CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE As the newly elected Chairman of the Florida Prepaid College Board, I would like to thank you for the privilege to serve you as a board member of the Florida Prepaid College Board since 2001, as Vice Chairman for the past three years and now as Chairman. For the past 21 years, the Florida Prepaid College Board has been offering Florida families a secure and tax-free method to financially prepare for higher education. It is my pleasure to share with you the 2008/2009 Annual Report of the Florida Prepaid College Plan and the Florida College Investment Plan. This report highlights the financial strength and the college savings success of the Florida Prepaid College Plan and the Florida College Investment Plan during one of the most challenging financial cycles in history. One out of 10 Florida children, from newborns to high school students, has a Florida Prepaid College Plan or a College Investment Plan, making the program the largest and most successful prepaid college plan in the country. The Florida College Investment Plan continues to grow at a steady pace, offering a complementary savings vehicle for Florida Prepaid College Plan participants. A few key program accomplishments include: • Families have purchased over 1.3 million Florida Prepaid College Plans for more than 918,000 children • More than 238,000 students have gone to college using their Florida Prepaid College Plan benefits • $1.3 billion in Florida Prepaid College Plan payments have been made to Florida's public universities and colleges over the past 21 years • More than 27,800 active Florida College Investment Plan accounts with a market value of over $152 million under management • 62% of Florida College Investment Plan owners have a Florida Prepaid College Plan The Florida Prepaid College Board's first priority is always the safety of the money entrusted to us by families. The Florida Prepaid College Trust Fund remains financially strong. The Board contracts with a leading independent actuarial firm, Ernst & Young LLP, to determine the adequacy of the Trust Fund. They have determined the Trust Fund is actuarially sound, with the assets totaling $8.7 billion and liabilities of $8.3 billion. This has been an unprecedented year with a turbulent financial market, ongoing increases of college-related costs and an economy that makes preparing for higher education difficult for many families. Throughout our history, we have been challenged by those who suggest that the funds held by the Board should be invested more aggressively. Our highest priority continues to be the safety and soundness of the Trust Fund. During this period, the Board continued its disciplined market investment strategy and maintained a positive actuarial reserve balance throughout the recent market volatility. The assurance the Florida Prepaid College Plan offers a family is more valuable than ever and you should have the peace of mind knowing the Trust Fund is safe and secure. I hope after you read this report, you will share my confidence in our ability to be a key partner in the future of Florida higher education. Sincerely, Duane L. Ottenstroer Chairman Florida Prepaid College Board 00000484671 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org

OPENING DOORS Since its start in 1987, the Florida Prepaid College Plan has become the largest program of its kind nationwide with more than 1.36 million plans purchased. An entire generation of Florida Prepaid College Plan students has gone to college. Here are a few families sharing their experiences with the Prepaid College Plan and explaining how it opened doors for them: "Our parents and grandparents instilled in us at a very early age the importance of a college education. It was a great priority for my husband and myself to ensure our children would have the opportunity to attend universities, and purchasing the Florida Prepaid College program has given us much peace of mind regarding the future of our four boys as it pertains to their education. It's one of the best gifts we will ever give them!" – Christine and Julio Acosta, Miami "I selected the Florida Prepaid plan for actually two reasons: the main reason was the flexibility. I consider that to be a big factor, to allow me to actually go in and select if I want to actually save for a 2 year junior college or a 4 year major university.... Another reason I selected the Florida Prepaid College Plan is right now college is so expensive and my daughter is only six, so by the time she enters college, 12 years from now, it will likely be astronomical. I know I can't afford it then, so I'm saving now to allow me to have the opportunity to have her to go to college stress free. I had to pay my way through college and work while going to college and that makes it difficult. And I really want her to focus on her education and not how it's going to get paid, so I decided to make the sacrifice to pay for her education now, rather than wait until later." – Ronschelle Laidler, Jacksonville "With college rates getting as high as they are, I think this is a good way to help combat that a little bit. I like the fact that we're locked into the plan rates for this year. I didn't want Bright Futures to be the only option we had going. For our two kids, we chose the Florida Prepaid plans for some sort of assurance." – Joe & Cathy McMullian, Tallahassee "I don't want my children to graduate college in debt. Florida Prepaid College Plans is the best way to save money for college, while paying significantly less than we would when our children are in college. As well, the fact that money which is invested in the program is refundable is exactly what sold us on signing up. We are as shocked by rising college prices as anyone else, but do we have a choice? No. So the smartest thing to do is to start saving early." – Pennie Goldmann, Ft. Lauderdale 0000484572 "We had savings accounts for both of our children, but nothing specifically set aside for their education. When our second child was born, it became obvious that the smartest thing we could do for their future would be to enroll them in the Florida Prepaid College Plan. If we didn't give both of them the same opportunities that would really be unfair and this was just the smartest way for us to do it. We feel very secure knowing that both of our daughters will have the funds available to use for college, regardless of the economy." – Selena Talbert, Pensacola Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org 2 www.myfloridaprepaid.com

FLORIDA PREPAID COLLEGE BOARD ABOUT THE FLORIDA PREPAID COLLEGE BOARD The Stanley G. Tate Prepaid College Program was created in 1987 to provide Florida families with an affordable means to save for their children's future college education. Stanley G. Tate was instrumental in the early development of the Florida Prepaid College Board and served tirelessly as Chairman of the Board during the program's first 18 years. Through his leadership and guidance, Mr. Tate has impacted the lives of thousands of Florida's children by providing them with the opportunity to achieve their true potential. In recognition of Mr. Tate's service, Governor Jeb Bush signed a bill into law on June 26, 2006 naming the program the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program. Since 1988, the Florida Prepaid College Board has provided families with a way to prepay the cost of college tuition, required fees and dormitory housing for future use at any Florida public college or university through the Florida Prepaid College Plan. In addition to the Florida Prepaid College Plan, the Board offers another way to help families save for their children's college education: the Florida College Investment Plan. Both plans are sponsored by the State of Florida and managed by the Board. They are authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, so earnings on withdrawals for higher education expenses are tax-free. The Florida College Investment Plan offers a complementary savings vehicle for Florida Prepaid College Plan participants. The Florida Prepaid College Board is an agency of the State of Florida. The Board has seven members who establish policy and monitor performance for the Florida Prepaid College Plan and the Florida College Investment Plan. Board members are appointed and serve without compensation. The Executive Director and staff manage the day-to-day operations of the Board and its programs. The Board's first priority is always the safety of the money entrusted to us by Florida families. The assurance the Florida Prepaid College Plan offers a family is more valuable than ever and we continue our commitment to be a key partner in the future of Florida education. HELPING STUDENTS & FAMILIES AVOID DEBT A college education is important to your child's future. And, as the business world becomes more complex and competitive, a college degree is that much more important. An overwhelming majority of students accumulate large debt to attend college. Two out of three U.S. college graduates accumulate an average of $19,202 in student loans along with their diplomas, according to the U.S. Department of Education. The burden of student debt has more than doubled since the early 1990s. The chances of graduating debt free are enhanced by saving in advance with the Florida Prepaid College Plans. Some families and students with Florida Prepaid College Plans say they have been able to avoid taking out student loans. Earning a bachelor's degree without accumulating debt may broaden the opportunities for college graduates to enroll in professional or graduate school, start a family, begin a business or buy a home. AFFORDABILITY Keeping the Florida Prepaid College Plan affordable is critical to meeting the needs of Florida families that come from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, races, income levels and geographic areas. Since 1988, nearly two out of three Florida Prepaid College Plan families report household incomes of less than $70,000 at the time of plan purchase. The Board reaches out to lower and middle-income families to inform them about the advantages and affordability of saving for college. As a college education becomes increasingly challenging for many families due to increases in the basic costs of running a household and raising a child, the Board encourages families to begin saving at a child's early age. 00000484674 4 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org

FLORIDA PREPAID COLLEGE PLAN The Florida Prepaid College Plan has given families an affordable way to prepay college tuition for future use at Florida's 11 public universities and 28 community colleges (including the colleges offering baccalaureate degrees) for over 21 years. Additional prepaid plans cover the tuition differential fee, local fees and dormitory housing being charged by Florida's state universities. The Florida Prepaid College Plan is guaranteed by the State of Florida1. The value of the plan may be transferred to most private and out-of-state colleges and select technical schools. SECURE INVESTMENTS A conservative investment strategy is used for the Florida Prepaid College Plan, with customer payments invested based on a Comprehensive Investment Plan structured to ensure investments keep pace with increases over time in tuition, tuition differential fee, local fee and dormitory costs. The Board has adopted an asset allocation policy which limits the amounts of equities to 15 percent of the market value of the total portfolio, or the most current actuarial reserve balance as determined by the Board's actuary, whichever is less. Fixed income investments include U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. Equity investments include large capitalization growth, large capitalization value, small capitalization core, and S&P 500 Index stocks. When a student with a Florida Prepaid College Plan is ready for college, the State of Florida guarantees payment to Florida's public universities and community colleges (including the colleges granting baccalaureate degrees) of the costs covered by the Florida Prepaid College Plan. EASY TO ENROLL Most customers enroll online every year. More than 80 percent of applications for the Prepaid College Plan were completed online during the 2008/2009 open enrollment. Updates to the website were made in 2008 to further increase ease and utility, and therefore improve the overall user experience. Using the 1-800-552-GRAD (4723) hotline, customers also may request an Enrollment Kit and paper application in English or Spanish, or speak to a customer service representative for more information. Open enrollment for the Florida Prepaid College Plan was October 20, 2008 through January 31, 2009. Families could sign up after the deadline but were subject to plan prices effective October 2009. SAVINGS CHOICES FOR FAMILIES A total of 36,216 Prepaid College tuition plans were purchased by families during 2008/2009, bringing the total number of children and students enrolled in the plan to 918,294. The Florida Prepaid College tuition plan covers the registration fee, which includes the tuition fee, financial aid fee, building fee, and Capital Improvement Trust Fund fee charged by Florida's 11 public universities and 28 community colleges (including those colleges granting baccalaureate degrees). Tuition plans may be purchased for most Florida children, from newborns to students in the eleventh grade. To qualify for the Florida Prepaid College Plan, the child or the child's parent or guardian must have been a Florida resident for the past 12 consecutive months. Tuition represents just 16 percent of the total cost of attending a public university in Florida. A student at Florida's public universities also will be required to pay the tuition differential fee and local fees. For children in the eighth grade or below, the Florida Prepaid College Plan offers options to save for required college expenses beyond tuition such as the tuition differential fee, local fees and dormitory housing. 00990484676 1Financially guaranteed by state of Florida.

SENDING STUDENTS TO COLLEGE TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE The chance a child will go to college is enhanced when parents or grandparents save for college with the Florida Prepaid College Plan. The Florida Prepaid College Plan pays the cost of tuition (and other prepaid college expenses, if purchased) at the time the student enrolls in a Florida public university or community college. Should the student decide to go to a private or out-of-state college, the full value of the Plan, what would be paid to a Florida college for that beneficiary, can be transferred semester by semester to that school. When students began fall semester 2008 classes, 88,578 students with Florida Prepaid College Plans were enrolled at colleges and universities. Most Florida Prepaid College Plan students, 44,562 of them, attended Florida public universities. Another 29,265 students attended state community colleges. And 13,206 attended private, out-of-state or technical schools.

FLORIDA COLLEGE INVESTMENT PLAN The Florida College Investment Plan offers families a flexible way to save for their children's college education. Families decide how much money to put into their college savings account and how to invest their funds. They can save at a pace that fits their family's budget. Families can open a Florida College Investment Plan account with amounts as little as $25 a month or an initial single payment of $250. The Florida College Investment Plan allows families to choose among five investment options. Florida College Investment Plan earnings are tax-free when used for any qualified higher education expense such as tuition, fees, room and board, books and even graduate or professional school. The Florida College Investment Plan can be used at almost any public or private university, community college or technical school anywhere in the U.S. The plan can be used by adults returning to college for graduate school or professional certification. There were 28,891 active Florida College Investment Plan accounts as of the June 30, 2009. That was a 4 percent increase from the previous year. The total amount invested in the Florida College Investment Plan was $152 million as of June 30, 2009, approximately the same amount which was invested on June 30, 2008. The average account balance was $5,313. Introduced in 2002, the Florida College Investment Plan is complementary to the Florida Prepaid College Plan. Families can participate in one or both plans, depending on what best fits their budget and their college goals for their children. Sixty-two percent of families with Florida College Investment Plans also have Florida Prepaid College Plans and 95 percent are Florida residents. Participants in the Florida College Investment Plan do not have to be Florida residents. Unlike the Florida Prepaid College Plan, the Florida College Investment Plan exposes the account owner to investment risk, and there is no guarantee that the value of the investment will grow. Potential account owners are given the Florida College Investment Plan Disclosure Statement, which discloses the potential risk of an account. LOW FEES Unlike some other 529 plans, the Florida College Investment Plan charges no commissions or sales fees. There is an annual administrative fee, which is 3/4 of one percent (75 basis points or 0.0075) of the account balance.

Q & A's I have a Florida Prepaid College Plan. Why also sign up for the Florida College Investment Plan? With a Florida Prepaid College Plan, you have prepaid some of your child's college costs. The Florida College Investment Plan gives you a way to save for extra expenses not covered by your Florida Prepaid College Plan, including books, off-campus housing and the additional costs of most private and out-of-state colleges and graduate or professional schools. Who can establish an account in the Florida College Investment Plan? Anyone, including parents, grandparents, other relatives, friends and even businesses, can open an account. You can even open an account for yourself to save for an additional degree or certification to advance your career. The account owner and beneficiary (student) do not have to be Florida residents. Most popular investment option? Many families choose the Age-Based/Years to Enrollment Investment Option, which automatically adjusts the level of investment risk to match the child's age, so the investment risk is higher when the child is young and the risk is lowered automatically as the child gets closer to enrolling in college.

CRI CARR RIGGS & INGRAM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Chairman and Members Florida Prepaid College Board Tallahassee, Florida We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities, of the Florida Prepaid College Board (the Board), a component unit of the State of Florida, State Board of Administration as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, which comprise the Board's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. We have also audited the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit of the Board as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009 as displayed in the Board's basic financial statements. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Board, a component unit of the State of Florida, State Board of Administration are intended to present the financial position, and the changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows of only that portion of the business-type activities, the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit information of the State that is attributable to the transactions of the Board. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of State of Florida as of June 30, 2009, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the business-type activities, the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit of the Board, as of June 30, 2009, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows thereof for the 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 our report dated October 1, 2009, on our consideration of the Board's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, administrative rules, 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. The management's discussion and analysis as listed in the table of contents 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. Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC Tallahassee, Florida October 1, 2009 14 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org 40000434684

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Management's discussion and analysis of financial performance for the Florida Prepaid College Board ("the Board"), provides an overview of the Board's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Please read this information in conjunction with the Board's financial statements, which begin on page 19. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Board presents the following basic financial statements: a Statement of Net Assets - Enterprise Fund, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets - Enterprise Fund, a Statement of Cash Flows - Enterprise Fund, a Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets, and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets. The enterprise fund statements offer financial information about The Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program which the Board operates like a business. Fiduciary fund statements provide information about the financial relationships - like the Florida College Savings Program and the Florida Prepaid College Foundation, Inc. - in which the Board acts as a trustee for the benefit of others, to whom the resources in question belong. The Board's financial position is measured in terms of resources (assets) owned and obligations (liabilities) owed on a given date. This information is reported on the Statement of Net Assets - Enterprise Fund, which reflects the Board's resources in relation to its obligations. The excess of assets over liabilities are equal to net assets. The Board's financial position, or net assets, is one way to measure the Board's financial health. Information regarding the results of operations during the current year is reported in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. This statement shows the increase or decrease in net assets during the year as a result of operations. The Board is the trustee, or fiduciary, for the Florida College Savings Program and the Florida Prepaid College Foundation, Inc. The funds in these programs can only be used for the trust beneficiaries. The Board is responsible for ensuring that assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. All of the Board's fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net assets and a statement of changes in fiduciary net assets. 00000484685 15 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - Total market value of investments, net of Obligations Under Securities Lending which represents collateral held for securities on loan, at June 30, 2009 were $7.0 billion as compared to $6.7 billion at June 30, 2008. - Projected value of assets exceeds the projected value of liabilities by $422 million per the June 30, 2009 actuarial adequacy report prepared by Ernst & Young, LLP as compared to $775 million per the June 30, 2008 report. The actuarial reserve is determined by deducting future contract benefits and expenses from the sum of investments, future contract payments receivable, and fees. The decrease in the actuarial reserve is primarily due to a decrease in equity values and an increase in liabilities for new and existing contracts, which was partially offset by interest on investments. - Tuition and housing benefits payable increased from $7.517 billion at June 30, 2008 to $8.280 billion at June 30, 2009, due primarily to new contract sales and projected increases in the university tuition rates. - Total number of contracts purchased for the 2008-2009 enrollment period as of June 30, 2009 was 67,791 (36,113 Tuition, 10,545 Tuition Differential Fee, 14,424 Local Fee, and 6,709 Dormitory).

New contract purchases caused an increase in the tuition and housing contracts receivable and revenue and tuition and housing benefits payable and expenses. - The total 2008-2009 gross investment portfolio return of 2.4% was due to dividend and interest income, which was partially offset by unrealized losses in the market value of the portfolio.

The equity segment of the portfolio returned a negative 23.7% and constituted 8.4% of the total portfolio.

The Board was created pursuant to Chapter 1009.971(1) of the Florida Statutes to administer the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program (the "Prepaid Plan") and the Florida College Savings Program (the "Investment Plan"). The Board is a component unit of the State of Florida, SBA. The legislation which created the Prepaid Plan was passed in 1987 and the Prepaid Plan was implemented in fall 1988. The Prepaid Plan was created to provide a medium through which the cost of a state postsecondary education may be paid in advance of enrollment at a rate lower than the projected corresponding cost at the time of actual enrollment. The Prepaid Plan is authorized by Chapter 1009.98 of the Florida Statutes and governed by Board Rules. The State of Florida (the "State") guarantees to meet the obligations of the Prepaid Plan for qualified beneficiaries if funds in the Prepaid Plan are insufficient. In the event that the State determines the Prepaid Plan to be financially infeasible, the State may discontinue the provisions of the Prepaid Plan. If discontinued, any qualified beneficiary who has been accepted by, and is enrolled in, or is within five years of enrollment at, a state college, university or postsecondary institution, (or other institution as specified in the contract), would be able to exercise the complete benefits of the Prepaid Plan. All other contract holders would receive a refund with an additional amount for interest at prevailing rates. The legislation which created the Investment Plan was passed in 2000 and the Investment Plan was implemented in fall 2002, to provide a vehicle whereby participants can save for qualified educational expenses. The Investment Plan is authorized by Chapter 1009.981 of the Florida Statutes and is also governed by Board Rules. Participant contributions are collected and invested in accordance with Investment Plan provisions and participant direction. Investment Plan provisions clearly state that the participant contributions are solely the debt of the Investment Plan and not the debt of the State. Participants retain 22 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org 100000484692
Page 50
ownership of all amounts on deposit with the Investment Plan, up to the dates of distribution on behalf of designated beneficiaries. Participant contributions and the earnings derived therefrom are held in trust for the participants. The Investment Plan will continue in existence until it is terminated by law. Upon termination of the Investment Plan, all deposits would be returned to the participants and any unclaimed assets in the Investment Plan would revert to the Florida Prepaid College Foundation in accordance with general laws regarding unclaimed property of the Florida Prepaid College Board. In evaluating the Board as a reporting entity, management has considered all potential component units (traditionally separate reporting entities) for which the Board may or may not be financially accountable and, if accountable, be included in the Board's financial statements. The accompanying financial statements present the financial position and changes in financial position of the Board's discretely presented component unit, the Florida Prepaid College Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation). The Board is a legally separate organization from the Foundation. However, the Board is financially accountable for the Foundation. In accordance with governmental accounting standards, the Board (the primary government) is financially accountable if it appoints a majority of the organization's governing board and (1) it is able to impose its will on the organization or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefit or to impose specific financial burden on the Board. Additionally, the primary government is required to consider other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Board's analysis disclosed no other component units that should be included in the Board's financial statements. | Component Unit | Justification for Inclusion in the Reporting Entity | Separate Financial Statements | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Foundation | The Board's chair and executive director jointly appoint a majority of the Foundation's board and is able to impose its will, as defined by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, on the Foundation. | Available upon request<br>P. O. Box 1117<br>Tallahassee, Florida 32302<br>(850) 922-6740 | The Foundation is a direct-support organization of the Board and is authorized by section 1009.984 of the Florida Statutes. The Foundation was incorporated under the provisions of chapter 617 and approved by the Secretary of State. The legislation was passed in 1989 and the Foundation was implemented in 1990. The Foundation administers the Stanley Tate Project STARS Scholarship Program (formerly the Florida Prepaid Tuition Scholarship Program) and other scholarship programs, on behalf of the Board. The Florida Prepaid Tuition Scholarship Program provides prepaid tuition scholarships to economically disadvantaged, at-risk students. The accompanying financial statements do not include the funds and accounts of the State of Florida, and therefore, are not intended to present the financial position and the results of operations of the State of Florida in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Prepaid Plan Proprietary funds report activities generally financed and operated like private businesses and include enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report activities for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services. The Prepaid Plan charges an actuarially determined price to contract purchasers. The contract price and investment earnings thereon are intended to be sufficient to provide for the future costs of the services provided. As such, the Prepaid Plan is accounted for as an enterprise fund. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in connection with a proprietary fund's ongoing operations. Operating revenues and expenses for the Prepaid Plan include the contract revenue and expenses associated with college tuition, housing and local fees as well as the investment earnings and associated expenses thereof given that the investment earnings are taken into consideration in determining contract prices. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. 39694800000 www.myfloridaprepaid.com 23 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org

Investment Plan Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net assets and changes in net assets. Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and therefore cannot be used to support the government's own programs. The fiduciary fund category includes pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds and agency funds. Trust funds are used to report resources held and administered by the reporting government when it is acting in a fiduciary capacity for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Private-purpose trust funds are used to report all trust arrangements, excluding those recognized in pension, investment trust or agency funds, under which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments. In determining the basis of presentation, management considered the definitions of each of the four fiduciary fund types as presented in Statement No. 34 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments and determined the private-purpose trust fund category to be most definitive of the funds representing the Investment Plan and the Foundation. Basis of Accounting These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Enterprise funds and fiduciary type funds use the economic resources measurement focus and thus, the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as earned and expenses are recognized when services or benefits are received. The Foundation receives scholarship funds from donor organizations with instructions to purchase contracts from the Prepaid Plan for specified third-party beneficiaries. The Foundation has no discretion in determining the parties to be benefited and it must deliver the contracts to the specified beneficiaries. Receipt of those scholarship funds is not a contribution to the Foundation, nor is the delivery of the contracts an expense of the Foundation. NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unexpended funds from the donors are classified as restricted assets and amounts due to beneficiaries in the statement of net assets, and totaled $4,350,773 at June 30, 2009. Equipment Equipment is reported at historical cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to seven years. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include certain investments in highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents held at Northern Trust are classified as investments in accordance with GASB 9 Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting Investments Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is the amount at which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Quoted market prices are used to determine fair value. Compensated Absences The liability for compensated absences reported in the financial statements consists of unpaid, accumulated annual and sick leave balances. The liability has been calculated using the vesting method, in which leave amounts for both employees who currently are eligible to receive termination payments and other employees who are expected to become eligible in the future to receive such payments upon termination are included. Revenue Recognition Prepaid tuition and housing contracts are set up to be paid under either a lump-sum plan, a five-year installment plan or a 24 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org 09001674047694
Page 52
monthly payment plan. The lump-sum plan is a one-time payment when the child is enrolled in the Prepaid Plan. The five-year installment plan provides for 55 equal monthly payments. The monthly payment plan provides for equal payments each month until the child enters college. Revenues from the three payment plans are recognized as earned when due in accordance with contract provisions. Additionally, contract premiums revenue includes the annual change in the actuarially determined net present value of existing contract payments to be received in the future. Delinquent Fees and Contracts Receivable Delinquent fees and contracts receivable are the total due as of June 30, 2009 on contract payments that are past due. Management considers these amounts fully collectible as any contracts that remain delinquent past six months are cancelled and all fees are deducted from contract payments already received prior to cancellation. Future Contract Premiums and Other Receivables Future contract premiums receivable represents the actuarially determined present value of future receipts on contracts existing as of June 30, 2009. Future other receivable represents the actuarially determined present value of future revenue receivables from late payments, non sufficient funds fees, and cancellation fees due as of June 30, 2009. Future Contract Benefits and Expenses Payable Future contract benefits payable represents the actuarially determined present value of future contract benefit obligations of the Prepaid Plan. Future contract benefits payable includes return of contributions, which is the actuarially determined present value of future cancellation refund payments to participants. Future expenses payable represents the actuarially determined present value of future administrative expenses of the Prepaid Plan. Interfund Transactions During the course of normal operations, the Board engages in transactions between funds. These transactions are reflected as operating transfers or as interfund receivables and payables. Management's intent to reimburse a fund determines whether or not the interfund transaction is recorded as a transfer or a receivable. The administrative expenses of the Investment Plan are funded in part by operating transfers from the Prepaid Plan. Income Taxes The Foundation is a non-profit organization, exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is shown in the accompanying financial statements. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND RISK INVESTMENT DISCLOSURES Deposits Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Board's deposits may not be returned to them. Cash deposits consisted of interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand accounts at two financial institutions which are entirely insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation or by collateral pursuant to The Florida Security for Public Deposits Act (the Act). The Act establishes guidelines for qualification and participation by banks and savings associations, procedures for the administration of the collateral requirements and characteristics of eligible collateral. Under the Act, the Board's deposits in qualified public depositories are totally insured. Deposits are presented in the basic financial statements at cost plus accrued interest which is also the market or fair value. At June 30, 2009, the carrying amount of the Prepaid Plan's and the Investment Plan's deposits at Wachovia Bank was $507,161 and $465,824, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the carrying amount of the Foundation's deposits at Sun Trust Bank was $386,530. At June 30, 2009, the Foundation also had $8,575,058 on deposit with Sun Trust Bank in a short term money market fund that is not insured under the Act. The Foundation believes the credit risk related to these balances is minimal. In addition to cash deposits in operating accounts, cash was received as collateral for securities lent under the Security Lending Agreement. At June 30, 2009, the Prepaid Plan and the Investment Plan had $21,097,069 and $243,352, respectively, invested in short-term cash and cash equivalents that is not insured under the Act. 25 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org 00000484605

Investments Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty, the Board will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At June 30, 2009 all investments, except those held in a short term investment fund at the State of Florida, State Board of Administration (SBA), were registered in the name of the Florida Prepaid College Board and were held in the possession of the Florida Prepaid College Board's custodial bank, The Northern Trust Company.

Credit Risk The Board's policy is that investments in debt obligations and preferred stock may not be rated less than Baa/BBB as established by two nationally recognized rating services. Any exceptions to the policy will be noted and a statement provided indicating the steps to be taken to bring the portfolio back into compliance with the policy. U.S. government bonds, index linked government bonds and certain government agency securities (Government National Mortgage Association securities) are explicitly backed by the full faith of the U.S. government and are not considered to have credit risk. Certain debt obligations issued by federal government-sponsored entities, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the Federal National Mortgage Association, are not explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and are subject to credit risk. These debt obligations are normally not rated by rating agencies and therefore have been included as unrated government agencies under the credit quality ratings when unavailable.

Interest Rate Risk Through the Board's Comprehensive Investment Plan (CIP), the Board controls exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates by using an enhanced immunization style of management. This style of investment management means the liabilities of the Prepaid Plan will be immunized by structuring the assets in such a way that the value of the Prepaid Plan's assets increase (decrease) in conjunction with increases (decreases) in the value of its liabilities due to changes in interest rates. Certain investment types are managed using different techniques, such as effective duration method and the weighted average maturity method. Investment types related to debt portfolios are presented using the effective duration method. Investments types related to security lending transactions are presented using the weighted average maturity. As of June 30, 2009, the Prepaid Plan had the following debt securities subject to interest rate risk (excluding debt securities purchased with cash collateral received under the Securities Lending Agreement): Prepaid Plan | Asset Category | Fair Value | Effective Duration (in years) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Asset backed securities | $ 110,182,939 | 1.84 | | Commercial mortgage backed securities | 367,988,120 | 4.76 | | Corporate bonds | 660,858,727 | 6.73 | | Non government backed CMOs | 17,863,476 | 1.81 | | Government agencies | 607,212,405 | 9.20 | | Government mortgage backed securities | 401,379,850 | 4.00 | | Government bonds | 3,707,670,512 | 10.98 | | Index linked government bonds | 274,604,430 | 4.40 | | Guaranteed fixed income | 134,782,463 | 1.59 | | Total fair value | $ 6,282,542,922 | | | Portfolio effective duration | | 8.87 | The total duration of the Prepaid Plan portfolio should not differ from the total duration of the benchmark by more than six months.

As of June 30, 2009, the Prepaid Plan and Investment Plan had the following debt securities purchased with cash collateral received under the Securities Lending Agreement subject to interest rate risk: Securities Lending | Asset Category | Prepaid Plan Fair Value | Investment Plan Fair Value | Total | Weighted Average Maturity (in years) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Asset backed securities | $ 275,014,823 | $ 3,172,166 | $ 278,186,989 | 0.0614 | | Corporate bonds | 560,296,816 | 6,462,759 | 566,759,575 | 0.1049 | | Total Fair Value | $ 835,311,639 | $ 9,634,925 | $ 844,946,564 | | Securities Lending Under the provisions of the Securities Lending Authorization Agreement, the Board lends securities to broker-dealers and other entities (borrowers) for collateral that will be returned for the same securities in the future. The types of securities lent include U.S. government agency bonds, U.S. government bonds, U.S. common stock and U.S. corporate bonds. The Board's investment trustee manages the securities lending program and receives cash, certain governmental securities or irrevocable bank letters of credit as collateral from the borrower. The non-cash collateral cannot be pledged or sold by the Board unless the borrower defaults, so the non-cash collateral is not reported on the statement of net assets. Collateral cash, securities and letters of credit are initially pledged at 102% of the market value plus any accrued interest of the securities lent for U.S. securities and 105% of the market value plus any accrued interest for non-U.S. securities. Additional collateral must be provided by the next business day if the value of the collateral falls to less than 100.5% of the market value of the securities lent. All securities loans can be terminated on demand by either the lender or the borrower, although the average term of the Prepaid Plan's loans was approximately 68 days and the average term of the Investment Plan's loans was approximately 41 days as of June 30, 2009. Cash open collateral is invested in a short-term investment pool, the Florida Custom Collateral Section, which had an interest rate sensitivity of 20 days as of June 30, 2009. Cash collateral may also be invested separately in "term loans", in which case the investments match the loan term. For the Prepaid Plan, securities lent to others under security lending agreements with cash collateral had a fair value of $2,284,968,141 as of June 30, 2009. For the Investment Plan, securities lent to others under security lending agreements with cash collateral had a fair value of $25,913,876 as of June 30, 2009. Both the Prepaid Plan and the Investment Plan received cash as collateral for the securities lent to other borrowers. The cash collateral is invested in asset backed securities, corporate bonds, non-government backed CMO's, government agencies, government bonds and repurchase agreements. 00000484699 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org

As of June 30, 2009, the Board has no credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts the Board owes the borrowers exceeds the amounts the borrowers owe the Board. The Agreement with the Board's trustee requires it to indemnify the Board if the borrowers fail to return the securities or fail to pay the Board for income distributions by the securities' issuers while the securities are on loan if the loss to the Board is a result of the negligence or intentional misconduct of the trustee. Risks and Uncertainties The Board's Comprehensive Investment Plan allows a maximum allocation of 30% to securitized debt obligations, including, but not limited to, mortgage pass-throughs and asset-backed securities within the Prepaid Plan's fixed income portfolio. As of June 30, 2009, the fixed income segment of the Prepaid Plan portfolio had an allocation of 16% for mortgage/asset backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate, delinquencies or defaults, or both, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. NOTE 5 – FUTURE CONTRACT BENEFITS AND EXPENSES PAYABLE The Prepaid Plan's future contract benefits and expenses payable represents the actuarially determined present value of future Prepaid Plan obligations. The following is a summary of changes in long-term future contract benefits payable: | | | | :--- | :--- | | APV of future contract benefits and expenses payable (2009) | $ 8,279,686,953 | | Net assets available | 8,701,994,961 | | Net assets as a percentage of future contract benefits and expenses obligation | 105.1% | The standard measurement is the actuarial present value (APV) of the future contract benefits and expenses obligation. The valuation method reflects the present value of estimated contract benefits and expenses that will be paid in future years and is adjusted for the effects of projected tuition and housing increases and termination of contracts. The net assets available represent assets in trust at market value and the future discounted contract payments adjusted for estimated cancellations. | | | | :--- | :--- | | Net present value of future contract benefits and expenses payable at June 30, 2008 | $ 7,517,251,980 | | Payments for contract benefits | (325,049,995) | | Increase in future contract benefits and expenses payable | 1,087,484,968 | | Net present value of future contract benefits and expenses payable at June 30, 2009 | 8,279,686,953 | | Current portion | 528,228,561 | | Long-term future contract benefits and expenses payable | $ 7,751,458,392 | The following assumptions were used in the actuarial evaluations: - Rate of return^1: 4.34% per annum. - Projected tuition increase: 6.0% compounded annually for community colleges and 6.0% compounded annually for universities^2. - Projected dormitory fee increase: 6.0% compounded annually. - Projected local fee increase: 6.0% compounded annually for community colleges and 5.0% compounded annually for universities. - Projected tuition differential fee increase: Increase from $37.03 at a rate dictated by Conforming Bill 1696 for contracts matriculating from 2012/1213 forward.

00000484702 NOTE 9 - RETIREMENT The Florida Retirement System All permanent full-time employees of the Board participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) Pension Plan, a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit retirement system, administered by the State, and the FRS Investment Plan, a defined contribution plan designed for mobile employees. The FRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The State issues a publicly available report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for FRS. That report may be obtained by writing to Florida Retirement System, State of Florida, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1590. The FRS provides vesting of benefits after six years of creditable service for the Pension Plan and one year of creditable service for the Investment Plan. Normal retirement age is attained at the earlier of thirty years of creditable service regardless of age or retirement at age sixty-two with at least six years of creditable service. Early retirement may be taken anytime; however, there is a five percent benefit reduction for each year prior to normal retirement age. Benefits are computed on the basis of age, average final compensation, creditable years of service and accrual value by membership class. Members are also eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability benefits if permanently disabled or unable to work. The Board contribution requirements are established by Florida Statutes, Chapter 121, Section 121.71 and may be amended by FRS. The Board contribution rate under the uniform rate structure (a blending of both the FRS Pension Plan and the Investment Plan rates) was 8.74% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The plan is non-contributory for employees with all contributions being the obligation of the Board. The Board's contributions to FRS for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $32,530, and were equal to the required contributions. The FRS was amended in July 1998 to add the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP), which was subject to provisions of Section 121.091(13) of Florida Statutes. It permits eligible defined benefit plan members who have reached normal retirement age to defer receipt off monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with an FRS employer. An employee may participate in DROP for a maximum of 60 months after becoming eligible to participate. Additionally, authorized instructional personnel may participate in DROP for up to 36 additional months beyond their initial 60-month participation period. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 the Board had two employees who participated in DROP. The Board contribution requirements are established by Florida Statutes, Chapter 121, Section 121.71 and may be amended by FRS. The Board contribution rate under the uniform rate structure (a blending of both the FRS Pension Plan and the Investment Plan rates) was 9.80% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The plan is non-contributory for employees with all contributions being the obligation of the Board. The Board's contributions to DROP for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $23,146, and were equal to the required contributions. Retiree Health Insurance Subsidiary Program The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidiary (HIS) Program is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363 of the Florida Statues. The benefit is a monthly cash payment to assist retirees of state-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of creditable service completed at the time of retirement multiplied by $5. The payments are at least $30 but not more than $150 per month. To be eligible to receive the HIS, a retiree under a state-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which can include Medicare. The HIS Program is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as set by the Legislature. Employer contributions for the HIS Program are a percentage of gross compensation for all active FRS employees. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the contribution rate was 1.11% of gross payroll. The Board contributions to the HIS program for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $6,881, and were equal to the required contribution. NOTE 10 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Foundation purchases prepaid tuition, dorm and local fee contracts from the Prepaid Plan on behalf of selected scholarship recipients. Prepaid tuition, dorm and local fee contracts at a cost of $24,251,783 were purchased during the year ended June 30, 2009. NOTE 11 - RISK MANAGEMENT The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The Board participates in the State Risk Management Trust Fund which provides property insurance coverage, casualty coverage for the risks of loss related to Federal civil rights and employment actions, workers' compensation, court-awarded attorney fees, automobile liability, and general liability insurance coverage. 32 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org

CRI CARR RIGGS & INGRAM 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 Chairman and Members Florida Prepaid College Board Tallahassee, Florida We have audited the financial statements of the business-type activities, the fiduciary fund type and the discretely presented component unit of the Florida Prepaid College Board (the Board) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, which comprise the Board's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated October 1, 2009. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Accounting Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Board's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal control over financial reporting. A control deficiency 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 misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Board's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Board's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Board's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the Board's internal control. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, administrative rules, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. We have noted other matters pursuant to the Rules of the Auditor General, Chapter 10.550 that we have reported to the management of the Board in a separate letter dated October 1, 2009. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Members of the Board, management, and the Auditor General of the State of Florida and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties.

ACTUARIAL REPORT – ERNST & YOUNG LLP Chairman Ted Hoepner Florida Prepaid College Board 1801 Hermitage Blvd., Suite 210 Tallahassee, FL 32308 We have completed our analysis of the Trust Fund (the "Fund") for the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program (the "Program") as of June 30, 2009. This report presents our findings in the following areas of actuarial analysis: adequacy of the Fund, projection of the Fund's cash flows, analysis of the duration of the Fund's liability, sensitivity analysis of the Fund's actuarial reserve and selected contract prices, and the Fund's Plan Termination Liability. The analysis of the Program's funding was prepared for the Florida Prepaid College Board (the "Board") for the sole purpose of assessing the actuarial adequacy of the Fund. The analyses have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices applicable to similar types of arrangements. The expected value of assets in the Fund exceeds the expected value of liabilities by $422 million, representing 5.1% of liabilities, based on assumptions determined by the Board. In preparing this report we have relied on the asset and contract information provided by the Board for the enrollment periods 1988/1989 - 2008/2009 and on un-audited financial information as of June 30, 2009, also provided by the Board. Ernst & Young LLP August 19, 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background and Scope Ernst & Young LLP (hereafter referred to as "we", "us", "our") was engaged by the Florida Prepaid College Board (the "Board") to determine the adequacy of the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program's (the "Program") Trust Fund (the "Fund") as of June 30, 2009. As part of this engagement, we also provide the Board with a sensitivity analysis of the Fund's actuarial reserve to changes in key assumptions, an analysis of the Program's liability duration and a projection of the Fund's cash flows for use by their investment managers. We have calculated the Plan Termination Liability, which is the liability facing the Board were the Program to be terminated as of June 30, 2009. The scope of our analysis includes only the existing business of the Program in force as of June 30, 2009. It does not include the impact of any future plan participants. This scope is consistent with work we have previously performed for the Board. In preparing our analysis, Ernst & Young relied on data and qualitative information provided to us by the Board. This information included, but was not limited to, descriptions of material legislative changes, attributes of the Program, participant data and the economic and demographic assumptions used to project the Program's actuarial liabilities. We have not sought to confirm the accuracy of the data or the information and explanations provided by management. Our work was limited in scope and more detailed procedures, additional analyses or alternative assumptions or methods of analysis may reveal findings that this work has not. Actual results will differ from those assumed or projected. Our work product is intended solely for the information and use of the management of the Board and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than this specified party. In addition, this report is intended for a reader with a working knowledge of the Program's attributes. Ernst & Young, therefore, assumes no responsibility to any user of the report other than the Board. Any other persons who choose to rely on our report do so entirely at their own risk. In this section, we have summarized the key findings of our analysis and the assumptions that underlie our work. More detailed information is contained in the body of our report. Adequacy of the Fund The fund is actuarially sound. That is, the expected value of assets of the Fund exceeds the expected value of liabilities. We define this excess to be the Actuarial Reserve. The assumptions used to determine the status of the Fund are those set by the Board. The key results are shown on the following page. Figures may not total due to rounding. 34 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org 00000484704

Present Value as of June 30, 2009 Assets Investments* $ 7,002,804,000 Future Contract Premiums 1,692,797,305 Other** 6,393,655 Total Assets $ 8,701,994,961 Liabilities and Actuarial Reserves Future Contract Benefits and Expenses $8,279,686,953 Actuarial Reserves $ 422,308,008 Total Liabilities and Reserves $8,701,994,961 *Invested assets are shown at market value. Effective February 1, 2009, the Board no longer automatically issues involuntary cancellation refund checks upon the account's cancellation; instead, a signed and notarized request is required. The total value of outstanding refund payments of $9,533,480 has been deducted from the market value of invested assets and the corresponding contracts are not included in the valuation population. **Future revenue receivable from late payment charges, not sufficient funds charges and cancellation charges. Economic Assumptions The key economic assumptions we have used to develop our estimates are listed below. All assumptions have been provided to us by the Board. Yield on investments The weighted average yield rate is calculated as 4.34%. The basis for determining the weighted average yield rate is the June 30, 2009 U.S. Treasury Spot Rate Curve as provided to the Board by Columbia Management, combined with the 24.1 basis point incremental return assumption as provided to the Board by Watson Wyatt Worldwide. University tuition increases 6.0% for the 2009/2010 contract year. Subsequent years' inflation assumptions are determined in accordance with Conforming Bill 1696. Community college tuition increases 6.0% per annum Tuition differential fee increases Increase from $37.03 at the rate dictated by Conforming Bill 1696 for contracts matriculating from 2012/2013 forward. For contracts matriculating prior to academic year 2012/2013, increases are set according to SB 762. University local fee increases 5.0% per annum Community college local fee increases 6.0% per annum Dormitory fee increases 6.0% per annum The weighted average yield on investments represents an average annual yield, based on annualized liability cash flows and a spot rate curve based on the June 30, 2009 U.S. Treasury Curve. The spot curve is adjusted for an assumed incremental return to reflect the impact of fixed income funds management. The incremental return is specified by Watson Wyatt Worldwide to the Board and used for our calculations. This year the specified spread is 24.1 basis points. Expected Cash Flows For existing contracts, cash flows to the Fund are expected to be negative until 2031/2032, and positive from then until all liabilities are satisfied. A positive cash flow occurs when contract payments and investment income exceed tuition payments, dormitory payments and expenses. When negative cash flows occur, asset sales and maturities will be needed to provide the necessary cash. Investment Strategy As described to us by the Board, the investment strategy of the Fund is designed to enable the Board to meet the actuarially determined program liabilities. The sole objective of the Board's Comprehensive Investment Plan (the "CIP") is to meet the projected liabilities. The Board has selected Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. to provide fixed income investment services. The Board's long-term strategy is to immunize the Fund against interest rate fluctuations. The Board employs an enhanced structured immunization strategy to control interest rate risk while providing higher portfolio returns. We have not reviewed the strategies in detail and we are not expressing an opinion on the immunization strategies. We note that an immunization strategy is consistent with the stated goals of the CIP. In June 1994, the Program began investing in equities. The purpose of this change in investments was to increase the total return to the Fund over the long term. The equity investment managers are Deutsche Investment Management Americas, Inc. (large capitalization growth equities), Florida State Board of Administration-Quantitative Management Associates, LLC (large capitalization value equities), Fiduciary Management, Inc. (small capitalization equity), and Northern Trust Investments, N.A. (S&P 500 Index Fund). In June 2006, the Florida Prepaid College Board adopted an asset allocation policy that limits the amount of assets invested in equities to the amount of the actuarial reserve as determined by the Board's actuary, or 15% of the market, whichever is less. 0000484705 Brought to you by OpenSecrets.org
