    Project Analysis and Staff RecommendationNational Underground Railroad Freedom Center- Memorandum ofUnderstanding for Construction ReimbursementCommission Assessment Team: Tony Capaci, project manager

    National Underground Railroad Freedom Center Cincinnati, Hamilton County

    Project Sponsor Information

    Sponsor: National Underground Railroad Freedom Center (NURFC or the Sponsor)

    Type: Ohio nonprofit corporation since May 1995

    Background: The Society states, the mission of the National Underground Railroad FreedomCenter is to reveal stories about freedom's heroes, from the era of theUnderground Railroad to contemporary times, challenging and inspiring everyoneto take courageous steps for freedom today.

    Under NURFCs current operating structure, sustainability is an issue.

    NURFC is working with the federal government to establish a federal museumand oversight commission to commemorate the ending of chattel slavery in theUnited States. A discussion draft of this legislation was completed in October2009. Preliminary terms include the gifting of the facility to the United Statesgovernment and the United States government, via an appointed board oftrustees, operating the facility in cooperation with the Secretary of the Interior andother federal agencies. This legislation is not expected to be approved for at least12 months.

    According to NURFC officials, the plan would call for the existing bond debt to betransferred to another yet-to-beestablished entity, unsecured, leaving the facilitydebt-free (a condition of the federal transfer).

    As this legislation progresses through the legislative process, Commission staffwill work with the Sponsor, bond counsel and our bond issuer to ensure thestates interests are protected. Because there are many details to be worked out,Commission staff is recommending the Commission enter into a memorandum ofunderstanding with the Sponsor, which outlines the terms and conditions under

    which the state capital funds would be paid, and that the Sponsor appear at afuture Commission meeting when the conditions are met.

    At this time, the Commission is being asked to approve a Memorandum ofUnderstanding that will outline the conditions under which the currentappropriation of $850,000 would be paid out in the future.

    Solvency:An organization is solvent when assets are greater than liabilities. The Sponsor is solvent because net assetsare positive (YTD10 total assets are $87M; total liabilities are $27.4M).

    Another gauge of solvency is whether or not the institution has sufficient net assets to pay off long-term debt.The viability ratio (unrestricted net assets minus capital assets minus restricted endowments plus long-termdebt divided by total debt) measures one of the most basic determinants of clear financial health: theavailability of expendable net assets to cover debt should the institution need to settle its obligations as of theStatement of Financial Position date. A ratio in the range of 1.25 to 2.0 indicates a strong creditworthyinstitution.

    YTD09 FYE08 FYE07Viability Ratio 0.34:1 0.65:1 0.77:1

    The viability ratio is below what is considered creditworthy due to $27M in bond debt and only $10Min liquid assets (the book value of the building is $76M of total assets of $87M).

    During YTD09 the sponsor liquidated $18M in investments and paid off $19M in bonds as part of anegotiated settlement when the Sponsor failed to meet bank covenants (see the following Leverage section).

    Liquidity:Liquidity relates to availability of, access to or convertibility to cash. A test of liquidity is current ratio (currentassets divided by current liabilities), which indicates how many times over the entity can pay its currentliabilities with its current assets. (Note:Restricted current assets were not used to calculate the current ratiobecause they generally are not available to service current liabilities. Including restricted current assets in thecalculation could have the effect of artificially inflating the current ratio.) A current ratio of greater than 1:1 isconsidered acceptable.

    YTD09 FYE08 FYE07Current Ratio 10.8:1 7.2:1 10.3:1

    The current ratio is high due to nearly $3.7M in pledges receivable which, per the Sponsor, are not restrictedand are available for operations once collected.

    The Sponsors YTD09 working capital is $4M. Days of cash-on-hand (an indication of how many days anorganization can pay expenses if its revenue stream ceases) at 12, is significantly lower than the 30-daynorm.

    The YTD09 cash balance is only $252K while current liabilities are $408K, causing a potential operationalcash flow problem.

    Leverage:

    Leverage is the degree to which a sponsor is borrowing money. A measure of leverage is debt ratio (debtdivided by total assets).

    YTD09, the Sponsors total assets are $87M and total debts are $27M. The debt ratio, which indicates whatproportion of debt an organization has relative to its assets, is 31 percent. This means that for every $1.00 ofassets, the Sponsor has $0.31 in debt.

    YTD09 FYE08 FYE07Debt Ratio 31% 42% 40%

    YTD09Debt Ratio without building 271%value included

    The sponsors debt consists of:

    Bonds payable of $27M adjusted rate demand revenue bonds, require sinking fund payments of$10M per year from 2034-2038 (bear interest at variable market rate ranging from 0.2% to .7% in2009).

    Reimbursement agreements related to the letter of credit no longer require the Sponsor to make annualprincipal reductions until the bond sinking fund payments start or the letter of credit agreements areamended.

    NURFC did not meet ongoing bank covenant requirements at either measurement (June 30 or December 31,2008) and rather than call the letter of credit, the bank required the Sponsor to pay off $19M in local bonddebt by liquidating investments, and then the bank extended a revised letter of credit. The letter of creditcurrently extends to July 2010, with prior instances of noncompliance waived.

    Change in Net Assets:Change in net assets examines changes over several years to see where an entity is headed.

    Significant unrealized losses in FYE08 ($2.4M) occurred. However, the prognostics for investment marketsare now more favorable and recouping a portion of the past unrealized losses is probable going forward. TheSponsor is operating at pre- and post-depreciation losses. Individual contributions are down by over $1.2M.

    A pro forma review is a projection showing anticipated expenses and revenues for the period.

    The Sponsors submitted pro forma assumes enactment of the proposed federal legislation to transfer title ofthe facility to the federal government, as well as transferring the bulk of the bonds payable to a second entity.The proposal calls for the bonds to be unsecured. In FYE11, revenues increase $4M to $8.4M due tooperating subsidies by the federal government, and interest expense decreases to $222K because bondspayable have been transferred. The result is a projected pre-depreciation surplus in FYE11 and beyond. I t isclear that without the federal transfer and subsidies, the organization is not sustainable.

    Although the Commission approved the Determination of Need on October 9, 2001, in resolution R-01-26, the Sponsors financial condition has changed significantly for the worse since then. Prior tothe expenditure of these new state capital funds, the Sponsor must demonstrate a viable businessmodel. The Sponsor has indicated it plans to do so through federalization of the facility.

    A review of the Sponsors solvency, liquidity, leverage, change in net assets and pro forma indicates it isunlikely the Sponsor will be able to operate the Facility and present culture to the public over a sustainedperiod of time in accordance with Section 3383.07 of the ORC unless the proposed arrangement with thefederal government is put in place.

    See Exhibit E for a summary of the Sponsors financial statements.

    Regional Support

    Matching ResourcesThe Sponsor demonstrated a minimum of non-state matching resources equal to at least 50 percent ofthe total state funding of $15,500,000 (a minimum of $7,750,000). Matching resources weresubstantiated in November 2008. On October 9, 2001, Substantial Regional Support was confirmed bythe Commission in resolution R-01-26.

    R-01-26, the Project is no longerFully Funded. In order for the new state capital funds to be paid out,the Sponsor must demonstrate that the Project is Fully Funded. Since the Sponsor did not meet bankcovenants in 2008, the bank required the Sponsor to sell $19M in investments to pay down the localbond balance. The $7.75M unsubstantiated funds listed in the table below were the projectedinvestment income from these $19M in investments that were sold.

    Provision of General Building Services

    Although experienced in the provision of general building services at the Facility, the Sponsor hasmarginal financial capacity to continue providing general building services at the Facility. Inanticipation of the Sponsor completing the proposed Facility transfer to the federal government,Commission staff conditionally confirms the Sponsor continue to provide these services as permittedby section 3383.07 of the ORC.

    Conditions of Approval

    Recommendation: The materials submitted by the Sponsor were reviewed and analyzed, and theCommission project analyst, project managers, assistant director for project services, and executivedirector recommend approval of Resolution R-10-04 with the following conditions:

    Yes, we do have internally generated statements through October (we recd after exhibit E was completed) however,

    we often times use financials six months out. It is when it goes beyond six months we typically require updates. Our

    conclusion based on the October financials is the same as is our conclusion based on the June financials (Nurfc is

    not sustainable) In the case of NURFC the financials from June October do not necessarily add much value. Nurfc

    continues to lose money and we deem them unsustainable without federalization. If they obtain a guarantor that

    would also be acceptable. Let me know if you want me to update Exhibit E and the PASR through October.Thanks

    Should this just be "a status report" or is info missing?

    Did the CLG agree to do the review even though the building was relocated? If not, they wont be able to meet this

    condition.BW-if the result of the sponsor requesting clg review is that they wont review it, for whatever reason,that satisfies this condition. This is the same way we have been handling any historic reviews with OHPO. If this

    doesnt work for you, please let me know.

    This is a confusing collection of some irrelevant, and some that should be in the MOU. Are any of the required

    prior to signing an MOU? Need to be clear as to what is needed when. BW handled w/ new comments

    Page 8: [29] Comment [kf15] Kathy Fox 1/ 12/2010 9:15:00 AM

    Are these conditions that go in the MOU and must be met prior to NURFC seeking final Commission approval? Or

    are these conditions that must be met prior to signing the MOU? Need to clarify that it is the former. Ditto from

    Page 8: [32] Comment [kf18] Kathy Fox 1/ 13/2010 9:04:00 AMThis is confusing. There is history as to why they were fully funded before but are no longer. None of the helpful
