Further, the officers of the various institutions of the University System of Georgia and its affiliated organizations have assured us that every effort has been made to reflect accurately the information considered important to all concerned parties.

Members of the Board of Regents
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia was created in 1931 as a part of a reorganization of Georgia's state government.

The governor appoints members to the Board, who each serve seven years; regents may be reappointed to subsequent terms by a sitting governor. Regents donate their time and expertise to serve the state through their governance of the University System of Georgia the positions are voluntary ones without financial remuneration. Today the Board of Regents is composed of 19 members, five of whom are appointed from the state-at-large, and one from each of the 14 congressional districts. The Board elects a chancellor who serves as its chief executive officer and the chief administrative officer of the University System.
The Board oversees the 30 colleges and universities that comprise the University System of Georgia, and has oversight of the Georgia Archives and the Georgia Public Library System.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities and the aggregate remaining fund information of the University System of Georgia, which is an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the University System of Georgia's basic financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the University System of Georgia's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 5

the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University System of Georgia's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinions

In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business-type activities and aggregate remaining fund information of the University System of Georgia as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the University System of Georgia are intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows of only that portion of the business-type activities of the State of Georgia that is attributable to the transactions of the University System of Georgia. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the State of Georgia as of June 30, 2015, the changes in its financial position or its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2015, the University System of Georgia adopted new accounting guidance, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, GASB
Statement No. 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations and GASB
Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68. The University System of Georgia restated beginning Net Position for the cumulative effect of these accounting changes which had a significant impact on the University System of Georgia's financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the University System of Georgia restated beginning balances resulting from the correction of accounting errors that occurred in the prior period. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the University System of Georgia also restated beginning balances for the inclusion of the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan as a Fiduciary Fund. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 8 through 19 and the Schedule of Contributions for Defined Benefit Pension Plans, Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability, Schedule of Employers' and Nonemployers' Net Pension Liability, Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedule of Investment Returns, Notes to Required Supplementary Information and Schedule of Funding Progress and Employer Contributions for Other Postemployment Benefits on pages 80 through 86 be presented to supplement the basic financial l

statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquires of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of the University System of Georgia. The accompanying Introductory and Supplementary Information Sections, as listed in the accompanying table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The accompanying supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information, except for the portion marked "unaudited" on which we express no opinion, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting or other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Respectfully,

GSG:jbt

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction
The mission of the University System of Georgia (USG) is achieved through the collective missions of our state's public colleges and universities. The role of public higher education in Georgia is to drive economic development and produce more educated individuals contributing to a better quality of life in the state. USG institutions are responsible for producing graduates with the requisite skills and knowledge to ensure Georgia's strong future in a knowledge-based and global economy. The individual mission and function of each institution within the USG must be aligned with the overall USG mission in order to strategically meet the higher education needs of the State.
This discussion and analysis provides a summary of the financial position of the USG for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. It will provide the user with an overview of how the USG utilized its resources in pursuit of its primary goals of instruction, research and public service.
The Board of Regents and Chancellor Henry M. "Hank" Huckaby are charged with the leadership of the thirty institutions of the USG. The USG continues to prosper, as is demonstrated by the following information:

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
The USG is proud to present its consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2015. These statements contain information from the thirty institutions of the USG and the University System Office (USO). Each institution has prepared a separate annual financial report that is available upon request.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 9

The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. There are three consolidated financial statements presented: the Statement of Net Position, the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, and the Statement of Cash Flows.

This discussion and analysis provides an overview of the financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2014. However, the comparative data for fiscal year 2014 does not reflect the effects of the restatement of July 1, 2014 net position. This restatement is predominately related to the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date which were adopted by the University System of Georgia for fiscal year 2015. The provisions of these Statements established accounting and financial reporting standards for pensions that are provided to employees of state and local governmental employers through pension plans that are administered through trusts. Implementation of these Statements resulted in a decrease to beginning Net Position at July 1, 2014 of $2,411,507,165 of which $2,588,020,417 represented Net Pension Liability, $183,599,719 represented deferred outflows and $7,086,467 represented pension asset. In addition, the University System of Georgia increased Net Position for corrections of prior year errors of $9,027,776 and decreased Net Position related to the re-evaluation of capital assets and capital lease agreements between the University of West Georgia and Georgia College & State University and their respective foundations for $1,606,188. See Note 1 Restatement for additional information.

Fiduciary fund statements for the Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Fund, the Early Retirement Plan Georgia Regents University and the USG Pension Trust Fund 457(f) Deferred Compensation Plan are also included with the financial statements noted above: the Combined Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and the Combined Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position.

During the fiscal year, the University System of Georgia began actively managing the Section 457(f) deferred compensation plan. By taking on an active management role, the University System of Georgia assumed fiduciary accountability for the plan and the University System of Georgia holds the assets in a trustee capacity. The University System of Georgia has accordingly restated the June 30, 2014 Fiduciary Net Position. See Note 1 Restatement for additional information.

The Notes to the Financial Statements immediately follow the consolidated and combined fiduciary fund statements, and contain essential information that serves both to support and clarify the information presented in the financial statements preceding them.

The Required Supplementary Information section contains additional information related to the Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Fund, the Early Retirement Plan Georgia Regents University and the Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability and the Schedule of Contributions for retirement plans for which the USG and its institutions participates as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Finally, the Supplementary Information section includes selected information by institution as well as information on affiliated organizations that have been deemed significant to their respective institutions. This section also includes consolidated financial statements presented on a statutory/budget basis.

This discussion and analysis of the USG's consolidated financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the fiscal year. Further information is provided by comparative data for fiscal 2015 and 2014.
Statement of Net Position
The Statement of Net Position presents the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and net position of the USG as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Position is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the statement is to present to the reader a fiscal snapshot of the USG. The Statement of Net Position presents data concerning Assets (property that we own and what we are owed by others), Deferred Outflows of Resources (consumption of net position by the USG that is applicable to future reporting periods), Liabilities (what we owe to others and have collected from others before we have provided the service), Deferred Inflows of Resources (acquisition of net position by the USG that is applicable to future reporting periods), and Net Position. It is prepared under the accrual basis of accounting, which requires revenue and asset recognition when the service is provided, and expense and liability recognition when goods or services are received despite when cash is actually exchanged.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Position are able to determine the assets available to continue operations of the USG. They are also able to determine how much the USG owes vendors and investors. The difference between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources (net position) is one indicator of the USG's financial health when considered in conjunction with other nonfinancial conditions, such as facilities and environment.
Net position is divided into three major categories. The first category, net investment in capital assets, provides the USG's equity in property, plant and equipment owned. The next category is restricted, which is divided into two categories, non-expendable and expendable. Restricted, nonexpendable net position consists solely of the USG's permanent endowment funds, which are available only for investment purposes. The corpus of non-expendable, restricted resources is available only for investment purposes. Restricted, expendable resources are available for expenditure, however, expenditure of these resources is limited to time or purpose restrictions placed on the assets by the donor and/or external third parties. The final category is unrestricted resources, which are available to the USG for any lawful purpose.
The USG's financial position at June 30, 2015 is very strong, with total assets of $11.907 billion, deferred outflows of $238 million, total liabilities of $8.201 billion, deferred inflows of $1.065 billion, and net position of $2.879 billion.
Assets and Deferred Outflows
Total assets and deferred outflows of the USG in fiscal 2015 were approximately $636 million more than those reported for fiscal 2014. A review of the Statement of Net Position will reveal that the increase primarily was due to an increase of $429 million in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and a $235 million increase in deferred outflows related to the implementation of GASB 68.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 11

Liabilities and Deferred Inflows
Total liabilities and deferred inflows for fiscal 2015 were approximately $2.916 billion more than those reported for fiscal 2014. The primary components of this increase were the recognition of the Net Pension Liability of $1.914 billion and $643 million in deferred gain on defined benefit pension plans associated with the implementation of the new pension standards and a $320 million increase in the Net Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) obligation.
Net Position
The combination of the increase in total assets and deferred outflows of $636 million and the increase in total liabilities and deferred inflows of $2.916 billion yielded a net decrease in total net position of $2.2 billion, or -44.2%. The decrease in total net position was primarily associated with the restatement of net position due to the adoption of GASB 68 in Unrestricted net resources. The following chart depicts the level, by category, of net position:

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents the revenues received and expenses incurred during the year. Activities are reported as either operating or non-operating. Changes in total net position as presented on the Statement of Net Position are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the USG, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the USG, operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains or losses received or spent by the USG.

Generally, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the USG. 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 USG. 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 USG without the legislature directly receiving commensurate goods or services for those revenues. State capital grants and gifts and other capital grants and gifts are considered neither operating nor non-operating revenues and are reported after "Income before other revenues, expenses, gains or losses".

The third section summarizes cash flows from capital and related financing activities and contains cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section is comprised of the cash flows from investing activities and includes the purchases, proceeds and interest received from investing activities. The fifth, and final, section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss as reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position.

As noted in the Long-Term Debt and Liabilities section above, the USG carries a net OPEB Obligation liability of $2.163 billion as of June 30, 2015. The Board of Regents continues to evaluate options to reduce this growing liability.
For additional information concerning the Retiree Health Benefit Fund, please refer to note 15 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Early Retirement Pension Plan Fund Georgia Regents University
Georgia Regents University Early Retirement Pension Plan (ERP) is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by Bryan, Pendleton, Swats and McAlister. The plan was devised by Georgia Regents University as a means of manpower reduction and was approved by the Board of Regents of the USG of Georgia effective January 1, 2000.
For additional information concerning the Early Retirement Pension Fund, please refer to note 14 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Affiliated Organizations
System-wide, there were nineteen affiliated organizations that met one or more criteria for inclusion as component units of the State of Georgia in compliance with GASB Statement No. 39. These organizations are included in the supplementary information section. Eleven of these affiliated organizations are reported in the State Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) as discretely presented component units for fiscal 2015 and eight of these affiliated organizations are reported as blended in the CAFR in compliance with GASB Statement No. 61.
Economic Outlook
An enhanced focus on ensuring that students can afford and earn degrees has resulted in an increased emphasis on restructuring public higher education in Georgia to work more efficiently and effectively. The USG is committed to timely and thorough review of programs, services and policies for currency and relevance. Additionally, the USG and its institutions are committed to measuring performance and being accountable for its decisions. Global economic indicators reveal that in the near future, two-thirds of the workforce will require post-secondary credentials to compete for jobs.

Page 18

Preparing Georgia for the future requires an increase in the number of Georgians who have degrees. In order to continue to be competitive globally, Georgia needs to increase the number of Georgians with degrees from the current level of 42 percent of the population to a targeted 60 percent of the population by 2025. This positive movement can be attributed to implementing strategies, ranging from new teaching methods, to better advising, to giving credit for experiential learning. Predictions for Georgia's workforce needs for 2025 are significant. In 2011, the USG graduated 54,855 students. The USG has been working to increase that number year-over year, and this year, surpassed 60,000 students graduating from USG institutions reflecting a 10% increase over the past four years. The USG still has a long way to reach its goal of graduating 80,000 students a year, but is confident about the progress made and believes it is on track to achieving the goal.
The consolidation of ten institutions into five new ones has been successfully completed. The consolidation of Georgia State University and Georgia Perimeter College is in the final stages which will result in a total student population at Georgia State University that tops 53,000. Additionally, another consolidation of two institutions is in the preliminary stages. This will allow more funding to be shifted from administration to the classroom following the USG's strategic plan of being committed to pursuing operational efficiencies and being a model steward of resources.
As a labor-intensive organization, the USG faces competitive pressures related to attracting and retaining quality faculty and staff. As is the case nationally, the USG also faces the rising costs of health-care benefits, but will continue to take proactive measures to mitigate these rising costs.
A key component of the USG's success and future is the strong relationship with Governor Deal and the Georgia General Assembly. Due to their support, and the excellent leadership of the Board of Regents and Chancellor Huckaby, the USG will continue to progress in remaining affordable and maintaining access, while protecting the academic enterprise for the citizens of the State of Georgia.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2015

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations The University System of Georgia (USG) 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 As defined by Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A) 20-3-50, the USG is comprised of thirty (30) State-supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia and the University System Office (USO). Summarized business-type activity financial statements for each State-supported member institution of higher education in Georgia and the USO are included in the Supplementary Information.
The USO is the custodian of the Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Fund and the IRS 457f Deferred Compensation Fund. Georgia Regents University, an organizational unit of the USG, is custodian of the Early Retirement Plan.
The USG is an organizational unit of the State of Georgia under the governance of the Board of Regents (Board). The Board has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. The Board is composed of 19 members, one member from each congressional district in the state and five additional members from the state-at-large, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Members of the Board serve a seven year term and members may be reappointed to subsequent terms by a sitting governor.
The USG is included within the State of Georgia's basic financial statements as a part of the primary government as defined in section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
Legally separate, tax-exempt organizations whose activities primarily support the USG are considered potential component units of the State. See Note 20, Affiliated Organizations, for additional information.
Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the USG's assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, deferred inflows, net position, revenues, expenses, changes in net position and cash flows.
The USG's business-type activities and fiduciary fund financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 32

accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year in which eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. All significant intraUniversity System transactions have been eliminated.
USG reports the following Fiduciary Fund:
Pension and Other Post-Employee Benefit Trust Funds Account for the activities of the Early Retirement, the Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Fund and the IRS 457f Deferred Compensation Fund.
New Accounting Pronouncements In fiscal year 2015, the USG adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. The provisions of this Statement establish accounting and financial reporting standards for pensions that are provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers through pension plans that are administered through trusts. Implementation of this statement requires a restatement to beginning net position. The adoption of this statement has a significant impact on the USG's financial statements.
In fiscal year 2015, the USG adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations. This statement provides specific accounting and financial reporting guidance for combinations in the governmental environment. This statement also requires that disclosures be made by governments about combination arrangements in which they engage and for disposals of government operations. The adoption of this statement does not have a significant impact on the USG's financial statements.
In fiscal year 2015, the USG adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date an amendment of GASB No. 68. The objective of this statement is to improve accounting and financial reporting by addressing an issue in Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, concerning transition provisions related to certain pension contributions made to defined benefit pension plans prior to implementation of statement. This statement amends paragraph 137 of Statement No. 68 which limited recognition of pension-related deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources at the transition to circumstances in which it is practical to determine the amounts of all deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions.
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.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 33

Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days 13 months. These 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 Investments include financial instruments with terms in excess of 13 months, certain other securities for the production of revenue, land, and other real estate held as investments by endowments. The USG accounts for its investments at fair value. 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 Position. 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 as 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 whom reside in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from federal, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the USG'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 Position.
Prepaid Items Payments made to vendors and state and local government organizations for services that will benefit periods beyond June 30, 2015 are recorded as prepaid items.
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 USG'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, which also includes amortization of intangible assets such as water, timber, and mineral rights, easements, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as software, 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.

Page 34

To fully understand plant additions in the USG, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) an organization that is external to the USG. 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. Bond proceeds received by GSFIC are used to fund construction projects on behalf of USG institutions. For construction projects managed by GSFIC, GSFIC retains construction-in-progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the applicable college or university when complete. See Note 6, Capital Assets, for additional information.
Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred outflows of resources consist of the consumption of net assets by an institution that are applicable to a future reporting period.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in institutional residence halls.
Advances Advances 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. Advances also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Deposits Held for Other Organizations Deposits held for other organizations result primarily from the USG acting as an agent, or fiduciary, for another entity. Deposits held for others consist of affiliate organizations' portion of the University System of Georgia's Pooled Investment Fund program and scholarships, fellowships, study abroad deposits and other funds held for various governments, companies, clubs or individuals.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at the end of the fiscal year for financial statement purposes. The liability and expense incurred are recorded at the end of the fiscal year as compensated absences in the Statement of Net Position, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position.
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 non-current assets.
Deferred Inflows of Resources Deferred inflows of resources consist of the acquisition of net assets by an institution that are applicable to a future reporting period.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 35

Net Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Obligation The net OPEB obligation represents the cumulative difference between the actuarially determined annual required contribution and the amount actually contributed by the USG.

The financial statements of the OPEB plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Employer contributions are recognized in the period in which they are due. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Pensions and Net Pension Liability The net pension liability represents the unfunded pension obligation which is the difference between the total pension obligation as a result of the exchange for employee services for compensation and the fiduciary net position or the fair value of the plan assets as of a given measurement date.

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position, additions to/deductions from fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia and Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Service Concession Arrangements Service concession agreements are arrangements between a government (transferor, one of our institutions) and a third party (operator) in which all of the following criteria are met:

a. The institution conveys to the operator the right and obligation to provide public services through the use and operation of a capital asset in exchange for significant consideration. Significant consideration could be in the form of up-front payments, installment payments, a new facility or improvements to existing facility. b. The operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties. c. The institution has the ability to modify or approve what services the operator is required to provide, to whom services are provided, and prices or rates that can be charged for those services. d. The institution is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the asset at the end of the arrangement.

Net Position The University System of Georgia's net position is classified as follows:

Net Investment in capital assets: This represents the USG'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 net investment in capital assets. 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 nonexpendable includes endowments 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

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 36

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. For Institution-controlled, donor-restricted endowments, the by-laws of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia permits each individual Institution to use prudent judgment in the spending of current realized and unrealized endowment appreciation. Donor-restricted endowment appreciation is periodically transferred to restricted expendable accounts for expenditure as specified by the purpose of the endowment. Each University/College maintains pertinent information related to each endowment fund including donor; amount and date of donation; restrictions by the source of limitations; limitations on investments, etc.
Restricted - expendable: includes resources in which the USG is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions by external third parties.
Unrestricted represents 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 USG, 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 Office of the State Treasurer. Unrestricted Net Position also includes resources specifically designated by the Board, such as:
Auxiliary Enterprises Operations - These resources are used for the continued operation of auxiliary enterprise activities, which are substantially self-supporting business operations conducted on campuses that provide services to students, faculty, and staff.
Auxiliary Enterprises Renewals and Replacement (R&R) Reserve These resources can be used for renewals and replacement of capitalizable assets. This R&R reserve can also be used for capitalizable expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset (e.g. add a new roof, major renovation) or improves its usefulness/performance.
Capital Liability Reserve Fund (Fund) The Fund was established by the Board to protect the fiscal integrity of the University System of Georgia (USG), to maintain the strongest possible credit ratings associated with Public Private Venture (PPV) projects and to ensure that the USG can effectively support its long-term capital lease obligations. The Fund is financed by all USG institutions participating in the PPV program. The Fund serves as a pooled reserve that is managed by the USO. The Fund shall only be used to address significant shortfalls and only insofar as a requesting USG institution is unable to make the required PPV capital lease payment to the designated affiliated organization. The Fund will continue as long as the USG has rental obligations under the PPV program and at the conclusion of the program, funds will be returned to the contributing institution.
When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, USG's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
See Note 10, Net Position, for additional information.

Income Taxes The USG, 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 and Expenses The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position classifies fiscal year activity as operating and non-operating according to the following criteria:
Operating revenue includes activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of scholarship allowances, (2) certain federal, state and local grants and contracts, and (3) sales and services.
Non-operating revenue includes activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as non-operating revenue 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.
Operating expense includes activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions.
Non-operating expense includes activities that have the characteristics of non-exchange transactions, such as capital financing costs and costs related to investment activity.
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 Position. Scholarship allowances are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the USG, 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 USG'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.
Restatement of Prior Year Net Position The University System of Georgia made the following restatements related to business-type activities:
For fiscal year 2015, the University System of Georgia made prior period adjustments due to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and (GASB) Statement 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date, which require the restatement of the June 30, 2014, Net Position. The result is a decrease in Net Position at July 1, 2014 of $2,411,507,165 of which $2,588,020,417 represented net pension liability, $183,599,719 represented deferred outflows and 7,086,467 represented pension assets at implementation. This change is in accordance with general accepted accounting principles.

In addition, the University System of Georgia increased net position for correction of prior year errors for $9,027,776 and decreased net position related to the re-evaluation of capital assets and capital lease agreements between the University of West Georgia and Georgia College & State University and their respective foundations for $1,606,188.

For fiscal year 2015, the University System of Georgia made reclassifications to better reflect assets as cash and cash equivalents and investments in accordance with GASB Statement No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting. This reclassification required the restatement of the June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents reported on the Statement of Cash Flows. The result is a decrease in cash and cash equivalents at July 1, 2014 reported for on the Statement of Cash Flows of $68,886,535. This change is in accordance with general accepted accounting principles.
The University System of Georgia made the following restatement related to fiduciary funds:
During the fiscal year, the University System of Georgia began actively managing the IRS Section 457f deferred compensation plan. In doing so, management determined that the University System of Georgia has fiduciary accountability for the plan and the University System of Georgia holds the assets in a trustee capacity. As a result, the University System of Georgia has restated the June 30, 2014 Fiduciary Net Position. The effect is an increase in beginning net position of $4,279,313 for the Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Funds. This change is in accordance with general accepted accounting principles.

B. Investments The USG 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.

Board of Regents Internal Investment Pool The Board of Regents Internal Investment Pool is overseen by the University System Office which serves as the fiscal agent for various units of the University System of Georgia and affiliated organizations. The University System Office pools the monies of these organizations with the University System Office's monies for investment purposes. The investment pools are 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 the sound and prudent responsibility that 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.

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 USG will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The USG's policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments is:
1. The USG 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 USG 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, 2015, $5,644,975 of the USG's applicable investments in the Pension and Other PostEmployment Benefit Trust Funds were uninsured, unregistered and held by the counterparty or the counterparty's trust department, but not in USG's name. These investments were attributable to the 457f Deferred Compensation Fund.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The USG'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.

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 USG'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, 2015:

Note 5 Notes/Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2015. 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 USG institutions for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As USG institutions determine 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. USG institutions provide allowances for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2015, the allowance for uncollectible loans was $2,014,384.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (BOR) entered into a Service Concession Arrangement (SCA) with Corvias Campus Living-USG, LLC, whereby Corvias Campus Living-USG, LLC, will manage, maintain and operate certain student housing resources on the campuses of the following nine institutions: Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College; Armstrong State University; College of Coastal Georgia; Columbus State University; Dalton State College; East Georgia State College; Georgia Regents University; Georgia State University; and the University of North Georgia.

Pursuant to the contractual stipulations of this SCA, whereby the BOR and Corvias Campus LivingUSG,LLC, are the "parties" participating in this agreement, as of May 14, 2015, the institutions noted above transferred the housing resources covered by this SCA, along with associated capital lease obligations to the University System Office.

In accordance with the SCA, in May 2015, Corvias Campus Living-USG, LLC, provided $311,561,781 to the BOR to retire the capital lease obligations transferred to the University System Office. These lease obligations with outstanding principal balances of $302,191,954,

were subsequently retired using funds provided, with the University System Office recording the difference of $9,369,827 as a Special Item - Extinguishment of Capital Lease Obligations on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position.
In addition to the aforementioned transfers of housing resources and related capital lease obligations from various units of the University System of Georgia to the University System Office, Georgia State University also transferred $8,688,336, which was the remaining unamortized gain from the refinancing of the Commons dormitory that was included in the new Corvias Campus Living-USG, LLC, SCA. The net result of recognizing this gain in conjunction with the $9,369,827 discussed above results in a net Special Item-Loss on Debt Retirement of $681,491.
The $311,561,781 received from Corvias Campus Living-USG, LLC, was reported as a Deferred Inflow of Resources. The SCA is for 65 years (780 months) to end in June 2080. The University System Office amortized $399,438 of this Deferred Inflow in June 2015, leaving a remaining Deferred Inflow of Resources balance of $311,162,343 at June 30, 2015.
As part of this SCA, beginning in fiscal year 2016, the University System Office will also receive $8,000,000 in Ground Rent and $500,000 in Supplemental Capital Repair and Replacement funds each year for the next ten years, with each amount escalating by 3% annually. The University System Office will also receive Retained Services funds each year as a percentage of gross revenues for that year. At June 30, 2015, the University System Office had received advances of $4,000,000 of ground rent and $3,300,230 in retained services funds. This total of $7,300,230 is reflected as Advances on the Statement of Net Position.
Georgia Gwinnett College
At June 30, 2015, Georgia Gwinnett College was a participant in one Service Concession Arrangement with Aramark Education Services, LLC (Aramark).
On May 13, 2014, Georgia Gwinnett College entered into an agreement with Aramark Education Services, LLC (Aramark), whereby Aramark will operate food services operations from service recipients. Aramark is required to operate the food service facilities in accordance with the contractual agreement. The contract includes a period fixed fee ("Annual Fixed Fee") payable to Aramark in the amount of $4.1M per operating year. In the event that the amount paid to or retained by Aramark are less than the Annual Fixed Fee of $4.1M, then the College shall remit the amount equivalent to the difference of the Annual Fixed Fee minus Actual Operating Retainage. In the event that the actual operating year retainage is greater than 199.9% (upper threshold amount) of the Annual Fixed Fee, then Aramark shall remit the difference of the Annual Fixed Fee minus the upper threshold amount to the College. Any amount above the Annual Fixed Fee but less than the upper threshold amount is retained by Aramark. The College and Aramark will review the Annual Fixed Fee prior to the commencement of each Operating Year and a revised Annual Fixed Fee shall be set forth in a written supplemental contract. In addition, the College shall pay to Aramark (or Aramark shall retain) 88% of net receipts on all categories of sales from Aramark's operations. The agreement is renewable each year for ten years.
Under the terms of the contract Aramark committed to a lump sum upfront payment of $360,000. Amortized revenue recorded in fiscal year 2015 was $36,000. The College will receive three yearly

Page 53

installment payments of $500,000 from Aramark, the first payment was received in fiscal year 2015. Amortized revenue recorded in fiscal year 2015 was $150,000.
Under the terms of the agreement, Aramark has committed to $3,250,000 in dining facility renovations. During fiscal year 2015, $2,863,867 of renovations were completed with the remaining $386,133 reported as accounts receivable. The total of $3,250,000 was recorded as a Deferred Inflow of Resources.
For fiscal year 2015, Georgia Gwinnett College reported a remaining Deferred Inflow of Resources of $4,924,000 and amortized revenue of $186,000.
Kennesaw State University
At June 30, 2015, Kennesaw State University was a participant in three Service Concession Arrangements.
1. In August 2001, Kennesaw State University entered into an agreement with Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. (KSUF) whereby KSUF will operate and collect revenues for housing operations from students. KSUF is required to operate the residence hall ("University Place") in accordance with a contractual agreement between the two parties. Under the terms of the agreement, the University received no funds upfront from KSUF, but will take full ownership of the residence hall at the end of the operating agreement in June, 2031.
2. In August 2003, Kennesaw State University entered into an agreement with Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. (KSUF) whereby KSUF will operate and collect revenues for housing operations from students. KSUF is required to operate the residence hall ("University Village") in accordance with a contractual agreement between the parties. Under the terms of the agreement, the University received no funds upfront from KSUF, but will take full ownership of the housing at the end of the operating agreement in June 2034.
3. In August 2007, Kennesaw State University entered into an agreement with Kennesaw State University Foundation, Inc. (KSUF) whereby KSUF will operate and collect revenues for housing operations from students. KSUF is required to operate the residence hall (University Suites") in accordance with a contractual agreement between the parties. Under the terms of the agreement, the University received no funds upfront from KSUF, but will take full ownership of the housing at the end of the operating agreement in June 2037.
At June 30, 2015, Kennesaw State University reports the three housing residences as Capital Assets with a net carrying value of $70,720,106. For fiscal year 2015, the University reported a remaining Deferred Inflow of Resources of $70,720,106 and amortized revenue of $3,582,189.

Note 10 Net Position
The breakdown of business-type activity net position at June 30, 2015 is as follows:

Note 11 Endowments

Donor Restricted Endowments: Investments of the University System of Georgia's (USG) endowment funds are pooled at the individual member institution level, unless required to be separately invested by the donor. For USG member institution controlled, donor-restricted endowments, where the donor has not provided specific instructions, the Board of Regents permits the individual member institution to develop policies for authorizing and spending realized and unrealized endowment income and appreciation as they determined to be prudent. Realized and unrealized appreciation in excess of the amount budgeted for current spending is retained by the endowments. Current year net appreciation for the endowment accounts was $2,895,081 and is reflected as restricted net position.

Several USG member institutions with endowment funds, where the donor has not provided specific instructions, have predicated endowment funds investment returns on the total return concept.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 55

Annual payouts from the USG member institution's endowment funds are based on a spending policies which limit spending between 3% and 6% of the endowments principal's market value. To the extent that the total return for the current year exceeds the payout, the excess is added to principal. If current year earnings do not meet the payout requirements, the USG member institution uses accumulated income and appreciation from restricted expendable net asset endowment balances to make up the difference.
For endowment funds where the donor has not provided specific instructions and the USG member institution has determined not to utilize the total return concept, investment return of endowment funds is predicated under classical trust doctrines. Unless the donor has stipulated otherwise, capital gains and losses are accounted for as part of the endowment principal and are not available for expenditure.
During the current year, the USG member institutions incurred investment losses that exceeded the related endowment's available accumulated income and net appreciation. These losses resulted in a reduction to the specific nonexpendable endowment balance. At June 30, 2015, the amount of investment losses reported against the nonexpendable endowment balances was $21,222.
Note 12 Significant Commitments
See Note 10 for amounts reserved for outstanding encumbrances at June 30, 2015. The USG had significant unearned, outstanding construction or renovation contracts executed in the amount of $119,502,495 as of June 30, 2015, which are not reflected in the accompanying basic financial statements. The breakdown of these significant commitments a June 30, 2015 is as follows:

Note 13 Lease Obligations

The USG 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
The USG is obligated under approximately $3,246,324,869 in capital lease liability as of June 30, 2015. Of this amount, 99.6% was with affiliated organizations. Capital leases are generally payable in installments ranging from monthly to annually and have terms expiring in various years between fiscal 2015 and 2052. Cash payments for fiscal year 2015 were $573,954,298, of which $186,446,715 represented interest and $387,507,583 represented principal. Interest rates range from 0.75 percent to 31.08 percent.

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

The USG's non-cancellable operating leases having remaining terms of more than one year expire in various fiscal years from 2015 through 2052. 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 real property, copiers and other small business equipment. System-wide real property and equipment operating lease expense for fiscal 2015 was $40,077,992.

Note 14 Retirement Plans

The University System of Georgia participates in various retirement plans administered by the State of Georgia under two major retirement systems: Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) and Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS). These two systems issue separate publicly available financial reports that include the applicable financial statements and required supplementary information. The reports may be obtained from the respective administrative offices.

In addition to the retirement plans administered by TRS and ERS, two other retirement plans exist for employees of the USG. Georgia Regents University (GRU), an organizational unit of the USG, administers the Early Retirement Pension Plan, a defined benefit plan. The USG administers the Regents Retirement Plan, a defined contribution plan, as an optional retirement plan to TRS and ERS.
The significant retirement plans are described below. More detailed information can be found in the plan agreements and related legislation. Each plan, including benefit and contribution provisions, was established and can be amended by State law.

A. Defined Benefit Plans:

General Information

Teachers Retirement System

Plan description: All teachers of the USG as defined in 47-3-60 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) are provided a pension through the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS). TRS, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, is administered by the TRS Board of Trustees (TRS Board). Title 47 of the O.C.G.A. assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.trsga.com/publications.

Benefits provided: TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and death benefits. Normal retirement benefits are determined as 2% of the average of the employee's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. An employee is eligible for normal service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. Ten years of service is required for disability and death benefits eligibility. Disability benefits are based on the employee's creditable service and compensation up to the time of disability. Death benefits equal the amount that would be payable to the employee's beneficiary had the employee retired on the date of death. Death benefits are based on the employee's creditable service and compensation up to the date of death.

Contributions: Per Title 47 of the O.C.G.A., contribution requirements of active employees and participating employers, as actuarially determined, are established and may be amended by the TRS Board. Contributions are expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Employees were required to contribute 6.00 % of their annual pay during fiscal year 2015. The USG's contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2015 was 13.15% of annual USG payroll. USG contributions to TRS were $203,908,449 for the reporting period (fiscal year ended June 30, 2015) and $181,383,954 for the measurement period (fiscal year ended June 30, 2014).

Employees' Retirement System

Plan description: ERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees. Title 47 of the O.C.G.A. assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature. ERS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.ers.ga.gov/formspubs/formspubs.

Benefits provided: The ERS Plan supports three benefit tiers: Old Plan, New Plan, and Georgia State Employees' Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS). Employees under the old plan started membership prior to July 1, 1982 and are subject to plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982. Members hired on or after July 1, 1982 but prior to January 1, 2009 are new plan members subject to modified plan provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, new state employees and rehired state employees who did not retain membership rights under the Old or New Plans are members of

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 59

GSEPS. ERS members hired prior to January 1, 2009 also have the option to irrevocably change their membership to GSEPS.
Under the old plan, the new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60 or 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service for members under age 60. Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon the monthly average of the member's highest 24 consecutive calendar months, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service, multiplied by the applicable benefit factor. Annually, postretirement cost-of-living adjustments may also be made to members' benefits, provided the members were hired prior to July 1, 2009. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension, at reduced rates, to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS.
Contributions: Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation, up to $4,200, plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, the state pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these state contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members' earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits. Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1.25% of annual compensation. The USG's contractually required contribution rate, actuarially determined annually, for the year ended June 30, 2015 was 21.96% of annual covered payroll for old and new plan members and 18.87% for GSEPS members. The USG's contributions to ERS were $2,094,605 for the reporting period (fiscal year ended June 30, 2015) and $1,604,331 for the measurement period (fiscal year ended June 30, 2014)
Georgia Regents University Early Retirement Pension Plan
Plan Description: Georgia Regents University Early Retirement Pension Plan (ERP) is a singleemployer defined benefit pension plan administered by Bryan, Pendleton, Swats, and McAlister. The plan was derived by the GRU as a means of workforce reduction and was approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (BOR) effective January 1, 2000.
The plan was designed to provide eligible participants additional benefits above the amounts payable through Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS). The 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. Any member who opted into the Optional Retirement Plan aged 55 with 10 years of service by June 30, 2000 was also eligible to participate in the plan.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 60

The plan is closed to new entrants. There were no active plan participants. As of January 1, 2015, plan participants consisted of the following:

Benefits Provided: TRS provides a benefit equal to 2.0% of the participant's average annual compensation during the two consecutive years of creditable service which produce the highest such average, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service, limited to 40 years. If the participant has less than 30 years of creditable service and has not attained age 60 at the time of retirement, the benefit will be reduced by the lesser of 1/12 of 7% for each month that retirement precedes age 60 or 7% for each year or fraction of a year by which the participant has less than 30 years of creditable service at the time of retirement. In addition, a one-time 3% increase is applied to the first $37,500 of the participant's benefit at retirement.

The ERP provides the additional benefits that would have been payable under TRS based on the following adjustments:

Age of the participant was increased five years Participant's creditable service was increased five years Participant's annual rate of earnings as of August 1, 1999 was projected five years
into the future with 3% increases each year

ERP benefits will be increased 3% a year as a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA): 1-1/2% on each January 1 and July 1. The ERP provided COLA's for both the ERP and TRS benefits until actual eligibility for a COLA through TRS occurred. Since that time, the ERP has provided COLA's only on the portion of the benefit paid by the ERP, and TRS has provided COLA's under the terms of the TRS plan.

The ERP does not issue a standalone report.

Funding Policy: The fund sources that provided for an employee's salary, as of December 31, 1999, would be responsible for funding the annuity to provide for retiree benefits. There is no additional cost to the employee/retiree, Board of Regents, or State of Georgia for this plan. Contributions are made by GRU based on the actuarial valuation of the plan. For fiscal year 2015, GRU contributed $13,084,672 to the ERP, which includes $5,886,802 contributed to the plan on-behalf of GRU by affiliated organizations.

Since this plan was not pre-funded, GRU's approach to collect and deposit as much into the ERP fund in the earlier years as is possible, thereby, realizing a greater return on investment. Effective January 1, 2009, the period to amortize the unfunded accrued liability was extended 4 years. With this change, the plan should be fully funded by June 30, 2023. The funding policy is reasonable and in compliance with minimum funding requirements set forth in Code Section 47-20-10 of the Public Retirement Systems Standards Law.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 61

Investments: GRU 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 of the institution to the citizens of Georgia and which conforms to the Board of Regents investment policy. All investments are consistent with Board of Regents policy and applicable Federal and state laws. See Note 2 for information related to ERP interest rate risk, custodial credit risk, credit quality risk and concentration of credit risk.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 4.13%.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At June 30, 2015, the USG reported a liability for the ERP net pension liability and its proportionate share of the net pension liability for TRS and ERS. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2015 for ERP and June 30, 2014 for TRS and ERS. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2014 for ERP and June 30, 2013 for TRS and ERS. An expected total pension liability as of June 30, 2014 was determined using standard roll-forward techniques.
For plans administered by TRS and ERS, the USG's proportion of the net pension liability was based on contributions to TRS and ERS during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. At June 30 2014, the USG's TRS proportion was 14.52%, which was a decrease of 5.29% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2014, the USG's ERS proportion was .39% which was a decrease of .051% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2013.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, the USG recognized pension expense of $6,481,522 for ERP, $131,086,771 for TRS and $1,865,240 for ERS.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 62

At June 30, 2015, the USG reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

Contributions subsequent to the measurement date of $203,908,449 for TRS and $2,094,605 for ERS are reported as deferred outflows of resources and will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2016. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows:

Actuarial assumptions for plans administered by TRS and ERS
The total pension liability as of June 30, 2014 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 63

Teachers Retirement System:

Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return

3.00% 3.75 7.00%, average, including inflation 7.50%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for Males or Females set back two years for males and set back three years for females.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2004 June 30, 2009.

Employees' Retirement System:

Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return

3.00%
5.45 9.25%, including inflation 7.50%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for the periods after service retirement, for dependent beneficiaries, and for deaths in active service, and the RP2000 Disabled Mortality Table set back eleven years for males for the period after disability retirement.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2004 June 30, 2009.

The long-term expected rate of return on TRS and ERS pension plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected nominal returns, net of pension plan investment expense and the assumed rate of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 64

TRS and ERS Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total TRS and ERS pension liability was 7.50 %. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer and State of Georgia contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the TRS and ERS pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Sensitivity of the USG's proportionate share of the TRS and ERS net pension liability to changes in the discount rate: The following presents the USG's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.50 %, as well as what the USG's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.50 %) or 1-percentage-point higher (8.50 %) than the current rate:

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions for ERP

The actuarially determined contribution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 was determined as part of the January, 2014 actuarial valuation using the Entry Age Normal method. Changes in actuarial assumptions and experienced gains or losses are amortized over the average working lifetime of all participants which for the current period is one year since all participants are inactive. The remaining amortization period is 9 years using the Level Dollar amortization method. The actuarial assumptions include (a) rate of return of 7.5% per annum, compounded annually, (b) inflation of 3% per annum, compounded annually, and (c) annual cost of living increase of 3.00% per annum, compounded annually. Plan assumptions and methods are reviewed annually for reasonableness by the actuary.

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Mortality Table for Healthy Annuitants with projected improvement from year 2000 to year 2022 under Projection Scale AA.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 65

(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation are summarized in the following table:

ERP Discount rate: The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate of 7.5% per annum, compounded annually assumes that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on that assumption, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the ERP Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate: The following represents the net pension liability calculated using the stated discount rate, as well as what the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower or 1-percentage-point higher than the current rate:

Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the TRS and ERS pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued TRS and ERS financial reports which are publically available at www.trsga.com/publications and www.ers.ga.gov/formspubs/formspubs, respectively.
ERP Net Pension Liability: The components of the ERP net pension liability at June 30, 2015 were as follows:

Plan Fiduciary Net Position as a percentage of total pension liability is 55.03%.

B. Defined Contribution 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. 47-21-1 et.seq. and 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 all exempt full and partial benefit eligible employees, 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 (VALIC, Fidelity, and TIAACREF) 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 Monthly employer contributions are made 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 2015, the employer contribution was 9.24% for the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 6% 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 $116,947,834 (9.24%) and $75,472,681 (6%), respectively.
VALIC, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Note 15 Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Plan Description and Funding Policy
The Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Plan (Plan) is a single-employer, defined-benefit, healthcare plan administered by the USO. The Plan was authorized pursuant to OCGA Section 4721-21 for the purpose of accumulating funds necessary to meet employer costs of retiree postemployment health insurance benefits.
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the OCGA Section 20-3-31, the USG has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the USG. It is the policy of the USG to permit employees of the USG eligible for retirement or who become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the USG define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 68

Membership of the Plan consisted of the following at June 30, 2015:
The contribution requirements of plan members and the employer are established and may be amended by the Board. The Plan is substantially funded on a "pay-as-you-go" basis; however, amounts above the pay-as-you-go basis may be contributed annually, either by specific appropriation or by Board designation.
Organizational units of the USG pay the employer portion for group insurance for eligible retirees. The employer portion of health insurance for its eligible retirees is based on rates that are established annually by the USO for the upcoming plan year. For the 2015 plan year, the employer rate was approximately 75-80% of the total health insurance cost for eligible retirees and the retiree rate was approximately 20-25%. 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 retiree.
For fiscal year 2015, the USG contributed $129,822,595 to the Plan for current premiums or claims. Plan members receiving benefits contributed $37,770,939 for current premiums or claims.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The annual OPEB cost (expense) (AOC) for the Plan is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed 30 years.
The following table presents the components of the USG's annual OPEB cost, the amount actually contributed, and changes in the net OPEB obligation (NOO) for the Plan for fiscal year 2015, 2014, and 2013 (dollars in millions):

Funded Status, Funding Progress, and Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trends. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress with multi-year trend information is presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements.
The multi-year trend schedules indicate whether the actuarial values of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 70

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and Plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
Additional information as of the latest actuarial valuation is as follows:

Note 16 Risk Management

The USG offers its employees and retirees access to four different healthcare plan options. For the USG's Plan Year 2015, the following healthcare plan options were available: BlueChoice HMO, Comprehensive Care Plan, Consumer Choice HSA, and Plan Kaiser Permanente HMO.
The USG institutions and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to the healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. All units of the USG share the risk of loss for claims associated with the self-insured plans; including the BlueChoice HMO, Comprehensive Care Plan and Consumer Choice HSA Plan.
The reserves for these plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to serve as the claims administrator for the

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 71

self-insured healthcare plans. In addition to the self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the USG, a fully insured HMO healthcare plan option is also offered to USG employees through Kaiser Permanente.
The prescription drug plan was administered through Express Scripts through December 31, 2014 and CVS/Caremark effective January 1, 2015. Pharmacy drug claims are processed in accordance with guidelines established for the Board of Regents' Prescription Drug Benefit Program.
Generally, claims are submitted to the plan administrator for verification, processing and payment. The plan administrator maintains an eligibility file based on information furnished by Blue Cross Blue Shield on behalf of the various organizational units of the USG. The dental plan was administered through Delta Dental.

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 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.
As of June 30, 2015, three USG institutions had projects or events that met one of the five obligating events related to recognition of pollution remediation.
Georgia Regents University (GRU) is responsible for asbestos abatement as a small part of the project costs for various projects. GRU did not record a liability and expense related to pollutions remediation as June 30, 2015. GRU does not anticipate any significant changes to the expected remediation outlay.
The University of Georgia (UGA) is responsible for pollution remediation at the Milledge Avenue landfill site. The University of Georgia recorded a liability and expense related to this pollution remediation in the amount of $874,131. The liability is reflected on the Statement of Position in Other Liabilities and on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position in Supplies and Other Services. The liability was determined using a five year budget estimate provided by Brown and Caldwell. The University of Georgia does not anticipate any significant changes to the expected remediation outlay. There are no expected recoveries that have reduced the liability.
Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) is responsible for pollution monitoring and remediation in all GT facilities, including asbestos abatement. Monitoring and remediation activities are performed during renovation/construction projects when deemed necessary by GT management. As of June 30, 2015, the GT recorded an expense and a liability in the amount of $210,333 for pollution monitoring and remediation projects in various GT structures. The liability is reflected on the Statement of Net Position in Other Liabilities and on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position in Supplies and Other Services. The liability was determined using the Expected Cash Flow Measurement Technique, which measures the liability as the sum of probability weighted amounts in a range of possible estimated amounts. The GT does not anticipate any significant changes to the expected remediation outlay. There are no expected recoveries that have reduced the liability.

Note 20 Affiliated Organizations

Under Board of Regents policy, each individual institution may establish a separate foundation, or affiliated organization, to provide valuable assistance in fundraising, public outreach and other support for the missions of the respective campuses and the USG. Although independent boards govern these foundations, their assets are dedicated for the benefit of the related institution and the USG. Summarized financial statements for all affiliated organizations are included in the Supplementary Information. For the affiliated organizations reporting under the FASB basis, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features.

The USG is an organizational unit of the State of Georgia and is included within the State of Georgia's basic financial statements as a part of the primary government in accordance with section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. Therefore, the financial statements of the affiliated organizations are not included in these financial statements. The affiliated organizations are considered potential component units of the State of Georgia in accordance with

University System of Georgia Annual Financial Report Fiscal Year 2015

Page 75

GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, Sections 2100 and 2600.
The following affiliated organizations have been determined to be significant to the State of Georgia for the year ended June 30, 2015 and, as such, are reported as blended or discretely presented component units in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the State of Georgia (CAFR). Information for obtaining complete financial statements for these organizations can be found within the respective institution's annual financial reports.

The most recent State of Georgia CAFR can be found at https://sao.georgia.gov/comprehensiveannual-financial-reports.
Note 21 Subsequent Events
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved a change to the retiree healthcare benefit plan that will significantly reduce the annual OPEB cost (AOC) and the net OPEB obligation (NOO) in fiscal year 2016. The NOO is equal to a running total of the AOC less employer contributions. Effective January 1, 2016, the University System of Georgia (USG) will provide supplemental healthcare coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees through a private retiree healthcare exchange instead of through the USG healthcare plan. On August 12, 2015, the Board of Regents approved the funding level for the 2016 USG retiree supplemental plan and kept the funding amount the same as 2015 at $43.3 million. For Medicare-eligible retirees, the USG will provide a subsidy not to exceed $2,736 per retiree toward healthcare costs for 2016. For fiscal years 2016 and 2017, this change in the supplemental healthcare coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees is forecasted to reduce the NOO by $42.1 and $43.9 million, respectively, from what the obligation would have been under the old plan.

On May 19, 2015 the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (BOR) approved a lease agreement for the High Performance Computing (HPC) Facility. In this agreement, the Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) proposes to lease approximately 340,000 rentable square feet as anchor tenant in a new real estate development project to be located in Technology Square. The mixed-use office, computing center and retail complex will be programmed around a High Performance Computing (HPC) innovation ecosystem that integrates the existing assets of Technology Square with new opportunities in interdisciplinary research, commercialization and sustainability. The building will house GT administrative and research computing operations. To facilitate development, GT will enter into a long-term lease for about 50% of the space with a private developer who, subject to GT approval, will design, construct, finance and own the project, and lease the remaining building space to commercial companies meeting specific criteria as outlined in the project proposal. The lease will be for a fifteen year term and is expected to qualify as an operating lease. The lease agreement is expected to be signed in early 2016, with rental payments expected to begin in the third calendar quarter of 2018. GT will pay an estimated total rent of $187,815,394 over a fifteen year period, with the first year's annual rental payment estimated to be $10,407,108. The Georgia Tech Foundation ("Foundation") intends to enter into a ground lease with the site developer with terms to be negotiated by the Foundation.

On May 19, 2015 the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia passed a resolution authorizing the GT to enter into a General Energy Savings Performance Contract with Johnson Controls Inc. as the energy service pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 50-37-1 et.seq. The resolution further provided that the parties could enter into an installment purchase agreement for the provision of energy and water saving capital improvement for the use of GT for an amount not to exceed $7,761,925. The project entails installing energy optimization and water savings improvements at several GT water plants and cooling towers. Utility cost savings from this project would yield a simple pay-back of 4.72 years. The performance contract between GT and Johnson Controls, Inc. was signed on August 31, 2015 and the installment purchase agreement between these two entities was signed on September 11, 2015. GT will pay total installments of $8,543,702 over a seven year period with $7,761,925 representing principal and $781,777 representing interest. The first quarterly installment payment of $305,132 (principal and interest) is due on January 31, 2017.

On September 2, 2015, the Development Authority of Cobb County issued revenue bonds and loaned the proceeds to the Kennesaw State University Foundation (Foundation). These revenue bonds were issued to refund the 2004 Parking Series, 2004 University Facilities Series, and 2006A and 2006B Town Point Series bonds. The Foundation passed the economic gain resulting from this debt refunding to Kennesaw State University in the form of reduced annual lease payments over the life of the Kennesaw State University's capital leases with the Foundation.

On September 4, 2015, the Board of Regents, on behalf of Kennesaw State University, purchased real property at 3305 Busbee Parkway from the Kennesaw State University Foundation in the amount of $12,568,914. This purchase was funded by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC).

On Tuesday, September 15, 2015, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia voted unanimously to change the name of Georgia Regents University to Augusta University. Though the Board of Regents made the change "effective immediately," there will be a period of discussion and planning to ensure a smooth transition.

Financial Statement Findings June 30, 2015
The auditor is required to communicate to management and those charged with governance deficiencies in internal controls identified during the course of the financial statement audit that, in the auditor's judgment, constitute significant deficiencies or material weakness.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the University System of Georgia's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Any identified deficiencies in internal controls that the auditors did not consider to be significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses have been communicated to management and those charged with governance within separate management letters for each applicable individual college or university. Internal control deficiencies that were considered to be significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses are presented below:
Albany State University FS 2015-001 Georgia Regents University FS 2015-001 Georgia Southern University FS 2015-001 Gordon State College FS 2015-001
Detailed information on these findings is available in the individual college or university report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 located at http://www.audits.ga.gov.
