EMAIL MEMBERS jmpa@ironwoodcpa.com INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Board of Trustees Community College District of Gogebic County Ironwood, Michigan We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business type activities of Community College District of Gogebic County and the discretely presented component unit, Gogebic Community College Foundation as of and for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, which collectively comprise the College s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Community College District of Gogebic County s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and with the standards prescribed by the State Treasurer. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the business type activities of Community College District of Gogebic County and its discretely presented component unit as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in financial position and cash flows, thereof for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 25, 2011, on our consideration of Community College District of Gogebic County s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. 3

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management s discussion on pages 5 through 13 be presented to supplement the basic financial 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 inquiries 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. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Community College District of Gogebic County s financial statements as a whole. The accompanying Other Financial Information, which includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The Other Financial Information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the 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 financial statements as a whole. Ironwood, Michigan October 25, 2011 Certified Public Accountants 4

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT OF GOGEBIC COUNTY Year ended June 30, 2011 Management s Discussion and Analysis The discussion and analysis of Community College District of Gogebic County s financial statements provides an overview of the College s financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2011. Management has prepared the financial statements and the related footnote disclosures along with the discussion and analysis. Responsibility for the completeness and fairness of this information rests with the College s management. Using this Report In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released statement No. 34 Basic Financial Statements and Management s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Government. Statement No. 34 requires a comprehensive look at the entity as a whole, including capitalization and depreciation of assets. In November 1999, GASB issued Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management s Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities, which applies these standards to public colleges and universities. The State of Michigan has adopted these standards and has revised and issued the Manual for Uniform Financial Reporting for Michigan Public Community Colleges, 2001. In May 2002, GASB released Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units. Statement No. 39 requires that separate legal entities which are associated with a primary government that meet certain criteria be included with the financial statements of the Primary Reporting Unit. In compliance with this statement, the Gogebic Community College Foundation is reported as a component unit of the College and its financial activity is discretely reported herein. Separately issued financial statements for the Foundation are also available from the Foundation office. This annual financial report includes the report of independent auditors, management s discussion and analysis, the basic financial statements in the format described above, notes to the financial statements, other information and supplemental reports. Financial Highlights The College s financial position remained strong at June 30, 2011, with assets of $16.1 million and liabilities of $5.5 million. Net assets, which represent the residual interest in the College s assets after liabilities are deducted, are $10.6 million. The net assets consist of $8.75 million invested in capital assets, net of related debt, $.175 million restricted and $1.7 million unrestricted. Net assets increased for the year by $633,521. 5

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets report information on the College as a whole. These statements report the College s financial position as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and changes in net assets for the years then ended. When revenues and other support exceed expenses, the result is an increase in net assets. When the reverse occurs, the result is a decrease in net assets. The relationship between revenues and expenses may be thought of as Gogebic Community College s operating results. The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses using the accrual basis of accounting which is similar to the accounting used by most private sector entities. All of the current year s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. Condensed Statement of Net Assets ASSETS June 30, 2011 2010 CURRENT ASSETS Cash, cash equivalents and investments $ 1,544,270 $ 1,529,403 Receivables 1,555,096 1,354,659 Other assets 430,207 264,671 TOTAL CURRENT ASSETS $ 3,529,573 $ 3,148,733 NONCURRENT ASSETS Property and equipment, net 12,599,363 12,642,988 LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS TOTAL ASSETS $ 16,128,936 $ 15,791,721 CURRENT LIABILITIES Note payable $ 750,000 $ 750,000 Other current liabilities 764,023 725,362 Current portion of long-term debt 553,606 564,384 TOTAL CURRENT LIABILITIES $ 2,067,629 $ 2,039,746 Long-term debt, net 3,427,814 3,752,003 TOTAL LIABILITIES $ 5,495,443 $ 5,791,749 TOTAL NET ASSETS $ 10,633,493 $ 9,999,972 6

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Condensed Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets Year ended June 30, 2011 2010 Operating revenues $ 4,381,857 $ 3,687,812 Operating expenses (11,976,250) (10,959,301) OPERATING LOSS $ (7,594,393) $ (7,271,489) Nonoperating revenue 8,227,914 7,830,930 INCREASE IN NET ASSETS $ 633,521 $ 559,441 Net Assets - Beginning of year 9,999,972 9,440,531 Operating Revenues NET ASSETS - END OF YEAR $ 10,633,493 $ 9,999,972 Operating revenues include all transactions that result in the sales and/or receipts from goods and services such as tuition and fees, Lindquist Student Center, Student Housing, Snack Bar, and Bookstore operations. In addition, certain federal, state and private grants are considered operating if they are not for capital purposes and are considered a contract for services. Operating revenue changes were the result of the following factors: For the year ended June 30, 2011, student tuition and fee revenue increased $487,558 as a result of a Board approved tuition increase of $4 per credit hour for In-District and $7 per credit hour for Out-of-District and Out-of-District Reciprocity, $9 per credit hour for Out-of-State, and $13 per credit hour tuition increase for International and the college incurred a 7% increase in enrollment. The Board also approved fee increases for a small number of courses. For the year ended June 30, 2010, student tuition and fee revenue increased $618,061 as a result of a Board approved tuition increase of $5 per credit hour for In-District and $7 per credit hour for all remaining categories of students and a 7% increase in enrollment. The Board also approved fee increases for a small number of courses. For the year ended June 30, 2011, auxiliary services revenues increased by 15% and expenses increased by 26%, due to increased expenses across all auxiliary service operations. This and a $57,552 decrease in transfers to other funds resulted in a $33,888 increase in net assets. For the year ended June 30, 2010, auxiliary services revenues increased by 11% and expenses decreased by 3%, due to increased profits in the Bookstore and Residential Housing caused by an overall increase in attendance and the Residential Housing being at full capacity and savings incurred by a vacancy in the Lindquist Center Director position. This and a $106,286 increase in transfers to other funds resulted in a $62,949 increase in net assets. 7

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Operating Expenses Operating expenses are all the costs necessary to perform and conduct the programs and primary purposes of the College. The operating expenses of the General Fund for the year ended June 30, 2011 increased $545,911 to $8,666,792. The operating expenses of the General Fund for the year ended June 30, 2010 increased $502,564 to $8,120,881. Instruction, Instructional Support, and Student Services account for 74% and 72% of all expenses respectively. The following is a graphic illustration of the operating expenses by function: Independent Operations 2% Operation of Maintenance 6% 2010-2011 Operating Expenses Depreciation/ amortization Expense 6% Instruction 35% Institutional Administration 12% Student Services 32% Instructional Support 7% Independent Operations 2% 2009-2010 Operating Expenses Depreciation/ Amortization Expense 7% Physical Plant 6% Institutional Administration 13% Student Services 27% Instructional Support 7% Instruction 38% 9

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Non-operating Revenues Non-operating revenues are all revenue sources that are primarily non-exchange in nature. They consist of state appropriations, property tax revenue, investment income, and grants and contracts that do not require any services to be performed, in addition to the clarification of GASB 34/35 which reclassifies Pell grants as non-operating revenue. Non-operating revenue changes were the result of the following factors: Pell funding increased $397,567 The taxable value of property within the Community College district increased by.73%, contributing an additional $14,970 in property tax revenue. Other Revenue Other revenue consists of items that are typically nonrecurring, extraordinary, or unusual to the College. Examples are additions to permanent endowments and transfers in (out) from other funds. Statement of Cash Flows The Statement of Cash Flows primary purpose is to provide relevant information about the cash receipts and cash payments of the College during the period. The Statement of Cash Flows also helps users assess: An entity s ability to generate future net cash flows Its ability to meet its obligations as they come due Its need for external financing The College s cash position increased during the year by $13,785, with cash and cash equivalents of $1,433,694 as of June 30, 2011. Details of how the increase occurred are contained in the Statement of Cash Flows. 10

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) General Fund Expenditures General Fund salaries and wages increased $317,889 for the year ended June 30, 2011. Fringe benefits increased by $365,258 for the year. This amounted to a 7% increase in salaries and an 18% increase in benefits. Increased enrollment caused faculty overload and adjunct instructor costs to significantly increase. This was coupled with other following factors: The State s mandated contribution rate for the College to the state retirement system increased by 3.72% The college granted early retirement payments to two employees, totaling $52,000. The college incurred increased health insurance costs for the 2010-2011 year. Since General Fund salaries, wages and fringe benefits accounted for 81% and 78% of total expenditures for the years ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, the College maintains a prudent watch over these categories and has and will continue a concerted effort to keep these costs contained and still maintain financial viability while continuing the mission of the College. The following is a graphic illustration of the breakdown of total General Fund expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2011. 2010-2011 Supplies, Expenses, and Capital Outlay 19% Salary, Wage, and Fringe Benefits 81% 11

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital Assets As of June 30, 2011, the College had $12.5 million invested in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation of $11.5 million. Capital investments for the year were $709,710 and depreciation charges totaled $744,648. Details of these assets as of June 30, 2011 are outlined below. Balance June 30, 2011 2010 Land $ 95,968 $ 95,968 Land improvements 1,346,018 1,346,018 Buildings 16,589,166 16,589,166 Equipment 5,900,884 5,259,357 Construction in progress 20,625 $ 23,952,661 $ 23,290,509 Accumulated depreciation: Land improvements $ 869,863 $ 775,940 Buildings 6,581,374 6,260,699 Equipment 4,000,777 3,715,561 $ 11,452,014 $ 10,752,200 $ 12,500,647 $ 12,538,309 The majority of the College s investment in capital assets is in buildings. Buildings have a cost value of $16.6 million before depreciation. College buildings have been well maintained with several having undergone major renovation and repairs in recent years. These buildings have significant useful lives remaining and will provide functional use for many years to come. The College has invested $5.9 million in furniture, fixtures, equipment, library materials and vehicles, listed above as equipment. Although a significant portion of these assets have been depreciated, these assets continue to provide functional benefit and utility for the College in both instructional and non-instructional areas. Construction in progress consists of payments for a new backup generator systems completed in fall of 2011 at a total cost of $31,003. Debt As of June 30, 2011, the College had long term debt totaling $3.98 million. This amount consists of $.25 million in refunding bonds outstanding, $2.39 million of revenue bonds, $1.12 million in capital leases and installment agreement, $.22 million in retirement incentives and post employment health insurance payable to employees and capital leases payable. $594,566 was paid on this debt during the year ended June 30, 2011. 12

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) Economic Factors That Will Affect The Future The economic position of the College is closely tied to that of the State of Michigan with appropriations amounting to 41% of its General Fund revenues. Gogebic Community College has been instrumental in workforce retraining over the last two (2) years as reflected in the increased enrollment at the College. The College is currently researching new programs to deliver to students which will increase student head count and remedy the state s need for a skilled workforce in numerous high demand occupations. Gogebic Community College continues to strive to become more employment market sensitive and is investing time and resources to determine the programs and services that need to be invested in to become the regional educational learning resource center. Investing in these identifiable programs will make the College more profitable and bring resources to students, staff, and community members that were never before available. The College continues to diversify its income streams, but with the State of Michigan reducing funding to education and increasing mandatory retirement contributions, the task of educating students and maintaining tuition restraint is becoming stressed. The College will enter the 2011-2012 fiscal year with 3.4% reduction in appropriations from the State of Michigan. The College continues to keep tuition as affordable as possible and increase student retention rates as shown by numerous citations the College has received for its efforts over the past years. The College is positioned to remain sustainable and is dedicated to providing a quality education to the student body even in the economic times that are encompassing the institution currently. The Gogebic Range has two separate mining projects underway in our service region. The projects are at different levels of progression and the College has been in contact with the employers to provide training for the organization's workforce. The College will stay in contact with the companies to continue to provide any information on educational services that the College can facilitate. 13

Reporting for business-type activities is based on all applicable GASB pronouncements, as well as certain applicable Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements, except for those pronouncements that conflict with GASB pronouncements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with criteria established by GASB for determining the various governmental organizations to be included in the reporting entity. These criteria include significant operational or financial relationships with the College. Based on application of the criteria, the College has one component unit.

Cash and Investments - Cash includes cash on hand, demand deposits and certificates of deposit with a maturity date of less than three months. Investments include certificates of deposit with a maturity date of more than three months, mutual funds and United States government securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Capital Assets Assets with a stated cost or a market value at date of gift of $5,000 or more are capitalized and depreciated. Office equipment items are capitalized and depreciated, regardless of cost. Major renovations of $20,000 or more to buildings or other long-lived assets are considered for capitalization and depreciation. The Dean of Business Services has final authority over capitalization determinations. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, as follows: Land improvements 20 years Buildings 20-50 years Equipment 5-15 years Capitalized Interest Interest incurred on debt related to the construction of fixed assets, net of interest earned on the funds prior to distribution, is capitalized as part of the assets.

Unrestricted Net Assets Net assets not meeting either criteria above are considered unrestricted. 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

There are three types of plans enrollees can be participating in Basic Plan or the Member Investment Plan (MIP), which are defined benefit plans, or the Pension Plus Plan, which combines a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan. Each plan is described below: MIP members enrolled in MIP prior to January 1, 1990, contribute a permanently fixed rate of 3.9% of gross wages. Members first hired between January 1, 1990 and June 30, 2010 and returning members who did not work between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1989, contribute at the following graduated permanently fixed contribution rate: 3% of the first $5,000; 3.6% of $5,001 through $15,000; 4.3% of all wages over $15,000. For members hired after July 1, 2008, the rate is 6.4% of all wages over $15,000. Basic Plan members make no contributions. For a limited period ended December 31, 1992, an active Basic Plan member could enroll in the MIP by paying the contributions that would have been made had enrollment occurred initially on January 1, 1987, or on the date of hire, plus interest. MIP contributions at the rate of 3.9% of gross wages begin at enrollment. Market rate interest is posted to member accounts on July 1 on all MIP monies on deposit for 12 months. If a member leaves MPSERS service and no pension is payable, the member s accumulated contribution plus interest, if any, is refundable. Pension Plus members are those who first worked on or after July 1, 2010. The members contribute to the defined benefit portion using the same graduated rates as the MIP members use. The College contributed to the defined benefit portion plan at the following rates: 15.44%, 17.91% and 19.16% for the time periods listed below. The members have the option to participate in the defined contribution portion of the plan where members could contribute 2% or higher and the College matches the contribution up to 1%. 32
