This discussion has been prepared by members of the University administrative team and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes, which follow this section. The University is one of 32 colleges and universities comprising the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System, which is governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor. Twelve trustees serve six-year terms, eight representing each of Minnesota’s congressional districts, and four serving at large. The three remaining trustees are students; one from a state university, a community college, and a technical college, each serving two-year terms. The Board of Trustees selects the chancellor and has broad policy responsibility for system planning, academic programs, fiscal management, personnel, admissions requirements, tuition and fees, and policies and procedures. The University is a welcoming educational community that offers rigorous courses of study and places high expectations upon its 8,500 students. Our strong commitment to faculty-mentored undergraduate research and intellectual growth provides students with continual opportunities for personal and professional achievement. The University continues to foster an environment that encourages students to become versatile, thoughtful, innovative, and engaged leaders who contribute to their professions and their communities. Minnesota State University Moorhead values diversity and mutual respect and strives to instill these ideals throughout the institution. The University honors its heritage as a respected, student-focused, public university and continues to enhance our students' lives at the same time that it contributes to the community and the region. The University offers graduate and professional programs that contribute to the state and region through increased collaboration with local and state business, industry, and human services to assure optimal preparation of graduates. The University builds upon a solid foundation of high quality teaching and learning as it commits to a future as the premiere liberal arts and sciences-based university in the region. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Total assets increased $18.0 million in fiscal year 2011 following a $13.9 million increase in fiscal year 2010. Total liabilities increased $8.3 million in fiscal year 2011, following a $1.2 million increase in fiscal year 2010. These changes resulted in net assets at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 of $98.7 million and $89.0 million, respectively. The major factors impacting the financial position have been an increase to cash and cash equivalents due to financial restructuring, building improvements, with an offsetting of decreased state appropriation from the state of Minnesota. USING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The University’s financial report includes three financial statements: the statements of net assets, the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets, and the statements of cash flows. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as established by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) through authoritative pronouncements. The University has included a summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements. These statements establish standards for external financial reporting for public 13 colleges and universities and require that financial statements be presented on a consolidated basis to focus on the University as a whole, with resources classified for accounting and reporting purposes into four net asset categories. STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS The statements of net assets present the financial position of the University at the end of the fiscal year and include all assets and liabilities of the University as measured using the accrual basis of accounting. The difference between total assets and total liabilities (net assets) is one indicator of the current financial condition of the University, while the change in net assets is an indicator of whether the overall financial condition has improved or deteriorated during the year. Capital assets are stated at historical cost less an allowance for depreciation, with current year depreciation reflected as a period expense on the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets. A summary of the University’s assets, liabilities and net assets at June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, follows: Summarized Statements of Net Assets (In Thousands) 2011 2010 2009 Assets Current assets $ 51,436 $ 45,426 $ 37,863 Current restricted assets 12,525 6,609 7,499 Noncurrent restricted assets 2,358 10 8,544 Noncurrent assets, net 102,857 99,156 83,378 Total assets 169,176 151,201 137,284 Liabilities Current liabilities 17,690 17,615 14,719 Noncurrent liabilities 52,754 44,498 46,194 Total liabilities 70,444 62,113 60,913 Net assets Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 67,103 63,378 55,645 Restricted expendable, bond covenants 12,296 8,457 7,561 Restricted expendable, other 4,892 4,471 4,426 Unrestricted 14,441 12,782 8,739 Total net assets $ 98,732 $ 89,088 $ 76,371 Current unrestricted assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling $46.2 million at June 30, 2011. This represents approximately 6.13 months of total operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for fiscal year 2011. Noncurrent assets of $105.2 million, represents the value of the land, buildings, construction in progress, equipment, library collections, and federal Perkins loans receivable. The total value for noncurrent assets is reduced by accumulated depreciation. Current liabilities consist primarily of accounts payable, salaries and benefits payable, compensated absences, workers’ compensation, current portion of long-term debt, and unearned revenue. Salaries and benefits payable totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2011. Faculty contracts paid over twelve months on a nine month school year, account for a significant amount in salaries payable. Unearned revenue consists of summer session tuition and grant receipts received, but not yet earned. At June 30, 2011, $2.0 million was being held as unearned revenue. Summer session began in May and ended in August, 2011, with its tuition revenue being allocated based on the number of session days in fiscal year 2011. Noncurrent liabilities include $7.4 million in other compensation benefits including compensated absences, the value of employee vacation/sick leave, and workers’ compensation as of June 30, 2011. The remaining 14 balance of the noncurrent liabilities is mainly represented by revenue and general obligation bonds payable, capital leases payable and capital contributions payable to the federal government for the capital used in the Perkins loan program. At June 30, 2011, the University’s net assets increased by $9.6 million over fiscal year 2010. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt, represents the University’s capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and outstanding principal balances of debt attributed to the acquisition, construction, and/or improvement of the assets. Restricted net assets primarily include the amounts reserved for the University’s capital projects, Perkins loans, faculty contracts, and bond covenants. CAPITAL AND DEBT ACTIVITIES One of the critical factors necessary to assure the quality of the University’s academic programs and residential life experience is the development and renewal of its capital assets. The University continues to provide good stewardship of university facilities through planning and execution of projects that address deferred maintenance in older facilities, modernizing interiors and, when existing buildings cannot meet special needs, adding new construction. Revenue and general obligation bonds payable totaled $37.2 million at June 30, 2011, a $7.8 million increase over fiscal year 2010. These bonds are issued in order to finance construction and renovation of the student union and residence hall buildings. Capital asset expenditures totaled $11.0 million, $11.9 million and $8.8 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This significant financial commitment to capital asset development and renewal includes the projects described below. Utilizing resources provided through revenue bond, general obligation bond and University operating funds, the University executed and completed numerous repair, replacement and restoration projects. All improvement projects were managed within budget and as scheduled and they incorporated the use of sustainable design and energy efficient materials. Major projects in fiscal year 2011: Restoration of the $15 Million Lommen Hall Building Funded in fiscal year 2009 through general obligation bonds, this remodeling project addresses significant deferred maintenance within the 80 year old facility. Completed in fiscal year 2011, Lommen Hall provides the University with updated and more energy efficient and functional classrooms, instructional labs and student service facilities. Design, development and contract documents were completed during the fall of fiscal year 2008. The project was bid and work was underway in early spring of fiscal year 2009. Remodeling of the first phase (west section) of the two phased Lommen Hall project progressed as scheduled with $8.1 million of the remodeling completed in fiscal year 2010. The entire complex opened for use during the spring semester of fiscal year 2011. Remodeling of Livingston Lord Library and Information Technology Center The 2008 legislature funded $0.4 million in planning through schematic design. By the end of fiscal year 2009, the architectural designer was selected and under contract and work on the schematic design was completed. The first phase of window and curtain wall redesign was completed in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of $2.5 million. An additional $14.9 million in capital funds were allocated in fiscal year 2011 for interior redesign. The project extensively addresses a significant backlog of deferred maintenance in this 50 year old facility. It provides improved learning and work environments that support changing student needs, curriculum techniques and collaborative research/study. 15 Land Acquisition During fiscal year 2011, final plans were made for the acquisition of non university owned property in the five block expansion area of campus. Property owned by the Diocese of Crookston was acquired for $0.43 million and the transfer of Foundation owned properties to the University was made in the fall of fiscal year 2011. STATEMENTS OF REVENUES, EXPENSES, AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS The statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets present the University’s results of operations. Tuition revenue continued to rise due to an increase in the tuition rate and converting to a banded tuition structure. Net tuition, auxiliary, sales, and room and board revenue totaled $50.9 million, a decrease of $1.6 million over fiscal year 2010, net of scholarship allowance of $14.8 million. The scholarship allowance is based on the actual application of federal, state and private grant monies being applied to student accounts. See Note 12 for additional information. A summary of the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets for fiscal years ended June, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, follows: Summarized Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets (In Thousands) 2011 Operating revenues and expenses Operating revenues Operating expenses Operating loss Nonoperating revenues and expenses Income before other revenues, expenses, gains or losses Other revenues, expenses, gains or losses Change in net assets Net assets, beginning of year Net assets, end of year 2010 $ 51,660 $ 53,339 (95,159) (97,944) (43,499) (44,605) 47,647 48,622 4,148 4,017 5,496 8,700 9,644 12,717 89,088 76,371 $ 98,732 $ 89,088 2009 $ 48,077 (92,086) (44,009) 44,682 673 3,188 3,861 72,510 $ 76,371 COMPONENT UNIT The Minnesota State University Moorhead Alumni Foundation, Inc. is a component unit of Minnesota State University Moorhead. As such, the separately audited financial statements for the Foundation are included but shown separately from those of the University. The Foundation contributed $465,762, $550,394 and $582,653 to University scholarships for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT WILL AFFECT THE FUTURE Fiscal year 2012 and the New Biennium Looking to the future, management believes the University is positioned to continue its strong level of excellence. Conservative budget planning in the current biennium has provided adequate cash reserves which will help to address future unforeseen budget needs. 16 As anticipated, Fall 2011 enrollment slightly decreased from the same period the year before. Budget preparations are being made to address potential declines in state support while shaping the university for changing needs of the future. Long-Term Budget Plans Long term budget planning, with various assumptions, is providing a roadmap for the financial outlook of the University. The two major sources of revenue for the University are state funding and tuition receipts. State funding is volatile and is likely to decrease. Tuition revenue is likely to increase through a combination of rate increases and enrollment growth. Rate increases will be held to a minimum and planning is underway to gradually increase enrollment by 500 to a head count of 8,000. Strategies to increase enrollment include focused recruitment, increased offerings for online courses, expanded offerings in the Twin Cities market, and increased retention. The greatest share of expenses for the University is personnel costs. Compensation increases during the past few years have been minimal or non-existent which has provided some relief for a balanced budget. Future compensation increases, included in future bargaining unit contacts, which will be negotiated by the Minnesota State Colleges and University System Office, and Minnesota Management & Budget, have been built into current budgets. Long range expense projections will provide for salary increases in the 3 to 5 percent range. It is expected that the impact of compensation increases will out-pace revenue that we can expect from tuition increases and/or enrollment growth. This will force the University to create efficiencies. Results from research and benchmarking projects that are underway should provide a basis for ratio, revenue, and cost comparisons which will be used to implement efficiencies and/or create a structure for additional revenue streams.

2010 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation — The reporting policies of Minnesota State University Moorhead, a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The statements of net assets; statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and statements of cash flows include financial activities of Minnesota State University Moorhead. Financial Reporting Entity — Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is an agency of the state of Minnesota and receives appropriations from the state legislature, substantially all of which are used to fund general operations. Minnesota State University Moorhead receives a portion of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities’ appropriation. The operations of most student organizations are included in the reporting entity because the Board of Trustees has certain fiduciary responsibilities for these resources. Discretely presented component units are legally separate organizations that raise and hold economic resources for the direct benefit of a college or university in accordance with GASB Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units. Moorhead State University Foundation is considered significant to the University and is included as a discretely presented component unit and separately identified in Note 18. Complete financial statements may be obtained from Moorhead State University Foundation, 1104 Seventh Avenue South, Moorhead, MN 56563. Basis of Accounting — The basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized and reported in the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as a special purpose government entity engaged in business type activities. Business type activities are those that are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or services. Accordingly, these financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized as they are incurred. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Interfund receivables and payables have been eliminated in the statements of net assets. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities applies all applicable Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements issued prior to November 30, 1989, and GASB statements issued since that date. Budgetary Accounting — University budgetary accounting, which is the basis for annual budgets and the allocation of state appropriations, differs from GAAP. University budgetary accounting includes all receipts and expenses up to the close of the books in August for the budget fiscal year. Revenues not yet received by the close of the books are not included. The criterion for recognizing expenses is the actual disbursement, not when the goods or services are received. The state of Minnesota operates on a two year (biennial) budget cycle ending on June 30 of odd numbered years. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is governed by a 15 member board of trustees appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the state senate. The Board approves the University biennial budget request and allocation as part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities’ total budget. Budgetary control is maintained at the University. The University President has the authority and responsibility to administer the budget and can transfer money between programs within the University without Board approval. The budget of the University can be legally amended by the authority of the Vice Chancellor/Chief Financial Officer of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. 24 State appropriations do not lapse at year end. Any unexpended appropriation from the first year of a biennium is available for the second year. Any unexpended balance may also carry over into future bienniums. Capital Appropriation Revenue — Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is responsible for paying one third of the debt service for certain general obligation bonds sold for capital projects, as specified in the authorizing legislation. The portion of general obligation bond debt service that is payable by the state of Minnesota is recognized by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities as capital appropriation revenue when the related bond sale proceeds are received. Individual colleges and universities are allocated cash, capital appropriation revenue, and debt based on capital project expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The cash balance represents cash in the state treasury and demand deposits in local bank accounts as well as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments having original maturities (remaining time to maturity at acquisition) of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in demand deposits, savings accounts, cash management pools, repurchase agreements, and money market funds. Restricted cash is cash held for capital projects and cash in the Revenue Fund for capital projects and debt service. The Revenue Fund is used to account for the revenues, expenses, and net assets of revenue producing facilities, which are supported through usage. It has the authority to sell revenue bonds for the construction and maintenance of revenue producing facilities. All balances related to the state appropriation, tuition revenues, debt service, and most fees are in the state treasury. The University also has five accounts in two local banks. The activities handled through local banks include financial aid, student payroll, auxiliary, and student activities. Investments — The Minnesota State Board of Investment invests the University’s balances in the state treasury, except for the Revenue Fund, as part of a state investment pool. This asset is reported as a cash equivalent. Interest income earned on pooled investments is retained by the System Office and allocated to the colleges and universities as part of the appropriation allocation process. Cash in the Revenue Fund is invested separately. The Fund contracts with the Minnesota State Board of Investment and U.S. Bank, N.A. for investment management services. Investments are reported at fair value. Restricted investments are investments held in the Revenue Fund for capital projects and debt service. Receivables — Receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Inventories — Inventories are valued at cost using the first in, first out cost method. Prepaid Expense — Prepaid expense consists primarily of deposits in the state of Minnesota Debt Service Fund for future general obligation bond payments. Capital Assets — Capital assets are recorded at cost or, for donated assets, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Estimated historical cost has been used when actual cost is not available. Such assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight line basis over the useful life of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Asset Type Buildings Building improvements Equipment Library collections 25 Useful Life 30-40 years 15-20 years 3-20 years 7 years Equipment includes all items with an original cost of $10,000 and over for items purchased since July 1, 2009; $5,000 and over for items purchased between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2009; and $2,000 and over for items purchased prior to July 1, 2003. Buildings, building improvements, and internally developed software include all projects with a cost of $250,000 and over for projects started since July 1, 2009, and $100,000 and over for projects started prior to July 1, 2009. All land and library collection purchases are capitalized regardless of amount spent. Funds Held for Others — Funds held for others are primarily assets held for student organizations. Long Term Liabilities — The state of Minnesota appropriates for and sells general obligation bonds to support construction and renovation of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities’ facilities as approved through the state’s capital budget process. The University is responsible for a portion of the debt service on the bonds sold for some University projects. The University may also enter into capital lease agreements for certain capital assets. Other long term liabilities include compensated absences, early termination, net other postemployment benefits, workers’ compensation claims, notes payable, and capital contributions associated with Perkins Loan agreements with the United States Department of Education. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities may finance the construction, renovation, and acquisition of facilities for student residences and student unions through the sale of revenue bonds. These activities are accounted for and reported in the Revenue Fund portion included herein. Details on the Revenue Fund bonds are available in the separately audited and issued Revenue Fund financial report. Copies are available from the Financial Reporting Director, Wells Fargo Place, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, 30 Seventh Street East, Suite 350, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-7804. Unearned Revenue — Unearned revenue consists primarily of tuition received, but not yet earned for summer and fall sessions. It also includes amounts received from grants, which have not yet been earned under the terms of the agreement, and room and board deposits received, but not yet earned. Operating Activities — Operating activities as reported in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets are those that generally result from exchange transactions such as payments received for providing services and payments made for services or goods received. Nearly all of the University’s expenses are from exchange transactions. Certain significant revenue streams relied upon for operations are recorded as nonoperating revenues including state appropriations, federal, state and private grants. Tuition, Fees, and Sales, Net — Tuition, fees, and sales are reported net of scholarship allowances. See Note 12 for additional information. Restricted Student Payments — Restricted student payments consist of room, board, sales, and fee revenue restricted for payment of revenue bonds, and are net of scholarship allowances. See Note 12 for additional information. Federal Grants — Minnesota State University Moorhead participates in several federal grant programs. The largest programs include Pell, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Carl Perkins, and Federal Work Study. Federal Grant revenue is recognized as nonoperating revenue in accordance with GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions. During fiscal years 2011 and 2010, $1,250,636 and $3,178,450 of federal aid was recognized as revenue related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, respectively. Of this amount, $684,820 and $638,644, respectively, was used to mitigate tuition increases that would have otherwise been necessary. Expenditures under government contracts are subject to review by the granting authority. To the extent, if any, that such a review reduces expenditures allowable under these contracts, the University will record such disallowance at the time the determination is made. 26 Reclassifications— Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. These classifications had no effect on net assets previously reported. Cost of goods sold in the amount of $3,597,107, reported in fiscal year 2010 as a reduction to sales revenue, was reclassified to an operating expense. Capital appropriation revenue in the amount of $32,000 was reclassified as state appropriation revenue. Additionally, fiscal year 2010 restricted expendable net assets restriction in the amount of $1,707,134 was reclassified to invested in capital assets, net of related debt. Use of Estimates — To prepare the basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management must make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant areas that require the use of management’s estimates relate to allowances for uncollectible accounts, scholarship allowances, workers’ compensation claims, and compensated absences. Net Assets — The difference between assets and liabilities is net assets. Net assets are classified further for accounting and reporting purposes into the following three net asset categories: • Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and outstanding principal balances of debt attributable to acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. • Restricted expendable: Net assets subject to externally imposed stipulations. Net asset restrictions for the University are as follows: Restricted for bond covenants — revenue bond restrictions. Restricted for other — includes restrictions for the following: Donations — restricted per donor requests. Loans — University capital contributed for Perkins loans. Capital projects — restricted for completion of capital projects. Debt service — legally restricted for bond debt repayments. Faculty contract obligations — faculty development and travel required by contracts. Restricted for Other (In Thousands) 2011 Donations $ 20 Loans 637 Capital projects 110 Debt service 3,372 Faculty contract obligations 753 Total $ 4,892 • 2. 2010 16 639 –– 3,192 624 $ 4,471 $ Unrestricted: Net assets that are not subject to externally imposed stipulations. Unrestricted net assets may be designated for specific purposes by action of management, the System Office, or the Board of Trustees. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents — All balances related to the appropriation, tuition, and most fees are in the state treasury. In addition, the University has five accounts in two local banks. The activities handled through local banks include financial aid, student payroll, auxiliary, and student activities. 27 Minnesota Statutes, Section 118A.03, requires that deposits be secured by depository insurance or a combination of depository insurance and collateral securities held in the state’s name by an agent of the state. This statute further requires that such insurance and collateral shall be at least ten percent greater than the amount on deposit. The following tables summarizes cash and cash equivalents: Year Ended June 30 (In Thousands) Carrying Amount Cash, in bank $ Repurchase agreements Cash, trustee account (US Bank) Total local cash and cash equivalents Total treasury cash accounts Grand Total $ 2011 821 2,076 2,839 5,736 48,488 54,224 2010 773 595 2,741 4,109 35,883 $ 39,992 $ At June 30, 2011 and 2010, Minnesota State University Moorhead’s local bank balances were $1,860,880 and $937,000, respectively. These bank balances were adjusted by items in transit to arrive at the University’s cash in bank balance. The University’s balance in the state treasury, except for the Revenue Fund, is invested by the Minnesota State Board of Investment as part of the state investment pool. This asset is reported as a cash equivalent. The cash accounts are invested in short term, liquid, high quality debt securities. Investments — The Minnesota State Board of Investment manages the majority of the state’s investments. All investments managed by the Minnesota State Board of Investment are governed by Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 11A and 356A. Minnesota Statutes, Section 11A.24, broadly restricts investments to obligations and stocks of the United States and Canadian governments, their agencies, and registered corporations; other international securities; short term obligations of specified high quality; restricted participation as a limited partner in venture capital, real estate, or resource equity investments; and the restricted participation in registered mutual funds. Generally, when applicable, the statutes limit investments to those rated within the top four quality rating categories of a nationally recognized rating agency. The statutes further prescribe the maximum percentage of fund assets that may be invested in various assets classes and contain specific restrictions to ensure the quality of the investments. Within statutory parameters, the Minnesota State Board of Investment has established investment guidelines and benchmarks for all funds under its management. These investment guidelines and benchmarks are tailored to the particular needs of each fund and specify investment objectives, risk tolerance, asset allocation, investment management structure, and specific performance standards. Custodial Credit Risk — Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty, the University will not be able to recover the value of the investments that are in the possession of an outside party. Board procedure 7.5.1 requires compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 118A.03, and further excludes the use of FDIC insurance when meeting collateral requirements. Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University’s policy for reducing its exposure to credit risk is to comply with Minnesota Statutes, Section 118A.04. This statute limits investments to the top quality rating categories of a nationally recognized rating agency. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, Minnesota State University Moorhead had debt securities rated equivalent to Standard and Poor’s AAA. 28 Concentration of Credit Risk — Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The University’s policy for reducing this risk of loss is to comply Board procedure 7.5.1 which recommends investments be diversified by type and issuer. Interest Rate Risk — Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University complies with Board procedure 7.5.1 that recommends considering fluctuating interest rates and cash flow needs when purchasing short term and long term debt investments. As of June 30, Minnesota State University Moorhead had the following investments and maturities: Year Ended June 30 (In Thousands) 2011 Weighted Fair Maturity Investment Type Value (In Years) 18.11 U.S. agencies $ 1,639 1,639 Total 18.11 Portfolio weighted average maturity 2,839 Certificates of deposit Total fair value $ 4,478 3. 2010 Fair Value $ 3,520 3,520 Weighted Maturity (In Years) 3.99 3.99 2,740 $ 6,260 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The accounts receivable balances are made up primarily of receivables from individuals. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the total accounts receivable balances for the University were $2,661,235 and $2,863,932, respectively, less an allowance for uncollectible receivables of $869,500 and $1,118,296, respectively.

PREPAID EXPENSE Prepaid expense consists primarily of funds which have been deposited in the state’s Debt Service Fund for future general obligation bond payments in the amounts of $1,507,262 and $1,462,243 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. Minnesota Statutes, Section 16A.641, requires all state agencies to have on hand on December 1 of each year an amount sufficient to pay all general obligation bond principal and interest due, and to become due, through July 1 of the second fiscal year. Also, included in prepaid expense for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 was $54,580 and $54,976, respectively, stemming from prepaid software maintenance agreements and prepaid contractual support. 5. LOANS RECEIVABLE The loans receivable balance consists of loans under the Federal Perkins Loan Program. The federal government provides most of the funding for the loans with amounts collected used for new loan advances. The University is responsible for loan collections. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the total loans receivable for this program were $5,993,654 and $6,067,906, respectively, less an allowance for uncollectible loans of $347,867 and $340,896, respectively. 6.

Amortization is calculated using the straight line method and amortized over the remaining life of the bonds. Capital Leases — Liabilities for capital leases include those leases that meet the criteria in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ACS) 840, Leases. See Note 11 for additional information. General Obligation Bonds — The state of Minnesota sells general obligation bonds to finance most of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities’ capital projects. The interest rate on these bonds ranges from 2.0 to 5.5 percent. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is responsible for paying one third of the debt service for certain general obligation bonds sold for those capital projects, as specified in the authorizing legislation. This debt obligation is allocated to the colleges and universities based upon the specific projects funded. The general obligation bond liability included in these financial statements represents the University’s share. Revenue Bonds — The Revenue Fund is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Section 136F.98, to issue revenue bonds whose aggregate principal shall not exceed $300,000,000 at any time. The proceeds of these bonds are used to finance the acquisition, construction and remodeling of buildings for residence hall, food service, student union, and other revenue-producing and related facilities at the state universities. Revenue bonds currently outstanding have interest rates of 3 percent to 6.5 percent. The revenue bonds are payable solely from, and collateralized by, an irrevocable pledge of revenues to be derived from the operation of the financed buildings and from student fees. These revenue bonds are payable through 2032. Annual principal and interest payments on the bonds are expected to require less than 11.19 percent of net revenues. The total principal and interest remaining to be paid on the bonds is $32.9 million. Principal and interest paid for the current year and total customer net revenues were $1.5 million and $13.4 million, respectively. Compensated Absences — University employees accrue vacation leave, sick leave, and compensatory leave at various rates within limits specified in the collective bargaining agreements. The liability for compensated absences is payable as severance pay under specific conditions. This leave is liquidated only at the time of termination from state employment. Early Termination Benefits— Early termination benefits are the benefits received for discontinuing services earlier than planned. See note 9 for details. Net Other Postemployment Benefits — Other postemployment benefits are health insurance benefits for certain retired employees under a single employer fully insured plan. Under the health benefits program retirees are required to pay 100 percent of the total premium cost. Since the premium is a blended rate determined on the entire active and retiree population, the retirees are receiving an implicit rate subsidy. See note 10 for further details. Workers’ Compensation — The state of Minnesota Department of Management and Budget manages the self insured workers’ compensation claims activities. The reported liability for workers’ compensation of $879,108 and $603,117 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is based on claims filed for injuries to state employees occurring prior to the fiscal year end and is an undiscounted estimate of future payments. Capital Contributions — The liability of $5,599,244 and $5,619,569 at June 30, 2011 and 2010 represents the amount the University would owe the federal government if it were to discontinue the Perkins loan program. The net change is $(20,325) and $44,736 for the fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. Principal and interest payment schedules are provided in the following tables for revenue bonds, general obligation bonds, notes payable, and capital leases. There are no payment schedules for bond premium/discount, compensated absences, early termination benefits, other postemployment, workers’ compensation, or capital contributions. 33 Fiscal Years 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017-2021 2022-2026 2027-2031 2032-2036 Total 9.

Minnesota Statutes section 136F.481 authorized the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees to implement an early separation incentive program in fiscal year 2010. Additionally, the Inter Faculty Organization (IFO) bargaining unit contract provides for this benefit. The following is a description of the different benefit arrangements including the number of retired employees receiving the benefit and the amount of future liability as of the end of fiscal years 2011 and 2010. Minnesota State University Association of Administrative Service Faculty (MSUAASF) contract — The MSUAASF contract allows faculty members who meet certain eligibility and combination of age and years of service requirements to receive an early retirement incentive cash payment based on base salary at time of separation, as well as an amount equal to the employer’s contribution for one year’s health insurance premiums deposited in his/her health care savings plan at time of separation. The cash incentive can be paid either in one or two payments. The number of retired faculty who received this benefit and the amount of future liability for faculty as of the end of fiscal years 2011 and 2010 follow: Fiscal Year 2011 2010 Number of Faculty 2 6 Future Liability (In Thousands) $ 42 187 MnSCU Board Early Separation Incentive Program — Employees of the University accepted incentives in the form of contributions to a health care savings plan and cash payments in return for voluntarily separating from employment by the University.

The cash incentive can be paid either in one or two payments. The number of retired faculty who received this benefit and the amount of future liability for those faculty members as of the end of fiscal years 2011 and 2010 follow: Fiscal Year 2011 2010 Number of Faculty 4 7 Future Liability (In Thousands) $ 90 181 10. NET OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The University provides health insurance benefits for certain retired employees under a single employer fully insured plan, as required by Minnesota Statute, 471.61, subdivision 2B. Active employees who retire when eligible to receive a retirement benefit from a Minnesota public pension plan and do not participate in any other health benefits program providing coverage similar to that herein described, will be eligible to continue coverage with respect to both themselves and their eligible dependent(s) under the health benefits program. Retirees are required to pay 100 percent of the total premium cost. Since the premium is a blended rate determined on the entire active and retiree population, the retirees are receiving an implicit rate subsidy. As of July 1, 2010 there were approximately 46 retirees receiving health benefits from the health plan. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation — The annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The following table shows the components of the annual OPEB cost for 2011 and 2010, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the net OPEB obligation: Components of the Annual OPEB Cost (In Thousands) 2011 Annual required contribution (ARC) Interest on net OPEB obligation Adjustment to ARC Annual OPEB Cost Contributions during the year Increase in net OPEB obligation Net OPEB obligation, beginning of year Net OPEB obligation, end of year $ 516 32 (26) 522 (394) 128 672 $ 800 2010 $ 470 24 (20) 474 (307) 167 505 $ 672 The University’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan and the net OPEB obligation for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were as follows: For Year Ended June 30 (In Thousands) 2011 672 Beginning of year net OPEB obligation $ Annual OPEB cost 522 Employer contribution (394) $ End of year net OPEB obligation 800 Percentage contributed 75.48% 35 $ $ 2010 505 474 (307) 672 64.77% Funding Status — There are currently no assets that have been irrevocably deposited in a trust for future health benefits. Therefore, the actuarial value of assets is zero.

Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and healthcare cost trends. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types 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, consistent with the long term perspective of the calculations. In the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.75 percent discount rate, which is based on the estimated long term investment yield on the general assets, using an underlying long term inflation assumption of 3 percent. The annual healthcare cost trend rate is 6.25 percent initially, reduced incrementally to an ultimate rate of 5 percent after twenty years. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level dollar amount over an open 30 year period. 11.
