3 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT JUNE 30, 2016

4 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For Fiscal Year Ended 6/30/16 Introduction The following discussion and analysis provides an overview of the financial position of the University of Dayton for the year ended June 30, 2016 with comparative information for the previous year ended June 30, This overview has been prepared by management and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes that follow this section. The University of Dayton is a private Roman Catholic national research university in Dayton, Ohio. Founded in 1850 by the Society of Mary (the Marianists), it is one of three Marianist universities in the nation and the largest private university in Ohio. The university s campus spans 388 acres in Dayton and occupies a building at the University of Dayton China Institute in Suzhou Industrial Park, China. The University has over 8,200 full time undergraduates, 2,300 graduate students and 450 part time students with a wide variety of backgrounds, drawn from across the United States and over 70 countries. The university offers more than 70 academic programs in arts and sciences, business administration, education and health sciences, engineering and law. Financial Highlights Fiscal year 2016 was another very strong year for financial operations for the University, with $57.6 million in unrestricted operating margin compared to $49.8 million in fiscal The major drivers of these strong operating results included record levels of undergraduate enrollment and retention and significant growth in sponsored research. Externally sponsored research and development revenue grew nearly 20% to $116.3 million from $97.2 million in These results allowed the university to continue to diversify its revenue base, continuing its objective of reducing its overall reliance on undergraduate tuition. Total assets decreased slightly from $1.55 billion to $1.54 billion while total net assets decreased by 1.2% or $11.1 million. These reductions were primarily attributable to a decline in the value of the university s long term investment pool and allocations to support operating activities. Liabilities decreased $1.6 million to $604.3 million, primarily driven by a reduction in long term debt by $12.4 million to $394.7 million. The university generated $46.1 million in cash from operating activities compared to $61.6 in Significant financial events during fiscal year 2016 were: The University s enrollment remained stable from 2015 to Total enrollment was 11,271. The number of full-time undergraduate students from outside Ohio increased to 55.5% from 54.3% in the previous year. International students comprised 11.5% of the undergraduates for a second year. The University s retention rate from first to second year undergraduate students increased to 90.7%, and first to fourth year retention has increased by 4.0% since the inception of the guaranteed tuition program in fiscal year This program allows students and their families to plan for their college expenses by guaranteeing that net tuition will remain unchanged over their time of attendance. Investments decreased by $46.2 million (-6.1%) to a total of $709.9 million. The endowment, which is the largest component of investments, decreased by $27.3 million (-5.5%) to a balance of $473.1 million. The annual endowment spending draw of $16.5 million coupled with the negative investment return of $14.3 million were the primary drivers of the decrease. New gifts to the endowment were $3.5 million. The University and its partner began renovations to the hotel adjacent to campus. The renovations are anticipated to be substantially completed during fiscal Assets grew in this entity to $34.1 million from $29.5 million due to this renovation. These assets, along with the liabilities of $26.1 million and net operating margin of $1.0 million were consolidated into the University s financial statements. The minority partner has an interest of $0.1 million. Fiscal 2016 was the first full year of operations for this entity included in the University s consolidated financial statements. 2

5 During fiscal year 2016, the University entered into an agreement to purchase the building it occupies in Suzhou, China for the University of Dayton China Institute. Approximately $9.0 million was transferred to the Chinese government for this purchase and is reflected in other assets on the balance sheet. The University anticipates closing on the purchase in fiscal The University added $40.7 million in fixed assets during fiscal year These additions included the previously mentioned hotel renovation, substantial renovations to the Chapel as well as ongoing renovations for research labs, and residential and athletic facilities. In the spring of 2016, the University issued $28 million in tax-exempt bonds through a bank private placement in order to refinance all of its 2008 revenue bonds. This resulted in an annual interest savings of approximately $70,000 per year. Consolidated Statements of Financial Position Total assets decreased by $12.7 million to $1.54 billion. Negative investment return of $53.9 million was a primary driver of this decline. Offsets to this included net fixed asset growth of $25.4 million, the option to purchase the building in China, and an increase in receivables driven by increased activity in the Research Institute. Total liabilities decreased slightly by $1.6 million. Bond principal payments for 2016 of $10.7 million nearly offset the increase in the accrued postretirement obligation of $5.6 million and the change in unrealized loss on interest rate swap obligations of $5.0 million. Accounts payable decreased by $3.5 million due to reduced construction activity on campus compared to the prior year. Both assets and liabilities were reduced due to the reclassification of debt issuance costs as required under new accounting standards that were adopted during fiscal For fiscal 2016, $4.7 million was reclassified from Fixed Assets to a reduction of Indebtedness; for fiscal 2015, $4.8 million was similarly reclassified. Total unrestricted net assets grew by $5.1 million compared to $13.1 million in This modest increase was due to the strong operating returns offset by the non-operating losses on investments. Also contributing were the changes in post-retirement benefit obligations, bond issuance cost adjustments, and the changes in the unrealized loss on interest rate swap agreements. Restricted and temporarily restricted net assets decreased by $16.3 million due to the release of restricted gifts to operations and the negative investment return. This compared to an increase of $14.1 million in Consolidated Statements of Activities Total net assets decreased by $11.1 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to an increase of $27.2 million in fiscal As previously discussed, the University recognized actuarial losses of $3.5 million relating to normal assumption changes for its post-retirement benefits, compared to actuarial losses of $2.5 million in Also, the change in unrealized loss on interest rate swaps increased by $5.0 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year. A one-time write off of $5.1 million to bond issuance costs was recognized in 2016 due to the adoption of the new accounting standards referred to above. Total revenues grew from $499.4 million to $521.6 million. Net tuition revenue showed modest growth from $215.2 million to $216.8 million in Private gifts, grants and other decreased to $57.8 million from $65.5 million in fiscal year This decrease was due to fewer gifts, decreased private research revenue and fewer special projects. Government grants and contracts increased by $30.5 million (23.2%) to a total of 3

6 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) For Fiscal Year Ended 6/30/16 $109.0 million. This was due to continued record governmental contract activity in the University s Research Institute as well as on-campus faculty-driven research. This growth is even more striking in the current federal sponsored research funding environment where most major research institutions are generally experiencing stagnant growth. While operating revenues increased by 7.2%, operating expenditures increased by 6.2% from $435.3 to $462.7 million driven primarily by personnel costs and contracting and maintenance activity. Salaries and benefits grew from $243.1 to $256.1 million. Contract services and maintenance grew from $52.8 to $63.8 million, largely driven by increase subawards issued from sponsored research contracts and grants. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Cash modestly increased by $1.4 million in fiscal year The $46.1 million of cash generated by operations plus $12.7 million of cash from investments covered the fixed asset acquisitions of $52.2 million and cash used for financing activities of $5.2 million, which included a reduction of long-term debt of approximately $11.3 million. 4

7 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Board of Trustees University of Dayton Dayton, Ohio Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the University of Dayton which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statement of activities and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the University of Dayton as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

12 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands) Note 1. Description of the Organization The University of Dayton (the University) is an independent, coeducational institution founded and sponsored by the Society of Mary (the Marianists), a Roman Catholic Institute of Consecrated Life. The University is located in Dayton, Ohio and is one of the nation s largest Catholic institutions of higher learning. Its students are actively recruited from all states, as well as from over seventy foreign nations. The student population approximates 8,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students. The University awards baccalaureate, masters, and selected doctoral degrees in programs within the College of Arts and Sciences and four professional schools: the School of Business Administration, the School of Education and Health Sciences, the School of Engineering, and the School of Law. Through these academic units and its Research Institute, the University conducts a wide variety of academic and scientific research. The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the accounts of the following entities, hereafter referred to as the University: Note 2. The University of Dayton; Ten legal limited liability companies that own interests in real estate near the University s campus, and of which the University is the sole member; UDCI, Ltd., a limited liability company established to hold the University s interests in its operations in China, and of which the University is the sole member; The River Park Community Corporation, a separate not for profit corporation engaged in activities related to the University, and of which the University is the sole member; 111 River Park, LLC, a wholly owned affiliate of The River Park Community Corporation, River Park Development II, LLC, a wholly owned affiliate of The River Park Community Corporation; 1414 South Patterson, LLC, a limited liability company established to hold the University s interests in a real estate joint venture, and of which the University is the sole member; and Dayton Hotel II, LLC and Concord Dayton Hotel II, LLC, both of which are controlled by 1414 South Patterson, LLC and established to own and operate a hotel adjacent to the University s campus. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all controlled affiliates that are required to be consolidated, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in joint ventures for which the University does not have control or is not the primary beneficiary, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, the University s share of net earnings and losses from these ventures is included in the consolidated statements of activities. 10

13 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Net assets: Net assets are classified into three categories: unrestricted, which have no donor-imposed restrictions; temporarily restricted, which have donor-imposed restrictions that will expire in the future; and permanently restricted, which have donor-imposed restrictions that do not expire. The expiration of a donor-imposed restriction on a contribution or endowment income is recognized in the period in which the restriction expires, and, at that time, the related resources are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. A restriction expires when the stipulated time has elapsed, when the stipulated purpose for which the resource was restricted has been fulfilled, or both. Contributions of long-lived assets, such as land, buildings, or equipment without donor stipulations concerning the use are reported as revenue of the unrestricted net asset class. Such gifts are recorded at fair value at the date of donation. Contributions of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire longlived assets are reported as temporarily restricted revenue. The temporary restriction is considered released upon acquisition of the asset. Net assets are released from donor restrictions by incurring expenses satisfying the restricted purposes or by occurrence of events specified by the donors or by the change of restrictions specified by the donors. Contributions received with donor-imposed restrictions, where the restrictions are met in the same fiscal year, are reported as unrestricted net assets. Measure of operations: The change in net assets from operations excludes certain activity. Amounts not included in the measure of operations include investment return in excess of or deficient from amounts designated for current operations, changes in actuarial valuation of annuities, changes in the net unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swap agreements, change in postretirement benefit obligation, loss on bond defeasement, bond issuance cost adjustment and change in endowments operating at a loss. The Board of Trustees designates a specified amount of the expected investment return in support of current operations. Any excess is reinvested to maintain earnings growth for support of future operations. Amounts designated for current operations include the established endowment appropriation plus amounts designated for certain expenses, including interest on indebtedness and accrued postretirement benefits. Related-party transactions: The Marianists are a separate entity from the University. Members of the Marianists may serve on the faculty and staff of the University under employment agreements; however, they are not eligible to participate in the University s retirement programs. On an annual basis, the University reimburses the Marianists an amount equivalent to the salaries and benefits of employed members. The reimbursement was $1,399 in 2016 and $1,342 in The University s intent is to compensate the Marianists at a rate comparable to University employees in similar positions. The Marianists contribute funds to the University, which are recorded as gifts. These gifts were $847 and $394 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The University is a party to a joint venture agreement with another not for profit entity to perform contract research for the Federal government. The University is a 50% member of this joint venture limited liability company, and also a subcontractor to this entity. The University recognized government contract revenue of $8,347 in 2016 and $2,397 in 2015 from this entity. 11

14 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Liquidity: Assets and liabilities are listed in their estimated order of liquidity. For accounts with undeterminable liquidity, the University has made additional disclosures in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Revenue recognition: The University records tuition and fees collected prior to the beginning of each academic semester as deferred revenue. Income from tuition and fees is recognized at the beginning of the semester when classes begin. Tuition and fees relating to summer sessions that begin after June 30 are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as deferred revenue. Contributions received, including unconditional promises, are recognized as revenue when the donor's commitment is received. Unconditional promises are recognized at the estimated present value of the future cash flows, net of allowances that represent fair value. Promises made that are designated for future periods or restricted by the donor for specific purposes are reported as temporarily restricted or permanently restricted revenue. Conditional promises are recorded when donor stipulations are substantially met. Grants and contracts consist primarily of contractual agreements with governmental and private entities for the conduct of research and other sponsored programs. These agreements represent exchange transactions between the University and the grantors and contractors and are, accordingly, included in unrestricted net assets. Revenue is recognized on grants and contracts as expenses are incurred, performance or obligations are met and any payments received in advance of expenses being incurred are reflected as deferred revenue. Revenue from auxiliary enterprises is recognized as goods or services are provided. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments that are neither internally nor externally restricted. The University considers highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents when they are both readily convertible to cash and so near to maturity (typically within 90 days) when acquired that their value is not subject to substantial risk due to changes in interest rates. The amount of cash and cash equivalents carried in the consolidated statements of financial position represents fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Accounts receivable, net: Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the University for tuition, grants and contracts, and other revenue generated by the University. The University has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management s assessment of historical and net collections considering historical business and economic conditions. Amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable value. Pledges receivable, net: Pledges are recorded as revenue in the year the pledge is made. Unconditional donor pledges to give cash, marketable securities, and other assets are reported using a discounted cash flow approach. The discount rates used range from 1.7% to 7.0% depending on the year the pledge was received. Conditional donor promises to give and indications of intentions to give are not recognized until the condition is satisfied. Pledges received with donor restriction that limit the use of the donated assets are reported as either temporary or permanently restricted support until the donor restriction expires. Most unconditional promises are designated for scholarships and general operating purposes. An allowance is recorded for amounts deemed uncollectible. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. 12

15 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Notes receivable, net: Notes receivable consist of a loan associated with the office and research facility and from student loans under government loan programs. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded based on management s assessment of historical and net collections considering historical business and economic conditions. The notes are recorded at estimated net realizable value. Investments: The University invests its endowed funds and other funds in a variety of marketable securities and alternative investments. Investments in marketable debt and equity securities are carried at market value based on quoted market prices or the last reported sale price on the last business day of the fiscal year. Investment in alternative investments include limited partnerships, private equity, hedge funds, and real estate partnerships, do not have readily determinable fair values, and are carried at the University s proportionate share of the fund s net asset value used as a practical expedient. Such fair value estimates are based upon the funds net asset value at its year end, adjusted for any contributions, distributions and earnings between the funds year end and the University s year end. In management s opinion, the stated values approximate fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ from values that would have been used had a readily available market value for the investments existed, and such differences may be material. The weighted average method is used for purposes of determining gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities. Interest and dividend income is recorded when earned. The University also holds certain real estate investments that are not readily marketable. These investments are accounted for on the equity method. Assets held by others and split interest agreements: The University has entered into split interest agreements, including charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities which provide that the University, as trustee, make payments to designated beneficiaries in accordance with the applicable donor s trust or contractual agreement. The University is also the beneficiary of charitable trusts held by third party trustees. Assets held under these agreements are included in investments and are recorded at fair value. At the date of contribution, the University records a split interest agreement obligation to life beneficiaries based on the present value of the estimated payments to designated life beneficiaries. The split interest agreement obligation is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position. Obligations under split interest agreements are recorded at the present value of estimated payments (based on actuarially determined life expectancy tables, trust asset growth assumptions, and discount rates ranging from 1.2% to 10.0%). The University believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with similar agreements held by other institutions and the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of similar liabilities could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The annual change in the value of the split interest agreement obligation to life beneficiaries is reflected in the consolidated statement of activities and represents the change in actuarial assumptions as well as the revenues and expenses of the trust. In addition, the University has assets held by others which represent the present value of the estimated income the University will receive in the future from beneficial interest in trusts for which third parties serve as the trustees. Land, buildings, and equipment: Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of buildings, land improvements, and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 45 years, 20 years, and 3 to 15 years, respectively. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed in the year incurred. 13

16 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Advances from government for federal loans: Funds provided by the United States government under the Federal Perkins Loan Program are loaned to qualified students. Any funds collected from students may be re-loaned. These funds are ultimately refundable to the government and are recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. Income taxes: The University is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as an organization exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The University is a public charity as defined by IRC Section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii). The University is exempt from federal income taxes except to the extent of income derived from unrelated business activities. Unrelated business income is not material to the financial statements. The entities for which the University is the sole member are disregarded for tax purposes. Any activity from these entities is included in the tax return of the University. The River Park Community Corporation has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a title holding corporation exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(2) of the IRC. The River Park Community Corporation is exempt from federal income taxes except to the extent of income derived from unrelated business activities. Unrelated business income is not material to the financial statements. Tax returns filed by the University and River Park Community Corporation are subject to examination by the IRS up to three years from the filing date of each return. Forms 990 and 990T filed by the entities are no longer subject to examination for the years 2012 and prior. The University completed an analysis of its tax position, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, and determined that no amounts were required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 or Use of estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates are used to determine the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also are used to determine the reported amounts of revenue, gains, and other support and expenditures during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from these estimates. Fair value measurements: The University follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. 14

17 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, and as noted above, ASC 820 defines a three-level fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity s own assumptions about market participants. The fair value hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 Inputs utilize quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 Inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset and liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals Level 3 Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The University s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. New accounting pronouncements: In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No , Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU is required to be applied to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, The amendments in ASU are intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The adoption of this pronouncement in 2016 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a full retrospective or retrospective with cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU which defers the effective date of ASU one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, The University is currently in the process of assessing what impact this new standard may have on its consolidated financial statements and determining what transition method will be used. 15

18 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU , Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of activities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The University is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU , Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities. This accounting standard makes improvements to the information provided in financial statements and accompanying notes of not-for-profit entities. The standard sets forth improvements to net asset classification requirements and the information presented about a not-for-profit entity s liquidity, financial performance and cash flows. ASU will be effective for years beginning after December 15, The University is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 consolidated financial statement presentation to conform to 2016 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the previously stated change in net assets. Note 3. Securities Lending Program The University participates in a pooled securities lending program, whereby securities owned by the University are loaned to other entities as part of a pool that is managed by a custodian bank. The pool requires that cash and non-cash collateral from the borrower be placed with a third party trustee in an amount equal to 102% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities of United States issuers, and 105% of the market value of the loaned securities for securities of non-united States issuers. The University maintains effective control of the loaned marketable securities through its custodian during the term of the arrangement in that they may be recalled at any time. Under the terms of the arrangement, the borrower must return the same, or substantially the same, marketable securities that were borrowed. The custodian invests the cash collateral received in government securities, overnight commercial paper and other short-term overnight investments on behalf of the University and other members of the securities lending pool. The market value of cash collateral held for loaned marketable securities is reported as collateral held for securities lending agreement on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. A corresponding liability is also recorded for repayment of such collateral upon settlement of the securities lending arrangements. The market value of noncash collateral is not recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. 16 At June 30, 2016, securities on loan totaled $5,624 for which a total amount of $5,750 of collateral was posted by the borrowers; the market value of the cash collateral held was $1,698. At June 30, 2015, securities on loan totaled $3,972 for which a total amount of $4,103 of collateral was posted by the borrowers; the market value of the cash collateral held was $1,811. As a result of the changes in the fair value of the invested cash collateral at June 30, 2016 and 2015, the University recorded gains of approximately $14 and $21 respectively. The results of changes in the fair value of invested collateral are included in investment gain in excess of or deficient from amounts designated for current operations on the consolidated statement of activities. These amounts are treated as noncash items for purposes of recording cash flows. The market value of noncash collateral at June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $4,051 and $2,292, respectively.

The pool includes the University s endowment funds. Some of the investments, including the real estate and real estate funds, limited partnerships, hedge funds and private equity investments, have time restrictions on redemption. These restrictions vary from six months to the stated term of the limited partnership, trust, or fund, which may be longer than one year. During this period, the University may not be able to readily sell or convert certain holdings in the pool to cash. Funds that have restrictions on liquidity in excess of one year are approximately $73,865 and $81,998 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and range from two to seven years in duration. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is possible that changes in the values of investment securities may occur in the near term and those changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. 18
