Honorable Members of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Board Interested Readers of this Report Atlanta, GA 30303-1506

Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is with great pleasure that the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (the “Authority”) presents the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (the “CAFR”) for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2015 . The report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the Authority .

Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the management of the Authority . Management has established internal controls to ensure that the Authority fulfills its responsibility as custodian of public funds . The purpose of internal controls is to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that Authority assets are safeguarded against loss through unauthorized use or disposition . The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of controls should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgements by management .

Mauldin and Jenkins, Certified Public Accountants LLC have audited the Authority’s financial statements for the year . The goal of an independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance the financial statements of the Authority are free of material misstatement . The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for issuing an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the Authority’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 . The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report .

The independent audit of the financial statements of the Authority was part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies . The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards . These reports are available in the Single Audit section of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority .

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) . The MD&A contains a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Authority . The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority’s MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditors’ report . This transmittal letter, which is designed to assist users in assessing the government’s financial condition, should complement the MD&A and should be read from that perspective and in conjunction with all other sections of the Authority’s CAFR .

GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE AUTHORITY 2015 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT I

PROFILE OF THE AUTHORITY

In 1983, the Governor and the Georgia General Assembly, acting on the 1982 recommendations of the Environmental Facilities Study Commission, created the Environmental Facilities Program and placed it in an existing agency called the Georgia Development Authority . The findings of the study commission identified the widening gap between local environmental infrastructure needs and the financial resources to pay for them . The Georgia General Assembly created the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority in 1986 and transferred all of the environmental facilities program assets and functions from the Georgia Development Authority to the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority . In FY 2010, the Georgia General Assembly renamed the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority to the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority .

The Authority is a public corporation and an instrumentality of Georgia state government . There is an eleven-member board, eight appointed by the Governor and three who serve ex-officio . Three of the eight appointees are municipal officials, three are county officials and two are appointed from the state at large . The three ex-officio members are the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and the State Auditor .

The Authority is organized under the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (the “OCGA”), Title 50, Chapter 23 ("The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Act") . The Authority's stated purpose is "to assist local governments in constructing, extending, rehabilitating, repairing and renewing environmental facilities, and to assist in the financing of such needs by providing grants, loans, bonds and other assistance to local governments" and eligible local authorities . Initially, the Authority was only authorized to make loans for water supply or wastewater treatment and related facilities . In 1989, legislation was passed that allowed the Authority to also make loans to fund solid waste management facilities .

In 2010, legislation was passed to allow the Authority to create a subsidiary organization for the purposes of carrying out certain powers of the Authority . As a result of this change, the Authority created the Georgia Environmental Loan Acquisition Corporation (the “Corporation”), a nonprofit organization, to purchase tax-exempt loans from the Authority through a loan securitization transaction . Proceeds from the sale, in conjunction with cash reserves, were used to remit funds back to the state treasury at the voluntary option of the Authority’s board of directors . The Corporation is a component unit of the Authority and is discretely presented within the Authority’s financial statements .

The Authority is comprised of two primary divisions: Water Resources (WRD) and Energy Resources (ERD) . The divisions provide a wide range of services including loans, grants and subsidies to jurisdictions throughout the state for water supply and wastewater improvements, grants for energy conservation and household energy efficiency restorations, services for remediation of underground storage tanks, and grants or loans for conservation of land resources . Administrative divisions of the Authority also exist to support initiatives of these primary divisions .

OUTCOMES AND INITIATIVES

The WRD executed 75 contracts and modifications to existing loans for water, sewer, land conservation and solid waste projects valued at over $194 million during fiscal year 2015 . These loan projects served 63 different communities . It is projected these loan projects will provide financial savings to these communities of approximately $54 million over the life of the loans, typically a 20-year period as well as have an environmental impact on approximately 824 thousand Georgians .

The WRD continues to support projects that assist local governments and authorities and help them to ensure Georgians in their jurisdictions have access to clean and safe drinking water, including helping with large system technical assistance water loss abatement program; an initiative sure to further increase water

conservation throughout the state . Based on the 2015 Project Lists for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, throughout the state project needs totaling over $340 million which have been identified, $89 .1 million for clean water and $250 .9 million for drinking water . Any of the projects on these lists could also be funded from the other resources such as the Georgia Fund .

The ERD is engaged in several initiatives to further conservation across the state . Recently, the EPA released its Clean Power Plan, or the EPA Rule 111d, which requires states to develop methodologies to curb carbon pollution from power plants . In support of these efforts, the ERD is working in conjunction with the Georgia Public Service Commission to review the ruling and determine how energy efficiency can help with compliance .

On the horizon for the ERD will be assisting various state agencies in their efforts to implement the Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracts . Multiyear contracts totaling over $93 .1 million are in the pipeline to be in place at seven different state organizations . Additionally, the ERD is seeking support of a plan to change the state’s legislation in order to allow GEFA to lend to state and local governments for performance contracts .

All of these initiatives are undertaken to promote conservation in energy for state-owned facilities and residential customers . Other initiatives of the ERD include ongoing monitoring and remediation of fuel storage tanks, weatherization of homes for low income residential customers and oversight of the Georgia Energy Challenge program which seeks to encourage reduced energy usage for commercial and residential users .

Both divisions will continue to adapt to the various federal, state and local level changes that influence their core missions . Each will have to look to formulate new ways to secure additional funding to manage its programs as federal, state and local governments react to economic conditions and continual changes in the country’s financial markets .

For additional information regarding activities of the Authority, please see the Statistical Section of this CAFR which provides specific outcomes of many of these program initiatives .

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting . The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (the “GFOA”) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Authority for its CAFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 . This was the 28th consecutive year the Authority has achieved this prestigious award .

To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR . This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements . A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year . We anticipate this year’s CAFR will also qualify for this distinguished award .

Acknowledgements . This report could not have been prepared without the support and encouragement of the Authority’s management, staff and members of its board . We are very appreciative for their dedication to sound responsible financial operations . Additionally, any financial report is only as good as the accounting and financial records that supply its supporting data . The Authority’s fiscal services division deserves special recognition for their dedication, knowledge, perseverance and attention to detail . Lastly, we would like to give a special thanks to the division directors; the administrative team for its contributions in the preparation of the CAFR and to our independent auditors, Mauldin and Jenkins, Certified Public Accountants LLC, for their expertise, professionalism and dedication to ensure our audit was completed efficiently and timely .

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT The Members of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Atlanta, Georgia

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (the “Authority”), a component unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE AUTHORITY 2015 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 1

Page 16: GEFA 2015 CAFR

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Notes 8 and 12, the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, as well as Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, as of July 1, 2014. These standards significantly changed the accounting for the Authority’s net pension liability and the related disclosures. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Schedule of Authority’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability, and Schedule of Authority’s Contributions on pages 4 through 16, 53 and 54, respectively, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements. The combining non-major fund financial statements; the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, as required by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations; and the introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The combining non-major fund financial statements and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining non-major fund financial statements and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 29, 2015 on our consideration of the Authority’s 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

(Unaudited)

The management of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (the “Authority”) offers this narrative overviewand analysis of the financial activities of the Authority for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2015 . This discussion and analysis examines in further detail the Authority’s financial performance as a whole . Readers of this report arealso encouraged to review the financial statements and notes to the financial statements to enhance their understanding of business activities conducted by the Authority .

Key financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2015 include:

Total assets plus deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities plus deferred inflows of resourcesat the close of the fiscal year by $2 .1 billion (net position) . Of this amount, $2 billion is available to fundongoing loan activity of the Authority, its primary business initiative .

Total long-term liabilities experienced a net decrease of $1,454,463 during the 2015 fiscal year, all withingovernmental activities . The decrease was mostly attributable to the changes in the Authority’sproportionate share of Net Pension Liability .

The Authority’s total net position increased $111 .2 million . The net position in governmental activitiesincreased by $2 .8 million, a significant increase over the prior fiscal year mostly due to an increasetransfers-in to fund activity of governmental funds . The net position of business-type activities increased$108 .4 million, a significant increase over the prior year due to additional contributions from federal andstate authorities .

Total governmental revenues decreased from 2014 to 2015 by $1 .6 million . The decreased revenue isprimarily attributable to a decrease in charges for services, caused by a reduction in closing fee revenueson executed loan agreements and operating grants and contributions to fund certain energy programs .

Charges for services within business-type activities experienced a decrease of $2 .1 million from the prioryear . This net reduction in charges for services is partially attributable to less revenue recognition due tosignificant loan payoffs resulting in reduced principal outstanding during the 2015 year .

The above financial highlights are explained further in the “financial analysis” section of this document .

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

(Unaudited)

This discussion and analysis section is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority’s basic financial statements . The Authority’s financial statements contain three components: government-wide statements, fund financial statements and notes to the basic financial statements . This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves .

The Authority’s comprehensive annual financial report includes two government-wide financial statements . Thesestatements are intended to provide a broad overview of both long-term and short-term information about the Authority’s overall financial position . Financial reporting at this level uses a financial perspective similar to that found in the private sector with its basis in accrual accounting and elimination or reclassification of activities between funds .

The first government-wide statement is the Statement of Net Position, which is the government-wide statement that presents information that includes all of the Authority’s assets, deferred outflows or resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between these reported as net position . Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Authority, as a whole, is improving or deteriorating . Evaluation of the overall fiscal health of the Authority would extend to other nonfinancial factors such as new or changes in legislation over which the Authority has no direct control, changes in levels of federal or state funding, or a change in management’s programmatic focus, in addition to the financialinformation provided in this report .

The second government-wide statement is the Statement of Activities, which reports how the Authority’s net position changed during the reported fiscal period . All current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for regardless of when cash is received or paid . Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods . One important purpose of the statement of activities is to show the financial reliance of the Authority’s distinct activities or functions on the revenues provided by the state of Georgiaand federal grantors, as well as that on the revenue streams from repayment of loans from our ever-growing customer base .

Both government-wide financial statements distinguish governmental activities of the Authority that are principally supported by federal or state appropriated grants from business-type activities that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges . Governmental activities include general administrative operations of the Authority and those costs incurred for expenditure-driven grant programs, such as those incurred by the Energy Resources Division as well as those costs associated with administering the federalstate revolving loan programs . Business-type activities include all operations of the Authority’s lending programs,as well as activities associated with its fuel storage tank maintenance program . The government-wide financialstatements are presented on pages 17 and 18 of this report .

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

(Unaudited)

A fund is an accounting unit used to maintain control over resources segregated for specific activities or objectives . The Authority uses funds to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related laws and regulations . Withinthe basic financial statements, fund financial statements focus on the Authority’s most significant funds rather than the Authority as a whole . Major funds are separately reported while all other (nonmajor) funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation . Individual fund data for nonmajor funds is provided in the form of combining statements in a later section of this report .

All of the funds of the Authority can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds .

Governmental funds are reported in the fund financial statements and include the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements . However, the focus is different with fund financial statements providing a varied view of the Authority’s governmental funds . These statements report short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of the spendable resources . They account for items using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash . They are useful in evaluating annual financing requirements of governmental programs and the Authority’s ability to commit spendable resources for near-term expenditures .

Since the government-wide focus includes the long-term view, comparisons between these two outlooks may provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term spending decisions . For this particular reason, reconciliation between the governmental activities (shown in the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities) and the governmental funds is provided at the bottom of the fund financial statements .

The Authority maintains ten (10) individual governmental funds . Information is presented separately in thegovernmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Weatherization Assistance Program Fund, Clean Water SRF AdministrationFund, Drinking Water SRF State Program Setasides Fund, Drinking Water SRF Local Assist Setasides Fund and the Drinking Water SRF Administration Fund, which are considered major funds and are presented on pages 19-21 of this report . Data from other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation .Individual data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report .

Proprietary funds are reported in the fund financial statements and generally report those activities for which the Authority charges its customers a fee for the use of its financial resources or technical expertise . The Authority’s proprietary funds are classified as enterprise funds . These enterprise funds essentially are the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows associated with these distinct programs .

The Authority maintains seven (7) individual enterprise funds . Information is presented separately in the enterprise fund statement of net position and in the enterprise fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net

Individual fund data for the nonmajor enterprise funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report .

The accompanying notes to the financial statements provide information necessary for a full understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements . The notes to the financial statements begin on page 25 of this report .

In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying note disclosures, this report also presents certainsupplementary information concerning the Authority’s funds . As mentioned previously, the Authority reports major funds in the basic financial statements . Combining and individual statements and schedules for nonmajor funds are presented in this section of this report beginning on page 49 .

Year-to-year financial changes in net position trend information is accumulated on a consistent basis . This information trend will be observed, analyzed and used to discuss the financial position of the Authority as a whole . Net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of the Authority’s financial position . Net position of theAuthority exceeded $2 billion in fiscal year 2015 mostly due to an infusion of cash from various funding agencies and additional capital provided to loan recipients . The following table presents a summary of the Authority’s net position:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

(Unaudited)

The Authority’s investment in capital assets comprises expenditures made for securing computer equipment and furniture and fixtures . Minimal cash has been expended for the purposes of acquiring capital assets because the Authority’s primary function is to be a financial conduit on behalf of the State of Georgia and therefore holds few depreciable assets . These assets are used to enable Authority employees the ability to perfom daily work duties In support of program services offerred . Thus, the Authority’s investment in capital assets of $124 .3 thousand at fiscal year year-end is not available for future spending .

There was a decrease in restricted net position of the Authority’s governmental activites of approximately $2 .3 million .

Total restricted for grant programs decreased by $475 .4 thousand . Total retricted for loan programs decreased by $1 .8 million .

There was an increase in restricted net position of the Authority’s business-type activities of approximately $65 .4 million, a slight increase over 2014’s increase of $63 .7 million, which was all held for the use of the Authority’s federal loan programs .

Charges for services within governmental activities decreased by approximately 26 percent . These fees are for administrative costs retained outside of loan programs and are earned based on the value of loans executed during the fiscal year . For fiscal year 2015, the value of executed projects was less than the value of projects executed in 2014 .

Operating grants and contributions of the Authority decreased by $1 .2 million . The majority of this decrease was experienced within the General Fund . The Authority’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund program’s administrative funds allowed under expenditure-driven grant provisions were exhausted and the Authority utilized other relevant funding to cover program cost .

Unrestricted investment earnings of $68 .9 thousand within governmental activities were reported during the year, up from $54 .4 thousand in 2014 . The uptick in investment earmings in governmental activities stems from higher funds held in investment accounts for the purpose of funding the required match for federal loan projects .

Governmental Functional Expenses

Expenses within the general government function were down nearly $571 thousand because of continued reductions in personnel associated with several retirements and periods of position vacancies in correlation to these retirements .

Additionally, there was an increase in the water and wastewater program function expenses of governmental activities . This function of the Authority is primarily dependent upon activity associated with pass through contractors and is driven mostly by related expenses incurred by these contractors . For FY 2015, initiatives of several programs were expanded thus contributing to this increase .

The land conservation function financed projects and other program expenses totaling $61 .6 thousand, increasing greater than seven times charges of $8 .7 thousand in fiscal year 2014 .

Expenses

Expenses within the Authority’s business-type activites increased during the current fiscal year within water and wastewater programs . This increase is mainly related to forgiveness and subsidies provided on loans within the Clean Water SRF Revolving Loan and Drinking Water SRF Revolving Loan Funds .

The storage tank maintenance program had a decrease in expenses of $63 .2 thousand or approximately 11 percent due to less activity for projects .

General and administrative expenses reflect those expenses incurred by the Authority to execute its business-type activities . These expenses decreased slightly from those of the prior year, down by $32 .5 thousand, or 8 percent . This decrease is primarily due to one-time refunds provided to customers in 2014 that did not occur in 2015 .

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

As noted earlier, the focus of the Authority’s governmental funds is to provide information on short-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources . This information is useful in assessing reserves available at the end of the year in comparison to upcoming financing requirements . Governmental funds reported ending fund balances of $44 .4 million in fiscal year 2015, compared to $42 .1 million in fiscal year 2014 . Of these year-end totals, $8 .4 million for fiscal year 2015 and $3 .9 million in 2014 was unassigned and available for continued financing by the Authority .

The total ending fund balances of governmental funds show an increase of $2 .3 million, compared to the increase experienced in fiscal year 2014 of $1 .1 million . This change is primarily due to increased funding transferred in from proprietry funds to support operational costs .

The General Fund is the Authority’s primary operating fund and the source of daily administrative operations . The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $4 .7 million in fiscal year 2014 as compared to the $517 .4 thousand increase from the previous year . The portion of fund balance obligated in the General Fund at year-end was $5 .1 million, up from $4 .9 million in fiscal year 2014 . The majority of these increases can be attributed to decreased activity levels in match-related expenditures for the federal loan programs .

The General Fund’s ending unassigned portion of fund balance of $8 .4 million represents the equivalent of greater than 100 percent of its current year’s expenditures . The Authority’s overall cash flow within the General Fund is generally consistent with increased activity occurring at quarter’s end . The Authority relies very little on the unassigned portion of fund balance because administrative expenditures of the Authority are satisfied by eitherdirect grants or contracts from federal and state sources or transfers from repayments streams of other funds thatcould statutorily satisfy administrative costs of the Authority . The Clean Water State Revolving AdministrationFund, Drinking Water State Revolving Adminstrative Fund and the Georgia Fund are the Authority’s resources to cover administrative expenditures incurred within certain programs which are not directly funded by a dedicated revenue source or financing contract or grant .

The Weatherization Assistance Program Fund serves as a special revenue fund to provide federal grant funds to local governments and nonprofit organizations throughout the state of Georgia in an effort to assist low income households achieve energy efficiencies in their homes . Revenues and expenditures typically net to zero as thefunding is expenditure-driven and thus no fund balance had been reported for previous fiscal years . In prior years, the Authority recognized $1 .7 thousand in program income from the sale of a vehicle returned to the program and that amount has been restricted to fund additional expenditures for the program since . During the year, the Authority used $404 .3 thousand of its internal energy investment funds to supplant charges not reimbursable by one of the division’s funders . Total expenditures reported within this fund were $7 .7 million .

The Clean Water State Revolving Administration Fund is a special revenue fund to report operations for revenuesreceived for the ongoing administrative efforts of the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund . These funds are used to support general operations of the Authority and are received primarily from loan receipients, rather than a direct contribution from federal or state governments . Another source of income within this fund is income received from investments . The reported fund balance within this fund was $22 .7 million and is restricted for use . Total expenditures for this fund were $432 .8 thousand . Another $1 .7 million was transferred to the General Fund to support general administrative charges of the Authority associated with its federal Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund program .

The Drinking Water SRF State Program Setasides Fund serves as a special revenue fund for programs providing federal grant funds for various drinking water projects for the state’s public water supervision program . The Authority reported $1 .8 million in expenditure-driven grant funds, for which revenue and expenditure activity typically nets to zero, and therefore no fund balance has been reported for fiscal year 2015 .

The Drinking Water SRF Local Assist Setasides Fund serves as a special revenue fund for programs providing federal grant funds for various drinking water projects for technical assistance to public water systems for capacity development purposes . The Authority reported $2 .5 million in expenditure-driven grant funds, for which revenue and expenditure activity typically nets to zero, and therefore no fund balance has been reported for fiscal year 2015 .

The Drinking Water State Revolving Administration Fund is a special revenue fund to report operations for revenues received for the ongoing administrative efforts of the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund . Thesefunds are used to support general operations of the Authority and are received primarily from loan receipients,rather than a direct contribution from federal or state governments . Another source of income within this fund is income received from investments . The reported fund balance within this fund was $3 .8 million and is restricted for use . Total expenditures for this fund were $515 .2 thousand . Another $385 .2 thousand was transferred to the General Fund to support general administrative charges of the Authority associated with its federal Drinking WaterState Revolving Loan Fund program .

The proprietary funds’ statements share the same focus as the government-wide statements, reporting both short-term and long-term information about financial status . Each of the fund statements gives detailed information about the fund’s financial condition . The viability of the Authority’s loan and fuel storage tank maintenance programs is evident by this year-end’s changes in net position detailed below .

The Authority’s proprietary funds report the activities of the loan and fuel storage tank maintenance programs . The net position of the proprietary funds increased $108 .4 million from business operations . The total interest income from loans for proprietary funds with a lending component for 2015 was $32 .9 million, an 8 percent decrease from the previous year . The decrease is mostly attributed to large early payoffs received which shorten the interest earnings periods on loans with later maturities . Offsetting this interest revenue reduction to net position wereincreases in contributions from federal and state sources as previously mentioned .

The fuel storage tank maintenance program had total revenues of approximately $1 million partially from fees charged customers for the maintenance of state-owned equipment . The Authority has not adjusted fee rates for this program in approximately three years and therefore collections have remained relatively constant .

Net position of the Authority’s proprietary funds for federal programs are restricted for their respective purposes and are recycled into resources available to fund their core missions . Net position of the Authority’s proprietary funds for state programs are typically unrestricted and can be used for the purposes they are held for, as authorized through current legislation, and recycled into resources available to fund their core missions .

The Authority does not have a budget directly approved by citizens of the State of Georgia . Instead, its appropriation is included in the State of Georgia’s budget as a line item request within the Georgia Department of Community Affairs budget under the Authority’s enabling legislation . However, the Authority’s management does utilize a budget for its General Fund to be used for financial analysis purposes throughout the year .

The Authority’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of June 30, 2015 amounts to $124 .3 thousand (net of accumulated depreciation) . This investment in capital assets includes equipment, furniture and fixtures . As of the close of the fiscal year, the Authority had no investment in capital assets of business-typeactivities because those activities are dedicated to the financing of loan and certain grant or subsidized projects and hold no depreciable assets . Additional information regarding the Authority’s capital assets can be found in Note 7, pages 40 .

As of June 30, 2015, the Authority had a total of $5 .1 million in outstanding long-term liabilities, a decrease ofapproximately $1 .5 million . Of this amount, approximately $119 .7 thousand is due within one year .

GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE AUTHORITY (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia)

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (the “Authority”) was created by an Act of the State of Georgia (the “State”) in 1986 as the successor agency to the Georgia Development Authority Environmental Facilities Program . The primary mission of the Authority is to provide funding to eligible municipalities, counties, water and sewer authorities, and solid waste authorities in the state for construction and expansion of public water, sewer, and solid waste facilities .

The Governor of the State of Georgia appoints eight members of the Authority’s Board and three ex-officio members are designated by the Authority’s enabling legislation . Due to the extent of its fiscal dependency on the State, the Authority is considered a component unit of the State .

The Authority has control over the Division of Energy Resources (the “DOER”), which provides administration for statewide energy conservation programs including weatherization of homes for low income citizens and retrofitting of HVAC systems for schools and other state facilities .

Additionally, the Authority has control over the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (the “SRF”), which was previously administered by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (the “EPD”) . EPD retained compliance responsibility for capitalization grants issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) applicable to Federal fiscal years 1988-1993 until such grants were fully expended . The Authority is the recipient of and is responsible for the administration of capitalization grants applicable to Federal fiscal years 1994 and beyond . The Authority and EPD have signed a reciprocal agreement concerning technical and financial administration of the SRF . This agreement places ownership of the fund with the Authority in accordance with Sections 12-5-38 .1 and 50-23-5 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (the “OCGA”) . As a result, the full amount of assets, liabilities, and net position of the fund are included in the financial statements of the Authority in the Clean Water SRF and in the Drinking Water SRF .

The SRF was initially established for the purpose of making loans to local governments for construction of publicly owned wastewater treatment facilities and was funded through capitalization grants from EPA under the authority of the Clean Water Act . In 1996, the U .S . Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act and added a Drinking Water SRF program . The program was established for the purpose of making loans to local governments for construction of publicly owned water supply facilities and is funded through capitalization grants from the EPA under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act . To receive capitalization grants from both of these programs, a recipient state must agree to provide state funds for qualifying projects equal to 20% of the capitalization grant amount . In order to provide the matching requirement for the Clean Water SRF program, the Authority has dedicated qualifying loans from its existing state funded loan portfolio and certain interest earnings on loan repayments and transferred these loans and interest earnings to the SRF . In some instances, the matching requirement is met by amounts appropriated, and paid, by the state, the Authority’s current method for meeting the 20% match requirement . The results of these transactions are displayed on the financial statements of the major enterprise funds – the Clean Water State Revolving

Loan Fund, the Clean Water State Match Revolving Loan Fund, the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund and the Drinking Water State Match Revolving Loan Fund .

Effective July 1, 1995, the Fuel Storage Tank Management Group (the “FST”) formerly part of the EPD was brought under the control of the Authority . This unit is engaged in the disposal and/or remediation of state owned fuel tanks to mandated EPA standards . Therefore, local governments do not benefit directly from this program . Pursuant to the bond issuance from which the proceeds to fund FST remediation efforts were derived, the Authority is not authorized to receive and expend bond funds for the program . Thus, the Authority has entered into an agreement with the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (the “GSFIC”) and the Georgia Building Authority (the “GBA”) to act as agents to receive and expend funds under this program . However, the Authority administers this program and determines fund recipients . GSFIC and GBA only act as receiving and paying agents . Therefore, the only activity reflected on the Authority’s books is for the cost of the operation of the unit . FST bond funds received by GSFIC and expended by GBA were not accounted for on the Authority’s books prior to fiscal year 2009 . Effective fiscal year 2009, the Authority began reporting activity of the FST and that activity is reflected in the nonmajor enterprise fund – Storage Tank Maintenance Fund .

In 2010, the Authority’s governing legislation was amended to provide for the creation of subsidiary corporations to carry out any of its corporate purposes and to permit it to transfer to the State of Georgia any funds not needed for its corporate purposes . In July 2010, the Authority created the Georgia Environmental Loan Acquisition Corporation (the “Corporation”) as a subsidiary organization pursuant to such provisions of law for the purpose of acquiring a portion of the Authority’s loan portfolio and issuing bonds secured by the acquired loans to finance their purchase .

Reporting Entity – Component units are legally separate organizations for which the State’s or Authority’s elected or appointed officials are financially accountable . In accordance with criteria in GASB Statements Nos . 14, 39 and 61, the Authority qualifies for treatment as a component unit of the State of Georgia; therefore, the Authority’s financial statements are included in the State of Georgia’s combined financial statements as a discretely presented component unit .

Financial accountability is the ability of the Authority to appoint a voting majority of an organization’s governing board and to impose its will upon the organization or when there exists the potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government . When the Authority does not appoint a voting majority of organization’s governing body, GASB standards require inclusion in the financial reporting entity if an organization is fiscally dependent upon the Authority, its resources are held for the direct benefit of the Authority or can be accessed by the Authority, and a potential financial benefit or burden relationship exists or the relationship is such that it would be misleading to exclude it . In accordance with GASB Statements No . 14 and 61, the Corporation qualifies for treatment as a component unit because it is a legally separate, tax-exempt organization, the majority of whose board is appointed by the Authority, for which the Authority can impose its will on the Corporation by virtue of having the same management personnel,

and whose economic resources are directly accessible by the Authority . As such, the Authority presents within these statements the Corporation as a discretely presented component unit .

The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position of the Corporation are reported discretely in the Authority’s financial statements as required by government accounting standards . Complete separate financial statements for the Corporation may be obtained at Director, Fiscal Services Division, 233 Peachtree Street, NE, Harris Tower, Suite 900, Atlanta, GA 30303-1506 .

The Authority presents government-wide financial statements which are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus . Government-wide financial statements (i .e . the statement of net position and the statement of activities) do not provide information by fund, but distinguish between the Authority’s governmental activities and business type activities . Significantly, the statement of net position includes noncurrent assets and liabilities and the government-wide statement of activities reflects depreciation expenses on the Authority’s capital assets and changes in long-term liabilities . Also, for the most part, the effect of the interfund activity is removed from these statements . Net position in the statement of net position is distinguished between amounts invested in capital assets (net of any related debt), amounts that are restricted for use by third parties or outside requirements, and amounts that are unrestricted .

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues . Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment . Program revenues include 1) charges to customers who purchase, use, or benefit from the services provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment, and 3) interest income that is restricted for use on a particular function or segment . Unrestricted interest income and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general revenues .

In addition to the government-wide financial statements, the Authority has prepared separate financial statements for governmental funds and proprietary funds . Governmental fund financial statements use the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current financial resources measurement focus and proprietary fund financial statements use the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus .

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements . Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows . Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met .

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting . Revenues are recognized as soon as they are considered measurable and available . Revenues are considered available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period . For this purpose, the Authority considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year . An exception to this rule is administrative fees received on loans which are paid within one year of the initial construction loan contract, and as a result, those revenues are considered available to pay the related costs in establishing the loan if collected within one year of the current fiscal period . Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under usual accrual accounting . Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met . Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other grant certifications and requirements have been met .

The Authority reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund – The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Authority . It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund .

Weatherization Assistance Program Fund – This fund is used to account for the Authority’s grants to local governments and nonprofit entities to be used for the weatherization of low and moderate income citizen’s homes, as well as provide assistance in paying utility bills for these citizens . Part of this program is known as the Integrated Resources Program (the “IRP”) and is funded by contributions from the Georgia Power Company pursuant to an order of the Georgia Public Service Commission . Other financing is provided by Federal grants from the Department of Energy and the Department of Health and Human Services and petroleum violation escrow funds .

Clean Water SRF Administration Fund – This fund is used to account for assets held by the Authority for the future administration of the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund program . The assets were collected from loan origination fees and are to be used to administer the monitoring of projects funded by loans to local governments for waste water treatment plants .

Drinking Water SRF State Program Setasides Fund – This fund is used to account for the Authority’s “set aside” grants used for various safe drinking water projects . Financing is provided through the Federal Drinking Water capitalization grant . States are allowed to use 10% of their capitalization grants to provide funding for certain activities that provide assistance to state programs such as administration of the Public Water Supervision Program (the “PWSS”) .

Drinking Water SRF Local Assistance Setasides Fund – This fund is used to account for the Authority’s “set-aside” grants used for various safe drinking water projects .

The federal government requires the state to match 20% of the funds contributed to the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund in order to receive the full funding available for drinking water treatment projects . The original funding for these loans is provided by the state . The fund’s revenues are derived from interest income on loans receivable and interest income on investments .

As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements, except for the net activity between the governmental and business-type activities .

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items . Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations . The principal operating revenue of each of the Authority’s enterprise funds is interest income on loans outstanding and fee charges for providing training and technical assistance to UST and AST operators . Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include direct general and administrative expenses of administering the programs . All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses . General administrative overhead expenses are recorded in the general government function within the governmental activities .

When multiple resources are available for use, it is the Authority’s policy to use resources in the following order: (1) restricted, (2) committed, (3) assigned, and (4) unassigned, for those items recorded within the governmental funds . For net position, restricted resources are used when available, prior to unrestricted resources . Nonspendable resources are utilized in accordance with requirements for those resources to be expended, i .e . billing terms, normal consumption or payment schedules .

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all investments with original maturity dates of three months or less are considered cash equivalents .

Loans receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balance less undisbursed portion of loans in process . Additionally, certain loan programs utilized by the Authority allow for forgiveness of a certain portion of the principal amount of the loan or provide a subsidized portion of the loan to communities who meet eligibility criteria to qualify as “disadvantaged” communities under federal poverty guidelines . The expected forgiven amount or subsidized portion has been expensed by the Authority as the overall loans are disbursed and this amount is not included in the loans receivable at year end .

The evaluation of the need for an allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, payment history and other such factors which, in

management’s judgment, deserve recognition in estimating loan losses . As of June 30, 2015, the Authority does not have a basis for establishing such a provision based on these criteria .

All outstanding balances between funds are reported as due from/to other funds in the fund financial statements . Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances .”

General capital assets are those assets not specifically related to activities reported in proprietary funds . These assets generally result from expenditures of governmental funds . The Authority reports these assets in the governmental activities column of government-wide statement of net position but does not report these assets in the Authority’s fund financial statements .

equipment and furniture and fixtures and are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements . Capital assets are defined by the Authority as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years . Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation . The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset’s life are expensed and therefore not capitalized .

Capital assets of the Authority are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Investments consist of funds on deposit in the Georgia Fund 1, the State of Georgia investment pool . The Georgia Fund 1 is an external investment pool, managed by the State of Georgia's Office of the State Treasurer . The Authority’s investments in the Georgia Fund 1 are stated at fair market value .

The Authority is exempt from Federal income taxes as an integral part of a state government . Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements .

It is the Authority’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits . No liability is reported for unpaid accumulated sick leave because the payment of the benefits is contingent upon any future illness of an employee . No cash payments for accumulated sick leave are made to employees upon their retirement or termination of employment .

Vacation benefits are accrued as a liability as the benefits are earned if the employees’ rights to receive compensation are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that the employer will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid time-off or some other means . All compensated absence liabilities include salary-related payments, where applicable .

The total compensated absence liability is reported on the government-wide financial statements . Proprietary funds report the total compensated liability in each individual fund at the fund reporting level . Governmental funds report the compensated absence liability at the fund reporting level only “when due .”

The Authority is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; workers’ compensation; and natural disasters .

The Authority is a member of the State of Georgia Insurance Fund, a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for various state agencies . The Authority pays an annual premium to the state for its insurance coverage . For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Authority paid premiums totaling $20,798 .

(1) Government-wide statements – Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:

(a) Investment in capital assets – Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or other debt attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets, if any .

(b) Restricted net position – Consists of net position with constraints placed on the use either by (a) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation .

(c) Unrestricted net position – All other assets that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “investment in capital assets .”

(2) Fund financial statements - Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance . Fund balance can have one of five primary classifications: (1) nonspendable, (2) restricted, (3) committed, (4) assigned or (5) unassigned . Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent and are, therefore, not included in the current year appropriation . Restricted fund balance includes amounts that are restricted to very specific purposes and cannot be redeployed for other purposes . The Authority considers restricted first and then unrestricted amounts spent when expenditures have been incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available . These restrictions are either externally imposed by outside parties or by constitutional provisions or enabling legislation . Committed fund balance represents amounts that have internally imposed restrictions mandated by formal action of the Authority’s Board, with removal of the commitment only if by formal action of the Authority’s Board . Assigned fund balance represents amounts that are constrained by the Authority’s intent that they will be used for specific purposes which may be so designated by the Authority’s Executive Director, as appointed by the Board, or governing Board . The Authority fund equity balances are comprised of restricted and unassigned amounts . Amounts restricted represent appropriated amounts provided by the State to execute certain grant programs of the Authority and general obligation bond proceeds of the state provided to be a match resource to the federally funding state revolving loan funds .

Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that are available for further appropriation and expenditure for general governmental purposes . Unassigned fund balance is only available for the Authority’s General Fund . Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements .

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resource and the reported amount of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period . Actual results could differ from those estimates .

The Authority and its component unit will adopt the following new accounting pronouncements in future years, if applicable:

Statement No . 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, effective for the Authority’s year ending June 30, 2016 .

Statement No . 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68, partially effective for the Authority’s year ending June 30, 2016 with the remaining provisions effective in 2017 .

Statement No . 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, effective for the Authority’s year ending June 30, 2017 .

Statement No . 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, effective for the Authority’s year ending June 30, 2018 .

Statement No . 76, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments, effective for the Authority’s year ending June 30, 2016 .

Statement No . 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures, effective for the Authority’s year ending June 30, 2017 .

Management is in the process of determining the effect, if any, that the adoption of these Statements will have on the Authority’s or its component unit’s financial position or the disclosures in its financial statements .

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net

position of the Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) and additions to/deductions from ERS’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by ERS . For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms . Investments are reported at fair value .

The Authority does not have a budget directly approved by citizens of the State of Georgia . Instead, its appropriation is included in the State of Georgia’s budget as a line item request within the Department of Community Affairs budget under the Authority’s enabling legislation . However, the Authority’s management does utilize a budget for its General Fund to be used for financial analysis purposes throughout the year . The Authority received a state appropriation of $348,495 and general obligation bond proceeds of $50,000,000 for fiscal year 2015 which were collected in their entirety and expended or obligated for the state and federal loan programs .

Primary Government

Custodial Credit Risk – Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of bank failure, the Authority’s deposits may not be returned to it . The Authority has a formal deposit policy with its selected custodian, or an agent acting on behalf of the custodian, for custodial credit risk as required by the State of Georgia which insures balances over the FDIC insurance at 110% of that overage . The Authority’s bank balances of $29,781,595 at June 30, 2015 were entirely insured by FDIC insurance or collateralized by investment securities held by the Authority’s agent in the Authority’s name .

Investments

Credit Risk - Statutes authorize the Authority to invest in obligations of the State of Georgia, obligations of the U .S . Treasury and U .S . Agencies, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, rate guarantee agreements, and State operated investment pools . The State operated investment pool is authorized to invest in the same types of securities .

As shown below, the Authority’s investments at June 30, 2015 were categorized by credit risk as follows:

Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is associated with changes in interest rates that adversely affect an investment’s fair value . Since the price of a bond fluctuates inversely with market interest rates, the price of the bond held in a portfolio will decline if market interest rates rise . At June 30, 2015, interest rate risk is represented in the above table as “Maturities” for each investment classification . The Authority’s Investment Policy has been developed around those policies set forth by the State of Georgia . The Authority has structured its investment portfolio with investments having maturity dates at or prior to the time cash is

prudently projected to be required to meet disbursement needs, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities prior to their maturity . This structure has been achieved by providing investments in the Georgia Fund 1 . The Authority’s investment policy further outlines that the portfolio for investments in U .S . Treasuries and U .S . Agencies are limited to maturities with a maximum of five years from the date of purchase, although the Authority did not have any long-term investments at June 30, 2015 .

Component Unit

Custodial Credit Risk - The Corporation maintains cash balances in bank accounts at multiple banks . These balances, at times, may exceed federal insured limits . Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of bank failure, the Corporation’s deposits may not be returned to it . The Corporation has a formal deposit policy with its selected custodian, or an agent acting on behalf of the custodian, for custodial credit risk as required by the State of Georgia which insures balances over the FDIC insurance at 110% of that overage .

Loans receivable at June 30, 2015 are summarized as follows:

At June 30, 2015, the Authority had commitments to fund projects, excluding the undisbursed portion of loans in process, totaling $156,547,974 . In accordance with certain loan programs, the Authority expensed a forgiven portion of loans in the amount of $1,901,521 in the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund and $2,437,690 in the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund during fiscal year 2015 .

Additionally, the Authority provided a subsidized portion of loans in the amount of $696,567 in the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund and $201,881 in the Drinking Water State Match Revolving Loan Fund.As these amounts are expensed and forgiven or subsidized, they are not included in the unpaid principal balance above .

Based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic factors, past payment history and other relevant factors, including the borrowers’ ability to repay and the Authority’s remedies to enforce repayment, a provision for potential loan losses has not been provided . Such remedies include the ability of

Corporation retired $15,925,000 more than its anticipated retirement of debt . The early retirement of debt by the Corporation is predicated on local governments’ decisions to pay off their outstanding debt and is undeterminable as of June 30, 2015 as well as any reduction in interest amounts to be paid . Amounts due in 2016 above include known prepayments subsequent to June 30, 2015 which will be paid in FY 2016 . Any reduced interest payments as a result of the early retirements of debt will be considered a cost savings to the Corporation and are not reflected in the above table .

For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Corporation had the following activity within its long-term liabilities:

The unamortized bond discounts for both issuances were deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method .

Subsequent Events – Full Retirement of Debt CCMWA Loan, Series 2011

The Corporation received full repayment of funds that secured the debt of the CCMWA Loan, Series 2011 issuance on July 14, 2015 . As stated above, once the Corporation receives prepayment used to retire the debt, those prepayments are considered mandatory redemptions toward the outstanding debt and are therefore reflected as due within one year .

The Authority’s capital asset activity for the year ended June 30, 2015 was as follows:

Depreciation expense of $23,708 was charged to the general government function .

The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority participates in a retirement plan administered by the State of Georgia dependent upon employee eligibility: Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia (the System) . This system issues a separate, publicly available financial report that includes the applicable financial statements and required supplementary information . The report may be obtained by visiting the following website:

Employees’ Retirement System - www .ers .ga .gov

The significant provisions of this retirement plan are described below . More detailed information can be found in the plan agreement and related legislation . The plan, including benefit and contribution provisions, was established and can be amended by State law .

Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia

The System is comprised of individual retirement systems and plans covering substantially all employees of the State of Georgia except for teachers and other employees covered by the Teachers Retirement System . One of the plans within the System, the Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia Plan (ERS), is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was established by the Georgia General Assembly during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State and its political subdivisions . ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees and has the powers and privileges of a corporation . ERS acts pursuant to statutory direction and guidelines, which may be amended prospectively for new hires but for existing members and beneficiaries may be amended in some aspects only subject to potential application of certain constitutional restraints against impairment of

contract . Title 47 of the OCGA assigns the responsibility to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature .

The benefit structure of ERS is established by the Board of Trustees under statutory guidelines under three benefit tiers: Old Plan, New Plan, and Georgia State Employees’ Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS) . Unless the employee elects otherwise, an employee who currently maintains membership with ERS based upon State employment that started prior to July 1, 1982, is an “old plan” member subject to the plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982 . Members hired on or after July 1, 1982, but prior to January 1, 2009, are “new plan” members subject to the modified plan provisions . Effective January 1, 2009, newly hired State employees, as well as rehired State employees who did not maintain eligibility for the “old” or “new” plan, are members of the GSEPS . Members of the GSEPS plan may also participate in the GSEPS 401(k) defined contribution component described below . ERS members hired prior to January 1, 2009, also have the option to irrevocably change their membership to the GSEPS plan .

Under the old plan, new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60 or 30 years of creditable service regardless of age . Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service for members under age 60 .

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula adopted by the Board of Trustees for such purpose . The formula considers the monthly average of the member’s highest 24 consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member’s age at retirement . Annually, postretirement cost-of-living adjustments may be made to members’ benefits provided the members were hired prior to July 1, 2009 . The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member’s monthly pension, at reduced rates, to a designated beneficiary upon the member’s death . Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS .

Member contribution rates are set by law . Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation up to $4,200 plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200 . Under the old plan, the Authority pays member contributions in excess of 1 .25% of annual compensation . Under the old plan, these Authority contributions are included in the members’ accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members’ earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits . Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1 .25% of annual compensation . The Authority is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll established by the Board of Trustees and determined annually in accordance with an actuarial valuation and minimum funding standards as provided by law . These Authority contributions are not at any time refundable to the member or his/her beneficiary .

Members become vested after 10 years of service . Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member . However, if an otherwise vested

The Authority’s contractually required contribution rate, actuarially determined annually, for the year ended June 30, 2015 was 21 .96% of annual covered payroll for old and new plan members and 18 .87% for GSEPS members . The Authority’s contributions to ERS totaled $679,724 for the year ended June 30, 2015 . Contributions are expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability .

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions

Effective July 1, 2014, the Authority implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No . 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, which significantly changed the Authority’s accounting for pension amounts . The information disclosed below is presented in accordance with this new standard .

At June 30, 2015, the Authority reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability in the amount of $4,582,430 . The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2014 . The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 . An expected total pension liability as of June 30, 2014 was determined using standard roll-forward techniques . The Authority’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on contributions to ERS during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 . At June 30 2014, the Authority’s proportion was 0 .122178%, which was a decrease of .00045% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2013 .

For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Authority recognized pension expense of $271,447 . At June 30, 2015, the Authority reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

Authority contributions subsequent to the measurement date of $679,724 are reported as deferred outflows of resources and will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2016 . Other amounts reported as deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows:

Actuarial assumptions: The total pension liability as of June 30, 2014 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 3 .00% Salary increases 5 .45 – 9 .25%, including inflation Investment rate of return 7 .50%, net of pension plan investment

expense, including inflation

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for the periods after service retirement, for dependent beneficiaries, and for deaths in active service, and the RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table set back eleven years for males for the period after disability retirement . The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2004 – June 30, 2009 .

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected nominal returns, net of pension plan investment expense and the assumed rate of inflation) are developed for each major asset class . These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation . The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7 .50 % . The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that Authority and State of Georgia contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate . Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members . Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability .

Sensitivity of the Authority’s proportionate share of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate: The following presents the Authority’s proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7 .50 %, as well as what the Authority’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6 .50 %) or 1-percentage-point higher (8 .50 %) than the current rate:

Pension plan fiduciary net position: Detailed information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued ERS financial report which is publically available at www .ers .ga .gov/formspubs/formspubs .

The Authority had $57,263 payable to the pension plan as of June 30, 2015 .

GSEPS 401(k) Defined Contribution Component of ERS

In addition to the ERS defined benefit pension described above, GSEPS members may also participate in the Peach State Reserves 401(k) defined contribution plan and receive an employer matching contribution . The 401(k) plan is administered by the System and was established by the Georgia Employee Benefit Plan Council in accordance with State law and Section 401(k) of the IRC . The GSEPS segment of the 401(k) plan was established by State law effective January 1, 2009 . Plan provisions and contribution requirements specific to GSEPS can be amended by State law . Other general 401(k) plan provisions can be amended by the ERS Board of Trustees as required by changes in federal tax law or for administrative purposes . The State was not required to make significant contributions to the 401(k) plan prior to GSEPS because most members under other segments of the plan either were not State employees or were not eligible to receive an employer match on their contributions .

The GSEPS plan includes automatic enrollment in the 401(k) plan at a contribution rate of 1% of salary, along with a matching contribution from the State . The State will match 100% of the employee’s initial 1% contribution . Employees can elect to contribute up to an additional 4% and the State will match 50% of the additional 4% of salary . Therefore, the State will match 3% against the employee’s 5% total savings . Employee contributions greater than 5% of salary do not receive any matching funds .

GSEPS employer contributions are subject to a vesting schedule, which determines eligibility to receive all or a portion of the employer contribution balance at the time of any distribution from the account after separation from all State service . Vesting is determined based on the following schedule:

Less than 1 year 0% 1 year 20% 2 years 40% 3 years 60% 4 years 80% 5 or more years 100%

Employee contributions and earnings thereon are 100% vested at all times . The 401(k) plan also allows participants to roll over amounts from other qualified plans to their respective account in the 401(k) plan on approval of the 401(k) plan administrator . Such rollovers are 100% vested at the time of transfer . Participant contributions are invested according to the participant’s investment election . If the participant does not make an election, investments are automatically defaulted to a Lifecycle fund based on the participant’s date of birth .

The participants may receive the value of their vested accounts upon attaining age 59 .5, qualifying financial hardship, or retirement or other termination of service (employer contribution balances are only eligible for distribution upon separation from service) . Upon the death of a participant, his or her beneficiary shall be entitled to the vested value of his or her accounts . Distributions are made in installments or in a lump sum .

The Authority’s employer and employee GSEPS contributions were as follows:

June 30, 2015

The Authority participates in the following State of Georgia other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans:

Administered by Department of Community Health (DCH): Georgia State Employees Post-employment Health Benefit Fund (State OPEB Fund)

Administered by the System: State Employees’ Assurance Department (SEAD) – For retired and vested inactive (SEAD-OPEB) – For active employees (SEAD-Active)

Georgia State Employees Post-employment Health Benefit Fund (State OPEB Fund)The State OPEB Fund is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan and is reported as an employee benefit trust fund .

The State OPEB Fund provides postemployment health benefits (including benefits to qualified beneficiaries of eligible former employees) due under the group health plan for employees of State organizations (including technical colleges) and other entities authorized by law to contract with DCH for inclusion in the plan . It also pays administrative expenses of the fund . By law, no other use of the assets of the State OPEB Fund is permitted .

The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the group health plans, including benefits for retirees, to the Board of Community Health (Board) .

The plan is currently funded on a pay-as-you go basis . That is, annual costs of providing benefits will be financed in the same year as claims occur, with no significant assets accumulating as would occur in an advance funding strategy .

The contribution requirements of plan members and participating employers are established by the Board in accordance with the current Appropriations Act and may be amended by the Board . Contributions of plan members or beneficiaries receiving benefits vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election . As of January 1, 2012, for members with fewer than five years of service, contributions also vary based on years of service . As of January 1, 2012, on average, members with five years or more of service pay approximately 25% of the cost of the health insurance coverage . In accordance with the Board resolution dated December 8, 2011, for members with fewer than five years of service as of January 1, 2012, the State provides a premium subsidy in retirement that ranges from 0% for fewer than 10 years of service to 75% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to active employees) for 30 or more years of service . The subsidy for eligible dependents ranges from 0% to 55%

(but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to dependents of active employees minus 20%) . No subsidy is available to Medicare eligible members not enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Option . The Board sets all member premiums by resolution and in accordance with the law and applicable revenue and expense projections . Any subsidy policy adopted by the Board may be changed at any time by Board resolution and does not constitute a contract or promise of any amount of subsidy .

Participating employers, including but not limited to State organizations, are statutorily required to contribute in accordance with the employer contribution rates established by the Board . The contribution rates are established to fund all benefits due under the health insurance plans for both active and retired employees based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements . Contributions are not based on the actuarially calculated annual required contribution (ARC) which 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 30 years .

The combined required contribution rates established by the Board for the active and retiree plans for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, were as follows:

No additional contribution was required by the Board for fiscal year 2015 nor contributed to the State OPEB Fund to prefund retiree benefits . Such additional contribution amounts are determined annually by the Board in accordance with the State plan for OPEB and are subject to appropriation .

The following table summarizes the Authority’s combined active and retiree contributions to the health insurance plans for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013:

eligible members of the ERS, Georgia Judicial Retirement System (JRS), and Legislative Retirement System (LRS) . SEAD-OPEB provides benefits for retired and vested inactive members, and SEAD-Active provides benefits for active members . Effective July 1, 2009, no newly hired members of any State public retirement system are eligible for term life insurance under SEAD . Pursuant to Title 47 of the OCGA, benefit provisions of the plans were established and can be amended by State statute .

Contributions by plan members are established by the ERS Board of Trustees, up to the maximum allowed by statute (not to exceed 0 .5% of earnable compensation) . The ERS Board of Trustees establishes employer contribution rates, such rates which, when added to members’ contributions, shall not exceed 1% of earnable compensation . Contributions for fiscal year 2015 were based on June 30, 2012, actuarial valuations as follows:

SEAD- SEAD- Total

OPEB Active SEAD

Member Rates:

ERS Old Plan 0 .45% 0 .05% 0 .50%

Less: Offset Paid by Employer (0 .22% ) (0 .03% ) (0 .25% )

Net ERS Old Plan 0 .23% 0 .02% 0 .25%

ERS New Plan, JRS, and LRS 0 .23% 0 .02% 0 .25%

Employer Rates 0 .00% 0 .00% 0 .00%

The ERS Board of Trustees voted and approved that the SEAD-OPEB contribution would be paid from existing assets of the Survivors Benefit Fund (SBF) instead of requiring payment by the employers . The contributions by SBF made on-behalf of the Authority for fiscal years 2013 were estimated to be $6 .0 thousand . There were no required employer contributions for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 .

According to the policy terms covering the lives of members, insurance coverage is provided on a monthly, renewable term basis, and no return premiums or cash value are earned . The assets represent the excess accumulation of investment income and premiums over benefit payments and expenses and are held as a reserve for payment of death benefits under existing policies .

For SEAD-Active the amount of insurance coverage is equal to 18 times monthly earnable compensation frozen at age 60 . For members with no creditable service prior to April 1, 1964, the amount decreases from age 60 by a half of 1% per month until age 65 at which point the member will be covered for 70% of the age 60 coverage . Life insurance proceeds are paid in lump sum to the beneficiary upon death of the member .

June 30, 2015

For SEAD-OPEB the amount of insurance for a retiree with creditable service prior to April 1, 1964, is the full amount of insurance under SEAD-Active in effect on the date of retirement . The amount of insurance for a service retiree with no creditable service prior to April 1, 1964, is 70% of the amount of insurance under SEAD-Active at age 60 or at termination, if earlier . Life insurance proceeds are paid in lump sum to the beneficiary upon death of the retiree .

The Authority is obligated under certain noncancelable operating leases for office space . The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments by year required under these leases as of June 30, 2015:

Total expenses for rental of office space for the year ended June 30, 2015 were $172,864 .

Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government . Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds . The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the Authority expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial .

The Authority reviews all outstanding claims and judgments to determine if any estimated liabilities should be accrued at year-end . Based on management’s past experience of the review of claims and judgments, it has been determined that there were no material claims and judgments outstanding at June 30, 2015 . In addition, management believes there were no material violations of finance-related legal or contractual provisions by the Authority during the current fiscal year .

The Authority restated ending net position as of June 30, 2014 by a reduction of $5,442,852 to implement GASB Statement No . 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – An Amendment of GASB

GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE AUTHORITY (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia)

Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

June 30, 2015  

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activity of all Federal financial assistance programs of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (the Authority) . The Authority receives pass-through financial assistance from the Georgia Department of Human Services .

The authoritative criteria for determining the programs, organizations, and functions of government included in the financial statements of the Authority are as follows: oversight responsibility, including selection of governing authority, designation of management, and ability to significantly influence operations; accountability for fiscal matters, including budget, surplus/deficit, debt, fiscal management, and revenue characteristics; scope of public services; and special financing relationships .

Based on above criteria, the State Energy Conservation Program, the Weatherization Assistance for Low-income Persons, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance, and State Revolving Funds are included in the Authority’s reporting entity .

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting . The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations . Due to differences in the recording of loan disbursements between the requirements, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements .

At June 30, 2015, the Authority had $641,068,645 in loans receivable outstanding, which were originally funded by the State Revolving Funds (Clean Water) Program and $115,040,095 in loans receivable outstanding, which were originally funded by the State Revolving Funds (Drinking Water) Program . Both amounts are inclusive of original funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and subsequently transferred to their respective base federal program .

Of the Federal expenditures presented in the Schedule, the Authority provided Federal awards to subrecipients as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S 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

The Members of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Atlanta, Georgia

We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (the “Authority”), a component unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated September 29, 2015. Our report includes a reference to the changes in accounting principle resulting from the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, and Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting (“internal control”) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances 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 Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority’s financial statements are free from 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 or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND REPORT ON

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133

The Members of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Atlanta, Georgia Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program

We have audited the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority’s (the “Authority”), a component unit of the State of Georgia, compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Authority’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2015. The Authority’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Authority’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Authority’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Authority’s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, the Authority complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance

Management of the Authority is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Authority’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
