INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Board of Directors, The University Athletic Association, Inc.: Report on the Financial Statements: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The University Athletic Association, Inc. (the Association), a direct support organization and component unit (for accounting purposes only) of the University of Florida, as of and for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Association s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Association s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. - 1 -
Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Association as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in financial position and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management s discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 17 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. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 4, 2015, on our consideration of the Association s 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Association s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Introduction The University Athletic Association, Inc. (the Association), a not-for-profit corporation, is a direct support organization of the University of Florida (UF). The Association exists to advance UF s teaching, research and service missions through the intercollegiate athletics program. The Association s strategic purpose focuses on providing a championship experience with integrity on and off the field for student-athletes and the Gator Nation. The Association s vision is to be the model collegiate athletics program, combining excellence and integrity in academics, athletics, and fan engagement to elevate the UF brand. The Association recognizes its responsibility to UF to operate the Association in an efficient manner using sound business principles within an ethical decision making process. The tremendous success of the athletic program can be attributed to many factors: outstanding coaches and support staff, extremely talented student-athletes, a great academic institution, a strong recruiting base, university support, supportive alumni and friends, and a commitment to each sport. The Association s financial strength is also a key component in its success and is a major factor in maintaining or surpassing its current level of achievement in all the Association s endeavors. Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis The Association is pleased to present its financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. This discussion and analysis is a narrative explanation of the Association s financial condition and operating activities for these years. The overview presented below highlights the significant financial activities that occurred during the past two years and describes changes in financial activity from the prior year. Please read this overview in conjunction with the comparative summaries of net position and revenues, expenses and changes in net position and the Association s financial statements which begin on Page 18. Using these Financial Statements This report consists of a series of financial statements, prepared in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments and Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management s Discussion and Analysis for Colleges and Universities. There are three financial statements presented: the Statements of Net Position; the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position; and the Statements of Cash Flows. The Association s net position is one indicator of the improvement or erosion of its financial health when considered with non-financial facts such as the overall academic and athletic success of the intercollegiate athletic program and the condition of its facilities, and is a key indicator of the overall health of the Association and its programs. The success of the intercollegiate athletic program for the current year is evidenced by the information displayed on the following page. - 3 -

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Summary of Net Position The Statements of Net Position present the assets, liabilities and net position of the Association as of the end of the last two fiscal years. A Statement of Net Position is a point-in-time financial statement. Its purpose is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of the Association. The Statements of Net Position present end-of-the-year data concerning assets (what the Association owns and how much is owed to the Association by others), liabilities (what the Association owes to others and has collected from others before the service has been provided), and net position (assets minus liabilities). The statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, where revenues are recorded when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. From the data presented, readers of the Statements of Net Position are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the Association. They are able to determine how much the Association owes to vendors and lending institutions. Finally, the Statements of Net Position provide a picture of the net position and their availability for expenditure by the Association. Net Position is divided into three major categories. The first category, net investment in capital assets, presents the Association s equity in property, plant and equipment. The next net position category is restricted net position. The Association s restricted net positions have constraints placed upon their use by independent donors. The final category is unrestricted net position, which is available to the Association for any legal use. Condensed Summary of Net Position (thousands of dollars) 2015-2014 2014-2013 Increase Percent Increase Percent 2015 2014 (decrease) change 2013 (decrease) change Assets: Current assets $ 81,975 $ 74,576 $ 7,399 9.92% $ 72,308 $ 2,268 3.14% Capital assets, net of depreciation 174,582 171,919 2,663 1.55% 175,054 (3,135) (1.79)% Other assets 60,313 58,074 2,239 3.86% 52,668 5,406 10.26% Total assets 316,870 304,569 12,301 4.04% 300,030 4,539 1.51% Liabilities: Long-term debt outstanding 80,630 84,710 (4,080) (4.82)% 88,795 (4,085) (4.60)% Other liabilities 71,119 67,048 4,071 6.07% 69,039 (1,991) (2.88)% Total liabilities 151,749 151,758 (9) (0.01)% 157,834 (6,076) (3.85)% Net position: Net invetment in capital assets 93,951 87,209 6,742 7.73% 86,259 950 1.10% Restricted 23,844 15,122 8,722 57.68% 12,235 2,887 23.60% Unrestricted 47,325 50,480 (3,155) (6.25)% 43,702 6,778 15.51% Total net position $ 165,120 $ 152,811 $ 12,309 8.06% $ 142,196 $ 10,615 7.47% - 5 -
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Highlights The Association s total assets increased by $12.3 million and $4.5 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fluctuation in total assets between 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to fluctuations in the market value of investments and accounts receivable. In 2015, the increase was also due to increases in the market value of investments. Current assets increased in 2015 by $7.4 million due to a $7.2 million increase in short-term investments and a $0.2 million increase in accounts receivable. Capital assets, net of depreciation increased in 2015 by $2.7 million due to asset additions exceeding depreciation expense. In 2015, other assets increased by $2.2 million due to fluctuations in the value of long term investments and increased in 2014 by $5.4 million due to an increase in the amount due from Gator Boosters. Long-term debt outstanding decreased by $4.1 million in 2015 and 2014 due to principal payments on outstanding bonds. Other liabilities increased by $4.1 million in 2015 due to a $6.3 million increase in contracts payable, a $2.0 million decrease in deferred SEC Network distributions, a $1.1 million decrease in deferred royalties, a $1.9 million decrease in advanced football ticket sales and deferred Gator Booster contributions related to the 2015 and future football seasons, and a $2.8 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Total net position increased by $12.3 million and by $10.6 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unrestricted net position decreased by $3.2 million in 2015 and increased by $6.8 million in 2014. In 2015, net position invested in capital assets, net of related debt increased by $6.7 million due to payments of $4.1 million on long-term debt, purchases of $1.4 million in capital assets, spending of $11.0 million in construction trust funds, disposal of $0.5 million in capital assets and the expensing of $9.3 million in depreciation. Restricted net position increased by $8.7 million in 2015 and $2.9 million in 2014 primarily due to receipt of contributions related to future projects in the Stephen C. O Connell Center and the Farrior Hall Academic Center. Summary of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position The Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position present the revenues and expenses incurred during each year. Revenues and expenses are reported as operating and nonoperating. In general, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the Association s various customers and constituencies. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the Association. The utilization of long-lived assets, referred to as capital assets, is reflected in the financial statements as depreciation, which amortizes, and reduces operating income, by the cost of an asset over its expected useful life. - 6 -
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Nonoperating revenues are revenues received for which goods or services are not provided, such as investment income. Nonoperating expenses include interest on capital asset related debt and contributions to the University of Florida (UF) and the University of Florida Foundation (UFF). Contributions to UF include unrestricted gifts for the academic mission of the University, contributions for designated purposes and costs contributed by the Association for UF projects. Contributions to the UFF are transfers by the Association to the athletic scholarship endowment. Capital contributions are considered neither operating nor nonoperating and are reported after Income before capital contributions. Changes in total net position as presented on the Statements of Net Position are based on the activity presented in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. The purpose of the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position is to present the operating and nonoperating revenues received by the Association and the operating and nonoperating expenses paid by the Association, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the Association.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Highlights Football revenues increased in 2015 by $10.7 million primarily due to an increase in SEC network revenue, which launched in August 2014, and revenue from participation in a bowl game during the 2014 season. Other sports revenues increased in 2015 by $4.1 million primarily due to new revenue from the SEC Network. Royalties and sponsorships increased by $3.3 million in 2015 due to a one time increase of $1.5 million in multimedia rights and a $2.0 million signing bonus on a new Nike equipment contract. Nonoperating revenue decreased by $7.9 million in 2015 and increased by $2.1 million in 2014 due to investment performance fluctuations. In 2015, operating expenses increased by $22.6 million due to the following: o Team expenses increased by $16.6 million primarily due to one-time coaching staff transition expenses in football and men s basketball. These expenses included over $6.9 million in termination settlements, which includes the full payout to former football and men s basketball coaching staffs. As well as a one-time expense of $5.1 million to fully recognize the contractual buyout agreements and signing bonuses for the football and men s basketball coaches. As well, the football team did not participate in a bowl game in the 2013 season, but did in the 2014 season for an increase in cost of $1.8 million. There was also an increase of $2.4 million in team expenses due to increases in charter aircraft costs and post season travel, along with increased coaching salaries for other sports. o Scholarships and supports services increased by $2.3 million primarily due to an increase in scholarship costs, student athlete tutoring and student athlete medical expenses. o General and administrative expenses increased by $3.3 million primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in administrative support to the University, $0.6 million increase in employee health insurance expenses, $0.3 million in utility expenses and an increase of $1.0 million in maintenance project expenses, as well as, salary increases of 3.5% for all full time employees. o Auxiliaries, camps and depreciation expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $0.3 million in depreciation. Operating expenses for 2014 increased by $2.8 million primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in scholarships and support services and a $1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses. Most of this increase was due to a budgeted merit salary increase for substantially all employees. Additionally, marketing expenses increased due to new branding initiatives, ticket office expenses increased due to a new consulting contract related to ticket sales services and termination settlements increased due to the retirement of a long time coach. Contributions to the University of Florida and to the University of Florida Foundation increased by $1.8 million in 2015 and decreased by $3.3 million in 2014. Contributions to the University of Florida include unrestricted gifts for the academic mission of the University, contributions for designated purposes and costs incurred by the Association for UF projects. See Note 7 in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further details on the Association s contributions to the University of Florida. Contributions to the University of Florida Foundation consisted of transfers by the - 8 -

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Statement of Cash Flows The final statements presented include Statements of Cash Flows. The primary purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows is to provide relevant information about the Association s cash receipts and cash payments during the years shown. The statements classify cash receipts and cash payments as they result from operating, noncapital financing, capital and related financing, or investing activities. The first section, cash flows from operating activities, presents the cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of the Association s operating income. The second section, cash flows from noncapital financing activities, shows the cash received and spent for nonoperating, noninvesting, and noncapital financing purposes and includes contributions to and from the University of Florida, the University of Florida Foundation and the State of Florida. The next section, cash flows from capital and related financing activities, provides information about cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items and cash received from contributions specifically designated for capital purposes. The fourth section, cash flows from investing activities, details the purchases, proceeds and income received from investing activities. The final section reconciles the net cash provided (used) by operating activities to the operating income reflected on the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Capital Asset and Debt Administration The Athletic Association is financially responsible for all major capital projects and improvements. The Association coordinates all capital projects under University construction guidelines and with University personnel, but has full financial responsibility of the cost of the projects. The Association has a rich history of financing these projects through a combination of major capital gifts, UAA operating funds, and tax exempt debt. See exhibits below: Annual Capitalized Projects - 2005-2015 Total of $140,284,164 Operating Funds $50,526,666 36% Private Capital Contributions $54,757,498 39% Bond Issuance $35,000,000 25% $25,000,000 $20,000,000 $15,000,000 Operating Funds Bond Issuance $10,000,000 $5,000,000 Private Capital Contributions $- 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015-15 -
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) As of June 30, 2015, the Association has a total of $80,630,000 in outstanding debt. This debt was used to finance a number of different athletic facilities, including a 1990 expansion of the north end zone of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, a 2001 expansion of the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium Skybox and press box complex, a 2005 expansion and renovation of the baseball stadium and locker room, a 2007 expansion and renovation of the football offices and student athlete strength and conditioning center, a 2011 expansion of the west concourse of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, an expansion and renovation of the gymnastics practice facility and an expansion and renovation of the men s and women s indoor tennis facility. Subsequent to year end, in July 2015, the Association issued a new bond for $15 million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) Economic Outlook The UAA s vision is to be the model collegiate athletics program by combining excellence and integrity in academics, athletics, and fan engagement to elevate the UF brand. The UAA continues to be in good condition financially, through a supportive fan base, a successful Gator Booster organization, and as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The launch of the SEC Network has been financially successful and has increased visibility of our league and will continue to be a significant revenue source along with the bowl agreements the league has entered into under the College Football Playoff format. The NCAA s culture is evolving to allow institutions to provide more assistance to student-athletes and has brought student-athlete safety to the forefront. This trend will increase the UAA s expenditures but will provide an opportunity to further support our vision. We must continue to seek donors for major gifts and endowments. The major gifts allow us to have some of the finest facilities in the country and the scholarship endowment (currently at $53.2 million) protects our future. Raising dollars for endowment is a major priority for the UAA and Gator Boosters. The financial success of the UAA will allow our student-athletes and our respective programs to compete and succeed at the highest level.

Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Association distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses for the Association are those that result from the operation of the University of Florida s intercollegiate athletic programs.

Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets is included as part of the capitalized value of assets constructed. Costs to maintain or repair these assets are expensed as incurred.

Such amounts are not included in the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position. (h) Accrued compensated absences Eligible employees are entitled to annual vacation and sick leave with pay.
