2013 Financial Overview 2

The objective of the annual Overview of Financial Activities of the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is to provide UB’s leadership with a comprehensive summary of financial information for the campus to assist them with their financial decisions related to UB’s core operations. The operating statements and financial information in this report, for the year ended June 30, 2013, are prepared on a cash basis for core operations that includes funding from:

State tax support, tuition, fees, and service revenue

Residence halls and apartments operations

Agency, endowment income, and unrestricted gifts administered in the University at Buffalo Foundation

Facility and administrative cost recovery and other income administered in the Research Foundation for SUNY

Agency revenue administered in Campus Dining & Shops

A detailed description of the funding sources can be found on page 26 of the report. In addition to the core operating activities, the Appendix of this report presents UB’s Annual Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, which were prepared on an accrual basis. The financial statements include restricted revenues that cannot be used for day-to-day operating activities, as well as the financial activity of closely affiliated entities, both of which are not included in the Overview of Financial Activities. These entities or activities include sponsored research activity in the Research Foundation for SUNY and the University at Buffalo Foundation Services, Inc., the SUNY Construction Fund, and Campus Dining & Shops corporate activities.

Overview

The Overview of Financial Activities examines in-depth the University at Buffalo’s (UB) core financial operating condition and activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and prior years. The report is focused on the core operations of UB that includes sources from:

State operating tax support Tuition and fees Service revenue Residence halls and apartments

operations

Agency, endowment income, and unrestricted

gifts administered in the University at Buffalo Foundation (UBF)

Research Foundation (RF) facility and administrative cost recovery and other revenue

Campus Dining & Shops (CDS) agency revenue

Amounts reported in the accompanying cash basis report are different from amounts reported in UB’s financial statements, which were prepared on an accrual basis and include activities from closely affiliated entities that UB’s management does not directly control. Other financial highlights outside of UB’s core operating activities are presented beginning on page 20 and include analysis of UB’s endowment fund investments, long-term debt, general university service fee, sponsored research activity, and UB’s economic impact on the Buffalo-Niagara region.

Core Operating Activities

Financial Highlights

Operating Revenues Operating revenues received in 2012-13 totaled $680 million as reported in Chart 1.

Tuition revenue (net of $10 million of State supported scholarship allowances) of $219 million was the largest source of revenue at 32% of the total. It was $59 million higher than State support of $160 million. State support shrank to 23% of total revenues.

Revenue from student fees of $60

million moved higher capturing 9% of total revenues.

Other revenue accounted for $133

million or 20% of the total and was comprised of revenue from sales and services, salary recovery from grants, and other miscellaneous revenues.

2013 Financial Overview 4

Chart 2 displays the operating revenues by source for fiscal years 2010-11 through 2012-13. Revenues for 2012-13 of $680 million were $50 million or 8% greater than $630 million for 2010-11. The significant changes were:

State support of $160 million fell $23 million or 13% from $183 million in 2010-11 as the State continued to reduce tax dollar support to UB.

Tuition revenue of $219 million rose $35 million or 19% from $184 million in 2010-11 mostly due to tuition rate increases by the SUNY Board of Trustees to offset shrinking State support.

Student Fees of $60 million increased $9 million or 18% from $51 million in 2010-11 mainly as a result of the Academic Excellence and Success Fee introduced in spring 2012.

Other revenue of $133 million grew $32 million or 32% from $101 million in 2010-11 due to increases in transfers from affiliated entities, hospital and clinical and continuing education revenues.

Operating Expenses by Function

Operating expenses of $632 million for 2012-13 are displayed according to functional classification in Charts 3 and 4.

Combined expenses for instruction, departmental research and academic support of $364 million represented 58% of total 2012-13 expenses.

Institutional support of $81 million

includes activities that are of a general character and for the general executive and administrative offices serving UB as a whole. (Includes Office of the Chief Information Officer, University Business Services and Student Advisement, Resources & Financial Services).

2013 Financial Overview 5

Total operating expenses of $632 million in 2012-13 was equivalent to the level spent in 2010-11 of $631 million. Major spending changes between functions are explained as follows:

Instruction increased $20 million to $289 million largely due to higher expenditures in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, School of Dental Medicine, and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences of $7, $3 and $2 million, respectively.

Institutional support declined $25 million to $81 million primarily as a result of reduced expenditures

related to the closure of the UB Micro store in June 2012 of nearly $8 million and designation of UB Foundation funds for future use that totaled almost $13 million.

Scholarships and fellowships rose $3 million or 16% with support from Income Fund Reimbursable

resources to assist students with higher tuition.

Operating Expenses by Type

Charts 5 and 6 present UB’s operating expenses by type of expenditure.

Employee salaries totaling $419 million was the largest expense at 66% of total expenses.

The 2012-13 salary expense breakdown by funding source, which includes the Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable (DIFR), Income Fund Reimbursable (IFR) and State University Tuition Reimbursable Account (SUTRA) funds, was:

State Operating $337 million 80%

DIFR, IFR & SUTRA $36 million 9%

UB Foundation $33 million 8%

Research Foundation $13 million 3%

Employee fringe benefits expense of $26 million excludes fringe benefits for salaries supported by State operating funds as those costs are paid directly by the State. Employee fringe benefits paid directly by the State amounted to $172 million in 2012-13.

Salaries combined with fringe benefits expense totaled $445 million, which was $8 million or 2% higher than $437 million in 2010-11. Although the number of employees grew by nearly 600 or 5%, growth in payroll expense was negligible. Negotiated salary increases for State employees were eliminated in 2011-12 and 2012-13. Also, the deficit reduction leave program implemented in 2011-12, negotiated by the State for certain bargaining units, reduced costs.

Expenses for items other than salaries and fringe benefits totaled $187 million or 30% of total expenses in 2012-13. These expenses declined $7 million or 4% from $194 million in 2010-11. $3 million of utility expense savings combined with an $8 million utility debt payoff in 2010-11 contributed to a $16 million or 13% drop in contractual services offset by a rise in equipment and maintenance of $8 million.

Net Results from Core Operating Activities The net results from core operating activities significantly recovered in 2012-13 after years of declines since 2008-09, as displayed in Chart 7.

2012-13 resulted in a net operating increase of $48 million compared to a net increase of $22

million in 2008-09.

2013 Financial Overview 7

Although State tax dollar support sharply declined since 2008-09, revenues in 2012-13 jumped by $64 million or 10% from 2008-09 because of strong growth in tuition, student fees, sales and services, facility and administrative cost recovery and increased transfers from affiliated entities.

Expenses increased from 2008-09 by $38 million or 6% fueled by a combined rise in salaries and employee fringe benefits totaling $35 million.

The total available balances grew $54.6 million or 26.2% from $208.7 million in 2008-09 to $263.3 million in 2012-13 primarily due to:

An increase of $43.2 million or 153.3% in facility and administrative (F&A) cost recovery balances produced by the consistent growth in revenue and decline in expenditures from this funding source in recent years resulting from UB’s focus on utilizing State balances over other funds.

A $42.9 million or 102.3% rise in State reimbursables balances created mainly by significant

reductions in expenditures from IFR and DIFR funds in 2011-12 and a 23.7% jump in combined IFR and SUTRA revenues in 2012-13. SUNY’s cash reserve policy, implemented June 30, 2011, for IFR and SUTRA accounts recommends cash be maintained based on a range of 10% to 25% of operating expenditures.

Growth in UB Foundation balances of $32.8 million or 41.1% from a transfer of available balances

for State endowment accounts in 2009-10, increase in rental income from Greiner Hall that opened in August 2011 and a substantial drop of $11.1 million in expenditures in 2012-13 from 2011-12.

A reduction of $63.7 million or 122.9% from $51.8 million in 2008-09 in State operating available

balances. UB utilized these reserves as substantial State imposed budget cuts began in 2009-10 and continued through 2011-12. State operating balances were over-expended in both 2011-12 and 2012-13. IFR cash balances were utilized to support the over-expenditures. Chart 8 and Table 1 display the deficit balances before the utilization of IFR balances.

State Appropriation UB receives State appropriation to support its core operating budget from a combination of State tax dollar support and revenues from tuition and certain other sources (revenue targets). Chart 9 presents the State appropriation supported by combined tax dollars and campus revenues from 2008-09 through 2012-13. Detailed analysis of these two components of the State appropriation is provided later in this section. The State appropriation components dramatically shifted since 2008-09 as a result of limited State resources and tuition revenue growth. Notable changes in 2012-13 were:

Appropriation of $355.2 million fell $13.1 million or 3.6% from $368.3 million in 2008-09.

Appropriation reversed the downward trend growing $11.1 million or 3.2% from 2011-12.

Tax dollar support dropped to 42% of the total appropriation, down 15% from 57% in 2008-09.

Campus revenues grew $49.2 million, but fell short in covering a cut in tax dollars of $62.3 million since 2008-09.

% Change - -2.9% -3.0% -0.9% 3.2%

State Appropriation Supported by Tax Dollars The State appropriation supported strictly by State tax dollars is reported in Chart 10 and Table 2 for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2009 through 2013. The State tax dollar support is categorized as support for the base budget, salary increases and utilities. This analysis excludes appropriation provided by the State for employee fringe benefit costs, which are funded and paid directly by the State. Tax dollar support significantly declined from 2008-09 by $62.3 million or 29.5% to $149.2 million in 2012-13. Following is the five year change in the three components from 2008-09:

Base budget dropped $71.3 million or 78.0%.

Salary increase funding for the State’s negotiated salary increases provided to employees was up $8.7 million or 9.1%.

Utilities funding increased $347 thousand or 1.4%.

Research Foundation (RF) revenue tithe (effective 2009-10). Discontinued July 1, 2012. Beginning July 1, 2012, the other revenues target no longer included DIFR overhead, revenues from other fees and the RF revenue tithe in order to accommodate an increase in the tuition revenue target. Except for the RF revenue tithe, which was eliminated, the DIFR overhead and fee revenue were moved to the Income Fund Reimbursable fund. State appropriation supported by campus revenues in 2012-13 rose $49.2 million or 31.3% since 2008-09. Consistent increases in the tuition revenue target were necessary to partially offset the substantial decline in tax dollar support.

University-wide Programs Appropriations

In addition to State appropriations received to support UB’s core operating budget, UB receives appropriations earmarked for specific purposes. A portion of the university-wide appropriations benefitting UB is accounted for on the financial records of SUNY rather than UB’s records and are not reported in the Statement of Revenues and Expenses for Core Operating Activities on page 19. Chart 12 provides the appropriations received for programs that flowed through UB’s financial records and for those programs that are reported on SUNY’s financial records for a five year period. Additionally, Table 4 offers details on the various programs supported from 2008-09 through 2012-13. Funding in 2012-13 declined by 10.5% or $2.8 million from 2011-12 since the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) and Research Institute on Addictions were no longer designated as university-wide programs.

Tuition Revenue

Reported in Chart 13 and Table 5 is tuition revenue for 2008-09 through 2012-13 collected from New York State resident and nonresident students. Tuition revenue includes $9.8 million of State supported scholarship allowances. Significant changes from 2008-09 include:

2012-13 was the second year of the SUNY Board of Trustees five-year rational tuition plan. SUNY increased fall 2012 tuition rates by 6% for resident undergraduate and graduate students, 9% for resident professional programs and 10% for most nonresident programs. UB collects tuition revenues from overseas academic programs (OAP), summer session, and contract courses that are excluded from this tuition analysis. As mandated by SUNY, tuition revenues for OAP, summer session and contract courses are reported separately from regular academic-year tuition reported in Chart 13 and Table 5. In 2012-13, $16.8 million of tuition revenue was collected to support instructional activities from OAP, summer session and contract courses. Additionally, student headcount for these programs is not included in the headcount provided in Chart 14. Annual tuition rates paid by resident and nonresident students are presented in Charts 15 and 16.

Comprehensive Fee

The comprehensive fee is a consolidation of campus-required fees paid by students attending UB unless they meet waiver requirements. The components of the comprehensive fee include the following: college, transportation, technology, campus life, health service, transcript and athletics (undergraduate day students only). Table 6 provides a list of the annual rates charged to a full-time undergraduate student by component and Chart 17 illustrates the growth in comprehensive fee revenue over a 5 year period. The college fee component is excluded from Chart 17 because the revenue collected is transferred to the State University of New York and is redistributed to UB as State appropriation dollars. The generous rise in comprehensive fee revenue is mostly due to the increase in the rate offset by a minimal decline in students of 0.5% from 2008-09 as reflected in Chart 14 on page 14.

Residence Halls and Apartments Revenue

Combined revenue from residence halls and apartments is the largest component of auxiliary enterprises operating revenue presented in Charts 1 and 2, found in the Financial Highlights section beginning on page 3, and on the Statement of Revenues and Expenses for Core Operating Activities on page 19. Other activity reported in auxiliary enterprises revenue includes sales and services for food services, campus store operations, intercollegiate athletics and transportation.

Revenue from residence halls is accounted for in Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable (DIFR) State accounts while revenue from on-campus apartment rentals is administered through the University at Buffalo Foundation Faculty-Student Housing Corporation. UB offers a wide variety of on-campus housing options at various costs that are designed around the needs of the students.

Since 2008-09 total revenue from residence halls and apartments grew $10.9 million or 22.9% to $58.7 million in 2012-13, as reflected in Chart 18. Housing rate increases in 2010-11, following no increases in the previous two years, combined with the opening of Greiner Hall in 2011-12 accounted for the growth. Room rates for residence halls increased 5.4% from 2011-12 to primarily support campus initiatives and residential building maintenance.

Activity Revenues

Various activities conducted at UB produce revenues that are used to enhance UB’s operations. The revenues are accounted for in Income Fund Reimbursable accounts and in agency accounts in the UB Foundation (UBF), Research Foundation (RF) and Campus Dining & Shops (CDS). Those activities are grouped into 5 categories:

Sales and services revenue generating activities include rentals (excluding housing), computer store sales, continuing education, dental clinics, and inventions and licenses. Chart 19 displays the activity revenues received by campus units beginning in 2008-09 through 2012-13. Activity revenues totaled $114.7 million in 2012-13, which was $13.5 million or 13.4% greater than $101.2 million in 2008-09. Principal reasons for the net increase were:

Miscellaneous student fees revenue rose $7.8 million or 130.9% due to higher fee rates and the introduction of the Academic Excellence and Success Fee in spring 2012.

Sales and services revenue strengthened by $6.1 million or 9.4% due to:

Growth in continuing education revenue of $8.1 million or 281.4%.

Higher rates charged by departments for sales and services that contributed $6.2 million.

Decline in computer store sales of $8 million or 63.0% mostly from decreased demand in hardware sold at the UBMicro store that closed in June 2012.

Facility and Administrative (F&A) Cost Recovery

Sponsored research programs generate two types of costs: direct costs and F&A costs (indirect costs). The F&A costs incurred by UB for accepting the sponsored research cannot be assigned easily and accurately to specific programs and therefore are calculated as a fixed percentage of all or a portion of a program’s direct costs. The calculated amount is recovered by UB and is used to support decanal units, several administrative units, research incentive programs, and various other financial commitments, as well as cover an annual administrative assessment by the Research Foundation (RF). Chart 20 portrays the trend in F&A cost recovery earned net and gross of the RF annual assessment. Net F&A cost recovery collected in 2012-13 was $31.8 million, which was $2.3 million or 7.7% higher than the amount collected in 2008-09 of $29.5 million. Factors contributing to the minimal increase were:

$776 thousand collected in 2012-13 on federal research awards funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.

Growth in direct costs, excluding funds from ARRA, of $1.6 million or 1.5% from 2008-09. Consistent federal F&A cost recovery rate of 58.5% for the five year period.

The F&A cost recovery reported in Chart 1 on page 3 represents the amount received rather than earned as reported in the previous paragraph. In 2012-13, the RF paid UB $35.2 million of the net F&A cost recovery earned that consisted of $8.4 million due from 2011-12 and $26.8 million from 2012-13. The RF will pay the 2012-13 balance of $5.0 million to UB in 2013-14.

Endowment and Similar Investments

UB Foundation’s (UBF) endowment consists of approximately 1,100 individual funds established for a variety of purposes, including both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by UBF’s Board of Trustees to function as endowments. UBF’s Trustee Investment Committee supervises the management of UB’s endowment assets with the primary investment objective to maximize total investment return while preserving the inflation-adjusted purchasing power of the portfolio and providing a predictable stream of funding to programs. A professional consultant and investment managers share in the administration of the portfolio, with performance monitored by the investment committee. UBF targets a diversified asset allocation to achieve its long-term objectives within prudent risk parameters. Table 7 reports the market value and activity for UB’s endowment fund from 2008-09 through 2012-13. Additions to the endowment fund are predominantly contributions from donors while the amounts in the withdrawals column primarily represent dollars made available for spending to various UB units.

General University Service Fee

A general university service fee (GUSF) of 13% is charged on external revenues that are deposited into State Income Fund Reimbursable (IFR), University at Buffalo Foundation (UBF), Research Foundation (RF) and Campus Dining & Shops (CDS) accounts. GUSF is not applied to gifts, sponsored programs and CDS corporate activity. Chart 23 presents GUSF collections by entity from 2008-09 through 2012-13. Total GUSF collected escalated by $11.5 million or 199.0% to $17.3 million in 2012-13 from $5.8 million in 2008-09. This significant rise is explained by:

Increases in the GUSF rate of 3% on July 1, 2010 and November 1, 2011. Constant growth in annual student fee revenue in the State IFR accounts.

Sponsored Research Expenditure Activity

UB is a research-intensive public university that utilizes two fiscal agents to administer its sponsored research grants and contracts as illustrated below:

Although direct sponsored research activity is not included in the core operating statements, it is included in UB’s financial statements. Sponsored research expenditure activity as displayed in Chart 24 and Table 9 is summarized as follows:

2012-13 expenditures of $150.4 million were $6.0 million or 4.2% greater than the amount in 2008-09 of $144.4 million.

Funding from the federal government’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) accounted for $2.5 million of this increase, without which the increase would have been 2.5%.

Expenditures in 2012-13 dropped $6.7 million from $157.1 million in 2011-12 due to ARRA funding falling $7.1 million or 74.3%.

Other sponsors include foreign sponsors, non-profit organizations and those that cannot be easily categorized into the other sponsor types.

Each year the National Science Foundation (NSF) conducts a survey of research and development expenditures at colleges and universities across the country. Expenditures reported in this survey include not only the externally funded research reported in Chart 24 and Table 9, but also research supported by various institutional funds and research conducted by UB faculty at affiliated institutions (CUBRC, Inc., Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, Kaleida Health, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and the Veterans Affairs of Western New York Healthcare System from 2007-08 through 2009-10). The total expenditures for 2012-13 reported to the NSF were $385.0 million.

Economic Impact

The economy of the Buffalo-Niagara region benefits in many ways from UB’s educational and research activities conducted at its three campuses. The region also profits from UB’s capital projects as it purchases structures, constructs new buildings and renovates existing buildings that currently number 181 across its three campuses. UB’s Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach (STOR) promotes economic revitalization to the region by transferring technology developed at UB to the business community and has assisted in launching new companies through its incubator program. The combined expense activity from UB entities, as listed in the column labeled “Economic Impact” of Table 10 on page 27, was used to calculate the direct economic impact.

Components of Report Defined

The Overview of Financial Activities (Overview) provides key financial information for the campus, focusing on operating activities directly controlled by campus management. This is in contrast to the financial statements of the campus, which includes entities that are closely affiliated with the campus and campus management may not have direct control over the operations. Furthermore, UB’s economic impact on the Buffalo-Niagara region, discussed on page 25, includes activities from independent organizations that the University has a close association with. In Table 10, the components of the Statement of Revenues and Expenses for Core Operating Activities on page 19 of the Overview are compared to the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets on page 3 of UB’s Annual Financial Statements for fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (Appendix) and UB’s economic impact results. A list and description of components or entities included in the Overview, UB’s financial statements, and economic impact section are provided in the following paragraphs and table. New York State budget components supporting UB’s core operations that are contained in the Overview include the following:

State Operating Budget which is a combination of support from State tax dollars and campus revenues from tuition and certain other sources. Also, included are other earmarked State funds.

Income Fund Reimbursable (IFR) and State University Tuition Reimbursable Account (SUTRA) which are self-supporting funds that provide educational and related activities to students and clients from fee, service and tuition revenue.

Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable (DIFR) which is a self-supporting fund used to administer room rental fees and charges.

Other components supporting UB’s core operations that are included in the Overview are:

University at Buffalo Foundation (UBF) agency, endowment income, and unrestricted gifts used to support and promote the educational and public service mission of UB. Companies included in the report are UBF, Inc., UBF Activities, Inc. and UBF Faculty-Student Housing Corporation.

Research Foundation (RF) dollars managed by UB generated from facility and administrative (F&A) cost recovery from sponsored programs and agency service fees.

Campus Dining & Shops (CDS) agency funds expended by campus departments for operating activities.

The following restricted revenue that cannot be used for day-to-day operating activities and financial activity of closely affiliated entities are not included in the balances reported in the Overview, but are included in UB’s financial statements and economic impact amounts:

Capital Budget activities tracked in the State University of New York (SUNY) Construction Fund system that includes construction in progress, capitalized interest and depreciation of assets.

Research activities funded from external contracts and grants administered through the RF for SUNY and UBF Services, Inc.

UBF restricted activities (UBF Corporation, endowment investments, and various property corporations).

Dining, retail, vending, campus identification cards, and catering services provided by CDS. Operations of independent organizations that are included in the amounts reported only in the economic impact section are:

Medical and dental services extended to patients by UB faculty through the Clinical Practice Plans. University Dental Resident Services PC and University Medical Resident Services PC. Student associations and clubs such as the Graduate Student Association, Medical Student Polity, and

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Reporting Entities

The State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is comprised of various entities/components that are

closely affiliated with UB and therefore are included within the campus financial statements. Decisions

on which entities/components to include were based on one or more of the following criteria: (a) is the

University financially accountable for the organization, (b) does the organization receive or hold

economic resources that are significant to and for the direct benefit of the University or its constituents,

(c) is the University entitled to, or can otherwise access, a majority of the economic resources received or

held by the organization, (d) is the organization fiscally dependent upon the University.

Entities/components that meet these criteria and therefore are included in the financial statements are:

State Operating dollars from the approved New York State budget.

Income Fund Reimbursable (IFR)/State University Tuition Reimbursable Account (SUTRA) activity

which is comprised of self-supporting programs providing services for students and clients and for

administering other charged tuition and fees in excess of what is needed to support the state budget.

These accounts include fees for contract courses and summer sessions.

Construction fund dollars include State and The Research Foundation for SUNY assets that are

tracked in the SUNY system along with the depreciation associated with those assets. This also

includes State construction in progress and capitalized interest.

University at Buffalo Foundation (UBF) whose purpose is to support and promote the educational,

research and public service mission of the University.

The Research Foundation for SUNY (RF) is a private, nonprofit educational corporation that

administers externally funded contracts and grants for and on behalf of SUNY.

Auxiliary enterprises:

Campus Dining & Shops (CDS) whose purpose is to provide, for the benefit of the

campus community, dining services, retail services, vending services, campus ID cards

and catering services.

Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable (DIFR), a self-supporting fund used to

administer dormitory (residence hall) rental fees and charges.

These unaudited financial statements are prepared from information received from the entities listed

above, which includes audited financial statements from UBF and CDS. The balance of the financial

numbers included in this statement is unaudited. Supplemental schedules include financial information

by funding entity.

2. Fiscal Years

The campus financial statements incorporate a twelve-month period for all entities. These entities

operate under different fiscal periods. The following schedule provides the fiscal year end of the entities

included in these financial statements:

Funding type Fiscal year end

State-held funds:

State Operating June 30th

IFR/SUTRA June 30th

Dormitory IFR June 30th

3. Limitation of Consolidated Campus Financial Statements

Component parts of the campus financial statements have been audited by independent public accounting

firms; however, the consolidation of these statements has not. While an attempt has been made to

eliminate inter-entity transactions to the extent practical, it is possible that there exists some duplication

of financial information that does not materially distort the accuracy of the financial statements.

4. Use of Estimates

In preparing the financial statements certain information was not available either from the State

University Construction Fund or from SUNY System Administration. This required the use of estimates

in order to present the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates and will be reflected in next year’s financial

statements.

5. Fringe Benefits

Employee fringe benefits (i.e., health insurance, worker’s compensation, retirement and post-retirement

benefits) are paid by the State on behalf of UB for employees funded through State Operating accounts.

Other State-held funding sources such as IFR and SUTRA along with non-State entities, as outlined in

Note 1, pay their own fringe benefits costs. The fringe benefits amount for UB employees paid by State

Operating funds is calculated by taking the fringe benefits rate which is determined by the State, and

applying it to total eligible personal service and temporary service costs incurred. These imputed costs

are included in the financial statements.

6. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent University at Buffalo funds held in the short-term investment pool

(STIP) in the State Treasury or in local depositories by the various entities included in these statements.

The following schedule summarizes cash and cash equivalents by funding source:

2013 2012

State-held funds:

State Operating ($294,634) $878,747

IFR/SUTRA 70,601,194 55,410,708

Dormitory IFR 5,527,086 7,991,296

The Research Foundation for SUNY 70,532,901 58,405,294

University at Buffalo Foundation 29,757,211 29,484,700

Campus Dining & Shops 7,350,160 6,378,235

Total $183,473,918 $158,548,980

Campus Dining & Shops (CDS) has approximately $680,436 and $230,129 in their agency accounts for

the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. CDS is the custodian of these funds that

have been raised by various campus units that are associated with, but not controlled by, CDS. Such

funds are disbursed at the instructions of the particular campus unit that controls them.

The Research Foundation for SUNY (RF) has two pools of cash, unrestricted (non-sponsored) and

restricted (sponsored). Unrestricted cash represents the majority of the balance and consists of facilities

and administrative (indirect) cost recovery dollars that were not spent at the end of the fiscal year.

Restricted cash is the consolidated balance of payments to the University by sponsors in excess of

current expenditures for sponsored research projects.

A portion of the cash falls under the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No.

40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosure. This includes deposits held by UB that are not covered by

depository insurance and are (a) uncollateralized; (b) collateralized with securities held by a pledging

financial institution; or (c) collateralized with securities held by a pledging financial institution’s trust

department or agency. The table below summarizes the cash that falls under the GASB No. 40

disclosure rules. These are only for funds held by the State or CDS. Other agencies included in these

financial statements follow Financial Accounting Standards Board rules and are not included in this

analysis.

Category A Category B Category C Total

Cash and Cash Equivalents: $180,139 $6,767,152 $0 $6,947,291

7. Accounts and Notes Receivable

Accounts and notes receivable totaled $49,680,305 and $46,601,557 for the fiscal years ended June 30,

2013 and 2012, respectively. This was net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $11,695,810 and

$10,923,949 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Depending upon the

funding source these receivables occurred for a number of different reasons.

State and auxiliary enterprises receivables occur due to student billings for tuition, fees, and room and

board payments. Research receivables arise from sponsored awards where the expenditures exceed the

cash received whether the difference is billed to the sponsor or not billed yet.

The only notes receivable are student loans awarded from the former State-held endowment fund. These

notes have various interest rates and repayment terms.

Certain entities carry an allowance for doubtful accounts on their balance sheet. This amount is

calculated in different ways depending on the funding source. Each entity writes off balances during the

year as they are deemed uncollectible which, in most cases, is based upon the aging of the receivables.

8. Other Receivables

The majority of other receivables consist of contributions receivable within UBF. These contributions

represent unconditional promises to give. An allowance of $200,000 for uncollectible contributions is

estimated for these receivables which are summarized below:

Contributions Receivable: 2013 2012

Unconditional promises expected to be collected in:

Less than one year $27,154,975 $13,433,985

One year to five years 8,033,039 17,363,287

Greater than five years 1,450,734 985,524

36,638,748 31,782,796

Less:

Discount to present value (570,114) (636,399)

Allowance for uncollectible contributions receivable (250,000) (200,000)

$35,818,634 $30,946,397

As of June 30, 2013, UBF has also received bequest intentions and revocable trusts that management

estimates will approximate $59 million. These intentions and conditional promises to give are not

recognized as assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Amounts received under

these conditional promises to give will generally be restricted for specific purposes stipulated by the

donors, primarily endowments for faculty support, scholarships, and general operating support of

particular departments and divisions of the University.

UB has committed Research Foundation (RF) funds to be used for a term loan and extension of credit to

UB Associates Inc. (UBA) with the following terms:

Term loan – The loan is unsecured and in the amount of $11 million. It was repaid via interest until

May 2012 and then principal and interest from June 2012 through May 2017. The loan’s outstanding

balance was $8.8 million as of June 30, 2013.

Extension of credit – The extension of credit is unsecured and is in the amount of $2.9 million. Its

outstanding balance as of June 30, 2013 was $2.32 million.

9. Endowment and Other Investments

Investments of UB are recorded at fair value with the majority of them being long-term. Investment

income is reported net of investment fees. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets.

The Research Foundation maintains a diverse investment portfolio and with respect to debt instruments,

has a policy of investing primarily in high quality securities. Investments are held with the investment

custodian in the Research Foundation’s name and could not be broken out by campus for these

statements. Therefore, the Research Foundation’s investment balances could not be shown in the asset

section nor could the unrealized or realized gains be recorded in the Statement of Revenues and

Expenses.

10. Inventory

The composition of inventory depends upon the entity being examined. For the entities covered within

these financial statements, inventory consists of food, beverage, store inventory, dental supplies and

chemicals. Inventory is stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

11. Property, Plant and Equipment

Fixed assets are either stated at historical cost if purchased or at fair market value at date of receipt if

acquired by gift. Fixed assets are shown net of accumulated depreciation of $893,284,502 and

$863,289,268 as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The majority of the University depreciates its

assets using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful life. In general, the buildings and

components are depreciated between 25-50 years, capital equipment, furniture, and fixtures lives range

from 4 to 15 years and library acquisitions are depreciated over 10 years.

There continues to be a one year lag between the Property, Plant and Equipment amounts recorded here

in these statements due to the availability of the SUNY figures for our University. SUNY’s numbers are

finalized in the spring of the following year, while the numbers used for these statements are compiled in

the fall, after the fiscal year closes (fiscal year 2012-13 numbers are available in March 2014, so fiscal

year 2011-12 numbers are used instead).

12. Other Assets

Fine art collections are included within the other assets reported in the financial statements and are

valued at $10,025,754 and $9,854,042 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

These assets make up the majority of the University’s other assets.

14. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)

SUNY, in compliance with GASB 45, records their annual liability and expense for Other Post-

Employment Benefits (OPEB) on their financial statements. These benefits, as defined by GASB 45,

include “postemployment healthcare, as well as other forms of postemployment benefits (for example,

life insurance) when provided separately from a pension plan.”

Since GASB 45 calls for disclosure and recognition of these benefits and there is a large portion of

SUNY’s OPEB costs that are unfunded by the State, the University at Buffalo’s portion of the liability

for these benefits has been recorded within these financial statements. The annual amounts of the

unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) are recorded in other long-term liabilities with the offset

being booked to expenses. The expense amount was allocated to the functional expense classifications

consistent with the fringe benefit rate applied to personal service costs. The OPEB liability amounted to

$55,133,725 for 2012-13 and $57,196,478 for 2011-12. The amount attributable to the University is

obtained from SUNY and is based on the University’s share of personal service costs.

The accumulated liability for the University at Buffalo as of June 30, 2013 was $389,979,721.

15. Commitments

UB and its affiliated entities committed to numerous operating leases covering real property and

equipment. Rental expenditures reported for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 under such

operating leases were approximately $2,350,561 and $1,915,822 respectively. The following is a

summary of rental commitments under non-cancelable real property and equipment leases with terms

exceeding one year:
