The University is required to submit its budget to the General Assembly for approval as a part ofthe State Budget. If a State Budget has not been enacted by the date principal of or interest on the Bondsis due, the University would not have the budgetary authority to make that principal or interest payment.The pledge of General Receipts by the University described herein is independent of the State Budgetprocess.

Students. In Fall 2014, the University had 30,131 undergraduate, graduate, and professionalstudents. They represent all 120 Kentucky counties, every state in the U.S. and over 100 countries.Enrollment has increased 3,692 students (14%) since Fall 2005.
Programs. The University offers more than 200 majors and degree programs in 17 academic andprofessional colleges that are supported by a comprehensive research library system. UK is one of onlyeight public universities nationally to house colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, Medicine and Pharmacyon a single contiguous campus.
Research. Total research expenditures, as reported to the National Science Foundation, totaled$328.2 million for fiscal year 2013-14, compared to $339.8 million in 2012-13. Research awardsreceived during fiscal year 2014-15 total $285.1 million, a 10% increase from the prior year amount of$259.3 million.
Outreach. As Kentucky’s flagship, land-grant university, UK engages citizens and communitiesacross the state in a myriad of ways, including extension offices in all 120 Kentucky counties; continuingeducation opportunities for teachers, lawyers and health care providers; clinics providing legal,pharmaceutical and health care assistance; and a multitude of research efforts aimed at Kentucky’s mostdifficult problems in economic development, health care, infrastructure and education.
Medical Centers. UK HealthCare, a trademarked brand used by the University of Kentucky forits health care services, is uniquely equipped to provide advanced subspecialty care to the people ofKentucky. The academic medical center and health system provides patient care on par – in terms of bothvolume and complexity – with the nation’s top 25% of academic medical centers. In October 2013, UKHealthCare was named a “Rising Star” by the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) for gainsmade in quality, safety, efficiency and equity of care. This and other notable achievements are listed athttp://ukhealthcare.uky.edu/quality/awards/.
UK HealthCare Hospital System operates two hospital units under one Joint CommissionAccreditation and two licenses in addition to ambulatory services. The major service units include AlbertB. Chandler Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital and the Kentucky Clinic. The hospitals have a combinedtotal of 826 licensed beds with an average daily census of 698 patients. On a monthly basis, the systemprovides over 1,257 inpatient surgeries, 1,343 outpatient surgeries, 31,649 radiology procedures, 8,450emergency department visits and 111,307 hospital based outpatient clinic visits.
Under a management contract entered into with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and FamilyServices (CHFS), UK HealthCare Hospital System also operates and manages Eastern State Hospital, a300,000 square-foot facility located on the University’s Coldstream Research Campus. Eastern StateHospital provides a modern setting for both acute and long-term inpatient psychiatric treatment for adultsliving within Fayette County and the 50 surrounding counties.
UK HealthCare’s Markey Cancer Center remains the state’s only cancer center designated by theNational Cancer Institute (NCI), which reflects UK’s position as a frontrunner in cancer treatment andresearch. UK HealthCare is one of an elite group of only 22 medical centers in the United States that have
9
NCI designation, a federally funded Center on Aging, and a highly prized Clinical and TranslationalScience Award grant (CTSA).
UK HealthCare’s dramatic growth within the last decade is in large part the result of acommitment to support the state’s overall system of care by working hand-in-hand with local communityproviders to bring specialty care closer to the patient. These relationships take on different dimensions ineach locality (management agreements, affiliate networks, outreach, etc.) and support keeping less acutecare in the local community and smoothing the process for more complex, serious cases to be treated inUK HealthCare’s Lexington facilities. The goal is better care at all points of the continuum.
Libraries. UK operates a nationally recognized research library system, with the capstone beingthe world-class William T. Young Library. UK’s book endowment is the largest among publicuniversities. Its library network and technology provide extraordinary service to students in the collegesof Medicine, Law, Engineering, Fine Arts and other programs. Meanwhile, students, faculty andKentucky residents can use UK Libraries’ advanced technology to access the most up-to-date informationfrom online journals, government publications and private studies.

The project, with an estimated cost of $25.2 million, is
10
on land owned by the University and leased to EdR for a 50 year term with options for additional 10 yearand 15 year terms thereafter. At the conclusion of the initial 50 year term or the first renewal option, theUniversity will be required to purchase the buildings from EdR for an appraised value, unless the groundlease is renewed for the first or second optional extension. At the conclusion of the second optionalextension, the University is required to purchase the buildings for the greater of current net book value or$10. Ground rent is a percentage of gross revenues.

These eight facilities are exempt from ad valoremtax. The University will account for the lease as a service concession arrangement in accordance withGASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements.

TAX MATTERS
General
In the opinion of Bond Counsel for the Series 2016 Bonds, based upon an analysis of existinglaws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, interest on the 2016 Series A Bonds is excludible fromgross income for federal income tax purposes and interest on the 2016 Series A Bonds is not a specificitem of tax preference under Section 57 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) for purposesof the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes. Interest on the Series 2016 B Bonds isnot excludable from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, Bond Counsel for theSeries 2016 Bonds is of the opinion that interest on the Series 2016 Bonds is exempt from income
11
taxation by the Commonwealth and the Series 2016 Bonds are exempt from ad valorem taxation by theCommonwealth and any of its political subdivisions.
A copy of the opinion of Bond Counsel for the Series 2016 Bonds is set forth in APPENDIX D.
The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions, and requirements relating to the exclusionfrom gross income for Federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the 2016 Series ABonds. The University has covenanted to comply with certain restrictions designed to ensure that intereston the 2016 Series A Bonds will not be includable in gross income for Federal income tax purposes.Failure to comply with these covenants could result in interest on the 2016 Series A Bonds beingincludable in gross income for Federal income tax purposes and such inclusion could be requiredretroactively to the date of issuance of the 2016 Series A Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumescompliance with these covenants. However, Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to informany person) whether any actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the dateof issuance of the 2016 Series A Bonds may adversely affect the Federal tax status of the interest on the2016 Series A Bonds.
Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Indenture and other relevantdocuments may be changed and certain actions (including, without limitation, defeasance of the 2016Series A Bonds) may be taken or omitted under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditionsset forth in such documents. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to 2016 Series A Bonds or theinterest thereon if any such change occurs or action is taken or omitted upon the advice or approval ofbond counsel other than Dinsmore & Shohl LLP.
Although on the date the Series 2016 Bonds are issued, Bond Counsel will render an opinion thatinterest on the 2016 Series A Bonds is excludible from gross income for Federal income tax purposes andthat interest on the Series 2016 Bonds is excludible from gross income for Kentucky income tax purposes,the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2016 Bonds mayotherwise affect a Holder’s Federal, state or local tax liabilities. The nature and extent of these other taxconsequences may depend upon the particular tax status of the Holder or the Holder’s other items ofincome or deduction. For example, such effects may include, without limitation, increasing the federaltax liability of certain foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax imposed by Section 884 of theCode, increasing the federal tax liability of certain insurance companies, under Section 832 of the Code,increasing the federal tax liability and affecting the status of certain S Corporations subject to Sections1362 and 1375 of the Code, increasing the federal tax liability of certain individual recipients of SocialSecurity or the Railroad Retirement benefits under Section 86 of the Code and limiting the amount of theEarned Income Credit under Section 32 of the Code that might otherwise be available. Ownership of anyof the 2016 Series A Bonds may also result in the limitation of interest and certain other deductions forfinancial institutions and certain other taxpayers, pursuant to Section 265 of the Code. Finally, residenceof the holder of the Series 2016 Bonds in a state other than Kentucky or being subject to tax in a stateother than Kentucky may result in income or other tax liabilities being imposed by such states or theirpolitical subdivisions based on the interest or other income from the Series 2016 Bonds. Bond Counselexpresses no opinions regarding any tax consequences other than what is set forth in its opinion and eachHolder or potential Holder is urged to consult with tax counsel with respect to the effects of purchasing,holding or disposing of the Series 2016 Bonds on the tax liabilities of the individual or entity.
The University has not designated the 2016 Series A Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”pursuant to Section 265 of the Code.
Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount
The Series 2016 Bonds that have an interest rate that is lower than the yield on the Series 2016Bonds and Series 2016 Bonds that have a maturity amount that is greater than their initial principal
12
amount, all as shown on the inside cover page hereto (the “Discount Bonds”), are being offered and soldto the public at an original issue discount (“OID”). OID is the excess of the stated redemption price of abond at maturity (the face amount) over the “issue price” of such bond. The issue price is the initialoffering price to the public (other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons acting in the capacity ofunderwriters or wholesalers) at which a substantial amount of bonds of the same maturity are soldpursuant to that initial offering. For federal income tax purposes, OID on each bond will accrue over theterm of the bond, and for the Discount Bonds, the amount of accretion will be based on a single rate ofinterest, compounded semiannually (the “yield to maturity”). The amount of OID that accrues duringeach semi-annual period will do so ratably over that period on a daily basis. With respect to an initialpurchaser of a Discount Bond at its issue price, the portion of OID that accrues during the period that suchpurchaser owns the Discount Bond is added to such purchaser’s tax basis for purposes of determininggain or loss at the maturity, redemption, sale or other disposition of that Discount Bond and thus, inpractical effect, is treated as stated interest, which is (with respect to 2016 Series A Bonds) excludablefrom gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Holders of Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment of OID andthe tax consequences of the purchase of such Discount Bonds other than at the issue price during theinitial public offering and as to the treatment of OID for state tax purposes.
Tax Treatment of Original Issue Premium
“Acquisition Premium” is the excess of the cost of a bond over the stated redemption price ofsuch bond at maturity or, for bonds that have one or more earlier call dates, the amount payable at thenext earliest call date. The Series 2016 Bonds that have an interest rate that is greater than the yield, asshown on the inside cover page hereto (the “Premium Bonds”), are being initially offered and sold to thepublic at an Acquisition Premium. For federal income tax purposes, the amount of Acquisition Premiumon the 2016 Series A Bonds must be amortized and will reduce the Holder’s adjusted basis in those 2016Series A Bonds. However, no amount of amortized Acquisition Premium on 2016 Series A Bonds maybe deducted in determining Holder’s taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The amount of anyAcquisition Premium paid on the Premium Bonds, or on any of the Series 2016 Bonds, that must beamortized during any period will be based on the “constant yield” method, using the original Holder’sbasis in such bonds and compounding semiannually. This amount is amortized ratably over thatsemiannual period on a daily basis.
Holders of any Series 2016 Bonds, including any Premium Bonds, purchased at an AcquisitionPremium should consult their own tax advisors as to the actual effect of such Acquisition Premium withrespect to their own tax situation and as to the treatment of Acquisition Premium for state tax purposes.

The amounts set forth above, except for Fiscal Year 2010, are amounts actually received, which, in certain years, have been less than amounts included in the original state budget for that year. The Board presently intends, but is not obligated, to continue to seek to have funds appropriated by the General Assembly to partially support the operations of the University. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS NOT NOW OBLIGATED, NOR WILL THERE BE AN OBLIGATION IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY. IN ADDITION, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS OR HER OBLIGATION TO BALANCE THE STATE BUDGET ANNUALLY, THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ANY APPROPRIATIONS WHICH ARE MADE.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
This year, in celebration of the University of Kentucky’s 150
th
anniversary, UK Associate Professor and 2014 Kentucky Poet Laureate Frank X Walker captured the spirit of this place we love in his poem titled, “Seedtime in the Commonwealth.” "There is no vaccination against ignorance, but there is us. There is this university. And we still have heavy doors to open, unmet obligations to the land and its people. There are still leadership opportunities to advance the Commonwealth, this nation, and our world towards fulfilling its potential, towards meeting its lofty promises … Let men and women come here as seeds, let us invest in them until they form sufficient roots and leaves to obtain their own food. Let them grow from here not just trees, but a fruit-bearing, deeply-rooted forest." "There is us." There is this university. We were founded for Kentucky. Through the education we provide, the creative research we conduct, and the care and service we render, we are the university for Kentucky— the institution our Commonwealth has charged with asking and addressing the most penetrating questions confronting our state and our people, the vexations that challenge us in education, economic development, health care, and cultural, and societal advancement. Because of you, our success is evident across campus:
• At 30,131 students, UK broke its enrollment record for the fifth year in a row; and set new records for non-resident, African American, Hispanic and International student enrollment.
• The mean ACT Composite for the Fall 2014 first-year class was 25.5, and included 674 students with a 31-36 composite score – an 80% increase from 2009.
• The first-year class included 113 National Merit, National Achievement and National Hispanic Scholars, placing UK in the top 10 of public universities with these scholars.
• In the 2014-15 academic year, we awarded more than 6,400 undergraduate and graduate degrees.
• We welcomed 233 new full-time faculty.
• In FY 2014-15, UK received $285.1 million in external research grants and contracts – signifying that we are a major player among research institutions in the country.
• UK completed another historic year in philanthropy, securing record results in both gift receipts of $118.2 million, and in new commitments received of more than $168.3 million. These represent increases of 12% and 16%, respectively. UK received more than 101,200 gifts from 54,275 donors.
Our concerted effort to rebuild our campus continues. Our guiding principle – to build a community that fosters inclusivity and promotes success for the UK family – is manifest in the physical spaces that are coming to life. The University’s public/private partnership with EdR continues to make progress. In August, we completed the Woodland Glen community with residence halls III, IV and V opening to new students and living-learning programs. Phase II-C is underway for Limestone Park I and II, and the Board of Trustees recently approved Phase III – University Flats. In total, the completed and approved projects will add more than 6,500 beds across 13 facilities by Fall 2017. The investment thus far – more than $422 million – is transforming the way we house, educate and build community for our students. The Gatton College of Business and Economics completed its expansion in August, and the revitalization of the 90’s classroom wing is proceeding. The College of Fine Arts’ School of Art and Visual Studies moved into its new home on Bolivar Street. The $126.5 million Commonwealth Stadium project finished for the 2015 SEC football season, and construction on the expansion of the Nutter Training Facility continues. Progress is being made on the Academic Science Building and various projects in UK HealthCare. Both are critical to UK’s long-term academic, research and health care missions.
ii
Anchored by the largest single gift in the University’s history, and state authorization to self-finance the project, we started construction on the $175 million expansion and renovation of the Student Center. We reached important milestones in our $245 million dining partnership with Aramark. We announced the Food Connection at UK – an academic partnership with Aramark and the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment to strengthen the local food economy. Locally sourced food in our dining halls reached an all-time high, and we opened “The 90”, a modern 82,000 square foot dining facility that also provides spaces for academic programs supporting residential communities on south campus. To build on our excellence in health research that addresses the myriad public and clinical health issues in the Commonwealth, the University recently received approval from the state legislature to build a $265 million multi-disciplinary health science research facility. The facility will be financed with $132.5 million from the state and $132.5 million from various University resources. In total, over the last four years, UK has initiated – and largely self-financed – more than $1.81 billion to add or improve more than five million square feet in capital investment that enhances the academic, research, service and health care missions of the institution while maintaining a strong balance sheet and not placing a financial burden on the state. At the end of June, the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees adopted a $3.4 billion operating and capital budget that emboldens our work. This budget fundamentally represents the priorities that have directed our work thus far and our role as a flagship and land grant research university. The budget, more than mere numbers, is about people – our people. We are investing our resources toward creating access and quality for students and their families, while giving them the tools they need to succeed. And we are investing in our faculty and staff, who create an innovative and welcoming environment of learning, scholarship, healing and discovery that promises a bright future for our state. Our priorities and success have gained for us the confidence of external partners and expert analysts in our industry. At a time when other major research universities are experiencing stagnant enrollment and finances, often accompanied by negative ratings outlooks, a recent upgrade from Standard & Poor’s is a strong endorsement of our direction. In their report, S&P cited our increasing enrollment, revenue diversity aided by UK HealthCare, strong financial performance and a low debt burden as strengths for our future. Where do we go from here?
For the past several months, a leadership team, comprised of individuals from across our community, has been working in earnest to develop the UK Strategic Plan. This plan will guide our actions, and how we measure our progress, as we continue to serve the Commonwealth and the world. Our vision is grounded in and guided by five strategic objectives that mark our priorities: undergraduate student success, graduate education, diversity and inclusivity, research and scholarly work, and community engagement. Undergraduate education has always been at the heart of UK's mission, and it remains so today. All outstanding research universities offer stellar undergraduate experiences. Reaffirming the commitment we have maintained over the generations, we will continue to produce graduates prepared to serve the Commonwealth in all aspects of its development. Accordingly, we will be the university of choice for qualified undergraduate students, within both the Commonwealth and the region. For a community of scholars, graduate education represents the nurturing of intellectual seed for tomorrow's pedagogy and path-setting research. We will improve the quality and distinctiveness of our graduate programs to even better prepare our students for careers as accomplished scholars and professionals who contribute to the Commonwealth, the nation, and the world through their research, creative discovery and endeavors, teaching, and service. Our ability to prepare students for success in a global and increasingly interconnected economy is, in an important sense, most determined by the learning environment we provide them. Similarly, the ability of our faculty and staff to harness and reach their potential is facilitated, in large measure, by the extent to which our campus community is diverse, welcoming and inclusive. Deeply understanding this dynamic – and acting upon it – means we will work each day to strengthen the diversity and inclusivity of our university community through recruitment and retention of an increasingly diverse population of faculty, staff and students, and by implementing initiatives that provide rich diversity-related experiences for all, to help ensure their success in a diverse and interconnected world. Our research and scholarly endeavors offer the brightest hope for transformation and change for our Commonwealth and the broader world we serve. We will, therefore, expand our scholarly work, creative endeavors, and cutting-edge research to focus on the most important challenges of the Commonwealth and to improve the lives of our citizens. Our sense of connection to those we serve and our steadfast commitment to changing lives is an integral part of what makes our campus community special. To foster that, we will build upon our engagement with – and service to – our community partners
iii
within the Commonwealth, the nation, and the world by honoring our historic commitments as a land-grant institution. We will leverage contemporary technology, scholarship and research in innovative ways to advance the public good and to foster the development of citizen-scholars. With the harmony of diverse voices and perspectives, but in the cadence of a common voice, the strategic plan, which our Board will consider in October, creates a blueprint for our future, guided by the values and dreams of those who built this special place. Much has been accomplished, and our Board, alumni, faculty, staff, students, policy-makers, private partners and donors who believe in us are those to whom recognition is most due. Challenges remain. New obstacles will appear. Still our future is hopeful and bright because of the steadfast stewardship of those who came before us and those who now have been entrusted with this precious legacy birthed 150 years ago. I look forward to sharing that future with you. Eli Capilouto President

Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Trustees University of Kentucky Lexington, Kentucky Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the University of Kentucky (University), a component unit of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, which are comprised of statements of net position as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position and of cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Kentucky Medical Services Foundation, Inc. (KMSF), a blended component unit of the University, which statements reflect total assets of $195,126 and $139,714 as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and total revenues of $304,167 and $230,336, respectively, for the years then ended (dollars in thousands). Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for KMSF, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The financial statements of KMSF, which are included in the University’s reporting entity, were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
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
Board of Trustees University of Kentucky Page 2
2
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.
Opinion
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the University as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its financial position and its 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 and post-employment and long-term disability benefit plan information listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not 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 Information
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements as a whole. The governing board listing and the message from the president as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 2, 2015, on our consideration of the University’s internal control over financial reporting and 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 the 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 University’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
Louisville, Kentucky October 2, 2015

Management’s Discussion and Analysis The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) provides an overview of the financial position and activities of the University of Kentucky (the University or UK) and its affiliated corporations for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Management has prepared this discussion, and suggests that it be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes appearing in this report. About the University of Kentucky Mission. The University of Kentucky is a public, land-grant university dedicated to improving people's lives through excellence in education, research and creative work, service and health care. As Kentucky's flagship institution, the University plays a critical leadership role by promoting diversity, inclusion, economic development and human well-being. Vision. As Kentucky’s indispensable educational institution, we transform the lives of our students and advance the Commonwealth we serve and beyond through our teaching and learning, diversity and inclusion, discovery, research and creativity, promotion of health, and deep community engagement. Values. The University of Kentucky is guided by its core values:
Integrity Excellence Mutual respect and human dignity Diversity and inclusion Academic freedom Personal and institutional responsibility and accountability Shared governance A sense of community Work-life sensitivity Civic engagement Social responsibility
Background. Under provisions of the federal Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act (1862), Kentucky State Agricultural and Mechanical College was established in 1865 as part of Kentucky University (now Transylvania University). The College separated from Kentucky University in 1878 and was established on a 52 acre site (the University’s current location) donated by the city of Lexington. In 1908, the College was re-named the State University, Lexington, Kentucky. In 1916 it became the University of Kentucky. According to the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 164.125(2):
In carrying out its statewide mission, the University of Kentucky shall conduct statewide research and provide statewide services, including, but not limited to, agricultural research and extension services, industrial and scientific research, industrial technology extension services to Kentucky employers and research related to the doctoral, professional and postdoctoral programs offered within the University. The University may establish and operate centers and utilize state appropriations and other resources to carry out the necessary research and service activities throughout the state. The University may enter into joint research and service activities with other universities in order to accomplish its statewide mission.
In 1997, the Kentucky General Assembly reformed the state’s public system of colleges and universities. According to the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997:
The University of Kentucky is mandated to become a major comprehensive research institution ranked nationally in the top twenty public universities by 2020.

At its December 2005 meeting, the UK Board of Trustees approved the Top 20 Business Plan. The University’s Strategic Plan for 2009-2014 was adopted by the UK Board of Trustees at its June 2009 meeting. The Strategic Plan is designed to measure the University’s progress by establishing specific goals for teaching, research and service at the department, college and university level. The Strategic Plan established five goals:
Prepare Students for Leading Roles in an Innovation-driven Economy and Global Society Promote Research and Creative Work to Increase the Intellectual, Social, and Economic Capital of
Kentucky and the World Beyond Its Borders Develop the Human and Physical Resources of the University to Achieve the Institution’s Top 20 Goals Promote Diversity and Inclusion Improve the Quality of Life of Kentuckians through Engagement, Outreach and Service
Today, the University continues to focus on the core academic mission of the institution and the original tenets of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act (1862). For 150 years, we have been a beacon for Kentucky, shining bright a path to prosperity and economic competitiveness. We remain steadfast in our covenant with the Commonwealth – to produce graduates prepared for a 21st century economy; to conduct research that extends the boundaries of scientific discovery; and to render service and patient care that uplifts our community and region. Work is currently underway to develop UK’s next strategic plan for the years 2015-2020. The plan will build on extraordinary progress from previous planning documents, a dramatic investment in the institution’s physical spaces, and the insight garnered from considerable campus conversation and constituent input. The plan considers the current operating context for higher education and focuses on five strategic objectives that support our role as Kentucky’s indispensable institution:
Undergraduate Student Success – To be the University of choice for aspiring undergraduate students within the Commonwealth and beyond, seeking a transformational education that promotes self-discovery, experiential learning, and life-long achievement.
Graduate Education – Strengthen the quality and distinctiveness of our graduate programs to transform our students into accomplished scholars and professionals who contribute to the Commonwealth, the nation, and the world through their research and discovery, creative endeavors, teaching, and service.
Diversity and Inclusivity – Enhance the diversity and inclusivity of our University community through recruitment and retention of an increasingly diverse population of faculty, staff, and students, and by implementing initiatives that provide rich diversity-related experiences for all, to help ensure their success in an interconnected world.
Research and Scholarly Work – Expand our scholarship, creative endeavors, and research across the full range of disciplines to focus on the most important challenges of the Commonwealth, our nation, and the world.
Outreach and Community Engagement – Leverage leading-edge technology, scholarship, and research in innovative ways to advance the public good and to foster the development of citizen-scholars.
The steering committee is developing an implementation plan and metrics for review and approval by the Board of Trustees in October 2015. The University is identified as a “Research University (very high research activity)” by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education. There are 108 such institutions in the United States (out of approximately 3,600 colleges and universities). The University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges (CoC) of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). This has been re-affirmed at approximately 10-year intervals since 1915, with the next accreditation review scheduled for 2022. In addition, several degree programs and individual units are accredited by agencies appropriate to specific professions or fields.
6
Students. In Fall 2014, the University had 30,131 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. They represent all 120 Kentucky counties, every state in the U.S. and over 100 countries. Enrollment has increased by 3,692 students (14%) since Fall 2005.

Outreach. As Kentucky’s flagship, land-grant university, UK engages citizens and communities across the state in a myriad of ways, including extension offices in all 120 Kentucky counties; continuing education opportunities for teachers, lawyers and health care providers; clinics providing legal, pharmaceutical and health care assistance; and a multitude of research efforts aimed at Kentucky’s most difficult problems in economic development, health care, infrastructure and education. Medical Centers. UK HealthCare, a trademarked brand used by the University of Kentucky for its health care services, is uniquely equipped to provide advanced subspecialty care to the people of Kentucky. The academic medical center and health system provides patient care on par – in terms of both volume and complexity – with the nation’s top 25% of academic medical centers. In October 2013, UK HealthCare was named a “Rising Star” by the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) for gains made in quality, safety, efficiency and equity of care. This and other notable achievements are listed at http://ukhealthcare.uky.edu/quality/awards/. UK HealthCare Hospital System (the System) operates two hospital units under one Joint Commission Accreditation and two licenses in addition to ambulatory services. The major service units include Albert B. Chandler Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital and the Kentucky Clinic. The System has a combined total of 826 licensed beds with an average daily census of 698 patients. On a monthly basis, the system provides over 1,257 inpatient surgeries, 1,343 outpatient surgeries, 31,649 radiology procedures, 8,450 emergency department visits and 111,307 hospital based outpatient clinic visits. Under a management contract entered into with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), the System also operates and manages Eastern State Hospital, a 300,000 square-foot facility located on the University’s Coldstream Research Campus. Eastern State Hospital provides a modern setting for both acute and long-term inpatient psychiatric treatment for adults living within Fayette County and the 50 surrounding counties. UK HealthCare’s Markey Cancer Center remains the state’s only cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which reflects UK’s position as a frontrunner in cancer treatment and research. UK HealthCare is one of an elite group of only 22 medical centers in the United States that have NCI designation, a federally funded Center on Aging, and a highly prized Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) grant. UK HealthCare’s dramatic growth within the last decade is in large part the result of a commitment to support the state’s overall system of care by working hand-in-hand with local community providers to bring specialty care closer to the patient. These relationships take on different dimensions in each locality (management agreements, affiliate networks, outreach, etc.) and support keeping less acute care in the local community and smoothing the process for more complex, serious cases to be treated in UK HealthCare’s Lexington facilities. The goal is better care at all points of the continuum. Libraries. UK operates a nationally recognized research library system, with the capstone being the world-class William T. Young Library. UK’s book endowment is the largest among public universities. Its library network and technology provide extraordinary service to students in the colleges of Medicine, Law, Engineering, Fine Arts and other programs. Meanwhile, students, faculty and Kentucky residents can use UK Libraries’ advanced technology to access the most up-to-date information from online journals, government publications and private studies. Financial Highlights The University’s overall financial position remains fiscally sound with assets of $5.48 billion, deferred outflows of resources of $13.8 million, liabilities of $1.80 billion and deferred inflows of resources of $241.1 million as of June 30, 2015. Net position, which represents the University’s residual interest in assets and deferred outflows of resources after liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are deducted, was $3.46 billion (63% of total assets).
Total assets increased $990.5 million (22%), primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, notes, loans and accounts receivable, net and capital assets, net.
Deferred outflows of resources increased $13.8 million due to the unamortized difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of refunded debt.
Total liabilities increased $449.7 million (33%), primarily due to increases in unearned revenue, bonds and
capital lease obligations and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
8
Deferred inflows of resources totaled $241.1 million due to the new service concession arrangements entered into with Education Realty Trust (EdR) of $130.3 million, Aramark Educational Services, LLC (Aramark) of $105.9 million and Barnes and Noble College Booksellers (Barnes and Noble) of $4.9 million.
Total net position increased $313.4 million (10%). Unrestricted net position increased $203.6 million and
net investment in capital assets increased $74.8 million. Restricted net position increased $35.0 million mainly due to capital projects including the Gatton College of Business and Economics expansion and the University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (Athletics) new football training facility.
Operating revenues were $2.46 billion and operating expenses were $2.61 billion, resulting in a loss from
operations of $147.1 million. Nonoperating and other revenues, net of nonoperating expenses, were $460.5 million, including $279.6 million in state appropriations.

Statement of Net Position The Statement of Net Position is the University’s balance sheet. It reflects the total assets, liabilities, net position (equity), and deferred outflows and inflows of resources of the University as of June 30, 2015, with comparative information as of June 30, 2014. Liabilities due within one year, and assets available to pay those liabilities, are classified as current. Other assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent. Net position (i.e. the difference between total assets and total liabilities and deferred inflows and outflows of resources) are an important indicator of the University’s current financial condition, while the change in net position is an indicator of whether the overall financial position has improved or worsened during the year. Generally, assets and liabilities and deferred inflows and outflows of resources are reported using current values. A major exception is capital assets, which are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.

Total net position increased $313.4 million during the year ended June 30, 2015. Net investment in capital assets increased $74.8 million due to excess of additions of capital assets and principal payments of capital debt offset by depreciation expense. Restricted net position increased $35.0 million principally due to gifts for construction projects including the Gatton College of Business and Economics renovation/expansion and Athletics’ new football training facility. Unrestricted net position increased $203.6 million, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues of $313.0 million offset by an increase in operating expenses of $167.7 million. 2014 Versus 2013. During the year ended June 30, 2014:
Total assets increased by a net $545.9 million primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $229.0 million, endowment investments of $160.8 million, other long-term investments of $86.5 million, capital assets, net of $23.7 million, notes, loans and accounts receivable, net of $22.7 million and current investments of $19.5 million.
Liabilities increased $265.1 million primarily as the result of the issuance of new debt of $241.8 million offset
by principal payments, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a decrease in unearned revenue.
Deferred inflows of resources decreased $561 thousand due to the amendment of the Forward Delivery
Agreement that eliminated the hedging instrument that provided a specified rate of return on certain debt service instruments.
Total net position increased $281.3 million. Net investment in capital assets increased $42.9 million due to
excess of additions of capital assets and principal payments of capital debt offset by depreciation expense. Restricted net position increased $120.1 million principally as a result of gain on endowment investments due to a positive return on the endowment pool. Unrestricted net position increased $118.3 million primarily due to an increase in operating revenues of $166.3 million offset by an increase in operating expenses of $141.7 million. Additionally, the positive return on the endowment pool caused an increase in quasi endowment net position of $37.6 million.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position is the University’s income statement. It details how net position has changed during the year ended June 30, 2015, with comparative information for the year ended June 30, 2014. This statement is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues and assets are recognized when the service is provided and expenses and liabilities are recognized when others provide the service, regardless of when cash is exchanged. Items that increase or decrease net position appear on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position as revenues, expenses, gains or losses. Financial activities are reported as either operating or nonoperating. GASB Statement No. 35 requires state appropriations, gifts, and investment income to be classified as nonoperating revenues. Accordingly, the University reports a net operating loss prior to the addition of nonoperating revenues. The utilization of long-lived capital assets is reflected in the financial statements as depreciation, which amortizes the cost of an asset over its expected useful life. Tuition revenue is reduced by external scholarships and institutional aid and is reported net of the scholarship allowance.

Operating Revenues(in millions)
2015 2014 2013
Total operating revenues were $2.46 billion for the year ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $313.0 million (15%). The primary components of operating revenues were student tuition and fees of $302.9 million; grants, contracts and recoveries of facilities and administrative costs of $338.4 million; hospital services of $1.32 billion; and professional clinical service fees of $223.3 million. The major increase was in hospital service revenue of $222.0 million attributable to an increase in rates, partially driven by patient acuity, and improved payer mix as a result of the Medicaid expansion program. Retail and contract pharmacy sales also increased hospital service revenues. Other significant increases in operating revenues related to net student tuition and fees of $15.4 million due to tuition and fee rate increases as well as increased enrollment; grants and contracts of $34.0 million due to increases in professional supplemental payments from state and federal grants and contracts; professional clinical service fees of $19.6 million due to increased patient activity and improved reimbursements associated with the decline in the uninsured self-pay population due to Medicaid expansion; and auxiliary enterprises of $19.8 million.

The $229.0 million net increase in cash was created from more cash provided by capital and noncapital financing activities and less cash used by operating activities offset by more cash used for investing activities.

Economic and Other Factors That Will Affect the Future Executive management believes the University is well-positioned to maintain its strong financial condition and to continue providing excellent service to students, patients, the community, and the citizens of the Commonwealth. The University’s strong financial condition, as evidenced by recent credit ratings of Aa2 and AA from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, respectively, will provide a high degree of flexibility in obtaining funds for future capital projects on competitive terms. This flexibility, along with ongoing efforts toward revenue diversification and cost containment, will enable the University to obtain the necessary resources to sustain excellence. The following are known facts and circumstances that will affect future financial results:
The Commonwealth’s economy is showing positive emerging trends of consistent job growth, a lower unemployment rate, and higher consumer confidence. Kentucky personal income is projected to grow faster than that of the national average for at least the next year. Home prices are increasing in urban areas such as Louisville and Northern Kentucky and the number of new home construction permits issued also is increasing. As a result of a General Fund surplus for fiscal year 2014-15, the Commonwealth’s Budget Reserve Trust Fund is estimated to exceed $209.0 million, the largest balance since fiscal year 2007-08.
The enacted fiscal year 2015-16 budget generally reflects no change in state appropriations for state agencies and public colleges and universities. As a result, state support as a percentage of the University’s total budget is expected to continue to decline. Over the past 10 years, state support decreased from 17% of the total operating budget to eight percent. In spite of significant enrollment growth and cost increases, state support for fiscal year 2015-16 will be $39.0 million less than it was in fiscal year 2006-07.
Student demand is expected to remain high in the coming years. Applications for the Fall 2015 incoming class will exceed 22,500 for the first time in the University’s history. Preliminary numbers indicate that the Fall 2015 entering freshmen class will reach 5,217 students – an increase of 1,027 or 25% since Fall 2006.
The University is undergoing a momentous physical transformation, part of which involves revitalization of its on-campus housing through a comprehensive public/private partnership (P3) with EdR. The multi-phase P3 is the first of its kind in the nation, entailing a substantial increase in the quantity and quality of student housing while allowing the University to reserve its debt capacity for other capital needs. Seven new residence halls came online in August 2013 and 2014 adding 2,982 beds to the housing stock and three additional residence halls were brought online in August 2015, adding another 1,610 beds. The total to date is 4,592 beds. Under construction now are three additional buildings which will bring the total to 6,504 new beds by Fall 2017. The total plan includes increasing the current on-campus housing stock up to 9,000 beds by 2018.
Also part of the campus transformation are the following academic, research, healthcare and athletic projects authorized by the Kentucky General Assembly:
o A $65.0 million renovation and expansion of the Gatton College of Business and Economics, financed by the University
o A new $112.0 million Academic Science Building financed by the University with Athletics funding $65.0 million of the project cost
o A $126.5 million renovation and expansion of Commonwealth Stadium financed completely by Athletics
o A $175.0 million renovation and expansion of the Student Center financed by the University o A $150.0 million renovation and upgrade of the UK HealthCare facilities financed completely by
UK HealthCare, which when complete will increase licensed bed capacity to 945 beds o A $65.0 million renovation and expansion of the College of Law building financed by $35.0 million
of state bonds and $30.0 million by the University o A new $265.0 million Research Building financed by the University and state bonds ($132.5
million each) As of June 30, 2015, grants and contracts of approximately $189.2 million, an increase of approximately
$11.5 million from the previous year, have been awarded to the University but not expended. The growth in available governmental awards will result in increased grant revenue in future periods.
Health care reform has initiated significant changes to the United States healthcare system, including potential material changes to the delivery of healthcare services and the reimbursement paid for such services by governments or other third-party payers. The long-term impact is unknown, as the long period
18
between passage and its implementation lends to some level of uncertainty. UK HealthCare Hospital System will develop and execute strategies in an effort to mitigate the negative impacts and leverage opportunities.
The University will continue its long-term endowment investment strategy to maximize total returns, at an appropriate level of risk, while utilizing a spending rate policy to insulate programs funded by the endowment from temporary market volatility.
In July 2014, the University created a public/private partnership with Aramark that will continue to transform the dining services provided for students, faculty, staff, and the community. The 15 year partnership provides for $70.0 million in facilities investments by Aramark to be completed by fiscal year 2017-18.
Economic challenges will continue to have an impact on the future. However, management believes the University will be able to sustain its sound financial position and continue its progress toward becoming a nationally recognized public research institution.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity The University of Kentucky (the University) is a component unit of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the Commonwealth) and is included in the basic financial statements of the Commonwealth. The financial statements of the University include the operations of the University and its affiliated non-profit corporations (entities for which the University is financially accountable as defined by Statement No. 14 and amended by Statements No. 39 and No. 61 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), and which meet the definition of an affiliated corporation under Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) section 164A.550) as follows: the University of Kentucky Research Foundation and its for-profit subsidiaries (Kentucky Technology, Inc. and Coldstream Laboratories, Inc.); The Fund for Advancement of Education and Research in the University of Kentucky Medical Center (The Fund); University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Foundation, Inc.; University of Kentucky Humanities Foundation, Inc.; University of Kentucky Mining Engineering Foundation, Inc.; University of Kentucky Center on Aging Foundation, Inc.; and Central Kentucky Management Services, Inc. The affiliates are presented as blended component units since University management has operational responsibility for each affiliated corporation. The financial statements also include the operations of Kentucky Medical Services Foundation, Inc. (KMSF) a non-profit entity for which the University is financially accountable as defined by GASB, but which is not an affiliated corporation under KRS. KMSF is included within the University reporting entity as a blended component unit as KMSF provides its services entirely to the University. The financial statements also include the operations of organizational units of the University: the UK HealthCare Hospital System (the System), the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (Athletics), the Kentucky Tobacco Research and Development Center (KTRDC), and WUKY Radio. The separate financial statements for the above entities can be found at: www.uky.edu/evpfa/controller/finst. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as prescribed by the GASB. GASB establishes standards for external financial reporting for public colleges and universities and requires that resources be classified for accounting and financial reporting purposes into the following net position categories:
Net investment in capital assets: Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and outstanding
principal balances of debt attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets.
Restricted: Nonexpendable – Net position subject to externally imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the University. Such assets include the principal of the University’s permanent endowment funds.
Expendable – Net position whose use by the University is subject to externally imposed stipulations that can be fulfilled by actions of the University pursuant to those stipulations or that expire by the passage of time.
Unrestricted: Net position whose use by the University is not subject to externally imposed stipulations. Unrestricted net position may be designated for specific purposes by action of management or the Board of Trustees (the board) or may otherwise be limited by contractual agreements with outside parties.
The financial statement presentation is intended to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, net position, revenues, expenses, changes in net position and cash flows.
23
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accrual Basis. The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred. The University reports as a Business Type Activity (BTA) as defined by GASB Statement No. 35. BTAs are those activities that are financed in whole or part by fees charged to external parties for goods and services. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The University considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Noncurrent cash and cash equivalents include plant funds allocated for capital projects, debt service reserves and endowment fund cash pending transfer to the custodian for investment. Cash and cash equivalents held by bond trustees and the University’s endowment fund managers are included in investments. Notes, Loans and Accounts Receivable. This classification consists of tuition and fee charges to students; charges for auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff; and loans to students. Also included are patient accounts receivable, amounts due from sponsors for reimbursement of expenses made pursuant to contracts and grants, amounts due under multimedia rights contract and service concession arrangements, and pledges that are verifiable, measurable and expected to be collected. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Inventories. Inventories are stated principally at the lower of average cost or market. Pooled Endowment Funds. All endowments are managed in a consolidated investment pool, which consists of more than 2,000 named funds. All contributing endowments participate in the income and appreciation of the pool on a per unit basis commensurate with their contribution to the pool. New endowments purchase units in the pool at the current unit value, which is calculated each month based on the fair value of the pool investments divided by the number of pool units outstanding. The market value method of accounting for pooled endowment funds is employed to ensure proper distribution of market price changes, realized gains (losses) on sales, accrued income earned, and distribution of investment earnings for expenditure by participating funds. In accordance with the Kentucky Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), as adopted by the Commonwealth in July 2010, the University employs a total return method for establishing investment objectives and spending policies designed to achieve financial equilibrium for endowment funds over the long term. The University makes expenditure decisions in accordance with UPMIFA and donor gift agreements. UPMIFA prescribes guidelines for expenditure of a donor-restricted endowment fund (in the absence of overriding, explicit donor stipulations) and focuses on the entirety of a donor-restricted endowment fund, that is, both the original gift amount(s) and net appreciation. In accordance with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA and consistent with industry standards, the University has adopted a spending policy with the long-term objective to maintain the purchasing power of each endowment and provide a predictable and sustainable level of income to support current operations. Effective for fiscal year 2015 and thereafter, the University established a “hybrid” spending policy, which includes both the market value of the endowment and the current level of inflation in determining spending each year. Annual spending is calculated by taking a weighted average comprising 60% of the prior year’s spending, adjusted for inflation, and 40% of the amount that results when the target annual spending rate of four percent is applied to the average market value of the endowment over the preceding 36 months. The spending amount determined by the formula is constrained so that the calculated rate is at least three percent, and not more than six percent, of the current endowment market value. For fiscal year 2014, spending was based on four percent of the average endowment market value for the preceding 60 months. The University also utilizes an endowment management fee to support internal management and fundraising costs related to the endowment. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the University’s annual endowment management fee was 0.25%.
24
To protect endowment funds from permanent impairment of value, spending and management fee withdrawals are suspended on endowments with a market value less than the contributed value by more than 20%. Additionally, endowments with a market value less than the contributed value by more than 10% undergo a formal review to determine the appropriate level of spending in accordance with various factors set forth in UPMIFA. All donor restrictions and stipulations prevail in decisions regarding preservation and spending of endowment funds. The components of the University’s spending policy distribution and management fee for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands):
2015 2014
Gross spending policy distribution 38,340$ 36,381$ Reinvested spending policy distribution (17,903) (16,640)
Net spending policy distribution 20,437$ 19,741$
Management fee 2,718$ 2,525$
Investments. Investments in marketable debt and equity securities are carried at fair value, as determined by the major securities markets. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Other investments, including guaranteed investment contracts, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit are valued at face value and are fully collateralized. The University’s financial statements include alternative investments, such as limited partnerships, that are not publicly traded. Certain of these alternative investments are carried at their estimated fair values as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, as adjusted by cash receipts, cash disbursements, and securities distributions through June 30, 2015 and 2014, at a total estimated fair value of $211.4 million and $154.1 million, respectively. Other alternative investments are carried at estimated fair values as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, at a total estimated value of $950,000 and $1.3 million, respectively. In addition, the University also has alternative investments in investment funds that are not themselves publicly traded and thus do not have publicly reported market values, but whose underlying assets consist of publicly traded investments for which fair values are established by the major securities markets. Such alternative investments are carried at fair value of approximately $484.6 million and $492.9 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The University believes that the total carrying amount of its alternative investments valued at $747.9 million and $695.6 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The University’s outstanding commitment to alternative investments is approximately $195.4 million and $122.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital Assets. Capital assets are stated at cost at date of acquisition or, in the case of gifts, at fair market value at date of gift. The University capitalizes interest costs as a component of construction in progress based on the interest cost of borrowing specifically for a currently active project, net of interest earned on investments acquired with the proceeds of the borrowing. The University also capitalizes interest costs as a component of construction in progress on projects funded by unrestricted funds based on the interest costs of borrowings no longer associated with a specific project. The calculation is based on a project’s average expenditures times the weighted average interest rate on borrowings. Equipment with a unit cost of $2,000 or more ($1,000 for computers) and having an estimated useful life of greater than one year is capitalized. Institutional software costing more than $400,000 is capitalized. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure and land improvements that significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense in the year in which the expense is incurred.
25
Depreciation of capital assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 75 years for new student housing buildings, 40 years for other buildings, 10 – 25 years for land improvements, building improvements and infrastructure, 10 years for library books and capitalized software, and 5 – 20 years for equipment and vehicles. The University capitalizes, but does not depreciate, works of art, historical treasures and certain library materials that are held for exhibition, education, research and public service. Deferred Outflows of Resources. A deferred outflow of resources is a loss in net position by the University that is applicable to a future reporting period. Deferred outflows of resources are reported in the statement of net position, but are not recognized in the financial statements as expense until in the related period. Deferred outflows of resources of $13.8 million as of June 30, 2015, consisted of unamortized difference between the reacquisition price and net carrying amount of the refunded debt. Unearned Revenue. Unearned revenue consists primarily of amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned under the terms of the agreement. Unearned revenue also includes amounts received from multimedia rights pursuant to contract agreement and amounts received in advance of an event, such as advance athletic ticket sales relating to future fiscal years and unearned summer school revenue. Unearned revenue is recognized in the period to which the grant, event or semester relates. Compensated Absences. The amount of vacation leave earned but not taken by employees at June 30, 2015 is recorded as a liability by the University. Temporary disability leave payable upon termination under the University’s payout policy is also recorded as a liability. Compensated absence liabilities are computed using the pay rates in effect at the statement of net position date plus an additional amount for compensation-related payments such as Social Security and Medicare taxes computed using rates in effect at that date. Deferred Inflows of Resources. A deferred inflow of resources is a gain in net position by the University that is applicable to a future reporting period. Deferred inflows of resources are reported in the statement of net position but are not recognized in the financial statements as revenue until in the related period. Scholarship Allowances. Student tuition and fees are presented net of scholarship allowances applied to student accounts. Stipends and other payments made directly to students are presented as student financial aid expenses. Scholarship allowances are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students’ behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants and other federal and state programs similar to Pell, are recorded as nonoperating revenues; other governmental and nongovernmental grants are recorded as operating revenues in the University’s financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded a scholarship allowance. Hospital and Clinical Services Revenues. Hospital and clinical services revenues are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payers and others for services rendered, including contractual allowances and estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement programs with third-party payers, less a provision for doubtful accounts. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Inpatient acute care services and substantially all outpatient services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates per discharge. These rates vary according to a patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic and other factors. Inpatient skilled nursing services are paid at prospectively determined per diem rates that are based on the patients’ acuity. Certain inpatient nonacute services and defined medical education costs are paid based on a cost reimbursement methodology. The System is reimbursed for certain services at tentative rates with final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the System and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Inpatient and outpatient services rendered to Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed under a cost reimbursement methodology for certain services and at prospectively determined rates for all other services.
26
The System is reimbursed for cost reimbursable services at tentative rates with final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the System and audits thereof by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary. Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for approximately 28% and 27%, respectively, of the System’s net patient services revenues before the provision for doubtful accounts for the year ended June 30, 2015 and approximately 25% and 24%, respectively for the year ended June 30, 2014. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term. The System also entered into payment agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to the System under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per discharge, discounts from established charges and prospectively determined daily rates. The System provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Since the System does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. Electronic Health Records Incentive Program. The Electronic Health Records Incentive Program, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, provides for incentive payments under both the Medicare and Medicaid programs to eligible physicians, dentists and hospitals that demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health records technology. Payments under the Medicare program are generally made for up to four years based on a statutory formula. Payments under the Medicaid program are generally made for up to four years based upon a statutory formula, as determined by the state, which is approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Payment under both programs is contingent on the System, The Fund and KMSF continuing to meet escalating meaningful use criteria and any other specific requirements that are applicable for the reporting period. The final amount for any payment year is determined based upon an audit by the fiscal intermediary. Events could occur that would cause the final amounts to differ materially from the initial payments under the program. The System recognizes revenue when management is reasonably assured it will meet all of the meaningful use objectives and any other specific grant requirements applicable for the reporting period. In fiscal year 2015, the System was in the fourth year under the Medicare programs and recorded $1.1 million, which is included in hospital services revenue within operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. In fiscal year 2014, the System was in the third year of the programs and recorded $1.7 million.
In fiscal year 2015, the System received no revenue under the Medicaid program as their program ended in fiscal year 2014. In fiscal year 2014, the System recorded $564,000 in hospital services revenue. In addition, during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, KMSF applied for and received $366,000 and $269,000, respectively, in Medicaid health information technology (HIT) funds and $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in Medicare HIT funds, which is included in professional clinical service fees in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and changes in Net Position. In fiscal year 2015, The Fund completed the first-year requirements under the Medicaid program and recorded $298,000 in state and local grants and contracts within operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Income Taxes. The University is an agency and instrumentality of the Commonwealth, pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes sections 164.100 through 164.280. Accordingly, the University is excluded from federal income taxes as an organization described in Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each of the University’s affiliated non-profit organizations has received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service granting exemption from federal income taxation pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). KMSF is a not-for-profit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
27
Restricted Asset Spending Policy. The University’s policy is that restrictions on assets cannot be fulfilled by the expenditure of unrestricted funds for similar purposes. The determination on whether restricted or unrestricted funds are expended for a particular purpose is made on a case-by-case basis. Restricted funds remain restricted until spent for the intended purpose.
Operating Activities. The University defines operating activities, as reported on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, as those that generally result from exchange transactions, such as payments received for providing goods and services and payments made for goods and services received. Nearly all of the University’s expenses are from exchange transactions. Certain significant revenues relied upon for operations, such as state appropriations, gifts and investment income, are recorded as nonoperating revenues in accordance with GASB Statement No. 35. The University has classified operating expenses based upon their functional classifications. Operating expenses by natural classification are presented in Note 24. During fiscal years 2015 and 2014, departmental research in nonsponsored accounts of approximately $61.6 million and $67.7 million, respectively, was recorded as research expense in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements include estimates for items such as bad debt and contractual allowances, estimated third-party payer settlements, self-insurance reserves, accrued expenses and other liability accounts. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. As of June 30, 2015, the GASB has issued the following applicable statements to the University but not yet implemented.
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, issued February 2015. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2015. This statement requires disclosures to be made about fair value measurements, the level of fair value hierarchy, and valuation techniques. The University is currently evaluating the effect Statement No. 72 will have on its financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement No. 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements No. 67 and 68, issued June 2015. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2016. This statement establishes requirements for defined contribution pensions plans not administered through trusts that meet certain criteria. The University has certain employees who were age 40 or older prior to the establishment of each group retirement plan that qualify for minimum annual retirement benefits. (see note 17) The University is currently evaluating the effect statement No. 73 will have on its financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, issued June 2015. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. This statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expenses. This statement addresses employers whose employees are provided defined contribution OPEB. The University is working with an actuary to determine the impact of the pronouncement. Although specific amounts are not yet known, this is expected to result in a significant liability for the unfunded portion being recorded on the University’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for State and Local Governments, issued June 2015. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2015. This statement supersedes Statement No. 55 and raises the category of GASB Implementation Guides in the GAAP hierarchy. The University is currently evaluating the effect Statement No. 76 will have on its financial statements.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2014 financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2015 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on change in net position.

Total 2,465,743$ 2,170,677$
Alternative investments totaling approximately $747.9 million and $695.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are included within pooled absolute return funds, pooled global tactical allocation funds, pooled long/short equity funds, pooled private equity funds, pooled real estate funds, and pooled diversified inflation strategy funds in the summary schedule of investments above (refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, regarding valuation of alternative investments). Deposit and Investment Policies. The Board is responsible for establishing deposit and investment policies. Once established, the Board has delegated day-to-day management to the Treasurer of the University. Deposit and investment policies are developed to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations as well as to establish and maintain sound financial management practices. The University follows Kentucky Revised Statute KRS 42.500 for the investment of public funds, which lists allowable investment instruments including: obligations of the United States or a United States government agency; obligations of any corporation of the United States government or government-sponsored enterprise; various highly rated fixed income securities including collateralized and uncollateralized certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, commercial paper, state or local government securities, United States denominated
29
corporate, Yankee and Eurozone securities and asset-backed securities; highly rated mutual funds comprised of any of the above allowable investments; and state and local property tax certificates of delinquency secured by interests in real property. For purposes of investment management, the majority of the University’s deposits and investments can be grouped into five significant categories, as follows: Overnight investments include deposits, money market funds and repurchase agreements with local
banks, the Commonwealth and other financial institutions. Bond revenue fund investments held by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth as required by the
University’s bond trust indentures and invested in pooled fixed income funds managed by the Commonwealth.
Short-term and intermediate-term investments: o managed by the University, including individual securities purchased and held by the
University, o managed by the Commonwealth in pooled fixed income funds, and o managed by an external manager in a low duration strategy.
Debt service sinking fund investments required by the University’s bond trust indentures and held by the bond trustees.
Endowment investments administered by the University and managed using external investment managers.
The Treasurer manages overnight, short-term and intermediate-term investments based on the Operating Fund Investment Policy. The University’s policy for the investment of bond revenue and debt service reserve funds is governed by each respective bond’s trust indenture. The Investment Committee of the Board establishes and maintains the University’s Endowment Investment Policy. Deposit and Investment Risks. The University’s deposits and investments are exposed to various risks, including credit, interest rate and foreign currency risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such change could affect the investment amounts in the Statements of Net Position. Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligation, causing the University to experience a loss of principal. As a means of limiting its exposure to losses arising from credit risk, the University’s investment policies limit the exposure of its various investment types as follows: Overnight investment (deposits, money market funds and repurchase agreements) policies minimize
credit risk in several ways. Deposits are governed by state law which requires full collateralization for balances exceeding amounts covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The University’s deposits are insured up to $250,000 at each FDIC insured institution. Credit risk on deposits in excess of FDIC coverage and on repurchase agreements with local banks is mitigated by the issuing financial institution’s pledge of specific U.S. Treasury or agency securities, held in the name of the University by the Federal Reserve Bank. Credit risk on repurchase agreements with the Commonwealth is mitigated by the Commonwealth’s requirement that providers of overnight repurchase agreements collateralize these investments at 102% of face value with U.S. Treasury or agency securities, pledged in the name of the Commonwealth. Money market fund portfolios consist of securities eligible for short-term investments.
Bond revenue fund investments held in the Commonwealth’s investment pools can invest in U.S. Treasury and agency securities; commercial paper, asset-backed securities or qualified mutual funds rated in the highest category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, state or local government securities and corporate, Yankee and Eurodollar securities rated in one of the three highest categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; and state and local property tax certificates of delinquency secured by interests in real property.
30
Short-term and intermediate-term investments managed by the University and those held in the Commonwealth’s investment pools are subject to the same credit quality restrictions as denoted above for bond revenue fund investments. The investment guidelines for the low duration strategy managed by an external manager require that a minimum of 85% of the portfolio holdings are investment grade and a minimum A- portfolio average quality is maintained, with no single credit industry exceeding 15% of the portfolio.
Investment securities held in bond debt service reserve funds may be invested and reinvested solely in bonds or interest bearing notes of the United States government.
Endowment managers are permitted to use derivative instruments to limit credit risk.
At June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively, the credit quality of the University’s fixed income investments is summarized below (in thousands):

2014
Custodial Credit Risk. Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the University will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in possession of an outside party.
31
As a means of limiting its exposure to losses arising from custodial credit risk, the University’s investment policies limit the exposure of its various investment types as follows: Overnight investments (deposits, money market funds and repurchase agreements) are not exposed to
custodial credit risk other than repurchase agreements with the Commonwealth, which are held in the Commonwealth’s name. Deposits and money market investments are held in the University’s name by various financial institutions.
Bond revenue fund investments held in the Commonwealth’s investment pools are held in the Commonwealth’s name by the Commonwealth’s custodian.
Short-term and intermediate-term investments held by the Commonwealth for the benefit of the University are invested in the Commonwealth’s investment pools and are held in the name of the Commonwealth by the Commonwealth’s custodian. Short-term and intermediate-term investments managed by the University are held in the University’s name in a safekeeping account. The low duration strategy investments managed by an external manager are held in the University’s name by the University’s custodian.
Investment securities held in bond debt service sinking funds are held by the respective bond trustee in a specific trust account for the benefit of the University and bondholders.
Endowment investments are held in the University’s name by the University’s custodian.
At June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the following University deposit and investment balances held in the name of the Commonwealth, included in the above significant investment types, were exposed to custodial credit risk as follows (in thousands):

2014
Concentrations of Credit Risk. University investments can be exposed to a concentration of credit risk if significant amounts are invested in any one issuer.
32
As a means of limiting its exposure to concentrations of credit risk, the University’s investment policies limit concentrations in various investment types as follows: Overnight investments (deposits, money market funds and repurchase agreements) are not limited to a
maximum amount that may be invested in one issuer. However, all such deposits in excess of federal deposit insurance are required to be fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and/or U.S. agency securities or other similar investments as provided by KRS 41.240.
Bond revenue fund investments held in the Commonwealth’s investment pools are limited as follows: U.S. dollar denominated corporate and Yankee securities issued by foreign and domestic issuers shall not exceed 35% of an individual pool and $25.0 million per issuer, inclusive of commercial paper, bankers acceptances and certificates of deposit per individual pool; and U.S. dollar denominated sovereign debt shall not exceed five percent of any individual portfolio and $25.0 million per issuer.
Short-term and intermediate-term investments managed by the University and those held in the Commonwealth’s investment pools are subject to the same credit concentration restrictions as denoted above for the bond revenue fund investments. Investments in the low duration strategy managed by an external manager are limited such that no single credit industry shall exceed 15% of the portfolio at purchase.
There is no specific limit on the maximum amount of investment securities held in bond debt service sinking funds that may be invested in one issuer. However, such investments are limited to bonds or interest bearing notes of the U.S. government.
Endowment fixed income managers are limited to a maximum investment in any one issuer of no more than five percent of total investments excluding sovereign debt of governments belonging in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and U.S. agencies.
At June 30, 2015 and 2014, the University had no investments in any one issuer, other than U.S. Treasury and/or agency securities, that represented five percent or more of total investments. Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates, the University’s investment policies limit the maturity of its various investment types as follows: Overnight investments (deposits, money market funds and repurchase agreements) have limited
exposure to interest rate risk due to the short-term nature of the investment. The University requires that all deposits and repurchase agreements be available for use on the next business day.
Bond revenue fund investments and short-term investments held in the Commonwealth’s short-term investment pool are limited to an average maturity that does not exceed 90 days. Such investments in the Commonwealth’s intermediate-term investment pool must maintain an effective duration of less than three years.
Short-term and intermediate-term investments managed by the University are generally limited to a maximum maturity of 24 months and those held in the Commonwealth’s investment pools are subject to the same maturity and duration limits as denoted above for bond revenue fund investments. The portfolio duration of the low duration strategy investment managed by an external manager must be within a range of +/- 0.5 years of the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit 1-5 Year Index.
Investment securities held in bond debt service sinking funds are required to have a maturity no later than two years from the date of the investment.
Endowment managers are permitted to use derivative instruments to limit interest rate risk. Additionally, endowment investments held by core-plus fixed income managers are limited to a duration that is within two years of the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and unconstrained fixed income strategies have been implemented to further protect against rising interest rates.

Annuities payable consists of the present value of future payments due under charitable remainder annuity trusts, charitable remainder unitrusts, lead trusts, irrevocable trusts and charitable gift annuities, discounted at 3.6% to 10.8%. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized over the life of the bond using the effective interest method. Bonds payable consist of general receipts bonds and general receipts notes in the original amount of $1.10 billion dated October 27, 2005 through April 15, 2015, which bear interest at 1.46% to 4.66%. The bonds are payable in annual installments through April 1, 2045. The University is required to make semi-annual deposits of varying amounts to the debt service funds held by the trustees. The bonds are secured by the net revenues of the University and the assets restricted under the bond indenture agreements. Capital leases are due in periodic installments through November 20, 2028 and bear interest at 1.39% to 4.45%. All bonds except for the General Receipts 2012 Bonds Series A and General Receipts 2014 Bonds Series C, totaling $791.0 million, are callable between 2016 and 2025. The indenture agreements require that certain funds be established with the trustee and with the Commonwealth. On July 28, 2014, approximately $88.1 million of University of Kentucky General Receipts 2014 Bonds Series D were issued at a true interest cost of 2.04%. These bonds were issued for the purpose of refunding University of Kentucky General Receipts 2005 Bonds Series A (originally issued to fund the renovation of Memorial Coliseum), University of Kentucky General Receipts 2005 Notes Series A (originally issued to fund the construction of the Patient Care Facility) and Consolidated Educational Buildings Revenue Bonds (CEBRB) Series PQR (originally issued to fund various projects). These bonds will reduce the University’s total debt service payments over the next 11 years by approximately $16.8 million , representing an economic gain (difference between the present value of the debt service payments on the old and the new bonds) of
41
approximately $15.0 million. Also, on April 15, 2015, approximately $259.0 million of University of Kentucky General Receipts 2015 Bonds Series A, B and C were issued at a true interest cost of 3.52%, 2.33% and 1.97%, respectively. These bonds were issued for the purpose of funding various construction projects for the System and refunding University of Kentucky General Receipts 2007 Notes Series A and B (originally issued to fund the construction of the Patient Care Facility), CEBRB Series U (originally issued to fund parking and infrastructure projects) and University of Kentucky General Receipts 2006 Bonds Series A (originally issued to fund the construction of the student health facility). The refunding portion of these bonds will reduce the University’s total debt service payments over the next 13 years by approximately $17.3 million, representing an economic gain of approximately $14.9 million. In prior fiscal years, certain general receipts bonds series were issued as Build America Bonds (BAB) as authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and as Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECB) as authorized under the Recovery Act and the Hiring Incentive to Restore Employment Act of 2010. The University will receive an annual cash subsidy from the U.S. Treasury equal to 35% (BAB) and 80% (QECB) of the interest payable on the bonds. The subsidy, which was approximately $2.3 million during fiscal year 2015 and 2014, was included in gifts and non-exchange grants in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. The subsidy payment is contingent on federal regulations and may be subject to change. On March 1, 2013, the President signed an executive order reducing the budgetary authority in accounts subject to sequestration. As a result, the BAB subsidy was reduced to approximately 32% and 33% in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The QECB subsidy was reduced to approximately 74% in 2015 and 2014.

The University has entered into a multi-phase housing project with a third party developer, Education Realty Trust (EdR), to construct new residence halls. Phase I, signed in April 2012, was for two four-story buildings, (601 beds) and opened in August 2013. The project, with an estimated cost of $25.2 million, is on land owned by the University and leased to EdR for a 50 year term with options for additional 10 year and 15 year terms thereafter. At the conclusion of the initial 50 year term or the first renewal option, the University will be required to purchase the buildings from EdR for an appraised value, unless the ground lease is renewed for the first or second optional extension. At the conclusion of the second optional extension, the University is required to purchase the buildings for the greater of current net book value or $10. Ground rent is a percentage of gross revenues. The University accounts for the ground lease as an operating lease. These facilities are subject to ad valorem tax. Phase II-A, which opened in August 2014, included the development of five residence halls at an approximate cost of $138.2 million. The residence halls are reported as a capital asset with carrying value of $136.4 million at June 30, 2015 and deferred inflows of resources in the amount of $130.3 million pursuant to the service concession arrangement. The 75 year term lease with EdR includes maintenance standards for the facilities and parameters for the room rental rates for the contract duration. The University will receive a percentage of the total revenues and a share of the net income, after EdR achieves a minimum internal rate of return. Phase II-A and subsequent phases are exempt from ad valorem tax. Future plans include Phase II-B, online in August 2015, for the construction of three residence halls at an approximate cost of $101.2 million. Phase II-C, expected to open in August 2016, includes residence halls at an approximate cost of $83.9 million. Phase III-A, expected to open in August 2017, will be a $74.0 million, 771 bed facility which will provide apartment style units for upper class, graduate and professional students. In July 2014, the University entered into an approximately $250.0 million contract with Aramark Enterprise Services, LLC (Aramark), forming a 15 year public/private partnership. This partnership will transform dining services offered to students, faculty, staff, and the community served. Under the partnership, several new food brands were located on campus starting in the Fall of 2014 and continuing the next year. Aramark provides meals covered under the University’s student boarding plans and declining balance dollars. The contract allows for dining commissions to be paid to the University with guaranteed minimum amounts for each contract year. Aramark will provide $70.0 million in facilities investments, including $40.0 million in new facilities, subject to board approval, to be completed by fiscal year 2017-18. As part of these facilities investments, Aramark constructed a new K Lair Grill at Haggin Hall and made substantial upgrades to the Student Center Food Court and will construct “The 90’s” dining facility for the Fall 2015 semester. The completed projects are reported as capital asset with carrying value of $11.3 million at June 30, 2015 and deferred inflows of resources in the amount of $11.1 million pursuant to the service concession arrangement. The present value of the guaranteed minimum payments over the 15 year contract period include a receivable of $94.6 million and deferred inflows of resources in the amount of $94.8 million pursuant to the service concession arrangement.
In June 2015, the University entered into a contract with Barnes and Noble College Booksellers (Barnes and
Noble) to operate and provide services for the bookstore for ten years with an additional five year renewal option period. Barnes and Noble constructed a temporary bookstore for use until the new student center opens in January 2018. The present value of the guaranteed minimum payments over the 181 month contract period is reported as receivable of $4.3 million and deferred inflows of resources in the amount of $4.9 million pursuant to the service concession arrangement.

The market value of the external trust assets as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $41.5 million and $42.1 million, respectively. As the University does not have ownership of the trust assets held by external trustees, the trusts are recorded at a nominal value of $1 each.
14. PLEDGES AND DEFERRED GIFTS At June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, pledges are expected to be collected primarily over the next 10 years, as follows (in thousands):
2015 2014

Total net pledges receivable 51,887$ 47,963$
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions, the University is required to record operating and capital pledges as revenue when all eligibility requirements have been met. Endowment pledges are not recognized as revenue until the gifts are actually received. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the University recorded the discounted value of operating and capital pledges using a rate of two percent.
45
Deferred gifts through insurance, known bequests and irrevocable trusts in which the University has a remainder interest are estimated to be approximately $115.7 million and $94.5 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The University records these amounts as revenue when the cash is received.
15. GRANTS AND CONTRACTS AWARDED
At June 30, 2015 and 2014, grants and contracts of approximately $189.2 million and $177.7 million, respectively, have been awarded to the University and the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, but not expended. These amounts will be recognized in future periods.
16. RETIREMENT PLANS Regular full-time employees, including faculty, are participants in the University of Kentucky Retirement Plan, a defined contribution plan. The University of Kentucky Retirement Plan consists of five groups as follows:
Group I Established July 1, 1964, for faculty and certain administrative officials.
Group II Established July 1, 1971, for staff members in the clerical, technical and service categories.
Group III Established July 1, 1972, for staff members in the managerial, professional and scientific categories.
Group IV Established January 1, 1973, for staff members having U.S. Civil Service retirement entitlement.
Group V Established July 1, 1987, for staff members covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System that replaced Civil Service (those whose employment began during the period from January 1, 1984 to March 31, 1987). Staff members whose employment began after March 31, 1987 are under one of the above University of Kentucky Retirement Plans.
Participation in the University of Kentucky Retirement Plan is mandatory for all regular full-time employees in groups I, II and III who are age 30 or older. Participation is voluntary for regular full-time employees under the age of 30 and for those employees in groups IV and V. Participants in groups I, II, III and IV contribute five percent and the University contributes 10% of the participant’s eligible compensation to the retirement plan. Participants in group V contribute one percent and the University contributes two percent of the participant’s eligible compensation to the retirement plan.
The University has authorized two retirement plan carriers, as follows:
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association/College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA/CREF) Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company
Under the fully funded University of Kentucky Retirement Plan, the University and plan participants make contributions to provide retirement benefits to employees in individually owned contracts. All payments are vested immediately for employees hired prior to January 1, 2010. For employees hired after January 1, 2010, employer contributions are vested after three years. The University's contributions and costs for 2015 and 2014 were approximately $97.7 million and $91.4 million, respectively. Employees contributed approximately $48.6 million in 2015 and $45.3 million in 2014. The University's total payroll costs were approximately $1.26 billion and $1.18 billion for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The payroll for employees covered by the retirement plan was approximately $975.0 million and $912.1 million for the years ended 2015 and 2014, respectively. Regular full-time KMSF employees become eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan on the first of the month following the employee’s regular full time hire date and attainment of age 21. KMSF contributes 10% of the employee’s earnings and employees do not contribute to this plan. KMSF contributions for 2015 and 2014 were approximately $695,000 and $700,000, respectively. The total payroll costs for employees
46
covered by the defined contribution plan were approximately $7.1 million and $7.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Participants become vested in the plan according to years of service, with 100% vesting at three years or more. In addition to retirement benefits provided from the group retirement plan, the University provides supplemental retirement income benefits to certain eligible employees in each of the retirement groups (see Note 17).
17. MINIMUM ANNUAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME
Employees in retirement groups I, II and III, (see note 16), who were age 40 or older prior to the date of establishment of each group plan, and who were employed by the University prior to that date, qualify for the minimum annual retirement benefit provisions of the retirement plan. Benefits for these eligible employees are based upon a percentage, determined through years of service, of the participant's annual salary in the last year of employment prior to retirement. Retirement benefits as determined are funded by each individual retiree's accumulation in the group retirement plan, with the balance, if necessary, provided by the University as supplemental retirement income. No active employees were eligible for this benefit for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Legislature of the Commonwealth appropriates funds to the University which the University has used for payment of supplemental retirement income benefits since adoption of the group retirement plans, and is expected to continue this practice. However, the Constitution of the Commonwealth prohibits the commitment of future revenues beyond the end of the current biennium. The University does not recognize the liability for supplemental retirement income benefits during the service life of covered employees, but recognizes its costs when funds are appropriated by the Legislature and payments are made. The University intends to continue paying supplemental retirement income benefits. Supplemental retirement benefit payments were approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The latest actuarial valuation was prepared as of July 1, 2014 by TIAA/CREF. The actuarial present value of accumulated supplemental retirement income benefits as determined by this valuation, utilizing an assumed rate of return of seven percent, was approximately $5.9 million.
18. HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR RETIREES The University administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan including medical and
prescription drug benefits. The plan provides lifetime healthcare insurance benefits for eligible retirees and their surviving spouses. Employees are eligible for the University retiree health benefits upon retirement after (a) completing 15 years of continuous service and (b) age plus years of service equal at least 75 years (“rule of 75”). Employees hired on or after January 1, 2006 are eligible to participate in the retiree healthcare plan on an “access only” basis upon retirement, but they must pay 100% of the cost of the selected plan. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2006 are eligible for the University subsidy based on their hire date and surviving spouses receive one-half of the health credit their spouse was entitled to if they were covered by the health plan at the time of the retiree’s death. No health credit is provided to a spouse of a living retiree. Human Resources policies and procedures define retiree health benefits and can be amended by the President of the University as delegated by the Board. Employees who were hired before August 1, 1965 are also eligible for $5,000 of life insurance coverage upon retirement.
The retiree health plan does not issue a publicly available financial report, but it is included in this report of the
University using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting under which expenses, including benefits and refunds, are recorded when the liability is incurred. Employer contributions are recorded in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measureable. Investments are reported at fair market value and based on published prices and quotations from major investment brokers at current exchange rates, as available.
The contribution requirements of plan members and the University are established and may be amended by
the President of the University. For employees hired before January 1, 2006, the University provides a pre-65 credit of up to 90% of the “true retiree” cost of the least expensive pre-65 medical plan. For post-65 benefits, the University provides a credit equal to 90% of the “true retiree” cost of the post-65 medical plan. For fiscal
47
year 2015, the University contributed $20.8 million to the plan. Plan members receiving benefits contributed 30.8% of the premium costs, an average for combined single and family coverage. In fiscal year 2015, total member contributions were approximately $4.9 million.
The University has established a trust fund to segregate plan assets, and currently plans to contribute amounts to the trust fund sufficient to fully fund the annual required contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The University plans to continue to finance retiree benefits by pre-funding benefits and contributing the ARC into a segregated, protected trust fund and will amortize the initial unfunded accrued liability (UAL) over a 30 year closed period. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The current ARC of $20.4 million is 4.0% of annual covered payroll. There are no long-term contracts for contributions to the plan. The following table presents the other postemployment benefits (OPEB) cost for the year, the amount contributed and changes in the OPEB Plan for fiscal year 2015 (in thousands):
Annual required contribution 20,395$ Contributions made (20,543)
Increase in net OPEB obligation/(asset) (148)
Net OPEB obligation/(asset) - beginning of year (239)
Net OPEB obligation/(asset) - end of year (387)$
The University’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan and the net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013, are as follows (in thousands):
Fiscal Year Ended
Annual OPEB cost
Percentage of Annual OPEB
Cost Contributed Net OPEB
Obligation/(Asset)
6/30/2013 $20,392 100.4% ($240)6/30/2014 $19,801 100.0% ($239)6/30/2015 $20,395 100.7% ($387)
As of July 1, 2015, the actuarial accrued liability (AAL) for benefits was $337.7 million, with an actuarial value
of assets of $108.8 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $228.9 million. The July 1, 2015 valuation reflects updates in the following assumptions to better anticipate future experience under the plan: healthcare trend rates, mortality rates, retirement rates, termination rates and participation rates. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $509.6 million and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 44.9% at June 30, 2015. The University implemented the University of Kentucky OPEB Trust in July 2007, after the July 1, 2007 actuarial valuation date. As of June 30, 2015, net trust fund assets totaled $108.8 million.
Actuarial valuation of an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality and the healthcare cost trend. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, is designed to present multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes is based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and includes the type of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects for legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer
48
and plan member in the future. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2013 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial
assumptions included a 7.5% discount rate based on the University’s ARC funding policy based on the expected long-term return on the separate trust assets that will be used to finance the payment of plan benefits. The projected annual healthcare trend rate is eight percent for the pre-65 members and 6.5% for the post-65 members initially, reduced in decrements to an ultimate rate of 2.5% for pre-65 members and five percent for post-65 members after eight years and seven years respectively. The expected long-term payroll growth rate was assumed to be three percent per year. The initial UAAL is being amortized as a level percent of pay amount on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at July 1, 2014 was 23 years.
19. LONG-TERM DISABILITY BENEFIT PLAN
The University is self-funded for a long-term disability income program and has established a trust for the
purpose of paying claims and establishing necessary reserves. Regular employees with a full-time equivalent of .75 or greater who have completed 12 months of service are automatically enrolled in the plan. To be covered, an employee must be actively at work on the first day of the month after the employee completes one full year of service. An employee approved for long-term disability receives benefits based on the employee’s basic regular monthly salary at the time of the onset of the disabling condition. Primary income benefits provide payment of 60% of the basic regular monthly salary less any disability received from government programs and/or another employer for the same condition. Basic salary for medical faculty is defined as the tenure base salary. Other sources of income used in the benefit formula include Social Security, worker’s compensation or other similar government programs, veterans’ or other governmental disability payments, or other employer-sponsored disability benefits.
Employees approved for long-term disability receive 100% of their basic salary for the first six months and 60% thereafter. Benefits end when members recover, die, terminate employment or retire. In most cases, claimants retire at age 65. The plan also includes provisions for health insurance that allow participants who were enrolled in a health plan at the time their disability benefit began to continue health coverage (University subsidy limited to 29 months for claimants approved on or after October 1, 2006), life insurance benefit ($10,000 before July 1, 2007 or one times salary on or after July 1, 2007) and retirement contributions equal to 10% of pre-disability salary per year for applications filed on or after October 1, 2006 and 15% of pre-disability salary per year for applications filed before October 1, 2006.
The long-term disability plan does not issue a publicly available financial report, but is included in this report of the University using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting under which expenses, including benefits and refunds, are recorded when the liability is incurred. Employer contributions are recorded in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measureable. Investments are reported at fair market value and based on published prices and quotations from major investment brokers at current exchange rates, as available. The coverage of the long-term disability benefits is established and may be amended by the President of the University.
The University currently plans to contribute amounts to the trust fund sufficient to fully fund the ARC, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The University plans to continue to finance long-term disabilities by pre-funding benefits and contributing to the ARC into a segregated, protected trust fund and will amortize the initial UAL over a 30 year closed period. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The current ARC of $2.2 million is 0.3% of annual covered payroll. There are no long-term contracts for contributions to the plan.

6/30/2014 $2,139 100.5% ($4)
6/30/2015 $2,203 99.7% $2 As of July 1, 2015, the actuarial accrued liability (AAL) for benefits was $22.7 million and the actuarial value of
assets was $16.6 million, resulting in an UAAL of $6.1 million. The July 1, 2015 valuation reflects updates in the following assumptions to better anticipate future experience under the plan: disability recovery rates, mortality rates, termination rates and retirement rates. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $813.2 million and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 0.8% at June 30, 2015.
Actuarial valuation of an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of events far into the future. Major factors affecting all long-term disability benefits are the rate at which people become disabled and how quickly they are expected to recover from disability. These rates will improve or deteriorate over time, for example with the state of the economy, with technological development and health related events. Other factors that could also impact the liability include salary inflation, changes in utilization patterns, changes to government programs and technological advances, such as new drugs or equipment. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, is designed to present multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes is based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and includes the type of benefits provided at the time of each valuation. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2013 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 7.5% discount rate based on the University’s funding policy (ARC funding) based on the expected long-term return on the separate trust assets that will be used to finance the payment of plan benefits. The projected elimination period is six months; termination (mortality and recovery from disability) and gender and age-related disability incidence rates are based on the 1987 Commissioner’s Group Long-Term Disability Table. Benefits end when members recover, die, terminate employment or retire. For long-term disabilities arising at age 64 or later, the duration of the long-term disability payments is limited to 12 months. Payments are assumed to be made until the later of (a) age 65 or (b) five years after date of disability. An employee approved for long-term disability benefits receives primary and supplemental payment benefits based on the employee's basic regular monthly salary at the time of onset of the disabling condition. Primary income benefits provide payment of 60% of the basic regular monthly salary less any disability received from government programs and/or other employers for the same condition. Basic salary for medical faculty is
50
defined as the tenure base salary. Other sources of income used in the benefit formula include Social Security, workers' compensation or other similar government programs, veterans' or other governmental disability payments, or other employer-sponsored disability benefits. The University provides supplemental payment benefits for 42 months following the date of disability onset based on the following schedule (for current long-term disability participants or employees approved for long-term disability benefits prior to October 1, 2006):
Months Percentage of Salary
1-6 100%
7-18 90%
19-30 80%
31-42 70%
43-End of Benefit 60% Claimants that file applications and who are approved for benefits on October 1, 2006 or after will have benefits based on the following schedule:
Months Percentage of Salary
1-6 100%
7-End of Benefit 60%
The projected long-term income benefit is based on actual net benefit currently being paid with social security offset. For people who have been disabled for less than 24 months and are currently not entitled to a social security offset, it was assumed that the offset will eventually be approved according to the following table:
Months Since Disability Proportion
<12 5%
12-17 40%
18-23 40%
24+ 80%
The future salary increase for active members was assumed to be three percent per year. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percent of pay amount on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at July 1, 2014 was 23 years.
20. RISK MANAGEMENT The University is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. These risks are covered by (1) the State Fire and Tornado Insurance Fund (the insurance fund), (2) Sovereign Immunity and the State Board of Claims, or (3) in the case of risks not covered by the insurance fund and Sovereign Immunity, commercial insurance, participation in insurance risk retention groups or self-insurance. The insurance fund covers losses to property from fire, wind, earthquake, flood and most other causes of loss between $250,000 and $1.0 million per occurrence. Losses in excess of $1.0 million are insured by commercial carriers up to $1.25 billion per occurrence with buildings and contents insured at replacement cost. As a state agency, the University is vested with Sovereign Immunity and is subject to the provisions of the Board of Claims Act, under which the University's liability for certain negligence claims is limited to $200,000 for any one person or $350,000 for all persons damaged by a single act of negligence. Claims against educators' errors and omissions and wrongful acts are insured through a reciprocal risk retention group. There have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage from 2014 to 2015. Settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage during the past three years.

The University and its agents are insured against medical malpractice by a combination of Sovereign Immunity, self-insurance, commercial liability insurance and an excess coverage fund established by the Commonwealth. An actuarial valuation is performed to determine the self-insurance funding requirements and the fund liability, which has been discounted using an interest rate of 3.5%. The malpractice liability as of June 30, 2015 is based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be recorded if it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes an estimate for claims that have been incurred but not reported as of June 30, 2015. The University also self-insures certain employee benefits, including health insurance, worker's compensation and unemployment claims to the extent not covered by insurance. The University has recorded an estimate for asserted claims at June 30, 2015.
21. CONTINGENCIES The University is a defendant in various lawsuits. The nature of the educational and health care industries is such that, from time to time, claims will be presented on account of alleged negligence, acts of discrimination, medical malpractice, breach of contract or disagreements arising from the interpretation of laws or regulations. While some of these claims may be for substantial amounts, they are not unusual in the ordinary course of providing educational and health care services at a large institution. However, University officials are of the opinion, based on advice of in-house legal counsel, that the effect of the ultimate outcome of all litigation will not be material to the future operations or financial position of the University.
22. RESEARCH CHALLENGE TRUST FUND The Research Challenge Trust Fund (RCTF) was created by the Kentucky General Assembly with the passage of the Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 (House Bill 1). The objectives of the RCTF, as stated in House Bill 1, include support of efforts by the University to attain status as a top-20 public research university. The RCTF Endowment Match Program provides state funds on a dollar-for-dollar match basis. This program, also known as “Bucks for Brains,” supports endowed chairs, professorships and graduate fellowships, and the research and graduate mission of the University. With the passage of the 2008-10 budget of the Commonwealth, the 2008 General Assembly authorized $50.0 million in General Fund supported bonds in 2008-09 for the RCTF to support the Endowment Match Program and a newly created Research Capital Match Program. In accordance with KRS 164.7917, these funds were allocated two-thirds to the University of Kentucky ($33.3 million) and one-third to the University of Louisville ($16.7 million). At its June 9, 2009 board meeting, the Board approved the allocation of the University’s RCTF appropriation as follows: $21.9 million to the Research Capital Match Program and $11.4 million to the Endowment Match Program. The status of the RCTF endowed funds as of June 30, 2015, is summarized below (in thousands):

23. CANCER RESEARCH MATCHING FUND The Kentucky General Assembly created the Cancer Research Institutions Matching Fund, which is funded by a one-cent surtax levied on each 20 cigarettes sold in Kentucky. Tax revenues are made available equally to the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville when matched dollar-for-dollar by private sources. A summary of the receipts and expenses related to the fund as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

The Bonds initially will be issued solely in book-entry form to be held in the book-entry-onlysystem maintained by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York. So long as suchbook-entry system is used, only DTC will receive or have the right to receive physical delivery of Bondsand, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to tenders by Beneficial Owners of beneficialownership interests, each actual purchaser of each Bond (a “Beneficial Owner”) will not be or beconsidered to be, and will not have any rights as, owner or holder of the Bonds under the TrustAgreement.
The following information about the book-entry-only system applicable to the Bonds has beensupplied by DTC. Neither the University nor the Trustee makes any representations, warranties orguarantees with respect to its accuracy or completeness.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such othername as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificatewill be issued for in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organizedunder the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New YorkBanking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning ofthe New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisionsof Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and moneymarket instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit withDTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and othersecurities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers andpledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement ofsecurities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding companyfor DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of whichare registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to theDTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationshipwith a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard &Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities andExchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actualpurchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and IndirectParticipants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of theirpurchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details ofthe transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participantthrough which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in theBonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting onbehalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownershipinterests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
E-2
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC areregistered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may berequested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registrationin the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership.DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only theidentity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not bethe Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping accountof their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by DirectParticipants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to BeneficialOwners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatoryrequirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certainsteps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, suchas redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example,Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefithas agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners maywish to provide their names and addresses to the Trustee and request that copies of notices be provideddirectly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds are being redeemed,DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue tobe redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect toBonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under itsusual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the University as soon as possible after the recorddate. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants towhose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the OmnibusProxy).
Redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede &.Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practiceis to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailinformation from the University or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respectiveholdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed bystanding instructions and customary practices, as is the case with Bonds held for the accounts ofcustomers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participantand not of DTC, the Trustee, or the University, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as maybe in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments toCede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is theresponsibility of the University or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants willbe the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be theresponsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any timeby giving reasonable notice to the University or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that asuccessor depository is not obtained, bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The University may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC(or a successor securities depository). In that event, bond certificates will be printed and delivered.
E-3
NEITHER THE UNIVERSITY NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITYOR OBLIGATION TO ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT, INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OR ANYBENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOT SHOWN ON THE REGISTRATIONBOOKS OF THE TRUSTEE AS BEING A HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO: (1) THE BONDS; (2) THEACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT ORINDIRECT PARTICIPANT; (3) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT ORINDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECTOF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF TENDERED BONDS OR THE PRINCIPAL OR REDEMPTIONPRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS; (4) THE DELIVERY BY ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANTOR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WHICH ISREQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE INDENTURE TO BE GIVEN TOHOLDERS; (5) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT INTHE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (6) ANY CONSENT GIVENOR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS HOLDER.
Each Beneficial Owner for whom a Direct Participant or Indirect Participant acquires an interestin the Bonds, as nominee, may desire to make arrangements with such Direct Participant or IndirectParticipant to receive a credit balance in the records of such Direct Participant or Indirect Participant, tohave all notices of redemption, elections to tender Bonds or other communications to or by DTC whichmay affect such Beneficial Owner forwarded in writing by such Direct Participant or Indirect Participant,and to have notification made of all debt service payments.
Beneficial Owners may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, or other governmentalcharge that may be imposed in relation to any transfer or exchange of their interests in the Bonds.
The University cannot and does not give any assurances that DTC, Direct Participants, IndirectParticipants or others will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds made to DTC or its nomineeas the registered owner, or any redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will doso on a timely basis, or that DTC, Direct Participants or Indirect Participants will serve and act in themanner described in this Official Statement.
Certain duties of DTC and procedures to be followed by DTC and the Trustee are set forth inDTC’s operational arrangements (the “Operational Arrangements”). In the event of any conflict betweenthe provisions of the Indenture and the provisions of the Operational Arrangements relating to thepayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and all notices with respect to theBonds, the provisions of the Operational Arrangements shall control. The University has executed ablanket letter of representations enabling the Bonds to be eligible for DTC’s book-entry only system.
The information in this APPENDIX E concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has beenobtained from sources that the University believes to be reliable, but the University takes no responsibilityfor the accuracy thereof.
