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 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, 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 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
generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures,
which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement
and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the
information and express no opinion on it.
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.

SummaryofOperations
The Florida Bar adopted the provisions ofGovernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets as ofJuly 1, 2009.
Thisstatementrequires all intangibleassetstobecapitalized in thestatementofnetassets. The
Florida Bar possessed software purchased from external sources that had not been previously
capitalized. Capitalassets, operatingexpensesand netassetshavebeen restatedforall periods

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, The Florida Bar had $64,135,939 and $55,270,769 (as restated),
respectively in total assets. Of this amount $53,623,921 and $45,425,002 was held in cash and
investmentsand $7,564,589and $7,226,645 (as restated) was invested in capital assets atJune
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The primary liability atJune 30, 2010 and 2009was deferred
revenueof$10,981,981 and$7,670,851,respectively, resultingfromadvancecollectionofmember
fees and prepayments for Continuing Legal Education registrations. Our net assets were
$44,428,657and$39,248,358(asrestated)atJune30,2010and2009,respectively.
These amounts are in line with the prior year's balances after restatement given the current
changesin netassets. Theoriginaloperating budgetsfortheGeneralFund (excludingthewholly-
ownedsubsidiaryandcontrolledentities)fortheyearsendedJune30,2010and2009approvedby
the Florida Supreme Court, planned on an increase in net assets of $21,760 and $94,033,
respectively. AfterBoardofGovernoramendments,theplannedincreasebecame$1,484,740and

$1,287,840, respectively. General Fund actual operations resulted in a change in net assets of
$6,489,783 and ($1,527,857), respectively. The increase in net assets resulted primarily from the
effects of a more favorable investment climate during the past fiscal year and decreases in
operating costs of the various departments of The Florida Bar. Included in the supplemental
information is 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.

financiallyaccountable, be required to be included in The Florida Barsfinancial 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's 'financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Management's
analysis hasdisclosed no component unitsthat should be included in The Florida Barsfinancial
statements.
Basis of Presentation
The Florida Barisaccountedforasa proprietarytypeenterprisefund. Enterprisefundsare used
to account for activities that are financed and operated in a manner similarto private business
enterprises: (1) where the costs of providing goods and services to the general public on a
continuing basisareto befinancedthrough usercharges; or(2)wherethe periodicdetermination
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 depreciationon capital assets. All revenues and

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the auditors' report.
Adoption of Pronouncement
As of July 1, 2009, The Florida Bar adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 51, The
Accounting and 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.
The following table summarizes the balances as previously reported and the adjustments made to
reflect the adoption of GASB No. 51:

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,

NOTE11 - RETIREEPOSTEMPLOYMENTHEALTHBENEFITS
Plan Description. The Florida BarRetiree Health Plan (TFBRHP) is a single-employerdefined
benefit healthcare plan administered by The Florida Bar. TFBRHP provides health insurance
benefits to eligible employees at early retirement, disability orfull retirement. The Florida Bar
has the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to 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, Florida32399-2300.
- 23-
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 OPEB
cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in The Florida Bar's
net OPEB obligation to TFBRHP:
Annual required contribution $ 69,265
Interest on net OPES obligation

NOTE 11 - RETIREE POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
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

InternalControlOverFinancialReporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries'
internal control overfinancial reporting as a basisfordesigning ourauditing proceduresfor
thepurposeofexpressingouropinionsonthefinancialstatements,butnotforthepurposeof
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofThe Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectivenessofTheFloridaBarandSubsidiaries'internalcontroloverfinancialreporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
managementoremployees, in the normal course ofperforming theirassigned functions, to
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control
deficiency,orcombinationofcontroldeficiencies,thatadverselyaffectsTheFlorida Barand
Subsidiaries' abilityto initiate, authorize, record, process, orreportfinancial data reliably in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a

Board of Governors
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.
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.
