This narrativeoverview and analysis of the financial activities of the College is for the fiscal year ended August 31,2008. We encourage readers to consider this information in conjunction with the College'sfinancial statements and the notes to the financial statements which follow.Financial HighlightsNet assets increased by 4,205,514 in 07/08 and by 2,553,080 in 06/07.Net assets at the end of the year were 22,916,600 in 07/08 and 18,711,086 in 06/07.Tuition and fee revenue increased 2% or 163,561 from 7,462,185 in 06/07 to 7,625,746 in 07/08.While overall contact hours increased 2.5% from 06/07 to 07/08, there was a 31.8% increase inunduplicated enrollment. Note that per hour tuition rates were unchanged during 07/08.Federal grants and contracts revenue increased 37% or 2,397,520 from 6,475,366 in 06/07 to 8,872,886 in 07/08. Most of the increase in federal grant revenue was from the Federal StaffordLoan Program in the amount of approximately 1,900,000. In addition, revenue from the Departmentof Education for Pell grants increased 14% or 582,586 from 06/07 to 07/08.Paris Junior College conducted several capital improvement projects in 2007/2008. Theseprojects included replacement of the roof of the Applied Technologies Building; remodel of HatcherHall dorm rooms and bathrooms; remodel of student center basement to create student activityarea; replace cooling tower at the Applied Technologies Building; purchased new chiller for themain plant; and repaired various parking lots around campus. The costs of these projects wasapproximately 713,000. These repairs were funded through current operations.We do not expect any major changes in employment or economic activity in the Paris JuniorCollege service area that would have a significant impact on revenue for the coming year.Paris Junior College purchased 172 acres in Greenville in 2006 to be used for construction of anew campus. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in May, 2007 and construction began inJuly, 2007. The 39,000 square foot building was completed in August, 2008 and classes offered inthe new facility beginning August 25, 2008. The cost for this project was approximately 11,800,000.The existing 21,000 square foot building in Greenville was sold to the Phoenix Charter School for 897,000. That building had been purchased in 1998 for 325,000.4

Paris Junior CollegeManagement's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)August 31, 2008Overview of the Financial StatementsGovernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 requires the implementationof full accrual accounting. The basic financial statements focus on the College as a whole. Thesebasic financial statements are designed to emulate corporate presentation models whereby allCollege activities are consolidated into one total.Statement of Net AssetsThe Statement of Net Assets presents all of the College's assets and liabilities with the differencebetween the two reported as "net assets." Over time, increases or decreases in the College's netassets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the College is improvingor deteriorating. This statement combines and consolidates current financial resources(short-term spendable resources) with capital assets.The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net AssetsThe Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets focuses on both the grosscosts and the net costs of college activities which are supported mainly by state appropriations,Federal revenue, ad valorem taxes and tuition and fee revenues. This approach is intended tosummarize and simplify the user's analysis of costs of various college services to students andthe public. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless ofwhen cash is received or paid.The two statements above report the College's net assets and changes in net assets. The changein net assets provides the reader a tool to assist in determining whether the College's financialhealth is improving or deteriorating. The reader will need to consider other non-financial factorssuch as property tax base, current property tax laws, student enrollment growth, and facilityconditions in arriving at their conclusion regarding the overall health of the College.Statement of Cash FlowsThe Statement of Cash Flows is presented to illustrate the sources and uses of cash for operatingactivities of the College.Notes to Financial StatementsThe notes to financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a fullunderstanding of the data provided in the basic financial statements. The notes to financialstatements can be found immediately following the basic financial statements.5
