The financial analysis is presentedfor fiscal year 2010, with fiscal year 2009 data presented for comparative purposes. Thefinancial statements, footnotes and this discussion are the responsibility of the Collegemanagement.Using the Annual Financial Report:In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released StatementNo. 34, Basic Financial Statements–and Management's Discussion and Analysis–for State andLocal Governments. Statement No. 34 requires a comprehensive look at the entity as a wholeand the depreciation of capital assets.

Cash and cash equivalents increased 0.3 million while all other categoriesremained flat. Cash and cash equivalents went from 1.9 million in 2008-2009 to 2.2 million in2009-2010.Noncurrent assets increased 5.0 million in 2009-2010. It went from 14.8 million in 2008-2009to 19.8 million in 2009-2010. Restricted cash and cash equivalents increased 2.3 million in2009-2010, going from 1.9 million in 2008-2009 to 4.2 million in 2009-2010. In September2009 the College entered into a lease agreement with Gray County, Texas. The lease coveredthe purchase of land and the construction of two new vocational training buildings. The leasecontained an option to purchase, which qualified the agreement as a capital lease and resultedin a new lease payable. In addition, this lease agreement allowed the College to receive 4.1million in proceeds that were to be used to construct the two new vocational/technical classroomcenters. At August 31, 2010 there was 2.3 million remaining in restricted cash from theproceeds and 2.0 million in construction in progress. The other large increase in noncurrentassets was in capital assets. Capital assets went from 12.6 million in 2008-2009 to 15.2million in 2009-2010, for a net increase of 2.6 million. In addition to the 1.9 million relating tothe construction project, the College also purchased a new student management and financialreporting system during 2009-2010 at a cost of 0.5 million, wind equipment totaling 0.3 millionand received a gift of land valued at 0.2 million. These capital additions combined resulted inan increase in net capital assets of 2.6 million.Current liabilities increased 0.3 million, going from 2.3 million in 2008-2009 to 2.8 in 20092010. Accounts payable went from 0.3 million in 2008-2009 to 0.7 million in 2009-2010, for a 0.4 million increase. This increase is the progress billing for the construction of the two newvocational training buildings in Gray County. Other current liabilities went from 0.3 million in6

CLARENDON COLLEGEMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFiscal Year Ending August 31, 20102008-2009 to 0.6 million in 2009-2010, for an increase of 0.3 million. This increase is thecurrent portion of the new lease payable resulting from the lease agreement with Gray County,Texas. Deferred revenue decreased 0.2 million, 1.5 million in 2009-2010 compared to 1.7million in 2008-2009.This fluctuation is a timing issue caused by the timing of studentenrollment for fall classes.Noncurrent liabilities increased by 3.4 million in 2009-2010 compared to 2008-2009, 5.6million compared to 2.2 million, respectively. The increase is again a result of the leaseagreement between the College and Gray County, Texas. The lease agreement resulted in thecreation of a lease payable of 3.9 million. Offsetting this increase were two payment transactions. Due to the further decline in investment income, the College made a decision to useunrestricted funds to pay off a bank note payable, which resulted in a decrease in notes payableof 0.3 million. There was also a scheduled principle payment during 2009-2010 for a reductionof 0.1 million for the bond payable.The net of this activity resulted in an increase in total net assets of 1.4 million, 13.5 million in2008-2009 compared to 14.9 million in 2009-2010.The following is a comparison of net assets and capital assets at August 31, 2010 and 2009:Analysis of Net ,000.00FY 09-106,000,000.00FY 08-094,000,000.002,000,000.00-Capital Unrestricted

The College’s rate of tuitionand fees did not change between 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Although the College did show anincrease in both contact hours and head count in 2009-2010 when compared to 2008-2009, the8

CLARENDON COLLEGEMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFiscal Year Ending August 31, 2010operating revenue shows a decrease of 0.6 million in 2009-2010, 3.4 million in 2008-2009compared to 2.8 million in 2009-2010. Contact hours went from 644,400 in 2008-2009 to751,264 in 2009-2010 while the FTSE (full time student equivalent) went from 1,122 in 20082009 to 1,205 in 2009-2010. These increases are 16.6% and 7.4%, respectively. The reductionin operating revenue is due to an increase in discounts and allowances, which is used to reducetuition and fees and auxiliary enterprises. Discounts and allowances increased 1.2 million in2009-2010, 3.4 million in 2009-2010 compared to 2.2 million in 2008-2009. Even though thisincrease in discounts and allowances does show a reduction in operating revenue, it is offsetwith an increase in nonoperating revenue under federal revenue of 1.1 million. The Collegeestablished an extension center maintenance tax by election in 2009. The .05 tax is collectedin both Gray and Childress counties. Collections in both 2009-2010 and 2008-2009 totaled 0.9million. These funds are restricted and must be used to support the classroom center operatingin each respective county.Operating expenses increased 0.7 million, going from 7.3 million in 2008-2009 to 8.0 millionin 2009-2010. This increase was in instructional expenses. The College has added full-timepersonnel due to the increase in enrollment and the addition of new programs. The additionalpersonnel resulted in an increase of 0.4 in salaries and wages, 0.1 in local and state benefitsand 0.2 in small equipment and supplies for the new programs. All other 2009-2010 operatingexpense functional areas remained constant when compared to 2008-2009.Total nonoperating revenue for 2009-2010 increased 1.4 million, 5.0 million in 2008-2009compared to 6.4 million in 2009-2010. The College did have an increase of 0.4 million instate appropriation for 2009-2010. The College has worked hard to increase enrollment overthe past years through the addition of new academic, technical and athletic programs. Thiswork is reflected in the continue increase in both head count and contact hours. Contact hourshave increased 18.9 % in 2008-2009 and another 16.6% in 2009-2010. This increase in contacthours has earned the College additional funding through state appropriations. Federal financialaid received by the students was reclassified in 2008-2009 from operating to nonoperatingrevenue. All prior years were restated to reflect the same reclassification. The federal aidreceived by the students increased 1.1 million in 2009-2010 when compared to 2007-2008, 1.5 million in 2008-2009 compared to 2.6 million in 2009-2010. In addition to the increasedenrollment of approximately 7.4%, there was also an increase of approximately 13.1% in theannual amount of federal grant aid, Pell, awarded to eligible students, 5,350 in 2009-2010compared to 4,731 in 2008-2009. The College also had a 38.08% increase in the number offederal Pell grant eligible students in 2009-2010, 478 in 2008-2009 compared to 660 in 20092010. The College did receive two one-time gifts totaling 0.5 million in 2009-2010. Both ofthese gifts were restricted and were to be used in the construction of the new vocational trainingbuildings. The continued decline in interest rates resulted in a decrease in investment incomeof 0.1 million in 2009-2010. Interest revenue went from 0.2 million in 2008-2009 to 0.1million in 2009-2010.Net Assets, End of Year 2009-2010 increased 1.4 million.9

Federal financial aid received by the students was reclassified in2008-2009 from operating to nonoperating revenue. Prior year was restated to reflect the samereclassification.The net in cash provided by operating activities and noncapital financing activities for 2009-2010was a slight decrease, 0.1 million, when compared to 2008-2009, 1.8 compared to 1.9,respectively. The overall increase in net cash is due to the construction project in Gray Countyand the one-time gifts received by the College. The increase in cash resulting from capital andrelated financing activities is temporary, and as the college completes the construction of thetwo new vocational training buildings, this cash will be used.When interest rates started to decline in 2002-2003, the College started the practice of investingtheir money for periods of less than one year and has continued this practice through 20092010.Discussion of currently known facts, decisions, or conditions:In May 2008 the voters of both Gray and Childress counties passed a five cent ( 0.05) branchcampus maintenance tax. This vote of approval from the residents of these two counties didallow the College to expand course availabilities at both the Pampa and Childress centers.Clarendon College Pampa Center’s two new vocational buildings are now complete, andclasses in cosmetology, nail technology, vocational nursing, welding, heating and airconditioning and wind energy technology will be taught in these buildings beginning January2011.With our five-year plan, Unleash Your Potential, we will continue to expand our use of facilitiesand technology to respond to the needs of our students. The small average class size at theCollege provides students with more one-on-one interaction with the instructors and anenvironment conducive to learning. The majority of students attending the College do so inorder to transfer credits to other institutions. The College had 87.15% of our students completecourses and also awarded 221 degrees and/or certificates in May 2010.12

CLARENDON COLLEGEMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFiscal Year Ending August 31, 2010The College is also continuing to focus on distance learning. The College currently provideshigh school dual credit courses to sixteen area high schools. In fall 2009, distance educationprovided 16.85% of all contact hours for the College. This is an increase of 2.2% over fall 2008.With the growth of technology we are committed to providing this option to our students.The College has seen a continued growth in enrollment over the past three years. ClarendonCollege’s contact hours rose from 290,672 in fall 2008 to 309,328 in fall 2010, which is a 6.4 %increase. During this same time frame, the College experienced a 27.76% increase in studenthead count going from 1,239 in Fall 2008 to 1,583 in Fall 2010. Clarendon College is committedto and does continue to be a low-cost provider of higher education to our service area.Clarendon CollegeUnleash Your Potential13
