Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Governors
The Florida Bar
Tallahassee, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the business-
type activities of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries (The Florida Bar) as of and for the
years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, which comprise The Florida Bar's basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of The Florida Bar's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the business-type activities of The Florida Bar
and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in financial position and
cash flows thereof for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
November 9, 2011, on our consideration of The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' internal
control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of
that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of
an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be
considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 7 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.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements that collectively comprise The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries' basic financial
statements. The supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, is presented for
the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial
statements of The Florida Bar. Such information is the responsibility of management and was
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The Florida Bar is the statewide professional and regulatory organization for lawyers with more
than 91,000 members. Headquartered in Tallahassee, The Florida Bar is a unified state bar by
rule of the Supreme Court of Florida. Membership in The Florida Bar is a necessary component of
Supreme Court of Florida regulation of all lawyers licensed to practice law in Florida (Article IV,
Section 15, Florida Constitution). The foundation for the organization is built on a philosophy of
equity and ethics. Through its programs and services, the Bar supports this philosophy with four
pillars that function as the mission of The Florida Bar: providing public service, protecting rights,
promoting professionalism and pursuing justice.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This annual report consists of three parts - management's discussion and analysis, the basic
consolidated financial statements, and an optional section that presents supplementary
information. The supplementary information includes consolidating statements and comparisons of
actual results to budgeted results. The basic consolidated financial statements present the
consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Florida Bar and its
subsidiaries. The Florida Bar performs tvvo overall activities as the statewide regulator of the
practice of law and the professional association of lawyers. Its activities are accounted for as a
proprietary type enterprise fund because it charges fees to provide its services similar to a
business enterprise.
The Statement of Net Assets includes all of The Florida Bar's assets and liabilities. The net assets
are the difference between The Florida Bar's assets and liabilities. The Statement of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets include all of The Florida Bar's revenues and expenses
regardless of when the cash is received or paid. The change in net assets is one way to measure
The Florida Bar's financial health or position. A Statement of Cash Flows provides additional
information regarding the change in The Florida Bar's cash position.
Summary of Operations
At June 30, 2011 and 2010, The Florida Bar had $71,075,955 and $64,135,939, respectively in
total assets. Of this amount $60,432,750 and $53,623,921 was held in cash and investments and
$9,555,406 and $7,564,589 was invested in capital assets at June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The primary liability at June 30, 2011 and 2010 was deferred revenue of $11,375,450
and $10,981,981, respectively, resulting from advance collection of member fees and prepayments
for Continuing Legal Education registrations. Our net assets were $51,783,307 and $44,428,657
at June 30,2011 and 2010, respectively.
These amounts are in line with the prior year's balances given the current changes in net assets.
The original operating budgets for the General Fund (excluding the wholly-owned subsidiary and
controlled entities) for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 approved by the Florida Supreme
Court, planned on an increase in net assets of $ 340,381 and $21,760, respectively. After Board of
Governor amendments, the planned decrease became ($1,128, 194) and ($636,885), respectively.
See the Independent Auditors' Report.
- 3-
General Fund actual operations resulted in a change in net assets of $8,481,783 and $6,489,783,
respectively. The increase in net assets for both years resulted primarily from the effects of a
favorable investment climate. Included in the supplemental information is an actual to budget
comparison for each department.
For the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, The Florida Bar's budget funded most departments at
a continuation level.

Presently, The Florida Bar has no plans to significantly alter its investment in capital assets
other than to continue to add costs of developed software.
Future Financial Plan
The Florida Bar was created by the Supreme Court of Florida to assist the Supreme Court in
regulating the practice of law in Florida. The Florida Bar is primarily funded through payments
by lawyers of their required annual fees, sales of continuing education programs to lawyers, and
other fees for regulation of attorneys or sales of legal related products and services. There is no
plan to materially change these revenue streams for the next two years. Accordingly, there are
no present plans to materially increase the scope or nature of the services provided to the
citizens of Florida and the lawyers authorized to serve them.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basis ofAccounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they are eamed and
expenses are recognized when they are incurred. The measurement focus of proprietary fund
types is on a flow of economic resources method, which emphasizes the determination of net
income, financial position, and cash flow. All fund assets and liabilities, current and non-current,
are accounted for in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All demand deposit accounts and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less are reported as cash equivalents.
Investments
Investments are reported at fair values. Fair values for securities traded on national or intemational
exchanges or over-the-counter are valued at quoted market prices. Fair values of securities not
traded on an exchange or over-the-counter are estimated based on the net asset values provided
by the investee calculated in accordance with FASB Topic 946.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The value of software developed
for The Florida Bar's use includes all direct and indirect costs that are related to development
activities. The cost of capital assets is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, ranging from 5 to 40 years, using the straight-line method. When capital assets are retired
or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Revenues,
Expenses and Changes in Net Assets, in the period of disposal.
Claims Payable
The Florida Bar voluntarily created the Clients' Security Fund (the Fund) to provide possible
compensation to people who have suffered financial losses due to misappropriation of funds by
errant Florida Bar members. The Fund is financed by $25 of the annual fees due from each
Florida Bar member who is in good-standing (including inactive members). Claims payable
represent amounts that have been approved for payment from the Fund.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues consist primarily of membership fees collected in advance, prepaid advertising
and prepaid legal education courses.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Allocation of Expenses
The costs of providing the various programs, services, and other activities have been summarized
on a functional basis in the Consolidated Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net
Assets. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting
services benefited.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Florida Bar and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Florida Bar Building Corporation, and its other controlled entities,
Florida Lawyers Association for the Maintenance of Excellence, Inc., and The Florida Attorneys
Charitable Trust. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Income Taxes
The Florida Bar is an administrative agency of the Supreme Court and is not subject to federal or
state income tax. The Florida Bar Building Corporation, Florida Lawyers Association for the
Maintenance of Excellence, Inc., and The Florida Attorneys Charitable Trust have been granted
exemption from federal and state income taxes except on unrelated business income under
Sections 501 (c)(25), 501(c)(6), and 501 (c)(3), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration
The Florida Bar receives the majority of its revenue from lawyers licensed to practice in the State of
Florida.
Net Assets
Net assets are categorized as invested in capital assets, restricted for scholarships, and
undesignated. Invested in capital assets is intended to re'flect the portion of net assets that are
associated with non-liquid, capital assets. Restricted for scholarships consists of monies restricted
for the annual G. Kirk Haas fund scholarships. Undesignated assets consist of all other assets not
included in the previous categories.

NOTE 3 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are subject to custodial credit risk. Custodial credit risk is the risk that
in the event of a bank or other counterparty failure, The Florida Bar's cash and cash equivalents
may not be returned. The Florida Bar's policy with respect to custodial credit risk is that The Florida
Bar will only maintain demand deposit accounts with financial institutions in which management
believes the risk to be limited because the financial institutions are large with strong financial
positions.
Cash and cash equivalents are held at three financial institutions. The operating cash balance held
in demand deposit accounts was $6,054,449 and additional cash and money market funds was
$8,447,913 at June 30,2011. Operating cash in the amount of $5,804,686 was insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as of June 30, 2011 and $249,763 was uninsured.
The additional cash and money market funds are held at a financial institution insured by the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The SIPC provides up to $250,000 in coverage
for uninvested cash balances as of June 30,2011.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
Investment Objectives and Policies
Investments are made for the sole interest and exclusive purpose of providing investment
returns for The Florida Bar. The Florida Bar's investment objectives and policies are achieved
through a short-term account portfolio and a long-term account portfolio.
Investment guidelines for both portfolios are defined by written Investment Policies (the Policies)
approved by the Florida Bar's Board of Governors. The Policies establish diversified investment
strategies, both by types of investment and by manager, minimum credit qualities, and duration
limits. An Investment Committee has oversight, within Policy limits, to implement and direct the
investment strategies. The policies are reviewed at least annually for any adjustments required
due to changes or developments within the investment markets that may provide enhanced
investment and/or risk management opportunities, and recommendations for changes are
submitted for approval by the Board of Governors.
The purpose of the short-term portfolio is to provide for The Florida Bar's short-term working
capital needs. The short-term portfolio possesses a short-term time horizon (one to three years)
and within this horizon, the primary objectives are to preserve capital and provide liquidity for
short-term cash flow needs and to achieve attractive short-term yields consistent with
preservation of capital.
The purpose of the long-term investment portfolio is to provide for The Florida Bar's operating
needs and to fund The Florida Bar's programs both today and into the future. The long-term
portfolio possesses an intermediate to long-term horizon (five to seven years) and within this
horizon, the primary objectives are to provide long-term growth of capital and income. The
secondary objectives are high current income and liquidity.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Investment Objectives and Policies
The Policies require the risk adjusted returns of an investment over a full market cycle to rank in
the top 500/0 of universal comparisons with similar objectives and the investment should
outperform the target policy index. The Policies establish asset allocation guidelines with regard
to acceptable asset classes and prohibited investments, the overall targeted asset mix, and the
representative indices for each asset class. The asset allocation guidelines as compared to
actual investment balances were as follows as of June 30, 2011 :

The Florida Bar's investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as custodial credit
risk, interest rate risk, credit quality risk, foreign currency risk, concentration of credit risk, and
market conditions. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at
least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the
near term and that such changes could materially affect investment balances.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of the failure of the custodial entity, The Florida
Bar's deposits may not be returned to it. The Policies state that The Florida Bar will only hold
investment securities that are insured or registered and held by The Florida Bar, or its
designated agent, in the name of The Florida Bar. Investments held through its agent, Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney, LLC have Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) coverage up
to $500,000 per customer for cash and securities as of June 30, 2011 of which $250,000 may
be in uninvested cash. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC also has purchased "Excess SIPC"
protection above the SIPC limits. This excess coverage is subject to a firmwide cap for Morgan
Stanley of $1 billion with no per-client limit for securities and a $1.9 million per-client limit for the
cash portion of any remaining shortfall. Investments in PIMCO mutual funds are held by a third
party trust company.

..
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from investments in debt instruments and is defined as the risk that
changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Florida Bar's
investments in U.S. Treasuries, federal agencies, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and other
bonds are directly subject to interest rate risk. The interest rate risk is managed by requiring the
duration of the fixed income portfolio to average between plus or minus 200/0 of the duration of
the representative benchmark for the investment. As of June 30, 2011, The Florida Bar's debt
investments had the following maturities:
Investment Maturities (In Years)
Less than 1
June 3D, Fair Value Year 1 5 Years 5 10 Years Over 10 Years

Total investments $ 8,575,306 $ 419,584 $ 5,501,523 $ 2,181,991 $ 472,208
The Florida Bar is not directly subject to interest rate risk for its investment in mutual funds that
purchase debt instruments, as The Florida Bar is able to sell their interest in these mutual funds
at will (subject to potential redemption fees). At June 30, 2011, the weighted average life
reported by the mutual fund managers for the mutual funds invested in debt instruments was 2.7
to 6.8 years.
Credit Quality Risk
The Policies require investments in fixed income debt securities to meet an average quality
rating of A or higher for the long-term portfolio and M or higher for the short-term portfolio by
either Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch Investors Service at the time of purchase.
Investments in corporate holdings must be rated investment grade or better by either Standard
& Poor's, Moody's or Fitch Investors Service at the time of purchase. In the event a bond's
credit rating is downgraded to a level below investment grade by two of the three ratings
agencies, the Investment Manager must notify the Investment Committee and provide the
Committee with the Manager's outlook on the investment. The Investment Committee must
approve continuing to hold the downgraded investment. The Manager must regularly update
the committee on the downgraded investment's status.
- 18-
-.
As of June 30, 2011, The Florida Bar holds three corporate debt securities with a total market
value of $54,709 in the long term portfolio that have been downgraded below the investment
grade rating. The Investment Committee has approved continuing to hold these securities.

Because mutual funds are listed and valued as a whole, not individual holdings, information
about specific ratings cannot be obtained however the mutual funds do have exposure to non-
investment grade securities. Investments in mutual funds are with the understanding that the
investment policies stated in the mutual fund's prospectus supersedes the guidelines
established by The Florida Bar.
Foreign Currency Risk
Investments in international equity securities are limited to SEC-Registered, U.S. exchange
listed, U.S. dollar-denominated securities in foreign domiciled issuers. Investments in
international debt securities are limited to SEC-registered, U.S. dollar-denominated, U.S.
government backed securities issued by foreign governments. The Florida Bar invests in
international securities through American Depository Receipts (ADRs). ADRs represent
investments in shares of foreign companies traded on the U.S. financial markets and are
denominated in U.S. dollars and, thus, are not exposed to foreign currency risk. Investments in
foreign currency-denominated government bonds, any type of foreign corporate bond, or any
- 19-
other type of foreign currency are not allowed. Securities of foreign companies traded on
foreign stock exchanges may be purchased only with the written permission of The Florida Bar's
Investment Committee. Additionally, the investment policies approve the use of mutual funds,
which may include foreign securities, with the understanding that the investment policies stated
in the mutual fund's prospectus supersede the guidelines set forth in The Florida Bar's
investment policy.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Investment Policies require investments to be diversified such that there is not an undue
concentration in a single industry sector except for its Concentrated Portfolios. Investments in
equity securities are subject to a maximum 50/0 commitment at cost and 10
%
weighting at
market of the account's total market value for any individual security or single issuer.
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to no more than 5
%
of the account's market
value invested in a single issue (at cost) or in direct obligations of a single issuer (at market)
with the exception of the U.S. Government and its agencies so long as any such government or
agency issue shall be backed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. In addition,
no more than 150/0 of the fixed income securities may be invested in mortgage backed or asset
backed securities of a single issuer, with the exception of those issued by the U.S. Government,
its agencies, or its sponsored agencies.
Investments in cash and cash equivalents are limited to no more than 100/0 of the account's
market value in a single issue (at cost), with the exception of issues backed by the U.S.
Government and its agencies and diversified money market funds.
Derivative Instruments
As of June 30, 2011, the Florida Bar's investment policy states that investments in options,
derivatives and financial futures are prohibited in separately managed accounts other than its
Alternative Investment assets. Additionally, the investment policy approves the use of mutual
funds, which may include derivative instruments, with the understanding that the investment
policies stated in the mutual fund's prospectus supersede the guidelines set forth in The Florida
Bar's investment policy.

and are currently made for all eligible employees employed on December 31 based on a
formula which was 15% of covered compensation for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and 4.30/0 on covered compensation exceeding 80% of the Social Security wage

contributions. The plan has been amended to comply with all applicable Federal tax laYJ5. The
pension contribution made equaled the contribution required during the years ended June 30,
2011 and 2010 for the Plan years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and was $2,236,636
and $2,133,962, respectively.

Funded Status and Funding Progress. As of January 1, 2010, the most recent actuarial
valuation date, the plan was 82% funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was
calculatedto be$1,584,797andtheactuarialvalueoftheassetswas$1,293,906, resulting ina
fundingdeficitof$290,891. Thecovered payroll(annual payrollofactiveemployeescovered by
the plan) was $14,557,008, and the ratio ofthe unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL) to
thecoveredpayrollwas2.00%.
Actuarial valuationsofan ongoing plan involveestimatesofthevalue ofreported amountsand

methods and assumptions used include techniques thatare designed to reduce the effects of
short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value ofassets, consistent

NOTE 12 - CONTINGENCIES
The Florida Bar is involved in several actions as defendant and/or co-defendant. The majority
of the actions are expected to be settled with little or no financial impact to The Florida Bar. An
accurate assessment of any significant liability is not determinable although management of The
Florida Bar believes that the possibility of any significant liability arising from current litigation is
extremely remote.
NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS
The Florida Bar has contracted with various hotels or convention centers to reserve facilities,
rooms, and food and beverage services for various meetings and seminars to be held through
fiscal year 2015. If The Florida Bar should choose to cancel the contracts, liquidating damages
would be due to the hotels or convention centers. Generally, liquidating damages are
graduated based on the time between cancellation and the scheduled arrival date of the
meeting and are calculated based on a percentage of anticipated revenues by the particular
hotel or convention center.
The following is a schedule of estimated liquidating damages that The Florida Bar would incur
should they cancel all the contracts as of June 30, 2011:

Board of Governors
The Florida Bar
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether The Florida Bar and Subsidiaries'
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our
audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Governors and
management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
