    6/54

    The Florida Bar and SubsidiariesManagement's Discussion and AnalysisThe Florida Bar is the statewide professional and regulatory organization for lawyers with morethan 81,500 members. Headquartered in Tallahassee, The Florida Bar is a unified state bar byrule of the Supreme Court of Florida. Membership in The Florida Bar is a necessary component ofSupreme Court of Florida regulation of all lawyers licensed to practice law in Florida (Article IV,Section 15, Florida Constitution). The foundation for the organization is built on a philosophy ofequity and ethics. Through its programs and services, the Bar supports this philosophy with fourpillars that function as the mission of The Florida Bar: providing public service, protecting rights,promoting professionalism and pursuing justice.

    Overview of the Financial StatementsThis annual report consists of three parts - management's discussion and analysis, the basicconsolidated financial statements, and an optional section that presents supplementaryinformation. The supplementary information includes consolidating statements and comparisons ofactual results to budgeted results. The basic consolidated financial statements present theconsolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Florida Bar and itssubsidiaries. The Florida Bar performs two overall activities as the statewide regulators of thepractice of law and the professional association of lawyers. Its activities are accounted for as aproprietary type enterprise fund because it charges fees to provide its services similar to abusiness enterprise.The Statement of Net Assets includes all of The Florida Bar's assets and liabilities. The net assetsare the difference between The Florida Bar's assets and liabilities. The Statement of Revenues,Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets include all of The Florida Bar's revenues and expensesregardless of when the cash is received or paid. The change in net assets is one way to measureThe Florida Bar's financial health or position. A Statement of Cash Flows provides additionalinformation regarding the change in The Florida Bar's cash position.

    Summary of OperationsAt June 30, 2007 and 2006, The Florida Bar had $58,556,200 and $52,906,350, respectively intotal assets. Of this amount $51,221,438 and $46,034,465 was held in cash and investments and$6,339,329 and 5,904,229 was invested in capital assets at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.The primary liability at June 30, 2007 and 2006 was deferred revenue of $9,362,874 and$9,659,687, respectively, resulting from advance collection of member fees and prepayments forContinuing Legal Education registrations. Our net assets were $42,327,971 and $36,311,836 atJune 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.These amounts are in line with the prior year's balances given the current changes in net assets.The original operating budgets for the General Fund (excluding the wholly-owned subsidiary andcontrolled entities) for the years ended June 30,2007 and 2006, approved by the Florida SupremeCourt, planned on an increase in net assets of $724,991 and $482,000, respectively. After Boardof Governor amendments, the planned (decrease) increase became $(951,934) and $726,314,respectively. General Fund actual operations resulted in a change in net assets of $2,963, 163 and$2,582,203, respectively. This improved performance resulted primarily from better than plannedinvestment returns, increased sales in continuing legal education registrations and certificationsand efficiencies in operations of the various departments of The Florida Bar. Included in thesupplemental information is an actual to budget comparison for each department.

    DEBTAt June 30, 2007 and 2006, The Florida Bar had $1 ,864,825 and $2,049,543, respectivelyoutstanding in a mortgage loan. The mortgage loan is scheduled to balloon on October 15,2009. Management is evaluating its options for when the mortgage loan balloons.Management will decide to either pay the loan or refinance the balloon. Investments have beenpurchased to cover the required balloon payment if that is the selected course of action.

    Future Financial PlanThe Florida Bar was created by the Supreme Court of Florida to assist it in regulating thepractice of law in Florida. It is primarily funded through lawyer payments of their requiredannual fee, sale of continuing education programs to lawyers and other revenue from itsbusiness partners and affiliates. There is no plan to materially change these revenue streamsfor the next two years. Accordingly, there are no present plans to materially increase the scopeor nature of the services provided to the citizens of Florida and the lawyers authorized to servethem.

    The Florida Bar and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESSThe Florida Bar and Subsidiaries (The Florida Bar) is the statewide professional organization oflawyers. It serves as an advocate and intermediary for attorneys, the court and the public. TheFlorida Bar was established as a unified state bar by rule of the Supreme Court of Florida. TheFlorida Bar regulates lawyers in Florida, investigates the unauthorized practice of law, offerscontinuing legal education, publishes law journals and offers other member services.

    NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESReporting EntityThe Florida Bar is a unified state bar organized as an arm of the Supreme Court of the State ofFlorida. It is considered a governmental entity because it was established by, and has thepotential to be dissolved by, the Supreme Court of Florida. Therefore, The Florida Bar adopted theprovisions of Statement No. 34 ("Statement No. 34") of the Governmental Accounting StandardsBoard liBasic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State andLocal Govemments," as amended by Statement No. 37.In evaluating The Florida Bar as a reporting entity, management has considered all potentialcomponent units for which The Florida Bar may be financially accountable and if found to befinancially accountable, be required to be included in The Florida Bar's financial statements. TheFlorida Bar is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of an organization's governingboard and (1) it is able to impose its will on an organization or (2) there is a potential for anorganization to provide specific financial benefit to or impose specific financial burden on TheFlorida Bar. Additionally, the primary government is required to consider other organizations forwhich the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such thatexclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.Management's analysis has disclosed no component units that should be included in The FloridaBar's financial statements.Basis ofPresentationThe Florida Bar is accounted for as a proprietary type enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are usedto account for activities that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private businessenterprises: (1) where the costs of providing goods and services to the general public on acontinuing basis are to be financed through user charges; or (2) where the periodic determinationof net income is considered appropriate. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues andexpenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result fromproviding goods and services in connection with a proprietary fund's ongoing operations.Operating expenses for The Florida Bar include the costs of personnel, contractual services,supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues andexpenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

    The Florida Bar and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Basis ofAccountingBasis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts andreported in the financial statements. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis ofaccounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses arerecognized when they are incurred. The measurement focus of proprietary fund types is on a flowof economic resources method, which emphasizes the determination of net income, financialposition, and cash flow. All fund assets and liabilities, current and non-current, are accounted for inthe Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.Cash and Cash EquivalentsAll demand deposit accounts, daily repurchase agreements and short-term highly liquidinvestments with original maturities of three months or less are reported as cash equivalents.InvestmentsInvestments are reported at fair value, which are based on quoted market prices. Thedetermination of realized gains and losses is independent of the determination of the net change inthe fair value of investments. Realized gains and losses on investments held in a previous fiscalyear and sold in the current period were used to compute the change in fair value for the previousyear and the current year.Capital AssetsCapital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of capital assets isdepreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 5 to 40 years, usingthe straight-line method. When capital assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs andrelated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss isreflected in the Consolidated Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets, inthe period of disposal.Claims PayableThe Florida Bar created the Clients' Security Fund (the Fund) to compensate people who havesuffered financial losses due to misappropriation of funds by errant Florida Bar members. TheFund is financed by $20 of each Florida Bar member's annual fees. Claims payable representamounts payable from the Fund.Deferred RevenuesDeferred revenues consist primarily of membership fees collected in advance, prepaid advertisingand prepaid legal education courses.

    NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE DISCLOSURE -INTEREST RATE SWAPObjective of the interest rate swap. In October 1999, The Florida Bar refinanced an 8.5%fixed rate mortgage to a variable rate mortgage based on the LIBOR rate plus .47%. Tomanage its interest rate exposure under the variable rate renewal mortgage note payable toBank of America, The Florida Bar entered into a hedge transaction on October 13, 1999 to swapits floating rate for a fixed rate through a 120 month interest rate swap provided by Bank of'America.Terms. The swap was for the notional amount of $2,986,384 which was equal to the principalamount of the underlying variable rate debt. The notional amount declines each year as theprincipal amount of the associated debt declines. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the notionalamount was $1,864,825 and $2,049,543, respectively. The swap was entered into at the sametime that the debt was refinanced (October 1999). Under the swap, The Florida Bar pays theBank of America a contracted interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus .47% and receives a paymentfrom Bank of America based on the coupon rate of the swap which is 6.97%. The net effect ofthe two contractual rates is an effective fixed rate of 7.44%. The swap matures on October 15,2009.Fair value. Due to the difference between the two rates, the swap had a negative fair value of$63,775 and $80,999 as of June 30,2007 and 2006, respectively. The fair value was estimatedby the Bank of America as identified in the Schedule to the International Swap DealersAssociation Master Agreement (ISDA) using the mid-market level method. This method is inaccordance with market conventions, which take into consideration estimates about relevantpresent and future market conditions, as well as size and liquidity of the position and relatedactual or potential hedging transactions.Basis risk. The swap exposes The Florida Bar to basis risk should the LIBOR rates decreasesignificantly. If a change occurs that results in a significant decrease in LIBOR rates, theexpected cost savings may not be realized.Termination risk. The Florida Bar or the Bank of America may terminate the swap if the otherparty fails to perform under terms of the agreement. If at the time of termination the swap has anegative fair value, The Florida Bar would be liable to the Bank of America for a payment equalto the swap's fair value.

    The Florida Bar and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNOTE 11 - RETIREE POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITSPlan Description. The Florida Bar Retiree Health Plan (TFBRHP) is a single-employer definedbenefit healthcare plan administered by The Florida Bar. TFBRHP provides health insurancebenefits to eligible employees at early retirement, disability or 'full retirement. The Florida Barhas the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to TFHRHP.Funding Policy. The contribution requirements of plan members and The Florida Bar areestablished and may be amended by The Florida Bar. The required contribution is based on anactuarially determined percentage of total active payroll. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2007,The Florida Bar contributed $1,281,688 to the plan. Plan members, who are ages 62 through65 or disabled, are required to contribute $25 per month for retiree-only coverage and $100 permonth for all other member coverage.Annual OPES Cost and Net OPES Obligation. The Florida Bar's annual other postemploymentbenefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of theemployer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASBStatement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, isprojected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (orfunding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. Based on the January 1, 2006,actuarial valuation, the ARC is 0.97% of active payroll payable for the fiscal year ending June30,2007. The following table shows the components of The Florida Bar's annual OPEB cost forthe year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in The Florida Bar's netOPEB obligation to TFBRJ-IP:Annual required contribution $ 64,766Interest on net OPEB obligationAdjustments to annual required contributionAnnual OPEB cost (expense)Net OPEB obligation - July 1,2007Annual OPEB cost (expense) for 2007Benefits paid during 2007Contributions made during 2007

    The Florida Bar and SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNOTE 11 - RETIREE POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS (CONTINUED)Funded Status and Funding Progress. As of January 1, 2006, the first actuarial valuation date,the plan was unfunded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was calculated to be$1,203,784. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was$12,946,872, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 9.30 0AJ. The liability wasfunded in June 2007.Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts andassumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples includeassumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amountsdetermined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of theemployer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectationsand new estimates are made about the future.Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes arebased on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members)and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical patternof sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarialmethods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects ofshort-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistentwith the long-term perspective of the calculations.In the January 1, 2006 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method wasused. The actuarial assumptions included a 6% investment rate of return, which is a blendedrate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer's owninvestments, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 12AJ initially, reduced by decrementsto an ultimate rate of 60/0 in the year 2010 and beyond. Both rates included a 3% inflationassumption. As of the January 1, 2006 actuarial valuation, TFBRHP did not have plan assets intrust solely to provide benefits to retirees and their beneficiaries. However, the actuary assumedthat TFBRHP would start to pre-fund benefits and the investment rate of return was based onthis fact. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an openbasis. The remaining amortization period at January 1, 2006 was 30 years.
