accounting principles promulgated by GASB and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) GASB allows public colleges various reporting options The College has elected to report as an entity engaged in only business-type activities This election requires the adoption of the accrual basis of accounting and entitywide reporting including the following components:  Management’s Discussion and Analysis  Basic Financial Statements:  Statement of Net Assets  Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets  Statement of Cash Flows  Notes to Financial Statements  Other Required Supplementary Information Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues, expenses, and related assets and liabilities are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements Specifically, it relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied The College’s financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from nonexchange activities are generally recognized when all applicable eligibility requirements, including time requirements, are met The College’s component unit uses the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, and follows GASB standards of accounting and financial reporting for not-for-profit organizations The College follows GASB pronouncements and FASB pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with GASB pronouncements Under GASB Statement No 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other

projects Interest on capital asset-related debt is a nonoperating expense The statement of net assets is presented in a classified format to distinguish between current and noncurrent assets and liabilities When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available to fund certain programs, it is the College’s policy to first apply the restricted resources to such programs followed by the use of the unrestricted resources The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets is presented by major sources and is reported net of tuition scholarship allowances Tuition scholarship allowances are the differences between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the College and the amount that is actually paid by the student or the third party making payment on behalf of the student The College applied “The Alternate Method” as prescribed in NACUBO Advisory Report 2000-05 to determine the reported net tuition scholarship allowances Under this method, the College computes these amounts by allocating the cash payments to students, excluding payments for services, on a ratio of total aid to the aid not considered third-party aid The statement of cash flows is presented using the direct method in compliance with GASB Statement No 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund

equal to approximately three percent of the market value of the Foundation’s assets as of the beginning of each fiscal year, plus approximately one percent to account for administrative expenses These distributions may be from any combination of income, earnings, or principal value of contributions that are not donor or Board restricted The following risks may apply to the Foundation’s investments: Interest Rate Risk: The Foundation’s investment policy recognizes that assets are exposed to risk and the fluctuation of market value from year-to-year This volatile performance is acceptable, as long as the Foundation is invested primarily for capital appreciation over the long term The policy does not limit debt obligation maturities; however, the Foundation manages its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates through the segmented time-distribution method Credit Risk: The Foundation’s investment policy limits investments to equity securities, convertible securities, real estate securities, fixed-income securities, and certain international securities Convertible securities should be rated “BBB” (or its equivalent) or higher at the time of purchase by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency The policy also recommends a target asset allocation strategy of 60 percent equities (minimum 50 percent and maximum 70 percent limits) and 40 percent

to custodial risk relates to investment securities that are held by someone other than the Foundation and are not registered in the Foundation’s name The Foundation’s investment policy does not address custodial credit risk Concentration of Credit Risk: The Foundation’s investment policy requires that invested assets be broadly diversified by asset class, investment style, number of issues, issue type, and other factors consistent with the investment objectives to reduce the risk of wide swings in market value from year to year or incurring large losses that may result from concentrated positions Subject to the usual standards of fiduciary prudence, and to minimize the risk of large losses, each investment manager is to maintain adequate diversification in their portfolio ACCOUNTS

used or paid in the current fiscal year Although the College expects the liability to be funded primarily from future appropriations, generally accepted accounting principles not permit the recording of a receivable in anticipation of future appropriations At June 30, 2010, the estimated liability for compensated absences, which includes the College’s share of the Florida Retirement System and FICA contributions, totaled $9,433,323 Of this amount, $463,643 is considered a current liability as this is expected to be paid in the coming fiscal year The College calculates the actual fiscal year payouts for all leave for the two fiscal years immediately preceding, including applicable College tax payments, and then averages the two years Other Postemployment Benefits Payable The College follows Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, for certain other postemployment benefits provided by the Florida College System Risk Management Consortium (Consortium) Plan Description The College contributes to an agent, multiple-employer defined-benefit plan administered by the Consortium Pursuant to the provisions of Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, former employees who retire from the College are eligible to participate in the College’s healthcare benefits The College subsidizes the premium rates paid by retirees by allowing them to participate in the plans at reduced or blended group (implicitly subsidized) premium rates for both active and retired employees These rates provide an implicit subsidy for retirees because, on an actuarial basis, their current and future claims are expected to result in higher costs to the plan on average than those of active employees The College does not offer any explicit subsidies Retirees are required to enroll in the Federal Medicare program for their primary health coverage as soon as they are eligible Neither the College nor the Consortium issue a stand-alone annual report for the plan and the plan is not included in the annual report of a public employee retirement system or another entity This is trial

Plan benefits are pursuant to provisions of Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, and the Board of Trustees can amend the benefits and contribution rates The College has not advance-funded or established a funding methodology for the annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) costs or the net OPEB obligation and the plans are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis For the 2009-10 fiscal year, 57 retirees received postemployment healthcare benefits The College provided required contributions of $33,661 toward the annual OPEB cost, comprised of benefit payments made on behalf of retirees for claim expenses (net of reinsurance), administrative expenses, and reinsurance premiums Retiree contributions totaled $279,046 Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The College’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No 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 shows the College’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plans, and changes in the College’s net OPEB obligation: Description Amount Normal Cost

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2010 Funded Status and Funding Progress As of July 1, 2009, the most recent valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $297,267 and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability of $297,267 and a funded ratio of percent The covered payroll (annual payroll of active participating employees) was $54,890,980 for the 2009-10 fiscal year, and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 0.54 percent 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 and termination, mortality, and healthcare cost trends Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer 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, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to financial statements, presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan provisions, as understood by the employer and participating 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 participating members 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 The College’s OPEB actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2009, used the projected unit credit actuarial method to estimate the unfunded actuarial liability as of June 30, 2010, and the College’s 2009-10 fiscal year ARC This method was selected because it is the same method used in the private sector for determination of retiree medical liabilities Because the OPEB liability is currently unfunded, the actuarial assumptions included a growth rate of percent per year, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of percent for the 2009-10 fiscal year, reduced 0.1 to percent per year, to an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent after 18 years The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of payroll amortized over 30 years The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2010, was 27 years RETIREMENT PROGRAMS Florida Retirement System Essentially all regular employees of the College are eligible to enroll as members of the
