UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO: FINANCIAL REPORT 12/31/2010

UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO: FINANCIAL REPORT 12/31/2010 OVERVIEW The following is a summary of the financial highlights contained in the second quarter report for fiscal year 2010-11: Cash and Accounts Receivable: The University s cash position continues to be strong with a balance of $56.4 million at 12/31/10, about the same as the prior year. The second quarter accounts receivable is $8.2 million, consistent with the upward trend reflective of general price increases, but within expected ranges. Budget to Forecast: In the second quarter, roll-forward was added to the budget and expenditures were forecasted based on current events and historical information. A detailed operating statement is on page 6 of this report. Tuition, including on-campus and Extended Studies, is forecasted to be $420,000 less than budget; this will be offset by UNC s budget contingency of $800,000. An updated revenue forecast based on Spring Census Date will be provided at the February board meeting. $3.0 million has been added to reserves for loss in state funding. $522,000 was added in the first quarter, and another $2.5 million was added in the second quarter upon completion of the rollforward process. The total reserve is now $13 million. Capital: UNC anticipates spending $11.2 million on capital projects in fiscal year 2010-11. $3.5 million is for the completion of the bond funded and COP projects, such as the West Campus housing project, the Turner renovation, and the Butler-Hancock renovation. The remaining projects are outlined on page 10 of this report. Restricted Grants and Contracts: Restricted Grants and Contracts, including federal and state financial aid are budgeted at $30.4 million for fiscal year 2010-11. A detailed schedule is found on page 11 of this report. Page 1 of 11

CASH The University cash position is slightly higher than previous years at this time. The timing of University receipts from the state has had an effect on our cash flow cycle over the last two years. The charts below show amounts available for Operating, Innovation, Capital Projects, and Reserves. (Note: Restricted funds have money owed to them from the grantors. Until the restricted funds are received, the balances are supported by operating funds.) 2nd Quarter Cash Balance Operating On Campus Education & General $ 17,728,579 Housing, Dining, Parking, UC 3,267,261 Extended Studies & Other 2,292,602 Designated for Restricted Funds 1,651,434 Innovation 2,218,620 Capital Projects 7,082,551 Reserves 22,193,617 Total Cash $ 56,434,663 39% 13% 4% 31% 6% 4% 3% On Campus Education & General Housing, Dining, Parking, UC Extended Studies & Other Designated for Restricted Funds Innovation Capital Projects Reserves $90,000,000 $80,000,000 A $70,000,000 $60,000,000 $50,000,000 $40,000,000 B FISCAL YEAR 2008 FISCAL YEAR 2009 FISCAL YEAR 2010 FISCAL YEAR 2011 $30,000,000 Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun The cash flow trend has been relatively consistent over the last four years. The low point during the year has traditionally been the end of July through mid-august and is a good point for benchmarking purposes. Rate increases for tuition, fees, and room and board create a larger spike during tuition and fee payment periods (September and January). In addition, the trend has been affected over the last few years by various factors: Page 2 of 11

A In fiscal year 2010-11 the University did not receive its first quarter fee-for-service payments by 9/30/10. This payment of approximately $4.9 million is reflected in the second quarter. In addition, federal funds of $8.9 million were received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009-10. None were received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010-11.The timing of these payments account for the difference in our cash balance from the previous year. B The University cash trend is consistent with the previous years for the second quarter.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Student Accounts Receivable (AR) remains the second largest current asset at the University (cash is the largest).

Generalizations for select aging buckets: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AGING 0-150 days is 5 months, or a semester. This pool of receivables generally represents students who are enrolled in classes. 151-360 days is the time period we are most concerned with. In general, these are students who have completed a semester and have made arrangements to have their bills paid to avoid having registration holds put on their accounts. It is in this time frame that more stringent collection efforts generally begin. Over 360 days includes accounts that are on payment agreement plans and have made a payment or had tax offset collection, or other accounts that we need permission from the state to write off. These accounts make up a majority of our $3.1 million allowance for bad debt.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Notes to Second Quarter Operating Budget (page 6) The financial report includes operating, innovation, and restricted gift funds from the UNC Foundation. This report does not include internal sales, capital projects, restricted grants and contracts, restricted financial aid, or reserve funds. The report shows the forecast to budget variance indicating how the University expects to measure against the budget for the year. Another column shows the year-to-date actual and what percentage of the budget has been utilized by line item. Resident tuition for undergraduates is forecasted to be $780,000 less than budgeted for fiscal year 2010-11. It is anticipated that students will register for 6,100 fewer credit hours over the fiscal year than projected in the budget. This is based on fall census enrollment and takes historical patterns of interim, spring, and summer enrollment, in relation to fall enrollment, into account to forecast the remaining terms of the year. Resident tuition for graduates is forecasted to be $76,000 less than budgeted for fiscal year 2010-11. It is anticipated that students will register for 438 fewer credit hours than budgeted. This is based on fall census and historical patterns of enrollment for interim, spring, and summer terms. As discussed at the last board meeting, we are actively working to positively affect spring and summer enrollment. The overall variance of resident tuition is $856,000 less than budget, which is 1.7% of the total resident tuition. Non-resident undergraduate tuition is forecasted to exceed budget by $470,000. It is anticipated that non-resident students will enroll in 995 more credit hours than budgeted for fiscal year 2010-11. Non-resident graduate tuition is forecasted to be $211,000 less than budgeted in fiscal year 2010-11. It is anticipated that non-resident graduate students will enroll in 300 fewer credit hours than budgeted. The total non-resident tuition forecast is $259,000 greater than budget, which is 1.4% of the nonresident tuition budget. The on-campus tuition forecast is a $597,000 less than budget, which is 0.9% of our total oncampus tuition budget. Extended Studies has more cohorts enrolled than budgeted and is forecasting $177,000 favorable variance to budget for fiscal year 2010-11. Other current expenditures, purchased services, and supplies are forecasted based on historical trend. The annual roll-forward has been added to other current expenditures, but historically the full amount has not been expended. Scholarships may be over-budget for two reasons: Need-based aid awards up to $240,000 more than the original budget. Athletics scholarships of $275,000 not covered through fund-raising. The June Book original budget is $357,710. The second quarter adjusted budget is ($12,736,678). The year-to-date change of ($13,094,388) is comprised of ($9,308,854) of roll-forward added to the operating budget, ($2,539,204) of roll-forward transferred out to reserves, ($1,232,429) of roll forward for the Extended Studies FY 10 incentive plan distribution, and ($13,901) of technical corrections to the budget. After addition of the roll-forward to the operating budget, UNC s budget reflects that $12.7 million of net assets will be utilized in FY11. However, based on historical trends and current year activities, we are forecasting that we will utilize only $4.8 million of net assets in FY11. Page 7 of 11

CAPITAL PROJECTS UNC has a backlog of deferred maintenance of $138 million for the state supported and auxiliary facilities. State appropriations of $48 million were provided from 1999 2003, but only $18 million from 2004 2010. No additional monies are anticipated from the state for this purpose in the foreseeable future (1-3 years). Page 9 of 11
