cash flows thereof for the fiscal year 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 a report on our consideration of South Florida
Community College‘s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, rules, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters included under the heading
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS
. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and 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.
The MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS on pages 3 through 12 is not a required part of the
basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries
of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary
information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Respectfully submitted,
David W. Martin, CPA

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 South Florida Community College‘s operating results.
These two statements report South Florida Community College‘s net assets and changes in them. You can think of
the College’s net assets, the difference between assets and liabilities, as one way to measure the College’s financial
health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the College’s net assets are one indication of
whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider many other nonfinancial
factors, such as certain trends, student retention, condition of the buildings, and the safety of the campus, to assess
the College’s overall financial health.
These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the
accounting used by most private-sector institutions. All of the current fiscal year’s revenues and expenses are taken
into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.
A condensed statement of assets, liabilities, and net assets of the College and its component unit for the respective
fiscal years is shown in the following table:

The increase in net assets is primarily attributable to a $2 million increase in current assets and $3 million increase in
capital assets due to the completion of the Health and Science Building and the renovation of buildings on the
Highlands campus. The increase in assets was offset by a $1.6 million decrease in current liabilities due to the
completion of the Health and Science Building.

GASB Statement No. 35 categorizes revenues as either operating or nonoperating. Operating revenues generally
result from exchange transactions where each of the parties to the transaction either give up or receive something of
equal or similar value.

College operating revenue changes were the result of the following factors:
¾ Net student tuition decreased by $41,650 after the scholarship allowance. This is a bit misleading given
increased enrollment and increased fee rates. However, scholarships and scholarship allowance increased
$241,792 so the net tuition recognized on the statements is less even though more was charged and received
for tuition.
¾ Federal grants decreased by $1.3 million and State grants decreased by $478,863. This was primarily caused by
the State funding the Florida Center for Dual Addictions directly rather than indirectly through the College
with a grant containing a mixture of Federal and State dollars. Additionally, a private grant was not renewed
and that contributed significantly to the $99,419 decrease in nongovernmental grants and contracts.
¾ Sales and services of educational activities increased by $134,719. The increase was caused by an overall
increase of activity for ancillaries. Conversely, auxiliary revenues decreased by $41,049. The small overall
decrease was caused by small declines to auxiliary activities.
Component unit operating revenues increased $27,899 due to an increase in rental income.
Operating Expenses
Expenses are categorized as operating or nonoperating. The majority of the College’s expenses are operating
expenses as defined by GASB Statement No. 35. GASB gives financial reporting entities the choice of reporting
operating expenses in the functional or natural classifications. The College has chosen to report the expenses in
their natural classification on the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets and has displayed the
functional classification in the notes to financial statements.
Operating expenses for the College and its component unit for the respective fiscal years are presented in the
following table:
