Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Governors
The Florida Bar
Tallahassee, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the business-
type activities of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries (The Florida Bar) as of and for the
years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, which comprise The Florida Bars basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of The Florida Bar'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 audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and 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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the business-type activities of The Florida Bar
and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the changes in financial position and
cash flows thereof for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
October 1, 2012, on our consideration of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' internal control
over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that
report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered
in assessing the results of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 7 be presented to supplement the
basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to
be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited
procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management
about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency
with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not
provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements that collectively comprise The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' basic financial
statements. The supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, is presented for
the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial
statements of The Florida Bar. Such information is the responsibility of management and was
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Management'sDiscussionandAnalysis
The Florida Bar is the statewide professional and regulatory organization for lawyers with more
than 93,000 members. Headquartered in Tallahassee, The Florida Bar is a unified state barby
ruleoftheSupremeCourtofFlorida. MembershipinTheFloridaBarisanecessarycomponentof
Supreme Court ofFlorida regulation ofall lawyers licensed to practice law in Florida (Article IV,
Section 15, Florida Constitution). The foundation forthe organization is built on a philosophy of
equityand ethics. Through its programsand services, the Barsupportsthis philosophywithfour
pillarsthatfunction asthe mission ofThe Florida Bar: providing publicservice, protecting rights,
promoting professionalism and pursuing justice. The following management's discussion and
analysis is intended to provide the readers ofThe Florida Bar'sfinancial statements a general
overviewofthefinancial activities during the lasttwo fiscal years (FY)thatended on June 30,
2012and2011.
FinancialHighlights
TheFlorida Bar'stotal netassetsincreasedapproximately$1.5million(or3.1oJ' overthecourse
of FY12 operations. This was primarily generated from continued internal development of
softwareprogramswhich reduced salaryand benefitexpenses byincludingthem inthecostsof
capital assets. ForFY11, total netassetsincreasedapproximately$7.0million(or16.6%)which
wasacombinationofafavorableinvestmentreturnofalmost$6.0millionaswellasdevelopment
ofinternalsoftware.
Total operating revenues for FY12 were virtually unchanged from FY11 while total operating
expensesdecreasedapproximately$600,000(or1.4%). Incomparison,totaloperatingrevenues
and expensesgrewbyapproximately2.5% in FY11. Despite increasing growth in membership
and thus, annual fees, The Florida Barhas continued to see drops in advertising revenue and
continuing legal education programs. The Florida Bar responded to the drops in revenue by
seeking to utilizetechnology oroutsourcing to deliverits products and services more efficiently
andbydelayinghiringofvacantpositionsornotreplacingemployeesastheyretired.
The resources available to spend forthe General Fund ofThe Florida Barwere approximately
$1.9 million less than budgeted for FY12 and were approximately $2.8 million more than
budgetedforFY11. Theseresultswereprimarilyattributabletothegainsand lossesincurred by

FY11, as well as the weak economy. The Florida Bar was able to keep expenses within
budgetedlimitsinbothyears.
OverviewoftheFinancialStatements
This annual report consists ofthree parts - management's discussion and analysis, the basic
consolidated financial statements, and an optional section that presents supplementary
information. Thesupplementaryinformationincludesconsolidatingstatementsandcomparisonsof
actual results to budgeted results. The basic consolidated financial statements present the
consolidated financial position, results ofoperations, and cash flows ofthe Florida Bar and its
subsidiaries. The Florida Bar performs two overall activities as the statewide regulator ofthe
practice oflawand the professional association oflawyers. Its activities are accounted foras a
proprietary type enterprise fund because it charges fees to provide its services similar to a
businessenterprise.

The Statement of Net Assets includes all of The Florida Bar's assets and liabilities. The net assets
are 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 expenses
regardless of when the cash is received or paid. The change in net assets is one way to measure
The Florida Bar's financial health or position. A Statement of Cash Flows provides additional
information regarding the change in The Florida Bar's cash position. The notes (beginning on page
12) are an integral part in providing a full understanding of The Florida Bar's financial statements.

The Florida Bar's cash and investments were virtually unchanged from FY11 to FY12 despite a
loss on the investment portfolio for FY12 of $669, 183. Cash and investments at June 30, 2012 and
2011 were approximately $60.4 million. In comparison, the gain on the investment portfolio of
approximately $6.0 million in FY11 had a significant impact on cash and investments which
increased from $53.6 million to $60.4 million from FY10 to FY11. The increase in capital assets
from June 30,2010 to June 30,2012 has been a function of the internal development of software
programs as well as a capital improvement program to remodel and refurbish The Florida Bar's
headquarters building.
The primary liability of The Florida Bar is deferred revenue resulting from advance collection of
member fees and prepayments for Continuing Legal Education registrations. Deferred revenue

increased from $10.9 million at June 30, 2010 to $11.3 million at June 30, 2011 then dropped back
to $11.2 million as of June 30, 2012 primarily due to the addition of the Florida Registered
Paralegal Program that began in FY08 but allowed paralegals to apply without a renewal fee until
FY 2011. FY 2011 was the first year for all FRP's to be renewing at once. Other liabilities in 2010
included deferred revenue for a Client Security Fund court ordered recovery for $1.6 million. No
such deferred recoveries were recorded for FY11 and FY12.

The Florida Bar operated without an increase in Annual Fees to its members over the past three
years. The increases in Annual Fees received by The Florida Bar have consistently been
approximately 2% to 3% per year commensurate with the membership growth rate. Nevertheless,
Continuing Education Program revenue has continued to decline as more competition has been
experienced from outside vendors as well as the increased use of less expensive internet and
telephonic options by members. Additionally, advertising revenue received for ads in The Florida
Bar Journal and News have continued to decline as a result of the weak economy.
Operating expenses were kept in line with revenue growth in FY11 as compared to FY10 and
actually dropped more than revenue for FY12. This is attributable to various steps taken by The
Florida Bar including (1) efforts to transition away from print and mail to electronic communication
and delivery of Continuing Education materials and other communications to members, (2)
outsourcing of functions that could be done by outside vendors at less cost than continuing to do
those functions internally, and (3) delaying hiring of replacements as employees retired or left the
employ of The Florida Bar. Expenses were also reduced in all three years by the capitalization of
internal development of software.

The increase in net assets for FY11 and FY10 was primarily attributable to the favorable
investment climate and for FY12, the cost saving measures described above.
For more detailed information, see the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.
Budgetary Highlights For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, The Florida Bar's budget
funded most departments at a continuation level. The original operating budgets for the General
Fund (excluding the wholly-owned subsidiary and controlled entities) for the years ended June 30,
2012 and 2011 approved by the Florida Supreme Court, planned on an increase in net assets of
$66,936 and $340,381, respectively. After Board of Governor amendments, the planned decrease
became ($686,361) and ($1 ,128,194), respectively.
For FY12, significant budget amendments included an additional contribution to the Client Security
Fund, a public education program to help educate the general public about judicial merit retention,
moving a staff position from the Client Security Fund operations to the General Fund,
improvements for the Fort Lauderdale branch office, costs to update the Bar's webpage, and the
cost to add a paper shredding program to The Florida Bar's document destruction staff procedures.
For FY11, significant budget amendments included an additional contribution to the Client Security
Fund and to the Building Fund, increased costs for the lawyer referral services when the Miami-
Dade area was added back to The Florida Bar's operations, costs for a new lockbox vendor, and
an increase in costs for the Florida Bar elections.
Included in the supplemental information is an actual to budget comparison for each department for
FY12.

During FY10, The Florida Bar began a significant refurbishment of the headquarters building in
Tallahassee. The remodeling had mostly been completed as of the end of FY12 and was
funded through available cash. Additions to software and software in development began in
2010 as a result of a new accounting standard that required the cost of internally developed
software to be capitalized. Prior to that time, all software costs were expensed as incurred. The
Florida Bar will continue to add to these costs as new programs are created or significantly
updated. Presently, The Florida Bar has no plans to significantly alter its investment in capital
assets other than to continue to add to costs of developed software.
Future Financial Plan
The Florida Bar was created by the Supreme Court of Florida to assist the Supreme Court in
regulating the practice of law in Florida. The Florida Bar is primarily funded through required
annual fee payments by lawyers, sales of continuing education programs to lawyers, and other
fees for regulation of attorneys or sales of legal related products and services. There is no plan
to materially change these revenue streams for the next two years. Accordingly, there are no
present plans to materially increase the scope or nature of the services provided to the citizens
of Florida and the lawyers authorized to serve them.

NOTE2- SUMMARYOFSIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGPOLICIES
Reporting Entity
TheFlorida Barisa unifiedstate barorganizedasan armoftheSupremeCourtoftheStateof
Florida. It is considered a govemmental entity because it was established by, and has the
potentialtobedissolvedby, theSupremeCourtofFlorida. Therefore,TheFloridaBaradoptedthe
provisions ofStatement No. 34 ("Statement No. 34") ofthe Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) "Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for
State and Local Governments," asamendedbyStatementNo. 37.
In evaluating The Florida Bar as a reporting entity, management has considered all potential
component units for which The Florida Bar may be financially accountable and if found to be
financiallyaccountable, be required to be included in The Florida Bar'sfinancial statements. The
Florida Barisfinanciallyaccountable ifitappointsavoting majorityofan organization'sgoverning
board and (1) it is able to impose its will on an organization or (2) there is a potential for an
organization to provide specific financial benefit to or impose specific financial burden on The
Florida Bar. Additionally, The Florida Baris required toconsiderotherorganizationsforwhichthe
nature and significance oftheir relationship with The Florida Bar are such that exclusion would
cause the reporting entity'sfinancial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Management's
analysis hasdisclosed no component unitsthat should be included in The Florida Bar'sfinancial
statements.
Basis of Presentation
The Florida Barisaccountedforasaproprietarytypeenterprisefund. The Florida Barappliesall
applicable pronouncements ofthe Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued on or
before November 30, 1989 that are not in conflict with applicable GASB pronouncements.
Enterprise funds are used to account for activities that are financed and operated in a manner
similarto privatebusinessenterprises: (1)wherethecostsofprovidinggoodsand servicestothe
general public on a continuing basis are to be financed through usercharges; or (2) where the
periodic determination of net income is considered appropriate. Proprietary funds distinguish
operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generallyresultfrom providing goodsand servicesin connection with aproprietaryfund'songoing
operations. Operating expenses for The Florida Bar include the costs ofpersonnel, contractual
services, supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and depreciation and amortization ofcapital
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating
revenuesandexpenses.

2,185,237 2,045,647
Total investments $ 42,469,481 $ 45,930,388
The Florida Bar's investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as custodial credit
risk, interest rate risk, credit quality risk, foreign currency risk, concentration of credit risk, and
market conditions. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at
least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the
near term and that such changes could materially affect investment balances.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of the failure of the custodial entity, The Florida
Bar's deposits may not be returned to it. The Policies state that The Florida Bar will only hold
investment securities that are insured or registered and held by The Florida Bar, or its
designated agent, in the name of The Florida Bar. Investments held through its agent, Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney, LLC have Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) coverage up
to $500,000 per customer for cash and securities as of June 30, 2012 of which $250,000 may
be in uninvested cash. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC also has purchased "Excess SIPC"
protection above the SIPC limits. This excess coverage is subject to a firmwide cap for Morgan
Stanley of $1 billion with no per-client limit for securities and a $1.9 million per-client limit for the
cash portion of any remaining shortfall. Investments in PIMCO mutual funds are held by a third
party trust company.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from investments in debt instruments and is defined as the risk that
changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Florida Bar's
investments in U.S. Treasuries, federal agencies, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and other
bonds are directly subject to interest rate risk. The interest rate risk is managed by requiring the
duration of the fixed income portfolio to average between plus or minus 20% of the duration of
the representative benchmark for the investment.
- 17-
Interest Rate Risk (Continued)
As of June 30, 2012, The Florida Bar's debt investments had the following maturities:
Investment Maturities (In Years)
Less than 1

Total investments $ 9,794,955 $ 480,700 $ 2,810,557 $ 3,851,414 $ 2,652,284
The Florida Bar is not directly subject to interest rate risk for its investment in mutual funds that
purchase debt instruments, as The Florida Bar is able to sell their interest in these mutual funds
at will (subject to potential redemption fees). At June 30, 2012, the weighted average life
reported by the mutual fund managers for the mutual funds invested in debt instruments was
3.73 to 7.02 years.
Credit Quality Risk
The Policies require investments in fixed income debt securities to meet an average quality
rating of A or higher for the long-term portfolio and AA or higher for the short-term portfolio by
either Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch Investors Service at the time of purchase.
Investments in corporate holdings must be rated investment grade or better by either Standard
& Poor's, Moody's or Fitch Investors Service at the time of purchase. In the event a bond's
credit rating is downgraded to a level below investment grade by two of the three ratings
agencies, the Investment Manager must notify the Investment Committee and provide the
Committee with the Manager's outlook on the investment. The Investment Committee must
approve continuing to hold the downgraded investment. The Manager must regularly update
the committee on the downgraded investment's status.

foreign stock exchanges may be purchased only with the written permission of The Florida Bar's
Investment Committee. Additionally, the investment policies approve the use of mutual funds,
which may include foreign securities, with the understanding that the investment policies stated
in the mutual fund's prospectus supersede the guidelines set forth in The Florida Bar's
investment policy.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Investment Policies require investments to be diversified such that there is not an undue
concentration in a single industry sector except for its Concentrated Portfolios. Investments in
equity securities are subject to a maximum 5k commitment at cost and 10
%
weighting at
market of the account's total market value for any individual security or single issuer.
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to no more than 50/0 of the account's market
value invested in a single issue (at cost) or in direct obligations of a single issuer (at market)
with the exception of the U.S. Government and its agencies so long as any such government or
agency issue shall be backed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. In addition,
no more than 15k of the fixed income securities may be invested in mortgage backed or asset
backed securities of a single issuer, with the exception of those issued by the U.S. Government,
its agencies, or its sponsored agencies.
Investments in cash and cash equivalents are limited to no more than 100/0 of the account's
market value in a single issue (at cost), with the exception of issues backed by the U.S.

Alternative Investment assets. Additionally, the investment policy approves the use of mutual
funds, which may include derivative instruments, with the understanding that the investment
policies stated in the mutual fund's prospectus supersede the guidelines set forth in The Florida
Bar's investment policy.

NOTE 9 - RETIREMENT PLANS
The Florida Bar sponsors a defined contribution pension plan, The Florida Bar Employees'
Pension Plan (the Plan), which is available to all salaried personnel having completed six
months of service. The Plan is administered by The Florida Bar Retirement Committee. The
Plan may be amended at any time by The Florida Bar. Employer contributions are discretionary
and are currently made for all eligible employees employed on December 31 based on a
formula which was 150/0 of covered compensation for the years ended June 30,2012 and 2011,
respectively, and 4.3% on covered compensation exceeding 80% of the Social Security wage
base. The employer contributions are allocated to separate participant accounts and invested
by the Trustee in the funds selected by the employee from those offered by the Plan
Administrator. Participant accounts vest based on the following schedule:
Less than 3 years
0%
3- 4 years
40%
4 - 5 years 600/0
5 - 6 years
80%
Greater than 6 years 100%
Forfeited contributions are held in a separate account and are used to reduce future employer
contributions. The plan has been amended to comply with all applicable Federal tax laws. The
pension contribution made equaled the contribution required during the years ended June 30,
2012 and 2011 for the Plan years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and was $2,128,115
and $2,236,636, respectively.
The Florida Bar also has a deferred compensation plan. The plan is for the benefit of all eligible
employees who elect to participate.
- 23-
NOTE 10- RETIREE POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS
Plan Description. The Florida Bar Retiree Health Plan (TFBRHP) is a single-employer defined
benefit healthcare plan administered by The Florida Bar. TFBRHP provides health insurance
benefits to eligible employees at early retirement, disability or full retirement. The Florida Bar
has the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of TFBRHP. TFBRHP issues a
stand-alone financial report that includes the financial statements and required disclosures.
This report may be obtained by writing to The Florida Bar, 651 East Jefferson Street,
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300.
Funding Policy. TFBRHP is funded through contributions made by The Florida Bar. The
contribution requirements are established and may be amended by The Florida Bar. Currently,
there are no required contributions by active or retired employees. The required contribution
from the Florida Bar is based on an actuarially determined percentage of total active payroll. For
fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, The Florida Bar contributed $87,777 and $85,511,
respectively, to the plan for the annual required contributions. The Florida Bar contributed an
additional $173,283 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to cover the unfunded liability calculated
at January 1, 2012.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The Florida Bar's annual other postemployment
benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the
employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB
Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or
funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. Based on the January 1, 2012,
actuarial valuation, the ARC is .62% of active payroll payable for the calendar years 2012
through 2013. The following table shows the components of The Florida Bar's annual OPEB
cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in The Florida Bar's
net OPEB obligation to TFBRHP:

Funded Status and Funding Progress. As of January 1, 2012, the most recent actuarial
valuation date, the plan was 91% funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was
calculatedtobe $1,886,227andtheactuarialvalueoftheassetswas$1,712,944, resulting ina
funding deficitof$173,283. Thecovered payroll(annualpayrollofactiveemployeescovered by
the plan) was $14,402,420, and the ratio ofthe unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL) to
the covered payroll was 1.20%. This deficit was funded by the Florida Bar priorto June 30,
2012.
Actuarial valuations ofan ongoing plan involveestimatesofthevalue ofreported amountsand
assumptionsaboutthe probabilityofoccurrenceofeventsfarintothefuture. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding thefunded statusofthe planandtheannual required contributionsofthe
employeraresubjecttocontinual revisionasactual resultsarecomparedwithpastexpectations
andnewestimatesaremadeaboutthefuture.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Projectionsofbenefitsforfinancial reporting purposesare
based onthe substantive plan (theplanasunderstood bytheemployerand theplan members)
and includethetypesofbenefitsprovidedatthetimeofeachvaluationandthehistoricalpattern
ofsharing ofbenefitcosts betweentheemployerand plan memberstothatpoint. Theactuarial
methods and assumptions used includetechniques that are designed to reduce the effects of
short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value ofassets, consistent
withthelong-termperspectiveofthecalculations.
The projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used for the January 1, 2012 actuarial
valuation. Theactuarialassumptionsincludeda7.5% investmentrateofreturn,whichistherate
ofthe expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and an annual healthcare cost
trend rate of9.50/0 initially, reduced bydecrementsto an ultimaterate of5.0% intheyear2018
and beyond. Both rates included a 3.0% inflation assumption. TFBRHP holds plan assets in
trustsolelyto provide benefitsto retirees and theirbeneficiaries. The UAAL is being amortized
asalevel percentageofprojected payrollonaclosed basis. Theremaining amortization period
atJanuary1, 2012was30years.

NOTE 12 - CONTINGENCIES
The Florida Bar is involved in several actions as defendant and/or co-defendant. The majority
of the actions are expected to be settled with little or no financial impact to The Florida Bar. An
accurate assessment of any significant liability is not determinable although management of The
Florida Bar believes that the possibility of any significant liability arising from current litigation is
extremely remote.
NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS
The Florida Bar has contracted with various hotels or convention centers to reserve facilities,
rooms, and food and beverage services for various meetings and seminars to be held through
fiscal year 2020. If The Florida Bar should choose to cancel the contracts, liquidating damages
would be due to the hotels or convention centers. Generally, liquidating damages are
graduated based on the time between cancellation and the scheduled arrival date of the
meeting and are calculated based on a percentage of anticipated revenues by the particular
hotel or convention center.
The following is a schedule of estimated liquidating damages that The Florida Bar would incur
should they cancel all the contracts as of June 30, 2012:

Board of Governors
The Florida Bar
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries'
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, 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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Governors and
management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
