presented in the Institute's financial statements.

Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. Facilities fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

Investments carried as capital assets valued at $157,687,000 are included in the Facilities financial statements. The corresponding buildings and associated long-term debt are included in

Complete financial statements for Facilities can be obtained from the following address: Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc., Treasurer's Office, Lyman Hall, Room 315, Atlanta, GA 30332-0257, Attention: Joel Hercik.

Prior Period Restatement:

Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. did not properly record capitalized interest for certain projects during relevant periods. In addition, Facilities did not appropriately account for direct financing leases with the Institute. Accordingly, the financial statements have been restated to properly capitalize interest and reflect Facilities' investment in direct financing leases, which are reported as Investments in Real Estate on the Statement of Net Assets. The effect of the correction on beginning net assets was a decrease of ($4,400,000).

Georgia Tech Facilities, Inc. holds investments in the amount of $157.7 million on its balance sheet which is composed of investments in Real Estate.

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 and number of faculty have slightly increased this fiscal year.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

The University of Georgia is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.

$1,062,818,184

The total assets of the institution increased by $70,723,424. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to a $47,904,348 increase of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation. The balance of the increase is due to higher balances in cash and accounts receivables between fiscal years of $38,516,739 and $3,649,053, respectively. These increases are a result of the maturity of significant investments at fiscal year end and increased activity with other State agencies. The total liabilities for the year increased by $7,194,342 due to increases in general accounts payable and construction contract payables. The
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

combination of the increase in total assets of $70,723,424 and the increase in total liabilities of $7,194,342 yields an increase in total net assets of $63,529,082. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of $50,285,229.

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.

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating revenues increased by $21,271,602 in fiscal 2007, which included increases in all operating revenue categories with the largest being growth in sales and service and auxiliary revenues. Revenue from sales and service activities increased 13.7% from $38.5 million in fiscal year 2006 to $43.8 million in fiscal year 2007. Auxiliary revenues increased 7.9% from $114.5 million in fiscal year 2006 to $123.6 million in fiscal year 2007 primarily in the residence hall and food services enterprises.
Increases in operating expenses from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007 include compensation, employee benefits, and depreciation expense. The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $32 million; $23.4 million of this increase represents annual faculty and staff increases and $8.6 million represents increases in employee benefit costs. Depreciation expense also increased from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007 by $10.6 million. This increase is a result of a full year of depreciation on facilities completed in fiscal year 2006, primarily the Paul D. Coverdell Center and the Tifton Campus Conference Center.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses increased by $39,422,222 for the year which included an increase of $18,290,706 in State Appropriations. The increase in State Appropriations from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007 was due to appropriations for salary increases as well as additional funding formula based state support allocated from the Board of Regents that resulted from student enrollment and credit hour growth that was realized. Capital Gifts and Grants increased from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007 as a result of capital improvements funded by GSFIC which were completed and recognized by the University in fiscal year 2007.
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 had a significant capital asset addition in fiscal year 2007. The Animal Health Research Center was completed, which is the only BSL-3-Ag (biosafety lab-level 3-agriculture) research facility located on a university campus. This project was funded by many sources including the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC).
In October 2006, the University celebrated the 200th birthday and most recent renovation of its most significant building, Old College. The renovation of the University's first permanent building included work that restored and preserved historic features while adding modern amenities.

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

Long Term Debt and Liabilities

The University of Georgia had Long-Term Debt and Liabilities of $202,054,431 of which $26,826,393 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2007.

For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 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 FY2007. Details are available in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16, Component Units.

Economic Outlook

The University continued to monitor and use its resources wisely in fiscal year 2007 as the State of Georgia continued on a path of economic recovery. The University worked to balance the use of modest increases in operating revenues to provide additional support for the instruction, research and public service missions, with the need to provide funding for significant increases

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 6

in energy and health care costs. In an effort to fiscally prepare for such expenditure increases, the University directed each of its academic and administrative units to set aside 2% of its operating budget to manage the risk of unknown additional increases in health care and utility costs. This tactic placed the University in a strong position to not only meet those current year expenditures, but provide for increases in faculty lines and instructional support to help meet the instructional needs of a growing enrollment and to fund new initiatives that include increased access to education at the University campus in Griffin, GA and the graduate center in Gwinnett County. Given the continued pressures of rising energy and health care costs, the University will once again take steps in fiscal year 2008 to maintain a strong financial stance and has directed each of its academic and administrative units to reserve 1% of their current operating budget. As the new fiscal year progresses, the University will monitor and assess the need for this 1% reserve and take appropriate action so to protect the University's ability to provide for existing and new operations.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The University 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 of Georgia is one of thirty-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, The University of Georgia is reporting the activity for the University of Georgia Foundation, the University of Georgia Athletic Association, Inc., the Arch Foundation for the University of Georgia, Inc. and the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 2007 16

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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. Residual values will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $38,487,990 to the University of Georgia and of this amount, $15,079,004 was funded by the University of Georgia.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

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 compensated absences 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. As of July 1, 2006, the University of Georgia's accrued liability for compensated absences was $38,383,532. For fiscal year 2007, $27,073,123 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $25,141,130, for a net increase of $1,931,993. The June 30, 2007 balance in accrued liability for compensated absences was $40,315,525.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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:

Rest rict ed - E& G and Ot her Organized Act ivit ies Federal Loans Inst it ut ional Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

$63,543,343

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

$10,929,517 42,202,720 1,487,000 12,808,445
$67,427,682

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 2007 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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. Auxiliary Parking/Transportation and Health Services revenues of $14,680,993 and $15,959,926, respectively, are reported net of discounts and allowances of $635,176 and $1,417,152, respectively.

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool, managed by the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1 per share. The Georgia Fund 1 Investment Pool is an AAAm rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Fund is 15 days.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University's policy for managing interest rate risk is divided between short-term and long-term investments. Short-term investments will have a maximum maturity of three years and long-term investments will have a maximum maturity of ten years.

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Legal Fund is 4.1 years. Of the University's total investment of $4,616,614 in the Legal Fund, $4,576,911 is invested in debt securities.

Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the University will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The University does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments.

At June 30, 2007, $72,698,754 of the University's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty in the University's name and $1,247,989 were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty's trust department or agent, but not in the University's name.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University's policy for managing credit quality risk focuses in investment of loan and endowment funds which are funded by private sources. For loan and endowment funds, investments should have an average rating of "AAA". All other investments follow Board of Regents investment guidelines.

The investments subject to credit quality risk are reflected below:

Unrat ed $52,620,592

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The University's policy for managing concentration of credit risk is divided between short-term and long-term investments. For short-term investments, certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements should comprises 25-50%, investment in the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services Georgia Fund I should not exceed 50%, and investment in U.S. Treasury obligations or U.S. government agency securities can be 100%. For long-term investment of loan and endowment funds, equities comprise 50-75%, fixed income can range between 25-50%, and cash and cash equivalents will range between 10-25%.

As of June 30, 2007, applicable investments in a single issuer where those investments exceed 5% of total investments were as follows:

Federal National Mortgage Association

20%

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation

10%

Federal Home Loan Bank

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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, 2007 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $676,538.

OPERATING LEASES

The University of Georgia is Lessee under a number of one-year operating leases, which generally provide for four (4) renewal option periods. 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.

Properties are leased for a variety of functions, from farm acreage to office space to parking lots.

Future commitments for capital leases (which here and on the Statement of Net Assets include other installment purchase agreements) and for noncancellable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, were as follows:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

100% 100% 100%

$30,182,072 $29,007,246 $28,398,641

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University of Georgia participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $929,110. The University's total payroll for all employees was $552,239,598.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $111,843, of which $98,268 was made by the University and $13,575 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
The University of Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $11,149,132 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $6,294,889 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 32

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 2007 amounted to $1,817,944 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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.
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 33

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 3,844 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, The University of Georgia recognized as incurred $19,283,736 of expenditures, which was net of $6,745,842 of participant contributions.

Note 16. 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 "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 thirty-six 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $20,115,391 to and on behalf of the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 394 South Milledge Avenue, Athens, GA 30602 or from the Foundation's website at www.ugafoundation.org.
Investments for Component Units:
Investments -- Investments in trust funds and securities with an established market value are carried at market value. The market values for investments are estimated based on quoted market prices for those or similar investments where a market price is available or an amount determined by external investment managers if quoted market prices are not available. Investments in real estate and securities without an established market value are carried at the lower of estimated market value at the date of gift or current market value as estimated by management of the Foundation. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method.
Temporary investments have an original maturity of greater than three months and represent operating funds in excess of immediate cash requirements. The Board of Trustees of the Real Estate Foundation has designated certain temporary investment balances to fund future obligations. As of June 30, 2007, the temporary investment amount included $1,276,600 reserved for debt service.
As of June 30, 2007, the long-term investment pool consists of investments in domestic and international equities (72.6%), fixed income instruments (9.8%), private equity investments
University of Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 36

(4.9%), real estate funds (4.6%), hedge funds (7.2%), timber, gas & oil (0.5%), and deposits (0.4%) that are held by outside investment managers.

Fair value for financial reporting purposes is based on quoted market prices or an amount determined by external investment managers if quoted market prices are not available. Management reviews and evaluates fair value provided by the external investment managers as well as the valuation methods and assessments used in determining the fair value of such investments. Such estimated fair values (amounting to $410,993,738 for investments with estimated fair values based on quoted market prices and $169,695,610 for investments with estimated fair values provided by external investment managers at June 30, 2007) may differ from the ultimate realizable value of the investments, and these differences may be material.

Net realized and unrealized gain on investments include $64,702,427 for investments with estimated fair values based on quoted market prices and $26,483,392 for investments with estimated fair values provided by external investment managers at June 30, 2007.

Investments are comprised of the following amounts at June 30, 2007:

The Bonds are secured by a letter of credit issued by Bank of America, NA in favor of the Authority. The letter of credit expires August 24, 2007, and must be renewed annually. Under the Loan Agreement, the Athletic Association is required to use the proceeds of such loan to fund improvements of certain properties as specified in the Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest payable monthly at a formula rate adjusted daily (3.90% on June 30, 2007). The loan matures in 2035, subject to certain early repayment provisions. The June 30, 2007 remaining obligation for these revenue bonds was $29,500,000.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Athletic Association is a party to interest rate swap agreements that are not recorded in the financial statements. Following are disclosure of key aspects of the agreements.
Objective and Terms - As a means of interest rate management, the Athletic Association entered into three separate interest rate swap transactions with Bank of America, N.A. (the "Counterparty") relating to its variable rate tax-exempt Series 2001 Bonds, tax-exempt Series 2003 Bonds, taxable Series 2005 Bonds and tax-exempt Series 2005B Bonds. Pursuant to an ISDA Master Agreement and Schedule to ISDA Master Agreement each dated as of January 27, 2005 between the Athletic Association and the Counterparty and three Confirmations, the Athletic Association has agreed to pay to the Counterparty a fixed rate of interest in an amount equal to: (1) 3.49% per annum multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2001 Bonds until September 2021; (2) 3.38% per annum multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2003 Bonds until August 2033; (3) 5.05% per annum multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2005 Bonds until July 2021; and (4) 3.483% per annum multiplied by the notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2005B Bonds until August 2033.
In return, the Counterparty has agreed to pay to the Athletic Association a floating rate of interest in an amount equal to: (1) 67% of LIBOR multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2001 Bonds until September 2021; (2) 67% of LIBOR multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2003 Bonds until August 2033; (3) LIBOR multiplied by a notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2005 Bonds until July 2021; and (4) 67% of LIBOR multiplied by the notional amount which is equal to the principal amount of the Series 2005B Bonds until July 2035.
Fair Value The Athletic Association will be exposed to variable rates if the counterparty to a swap defaults or if a swap is terminated. A termination of the swap agreement may also result in the Athletic Association's making or receiving a termination payment
As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement on the 2001 Series Bonds was $848,751, indicating the amount that the counterparty would be required to pay the Athletic Association to terminate the swap agreement.
As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement on the 2003 Series Bonds was $620,162, indicating the amount that the counterparty would be required to pay the Athletic Association to terminate the swap agreement.
As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement on the 2005A Series Bonds was $418,172, indicating the amount that the counterparty would be required to pay the Athletic Association to terminate the swap agreement.
As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement on the 2005B series Bonds was $817,093, indicating the amount that the counterparty would be required to pay the Athletic Association to terminate the swap agreement.

Credit Risk As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the swaps represents the Athletic Association's credit exposure to the Counterparty. Should the Counterparty fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreements, the Athletic Association faces a possible loss equivalent to $6.9 million less the cumulative fair value of $2.7 million. As of June 30, 2007, the Counterparty was rated AAA by Moody's and AA+ by S&P.

Basis Risk The swaps expose the Athletic Association to basis risk. The interest rate on the Series 2001 Bonds, the Series 2003 Bond and the Series 2005B Bonds is a tax-exempt interest rate while the LIBOR basis on the variable rate receipt on the interest rate swap agreements is taxable. Tax-exempt interest rates can change without a corresponding change in the 30 day LIBOR rate due to factors affecting the tax-exempt market which do not have a similar effect on the taxable market. The Athletic Association will be exposed to basis risk under the swaps to the extent that the interest rates on the tax-exempt bonds trades at greater than 67% of LIBOR for extended periods of time. The Athletic Association would also be exposed to tax risk stemming from changes in the marginal income tax rates or those caused by a reduction or elimination in the benefits of tax exemption for municipal bonds.

Termination Risk The interest rate swap agreement uses the International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreement, which includes standard termination events, such as failure to pay and bankruptcy. The Athletic Association or the Counterparty may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the contract. If the swap is terminated, the variable rate bonds would no longer carry a synthetically fixed interest rate. Also, if at the time of termination, the swap has a negative fair value, then the Athletic Association would be liable to the Counterparty for a payment equal to the swap's fair value.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Research Foundation's policy for managing interest rate risk is divided between short-term and long-term investments. Short-term investments will have a maximum maturity of eighteen months to five years depending on type of investment. Longterm investments are managed using a planning timeline of five years or more and overall risk measurements rather than specific maturity limits.
Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the Research Foundation will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in possession of an outside party. The Research Foundation does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments.
At June 30, 2007, $34,446,027 of the Research Foundation's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty in the Research Foundation's name.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The Research Foundation's investment policies specify that fixed income securities be of investment grade. The short-term investment policy specifies that corporate bonds be rated BBB (Standard & Poor's) or Baa (Moody's) or higher; the long-term policy requires a BBB (Standard & Poor's) or Baa3 (Moody's) rating or higher. The investment policy also requires that securities that drop below investment grade should be sold at the manager's discretion; in the event that a rating falls below investment grade, the manager will contact the financial advisor and advise them of the proposed strategy for disposition of the security.
The Research Foundation's investments as of June 30, 2007 are presented below. All investments are presented by investment type and fixed income securities are presented by credit quality ratings.

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an entity's investment in a single issuer. The Research Foundation's policy for managing concentration of credit risk is divided between short-term and long-term investments. For short-term investments, maximum percentages are set for cash and cash equivalents at 15%, asset backed securities at 50% and corporate bonds at 90%, while U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies debt, and certificates of deposit may comprise 100% for the short-term investments. For long-term investment, equities comprise 40-80%, bonds 20-60% and alternative investments can range 0-20%.

As of June 30, 2007, investments in a single issuer where those investments exceed 5% of total investments were as follows:

Federal National Mortgage Association

7%

Core Investment Grade Bond Trust

5%

Government National Mortgage Association

5%

Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment or a deposit. The Research Foundation's investments are not exposed to foreign currency risk as securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are not permissible by the Research Foundation's investment policy.

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 the chief executive officer of the University System. The Board oversees 35 institutions: four research institutions, two regional universities, 13 state universities, seven state colleges, and nine two-year colleges. In addition, one marine research institute is governed by the Board. These institutions enroll nearly 260,000 students and employ more than 9,000 faculty and 35,000 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 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 University System Office. They also are able to determine how much the University System Office 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 System Office. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

University System Office's equity in property, plant and equipment. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is available only for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the University System Office 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 University System Office for any lawful purpose of the University System Office.

The total assets of the University System Office decreased by ($9,276,932), which was primarily due to a decrease in cash and investments related to the Investment Pool. The Short Term Fund experienced a decrease of ($7,490,747) for the year, the Balanced Income Fund an increase of $158,171, the Legal Fund an increase of $49,804, the Total Return Fund a decrease of ($5,413,936) and the Diversified Fund a decrease of ($2,391,920). The fund decreases are primarily related to transfers to the Diversified Fund for Foundations. These decreases were partially offset by a $4,722,637 increase in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation.
The total liabilities for the year decreased by ($16,298,836). Current liabilities decreased ($17,837,216) (10.7%), primarily due to the reduction in the Investment Pool described above in the asset section and a $1,359,404 (38.3%) increase in the current portion of capital lease obligations. Non-current liabilities increased $1,538,380 (6.6%), primarily due to a $1,433,960 (6.3%) increase in the non-current portion of capital lease obligations. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($9,276,932) and the decrease in total liabilities of ($16,298,836) yields an increase in total net assets of $7,021,904. The increase in net assets is primarily related to an increase in restricted, expendable net assets of $2,497,311, due to increased grant activity, an increase in unrestricted net assets of $2,595,320, and an increase in net assets invested in capital assets, net of debt of $1,929,273.

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 University System Office, both operating and non-operating, and the expenses paid by the University System Office, operating and nonoperating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses generated or incurred by the University System Office. Operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the University System Office. Operating expenses are those expenses incurred to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to execute the mission of the University System Office. Nonoperating 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 System Office without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues. Non-operating expense is comprised of items such as interest expense related to capital acquisitions.

Total operating revenue increased $33,653,990 (11.6%) in fiscal year 2007. Grants and contracts revenue increased $5,376,097 (44.4%), primarily due to funding increases in the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, Partnership for Reform in Science and Mathematics (PRISM), US Department of Education (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grants. Sales and service revenues increased $2,365,959 (11.1%), primarily due to increased billings for Oracle ($1,156,019) and PeopleSoft ($1,759,281) related to increased product usage, and was partially offset by decreased billings for GALILEO ($642,668). Other operating revenues increased $25,911,934 (10.1%), primarily due to increased premiums for health insurance related to rising healthcare provider costs.
Non-operating revenues increased $8,217,882 (5.6%), primarily due to a $9,555,336 (6.7%) increase in State Appropriations and an $831,343 (117.4%) increase in investment income, which were partially offset by a $1,514,728 (53.5%) decrease in Library grant non-operating revenue and a $654,069 (97.9%) decrease in other non-operating revenue that was due to a nonrecurring capital transaction that occurred in FY2006.

The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the University System Office. 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 fiscal year 2006, The Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission ("the Commission") transferred to the University System Office other property and equipment located at its tower sites throughout the State through an intergovernmental agreement to the University System Office. In fiscal year 2007, additional land and equipment was transferred to the University System Office under this arrangement. The value of the land and equipment transferred in fiscal year 2007 was $200,000 and $3,730,389, respectively. The total value of the land and equipment transferred is $25,027,755 and the accumulated depreciation is $21,079,602, for a net value of $3,948,153.

The transfer was required for the Commission to obtain the use of five-year, general obligation bonds sold in the University System Office name on behalf of the Commission. The Commission, an authority created after 1967, cannot have bonds sold on its behalf. An intergovernmental agreement has been executed between the Commission and the University System Office that allows the Commission to utilize these funds for the digital conversion of the towers and antennae. The bonds were sold September 7, 2005, and the agreement with the University System Office expires at the end of the five-year period when the bonds are paid in full. All equipment will be transferred back to the ownership of the Commission at the expiration of the intergovernmental agreement.

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

The crediting of premiums to University System of Georgia institutions by action of the Board of Regents to address a mid-year budget reduction in fiscal year 2005 resulted in reduced premium collections in that year, and accounts for the negative net assets balance.

Long Term Debt and Liabilities

The University System Office had long-term debt and liabilities of $31,727,312, of which $6,704,469 was reflected as current liabilities at June 30, 2007.

For additional information concerning Long-Term Debt and Liabilities, see notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Component Units

The University System Office does not have any units that qualify as component units for the purposes of GASB 39 reporting.

Economic Outlook

The University System Office 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 fiscal year 2007 beyond those unknown variations having a global effect on virtually all types of business operations. The University System Office's overall financial position is strong. Even with constrained funding, the University System Office was able to generate a modest increase in net assets. The University System Office expects that fiscal year 2008 will not vary significantly and will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the University System Office's ability to react to internal and external issues that arise.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OFFICE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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. The Board of Regents currently 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 Chancellor is appointed by the Board of Regents as chief executive officer and serves at the pleasure of the Board. The Board oversees 35 institutions (four research institutions, two regional universities, 13 state universities, seven state colleges, and nine two-year colleges), Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and an administrative central office (the University System Office). These institutions enroll nearly 260,000 students and employ more than 9,000 faculty and 35,000 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-five (35) Statesupported, 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 fiscal year
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 12

2007, 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 implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, the University System Office also was required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University System Office's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, and 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 entity 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 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 not to 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 Statement of Revenues,
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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, 2007.
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 at 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 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to review 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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University System Office when complete. For projects managed by the University System Office, the University System Office retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred land and equipment for the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission to the University System Office valued at $200,000 and $3,730,389, respectively.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

Deposits The University System Office had $115 million in Deposits Held for Other Organizations as of June 30, 2007. Deposits held for others consist of the external portion of the University System of Georgia's Pooled Investment Fund program and other funds held by the University System Office as an agent for various governments or individuals.
Deferred Revenues The University System Office had no deferred revenues as of June 30, 2007.
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 compensated absences 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 $2,451,217 as of July 1, 2006. For fiscal year 2007, $2,051,027 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,833,255, for a net increase of $217,771. The ending balance as of June 30, 2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,668,989.
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 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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
Restricted net assets - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net assets consist of endowment and similar type funds wherein donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may be either 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 the Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net assets - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources that the University System Office is legally or contractually obligated to utilize in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Rest rict ed - E& G and Ot her Organized Act ivit ies

June 30, 2007 $10,554,442

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 remitted by the University System Office to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services.

Unrestricted Net Assets includes the following items that 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 first to 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:

Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) sales and services of educational departments, (2) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts, and (3) University System of Georgia's self insurance receipts.

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.

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University System Office's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the University System Office) 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $33,454,763 and the bank balance was $23,289,213. Of the University System Office's deposits, $23,189,213 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $19,346,109 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent in the University System Office's name, $3,702,911 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the University System Office's name and $140,193 were uncollateralized.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

B. Investments
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.
The University System Office maintains investment policy guidelines for each pooled investment fund that is offered to qualified University System participants. These policies are intended to foster sound and prudent judgment in the management of assets to ensure safety of capital consistent with the fiduciary responsibility each institution has to the citizens of Georgia and which conforms to the Board of Regents investment policy. All investments must be consistent with donor intent, Board of Regents policy, and applicable federal and state laws.
Units of the University System of Georgia and their affiliated organizations may participate in the Pooled Investment Fund program. The overall character of the pooled fund portfolio should be one of above average quality, possessing at most an average degree of investment risk.
Short Term Fund The Short Term fund provides a current return and stability of principal while affording a means of overnight liquidity for projected cash needs. The investment maturities of the fund will range between daily and two years.
Legal Fund The Legal fund provides an opportunity for greater income and modest principal growth to the extent possible with the securities allowed under Georgia Code 50-17-59 and 50-17-63. The average maturity of this fund will typically range between five and 10 years, with a maximum of thirty years for any individual investment. The overall character of the portfolio should be one of treasury and agency quality, possessing virtually no degree of financial risk.
Balanced Income Fund The Balanced Income fund is designed to be a vehicle to invest funds that are not subject to the state regulations concerning investing in equities. This fund is comprised of fixed income, equity and cash equivalent instruments.
The equity allocation range shall be between 30% and 40%, with a target of 35% of the total portfolio. The fixed income (bond) portion of the portfolio shall be between 60% and 70%, with a target of 65% of the total portfolio. Reserves for contingencies and stock and bond purchases are expected to comprise the balance of the fund. Reserves and excess income should be invested at all times in practical amounts. Reserves can be invested in high quality institutional money market mutual funds or other high quality, short term instruments.
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Total Return Fund The Total Return fund is another pool designed to be a vehicle to invest funds that are not subject to state regulations concerning investing in equities. This pool offers the greatest percentage of overall equity exposure, with well over half of the funds typically invested in equities.
The equity allocation range shall be between 60% and 70%, with a target of 65% of the total portfolio. The fixed income (bond) portion of the portfolio shall be between 30% and 40%, with a target of 35% of the total portfolio. Reserves for contingencies and stock and bond purchases are expected to comprise the balance of the fund. Reserves and excess income should be invested at all times in practical amounts. Reserves can be invested in high quality institutional money market mutual funds or other high quality, short term instruments.
Diversified Fund The Diversified fund is designed to gain further diversification and increase exposures to assets that have lower correlation to equity and bond markets by utilizing alternative asset classes. In addition, this fund is constructed to build an optimal portfolio where return is increased and risk is reduced.
The equity allocation range shall be between 50% and 75% of the portfolio. The fixed income (bond) portion of the portfolio shall be between 20% and 40%. The portfolio may also consist of Hedge Funds, Real Estate and Venture Capital/Private Equity/Post Venture Capital.
Hedge Funds The investment approach to this asset class is to use a multi-strategy, multimanager fund of hedge funds. The Board of Regents believes that a fund of fund strategy will provide the best access to a highly diversified pool of hedge fund strategies and managers.
Real Estate The Board of Regents' approach to investing in this asset class is to use real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs are more liquid than owning commercial real estate and diversification can be achieved by purchasing a mutual fund.
Venture Capital/Private Equity/Post Venture Capital This asset class is the riskiest and most volatile permitted investment opportunity. This asset should be considered as an additional diversification investment strategy due to the low correlation with stock and bonds.
Reserves for contingencies and stock and bond purchases are expected to comprise the balance of the fund. Reserves and excess income should be invested at all times in practical amounts. Reserves can be invested in high quality institutional money market mutual funds or other high quality, short term instruments.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Board of Regent's policy for managing interest rate risk is contained in the investment policy guidelines for the various pooled investment funds:

1. In the Short Term fund, the average maturity of the fixed income portfolio shall not exceed three years.

2. In all the other pooled funds, the average maturity of the fixed income portfolio shall not exceed ten years.

3. Fixed income investments, except in the Diversified Fund, shall be limited to US government agency and corporate debt instruments that meet investment eligibility under Georgia Code 50-17-63.

4. The fixed income target allocation is defined in the investment policy guidelines for each pooled investment fund. These targets may be modified upon recommendation of the fund's investment manager and approval by the Board of Regents.

University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 20

Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the college/university will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The University System Office's policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments is:
1. The University System Office has appointed a federally regulated banking institution as custodian. The custodian performs its duties to the standards of a professional custodian and is liable to the University System Office for claims, losses, liabilities and expenses arising from its failure to exercise ordinary care, its willful misconduct, or its failure to otherwise act in accordance with the contract.
2. All securities transactions are to be settled on a delivery vs. payment basis through an approved depository institution such as the Depository Trust Company or the Federal Reserve.
3. Repurchase agreements are to be collateralized by United States Treasury securities at 102% of the market value of the investment at all times.
At June 30, 2007, $60,535,432 of the University System Office's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty in the University System Office's name.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University System Office's policy for managing credit quality risk is contained in the investment policy guidelines for the various pooled investment funds:
1. In all pooled funds except the Diversified Fund, all debt issues must be eligible investments under Georgia Code 50-17-63. Portfolios of debt security funds also must meet the eligible investment criteria under the same code section.
2. The Diversified Fund is permitted to invest in non-investment grade debt issues up to a limit of 15% of the entire portfolio.
3. The portfolios shall be well diversified as to issuer and maturity.

The investments subject to credit quality risk are reflected below:

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The University System Office's policy for managing concentration of credit risk is to diversify investments to the extent that any single issuer shall be limited to 5% of the market value in a particular investment fund. The following U.S. Agency investments exceeded 5% of the total reported investment amount as of June 30, 2007:

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% for covered employees. Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

Fiscal Year

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$1,787,733 $1,657,223 $1,575,446

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description The University System Office participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing, multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 University System Office's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $390,602. The University System Office's total payroll for all employees was $23,657,187.
For the year ended June 30, 2007, under the old plan member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University System Office amounted 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 2007 amounted to $46,699, of which $40,840 was made by the University System Office and $5,859 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, 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $236,863 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $134,096 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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.
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 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
University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 29

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 2007 amounted to $16,724, which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 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 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. All claims submitted by program participants are remitted directly to Blue Cross Blue Shield from various organizational units for verification of coverage, processing and payment through a bank account maintained for this purpose by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Blue Cross Blue Shield maintains an eligibility file based on information furnished by the various organizational units of the University System of Georgia. In addition to the two different selfinsured 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.
Express Scripts is the administrator of the Board of Regents' prescription drug plan. Pharmacy drug claims will be processed in accordance with guidelines established for the Board of Regents' Prescription Drug Benefit Program. Generally, claims are submitted by participating pharmacies directly to Express Scripts for verification, processing and payment. Express Scripts maintains an eligibility file based on information furnished by Blue Cross Blue Shield on behalf of the various organizational units of the University System of Georgia.

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 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 13. 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

University System Office Annual Financial Report FY 2007 31

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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 76 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the University System Office recognized as incurred $316,055 of expenditures, which was net of participant contributions of $140,291.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Valdosta State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.

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.

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 $16,774,795. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $14,561,393 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in receivable categories.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $14,561,787. The combination of the increase in total assets of $16,774,795 and the increase in total liabilities of $14,561,787 yields an increase in total net assets of $2,213,008. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Debt in the amount of $1,289,866.

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.

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Operating revenues increased by $8,682,946 in fiscal 2007. Tuition increased approximately 5%, and University students approved a new Mandatory Fee for construction of a Multi-Use stadium. Other Mandatory fees increased as well with approval of University students.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $3,916,405 is a result of the changing environment of residential life and food services on the University's campus. During the year, Housing reopened 287 beds of renovated housing on campus in a construction and leasing relationship with VSU Foundation Real Estate II, LLC. The net effect to the campus is that the students actually have more on-campus housing availability. The University also privatized its food service operations during the year. The Contractor increased food choices for students and as a result, participation as well as costs increased.
Non-operating revenues increased by $3,826,119 for the year primarily due to an increase of $1,646,934 in State Appropriations as well as significant increases in Investment Income.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,293,018 and primarily affected the Instruction, Academic Support and Institutional Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of faculty and staff positions, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Utilities moderately increased by $20,226 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased natural gas costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by 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.

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 continues to move toward its strategic goals incorporating planning and realizing efficiencies in operations whenever possible. 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.

VALDOSTA STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, Valdosta State University is reporting the activity for the Valdosta State University Foundation, Inc. Consolidated, which includes the activities of the Valdosta State University Foundation, the Valdosta State University Real Estate I, LLC, and the Valdosta State University Real Estate II, LLC.
See Note 16, 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
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool 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 grants 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.
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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $130,874 to Valdosta State University.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 $2,690,739 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $2,372,700 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $2,148,962, for a net increase of $223,738. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,914,477.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

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:

$2,574,682 10,047
332,179 889,044 117,877 $3,923,829

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.

June 30, 2007
$1,643,179 5,439,326 338,131 728,482
$8,149,118

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.

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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.
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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 non-operating 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 scholarship allowances.
In prior financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of scholarship allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in Fiscal year 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises approximately 20% of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007 (the remainder is made up of Institutional Loans). 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/or assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. At June 30, 2007, no provision has been made for uncollectible loans.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$2,947,248 $2,878,308 $2,805,356

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description Valdosta State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $28,054. The University's total payroll for all employees was $57,821,714.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $3,341, of which $2,920 was made by the University and $421 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, 2007 financial report, which may be obtained through ERS.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Valdosta State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,795,981 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $1,013,542 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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 2007 amounted to $79,021 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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 selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 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.
Valdosta State University Annual Financial Report FY 2007 29

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 13. 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 376 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Valdosta State University recognized as incurred $1,792,769 of expenditures, which was net of $673,499 of participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Valdosta State University Foundation, Inc. (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 thirty-one 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. 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. Because the University's fiscal year end is June 30, the amounts reported as due to or due from the related entities do not agree.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Foundation distributed $1,976,418 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Administrative Office at 102 Georgia Avenue, Valdosta, Georgia 31698.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Waycross College is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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.

Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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.

The total assets of the institution decreased by ($6,087). A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ($195,332) in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the decrease is mainly in receivable categories. The decreases were offset by increases in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Inventories, and 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 increased by $214,530. The combination of the decrease in total assets of ($6,087) and the increase in total liabilities of $214,530 yields a decrease in total net assets of ($220,617). The decrease in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of ($195,332).

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 $421,821 in fiscal 2007. Most categories of operating revenues experienced an increase with Tuition & Fees showing the largest increase of $235,579. Revenues decreased in Sales and Services and Rents and Royalties.
The Auxiliary revenue increase of $48,970 is a result of the increase in enrollment reflected in the growth in headcount, and FTE.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

Non operating revenues and expenses increased by $193,699 for the year primarily due to an increase in gift revenue, investment income and a slight increase of $16,830 in State Appropriations.

The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $67,739. The increase reflects, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution. The decrease in faculty salaries is due to reducing the number of academic divisions from four to two.

Utilities increased by $16,761 during the past year. The increase was primarily associated with the increased electricity costs that were experienced in the winter of fiscal year 2007 and affected the Plant Operations and Maintenance category. The increase in supplies and other services by $432,789 reflects several campus renovation projects, cost of a new phone system and replacement of instructional and computer lab equipment.

Statement of Cash Flows

The final statement presented by 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.

Capital Assets The College began several renovation projects in fiscal year 2007. An MRR Project, the Upgrade and Repair to HVAC Systems began in May and will be completed early in FY 2008. Renovations to the Administrative Building and the Dye Student Services Building will enlarge one classroom and add an outside entrance to a second making them both more accessible to students. Contracts were also awarded to add street lighting along a new access road completed early in the year and to upgrade and add lighting to our Tennis Courts.

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 experienced excellent growth this year after experiencing several years of stagnant enrollment. With this increase came additional funding that made improvements possible. The College anticipates the current fiscal year will again enjoy enrollment growth and be much like last. We will maintain a close watch over resources to maintain the College's ability to react to unknown internal and external issues. David A. Palmer, President Waycross College

WAYCROSS COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
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-five (35) 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) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the College's report. For FY2007, Waycross College is reporting the activity for Waycross College Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the 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 predominant 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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.
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.
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 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the College when complete. For projects managed by the College, the College retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Waycross College.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students. Waycross College does not require student deposits.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 $198,961 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $147,166 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $168,129, for a net decrease of ($20,963). The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $177,998.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Restricted - E&G and Other Organized Activities Total Restricted Expendable

June 30, 2007
$109,015 $109,015

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$196,194 598,338 11,888 (96,973)
$709,447

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:

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.

Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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.
Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

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.

At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $1,093,213 and the bank balance was $1,190,654. Of the College's deposits, $1,090,654 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $1,090,654 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the College's name.

Investment Pools Board of Regents Short-Term Fund Legal Fund Diversified Fund
Total Investment Pools

$41,277 79,126
210,327
$330,730

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of 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. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Administrative Central Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.state.ga.us/internet/searchRpts.html.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The College does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Short Term Fund is 2.24 years. Of the College's total investment of $41,277 in the Short Term Fund, $41,120 is invested in debt securities.

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Legal Fund is 4.1 years. Of the College's total investment of $79,126 in the Legal Fund, $78,446 is invested in debt securities.

Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 19

The Weighted Average Maturity of the Diversified Fund is 8.86 years. Of the College's total investment of $210,327 in the Diversified Fund, $53,823 is invested in debt securities.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The College does not have a formal policy for managing credit quality risk since all investments are in the Board of Regents Investment Pool. As previously stated, the Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated.

Note 11. 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 TRS offices or 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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.

Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 23

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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months 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 $72,182 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $40,591 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
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 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 2007 amounted to $4,149 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.

Note 12. 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 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. 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 13. 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.
Waycross College Annual Financial Report FY 2007 25

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, 2007. Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 24 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, Waycross College recognized as incurred $110,981 of expenditures, which was net of $45,571 in participant contributions.

Note 16. Component Units

Waycross College Foundation, Inc. (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 one 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. The FASB reports were reclassified to the GASB presentation for external financial reporting purposes in these financial statements. The Foundation's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Foundation distributed $85,555 to the College for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Foundation Office at 2001 South Georgia Parkway, Waycross, GA 31503.

UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
University of West Georgia is one of the 35 institutions of higher education of the University System of Georgia. 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. The wide range of educational opportunities offered by the University attracts a highly qualified faculty and a student body of more than 10,000 students each year. In general we continue to grow, as shown by the year to year comparison numbers that follow.
University of West Georgia (UWG) offers a range of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and professional programs at the baccalaureate level. There are 114 programs of study, including 60 at the Bachelors level, 52 at the Masters and Specialists level, and two Doctoral programs. During the 2004 fiscal year, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) reaffirmed UWG's accreditation for 10 years based on the February 2003 accreditation visit. In addition, the University has achieved national recognition in several areas including academic debate, faculty-directed student research and athletic competition.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
University of West Georgia is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2007. 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 2007 and FY 2006.
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 University of West Georgia. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-of-year
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 1

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.

$71,105,962

The total assets of the institution increased by $64,166,227. A review of the Statement of Net Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $59,444,791 in the category of Capital Assets, net. The balance of the increase is mainly in cash and cash equivalents, which is being held for current liabilities due in the following period.
The total liabilities for the year increased by $63,984,401, which is due primarily to the $62,769,769 increase in capital lease obligations attributable to two housing projects and the Campus Center project. The combination of the increase in total assets of $64,166,227 and the increase in total liabilities of $63,984,401 yields an increase in total net assets of $181,826. The

University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 2

increase in total net assets is primarily due to a decrease in Invested in Capital Assets, net of debt, in the amount of ($3,134,181) and an increase in Unrestricted Net Assets of $3,334,917.

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 $5,938,963 in fiscal 2007. Although Tuition & Fees included a small percentage increase, revenues increased in Grants and Contracts and Auxiliary categories.

University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 4

The Auxiliary revenue increase of $2,595,965 was generated by an increase in Food Service revenue of $1,171,383 as a result of moving to a seven day meal plan; Residence Hall revenue increased $650,556 as a result of rate increases and a slight increase in housing contracts; Parking and Transportation revenue increased by $239,301 as a result of raising the transportation fee by $20 to build a new parking lot; Bookstore revenue increased $366,466 as a result of capturing more sales and increasing used book inventory; and all other auxiliary services generated another $168,259.
Net non-operating revenues and expenses increased by $72,081 for the year primarily due to an increase of $2,104,181 in State Appropriations, an increase in Interest Expense (Capital Assets) of $2,695,186 and an increase in Investment Income, Gifts and other items of $663,086.
The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $3,798,359 and primarily affected the Instruction, Academic Support and Institutional Support categories. The increase reflects the addition of faculty members, merit increases and an increased cost of health insurance for the employees of the institution.
Student Services decreased by ($392,340) due to the reclassification of the Campus Center lease from operating lease to capital lease.
The decrease in Plant Operations and Maintenance is due to a one year increase (2006) in contracted services
Unallocated Expenses is unallocated depreciation and will fluctuate from year to year.
Statement of Cash Flows
The final statement presented by the 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.

UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations University of West 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 University of West Georgia is one of thirty-five (35) 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 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. University of West Georgia does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, 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 University of West Georgia) implemented GASB Statement No. 39 Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units - an amendment of Statement No. 14, in 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 (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets) are reported discretely in the University's report. For FY2007, University of West Georgia is reporting the activity for the University of West Georgia Foundation, Inc. and the University of West Georgia Real Estate Foundation, Inc.
See Note 16, 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 implemented GASB
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 13

Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide 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 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 Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, the Board of Regents Total Return Fund, the Board of Regents Diversified Fund, and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments.
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 14

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 grants 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/or 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 will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
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 projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2007, GSFIC transferred no capital additions to University of West Georgia.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 15

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 compensated absences 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 of West Georgia had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $2,400,515 as of 7-1-2006. For FY2007, $1,831,452 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $1,611,609, for a net increase of $219,843. The ending balance as of 6-30-2007 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $2,620,358.
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 previously in Note 1 Capital Assets section.
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.
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 16

Expendable Restricted Net Assets include the following:

Federal Loans Inst it ut ional Loans T ot al Rest rict ed Expendable

June 30, 2007
$1,861,681 271,741
$2,133,422

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 Invent ory Ot her Unrest rict ed T ot al Unrest rict ed Net Asset s

June 30, 2007
$7,083,765 4,640,489 126,057 (3,809,153)
$8,041,158

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 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:

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

University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 17

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. Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances 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 scholarship allowances. In prior year financial statements, a portion of tuition and fee waivers granted by the University were reported within the Tuition and Fees revenue line item instead of Scholarship Allowances. Because of this difference in reporting tuition and fee waivers in fiscal 2007, comparison with prior year financial statements at the Net Tuition and Fees level will result in a better gauge of the year over year change.
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 18

Note 2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the 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, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness 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 and 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.
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.
At June 30, 2007, the carrying value of deposits was $5,849,465 and the bank balance was $7,447,841. Of the University's deposits, $7,147,741 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $7,147,741 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution, by its trust department or agency, but not in the University's name.

Note 5. Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2007. 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 deemed that no allowance is needed for uncollectible loans as of June 30, 2007.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia

Plan Description 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 TRS offices or from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.

Funding Policy Employees of University of West Georgia who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. 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 2007, the employer contribution rate was 9.28% 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

2007 2006 2005

100% 100% 100%

$2,372,082 $2,242,017 $2,177,219

Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
Plan Description University of West Georgia participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-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 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 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 University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2007, for employees covered by ERS was $78,576. The University's total payroll for all employees was $51,850,380.
For the year ended June 30, 2007 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. 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 both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted 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 2007 amounted to $9,408, of which $8,230 was made by the University and $1,178 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, 2007 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 West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 27

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 from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) 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 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 2007, the employer contribution was 9.66% for the first six months and 8.13% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
University of West Georgia and the covered employees made the required contributions of $1,895,333 (9.66% or 8.13%) and $1,059,890 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description 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 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
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 28

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 2007 amounted to $64,706 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 12. 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. 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 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. 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 performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
University of West Georgia Annual Financial Report FY 2007 29

Note 13. 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 University of West Georgia expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against 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, 2007.
Note 14. 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, 2007, there were 351 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2007, University of West Georgia recognized as incurred $1,564,732 of expenditures, which was net of $497,376 of participant contributions.

The Foundation board consists of approximately forty 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 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. 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, 2006 through December 31, 2006.
Investments carried as leases receivable are valued at $53 million and the associated long-term debt of $33.2 million are included in the financial statements of the Foundation. The corresponding buildings and associated capital leases are included in the University's report. Note 10 of this financial report provides information on related party leases.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Foundation distributed $1,547,361 to the University for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the Office of Development and Alumni Services at 1901 Maple Street, Carrollton, Georgia 30118.
Prior Year Adjustment: A prior year adjustment was necessary to correct an error in the accounting of a capital lease. In the prior year, the lease was accounted for as an operating lease when it should have been treated as a capital lease. The net effect of the change was to increase beginning net assets by $5,226,359.
Investments for Component Units:
University of West Georgia Foundation, Inc. holds endowment and other investments in the amount of $20.6 million. The corpus of the endowment portion is nonexpendable, but the earnings on the investment may be expended as restricted by the donors. University of West Georgia Foundation, Inc. in conjunction with the donors, has established a spending plan whereby up to 5% of the adjusted corpus balance at year end may be used for academic scholarships. The remaining amount is retained in each endowment account.
