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 an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. 200 GALLERIA PARKWAY S.E., SUITE 1700 • ATLANTA, GA 30339-5946 • 770-955-8600 • 800-277-0080 • FAX 770-980-4489 • www.mjcpa.com Members of The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants • RSM International We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Georgia Lottery Corporation as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability, and Schedule of Contributions on pages 3 through 16, 39, and 40, 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. Atlanta, Georgia October 14, 2016 - 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis As management of the Georgia Lottery Corporation (the “GLC”), we offer readers of the GLC’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the financial statements, which begin on page 17. Financial Highlights The GLC had a record year of sales and profits in fiscal year 2016. Gross ticket sales were $ 4.556 billion in fiscal year 2016. For the 2015 fiscal year, gross ticket sales were $ 4.195 billion. For fiscal year 2016, the net proceeds paid to the Lottery for Education Account were $1.098 billion. The net proceeds paid to the Lottery for Education represent an increase of $117.1 million as compared to the prior year. For fiscal year 2015 net proceeds paid were $980.5 million, which represented an increase of $35.4 million over fiscal year 2014. Other significant financial highlights include the following: For fiscal year 2016, gross tickets sales increased by $360.7 million, an 8.6 % increase as compared to 2015. For fiscal year 2015, gross tickets sales increased by $173.0 million, a 4.3 % increase as compared to 2014. Prize expense increased $216.7 million, or 8.6% during fiscal year 2016 and $115.0 million, or 4.8% in fiscal year 2015. This expense usually increases or decreases in direct proportion to ticket sales and represented approximately 60% of gross ticket sales in fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Direct gaming expenses, which include retailer commissions, contractor fees, advertising, retailer merchandising and marketing, and gaming equipment increased $34.6 million in fiscal year 2016, from $374.3 million to $408.9 million. These expenses also fluctuate in proportion to ticket sales and represented approximately 9.0% of gross ticket sales in 2016. For fiscal year 2015, direct gaming expenses increased $17.9 million above 2014. These expenses represented approximately 8.9% of gross ticket sales in 2015. Fiscal year 2016 operating expenses increased $5.9 million above 2015 expenses, from $41.4 million to $47.3 million. Fiscal year 2015 operating expenses increased $4.1 million as compared to fiscal year 2014, from $37.4 million to $41.4 million. Operating expenses remained at approximately 1% of gross ticket sales for fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Nonoperating expenses, net of revenues, increased $106.9 million in 2016 as compared to 2015. This increase is attributable to the increase in payments due to Lottery for Education Account over the prior fiscal year, offset by the change in the fair value of grand prize investments held by the GLC for funding future grand prize payments, and a slight increase in interest revenue. Nonoperating expenses, net of revenues, increased $32.2 million in 2015 as compared to 2014. This increase is attributable to the increase in payments due to Lottery for Education Account over the prior fiscal year, offset by the change in the fair value of grand prize investments held by the GLC for funding future grand prize payments, and a slight decrease in interest revenue. COAM contributed $47.1 million in revenues from centralized monitoring operations, licensing fees, fines, and penalties in fiscal year 2016, an increase of $31.9 million or 208.5% over 2015. COAM returned $33.4 million to the Lottery for Education Account, an increase of $24.4 million over 2015 or 271.2%. COAM contributed $15.3 million in revenues from centralized monitoring operations, licensing fees, fines, and penalties in fiscal year 2015 and returned $10.9 million to the Lottery for Education Account, including $1.9 million in retained earnings held from 2014. - 3 - Overview of the Financial Statements The GLC is accounted for as an enterprise fund, reporting transactions using the accrual basis of accounting similar to a business entity. This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the GLC’s basic financial statements, along with the notes to the financial statements. The statements of net position on page 17, the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position on page 18, and the statements of cash flows on pages 19 and 20 report the GLC’s net position and changes therein. The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements begin on page 21 of this report. The GLC pays its net proceeds each fiscal year to the General Fund of the state treasury for credit to the Lottery for Education Account. As a result, the GLC’s net position consist of funds invested in capital assets and unrestricted net position. Unrestricted net position normally results from the inclusion of capital costs in the determination of net proceeds (as required by the Georgia Lottery for Education Act), COAM retained earnings, and the cumulative effect of periodic adjustments to recognize the fair value of grand prize investments which are held to fund future grand prizes payments.
