Chair’s MessageOn behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like toacknowledge and thank our exceptional <strong>Anatolia</strong> employeesas we celebrate <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s extraordinary andexemplary 125 years of educational service this year.In what has been (and continues to be) a very challengingand dispiriting economic environment in Greeceand elsewhere, the commitment of our faculty at alllevels to our students, to excellence in the classroom,on campus and in the community, and their promotionof community service and global citizenship hasnot diminished, but has become markedly stronger.Our non-academic staff – buildings and grounds, secretarial,financial and administrative – have broughtour beautiful campus to a higher level of functionalityand order while continuing to improve the critical infrastructurewhich supports our students and teachersin the classroom.Our leaders on campus, the President and his cabinetand our deans, have worked together effectivelyto bring more for less to our students in a year whennearly everything is in flux, and fluctuating continuously,all while the view beyond the horizon remainsunclear at best, or tumultuous at worst.Our alumni and their respective associations have comeforward with exceptional support and assistance as this125th year begins, and it is clear that without their intellectual,creative and financial help for over a century<strong>Anatolia</strong> would not be the model educational institutionit is today. Thank you for your leadership, your supportand your increasing assistance of all kinds to <strong>Anatolia</strong>.Your backing will enable us to continue building an institutionwhich will be the pride of your children, yourgrandchildren, and their progeny. The <strong>College</strong> has takensignificant forward strides in recent years, and we owe itto those who preceded us and gave us this gem to polishthat we constantly seek to improve every facet of itfor those who will follow us.As one of our alumni wrote me early in October:“I went to Thessaloniki for a day and on a whim decidedto visit <strong>Anatolia</strong>. The weather was perfect, the campuseven more beautiful than my last visit, everything wasjust perfect. Amidst turmoil it was serene, picturesqueand a beacon of stability. <strong>Anatolia</strong> is something reallyto be proud of.”I hope a visitor 125 years from now will say the same.I am confident that I speak for every member of <strong>Anatolia</strong>’sboard in saying that it is an honor and a privilegeto be a member of the <strong>Anatolia</strong> family serving your childrenand grandchildren. As good as <strong>Anatolia</strong> is today,we all want and expect it to be even better tomorrow.We commit ourselves to that goal, and with your helpand support we will undertake to meet all the challengesthat lie ahead so that we can attain it.Sincerely yours,John H. ClymerChair of the Board of Trustees05.


Message from the Vice Presidentof Institutional AdvancementThis year marks the 125th Anniversary of <strong>Anatolia</strong> <strong>College</strong> offeringus an opportunity to reflect on its evolution into a comprehensiveeducational institution serving nearly 2,300 pupilsand students from kindergarten through post-graduate level.As is evident by <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s history, the school has weatheredmany challenges, both political and economic, only to emergeeven stronger and more energized than before.Today, <strong>Anatolia</strong> embodies the ideals espoused by its foundersto offer a high-quality, progressive educational experiencethat strives to produce civic-minded young adults who becomeresponsible and contributing members of society.The growth of <strong>Anatolia</strong> has been enhanced by the substantialgifts of its alumni, parents and friends whose donations havebeen transformed into new buildings, athletic facilities, labs andtechnology centers and, of course, scholarships. The awardingof scholarships to gifted students of limited financial resourcesis a long-standing tradition at <strong>Anatolia</strong>. It will continue to inspireand serve as one of the main focus points of giving for currentand potential donors.During the previous fiscal year, <strong>Anatolia</strong> was the recipient ofcontinued support from its primary constituents and for thatwe are extremely grateful. Total giving for the fiscal year endingJune 30,<strong>2011</strong> was $966,352, a nominal reduction taking into accountthe challenging economic environment. The proportionalgiving by donor groups are as follows: Alumni & the AlumniAssociation (28%), Trustees (21%), Organizations (18%), Friends& Supporters (14%), Corporates (11%), Foundations (8%).Looking back at the school year, it’s obvious that the poor economicconditions in Greece negatively affected many familiesand forced them to make agonizing financial decisions. Duringthese difficult times, <strong>Anatolia</strong> continues to allocate moreresources in the form of scholarships, financial and merit aid tohelp students and families affected by financial hardship.Scholarships remain a cornerstone of <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s mission anda principle to which the Trustees remain deeply committed asis evident by the endowment spending dedicated to fund thisinitiative. This year, in addition to financial and merit aid providedto 137 students, there were 94 students attending on fullscholarships of which 61 are funded by the endowment and33 by private individuals and organizations including Trustees,Leonidas Evangelidis and Kitty Kyriacopoulos, as well as the<strong>Anatolia</strong> Alumni Association of Athens, the parents associationof <strong>Anatolia</strong> High School and the staff of <strong>Anatolia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.I would like to highlight a major milestone that was reachedthis past year as one of our patriarchal Trustees, Dr. StavrosConstantinidis, completed his 55th scholarship - a resoundingtestament to his devotion to his alma mater.This year also marked a new pledge by the prestigious John S.Latsis Public Benefit Foundation to sponsor a full six-year scholarshipfor a student at <strong>Anatolia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. In addition, the Foundationcontributed funds to our general scholarship program.Another noteworthy pledge came from Eurobank Private Bankingas they graciously committed to one additional scholarshipfor <strong>Anatolia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.A further landmark reached this year was the introduction ofthe 125th Anniversary Matching Annual Fund first launched inGreece and subsequently in the U.S. The premise behind thisinitiative is to introduce the concept of annual giving to ourGreek alumni in support of the mission and goals of <strong>Anatolia</strong><strong>College</strong>. We asked each alumnus to donate €125 in honor ofthe 125 years since the founding of <strong>Anatolia</strong>. As of today, wehave reached over half of our original goal of €80.000 Euros.The Trustees have taken a leading role in this initiative by gen-06.


erously offering to match our targeted goal thus, doubling theexpected amount raised under this program to €160.000.It is clear that the Trustees of <strong>Anatolia</strong> take their fiduciary responsibilitiesvery seriously and represent one of our strongergroups of supporters as demonstrated by their personal commitmentof both energy and time and their financial support.At the beginning of the academic year, the PapageorgiouFoundation made a very generous donation to the <strong>Anatolia</strong>Scholarship Program and with the financial assistance of Markosand Alexandra Papageorgiou, provided interactive projectorsfor all class rooms at the elementary school building on thelower campus.The <strong>Anatolia</strong> Elementary School Parents Association has consistentlydemonstrated their enthusiastic commitment to addressingthe needs of the school and its students. This year isno exception. The Association provided the resources for twogazebos that offer the students shade during their recess anda new meeting point where they can enjoy their lunch breaks.The Parents Association also donated the theater lighting in theactivity hall of the lower campus building.I also want to acknowledge the magnanimous gesture ofthe <strong>Anatolia</strong> Alumni Association as they underwrote the entire€90.000 required to rebuild the “A-Side” soccer field on the highschool campus. This was a long-awaited project that the Associationadopted and worked hard to make a reality.The <strong>Anatolia</strong> Alumni Association of Athens continued the longtradition of giving by continuing their sponsorship of a boardingstudent scholarship in addition to their generous contributionsof €6,000 to the 125th Anniversary Fund.I would also like acknowledge our alumna, Ms. Stella Gogou-Papadopoulou, for her enthusiastic support of Past PresidentWilliam McGrew’s project to digitally archive the important historicalartifacts of <strong>Anatolia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.After several years of absence, the U.S. Government, throughthe USAID program, awarded <strong>Anatolia</strong> a grant of $250.000 toupgrade the technical infrastructure of each high school classroom.This initiative has supplied each classroom with advancedinstructional technology modalities that provide teachers withstate-of-the-art tools which greatly enhance our students’learning experience.Finally, one of the most important examples of philanthropyand commitment comes from the Student Council of the “B-Side” Gymnasium as they consistently make significant contributionsto the school’s scholarship and facilities initiatives,demonstrating early on their commitment and support of ourmission. Their efforts raised a relatively large amount of moneyto support the general scholarship program.This past year has proven to be an extremely challenging onefor the Institutional Advancement team given the dire conditionof the Greek economy and the halting recovery currently underwayin the U.S. Our core donor base finds itself in uncharteredwaters, as it operates in a volatile environment full of unforeseenand novel challenges. As such, the reduction of our donorbase’s philanthropic activity has impacted our efforts to expandour development initiatives. Despite this negative climate, <strong>Anatolia</strong>has the distinct fortune of having strong and enthusiasticconstituents who remain committed to their generous supportof our school’s operational needs.In closing I would like to thank all our donors who, throughtheir giving, express support and confidence in our deservinginstitution. It is only through their help that <strong>Anatolia</strong> can maintainthe quality of its premier educational experience.As our program needs increase and the cost of providing an<strong>Anatolia</strong> education continues to rise, sound stewardship of<strong>Anatolia</strong>’s resources compels us to provide the financial assistancenecessary to deserving students; accordingly, we will seekyour continued support in the future.Peter ChresanthakesVice President of Institutional Advancement07.

Financial Highlights <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong>OPERATING ENVIRONMENTDuring the first eight years of the last decade, the Greekeconomy was reportedly among the fastest growing economiesin the euro zone with continuous and relatively significantrates of growth, displaying results well above the EuropeanUnion average.In fall 2009, the Greek government re-stated its national fiscalaccounts and statistics negatively, following the recommendationof the European Statistical Agency (EUROSTAT).As a result, the national deficit was revised for the second timefrom 13.6 % to 15.6% of GDP, making it one of the highestdeficit rates in the world. As a result, all rating agencies downgradedGreek bonds to “junk” status, thus disallowing thefunding of Greek debt from international money markets.In spring <strong>2010</strong>, a loan agreement of EUR 110 billion wasagreed to between Greece, the other euro zone countries,and the IMF (hereafter the “TROIKA”). In exchange for thisloan facilitation, the Greek government agreed to impose anumber of austerity measures – including salary cuts for publicsector employees, changes in legislation regarding layoffsand overtime pay, extraordinary taxes, value-added taxincreases in addition to other devices. These measures wereintended to reduce Greece’s primary deficit and restore investors’confidence so that the country could access capitalmarkets once again in 2013.In the period between October <strong>2010</strong> and <strong>2011</strong>, a series of additionalausterity measures were implemented by the Greekstate. While virtually all deficit ratios have been improved infiscal year <strong>2010</strong>, revenue targets were missed primarily dueto greater contraction of the economy than anticipated resultingin lower tax receipts, placing Greece in a challengingnegative fiscal position.Following this adverse development, the TROIKA and Greeceagreed in July <strong>2011</strong> to a second bailout loan to finance cashneeds through 2013. Furthermore, a Private Sector Involvementprogram (PSI) was proposed to private creditors, includingdebt exchange which would extend maturities of Greekbonds by 30 years, lowering interest rates and producing onaverage a 21% haircut on Greek sovereign bonds maturingbetween now and 2020.20.


Having already received five tranches, or a series ofloan payments, on the first loan amount, Greece’s nationalaccounts are currently under audit by the Troikafor approval of the release of the sixth tranche. Followingthe preliminary results of the audit, there aresignificant concerns associated with the continuanceof the program funding, given that the auditors havediscovered many instances in which the Greek statehas not met deadlines or ‘agreed to’ commitments.To meet the tougher conditions set by the Troika, theGreek government announced another set of measuressuch as an additional personal property and incometaxation. Taxpayers will pay these amounts overand above their regular annual contributions for thenext two years. In addition, new salary cuts to publicsector employees will be applied, driving private consumptionto exceptionally low levels and increase thelevel of uncertainty.Developments relating to government debt levels in otherEuropean countries such as Italy, Portugal and Spain are alsocritical for understanding the impact of the crisis. There arequestions as to whether the banking system will be able tosurvive, not just in Greece but in other EU countries that aresignificant holders of Greek bonds. Accordingly, there aresubstantial efforts underway in the EU now to make sure thatthe banks not only in Greece, but in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland,and France are not negatively affected by what happenshere. There is deep concern about a chain reaction of financialevents that could throw the world’s financial system intoa negative tailspin. Among various potential scenarios, themost likely one according to many analysts is that Greece willdefault on its national debt in an orderly manner. This wouldmost likely be implemented through an adjustment of thePSI program by increasing the debt haircut to a substantiallyhigher level.21.


Financial Highlights <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong>ANATOLIA’S POSITION IN THE MIDST OF THE CRISISGiven this situation, it is something of a wonder that <strong>Anatolia</strong>’sacademic and extra-curricular operations were notsignificantly affected by the Greek crisis in fiscal year <strong>2011</strong>.Nevertheless, there are on-going concerns that as Greekfamilies’ financial resources become more depleted; theirability to pay tuition fees at institutions such as <strong>Anatolia</strong>will also diminish. During academic year <strong>2010</strong>-11, <strong>Anatolia</strong>collected 99 percent of its charged tuition across allthree academic divisions. <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s financial strength inthe future will largely be a function of its ability to sustainreceipt of charged tuition at rates near 100%. Based onthe key data indicators for the Financial Year ended June30, <strong>2011</strong> as well as the preliminary numbers for fiscal <strong>2011</strong>– 2012, <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s position on this index is far better thanall other comparable educational institutions in NorthernGreece.Enrollment rates in all three academic divisions also havebeen stable in comparison with prior years, especiallyconsidering that the benchmark rate for other private institutionsis negative 15% - 20% over the last two years. Asnoted above, tuition collection rates have remained high,providing an overall stable cash flow position.In early spring <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>Anatolia</strong> acted proactively with theimplementation of a three-year financial action plan reviewedby both its Finance and Audit Committees. Theaction plan included ‘realized savings’ of approximately$780,000 USD for fiscal <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong>, focusing on actionssuch as a one-year suspension of social contributionssubsidization, the renegotiation of contractual agreements,and the reduction of various budgeted expenses– most of which have already been materialized.Finally, the President and <strong>Anatolia</strong> management teamare working closely with all of the Trustee Committees ina precautionary manner, striving to safeguard the institution’sfuture with proactive strategies designed to achievethe institution’s mission-related goals within the scope ofavailable financial resources.Pavlos FlorosVice president for Finance& CFOSUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTSThe condensed consolidated financial statements are presentedon the accrual basis of accounting in accordancewith accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America (US GAAP).

Inaddition “Funds held in trust by others” have also increasedby $ 0.5 million.the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. The primarydesignated purpose of our endowment is to providefunding for the financial aid program of the institution and tosupport library and other educational needs.<strong>Anatolia</strong>’s endowment consists of more than 80 individualfunds established for a variety of purposes including bothdonor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated byThe following graph illustrates <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s endowment investment annual returns in comparison to the spending rate of the correspondingyear as well as the benchmark average annual spending rates (source: NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments).The assets of <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s endowment have beeninvested in diversified types of investments. Theseinvestments are allocated among three investmentadvisory sources, a self-managed portfolio, andtwo portfolios managed by unaffiliated advisors.<strong>Anatolia</strong>’s net investments, similar to other institutionsworldwide, have increased by 10.7% ($ 3 million)since June 30, <strong>2010</strong>.Investments at fair value in thousands of USD as of June30, <strong>2011</strong> consisted of short term investments $ 1,719 (<strong>2010</strong>:$ 2,556), common and preferred stocks $ 42 (<strong>2010</strong>: $ 4),pooled funds $ 10,528 (<strong>2010</strong>: $8,982), alternative investments$ 18,461 (<strong>2010</strong>: $16,222), limited partnerships $ 95 (<strong>2010</strong>: $105), and other $ 321 (<strong>2010</strong>: $ 274), for a total of $ 31,167(<strong>2010</strong>: $ 28,144).The following graph presents the types of investments for FY<strong>2011</strong> and FY <strong>2010</strong>.<strong>2011</strong> <strong>2010</strong>25.


Financial Highlights <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong>The movement of investments during the year is as follows (stated in 1,000’s of USD)INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AT BEGINNING OF THE YEAR $28,144Contribution and pledge receipts 204Interest dividends and net realized gains 143Net unrealized gains 3,783Withdrawals for operations (1,445)Other additions 339INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE ENDING OF THE YEAR $31,167The increase of “contributions and other receivables” by $0.5million is primarily attributed to the extension of the tuitionpayment period offered to parents/ students with the use ofthe credit card as a means of payment, mitigating also thecollectability risk.“Fixed assets” have increased from $17.3 million to $20.1million mainly due to the foreign currency value adjustmentsfrom Euro to USD, as land, buildings, and equipment inGreece are recorded at historical costs in Euros. It should benoted that the USD parity to EUR has decreased from 1.234on June 30, <strong>2010</strong> to 1.449 in June 30, <strong>2011</strong>, resulting in higherUSD converted values.In Fiscal <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Anatolia</strong> invested more than $540,000 USDin capital projects and improvements. During this year, therenovation of <strong>Anatolia</strong> Elementary School on the new leasedpremises that commenced in the previous year was completedwith a total cost of $524,000 USD. In addition, a newsoccer field was inaugurated in May <strong>2011</strong>, through a contributionmade by the <strong>Anatolia</strong> Alumni Association.COMMENTS ON ACTIVITIESTuition is the primary source of revenue for campus operations.To continue drawing from a large pool of candidatesand to avoid an enrollment and revenue decline, the institutionis concentrating on enrollment management at everyinstructional level. Furthermore other revenue generatingprograms such as the Michigan State University English-languageproficiency testing service and the bilingual programshave been strengthened to provide funds in support of academicquality and student life.This chart presents the historical enrollment data of the lastfive years. In spite of the financial crisis, the institution has beenable to maintain a stable overall headcount enrollment level.26.


Throughout its history, <strong>Anatolia</strong> has managed to maintainone the strongest financial aid programs in Greece. Followingthe changes in the operating environments as a result ofthe crisis, <strong>Anatolia</strong> continues to offer low-income families theopportunity for a high-quality, American-style education. Tofacilitate this policy, the Board decided for an increase in <strong>Anatolia</strong>’sendowment spending rate from 4.5% to 5% in <strong>2011</strong>.The <strong>College</strong> applies a “total return” methodology which calculatesthe spending amount on the most recent 12-quarteraverage to absorb market fluctuations. This year the <strong>College</strong>has increased the number of students receiving financial aidfrom 172 to 212. It is worthwhile to mention that this year ahigher number of partial scholarships were provided to <strong>Anatolia</strong>High School to assist students with high performanceand demonstrated financial need so that they might eitherenter or continue their studies at <strong>Anatolia</strong>.The graph illustration presents the number of financial aidrecipients, taking into account that both HS and ACT studentsreceive full or partial scholarships ranging from 10%to 100%.On the expenditure side, the cost savings plan continuedto be implemented for fiscal year <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong>. Actual expenditurelevels were better than budgeted. <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s overallstrategy is to make budgetary adjustments without sacrificingthe overall level of instructional quality. However, takinginto consideration the reality that operating margins are slim,feasible budget cuts cannot possibly make up for all revenueshortfalls and austerity measures. In deciding on cost savingsmeasures selected actions focus on areas where the effectson <strong>Anatolia</strong>’s educational philosophy and identity are lowest.Construction and major renovation projects, except for essentialmaintenance works relating to student and employeesafety, have been deferred until funding is secured so that theanticipated reductions in giving resulting from the crisis will neitherdelay nor postpone ongoing or planned future projects.Faculty and staff salaries for <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong> have been frozen andother measures have been implemented to limit labor costs.The effects of the economic crisis on <strong>Anatolia</strong> operations areassessed regularly. For that purpose, there are alternative con-tingency plans prepared so that adjustments can be made asnecessary.The <strong>College</strong>’s fiscal year <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong> operations reveal an increasein net assets by $ 3.1 million resulting primarily from thepositive performance of the institutions investments.Our aim is to see <strong>Anatolia</strong> emerge from the crisis financiallystrong, as a model of prudent fiscal management, and as aninnovative educational institution offering distinctive academicprograms and providing an enriching student experience.27.
