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, 2010 and 2009, which comprise The Florida Bar s basic financial

statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the

responsibility o 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, 2010 and 2009, 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

November

3,

2010, on our consideration of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries internal

control over financial reporting and on our tests

o

its compliance with certain provisions

o

laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of

that report is to describe the scope of our testing

o

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 e

considered in assessing the results of our audit.

The management s discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 7 is not a required part

o

the

basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles

generally accepted in the United States

o

America. We have applied certain limited procedures,

which consisted principally

o

inquiries

o

management regarding the methods

o

measurement

and presentation

o

the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the

information and express no opinion on it.

Our audits were performed for the purpose o 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

o

contents, is presented for

the purposes o additional analysis and is not a required part o the basic consolidated financial

statements

o

The Florida Bar. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures

applied in the audit o the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly

stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as

a whole.

Management s Discussion and Analysis

The Florida Bar is the statewide professional and regulatory organization for lawyers with more

than 89,000 members. Headquartered in Tallahassee, The Florida Bar is a unified state bar by

rule of the Supreme Court of Florida. Membership in The Florida Bar is a necessary component of

Supreme 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 of

equity and ethics. Through its programs and services, the Bar supports this philosophy with four

pillars that function as the mission

of

The Florida Bar: providing public service, protecting rights,

promoting professionalism and pursuing justice.

Overview

of

the Financial Statements

This annual report consists of three parts - management's discussion and analysis, the basic

consolidated financial statements, and an optional section that presents supplementary

information. The supplementary information includes consolidating statements and comparisons

of

actual results to budgeted results. The basic consolidated financial statements present the

consolidated financial position, results

of

operations, and cash flows

of

the Florida Bar and its

subsidiaries. The Florida Bar performs two overall activities as the statewide regulator

of

the

practice of law and the professional association

of

lawyers. Its activities are accounted for as a

proprietary type enterprise fund because it charges fees to provide its services similar to a

business enterprise.

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.

Summary

of

Operations

The Florida Bar adopted the provisions

of

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)

Statement

No.

51, ccounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible ssets as

of

July

1

2009.

This statement requires all intangible assets to be capitalized in the statement

of

net assets. The

Florida Bar possessed software purchased from external sources that had not been previously

capitalized. Capital assets, operating expenses and net assets have been restated for all periods

presented to reflect the change in accounting from the adoption of this standard.

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, The Florida Bar had $64,135,939 and $55,270,769 (as restated),

respectively in total assets. f this amount $53,623,921 and $45,425,002 was held in cash and

investments and $7,564,589 and $7,226,645 (as restated) was invested in capital assets at June

30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The primary liability

at

June 30, 2010 and 2009 was deferred

revenue

of

$10,981

981

and $7,670,851, respectively, resulting from advance collection

of

member

fees and prepayments for Continuing Legal Education registrations. Our net assets were

$44,428,657 and $39,248,358 (as restated) at June

30 2010

and 2009, respectively.

These amounts are in line with the prior year's balances after restatement given the current

changes in net assets. The original operating budgets for the General Fund (excluding the wholly

owned subsidiary and controlled entities) for the years ended June

30 2010

and 2009 approved by

the Florida Supreme Court, planned on an increase in net assets

of

$21,760 and $94,033,

respectively. After Board

of

Governor amendments, the planned increase became $1,484,740 and

See the Independent Auditors' Report.

and Subsidiaries

Management's Discussion and Analysis

1,287,840, respectively. General Fund actual operations resulted n a change n net assets of

6,489,783 and ( 1,527,857), respectively. The increase n net assets resulted primarily from the

effects of a more favorable investment climate during the past fiscal year and decreases n

operating costs of the various departments

of

The Florida Bar. Included

n

the supplemental

information s an actual to budget comparison for each department.

For the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, The Florida Bar's budget funded most departments at

a continuation level.

DEBT

At June 30, 2009, The Florida Bar had 1,451 ,635 outstanding in a mortgage loan. The

mortgage loan was paid off in October 2009.

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 payments

by lawyers of their required annual fees, 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.

The Florida Bar and

Subsidiaries


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries (The Florida Bar) is the statewide professional organization

of

lawyers. It serves as an advocate and intermediary for attorneys, the court and the public. The

Florida Bar was established as a unified state bar by rule of the Supreme Court

of

Florida. The

Florida Bar regulates lawyers

in

Florida, investigates the unauthorized practice

of

law, offers

continuing legal education, publishes law journals and offers other member services.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reporting ntity

The Florida Bar is a unified state bar organized as an arm

of

the Supreme Court

of

the State of

Florida. It is considered a govemmental entity because it was established by and has the

potential to be dissolved by, the Supreme Court

of

Florida. Therefore, The Florida Bar adopted the

provisions

of

Statement No. 34 ("Statement No. 34")

of

the Governmental Accounting Standards

Board

IIBasic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and nalysis - for State and

Local

Governments,

as amended by Statement No. 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

financially accountable, be required to be included

in

The Florida

Bars

financial statements. The

Florida Bar is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority

of

an organization's governing

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 Bar is required to consider other organizations for which the

nature and significance

of

their relationship with The Florida Bar are such that exclusion 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 Florida

Bars

financial

statements.

Basis

of

Presentation

The Florida Bar is accounted for as a proprietary type enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used

to account for activities that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business

enterprises: (1) where the costs of providing goods and services to the general public on a

continuing basis are to be financed through user charges; 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 generally result from

providing 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 and

expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

asis

of

ccounting

Basis

of

accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and

reported in the financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on the

accrual basis

of

accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted

n

the

United States

of

America. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they are eamed and

expenses are recognized when they are incurred. The measurement focus

of

proprietary fund

types is on a flow

of

economic resources method, which emphasizes the determination

of

net

income, financial position, and cash flow. All fund assets and liabilities, current and non-current,

are accounted for in the Consolidated Statements

of

Net Assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All demand deposit accounts and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities

of

three months

or

less are reported as cash equivalents.

Investments

Investments are reported at fair values, which are based on quoted market prices.

Capital

ssets

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The value of software developed

for The Florida Bar's use includes all direct and indirect costs that are related to development

activities. The cost

of

capital assets is depreciated over the estimated useful lives

of

the related

assets, ranging from 5 to 40 years, using the straight-line method. When capital assets are retired

or

otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the

accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Revenues,

Expenses and Changes in Net Assets, in the period

of

disposal.

Claims Payable

The Florida Bar voluntarily created the Clients' Security Fund (the Fund) to provide possible

compensation to people who have suffered financial losses due to misappropriation

of

funds by

errant Florida Bar members. The Fund is financed by $25

of

the annual fees due from each

Florida Bar member who is in good-standing (including inactive members). Claims payable

represent amounts that have been approved for payment from the Fund.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consist primarily of membership fees collected in advance, prepaid advertising

and prepaid legal education courses.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Florida Bar follows the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)

Technical Bulletin No. 2003-1, Disclosure Requirements for Derivatives Not Reported at Fair Value

on the Statement of Net Assets, an amendment to GASB Technical Bulletin 94-1. GASB Technical

Bulletin

No

2003-1 provides an updated definition

of

derivatives and requires certain disclosures

regarding the government's objective for entering into derivative transactions and the derivative's

terms, fair value, and risk exposures.

llocation

of

Expenses

The costs

of

providing the various programs, services, and other activities have been summarized

on a functional basis in the Consolidated Statement

of

Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net

Assets. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting

services benefited.

Principles ofConsolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts

of

The Florida Bar and

its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Florida Bar Building Corporation, and its other controlled entities,

Florida Lawyers Association for the Maintenance

of

Excellence, Inc., and The Florida Attorneys

Charitable Trust. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in

consolidation.

Income Taxes

The Florida Bar is an administrative agency

of

the Supreme Court and is not subject to federal

or

state income tax. The Florida Bar Building Corporation, Florida Lawyers Association for the

Maintenance

of

Excellence, Inc., and The Florida Attorneys Charitable Trust have been granted

exemption from federal and state income taxes except on unrelated business income under

Sections 501 (c)(25), 501 (c)(6), and 501 (c)(3), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted

in the United States

of

America 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.

Concentration

The Florida Bar receives the majority

of

its revenue from lawyers licensed to practice in the State of

Florida.

capital assets is intended to reflect the portion

of

net assets that are

associated with non-liquid, capital assets. Restricted for scholarships consists

of

Adoption

of

Pronouncement

As

of

July

1,

2009, The Florida Bar adopted the provisions

of

GASB Statement No. 51,

The

Accounting nd Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets

This statement provides the accounting

and reporting requirements for intangible assets. Intangible assets owned by The Florida Bar

include purchased licensed computer software from external sources and internally developed

computer software.

As

a result

of

the adoption

of

GASB No. 51, The Florida Bar restated the prior

year balances to reflect the capitalization

of

purchased licensed computer software and the

applicable accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense. The Florida Bar did not have the

records available to record an adjustment for internally developed computer software developed

in

prior years. GASB No.

51

allows The Florida Bar to account for internally developed software on a

prospective basis.

a1sh

balances were

$6,095,443 and $4,818,643 at June

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS

Investment Objectives

nd

Policies

Investments will be made for the sole interest and exclusive purpose of providing investment

returns for The Florida Bar. The Florida Bar's investment objectives and policies are achieved

through a short-term account portfolio and a long-term account portfolio. The ultimate

responsibility for the proper supervision of The Florida Bar's investment portfolio rests with the

Board of Governors and the Investment Committee.

The purpose of the short-term portfolio is to provide for The Florida Bar's short-term working

capital needs. The short-term portfolio possesses a short-term time horizon (one to three years)

and within this horizon, the primary objectives

of

the short-term portfolio are to preserve capital

for short-term cash flow needs, provide liquidity, and to achieve attractive short-term yields

consistent with the preservation

of

capital.

The purpose of the long-term investment portfolio

is

to provide for The Florida Bar's operating

needs and to fund The Florida Bar's programs both today and into the future. The long-term

portfolio possesses an intermediate to long-term horizon (five to seven years) and within this

horizon, the primary objectives of the long-term portfolio are to provide long-term growth of

capital and income.

The asset allocation guidelines with regard to acceptable asset classes, the overall target asset

mix, and the representative indices of each asset class were as follows as

The Florida Bar investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market

conditions, and credit risks. 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.

redit Risk

Investments in fixed income debt securities through mutual funds must adhere to the policy of

meeting

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

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

investment

in

U.S. Treasuries, federal agencies, corporate bonds, municipal bonds and U.S.

Treasury bonds are directly subject to the interest rate risk of debt instruments. The Florida Bar

is not directly subject to the interest rate risk for its short-term debt instruments, as investments

in these debt securities are entered into through mutual funds and The Florida Bar is able to sell

their interest in these mutual funds at will (subject to potential redemption fees). Additionally,

The Florida Bar has elected to participate

in

mutual funds with target durations of one to two

other type of foreign currency are not allovved. Securities of foreign companies traded on

foreign stock exchanges may be purchased only with the written permission of The Florida Bar's

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%. To

manage its interest rate exposure under the variable rate renewal mortgage note payable to

Bank of America, The Florida Bar entered into a hedge transaction on October 13, 1999 to swap

its 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 principal

amount

of

the underlying variable rate debt. The notional amount declined each year as the

principal amount

of

the associated debt declined. The swap was entered into at the same time

that the debt was refinanced (October 1999). Under the swap, The Florida Bar paid the Bank

of

America a contracted interest rate

of

30-day LIBOR plus

470/0

and received a payment from

Bank of America based on the coupon rate of the swap which was 6.97%. The net effect

of

the

two contractual rates was an effective fixed rate

of 7 440/0

The swap matured on October 15,

NOTE 11 - RETIREE POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

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

30,2010

and 2009, The Florida Bar contributed 268,980 and 52,700,

respectively, to the plan.

Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The

Florida Bar's annual

other

postemployment

bene'fit (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 cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities

or

funding excess)

over

a period not

to

exceed thirty years. Based on the January 1, 2010,

actuarial valuation, the

ARC

is

0.58

of

active payroll payable

for

the calendar years 2010

through 2011. The following table shows the components

of The

Florida

Bars

annual

cost

Funded Status and Funding Progress

As of

January

1,

2010, the most recent actuarial

valuation date, the plan was

820/0

funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was

calculated to be 1,584,797 and the actuarial value of the assets was 1,293,906, resulting in a

funding deficit

of

290,891. The covered payroll (annual payroll

of

active employees covered by

the plan) was 14,557,008, and the ratio

of

the UAAL to the covered payroll was

2.000/0.

Actuarial valuations

of

an ongoing plan involve estimates

of

the value

of

reported amounts and

assumptions about the probability of occurrence

of

events far into the future. Examples include

assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts

determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the

employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations

and new estimates are made about the future.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are

based 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 pattern

of

sharing

of

benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial

methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects

of

short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value

of

assets, consistent

with the long-term perspective of the calculations.

In the January

1,

2010 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was

used. The actuarial assumptions included a 7.500/0 investment rate of return, which is the rate of

the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and an annual healthcare cost trend

rate

of 100/0

initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate

of 50/0

in the year 2016 and

beyond. Both rates included a 3 inflation assumption. As of the January

1,

2010 actuarial

valuation, TFBRHP had plan assets

in

trust solely to provide benefits to retirees and their

beneficiaries. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an

open basis. The remaining amortization period at January 1, 2010 was 30 years.

- 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.
