Ten year trend information for revenues by source and expenses by type is not readily available prior to June
30, 1992.

Post Retirement Benefits:

The State also provides, in accordance with State Merit System Laws, postemployment health care benefits to
retired employees and their dependents (generally employees who retired before July 1, 1984, employees who
retired on or after July 1, 1984, with at least 5 years of creditable service and employees who receive disability
retirement allowances or special death benefits). The State subsidizes approximately 50% to 90% of covered
medical and hospitalization costs, depending on the type of insurance plan. The State assesses a surcharge for
postemployment health care benefits which is based on health care insurance charges for current employees.
During fiscal year 1995 these benefits amounted to $46,173,575. There are 21,972 participants currently eligible to
receive benefits.

16. Deferred Compensation Plan (Plan):

The State offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue
Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all State employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until
future years. Participation in the plan is optional. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until
termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan,
all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or
rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the
State subject only to the claims of the government's general creditors. Participants' rights under the Plan are equal
to those of general creditors of the State in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for
each participant. The Plan is accounted for as an Agency Fund.

It is the opinion of the State's legal counsel that the State has no liability for losses under the Plan but does
have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The State believes that it is
unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.

Investments are managed by the Plan's independent trustee under one of several investment options, or a
combination thereof. The choice of the investment option(s) is made by the participants.
