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, 2008 and 2007, which comprise The Florida Bar's 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 fin.ancial 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 bl:Jsiness-type activities of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 24, 2008, 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.

The management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 7 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles We have applied certain limited generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. Our audits were performed 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 has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of 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
I I
I I I
The Florida Bar is the statewide professional and regulatory organization for lawyers with more than 84,800 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 pubHc 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 regulators 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 At June 30, 2008 and 2007, The Florida Bar had $61,717,266 and $58,556,200, respectively in total assets. Of this amount $53,967,114 and $51,221,438 was held in cash and investments and $6,850,102 and $6,339,329 was invested in capital assets at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The primary liability at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was deferred revenue of $10,541,326 and $9,362,874, respectively, resulting from advance collection of member fees and prepayments for Continuing Legal Education registrations. Our net assets were $44,282,555 and $42,327,971 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 and controlled entities) for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 approved by the Florida Supreme Court, planned on an increase in net assets of $598,305 and $724,991, r.espectively. After Board of Governor amendments, the planned increase (decrease) became $245,311 and $(951,934), respectively. General Fund actual operations resulted in a change in net assets of $1,321,352 and $2,963,163, respectively. This improved performance resulted primarily from the implementation of the Florida Registered Paralegal program and efficiencies in operations of the various departments of The Florida Bar. Included in the supplemental information is an actual to budget comparison for each department.

DEBT
At June 30, 2008 and 2007, The Florida Bar had $1,665,886 and $1,864,825, respectively outstanding 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 been purchased to cover the required balloon payment if that is the selected course of action. Future Financial Plan The Florida Bar was created by the Supreme Court of Florida to assist it in regulating the practice of law in Florida. It is primarily funded through lawyer payments of their required annual fee, sale of continuing education programs to lawyers and other revenue from its business partners and affiliates. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
I
I I I
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
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 governmental 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 (UStatement No. 34") of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ItBasic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - 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 Bar's 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 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.
Management's analysis has disclosed no component units that should be included in The Florida Bar's 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

Basis of Accounting

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
II
II II II II
I
I
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they are earned 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, daily repurchase agreements and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are reported as cash equivalents.
II
I
Investments
Investments are reported at fair value, which are based on quoted market prices. The determination of realized gains and losses is independent of the determination of the net change in the fair value of investments. Realized gains and losses on investments held in a previous fiscal year and sold in the current period were used to compute the change in fair value for the previous year and the current year.
il
II
I
Capital Assets
Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 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 created the Clients' Security Fund (the Fund) to compensate people who have suffered financial losses due to misappropriation of funds by errant Florida Bar members. The Fund is financed by $20 of the annual fees from each Florida Bar member who is in good-standing (including inactive members). Claims payable represent amounts payable from the Fund.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues consist primarily of membership fees collected in advance, prepaid advertising and prepaid legal education courses.

Allocation 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 of Consolidation
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. Accordingly, no liability for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements.
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.
Net Assets
Net assets are categorized as invested in capital assets, restricted for scholarships, and undesignated. Invested in capital assets is intended to reflect the portion of net assets that are associated with non-liquid, capital assets. Restricted for scholarships consists of monies restricted for the annual G. Kirk Haas fund scholarships. Undesignated assets consist of all other assets not included in the previous categories.

Derivative Financial Instruments
I
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Florida Bar prospectively adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions (OPEB), during the year ended June 30, 2007. This statement establishes standards for the measurement, recognition, and display of OPEB expenses and related liabilities, note disclosures and, if applicable, required supplementary information, in the financial reports of governmental employers. OPEB costs are accrued when the related services are received by The Florida Bar.
NOTE 3 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are subject to custodial credit risk. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank or other counterparty failure, The Florida Bar's cash and cash equivalents may not be returned. The Florida Bar's policy with respect to custodial credit risk is that The Florida Bar will only maintain demand deposit accounts with financial institutions in which management believes that the risk is limited because the financial institutions are large with strong financial positions. Cash and cash equivalents are held at two financial institutions. Operating cash is held at a financial institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 each for the parent and subsidiary accounts. Operating cash balances were $2,460,726 and $2,561,243 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Additional cash and money market funds are held at a financial institution insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $100,000. Additional cash and money market funds were $11,597,807 and $8,106,625 at June 3D, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
Investment Objectives and 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 are as follows:

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 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 years (low duration funds). However, investments in mutual funds are with the understanding that the investment policies stated in the mutual fund's prospectus supersedes the guidelines established by The Florida Bar.
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 Florida Bar's policy regarding custodial credit risk is that deposits subject to overnight repurchase agreements shall only be invested in securities backed by the United States government. Additionally, 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. The repurchase agreement is exposed to uninsured and uncollateralized custodial credit risk with Bank of America. Investments held through Morgan Stanley have Securities Investor Protection Corporation coverage up to $500,000 per customer for cash and securities and excess protection provided by the Customer Asset Protection Company for up to the net equity value of cash and securities in Morgan Stanley's account. Investments in PIMCO mutual funds are held by a third party trust company.

Investments in international equity securities are limited to SEC-Registered, U.S. exchange listed, U.S. dollar-denominated securities in foreign domiciled issuers. Investments in international debt securities are limited to SEC-registered, U.S. dollar-denominated, U.S. government backed securities issued by foreign governments. The Florida Bar invests in international securities through American Depository Receipts (ADRs). ADRs represent investments in shares of foreign companies traded on the U.S. financial markets and are denominated in U.S. dollars and, thus, are not exposed to foreign currency risk. Investments in foreign currency-denominated government bonds, any type of foreign corporate bond, or any other type of foreign currency are not allowed. Securities of foreign companies traded on foreign stock exchanges may be purchased only with the written pern1ission of The Florida Bar's Investment Committee. Additionally, the investment policy approves 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.

NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE DISCLOSURE -INTEREST RATE SWAP Objective 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~. 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 declines each year as the principal amount of the associated debt declines. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the notional amount was $1,665,886 and $1,864,825, respectively. The swap was entered into at the same time that the debt was refinanced (October 1999). Under the swap, The Florida Bar pays the Bank of America a contracted interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus .47% and receives a payment from Bank of America based on the coupon rate of the swap which is 6.970/0. The net effect of the two contractual rates is an effective fixed rate of 7.440/0. 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 $80,650 and $63,775 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The fair value was estimated by the Bank of America as identified in the Schedule to the International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreement (ISDA) using the mid-market level method. This method is in accordance with market conventions, which take into consideration estimates about relevant present and future market conditions, as well as size and liquidity of the position and related actual or potential hedging transactions.
Basis risk. The swap exposes The Florida Bar to basis risk should the LIBOR rates decrease significantly. If a change occurs that results in a significant decrease in LIBOR rates, the expected cost savings may not be realized. Termination risk. The Florida Bar or the Bank of America may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under terms of the agreement. If at the time of termination the swap has a negative fair value, The Florida Bar would be liable to the Bank of America for a payment equal to the swap's fair value.

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 based on a formula which was 13% and 11 % of covered compensation for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 4.3% on covered compensation exceeding 80% of the Social Security wage base for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 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:

NOTE 11 - 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 to TFHRHP. TFHRHP 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. The contribution requirements of plan members and The Florida Bar are established and may be amended by The Florida Bar. The required contribution is based on an actuarially determined percentage of total active payroll. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, The Florida Bar contributed $64,766 and $1,281,688, respectively, to the plan. Plan members, who are ages 62 through 65 or disabled, are required to contribute $25 per month for retiree-only coverage and $100 per month for all other member coverage. 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 GASS 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, 2008, actuarial valuation, the ARC is 0.37% of active payroll payable for the fiscal years 2008 through 2010. 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 OPES obligation to TFBRHP:
Annual required contribution Interest on net OPES obligation Adjustments to annual reguired contribution Annual OPES cost (expense) Net OPES obligation - July 1, 2007 Annual OPES cost (expense) for 2008 Contributions made during 2008 Net OPES obligation - June 30, 2008

NOTE 11 - RETIREE POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
Funded Status and Funding Progress. As of January 1, 2008, the actuarial valuation date, the plan was 100 % funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was calculated to be $1,216,209 and the actuarial value of the assets was $1 ,288,476, resulting in a funding excess of $72,267. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $14,296,752, and the ratio of the UML to the covered payroll was (0.51%).
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, 2008 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 7.50A> 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 12% initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5% in the year 2015 and beyond. Both rates included a 3% inflation assumption. As of the January 1, 2008 actuarial valuation, TFBRHP did have plan assets in trust solely to provide benefits to retirees and their beneficiaries. The UML is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The remaining amortization period at January 1, 2008 was 30 years. REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

NOTE 17 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
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 ~hanges in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect investment balances.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
I
Board of Governors
The Florida Bar
Tallahassee, Florida
We have audited the basic financial statements of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated October 24, 2008. 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 Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' 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 Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' 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 Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' financial statement that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' 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 Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' internal control.

The Florida Bar
Our consideration of 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 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. We have noted other matters that we have reported to the management of The Florida Bar in a separate letter dated October 24, 2008. 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.
