The Bonds are issuable as fully registered bonds in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Principal of the Bonds is payable at the principal office of the Trustee.

Interest will be payable by check drawn upon the Trustee or by wire transfer if requested by a Registered Owner of Bonds in the principal amount of $1,000,000 or more. The Bonds are not subject to redemption prior to maturity.

SECURITY FOR THE BONDS The Bonds will be general obligations only of the Board and will not constitute an indebtedness for which the full faith and credit of the State of Arkansas or any of its revenues are pledged, and the Bonds are not secured by a mortgage or a lien on any land or building belonging to the State of Arkansas or to the Board. To the extent Pledged Revenues are insufficient to pay obligations under the Indenture, the Board shall pay such obligations from such other moneys as are available to the Board under the Constitution and laws of the State. The Bonds will be secured by Pledged Revenues on a parity of security with respect to each other. The Bonds are issued and secured on a parity basis with respect to the Pledged Revenues to the Series 2010 Bonds, the Series 2011 Bonds and the Series 2013 Bonds, to the extent outstanding. The term “Pledged Revenues” is defined as (i) Athletic Gate Receipts (defined in the Indenture as those revenues of UA, Fayetteville derived from men’s intercollegiate athletic events, including settlements, guarantees, the sale of tickets, television and radio revenues, concession revenues, and all amounts transferred from the Razorback Foundation, Inc., or the successor thereto, representing priority seating requirement proceeds, which are received by the Men’s Athletic Department of UA, Fayetteville, less amounts paid to state and local taxing authorities and amounts paid by UA, Fayetteville, for settlements and guarantees for scheduled men’s intercollegiate athletic events, together with (ii) revenues of UA, Fayetteville, derived from any Student Athletic Fee (defined in the Indenture as any fee charged to students attending UA, Fayetteville to support intercollegiate athletics, whether such fee is imposed pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated Sections 6-62-801 through 6-62-806 or pursuant to Section 711 of the Indenture).

Pledged Revenues for each of the last five fiscal years are set out below under THE FAYETTEVILLE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY, Pledged Revenues. The existing obligations payable from Pledged Revenues are shown under THE FAYETTEVILLE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY, Existing Obligations. The Board has reserved the right to pledge Pledged Revenues to additional bonds to be issued under the Act, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Indenture (see SUMMARY OF THE INDENTURE, Additional Bonds). The issuance of additional bonds is subject to compliance with the requirements of the Indenture, and the pledge in favor of the additional bonds may either be on a parity with, or subordinate to the pledge in favor of the Bonds. The Board has covenanted (i) to promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, (ii) that it shall use due diligence to ensure collection of the Pledged Revenues until all Bonds have been retired in full, (iii) that it will maintain Pledged Revenues at a level equal to or exceeding 115% of current annual debt service on the Bonds, the Series 2010 Bonds, the Series 2011 Bonds, the Series 2013 Bonds and any Additional Parity Bonds and trustee’s and paying agent’s fees on such bonds, (iv) that it will, to the extent necessary to maintain Pledged Revenues at the 115% coverage described in the preceding sentence, impose a Student Athletic Fee on students attending the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, (v) not to pledge the Pledged Revenues as security for any other indebtedness or borrowing and not to create any charges upon or liens against the Pledged Revenues, except as permitted to secure additional bonds as permitted pursuant to the Act (see SUMMARY OF THE INDENTURE, Additional Bonds), and (vi) to promptly discharge all claims and judgments which will become liens against the Pledged Revenues. The Board has never defaulted on debt service payments on any bonded indebtedness. 3

BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM

The information in this caption concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from DTC, and neither the Board, the Trustee nor the Underwriters take any responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book- entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities 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-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC 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 relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. 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 actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

4

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Board as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend 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 practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Board or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with Bonds held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the Board, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Board or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Board or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Board may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Regions Bank (“Trustee”) will be the Trustee under the Indenture. The Trustee has experience serving as trustee, paying agent, and registrar for municipalities, school districts, universities, state and county agencies, hospitals, retirement centers, and various non-profit entities, as well as to issuers of corporate debt. The Trustee may resign at any time. The Trustee may be removed at any time (i) by the Board; provided, however, that the Board may not remove the Trustee so long as an Event of Default (as defined under SUMMARY OF THE INDENTURE, herein) shall have occurred which has not been cured, or any event shall have occurred which with the passage of time would lead to an Event of Default, or (ii) by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, signed by the registered owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of each series of bonds issued under the Indenture and then outstanding. No such resignation or removal will be effective until a successor Trustee is appointed and has accepted the appointment. Each successor Trustee must be a trust company or bank organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of a state, duly authorized to exercise trust powers and which has a reported capital surplus of at least $75,000,000. The preceding criteria may be met by a parent corporation if the parent corporation has guaranteed the obligations of the successor Trustee. The Trustee is also the bond registrar and paying agent for the Bonds. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice, the Trustee shall perform only the duties specifically set forth in the Indenture. The Trustee is deemed to have notice only of Events of Default described under paragraphs (a) or (b) under SUMMARY OF THE INDENTURE, Events of Default, and of other Events of Default of which it has received written notice from the owners of not less than 20% in outstanding principal amount of the Bonds. During the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice, the Trustee is required to use the degree of care and skill in the exercise of its duties as would be exercised by a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee shall not be required to take any action in discharging its trust until it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all costs and expenses, outlays and counsel fees, and other reasonable disbursements, and against all liability.

5

The Trustee is entitled to reasonable compensation from the Board. The Trustee's compensation will be paid from Pledged Revenues. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee's right to compensation from Pledged Revenues shall be entitled to a preference therefore over the claim of owners for payment of principal of and interest on Bonds from such Pledged Revenues.

SUMMARY OF THE INDENTURE

Cost of Issuance. The amount necessary to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds shall be deposited to the credit of the Cost of Issuance Fund. Use of Pledged Revenues and Flow of Funds Disposition of Pledged Revenues. The Bonds are secured by a pledge of, and are payable from, the Pledged Revenues, and by moneys in the various funds and accounts created pursuant to the Indenture. The pledge of Pledged Revenues to the Bonds is on a parity of security with respect to the pledge in favor of the Series 2010 Bonds, the Series 2011 Bonds and the Series 2013 Bonds, to the extent outstanding. The Board has pledged the Pledged Revenues to the payment of the principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Bonds. To the extent the Pledged Revenues and the Trust Estate established pursuant to the Indenture are insufficient to pay the obligations of the Board pursuant to the Indenture, the Board has covenanted to pay such obligations from such other moneys as are available to the Board under the Constitution and laws of the State. Bond Fund. The Board has established with the Trustee a special fund in the name of the Board designated “Series 2015A Bond Fund” (the “Bond Fund”). Amounts credited to the Bond Fund shall be expended solely (i) to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds; and (ii) to pay the fees and expenses of the Trustee. The Board shall, no later than three Business Days prior to March 15 and September 15 of each year, or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the immediately preceding Business Day, deposit with the Trustee for the credit of the Bond Fund an amount of Pledged Revenues, or such other moneys as are available to the Board under the Constitution and laws of the State, equal to (i) the amount necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds due on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; (ii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and Paying Agent due on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; and (iii) any amount required to be deposited into the Rebate Fund. The deposits described in the preceding sentences shall be reduced by any amounts already held in the Bond Fund at the time the deposit is made which are available for meeting the purpose for which a deposit is to be made, including amounts of accrued interest. The obligation to make payments into the Bond Fund pursuant to the Indenture, the obligation to make payments into the bond fund for the Series 2010 Bonds (the “2010 Bond Fund”) required by the trust indenture authorizing the issuance of the Series 2010 Bonds (the “2010 Indenture”), the obligation to make payments into the bond fund for the Series 2011 Bonds (the “2011 Bond Fund”) required by the trust indenture authorizing the issuance of the Series 2011 Bonds (the “2011 Indenture”), the obligation to make payments into the bond fund for the Series 2013 Bonds (the “2013 Bond Fund”) required by the trust indenture authorizing the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds (the “2013 Indenture”), and the obligation to make payments into the bond fund for any Additional Parity Bonds, shall be ranked on a parity basis. If Pledged Revenues and such other monies as are lawfully available 6 are insufficient to make the payments into the Bond Fund, the Series 2010 Bond Fund, the Series 2011 Bond Fund, the Series 2013 Bond Fund and the bond fund for any Additional Parity Bonds, the available monies shall be distributed between the Bond Fund, the Series 2010 Bond Fund, the Series 2011 Bond Fund, the Series 2013 Bond Fund and the bond fund for any Additional Parity Bonds in proportion to the required payments. Rebate Fund. The Board has established with the Trustee a special fund in the name of the Board designated the “Series 2015A Rebate Fund” (the “Rebate Fund”). The Board shall, pursuant to the Indenture, at the end of each five-Bond Year period and upon payment of all principal of the Bonds, calculate the amount of money to be rebated to the United States Treasury (the “Rebate Amount”) pursuant to §148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations established thereunder. The Board shall direct the Trustee to deposit an amount equal to the Rebate Amount into the Rebate Fund within 60 days after the end of each five-Bond Year period and upon payment of all principal of the Bonds. Such deposit may be made from any Pledged Revenues. The Rebate Fund shall be held in trust for the benefit of the United States of America, and not for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds or of the Trustee. The Board shall pay from the amounts held in the Rebate Fund to the United States Treasury the Rebate Amount at times and in amounts necessary to comply with the Code. Investments. Amounts in the Cost of Issuance Fund shall, pursuant to the direction of the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration for UA, Fayetteville (the "Vice Chancellor") be invested and reinvested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments (defined below), which mature or provide for withdrawal, in whole or in part, at the option of the owner, on or prior to the date on which the funds invested will be needed for authorized expenditures. Moneys held for the credit of the Rebate Account shall, pursuant to the direction of the Vice Chancellor, be invested and reinvested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments which shall mature, or shall be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, by the owner thereof at the option of the owner, not later than the date or dates on which payments of a Rebate Amount must be made. Moneys held for the credit of the Bond Fund shall, pursuant to the direction of the Vice Chancellor, be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments which shall mature, or shall be subject to redemption by the owner thereof, at the option of the owner, not later than the next succeeding interest payment date on the Bonds. “Permitted Investments” shall mean any of the following: (a) Cash (insured at all times by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or otherwise collateralized with obligations described in paragraph (b) below);

(e) Investments in a money market fund, including funds of the Trustee or its affiliates, rated (at the time of purchase) in the highest rating category for this type of investment by S&P or Moody’s;

(f) Pre-refunded Municipal Obligations; and

(g) General obligations of the State of Arkansas with a rating of at least “A2/A” or higher by Moody’s or S&P. Obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund or account shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such fund or account, and the interest accruing thereon and any profit realized from such investment

7 shall be credited to such fund or account, and any loss resulting from such investment shall be charged to such fund or account. Additional Bonds No additional bonds may be issued with a prior pledge of the Pledged Revenues. The Board reserves the right to issue additional bonds ranking on a parity of pledge of the Pledged Revenues (“Additional Parity Bonds”) for the purposes of accomplishing any duly authorized project of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Athletic Department or refunding outstanding bonds or notes issued for such purposes, provided the Vice Chancellor certifies that the Pledged Revenues in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year equaled or exceeded 115% of the combined maximum annual debt service on the outstanding Bonds, the outstanding Series 2010 Bonds, the outstanding Series 2011 Bonds, the outstanding Series 2013 Bonds and any other outstanding Additional Parity Bonds. Additional bonds may also be issued on a subordinate basis to the Bonds with respect to the Pledged Revenues (the “Subordinate Bonds”); provided, however, that before any such Subordinate Bonds are issued, the Board will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by the Vice Chancellor to the effect that the amount of Pledged Revenues received during the immediately preceding Fiscal Year was in an amount at least equal to 100% of the aggregate amount of (l) the amount of principal and interest due on the outstanding Bonds, the outstanding Series 2010 Bonds, Series 2011 Bonds, Series 2013 Bonds and any Additional Parity Bonds then outstanding on the next two ensuing Interest Payment Dates; and (2) maximum annual debt service on all other Subordinate Bonds during the term of the Bonds, computed with regard to all outstanding Bonds, Series 2010 Bonds, Series 2011 Bonds, Series 2013 Bonds other outstanding Additional Parity Bonds and other Subordinate Bonds as of the time immediately following the issuance of the Subordinate Bonds proposed to be issued.

Upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default, then and in such case the Trustee may, and upon written request of the registered owners of not less than twenty percent (20%) in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall, by a notice in writing to the Board, declare the principal of all of the Bonds then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and immediately payable, and upon such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. Upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default the Trustee may proceed, and upon the written request of the owners of not less than twenty percent (20%) in principal amount of the Bonds which are affected by such Event of Default shall proceed, subject to the provisions of the Indenture giving the Trustee the 8 right to indemnity (see CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE, herein), to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the registered owners of the bonds of such affected series under the applicable laws of the State of Arkansas or under the Indenture by such suits, actions or special proceedings in equity or at law, either for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in aid or execution of a power herein granted or for the enforcement of any proper legal or equitable remedy, including mandamus, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights. If at any time the moneys in the Bond Fund shall not be sufficient to pay the principal of or the interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable (either by their terms or by acceleration of maturities as provided above), such moneys then available or thereafter becoming available for such purposes after payment of the fees and expenses of the Trustee, whether through the exercise of the remedies provided above or otherwise, shall be applied as follows: (a) Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied: FIRST: To the payment of the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due, in the order of maturity of the installments of such interest, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular installment, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such installments, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; SECOND: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of any Bonds which shall have become due, in the order of their due dates, with interest on such Bonds from the respective dates upon which they became due, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full the Bonds due on any particular date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; and THIRD: To the payment of the interest on and the principal of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. (b) If the principal of all Bonds shall have been declared due and payable and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled, then, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) in the event that the principal shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys then remaining in and thereafter accruing to the Bond Fund shall be applied in accordance with the provision of paragraph (a). Whenever moneys are to be applied by the Trustee, such moneys shall be applied by it at such times, and from time to time, as it shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UA, Fayetteville Set forth in Appendix B to this Official Statement are the financial statements of UA, Fayetteville for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, which financial statements have been audited by the Division of Legislative Audit of the State of Arkansas, as indicated in its report dated November 4, 2014, which report is also included in Appendix B. The notes set forth in Appendix B are an integral part of the financial statements, and the statements and notes should be read in their entirety. The financial report of UA, Fayetteville includes three primary financial statements: the Statement of Net Position, the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position and the Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements of three component units are presented discretely from the University. The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to understanding the primary financial statements. Other required supplementary information provides additional information related to other post- employment benefits. The financial statements of UA, Fayetteville are presented in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements-and Management’s Discussion and Analysis-for Public Colleges and Universities. The statement establishes standards for financial reporting of public colleges and universities and requires that financial statements be presented on an entity-wide basis to focus on the University as a whole. Statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, which is consistent with the accounting method used by private-sector entities. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are recognized when earned or incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. The University has identified three foundations as component units subject to inclusion in the financial report: the University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc., the Razorback Foundation, Inc., and the Arkansas 4-H Foundation, Inc. As component units, their financial information is included in the UA, Fayetteville financial report in accordance with GASB Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units. This statement provides criteria for determining which related organizations should be reported as component units based on the nature and significance of their relationship to the primary government, which is the University.

Reference is made to The Management Discussion and Analysis which is included in full in Appendix B. 18

The notes set forth in Appendix C are an integral part of the consolidated financial report, and the report’s financial statements and notes should be read in their entirety. Audited financial statements of the University of Arkansas System for prior fiscal years may be obtained at the University of Arkansas System’s website (currently http://www.uasys.edu/system-administration/finance-and-administration/financial- statements/) or at the Arkansas Division of Legislative Audit’s website (currently http://www.legaudit.state.ar.us/ using the search term “University of Arkansas”).

TAX MATTERS In the opinion of Friday, Eldredge & Clark, LLP, bond counsel, under existing law, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, it should be noted that with respect to corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. The opinion of bond counsel is subject to the condition that the Board comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes. These requirements generally relate to arbitrage, the use of proceeds of the Bonds and the capital improvements refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds. The Board has covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income for federal tax purposes to be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The proposed opinion of bond counsel is attached as Appendix A hereto. Bond counsel expresses no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. Purchasers of the Bonds, particularly purchasers that are corporations (including S corporations and foreign corporations operating branches in the United States); property and casualty insurance companies; banks, thrifts or other financial institutions; certain recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits; taxpayers otherwise entitled to claim the earned income tax credit; and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations, should consult their tax advisors concerning their tax consequences of purchasing and holding the Bonds. Current or future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, may cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or otherwise prevent holders of the Bonds from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. Recent legislative proposals include provisions that would limit the amount of exclusions (including tax-exempt interest) and deductions available to certain high income taxpayers. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether, if enacted, it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion. It is not an event of default on the Bonds if legislation is enacted reducing or eliminating the exclusion of interest on state and local government bonds from gross income for federal or state income tax purposes. As shown on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, certain of the Bonds are being sold at a premium (collectively, the "Premium Bonds"). An amount equal to the excess of the issue price of a Premium Bond over its stated redemption price at maturity constitutes premium on such Premium Bond. An initial purchaser of a Premium Bond must amortize any premium over such Premium Bond’s term using constant yield principles, based on the purchaser’s yield to maturity (or, in the case of Premium Bonds callable prior to their maturity, by amortizing the premium to the call date, based on the purchaser’s yield to the call date and giving effect to the call premium). As premium is amortized, the amount of the amortization offsets a corresponding amount of interest for the period and the purchaser’s basis in such Premium Bond is reduced by a corresponding amount resulting in an increase in the gain (or decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a sale or disposition of such Premium Bond prior to its maturity. Even though the purchaser’s basis may be reduced, no federal income tax deduction is allowed. Purchasers of the Premium Bonds should consult with their tax advisors with respect to the determination and treatment of amortizable premium for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning a Premium Bond. As shown on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, certain of the Bonds are being sold at an original issue discount (collectively, the "Discount Bonds"). The difference between the initial public offering prices, as set forth 19 inside the front cover page, of such Discount Bonds and their stated amounts to be paid at maturity constitutes original issue discount treated as interest which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, as described above. The amount of original issue discount which is treated as having accrued with respect to such Discount Bond is added to the cost basis of the owner in determining, for federal income tax purposes, gain or loss upon disposition of such Discount Bond (including its sale, redemption, or payment at maturity). Amounts received upon disposition of such Discount Bond which are attributable to accrued original issue discount will be treated as tax-exempt interest, rather than as taxable gain, for federal income tax purposes. Original issue discount is treated as compounding semiannually, at a rate determined by reference to the yield to maturity of each individual Discount Bond, on days which are determined by reference to the maturity date of such Discount Bond. The amount treated as original issue discount on such Discount Bond for a particular semiannual accrual period is equal to the product of (i) the yield of maturity for such Discount Bond (determined by compounding at the close of each accrual period) and (ii) the amount which would have been the tax basis of such Discount Bond at the beginning of the particular accrual period if held by the original purchaser, less the amount of any interest payable for such Discount Bond during the accrual period. The tax basis is determined by adding to the initial public offering price on such Discount Bond the sum of the amounts which have been treated as original issue discount for such purposes during all prior periods. If such Discount Bond is sold between semiannual compounding dates, original issue discount which would have been accrued for that semiannual compounding period for federal income tax purposes is to be apportioned in equal amounts among the days in such compounding period. Owners of the Discount Bonds should consult their tax advisors with respect to the determination and treatment of original issue discount accrued as of any date and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning a Discount Bond. State Law Further, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing laws, the Bonds and interest thereon are exempt from all Arkansas state, county and municipal taxation.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE

The Board has entered into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement with the Trustee (the “Disclosure Agreement”) pursuant to which the Board has agreed that the Board will provide, annually and as otherwise required, information specified in Rule 15c2-12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such information may be posted on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's internet website, www.emma.msrb.org, and may be obtained using the muni search function and entering the term "Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas Financial Information." For a summary of certain provisions of the Disclosure Agreement, see Appendix D attached hereto. The Board is a party to multiple continuing disclosure agreements for its various bond issues that benefit its campuses. While the Board has not made any determinations as to materiality, the following paragraphs, while not exhaustive, summarize the results of the Board's review of compliance with prior continuing disclosure obligations over the past five years. Certain of the annual financial information that was required to be filed by the Board pursuant to applicable continuing disclosure agreements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 either did not contain all of the information required by the applicable continuing disclosure agreements or was not filed. Also, filings made prior to the year ended June 30, 2012 for one campus did not contain separate audited financial statements of such campus and did not contain required supplemental financial information as required by the applicable continuing disclosure agreements. However, supplemental filings have been made containing the remainder of the required information. In addition, in the case of four campuses, the Board made a timely filing of financial information and financial statements with the trustees, but the financial information and financial statements were not uploaded by the trustees to the EMMA system. This has been cured. Also, in the case of one campus, since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, annual report filings were made later than the date that such annual reports were due (ranging from 20 days late to 33 days late). Further, in the past the Board did not file notices of certain listed events, including notices of ratings recalibrations (a rating recalibration from Moody's Aa3 to Aa2). The Board is undertaking steps to ensure future compliance with its continuing disclosure undertakings. 20

ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES

Rights of the registered owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the remedies available under the Indenture may depend on judicial action and may be subject to the valid exercise of the constitutional powers of the United States of America and of the sovereign police powers of the State or other governmental units having jurisdiction, and to the application of federal bankruptcy laws or other debtor relief or moratorium laws in general. Therefore, enforcement of those remedies may be delayed or limited, or the remedies may be modified or unavailable, subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity. Bond counsel expresses no opinion as to any effect upon any right, title, interest or relationship created by or arising under the Indenture resulting from the application of state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar debtor relief laws affecting creditors' rights which are presently or may from time to time be in effect.

FINANCIAL ADVISOR

Public Financial Management, Inc. (“PFM”) is employed by the Board to perform professional services in the capacity of financial advisor. In its role as financial advisor to the Board, PFM has provided advice on the plan of financing and structure of the Bonds, and reviewed certain legal and disclosure documents, including this Official Statement, for financial matters. PFM has not independently verified the factual information contained in this Official Statement, but relied on the information supplied by the Board and other sources and the Board’s certification as to the Official Statement.

LEGAL MATTERS

Legal matters incident to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approving opinion of Friday, Eldredge & Clark, LLP, Little Rock, Arkansas, bond counsel. The proposed opinion of bond counsel is attached as Appendix A hereto. Copies of such opinion will be available at the time of the delivery of the Bonds. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriter by Kutak Rock LLP, Little Rock, Arkansas, counsel to the underwriter. There is no controversy or litigation of any nature now pending or threatened restraining or enjoining the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Bonds, any proceedings of the Board taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof, the pledge or application of the Pledged Revenues or other moneys that may be provided for the payment of the Bonds, the existence or powers of the Board or the title of any officers of the Board to their respective positions, or the ability of the Board to make payment on the Bonds. Factors Affecting the Board’s Funding The State portion of the Board’s budget is subject to appropriation by the General Assembly of the State every year, and the Board has no control over the amounts so appropriated. There can be no assurance that the levels of future appropriations to the Board will not impair its ability to make payments on the Bonds.

UNDERWRITING

Under a Bond Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by and between the Board and the underwriters listed on the cover page (collectively, the “Underwriters”), the Bonds are being purchased at a purchase price of $______(being the principal amount thereof, less underwriters’ discount of $______). The Agreement provides that the Underwriters will purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased. The obligation of the Underwriters to accept delivery of the Bonds is subject to various conditions contained in the Agreement, including the absence of pending or threatened litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds or any proceedings in connection with the issuance thereof and the absence of material adverse changes in the financial or operating condition of the Board. The Underwriters intend to offer the Bonds to the public initially at the offering prices set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, which prices may subsequently change without any requirement of prior notice. The Underwriters reserve the right to join with dealers and other underwriters in offering the Bonds to the public. The Underwriters may offer and sell Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the public offering price. In connection with this offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Bonds at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such stabilizing, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. 21

DESCRIPTION OF RATING

Moody's Investors Service Inc. has assigned the municipal bond rating of “Aa2” (stable outlook) to the Bonds. The rating reflects only the view of the rating agency. Any explanation as to the significance of the above rating may be obtained only from the rating agency furnishing the same.

The Board has furnished to the above rating agency certain information and materials, some of which have not been included in this Official Statement. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on such information and materials and investigations, studies and assumptions furnished to and obtained and made by the rating agencies. There is no assurance that a rating will remain for any given period of time or that it may not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Neither the Board nor the Underwriters have undertaken any responsibility to bring to the attention of the holders of the Bonds any proposed revision or withdrawal of a rating or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. Any downward change in or withdrawal of a rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.

APPENDIX A

Opinion of Bond Counsel

Friday Eldredge & Clark, LLP, Bond Counsel, expects to render an opinion with respect to the Bonds, dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, in substantially the following form:

______, 2015

Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas Little Rock, Arkansas

Regions Bank, as Trustee Little Rock, Arkansas

Re: $______Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas Athletic Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds (Fayetteville Campus), Series 2015A

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance by the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas (the "Issuer") of its $______Athletic Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds (Fayetteville Campus), Series 2015A, dated ______, 2015 (the "Bonds"), pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. §§ 6-62-301, et seq. (the "Act") and a Trust Indenture dated as of ______, 2015 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Regions Bank, as trustee thereunder (the "Trustee").

The Bonds are secured by a pledge of, and payable primarily from, Pledged Revenues as described in the Indenture. The pledge of Pledged Revenues in favor of the Bonds is on a parity with the pledge of Pledged Revenues in favor of the Board's Athletic Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds (Fayetteville Campus), Series 2010 (the "Series 2010 Bonds"), the Board's Athletic Facilities Revenue Bonds (Fayetteville Campus), Series 2011 (the "Series 2011 Bonds") and the Board's Athletic Facilities Revenue Bonds (Fayetteville Campus), Series 2013A (the "Series 2013 Bonds"), in each case to the extent outstanding. The Bonds are general obligations only of the Issuer and do not constitute an indebtedness for which the full faith and credit of the State of Arkansas (the "State") or any of its revenues are pledged and the Bonds are not secured by a mortgage or lien on any land or building belonging to the State or the Issuer.

We have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other papers as we deem necessary to render this opinion. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the representations of the Issuer contained in the Indenture and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, as follows:

1. The Issuer is duly created and validly existing as a body politic and corporate and is a state- supported educational institution under and by virtue of the laws of the State with the corporate power to enter into the Indenture and perform the agreements on its part contained therein and to issue the Bonds.

A-1

2. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and, assuming the authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable upon the Issuer.

3. Pursuant to the Act, the Indenture creates a valid lien on the funds pledged by the Indenture for the security of the Bonds on a parity with the lien in favor of the Series 2010 Bonds, the Series 2011 Bonds and the Series 2013 Bonds, in each case to the extent outstanding.

4. The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer, and are valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, payable from the sources provided therefor in the Indenture.

5. The interest on the Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable thereto) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; it should be noted, however, that, with respect to corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings in computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. The opinions set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the Issuer comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements could cause the interest on the Bonds to be so included in gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds.

6. The Bonds and interest thereon are exempt from all present Arkansas state, county and municipal taxes.

7. The Bonds are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Indenture is exempt from qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

It is to be understood that the rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds and the Indenture may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable and that their enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

Yours very truly,

FRIDAY, ELDREDGE & CLARK, LLP

! B-12 " B-13 # B-14 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis provides an overview of the financial position of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (the University) for the year ended June 30, 2014, with fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 data presented for comparative purposes. The emphasis of the discussion concerning the financial statements will be for the current year. The University’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements and discussion and analysis are the responsibility of, and have been prepared by management. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes. All references to “2014”, “2013” or another year refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, unless otherwise noted.

The University is the largest and oldest state institution of higher education in Arkansas. Established in 1871 under the provisions of the Morrill Act, it is the state’s first land-grant institution and the flagship of the University of Arkansas System. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching places the university among only 2 percent of universities in America that have the highest level of research. As the state’s only comprehensive research university, together with the distinction of a very high level of research, the University is positioned to be a partner, resource and catalyst for advancing higher learning and stimulating economic opportunity for Arkansas, our nation and our many public and private sector partners.

All programs and activities of the University are governed by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees, which has delegated to the System President the administrative authority for all aspects of operations. The System President has further delegated administrative authority to the Chancellor and Vice President for Agriculture, who have responsibility for the programs and activities of the colleges, schools and divisions presented in this financial report.

Overview of the Financial Report and Financial Analysis

The University’s financial report includes three basic financial statements: the Statement of Net Position, which presents the assets, liabilities and net position of the university, and when applicable, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources as of the fiscal year end; the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position, which reflects revenues and expenses recognized during the fiscal year; and the Statement of Cash Flows, which provides information on the major sources and uses of cash during the fiscal year. These financial statements and related note disclosures are prepared in accordance with standards issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and present a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective. Financial statements are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues and assets are recognized when services are provided and expenses and liabilities are recognized when others provide the services, regardless of when cash is exchanged. The report also includes other required supplementary information for other post-employment benefits.

Effective for the year ended June 30, 2013, the University adopted GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net

$ B-15 Position, and effective for the year ended June 30, 2014, the University adopted GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. These standards introduce and define deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources as elements of the annual financial report and incorporate these elements into the computation of the University’s net position (previously referred to as net assets). These elements represent consumption (deferred outflow) or acquisition (deferred inflow) of resources by the University that are applicable to a future reporting period, but do not require any further exchange of goods or services. For 2013, the University did not have any items to report as deferred outflows or deferred inflows of resources, thus the effect of the adoption of Statement 63 was to report net position rather than net assets. The adoption of Statement 65 in 2014 did result in the university reporting deferred outflows of resources. As prescribed by the statement, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.

The University has identified three legally separate foundations: the University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc., the Razorback Foundation, Inc., and the Arkansas 4-H Foundation, Inc. (Foundations) that meet the criteria set forth for component units under GASB Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units. These Foundations provide financial support for the objectives, purposes and programs of the university. Although the university does not control the timing, purpose or amount received by these Foundations; the resources (and income thereon) they hold and invest are dedicated to benefit the University. Because these resources held by the Foundations can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, they are considered component units and are discretely presented in the financial report. Additional information about component units is provided at Notes to the Financial Statements (Note) No. 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, under the “Component Units” heading.

Note 17, “Other Entities” refers to the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc., (the Foundation). The University is the beneficiary of only 52.1% of the net assets of the Foundation; therefore the Foundation does not meet the requirements of a component unit.

Statement of Net Position

The Statement of Net Position provides a fiscal snapshot of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. All assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources and net position are reported. Assets and liabilities are presented in the order of their relative liquidity, and are identified as current or noncurrent. Current assets are those assets that can be realized in the coming year, and current liabilities are expected to be paid within the next year. Noncurrent assets and liabilities are not expected to be realized as cash or paid in the subsequent year. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources are recognized through the consumption or acquisition of resources by the University that is applicable to a future reporting period. Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally measured using current values. One exception is capital assets, which are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.

% B-16 Net Position is presented in four categories: Net invested 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 it be maintained permanently by the University.

Restricted 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 that is not subject to externally-imposed stipulations, but can be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for any purpose if not limited by contractual agreements with outside parties.

The following summarizes the University’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and net position as of June 30, 2014, and 2013:

Assets 2014 2013 Current Assets $ 344,180,136 $ 328,820,080 Capital Assets, Net of Depreciation 1,135,648,519 1,072,790,009 Other Noncurrent Assets 169,442,303 204,654,754 Total Assets $ 1,649,270,958 $ 1,606,264,843

Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred Amount on Refunding $ 5,605,180 $ 6,200,312

Liabilities Current Liabilities $ 107,410,960 $ 119,998,896 Noncurrent Liabilities 727,154,380 721,965,755 Total Liabilities $ 834,565,340 $ 841,964,651

Net Position Net Invested in Capital Assets $ 506,674,608 $ 477,365,165 Restricted – Nonexpendable 23,606,266 23,742,448 Restricted – Expendable 76,777,319 77,565,067 Unrestricted 213,252,605 191,827,824 Total Net Position $ 820,310,798 $ 770,500,504

Overall, the University’s total assets increased $43 million. A review of the statement of net position reveals that there were several offsetting variances, but the increase was largely attributable to increases in cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million, and capital assets of $62.9 million offset by reductions in deposits with trustees of $47.9 million.

& B-17 The University continues to strengthen its liquidity position, with 62% of current assets comprised of cash and cash equivalents. For several years, the University’s year-over-year cash balances have shown a steady increase. The rate and risk environment in the financial markets has not provided a significant premium over cash returns and cannot match the liquidity and low-risk benefits of cash and cash equivalents. Thus, the University has been intentional in maintaining a strong cash position to provide needed flexibility in deploying resources during a multi-year period of unprecedented growth in enrollment coupled with an aggressive reinvestment in campus facilities.

Deposits with bond trustees represent unspent bond proceeds and bond reserve funds. The decrease in 2014 is the net result of new bond proceeds totaling $29.8 million being added in 2014 and continued spending of 2013 and earlier bond proceeds for ongoing construction projects.

The increase in Capital Assets, net of depreciation, is primarily a reflection of the University acquiring capital assets at a rate greater than these assets are disposed of or depreciated. The section “Significant Changes in Capital Assets and Long Term Debt Activity” below and Note 13 “Property, Plant and Equipment” provide additional information about capital assets.

Deferred outflows of resources consist of deferred amounts on refinancing of debt. Adoption of Statement 65 required that these deferred amounts be reported as a deferred outflow of resources. Prior to adoption of Statement 65, these amounts were included with the long-term debt liability.

Overall, liabilities decreased $7.4 million. The overall decrease was largely attributable to a $12.2 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by a $2.5 million net increase in bonds, notes, capital leases and installment contracts (long-term debt). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased in 2014 because several construction projects that were underway at the end of 2013 were completed in 2014, resulting in fewer trade account payables and contract retainage accruals.

The University continued its investment in facilities renewal and replacement along with the addition of new facilities and improvements in 2014. Using bonds to finance a portion of the costs also continued as evidenced by the issuance of $24.7 million Various Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2014A and $5 million Various Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2014B. The two issues totaled $29.7 million and also realized a net unamortized premium of $2.3 million, which when netted against scheduled retirements of $29.5 million resulted in a net increase in long term debt of $2.5 million. Additional information about University debt, and the projects financed with debt proceeds, is provided in the “Significant Changes in Capital Assets and Long Term Debt Activity” discussion below and at Note 9 “Compensated Absences, Bonds, Notes, Capital Leases Payable, and Installment Contracts”.

The increase in assets of $43 million, combined with the decrease in deferred outflows of resources of $.6 million and a decrease in liabilities of $7.4 million resulted in an increase of $49.8 million in net position.

' B-18 The following summarizes the composition of unrestricted net position owned by the units of the University of Arkansas Fund as of June 30, 2014 and 2013:

2014 2013 Fayetteville Campus $ 142,786,608 $ 127,984,749 Agricultural Experiment Station 42,495,318 43,198,540 Cooperative Extension Service 19,360,536 12,631,932 Arkansas Archeological Survey 542,413 339,026 Criminal Justice Institute 3,133,939 2,974,092 Clinton School of Public Service 1,271,004 1,603,837 AREON 3,662,787 3,095,648 Total Unrestricted Net Position $ 213,252,605 $ 191,827,824

Unrestricted net position for the Fayetteville Campus as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 is allocated as follows:

2014 2013 Working Capital $ 750,000 $ 750,000 E & G Department Uses 77,900,431 70,001,246 Service Operations 2,126,727 25,423 Auxiliaries 24,187,624 22,423,288 Plant Funds 24,376,617 22,633,140 Quasi-Endowment Funds 13,445,209 12,151,652 Total Fayetteville Campus Unrestricted Net Position $ 142,786,608 $ 127,984,749

Although unrestricted net position is not subject to externally-imposed restrictions, the majority of the University’s unrestricted net position is subject to internal designations to meet various specific commitments. These commitments include reserves established for capital projects, scholarships, and other academic or research priorities; working capital for self-supporting auxiliary enterprises; reserves for the continued recognition of the OPEB obligation; reserves for student information system technologies and unrestricted quasi endowments.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position present the University’s results of activities for the year. The statement presents the revenues earned by the University, both operating and non-operating, and the expenses incurred by the University, both operating and non-operating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses, and changes in net position. In accordance with GASB standards, significant recurring sources of University revenue such as state appropriations, gifts, investment income and certain grants and contracts are reported as non- operating revenues. As a result, the operating loss of $295.9 million is of little significance, but

( B-19 does highlight the University’s dependency on non-operating revenues to meet the costs of operations and provide funds for the acquisition of capital assets.

The following summarizes the University’s revenues, expenses and changes in net position for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

2014 2013 Operating Revenues $ 417,955,513 $ 401,062,085 Operating Expenses 713,833,706 685,449,295 Operating loss (295,878,193) (284,387,210) Net nonoperating revenues 319,832,100 320,237,559 Gain before other revenues and changes in net position 23,953,907 35,850,349 Other revenues and changes in net position 25,856,387 26,707,306 Increase in Net Position $ 49,810,294 $ 62,557,655

Operating revenue increased 4.2% or $16.9 million in 2014. Net Student tuition and fees increased $16.5 million, a reflection of continued record enrollment growth and a 3.5% rate increase for the Fayetteville campus. Auxiliary enterprises revenue attributable to Athletics decreased nearly $5 million, largely due to one less home football game that resulted in lower ticket sales revenue. All other auxiliary enterprises realized a net increase totaling $2.5 million collectively, demonstrating the impact of enrollment growth. Grants and contracts collectively increased $2.9 million, primarily as a result of timing of certain awards and other cyclical changes.

Operating expenses increased $28.3 million or 4.1% over 2013. Compensation and benefits costs grew $16.8 million, due in part to necessary increases in faculty to support enrollment growth, along with modest increases in salaries for faculty and staff. The University continues to focus on cost containment initiatives to control expenses.

Overall, net nonoperating revenues remained virtually flat. The University saw an increase in state support in 2014, with a $5.2 million increase in state appropriations and other state funds. Investment income increased $6.3 million due to market performance and increased cash balances. These increases were offset by reductions in gift revenue of $2.6 million, state grants (nonexchange) of $4 million and increased interest on capital asset-related debt of $4.9 million.

Gifts reported on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position only reflect a portion of the gifts available to the University. Most gifts for the benefit of the University are made to the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. whose financial information is presented in summary form at Note 17 “Other Entities”.

Other Revenues and Changes in Net Position reflect changes in capital appropriations and capital gifts. Capital appropriations increased $5.3 million, largely due to an increase in State General Improvement Funds. Capital grants and gifts decreased $7.4 million due to the award of a BTOP capital grant in 2013.

! B-20 Statement of Cash Flows

The Statement of Cash Flows provides information about the cash receipts and disbursements of the University for the year. The statement aids in the assessment of the University’s ability to meet obligations as they become due, the need for external financing, and the ability to generate future cash flow. It is prepared using the “direct method” as required by GASB principles. The direct method reports all major gross cash inflows and outflows, differentiating these activities into operating activities, noncapital financing, such as state appropriations and nonexchange grants; capital and related financing, including bond proceeds from debt issued to construct or purchase capital assets; and investing activities.

The following summarizes the University’s cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

2014 2013 Net cash used by operating activities $ (220,243,075) $ (218,342,080) Net cash provided by noncapital financing activities 324,100,302 330,306,533 Net cash provided by operating and noncapital financing activities 103,857,227 111,964,453 Net cash used by capital and related financing activities (85,709,879) (69,801,648)

Net cash provided by investing activities 5,378,806 5,663,654 Net increase in cash $ 23,526,154 $ 47,826,459

The University used $220.2 million of cash for operating activities in 2014 offset by cash provided by noncapital financing activities of $324.1 million. Similar to the operating loss on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, net cash provided by operating activities is of little significance to the University. The net cash provided by the combination of operating activities and noncapital financing activities is a much more meaningful number for the University. The positive amount of almost $103.8 million for 2014 indicates that these activities contributed to cash and liquidity for the year.

Cash used by capital financing activities reflects the University’s continued use of bonded debt to finance the acquisition of capital assets. Net cash provided by investing activities illustrates the positioning of the cash component of matured investments to other university accounts.

Significant Changes in Capital Assets and Long-Term Debt Activity

The University continued work on the multi-year Facilities Renewal and Stewardship Plan. This large-scale, long-range plan is intended to upgrade and add facilities in order to expand capacity and modernize the campus. A dedicated facilities fee, phased in over the time period 2009 to 2013, provides a revenue stream that is used to leverage bonded debt in order to fund a portion of this

! B-21 aggressive plan. The condition of the University’s capital assets is an important measure of the University’s overall financial health. Providing and maintaining facilities that create an attractive environment in which to learn and live is vital to attracting new students, as well as recruiting excellent faculty and staff. The University maintains a Facility Condition Index (FCI) to assist in assessment of the overall management of capital assets. The index trend is positive, demonstrating the positive effect of additions, renovations and the elimination of deferred maintenance to campus infrastructure and educational and general buildings as the Facilities Renewal and Stewardship Plan is implemented.

The pace of construction in 2014 was down slightly from 2013 with several projects begun in previous years completed; continued progress on ongoing projects; and new projects initiated.

The list of projects begun in previous years that were completed in 2014 is impressive. A total of seven projects, five of which were major projects brought online in time for occupancy for the fall 2013 semester, were completed in 2014. They include:

Conditions and other factors having a significant effect

Financial and political support from state government remains a critical element to the continued financial health of the University. In 2014, the total general revenue distribution from the State increased $3.2 million to slightly over $200 million, which marked the first substantial increase in state funding since the 2008 economic recession. Estimates for 2015 indicate another $1.5 million increase is expected, bringing the estimated total general revenue distribution from the State to $201.8 million. While these increases in state support are very helpful, the amounts are still well below needs-based formula calculations. Management will continue to institute both internal and external efforts to maximize the state resources available, while seeking ways to minimize the effect of state funding levels not keeping pace with growth.

The University continues to seek ways to manage the cost of attendance so that it remains affordable while achieving revenue support necessary to offer a high quality university experience. Tuition and mandatory fee increases totaling 3.5% were necessary in 2014 in order to maintain the facilities, faculty and other support needed to fulfill our mission. As record growth in enrollment continues, together with state funding levels not able to keep pace with formula calculations, it is expected that the University must continue to look to increases in tuition rates for revenue support as well as grow private giving support, as discussed below.

Enrollment records continue to be broken, with preliminary figures for fall 2014 enrollment of 26,237. This marks the first time the flagship campus has exceeded 26,000 students. The preliminary numbers show an increase of 896 students. Total undergraduate enrollment is up 3.9% to 21,836 students, graduate enrollment increased 2% to 4,022 students, while enrollment at the School of Law decreased 11 students, or 2.8%, to 379 students. Since 2008, university enrollment

!% B-26 has increased 37%, or more than 7,100 students. This growth trend led the Chronicle of Higher Education to rank the University as the 7th fastest growing public research university in the country. Not only has the university grown in number of students enrolled, but has also experienced a steady improvement in both academic quality and diversity. With an intentional effort to recruit students who will succeed, it is expected that continued growth through retention will be experienced for the next several years. While it is encouraging to see record enrollment, further increases in undergraduate enrollment must occur to ensure continued increases in the revenue generated by tuition and to ensure continued support from state government.

The University continues to build momentum for its next comprehensive fundraising campaign. Positive news continues with the University fundraising production totals for private gift support exceeding $100 million for four consecutive years. Production amounts include gifts of cash, gifts- in-kind, planned gifts and new pledges. In 2014, the University recognized $113.3 million of private gift support, surpassing its goal of $108 million. This support is critical to ensure success for students and faculty, and is a fundamental component in meeting budgetary needs. Support received from alumni, friends, organizations and faculty and staff of the University enhances all aspects of the student experience, including academic and need-based scholarships; technology enhancements; new and renovated facilities; undergraduate, graduate and faculty research; study abroad opportunities and innovative programs.

#$ B-45 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

(1). Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (“the University”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America, as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Basis of Presentation and Measurement Focus For financial reporting purposes, the University is considered a special-purpose government engaged in business-type activities. Accordingly, the financial statements of the University have been prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable. Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, if measurable, including depreciation.

Net Position The University’s net position is classified as follows:

 Net invested 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 – portion subject to externally-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the University. Such assets include the University’s permanent endowment funds.

Expendable – portion 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. There is no formal policy requiring restricted net position to be used either before or after unrestricted net position that may be used for the same purpose. Responsible officials determine at the time funds are expended to use any unrestricted net position that may be available.

 Unrestricted: – portion that 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 or may otherwise be limited by contractual agreements with outside parties. Substantially all unrestricted net position is designated for academic and research programs and initiatives as well as capital programs.

#% B-46 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Component Units In May 2002, GASB issued Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units, which amends GASB Statement No. 14 to provide additional guidance to determine whether certain organizations for which the primary government is not financially accountable should be reported as component units based on the nature and significance of their relationship with a primary government. Under the statement, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, the financial activities of qualifying foundations are to be included in the financial statements of the primary government, through discrete presentations. There were three qualifying foundations for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville: the University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc., the Razorback Foundation, Inc., and the Arkansas 4-H Foundation, Inc.

The University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc. (“the Foundation”) is a charitable organization described in Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and was established by the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation, Inc., for the exclusive benefit of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville campus. The Foundation was established on March 11, 2003, and exists primarily to support the Honors College, the Graduate School and the University’s library. The Board of Trustees of the Foundation is made up of seven (7) members, including three (3) members who are also employees of the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Foundation, the majority of resources or income thereon that the Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University’s financial statements.

The Foundation distributed $14,840,502 and $15,863,204 to the University during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively, for both restricted and unrestricted purposes. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the administrative office at 700 Research Center Boulevard, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

The Razorback Foundation, Inc. (“the Razorback Foundation”) was incorporated on October 17, 1980. It is a non-for-profit organization whose sole purpose is to support intercollegiate athletics at the University. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from the Razorback Foundation, the majority of resources, or income thereon that the Razorback Foundation holds and invests are restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the Razorback Foundation can only be used by, or for the benefit of, the University, the Razorback Foundation is considered a component unit of the University and is discretely presented in the University’s financial statements.

The Razorback Foundation distributed $14,922,435 to the University, and provided equipment, facilities, improvements and supplies in the amount of $422,032 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Razorback Foundation distributed $28,655,372 to the University, and provided equipment, facilities, improvements and supplies in the amount of $386,786. Complete financial statements for the Razorback Foundation can be obtained from the administrative office at 1295 S. Razorback Road, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

The 4-H Foundation was formed to encourage and support such educational purposes, as in the judgment of the 4-H Foundation, will best meet the needs and advance the interests of 4- H youth programs throughout the State of Arkansas. The 4-H Foundation is organized into approximately 116 distinct funds that are used to account for various educational or administrative activities.

The majority of the distributions made by the 4-H Foundation directly to the University during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were for reimbursement to the University for expenses incurred on their behalf. Other distributions made by 4-H Foundation directly to the University during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 included transfers of program balances of $7,971 and $149,550 respectively. Distributions made by the 4-H Foundation directly to the University for program support equaled $76,106 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, and $3,489 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Complete financial statements for the 4-H Foundation can be obtained from the administrative office at 2301 S. University Avenue, P.O. Box 391, Little Rock, AR 72203.

New Accounting Pronouncements The GASB issued Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The Statement provides guidance to (1) properly classify certain assets and liabilities as deferred outflows or deferred inflows of resources or (2) recognize certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities as outflows of resources (expenses or expenditures) or inflows of resources (revenues). In accordance with Statement 65, the University reported the cumulative effect of debt refundings, totaling $5,605,180, as Deferred Outflows of Resources on the Statement of Net Position. Transactions for scholarship funding and awards used for a future term totaling $107,392 were identified as Deferred Inflows of Resources (funding) and Deferred Outflows of Resources (awards). Because the Deferred Inflows and Deferred Outflows were for the same type of transaction (scholarships) and were the same amount, they were netted against one another for reporting purposes and are not reported on the face of the Statement of Net Position. Additionally, gift revenue reported on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position recognized the change in Deferred Inflows of Resources for scholarship funding for scholarships awarded for a future period.

The GASB also issued three other statements which become effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014: Statement No. 66, Technical Corrections—2012—an amendment of GASB Statements No. 10 and No. 62, which resolves conflicting guidance contained in previously issued GASB pronouncements; Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans—an amendment of GASB Statement No. 25, that addresses financial reporting by state and local governmental pension plans; and Statement No. 70, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees, that specifies reporting requirements for governments that either extend or receive nonexchange financial guarantees. Management has determined that Statements 66 and 67 have no effect on current reporting or disclosures. Management has also determined that the University was not a party to any nonexchange financial guarantees and the requirements of Statement 70 are not applicable.

The GASB issued the following three statements which become effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015: Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions—an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, Statement No. 71, Pension Transition For Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, and Statement No. 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations. Management has not determined the effects of the implementation of these statements on the University’s financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The University considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Funds held in the custody of the Treasurer of the State of Arkansas and other state agencies are considered cash equivalents.

Inventories Inventories are valued at cost with costs being determined using several generally accepted inventory valuation methods depending on the best practices of the University department to which the inventory belongs.

The following summarized the cost of inventories with the method of valuation:

Annual Appropriated Budgets Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the state general fund. The annual period commences on July 1 of each year following the adjournment of the regular sessions of the General Assembly, and ends on June 30 the year after. An appropriation is construed to be available for the one year period following the legislative session in which it was approved. All appropriations lapse at the end of the year unless otherwise provided.

Capital Assets Capital assets consisting of land, buildings, furniture, fixtures, equipment, improvements, infrastructure, construction in progress, and intangible assets are stated at cost or fair market value at date of gift.

Buildings, improvements, and infrastructure additions are capitalized when the cost is $50,000 or more. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure and land improvements are also capitalized when they significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure and the cost exceeds $50,000.

In accordance with the University’s capitalization policy, equipment includes all furniture, fixtures and equipment with a unit cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life of one year or more.

Intangible assets are capitalized when the cost is $500,000 or more for purchased software, $1,000,000 or more for internally developed software, or $250,000 or more for easements, land use rights, trademarks and copyrights, and patents.

$ B-50 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Library holdings are generally defined as collections of books and reference materials, and are valued using average prices for library acquisitions. A library book is a literary composition bound into a separate volume and identifiable as a separate copyrighted unit. Library reference materials are information sources other than books which include journals, periodicals, microforms, audio/visual media, computer-based information, manuscripts, maps, documents, and similar items.

Livestock is under the control of the Department of Animal Sciences and is maintained primarily for research purposes with any other benefits derived from the operations considered as incidental to the primary mission of the Department. The inventory value placed on the animals is determined by department heads utilizing current market prices and breeding and research intangibles.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 30 years for buildings, 15 to 20 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 3 to 10 years for equipment and 10 years for library holdings. Amortization of intangible assets, except for those determined to have indefinite useful lives, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 years for purchased software; 10 years for internally developed software; 15 years for easements, land use rights, trademarks, and copyrights; and 20 years for patents.

Capitalization of Interest The University capitalizes interest involving qualifying assets, if material. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized is interest cost on borrowings netted against any interest earned on temporary investments of the proceeds of those borrowings from the date of borrowing until the specified qualifying assets acquired with those borrowings are ready for their intended use. The total amount of interest cost incurred and the net amount thereof that has been capitalized was $29,790,749 and $4,663,932, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or nonoperating revenues according to the following criteria:

 Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of scholarship discounts and allowances, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of scholarship discounts and allowances, and (3) most federal, state and local grants and contracts.

 Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of nonexchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB Statement No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, such as state appropriations and investment income.

$ B-51 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Scholarship Discounts and Allowances Scholarship discounts and 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 and nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating 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 discount and allowance.

(2). Reporting Entity

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (“the University”) was established at Fayetteville in 1871 under the provisions of the Morrill Act as both a state university and the land-grant college of Arkansas. The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville includes the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Cooperative Extension Service, the Arkansas Archeological Survey, the Criminal Justice Institute, the Clinton School of Public Service and the Arkansas Research Education Optical Network, as well as the academic units. The academic units in Fayetteville include ten colleges, schools and divisions: the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences, the Fay Jones School of Architecture, the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, the Sam M. Walton College of Business, the College of Education and Health Professions, the College of Engineering, the School of Law, the Honors College, the Graduate School, and the Global Campus. The University is one of eleven campuses of the University of Arkansas System. The governing body is the Board of Trustees which is comprised of ten members.

GASB No. 14 addresses the issue of the financial reporting entity. According to GASB No. 14, the financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government; (b) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Under the provisions of this statement, the University is a component unit of the State of Arkansas (primary government). GASB No. 14 defines a component unit as a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. Although this statement is written from the perspective of the primary government, its requirements apply to the separately issued financial statements of a component unit, and therefore, the component unit should apply the provisions of GASB No. 14 as if it was a primary government.

(3). Compensated Absences

In June 2005, GASB issued Statement No. 47, Accounting for Termination Benefits, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The Statement established guidance for accounting and reporting of the costs and liabilities associated with termination benefits, such as those associated with early retirement incentives. The University has not extended a large-scale or age-related early retirement offering during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The University has, from time to time, negotiated early retirement agreements with faculty which may include the provision of healthcare or other benefits for future periods. The number of early retirement agreements is small and the obligation for future benefits is considered immaterial. Arkansas Code Annotated §21-4-501 authorized the compensation for accumulated unused sick leave for certain

$! B-52 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 employees upon retirement. The University has accrued a liability for these amounts in Compensated Absences Payable.

Employees accrue and accumulate annual and sick leave in accordance with policies established by the Board of Trustees. Full time, non-classified, University employees accrue annual leave at the rate of fifteen hours per month, classified employees at a variable rate (from 8 to 15 hours per month) dependent upon number of years of employment in state government. Under the University’s policy, an employee may carry accrued leave forward from one calendar year to another, up to a maximum of 240 hours (30 working days). Employees who terminate their employment are entitled to payment for all accumulated annual leave, up to the maximum allowed.

Classified employees who meet the conditions to be considered retirees at the time of termination of employment are entitled to a partial payment of accumulated, unused sick leave in accordance with the provisions of Arkansas Code Annotated §21-4-501.

The University recognizes a liability for compensated absences. The liability is based on the value of unused employee vacation and compensatory time as of year-end, including the associated benefits: contributions to Retirement, Social Security, Medicare, Workers’ Compensation, and Unemployment Insurance. The liability also includes amounts paid to eligible classified employees for unused sick leave. A classified employee who has accumulated at least fifty (50) days, but less than sixty (60) days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s daily salary. A classified employee who has accumulated at least sixty (60) days, but less than seventy (70) days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times 60 percent (60%) of the employee’s daily salary. A classified employee who has accumulated at least seventy (70) days, but less than eighty (80) days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to seventy percent (70%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times seventy percent (70%) of the employee’s daily salary. A classified employee that has accumulated at least eighty (80) or more days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times eighty percent (80%) of the employee’s daily salary. In no event shall an employee receive a sick leave incentive amount that exceeds $7,500.

The University recognizes the estimated amount of the liability that will be incurred within the next year as a current liability and the balance as noncurrent.

(4). Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments

Cash and cash equivalents – The University uses commercial banks for its cash deposits. Board of Trustees policy requires that all cash deposits be either insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or collateralized by securities held at a third party financial institution (preferably the Federal Reserve Bank) in the University’s name. Cash deposits are carried at cost. Cash balances in excess of current requirements are pooled and invested in highly liquid, short- term investments with the funds available on a daily basis.

External Investment Pool-University of Arkansas System Effective June 30, 1997, the University of Arkansas adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Pools. GASB No. 31 requires that investments be carried at fair value and all changes in fair value be reported in revenue as a component of investment income. In 1997, the University of Arkansas and the University of Arkansas Foundation established an external investment pool. This arrangement commingles (pools) the moneys of more than one legally separate entity and invests, on the participants’ behalf, in an investment portfolio. During 1998, the Walton Arts Foundation joined the pool and during 2003, the Fayetteville Campus Foundation joined the pool. During 2007, the University of Arkansas Community College at Hope Foundation joined the pool. The Razorback Foundation, Inc. joined the pool during 2012.

The governmental external investment pool is exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees and the University of Arkansas Foundation Board of Trustees are the sponsors of this investment pool and are responsible for operation and oversight for the pool. All participation in this investment pool is voluntary.

In January 2010, the University of Arkansas Investment Committee approved an agreement which delegated authority to the UA Foundation to manage University funds held in the Pool. The agreement included delegation of all responsibility for all investment guidelines and performance objectives for accounts within the Pool. The agreement also delegated to the UA Foundation authority for further delegation of portfolio implementation decisions to one or more investment managers. In January 2010, the UA Foundation entered into such an agreement with Cambridge Associates, LLC.

The following tables contain information on the risk disclosure of the Pool, which includes the Total Return Pool and the Intermediate Pool. The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville owns 8.79% of the Pool’s net assets.

(11). Employee Benefits

Retirement Benefits The University offers employees the option of participating in either the University of Arkansas Retirement Plan (UARP) which includes Teachers Insurance Annuity Association—College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF) and Fidelity Investments or the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System (APERS). Effective July 1, 2011, new employees of the University are no longer eligible to participate in the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS). Existing ATRS participants are allowed to continue ATRS participation. APERS and ATRS are both defined benefit plans.

The UARP is a defined contribution plan. The plan is a 403(b) program as defined by the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended, and is administered by the President of the University or his delegate. Employees who reach their tax-deferred 403(b) maximums can then participate in a 457(b) plan. Contributions to Fidelity Investments shall be applied either to individual annuities issued under a Metropolitan Life Guaranteed Account and/or one or more mutual fund custodian accounts managed by Fidelity Investments. Contributions to TIAA-CREF can be allocated among their various annuity accounts. Arkansas law authorizes participation in the plan.

Participants in the University’s plan can choose to be contributory or non-contributory. The University automatically contributes 5% of an employee’s regular salary to TIAA-CREF and/or Fidelity Investments retirement account, allocated between the two companies according to the employee’s choice. For any contributions an employee makes in excess of 5% regular salary, the University makes an equal contribution, up to a maximum University contribution of 10% of regular salary. Employee contributions in excess of 10% are allowed by the plans in accordance with Internal Revenue Service regulations but the University does not match these additional contributions. All benefits attributable to plan contributions made by both the University and the participant are immediately vested in the participant for all faculty members and non-classified employees and all classified employees whose initial employment occurred prior to January 1, 1985, and who made any plan contributions prior to that date. For all other classified employees, vesting of benefits attributable to plan contributions made by the University shall occur on the

The University’s and participants’ TIAA-CREF contributions for the year ending June 30, 2014, were $15,779,040 and $16,224,893, respectively. The University’s and participants’ Fidelity Investments contributions for the year ending June 30, 2014, were $6,734,948 and $7,050,302, respectively. The University’s and participants’ TIAA-CREF contributions for the year ending June 30, 2013, were $15,501,108 and $15,830,669, respectively. The University’s and participants’ Fidelity Investments contributions for the year ending June 30, 2013, were $6,181,711 and $6,338,988, respectively.

APERS is a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plan administered by the State of Arkansas. The University contributes 14.88% of applicable wages to the plan. Under certain conditions covered employees may voluntarily contribute 5% of his/her salary. The University’s and participants’ contributions for the year ending June 30, 2014, were $889,798 and $225,126, respectively. The University’s and participants’ contribution for the year ending June 30, 2013, were $636,330 and $144,164, respectively. The University’s and participants’ contribution for the year ending June 30, 2012, were $420,627 and $83,389, respectively.

ATRS is a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan. The University contributes 14% of all covered employees’ salaries. Under certain conditions covered employees may voluntarily contribute 6% of his/her salary. The University’s and participants’ contributions for the year ending June 30, 2014, were $249,997 and $67,728, respectively. The University’s and participants’ contributions for the year ending June 30, 2013, were $289,557 and $81,700, respectively. The University’s and participants’ contributions for the year ending June 30, 2012, were $303,552 and $82,177, respectively.

The University’s and participants’ contributions to all other pension plans for the year ended June 30, 2014, were $389,536 and $286,785, respectively. The University’s and participants’ contributions to all other pension plans for the year ended June 30, 2013, were $412,107 and $311,116, respectively.

Self-Insurance Plans The University of Arkansas System sponsors self-funded health and dental benefit plans for University employees and their eligible dependents. The Fayetteville, Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Monticello, and Batesville campuses, state-wide operating units of the Arkansas Archeological Survey and Division of Agriculture, System Administration, Criminal Justice Institute, the Clinton School of Public Service, the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts, and the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc., participate in the health insurance program which is administered by the System Administration. Operations of the plans are recorded in the separate University of Arkansas consolidated financial report.

As of January 1, 2014, post age 65, Medicare eligible retiree no longer participate in the University of Arkansas’ self-funded health and dental benefit plan. Those individuals are now covered by the UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage PPO plan.

&$ B-75 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

For the year ending June 30, 2014, a total of 4,504 active employees, former employees, and retirees were participants in the health plan. For the year ending June 30, 2013, the total of active employees, former employees, and retirees participating in the health plan was 5,030. The University pays 73.519% for the Point of Service Plan and 81.178% for the Classic Plan for Fayetteville, the Criminal Justice Institute and the Arkansas Archeological Survey. The University pays 74.295% for the Point of Service Plan and 79.905% for the Classic Plan for the Division of Agriculture. The University pays 75% of the health plan for federal employees.

Life Insurance Plan The University of Arkansas System’s life insurance carrier is Unum Life Insurance Company of America. The University’s life insurance is a fully-insured arrangement with the premiums being sent directly to the life insurance carrier.

Expenditures for all employee benefits are included as expenditures within the appropriate functional area.

12): Other Postemployment Benefits

Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) The University offers postemployment health (including prescription drugs) and dental benefits along with life insurance ($10,000 available coverage) to eligible retirees. Health and dental benefits are provided in the University’s self-funded plan sponsored by the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas System for current and retired employees of the Fayetteville (UAF), Little Rock (UALR), Medical Sciences (UAMS), Monticello (UAM), Pine Bluff (UAPB), Phillips (PCCUA) and Batesville (UACCB) campuses, the Cooperative Extension Service of the Division of Agriculture (CES), the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA), and the University of Arkansas System Administration (SYSTEM). The plan is considered a single- employer, defined benefit plan. The System Administration manages and administers the plan. Although benefits are also provided under the University’s plan for the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. and the University of Arkansas Winthrop Rockefeller Institute, no postemployment benefit is accrued by the University for these private entities. Financial activities of the plan are reported in the University of Arkansas consolidated financial report.

In June 2004, GASB issued Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, which became effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. This statement requires governmental entities to recognize and match other postretirement benefit costs with related services received and also to provide information regarding the actuarially calculated liability and funding level of the benefits associated with past services. The calculation reflects expected future medical costs. It includes an accrual for all active employees valuing the benefits they are anticipated to receive in retirement based on the likelihood that they will stay employed until eligible for postretirement benefits. As a result of the implementation of this statement, the University accrued $12,314,432 in retiree healthcare liability as of June 30, 2014.

&% B-76 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

For those campuses in the University’s self-funded plan, retirees qualify for postretirement benefits as follows:  Participation: Employees who retire with a combination of age and years of service of at least 70 with at least 10 years of coverage under the plan are eligible to participate. Retirees may cover spouses and eligible dependent children. Surviving spouses can continue coverage after retiree’s death. Retirees can continue coverage past Medicare eligibility age (age 65 or disabled) with the University plan paying secondary to Medicare.  Benefit Provided: Retirees participate in the plan at the same premium rate as an active employee.  Required Contribution Ratio: Retirees pay 100% of premium. Employer costs are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Summary of Key Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

Actuarial Assumptions University Self-Funded Plan

Valuation date July 1, 2013 Valuation year Census data was collected as of November 1, 2012 Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit Amortization method 30 years open, level % of payroll Asset valuation method N/A Discount rate 4.50% Projected payroll growth rate 4.00% Medical inflation rate Immediate rate of 7.5%, with a 0.25% decrease each year starting in year 3 to an ultimate rate of 4.75%

General Overview of the Valuation Methodology The process of determining the liability for retiree medical benefits is based on many assumptions about future events. Future increases in health care costs are affected by many factors, including: medical inflation; change in utilization patterns; technological advances; cost shifting; cost leveraging; and changes to government medical programs, such as Medicare.

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, and actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. Calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of each plan at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that point.

Changes in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods Effective January 1, 2013, UMR, a subsidiary of United Healthcare, replaced QualChoice as the University’s medical plan administrator. The effect of this change on network discounts was

&& B-77 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 estimated based on the United Healthcare book-of-business discount information contained in the Aon Hewitt Discount Analysis Database compared to the specific claims and discount data reported by QualChoice. In the aggregate, this change is estimated to reduce health care costs by 11.4%. Also, the healthcare trend rate assumption was changed to better reflect anticipated future experience. This change increased the Actuarial Accrued Liability by $2,059,046 as of July 1, 2013.

Medical Coverage – Retirees not Eligible for Medicare Claim experience for the period February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2014 was used to develop the claims cost for non-Medicare-eligible retirees. The paid claims data was converted to an incurred basis using a completion factor approach. This experience includes 987 life years of exposure and was deemed to be 70% credible. The experience was combined with the active claims experience adjusted for demographic differences to produce the per capita claims costs used in the valuation. Adjustment factors were then applied to develop expected claims by age to be used in the valuation. Expected retiree premiums were developed to represent the expected cost sharing level anticipated by the University. Retiree premiums were also age-adjusted for use in the valuation.

Medical Coverage – Retirees Eligible for Medicare Effective January 1, 2014, the plan for Medicare eligible retirees was changed to a fully insured Medicare Advantage program. Retirees pay 100% of the fully insured premium directly to United Healthcare. As a result, no liabilities for Medicare eligible retiree medical benefits are included in this valuation.

Dental Coverage Dental claims coverage for the period February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014 was used to develop per capita claims cost for dental coverage. The claims experience includes over 35,000 life years of exposure and was deemed to be fully credible. Based on this analysis, it was concluded that the retiree contributions are sufficient to fully cover the expected dental claims costs as intended. As such, the cost for dental coverage is excluded from this valuation.

In November 2003, GASB issued Statement No. 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The Statement established guidance for accounting and reporting for the impairment of capital assets and for insurance recoveries. For the purposes of this Statement, asset impairment is a significant, unexpected decline in the service utility of a capital asset. The events or changes in circumstances affecting a capital asset that may indicate impairment are prominent – that is, conspicuous or known to University management.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, there have been no prominent or conspicuous events that would indicate impairment of any material capital assets, nor have there been any material insurance recoveries during the fiscal year.

(18). Short-Term Debt

GASB Statement No. 38 issued June 1, 2001, states that governments should provide details about short-term debt activity during the year, even if no short-term debt is outstanding at year-end. The University had no short-term debt activity during the fiscal year, nor is there any outstanding balance of short-term debt as of June 30, 2014.

(19). Risk Management

The University of Arkansas Risk Management Program provides insurance coverage for all campuses within the University of Arkansas System. The role of the System Office is to analyze and recommend insurance coverage but it is ultimately up to each campus to inform the System Office regarding their specific coverage requirements.

All campuses are currently covered under the property and auto coverage provided through the System Office. The property coverage is insured through FM Global with a $100,000 deductible at the Fayetteville, Medical Sciences, and Little Rock Campuses. All other campuses have a $50,000 deductible. It is the responsibility of each campus to confirm all building and content values to be covered. The FM Global policy also contains earthquake and flood insurance coverage. The System Office has also secured domestic and foreign terrorism coverage.

'' B-88 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Likewise with the auto coverage, each campus is responsible for providing a list of vehicles to be covered under the auto coverage through Cypress Insurance. The auto coverage has a physical damage deductible of $1,000 and provides coverage against liability losses up to $1,000,000 per occurrence.

The University of Arkansas does not purchase general liability, errors or omissions, or tort immunity for claims arising from third-party losses on University property as the University of Arkansas has sovereign immunity against such claims. Claims against the University of Arkansas for such losses are heard before the State Claims Commission. In such cases where the University of Arkansas enters into a lease agreement to hold a function at a location not owned by the University of Arkansas, general liability coverage may be purchased for such functions.

The University of Arkansas maintains workers' compensation coverage through the State of Arkansas program. Premiums are paid through payroll and are based on a formula calculated by the Department of Finance and Administration which is provided to the campuses around April 1 of each year to be used for the upcoming fiscal year. The types of benefits and expenditures that are paid include the following: medical expenses, hospital expenses, death benefits, disability, and claimant’s attorney fees.

Additionally, the University of Arkansas participates in the State of Arkansas Fidelity Bond Program for claims of employee dishonesty. This program has a limit of $250,000 recovery per occurrence with a $2,500 deductible. Premiums are paid annually via a fund transfer from state appropriations to the Department of Finance and Administration.

There have been no reductions in insurance coverage from the prior fiscal year. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

20). Related Party Transactions

There were four significant related party transactions other than those with component units discussed in Note 1.

A member of the Board of Trustees is the Bank Chairman of the privately-held First Security Bancorp based in Searcy, Arkansas. At June 30, 2014, bank balances held at First Security Bank total $23,954,504 (book balances shown on the Statement of Net Position were $23,965,688). The University has conducted business with the bank for several years. In addition, Crews and Associates, Inc. (Crews) is a wholly owned, non-bank affiliate of First Security Bancorp and has served as one of the University’s bond underwriters for several years. After a Request for Proposal was issued in February, 2011, the Board selected two firms as underwriters, one of which was Crews, who, in FY14, was co-underwriter for two bond issues for the Fayetteville campus in the amount of $29,750,000.

The Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs is a member of the Board of Directors of Simmons First National Corporation (NASDAQ – SFNC) based in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. At June 30, 2014, bank balances held at Simmons First National Bank total $61,709,956 (book balances

'( B-89 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 shown on the Statement of Net Position were $61,709,956). Simmons First National Bank has served as trustee for bond proceeds for several years, and amounts on deposit represent funds held in that capacity, primarily for three bond issues.

The Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics is a member of the Board of Directors of Arvest Bank Fayetteville, one of 16 autonomous community-oriented banks which comprise Arvest Bank Group, Inc., based in Bentonville, Arkansas. At June 30, 2014, bank balances held at Arvest Bank Group, Inc. banks total $196,095 (book balances shown on the Statement of Net Position were $185,929).

The Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs is a member of the Board of Directors of the Educational and Institutional Cooperative Service, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation chartered in the State of New York in 1934. The principle role of the Cooperative is to secure group discounts and favorable terms of sale for member institutions by aggregating buying power through large volume contracts. The University has been a member institution of the E&I Cooperative since 1952. All contracts negotiated by E&I are competitively bid and approved for the university’s use by the Office of State Procurement. Purchases totaling $6,851,347 were made during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 utilizing twenty-nine E&I contracts.

(21). Restatement of Prior Year

Statement of Net Position The Statement of Net Position contained the following restatements for the year ended June 30, 2013 to reflect implementation of GASB Statement No. 65: Unamortized debt issuance costs totaling $3,153,503 are no longer recognized as an asset. Other assets, both current and noncurrent, were reduced by $167,797 and 2,985,706, respectively, and Net invested in capital assets was reduced $3,153,503 as a result of this change.

Scholarships awarded in the amount of $224,991 that apply to a future term were reclassified as a deferred outflow of resources. Funding for these scholarships previously recognized as revenue was reclassified as a Deferred inflow of resources. Accordingly, Net position restricted for scholarships and fellowships was reduced $224,991. Because the deferred outflow and inflow were for the same type of transaction and were the same amount, they were netted and do not appear on the face of the statement.

The deferral on debt defeasance in the amount of $6,200,312, previously reported as a component of Bonds, notes, capital leases and installment contracts payable, was reclassified as a deferred outflow of resources. As a result, Bonds, notes, capital leases and installment contracts payable, both current and noncurrent, increased by $595,131 and $5,605,181 respectively.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position contained the following restatements for the year ended June 30, 2013 to reflect implementation of GASB Statement No. 65:

( B-90 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Gift revenue increased $46,254, reflecting the change in deferred inflows of resources for scholarships awarded for a future period.

Interest on capital asset-related debt decreased $133,781 to reflect the fiscal year 2013 bond costs amortization.

Other nonoperating expenses increased $1,260,225 to recognize bond issuance costs for fiscal year 2013 new issues.

Net position – beginning of year was reduced a total of $2,298,304 to reflect the fiscal year 2012 deferred inflow of $271,245 for scholarship funding and $2,027,059 for unamortized bond issuance costs.

The restatements discussed above had no effect on the Statement of Cash Flows.

(22). Pollution Remediation

In November 2006, GASB issued Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Statement establishes standards for the accounting and financial reporting of pollution (including contamination) remediation obligations. On July 21, 2009, the University was awarded a grant in the amount of $1,900,000 from the United States Department of Energy to conduct a study to determine what obligation, if any, the University may have for potential remediation of the Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor site (SEFOR); including estimated remediation cost and development of a plan for necessary remediation. As of June 30, 2013, the study has been completed and the grant closed. The University remains under no obligation to begin pollution remediation of the site.

(23). Contingencies

The University has been named as defendant in several lawsuits. It is the opinion of management and its legal counsel that the ultimate outcome of litigation will not have a material effect on the future operations or financial position of the University.

(24). Subsequent Event

On August 14, 2014, the governing documents establishing and defining the joint endeavor between the City of Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas to operate the Walton Arts Center were revised to ensure clarity and flexibility to allow the Walton Arts Center to meet the arts and entertainment needs of all residents of Northwest Arkansas with a multi-venue system, while at the same time confirming support of the original partnership. Revisions were made to the respective Articles of Incorporation of the Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc. and the Walton Arts Center Council, Inc. to clarify the purpose of each entity to encompass multiple venues in the Northwest Arkansas region; to allow the Walton Family Foundation to appoint

( B-91 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 nine additional directors to the Board of Directors of the Arts Center Council while ensuring that the City and University maintain their proportionate number of Directors on the Board; to return the City of Fayetteville’s initial payment of $1.5 million dollars to the Foundation back to the City for the City’s use in the construction of a parking facility adjacent to the Walton Arts Center or as otherwise determined by the Fayetteville City Council; and with consent by the University to expend the institution’s initial payment of $1.5 million dollars to the Foundation to help defray the construction costs of the proposed enlargement and enhancement of the Walton Arts Center located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Upon return of the funds to the City and the use of University provided funds for construction, the Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc. will no longer be an agent for the City of Fayetteville or the University of Arkansas. The City and the University will no longer have the right of appointment of Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc. directors.

An Amended and Restated Interlocal Cooperation Agreement was also executed that permits the Walton Arts Center to conduct business as a separate, free-standing non-profit corporation; that budget and operational oversight rests exclusively with the Walton Arts Center Council and confirms the Walton Arts Center is no longer and agent of the University or the City, nor restricted to the terms of the original agreement; and affirms the Walton Arts Center must comply with the terms of a new lease agreement executed by the University, City of Fayetteville and the Walton Arts Center Council.

The lease agreement extends the term to twenty-five years and recognizes the changed scope of the Walton Arts Center. The lease also provides assurances regarding the on-going quality and type of performances at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.

Since there is no funding, the expected contributions are any retiree premiums actually paid by the University plus expected implicit subsidy payments. The implicit rate subsidy is the difference between the true cost of medical benefits and the cost sharing premiums paid by the retiree.

General Overview of the Valuation Methodology The process of determining the liability for retiree medical benefits is based on many assumptions about future events. Future increases in health care costs are affected by many factors, including: medical inflation; change in utilization patterns; technological advances; cost shifting; cost leveraging; and changes to government medical programs, such as Medicare.

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, and actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. Calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of each plan at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that point.

Changes in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods Effective January 1, 2013, UMR, a subsidiary of United Healthcare, replaced QualChoice as the University’s medical plan administrator. The effect of this change on network discounts was estimated based on the United Healthcare book-of-business discount information contained in the Aon Hewitt Discount Analysis Database compared to the specific claims and discount data reported by QualChoice. In the aggregate, this change is estimated to reduce health care costs by 11.4%. Also, the healthcare trend rate assumption was changed to better reflect anticipated future experience. This change increased the Actuarial Accrued Liability by $2,059,046 as of July 1, 2013.

Medical Coverage – Retirees not Eligible for Medicare Claim experience for the period February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2014 was used to develop the claims cost for non-Medicare-eligible retirees. The paid claims data was converted to an incurred basis using a completion factor approach. This experience includes 987 life years of exposure and was deemed to be 70% credible. The experience was combined with the active claims experience adjusted for demographic differences to produce the per capita claims costs used in the valuation. Adjustment factors were then applied to develop expected

($ B-95

claims by age to be used in the valuation. Expected retiree premiums were developed to represent the expected cost sharing level anticipated by the University. Retiree premiums were also age-adjusted for use in the valuation.

Medical Coverage – Retirees Eligible for Medicare Effective January 1, 2014, the plan for Medicare eligible retirees was changed to a fully insured Medicare Advantage program. Retirees pay 100% of the fully insured premium directly to United Healthcare. As a result, no liabilities for Medicare eligible retiree medical benefits are included in this valuation.

Dental Coverage Dental claims coverage for the period February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014 was used to develop per capita claims cost for dental coverage. The claims experience includes over 35,000 life years of exposure and was deemed to be fully credible. Based on this analysis, it was concluded that the retiree contributions are sufficient to fully cover the expected dental claims costs as intended. As such, the cost for dental coverage is excluded from this valuation.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Management Discussion and Analysis

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

The University of Arkansas System (“the University”) is pleased to present its financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, with the fiscal year 2013 prior year data presented for comparative purposes. The data presented include the Statement of Net Position, the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position, and the Statement of Cash Flows.

The University, which prior to 1969 consisted of the Fayetteville and Medical Sciences campuses, was expanded in 1969 to include the Little Rock campus (formerly Little Rock University), in 1971 to include the Monticello campus (formerly Arkansas A&M College), in 1972 to include the Pine Bluff campus (formerly Arkansas AM&N College), in 1996 to include the Phillips campus (formerly Phillips County Community College), and the Hope campus (formerly Red River Technical College), and in 1998 to include the Batesville campus (formerly Gateway Technical College). On July 1, 2001, the University was expanded to include campuses in Morrilton (formerly Petit Jean College) and DeQueen (formerly Cossatot Community College). The Fort Smith campus (formerly Westark College) joined the University on January 1, 2002. Forest Echoes Technical Institute and Great Rivers Technical Institute merged with the Monticello campus on July 1, 2003. The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts joined the University on January 1, 2004. In addition to these campuses, the University of Arkansas System includes the following units: Clinton School of Public Service, Division of Agriculture, Archeological Survey, Criminal Justice Institute, eVersity, and the System Administration.

All programs and activities of the University of Arkansas are governed by its Board of Trustees, which has delegated to the President the administrative authority for all aspects of the University’s operations. Administrative authority is further delegated to the Chancellors, the Vice President for Agriculture, the Dean of the Clinton School, the Director of the Criminal Justice Institute, the Director of Archeological Survey, and the Director of Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts, who have responsibility for the programs and activities of their respective campuses or state-wide operating division.

The University’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with standards issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements-and Management’s Discussion and Analysis-for Public Colleges and Universities, provides a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, deferred inflows, net position, revenues, expenses, changes in net position, and cash flows. This discussion has been prepared by management and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes following this section.

The University has identified two foundations as component units subject to inclusion in the financial report: the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. and the University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc. As component units, their financial information is included in this financial report in accordance with GASB Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units. Additional information regarding these foundations is provided in Note 1 of the financial statements.

Statement of Net Position

The statement of net position presents the financial position of the University and includes all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. The sum of total assets and deferred outflows of resources less total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is net position, which is an indicator of the current financial condition of the University. When revenues and other support exceed expenses, the result is an increase in net position. When the reverse occurs, there is a decrease in net position. Over time, increases or decreases in an institution’s net position are one, but not the only, indicator of whether its financial health is improving or diminishing.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Management Discussion and Analysis

Assets and liabilities are identified as current or noncurrent. Current assets are those assets that can be realized in the next fiscal year, and current liabilities are expected to be paid within the next year. Noncurrent assets and liabilities are not expected to be realized as cash or paid in the next fiscal year. Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are generally measured using current values, with the exception of capital assets, which are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.

Net position is divided into four major 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 – non-expendable: net position subject to externally-imposed stipulations that it be maintained permanently by the University. Restricted – 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 that is not subject to externally imposed stipulations but can be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for any purpose if not limited by contractual agreements with outside parties.

Condensed Statement of Net Position

June 30, 2014 June 30, 2013 ASSETS Current assets $ 815,366,316 $ 828,536,348 Capital assets, net 2,588,971,402 2,511,847,964 Other assets 436,958,448 450,987,464 Total Assets $ 3,841,296,166 $ 3,791,371,776

LIABILITIES Current liabilities $ 267,910,051 $ 282,055,791 Noncurrent liabilities 1,444,471,269 1,435,931,889 Total Liabilities $ 1,712,381,320 $ 1,717,987,680

NET POSITION Net Investment in Capital Assets $ 1,361,813,338 $ 1,322,883,554 Restricted Non-Expendable $ 67,095,362 $ 62,673,845 Expendable 232,118,779 206,205,496 Unrestricted 482,945,007 497,471,195 Total Net Position $ 2,143,972,486 $ 2,089,234,090

The University’s total assets increased $49.9 million, resulting from several offsetting variances, including an increase of $41.7 million in cash and investments. An increase of $4.7 million in patient accounts receivable resulted from additional net patient service revenue experienced by UAMS. Accounts receivable decreased $13.0 million, half of which is directly related to the increase that UAMS experienced in fiscal year 2013. Deposits with bond trustees, representing unspent debt proceeds and bond reserve funds, decreased $60.4 million, and are directly related to the increase of $77.1 million in capital assets.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Management Discussion and Analysis

Deferred outflows of resources consist of deferred amounts on refinancing of debt. Prior to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 65, these deferred amounts were included with the debt liability. The deferred outflows decreased $0.8 million from the fiscal year’s amortization.

Total liabilities decreased $5.6 million and also resulted from several offsetting variances. Estimated third party payor settlements related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs at UAMS increased $6.1 million. Compensated absences (see Note 4) and other post-employment benefits (see Note 13) increased a total of $6.3 million. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities decreased $14.3 million. The liability for bonds, notes, capital leases and installment contracts decreased $3.7 million.

The increase in assets of $49.9 million netted against decreases of $0.8 million in deferred outflows of resources and $5.6 million in liabilities resulted in an increase of $54.7 million in total net position for the University.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position

Changes in total net position are the result of activity presented in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. The statement presents operating and non-operating revenues received and expenses incurred by the University, along with any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses. The operating losses of $689.1 million and $629.4 million in fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively, are of little significance to the University since the GASB requires a significant portion of revenues (state appropriations, gifts, and some grants and contracts) to be reported as non-operating.

Condensed Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position

Year Ended June 30, 2014 June 30, 2013 Operating revenues $ 1,841,967,925 $ 1,818,872,452 Operating expenses 2,531,083,604 2,448,232,959 Operating Loss (689,115,679) (629,360,507)

Non-operating revenues and expenses 694,316,513 687,194,519

Income before other revenues and expenses 5,200,834 57,834,012

Other revenues and expenses 49,537,562 24,048,887

Increase in Net Position 54,738,396 81,882,899

Net Position, beginning of year restated 2,089,234,090 2,007,351,191

Net Position, end of year $ 2,143,972,486 $ 2,089,234,090

Operating revenue increased $23.1, due to several factors. An increase of $32.8 million in net patient services revenue is due primarily to an increase in third party payor rates, higher acuity cases, and an increase in professional fees. Net student tuition and fees increased $20.3 million, 81% of which was a reflection of continued record enrollment growth and rate revisions at the Fayetteville campus. Other operating revenue decreased $22.1 million due in large part to recognition and receipt in fiscal year 2013 of a nonrecurring refund of $13.6 million to UAMS from the Internal Revenue Service for Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes paid on wages

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Management Discussion and Analysis for medical residents for calendar years 1996 through 1999. Athletic income decreased $4.7 million, largely due to changes in football game scheduling on the Fayetteville campus that resulted in loss of ticket sales due to one less home game and added travel expense. Grants and contracts collectively decreased $7.1 million, mainly due to activity on three campuses. UAMS experienced decreases of $6.5 million, largely from decreased funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and $4.8 million in state grants due to reduced activity, offset by an increase of $7.5 million, primarily due to increased contract activity in the College of Medicine. The Fayetteville campus had an increase of $2.9 million, primarily as a result of timing of certain awards and other cyclical changes. There was a decrease of $5.6 million for the Little Rock campus due to the completion of some grants.

Total operating expenses increased $82.8 million, approximately half of which is due to increased compensation and benefit costs of $41.8 million, or 2.9%, over the previous year. Compensation and benefit expense at UAMS rose a total of $34.0 million, of which $16.6 million is related to patient care, primarily due to the staffing required to support increases in the outpatient clinics and emergency room and the clinical complexity of patients in the hospital. Also contributing significantly to the increase at UAMS was the need for additional staff for the final year of the implementation phase of the new integrated clinical software system. Compensation and benefit costs increased $16.9 million at the Fayetteville campus because of necessary increases in faculty to support enrollment growth along with modest salary increases for faculty and staff. These increases were offset by a decrease in compensation and benefit expense at the Little Rock campus in the amount of $5.9 million due to an aggressive early retirement package and stringent controls on refilling of vacancies. Expense related to the insurance plan increased $9.0 million due to a large number of catastrophic claims in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. The cost of supplies and services increased $31.7 million, of which $12.7 million is attributable to UAMS and $11.6 million to the Fayetteville campus. The increase in depreciation of $7.0 million is offset by a decrease of $6.7 million in scholarship expense.

Net non-operating revenues increased by $7.1 million. This was in large part due to increases of $13.3 million in state appropriations, and $15.9 million in investment income, largely due to a positive investment market during the fiscal year, offset by decreases of $10.0 million in non- exchange grants, $4.7 million in non-capital gifts, and an increase of $8.0 million in interest and fees on capital asset-related debt.

Other changes in net position increased $25.5 million, of which $21.9 million is an increase in capital appropriations, largely from state General Improvement Funds.

Gifts reported reflect only a portion of the gifts available to the University. Most gifts for the benefit of the University are made to the University of Arkansas Foundation, whose financial information is presented in Note 1.

Statement of Cash Flows

The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about the cash receipts and disbursements of the University for the year. This statement may aid in the assessment of the University’s ability to meet obligations as they become due, the need for external financing, and the ability to generate future cash flow. This statement is prepared using the “direct method” as required by the GASB.

Similar to operating loss on the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, net cash provided by operating activities is of little significance to the University because the GASB requires significant sources of cash to be reported as non-operating financing. The net cash provided by the combination of operating activities and non-capital financing activities is a much more meaningful number for the University. The positive amounts of $193.1 million and $209.7 million for fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively, indicate that these activities contributed cash and liquidity for the year. Cash used by capital and related financing activities reflects the University’s continued use of debt to finance the acquisition of capital assets.

Capital Assets and Long-Term Debt Activity

At June 30, 2014, the University had $2.6 billion of capitalized assets, net of accumulated depreciation of $1.9 billion. Net capital additions in fiscal year 2014 totaled $200.9 million which was offset by a net adjustment to accumulated depreciation of $123.8 million, resulting in an increase over the previous year of $77.1 million.

New debt issued for bonds, notes, and capital leases offset by payments of principal caused a net decrease of $3.7 million in debt for fiscal year 2014. The University issued a total of $91.7 million in bonds, $22.3 million of which represents refunding issues. Refunding bond issues include: $5.3 million to refund Series 2006 for the Fort Smith campus and $17.0 million to refund Series 2005A for the Pine Bluff campus. The Fayetteville campus issued $24.7 million (Series 2014A) and $5.0 million (Series 2014B) to finance the purchase of the Cato Springs Research Center, the renovation and upgrading of the central heating plant, renovating the Field House and converting it into the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center, the renovation and repurposing of underutilized space in the Agricultural, Food, and Life Science Building into general purpose classrooms, the renovation, improving, equipping, and furnishing of previously purchased buildings to be used as an Art and Design District, and the renovation and expansion of student housing. The Little Rock campus issued $28.7 million (Series 2013C) to fund a complete campus energy management and conservation program, including upgraded building automation systems and retrofits of pneumatic controls to digital direct controls, retro- commissioning of building HVAC systems, distributed generation, district heating and cooling systems, interior lighting retrofits, and exterior lighting retrofits. The Fort Smith campus issued $11.0 million (Series 2014B) to construct a student recreation and wellness center. More detailed information about debt activity is presented in Note 7.

Economic Outlook

The University’s financial position improved in fiscal year 2014 with an increase of $54.7 million in net position in spite of a decrease of $9.3 million, which was the net effect of restatements required by GASB Statement No. 65 (see Note 21). Moody’s Investors Service last reaffirmed the University’s rating of Aa2 with a stable outlook on June 19, 2014. One of the University’s greatest strengths is the diverse stream of revenue which funds its operations, including tuition, patient services revenue, state appropriations, investment income, grants and contracts, and support from individuals, foundations, and corporations. Because the Fayetteville campus and

10 C-12

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Management Discussion and Analysis the Medical Sciences campus account for 74.0% of total net position and 86.5% of operating revenues, discussion below is centered on these two campuses.

UAMS Fiscal year 2014 was a challenging year for UAMS as evidenced by its $14,534,000 decrease in net position. The transition to the new EPIC integrated clinical information system, which was completed during fiscal year 2014, accounts for some of the change, both in terms of direct project expense incurred during the year as well as the slowdown of patient revenue collection simply due to the system changeover. As UAMS gains experience with this new system, it is anticipated there will much greater efficiency in the revenue cycle in terms of charge capture, billing, and collections that could yield additional revenue benefits.

Federal support remains an unknown for the future. National Institute for Health research funding is unlikely to return to pre-sequestration levels. Graduate medical education, especially indirect medical education reimbursements, is expected to be reduced, and Medicare disproportionate share (DSH) payments are expected to decline as much as $1.1 billion nationally over the next couple of years. UAMS’ net patient service revenue included $66.7 million in Medicare DSH payments in fiscal year 2014.

On the positive side, uncompensated care continued to decline dramatically during fiscal year 2014, from about 12% to 4%, as more Arkansas residents signed up for healthcare insurance coverage under Arkansas’ private option expansion of Medicaid. This contributed positively to UAMS patient service revenue during the latter part of the fiscal year. There is an expectation that there will be a much more significant impact in fiscal year 2015, adding as much as $14 million to patient care revenue. UAMS remains highly dependent on patient service revenue, which represents 72.3% of total revenue.

Reductions in state appropriations were implemented for fiscal year 2015 totaling $14.6 million, though relief in the form of $7 million of state rainy day funds has been provided to restore part of this reduction. It is also expected that a portion of the funding match to the Arkansas Department of Human Services for Medicaid supplemental funds will be waived in fiscal year 2015. The funding match is approximately $7.5 million and is used to obtain Medicaid supplemental funding for Arkansas’ rural hospitals. This change is expected to become a permanent change to UAMS’ matching requirements. Future budget strategies will place greater emphasis on the educational components of UAMS’ mission and the importance of that educational mission to the State of Arkansas.

In the next couple of years, UAMS will seek opportunities to invest in its clinical and campus infrastructure in order to sustain growth, target opportunities for additional patient referrals by expanding its primary care footprint in the State, and take advantage of clinical opportunities in key specialties through statewide partnerships. A new primary care clinic recently opened in west Little Rock, Arkansas. Through its newly created Center for Health and Economic Development, UAMS launched provider service initiatives with Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas and CHI St. Vincent Hospital. Plans to refinance bonds, to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment, will help provide added revenue to support these initiatives and others.

UAMS is continuing its performance excellence program and beginning to implement its new service line strategy that was developed in fiscal year 2013. Four service lines are planned to go into operation in fiscal year 2015 that will bring together clinical components of the College of Medicine, the Hospital, and Clinics into an integrated clinical enterprise: Cancer, Behavioral Health, Women’s Health, and Primary Care. To support the many operational changes this initiative will require, efforts have begun to transform the organizational structure in finance, human resources, and a few other areas. It is expected that all of these efforts, together with the many projects underway to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of processes, will result in improved patient care and better service to students and the community, while resulting in cost reduction and increased revenue.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Management Discussion and Analysis

UAMS recently completed the organizational consolidation of registration, student records, student accounts, and student financial assistance operations and has begun standardizing processes in these areas. These changes were necessary to accommodate the implementation of the new student information system which remains on target for a Fall 2015 implementation.

While there are many positive changes occurring that will lead to a more efficient and effective operating environment at UAMS, management understands that many challenges remain to reaching goals and objectives. At the same time, management is committed to pursuing these goals, sustaining financial viability, and serving the needs of its patients, students, and community stakeholders. Through the strategies UAMS has adopted, the institution will be well-positioned to address the impact of the changes occurring in healthcare.

Fayetteville Enrollment records continue to be broken, with a preliminary figure of 26,237, an increase of 896, for fall 2014. This marks the first time the flagship campus has exceeded 26,000 students. Undergraduate enrollment is up 3.9%. Graduate enrollment increased 2% and the enrollment at the School of Law decreased 2.8%. Since 2008, enrollment has increased 37%, or more than 7,100 students. This growth trend led the Chronicle of Higher Education to rank the Fayetteville campus as the 7th fastest growing public research university in the country. The campus has also experienced a steady improvement in both academic quality and diversity.

The campus continues to build momentum for its next comprehensive fundraising campaign. Fundraising production totals for private gift support has exceeded $100 million for four consecutive years. Production amounts include gifts of cash, gifts-in-kind, planned gifts, and new pledges. In fiscal year 2014, the campus recognized $113.3 million of private gift support, surpassing its goal of $108 million. This support is critical to ensure success for students and faculty and is a fundamental component in meeting budgetary needs. Support received from alumni, friends, organizations, faculty, and staff enhances all aspects of the student experience, including academic and need-based scholarships; technology enhancements; new and renovated facilities; undergraduate, graduate and faculty research; student abroad opportunities; and innovative programs. Virtually all private gifts are received by the University of Arkansas Foundation.

New Initiative At its meeting on March 21, 2014, the Board of Trustees adopted a resolution establishing the University of Arkansas System eVersity (UASe), a complete online university that will seek its own accreditation. Faculty will be composed of faculty from all UA System campuses who express a desire to work with UASe. Early efforts will be focused on enrolling traditionally un- served and underserved Arkansans. Hiring for full-time staff has begun, and it is anticipated that the first degree programs will be available beginning in October, 2015. UASe received $2 million in state General Improvement Funds in fiscal year 2014 that will help fund start-up costs.

All Campuses Financial support from state government for all campuses remains a critical element to the continued financial health of the University. Arkansas appears to have successfully weathered the effects of the national economic crisis, as general revenue forecasts are positive and the state budget remains balanced. Excluding the reductions for UAMS as discussed above, state funding in fiscal year 2015 remains relatively flat with some, but not all, campuses receiving increases that total $2.9 million. Management will continue to budget conservatively and to emphasize cost containment.

From the fall semester of 2009 to the fall semester of 2014, the number of full-time equivalent students has increased 8.9% from 45,284 to 49,310, and headcount has increased 4.1% from 59,661 to 62,109.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements for the University of Arkansas (“the University”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The accompanying notes to the financial statements are an integral part of the financial statements.

The following acronyms are used for the various campuses and divisions of the University as reported in the financial statements: UAF (University of Arkansas Fayetteville, including Agricultural Experiment Station, Cooperative Extension Service, Arkansas Archeological Survey, Criminal Justice Institute, and Clinton School of Public Service), UAFS (University of Arkansas at Fort Smith), UALR (University of Arkansas at Little Rock), UAMS (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences), UAM (University of Arkansas at Monticello), UAPB (University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff), CCCUA (Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas), PCCUA (Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas), UACCB (University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville), UACCH (University of Arkansas Community College at Hope), UACCM (University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton), ASMSA (Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts), and SYSTEM (University of Arkansas System Administration, including University of Arkansas System eVersity).

Basis of Presentation and Measurement Focus For financial reporting purposes, the University is considered a special-purpose government engaged in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University’s financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable. Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, if measurable, including depreciation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The classification of “cash and cash equivalents” on the statement of net position includes all readily available sources of cash such as petty cash, demand deposits, cash on deposit with the State Treasurer, and highly liquid short-term investments.

Investments Investments are stated at fair value. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value are reported as a component of investment income on the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.

Inventories Inventories are valued at cost with cost generally being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

Accounts Receivable Receivables that represent charges due the University from various student fees, room and board, student fines, patient care services, and other charges are stated at estimated net realizable values; that is, the gross amount of the receivable is reduced by allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts and contractual allowances (related to patient care revenue). Receivables can also include unreimbursed expenses relating to research contracts with federal, state, and private agencies.

Patient Care Revenue Patient care revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered. Retroactive adjustments arising under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are accrued on an estimated basis in the period in which the related services are rendered and adjusted as final settlements are determined.

Charity Care UAMS provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Because UAMS does not pursue collection of amounts

26 C-28

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14 determined to qualify as charity care, these amounts are accounted for as a reduction of patient services revenue at the time the services are rendered.

Encumbrances Encumbrances representing commitments and outstanding purchase orders for goods and services not received as of the last day of the fiscal year are not reported as expenses or included in liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

Capital Assets Capital assets consisting of land, buildings, improvements, furniture, equipment, intangible assets, and construction in progress are stated at cost or fair market value at date of gift. Library holdings are generally valued using average prices for library acquisitions. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets -- generally 15-30 years for buildings, 15-20 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 3-10 years for equipment, 10 years for library holdings, and the applicable term for capital leases. The capitalization threshold for depreciation increased from $2,500 to $5,000 beginning July 1, 2011, with the exception of the Fayetteville campus that increased its capitalization threshold to $5,000 beginning July 1, 2012. Estimated useful lives for purposes of amortization and capitalization thresholds for intangible assets are as follows: purchased software (5-10 years; $500,000); internally developed software (10 years; $1,000,000); easements, land use rights, trademarks, and copyrights (15 years; $250,000); and patents (20 years; $250,000). Livestock is maintained primarily for research purposes with any other benefits derived from the operations considered as incidental to the primary mission of the University. The inventory value placed on the animals is determined by utilizing current market prices and breeding and research intangibles. UAMS bases its estimated useful lives on guidelines established by the American Hospital Association (AHA) which may differ slightly from those shown above for the other campuses.

Capitalization of Interest The University capitalizes interest involving qualifying assets. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized is interest cost on borrowings netted against any interest earned on temporary investments of the proceeds of those borrowings from the date of borrowing until the specified qualifying assets acquired with those borrowings are ready for their intended use. The total amount of interest cost incurred (gross of amortizations of premiums and discounts) and the net amount thereof that has been capitalized was $55,158,656 and $6,403,139, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Net Position The University’s net position is classified as follows:

 Net investment in capital assets -- total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. However, unexpended debt proceeds at year-end are reported as net position restricted for capital projects.  Restricted/non-expendable -- endowment and similar type funds in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which either may be expended or added to principal.  Restricted/expendable -- resources 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. There is no formal policy requiring restricted resources to be used either before or after unrestricted resources are used for the same purpose. Responsible officials determine at the time funds are expended to use any unrestricted resources that may be available.  Unrestricted -- resources not subject to externally imposed stipulations. These resources may be designated for specific purposes by management or the Board of Trustees or may be otherwise limited by contractual agreements with outside parties.

C-29 27

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

Classification of Revenues The University has classified its revenues as either operating or non-operating according to the following criteria:

 Operating Revenue -- includes activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as student tuition and fees (net of scholarship discounts and allowances), patient services (net of contractual agreements), most federal, state, and local grants and contracts, revenues associated with auxiliary enterprises (net of scholarship discounts and allowances), interest on institutional student loans, and the University’s self-funded insurance plans.  Non-Operating Revenue -- includes activities that have the characteristics of non- exchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as non-operating revenues by the GASB Statement No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.

State Appropriations State appropriations are reported in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position as non-operating revenue, net of the Medicaid match payments required under various contracts between UAMS and the Arkansas Department of Human Services. The match payments were $68,620,000 and $64,638,000 for the fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Scholarship Discounts and Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported net of scholarship discounts and allowances in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. Scholarship discounts and allowances are the differences 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, state, or nongovernmental programs, are recorded as either operating or non-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 discount and allowance.

Component Units In May 2002, the GASB issued Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units, which amends Statement No. 14 to provide additional guidance to determine whether certain organizations for which the primary government is not financially accountable should be reported as component units based on the nature and significance of their relationship with a primary government. Under the standard, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, the financial activities of qualifying foundations are to be included in the financial statements of the primary government, through discrete presentations. In fiscal year 2014, there were two qualifying foundations for the University of Arkansas: the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. and the University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc. Although the University does not control the timing or amount of receipts from either of these foundations, the majority of resources or income thereon, which the foundations hold and invest, is restricted to the activities of the University by the donors. Because these restricted resources held by the foundations can be used only by, or for the benefit of, the University, and their individual net assets are considered as having met the financial accountability criteria of Statement No. 39 by management, these two foundations are considered component units of the University and are discretely presented in the University’s financial statements.

The University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. is a separate nonprofit organization, which operates for charitable educational purposes, including the administration and investment of gifts and other amounts received directly or indirectly for the benefit of the University of Arkansas. The Board of Directors has twenty-two members, four of which are current or previous members of the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees. During the years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, the Foundation distributed $60,731,076 and $68,695,019, respectively, to or on behalf of the University. Complete financial

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14 statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the administrative office at 535 Research Center Boulevard, Suite 120, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

The University of Arkansas Fayetteville Campus Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit charitable organization which was established by the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation, Inc., for the exclusive benefit of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville campus. The Foundation was established on March 11, 2003, and exists primarily to support the Honors College, the Graduate School, and the University’s library. The Board of Trustees of the Foundation is made up of seven members, including three members who are also employees of the University. During the years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, the Foundation distributed $19,691,816 and $18,618,422, respectively, to or on behalf of the University. Complete financial statements for the Foundation can be obtained from the administrative office at 535 Research Center Boulevard, Suite 120, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

New Accounting Pronouncements The GASB issued Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, which became effective with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The Statement provides guidance to either (a) properly classify certain assets and liabilities as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources or (b) recognize some assets and liabilities as outflows of resources (expenses or expenditures) or inflows of resources (revenues). In accordance with Statement 65, the University made several adjustments which are discussed in detail in Note 21.

The GASB also issued three other statements which became effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014: Statement No. 66, Technical Corrections – 2012, an amendment of GASB Statements No. 10 and No. 62, which resolves conflicting guidance contained in previously issued GASB pronouncements; Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans--an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, that addresses financial reporting by state and local governmental pension plans; and Statement No. 70, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees, that specifies reporting requirements for governments that either extend or receive nonexchange financial guarantees. Management has determined that Statements 66 and 67 have no effect on current reporting or disclosures, and that the requirements of Statement No. 70 are being met in Footnote 16, Contingencies.

The GASB issued the following three statements which become effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015: Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions—an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, Statement No. 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations, and Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68. Management has not yet determined the effects of these statements on the University’s financial statements.

The University of Arkansas System (“the University”), which prior to 1969 consisted of the Fayetteville and Medical Sciences campuses, was expanded in 1969 to include the Little Rock campus (formerly Little Rock University), in 1971 to include the Monticello campus (formerly Arkansas A&M College), in 1972 to include the Pine Bluff campus (formerly Arkansas AM&N College), in 1996 to include the Phillips campus (formerly Phillips County Community College), and the Hope campus (formerly Red River Technical College), and in 1998 to include the Batesville campus (formerly Gateway Technical College). On July 1, 2001, the University was expanded to include campuses in Morrilton (formerly Petit Jean College) and DeQueen (formerly Cossatot Community College). The Fort Smith campus (formerly Westark College) joined the University on January 1, 2002. Forest Echoes Technical Institute and Great Rivers Technical Institute merged with the Monticello campus on July 1, 2003. The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts joined the University on January 1, 2004. In addition to these campuses, the University includes the System Administration, and the following units that are included in the financial statements of the Fayetteville campus: Clinton School of Public Service, Division of Agriculture

(Agricultural Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service), Archeological Survey, and Criminal Justice Institute.

All programs and activities of the University of Arkansas System are governed by its Board of Trustees, which has been accorded constitutional status for the exercise of its powers and authority by Amendment 33 to the Arkansas Constitution. The Board of Trustees has delegated to the President the administrative authority for all aspects of the University’s operations. Administrative authority is further delegated to the Chancellors, the Vice President for Agriculture, the Dean of the Clinton School, the Director of the Criminal Justice Institute, the Director of Archeological Survey, and the Director of Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts, who have responsibility for the programs and activities of their respective campuses or state-wide operating division.

According to the GASB Statement No. 14, the financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government; (b) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Under the provisions of this statement, the University is a component unit of the State of Arkansas (primary government). The GASB Statement No. 14 defines a component unit as a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. Although this statement is written from the perspective of the primary government, its requirements apply to the separately issued financial statements of a component unit, and therefore, the component unit should apply its provisions as if it was a primary government.

Note 3: Hospital Revenue

The Hospital is a division of UAMS, and the Faculty Group Practice (FGP) is the collective body of the College of Medicine faculty involved in professional practice at UAMS. FGP is an integral component of UAMS, functioning as an unincorporated division of the College of Medicine. As such, it is subject to the policies and regulations of the College of Medicine, UAMS, and the Board of Trustees of the University. Patient care operations are included in the accompanying financial statements under accounting principles generally followed by governmental colleges and universities. Patient accounts receivable at June 30, 2014, and 2013, are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $447,121,000 and $468,282,000, respectively.

Net patient services revenue for the years ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, is as follows:

NET PATIENT SERVICES REVENUE FY2014 FY2013 Gross patient revenue $ 2,275,786,000 $ 2,006,148,000 Less patient services contractual allowances 1,280,815,000 1,029,435,000 Less provision for bad debt 75,605,000 90,136,000 TOTAL $ 919,366,000 $ 886,577,000

UAMS provided approximately $132,590,000 and $141,296,000 in charity care, based on established rates, during the years ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Because UAMS does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not included in gross patient revenue above. Net patient services revenue for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, includes approximately $80,328,000 and $71,722,000, respectively, from the Medicaid program representing payments relating to Upper Payment Limit and Disproportionate Share reimbursements. These payments are available to state-operated teaching hospitals under Medicaid regulations. Net patient services revenue for the years ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, includes approximately $33,487,000 and $28,906,000, respectively, of net revenue from the Supplemental Medicaid program.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

The Hospital, FGP, and Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) have agreements with governmental and other third-party payors that provide for reimbursement at amounts different from their established rates. Contractual adjustments under third-party reimbursement programs represent the difference between the billings at established rates for services and amounts reimbursed by third-party payors. A summary of the basis of reimbursement with significant third-party payors follows:

Hospital: Medicare – Inpatient acute care services rendered to 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. Some transplantation services are paid based upon a cost reimbursement methodology. Outpatient services are paid based on a prospective payment system where services are classified into groups called Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APC). Services in each APC are similar clinically and in terms of the resources they require. The Hospital is paid for cost- reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final settlement determined after submission of an annual cost report by the Hospital and audit by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. As of June 30, 2014, the Hospital’s Medicare cost reports have been audited by the Medicare fiscal intermediary through June 30, 2010.

Medicaid – Inpatient and outpatient services rendered to Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed based upon a cost reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is paid at a tentative rate with final settlement determined after submission of an annual cost report by the Hospital and audits by the Medicaid audit contractor. The Hospital is required to pay the federal match for the difference in reimbursement between the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act inpatient rate and full cost. For outpatient services, the Hospital is required to pay the federal match for the difference reimbursed between the outpatient prospective rates and full cost. As of June 30, 2014, the Hospital’s Medicaid cost reports have been audited by the Medicaid audit contractor through June 30, 2010.

FGP and AHECs: Services rendered to both Medicare and Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed on prospectively determined rates per unit of service.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are 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 net adjustments to estimated settlements resulted in decreases of $1,264,000 and $589,500 to net patient services revenue for the years ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Management believes that UAMS is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

The Hospital, FGP, and AHECs have agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers and preferred provider organizations, which include prospectively determined rates per discharge, discounts from established charges, and prospectively determined per diem rates.

Note 4: Compensated Absences

Employees accrue and accumulate annual and sick leave in accordance with policies established by the Board of Trustees. The University accrues the dollar value of leave benefits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require accrual of salary-related payments directly and incrementally associated with compensated absences, such as employer’s share of social security taxes, as well as applicable salary expenses. These leave benefits are payable upon retirement, termination, or death of employees, up to the maximum allowed.

C-33 31

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

Full-time, non-classified employees accrue annual leave at the rate of fifteen hours per month and full- time classified employees accrue at a variable rate (from eight to fifteen hours per month) depending upon the number of years of employment in state government. Employees who are less than full-time, but are at least 50% time, accrue annual leave at prorated amounts. Under the University’s policy, an employee may carry accrued annual leave forward from one calendar year to another, up to a maximum of 240 hours (30 working days).

Classified employees who meet the conditions to be considered retirees at the time of termination of employment, are entitled to a partial payment of accumulated, unused sick leave in accordance with the provisions of Arkansas Code Annotated (A.C.A.) § 21-4-501. In accordance with A.C.A. § 21-4-505, which became effective in FY09, two-year institutions may, at their discretion, provide to non-classified employees the same compensation for accumulated unused sick leave provided to classified employees. The Code was amended in 2011 to allow the four-year institutions the same option. Three campuses have chosen to follow the policy for non-classified employees: CCCUA, UACCB and UACCM.

Sick leave for those identified in the previous paragraph can be paid as follows: An employee who has accumulated at least fifty (50) days, but less than sixty (60) days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s daily salary. An employee who has accumulated at least sixty (60) days, but less than seventy (70) days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times 60 percent (60%) of the employee’s daily salary. An employee who has accumulated at least seventy (70) days, but less than eighty (80) days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to seventy percent (70%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times seventy percent (70%) of the employee’s daily salary. An employee that has accumulated at least eighty (80) or more days of sick leave upon retirement shall receive an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the number of accrued sick leave days (rounded to the nearest day) times eighty percent (80%) of the employee’s daily salary. In no event shall an employee receive a sick leave incentive amount that exceeds $7,500.

Note 5: Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

A.C.A. §19-4-805 authorizes institutions of higher learning to determine the depositories and nature of investments of any of their cash funds which are not currently needed for operating purposes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash deposits are carried at cost. The following schedule reconciles the amount of deposits to the statement of net position at June 30, 2014:

Cash and Cash Equivalents +Cash deposits at year end $ 404,754,702 +cash held on deposit in state treasury 21,022,886 +cash equivalents 15,889,629 +cash on hand 76,190 + adjustment for deposits in transit within the system 136,109 -cash/cash equiv shown as deposits held in trust on Smts (195,399) TOTAL $ 441,684,117

Deposits are exposed to custodial risk if they are not covered by depository insurance (FDIC) and are uncollateralized. At June 30, 2014, none of the University’s bank balances were exposed to custodial credit risk.

Investments Investments are reported at fair value, which, for reporting purposes, is market value. The following is a summary of the University’s investments held at June 30, 2014:

Investment Type Fair Value Mutual & Money Market Funds $ 134,735,949 Corporate & Municipal Bonds 908,008 External Investment Pool 354,086,797 Certificate of Deposits 6,237,025 U.S. Treasury & Government Sponsored Agencies 10,051,263 Other 2,635,347 Sub-Total 508,654,389 -shown as cash/cash equiv on Stmt of Net Position (1,190,686) -shown as deposits held in trust on Stmt of Net Position (134,547,822) Investments as reported on Stmt of Net Position $ 372,915,881

The University is required under GASB Statement No. 40 to provide investment risk disclosures for all invested funds. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The following tables show these risks for the University’s funds outside the external investment pool.

External Investment Pool Effective June 30, 1997, the University of Arkansas adopted GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, which requires investments be carried at fair value and all changes in fair value be reported in revenue as a component of investment income. In 1997, the University of Arkansas and the University of Arkansas Foundation established an external investment pool. This arrangement commingles (pools) the moneys of more than one legally separate entity and invests, on the participants’ behalf, in an investment portfolio. During 1998, the Walton Arts Foundation joined the pool, and, during 2003, the Fayetteville Campus Foundation joined the pool. During 2007, the University of Arkansas Community College at Hope Foundation joined the pool. The Razorback Foundation joined the pool during 2012.

The governmental external investment pool is exempt from registration with the SEC. The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees and the University of Arkansas Foundation Board of Trustees are the sponsors of this investment pool and are responsible for operation and oversight for the pool. All participation in this investment pool is voluntary.

In January 2010, the University of Arkansas Investment Committee approved an agreement which delegated authority to the UA Foundation to manage University funds held in the Pool. The agreement included delegation of all responsibility for all investment guidelines and performance objectives for accounts within the Pool. The agreement also delegated to the UA Foundation authority for further delegation of portfolio implementation decisions to one or more investment managers. In January 2010, the UA Foundation entered into such an agreement with Cambridge Associates, LLC.

At June 30, 2014, five campuses and five foundations participated in the Pool, whose net assets totaled $1,678,520,789. The Pool was combined with 21.02% of the net assets owned by the University of Arkansas and external portions as follows: 47.26% by the University of Arkansas Foundation, 29.72% by the Fayetteville Campus Foundation, 0.74% by the Walton Arts Foundation, 0.11% by the University of Arkansas Community College at Hope Foundation, and 1.15% by the Razorback Foundation. The following tables contain information on the risk disclosure of the Pool.

Endowment Funds A.C.A. § 28-69-804 states, “Subject to the intent of a donor expressed in the gift instrument, an institution may appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as the institution determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established. Unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in an endowment fund are donor- restricted assets until appropriated for expenditure by the institution.

The University does not have a uniform policy addressing the authorization and spending of investment income. Such policies have been established at the applicable campuses and include spending rates averaged over a specified period and compliance with donor restrictions. The computation of net appreciation on investments of donor-restricted endowments that are available for expenditure at June 30, 2014, is as follows:

Total Endowment $ 152,120,923 Less: Funds treated as endowment (44,289,823) Non-expendable portion of endowment (65,775,604) Available for Expenditure $ 42,055,496

Note 6: Income Taxes

The University is tax exempt under the Internal Revenue Code except for tax on unrelated business income. The University had no significant unrelated business income for the year ended June 30, 2014. It is also exempt from state income taxes under Arkansas law. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements.

Note 7: Bonds, Notes, Capital Leases and Installment Contracts Payable

The retirement of some bond issues is secured by a specific pledge of certain gross revenues, surplus revenues and specific fees. Separate accounting is not required for these facilities under the provisions of the debt instruments; accordingly, segment reporting is not required for financial reporting purposes. A summary of long-term debt by campus is shown below. Total debt of $1,373,117,018 shown in these schedules, which is related to bonds, notes, capital leases and installment contracts, differs from the amount of $1,372,359,853 shown on the statement of net position. This is due to an elimination entry of $757,165 to account for a loan between UAMS and UAF (see Note 17).

Future Principal and Interest Payments Total long-term debt principal and interest payments are shown below. As required by GASB Statement No. 38, interest payments for variable rate debt have been calculated using the rate in effect at the financial statement date. Actual rates will vary.

Bond proceeds and premium (after payment of debt issuance costs of $77,612) and debt service reserve funds of $2,600,042 were deposited in the advance refunding fund to retire the 2008 bonds. Remaining debt service reserve funds of $7,224 and accrued interest of $2,652 were deposited in the debt service fund to be applied to subsequent interest payments. The advance refunding resulted in a difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt of $194,820. This difference, reported in the accompanying financial statements as deferred outflows of resources, will be amortized through fiscal year 2038 using the straight-line method. The University completed the refunding to reduce its total debt service payments over the next twenty-five years by $494,962 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the old and new debt service payments) of $244,080. The bonds were refunded on April 1, 2014, and the escrow balance at June 30, 2014, was $3,256.

The difference in additions to accumulated depreciation shown above and depreciation expense shown on the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position is $58,272, which is a prior year adjustment for holdings. An adjustment was made to the June 30, 2013, balances to correct for software incorrectly identified as Other by increasing Intangibles-Software by $19,721,000 and decreasing Other by the same amount. Likewise, the related accumulated depreciation of $19,316,000 was moved from Other to Intangibles-Software.

Note 11: Risk Management

The University of Arkansas Risk Management Program provides insurance coverage for all campuses within the University of Arkansas System with the exception of the Fort Smith campus. The role of the System Office is to analyze and recommend insurance coverage, but it is ultimately up to each campus to inform the System Office regarding their specific coverage requirements.

Property coverage is insured through FM Global with a $100,000 deductible at the Fayetteville, Medical Sciences, and Little Rock campuses. The other covered campuses have a $50,000 deductible. The FM Global policy also contains earthquake/flood and domestic/foreign terrorism coverage. Additionally, the Fayetteville, Medical Sciences, Phillips, and Morrilton campuses have business interruption coverage with FM Global.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

Auto coverage, through Cypress Insurance, has a physical damage deductible of $1,000 and provides coverage against liability losses up to $1,000,000 per occurrence.

The Medical Sciences campus maintains malpractice insurance for certain employees under a claims- made policy. The Fort Smith campus acquires its own property insurance through Alliant Property Insurance ($25,000 deductible) and auto insurance through Cypress Insurance ($5,000 deductible).

The University does not purchase general liability, errors or admissions, or tort immunity for claims arising from third-party losses on University property as the University of Arkansas has sovereign immunity against such claims. Claims against the University for such losses are heard before the State Claims Commission. In such cases where the University enters into a lease agreement to hold a function at a location not owned by the University or for special events both on- and off-campus, general liability coverage may be purchased for such functions.

The University maintains worker’s compensation coverage through the State of Arkansas program. Premiums are paid through payroll and are based on a formula calculated by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. The types of benefits and expenditures that are paid include the following: medical expenses, hospital expenses, death benefits, disability and claimant’s attorney fees.

Additionally, the University participates in the State of Arkansas Fidelity Bond Program for claims of employee dishonesty. This program has a limit of $250,000 recovery per occurrence with a $2,500 deductible. Premiums are paid annually via a fund transfer from state appropriations to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.

There have been no reductions in insurance coverage from the prior fiscal year. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

Note 12: Employee Benefits

Insurance Plans The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas System sponsors self-funded health (including prescription coverage) and dental benefit plans for University of Arkansas System (the University) employees and their eligible dependents. The System Administration manages and administers these plans. Participation in the health and dental plans includes employees of the Fayetteville, Batesville, Little Rock, Monticello, Morrilton, Pine Bluff, and Medical Sciences campuses, the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts, the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc., the University of Arkansas Winthrop Rockefeller Institute, and the University of Arkansas System Administration. Employees at the Phillips County and Cossatot campuses participate only in the health plan.

At June 30, 2014, a total of 16,275 active employees, former employees, and pre-65 retirees were participants in the health plan. As of June 30, 2014, the University offers two different health plans: Classic (HMO) and Point of Service (POS). Participating campuses pay anywhere from 46% to 100% of the Classic Plan premium and 29% to 90% of the Point of Service Plan premium. Each campus makes its contribution determination based on budget considerations. Retirees and former employees, through COBRA, participate on a fully contributory basis. A total of 16,780 active employees, former employees, and retirees were participants in the dental plan as of June 30, 2014. The University pays 0% to 51% of the total premium for full-time active employees, while retirees and former employees, through COBRA, participate on a fully contributory basis.

Both plans are accounted for on the accrual basis. No acquisition costs were capitalized at the onset of the plan. The System Administration estimates the medical and pharmacy claims liability to be $14,030,000 at June 30, 2014. This liability is established for incurred but not paid (IBNP) claims, and includes a related accrual for claim adjustment expenses, which are expenses incurred in the ultimate

C-55 53

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14 settlement of the claim. The claims and claims adjustment accrual for health and pharmacy is based on the calculation prepared by Aon Hewitt.

The System Administration estimates the dental claims liability to be $494,000 at June 30, 2014. This liability is established for incurred but not paid (IBNP) claims. The IBNP claims liability includes a related accrual for claim adjustment expenses, which are expenses incurred in the ultimate settlement of the claim. The claims and claims adjustment accrual for dental is based on the calculation prepared by Aon Hewitt.

The System Administration purchases specific reinsurance from United Healthcare-BP to reduce its exposure to large claims. In a fiscal year, after paying claims of more than $1,000,000 for any one covered individual, the University pays an aggregating specific deductible of $75,000, whether from one or more covered individuals also exceeding $1,000,000 in paid claims, before being reimbursed from the reinsurance company.

The plan has not purchased any annuity contracts on behalf of claimants. If needed, the University would make arrangements through its reinsurance carrier.

The funding levels for the Plan were established based upon anticipated year-end loss ratios of 95%. As of June 30, 2014, the loss ratio for the health plan was 103% and the loss ratio for the dental plan was 92%.

The System Administration retains and accounts for all of the risk financing associated with the self- insurance plan’s activities as defined by GASB Statement No. 10, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Risk Financing and Related Insurance Issues.

Effective January 1, 2014, the plan for Medicare eligible retirees was changed to a fully insured Medicare Advantage program. Retirees pay 100% of the fully insured premium directly to United Healthcare.

The Hope campus participates in the Arkansas Higher Education Consortium Benefits Trust (the Consortium). The Consortium provides health and dental insurance to all employees, retirees, and eligible dependents for eleven two-year colleges. The Consortium is managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of one member from each participating institution appointed by the president or chancellor from that institution. A bank trust, qualified pursuant to section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, was established by the Consortium to hold assets. The health plan is a self-funding arrangement that requires participating colleges to make monthly contributions per participant based on premium rates determined by underwriters. Each participating institution determines the contribution amounts paid by the individual participant and the institution. The dental plan is a fully insured plan. At June 30, 2014, there were a total of 1,589 active employees and retirees participating in the health plan, 128 of which are from the Hope campus.

The University of Arkansas Fort Smith Employee Benefit Plan provides health, dental and vision benefits covering substantially all full-time employees of the Fort Smith campus. The Plan provides health, dental and wellness benefits to eligible employees and their eligible dependents. The Plan is funded by contributions made by the campus and participants. A total of 530 active employees and retirees were participants in the plan as of June 30, 2014.

Retirement Plans Substantially all employees of the University participate in either the Optional Retirement Program (ORP), which includes Teachers Insurance Annuity Association – College Retirements Equities Fund (TIAA- CREF) and Fidelity Investments, or the Arkansas Public Employee Retirement System (APERS). The Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS) is available only to employees who come to work for the University that have a previous record with ATRS. APERS and ATRS are both defined benefit plans.

The ORP is a defined contribution plan. The plan includes both a 403(b) program and a 457(b) program as defined by the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986 as amended. The authority under which the Plan’s benefit provisions are established or amended is the President of the University or his designee. Contributions to Fidelity Investments shall be applied either to individual annuities issued under a Metropolitan Life Guaranteed Account and/or one or more mutual fund custodian accounts managed by Fidelity Investments. Contributions to TIAA-CREF can be allocated among their various annuity accounts. Arkansas Code Annotated authorizes participation in the plan.

Participants in the University’s plan can choose to be contributory or non-contributory. The University automatically contributes 5% of an employee’s regular salary to TIAA-CREF and/or Fidelity Investments retirement account, allocated between the two companies according to the employee’s choice. For any contributions an employee makes in excess of 5% regular salary, the University makes an equal contribution, with a maximum total University contribution of 10% of regular salary up to the IRS match limit, which at June 30, 2014, was $26,000. Employee contributions in excess of 10% are allowed by the plans in accordance with Internal Revenue Service regulations, but the University does not match these additional contributions. All benefits attributable to plan contributions made by both the University and the participant are immediately vested in the participant for all faculty members and non-classified employees and all classified employees whose initial employment occurred prior to January 1, 1985, and who made any plan contributions prior to that date. For all employees other than those described previously, vesting of benefits attributable to plan contributions made by the University shall occur on the earlier of completion of three years of service, or attainment of age 65, or the participant’s having made plan contributions of at least five percent of regular salary for six consecutive months. The University’s TIAA/CREF and Fidelity contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $86,043,388, $83,679,635, and $81,473,876, respectively. The participants’ contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $83,950,302, $88,548,653, and $84,823,284, respectively.

APERS is a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of Arkansas. The University’s required contribution rate was 14.88%, 14.24%, and 13.47% in fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Those employees hired after July 1, 2005, must be contributory unless they had prior service as a state employee. Employees hired before that date may be contributory. The University’s contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012, were $3,810,297,

C-57 55

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

$3,121,872, and $2,542,509, respectively. Participants’ contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $968,607, $713,717, and $550,003, respectively. The annual required contribution amounts and the percentage contributed are determined by the annual actuarial valuation as set forth in Arkansas Code. APERS issues a publicly available financial report, which may be obtained by writing: APERS, One Union National Plaza, 124 W. Capitol, 5th Floor, Little Rock, AR 72201.

ATRS is a cost-sharing multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. The University contributes 14% of all covered employees’ salaries. Under certain conditions, covered employees may voluntarily contribute 6% of their salary. The University’s contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $1,766,339, $1,904,468, and $2,101,611, respectively. Participants’ contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $562,095, $592,873, and $651,208, respectively. The annual required contribution amounts and the percentage contributed are determined by the annual actuarial valuation as set forth in Arkansas Code. ATRS issues a publicly available financial report, which may be obtained by writing: ATRS, 1400 W. 3rd Street, Little Rock, AR 72201.

Cooperative Extension Service employees who hold accepted appointments with the U.S. Department of Agriculture are covered by one of the above plans depending on when employment began. Employees employed prior to January 1, 1984, are on the Civil Service Retirement System. This system requires an employee contribution of 7% and the University contributes 8.51%. Employees hired between January 1, 1984, and July 31, 1987, are either on the Civil Service Offset or the Federal Employees Retirement System, depending on their length of prior federal service. Both systems require an employee contribution of 0.80%. The Civil Service Offset requires matching of 8.51% and the Federal Employees Retirement system requires agency matching of 10.7%. Employees on Civil Service participate in TIAA- CREF and Fidelity. The Thrift Savings Plan is another retirement savings and investment plan for Federal employees at the UA Cooperative Extension Service. It is a defined contribution plan and its purpose is to provide retirement income for Federal employees similar to that provided employees covered under the Civil Service Retirement System but without employer matching. Employees covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System receive a mandatory 1% employer contribution. The University’s contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 for both the Civil Service Retirement System and the Thrift Savings Plan were $389,536, $412,107, and $429,643, respectively. The participants’ contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $286,785, $311,116, and $322,556, respectively.

The University of Arkansas community colleges offer APERS, ATRS, and their own ORP which is a 403(b) plan. With the exception of PCCUA, which follows the standard 5% up to 10% match, contributions by the institutions range from 10% to 14% of earnings and employees have a mandatory contribution of 6% and, within the IRS guidelines, may elect to contribute more. Contributions can be made to TIAA-CREF, American Fidelity or VALIC. The University’s VALIC contributions for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $1,557,024, $1,495,630, and $1,499,414, respectively. The participants’ contributions to VALIC for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $1,128,624, $1,082,240, and $1,134,115, respectively. The participants’ contributions to American Fidelity for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $2,655, $3,000, and $3,845, respectively.

The University has, from time to time, negotiated voluntary early retirement agreements with faculty and staff which may include the provision of a stipend and healthcare or other benefits for future periods. The amount of liability established for these type agreements was $3,675,100 and $2,874,611 at June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 13: Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) The University offers postemployment health (including prescription drugs) and dental benefits, along with life insurance ($10,000 available coverage), to eligible retirees. Health and dental benefits are provided in the University’s self-funded plan sponsored by the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas System for current and pre-65 retired employees of the Fayetteville (UAF), Little Rock (UALR), Medical

Sciences (UAMS), Monticello (UAM), Pine Bluff (UAPB), Cossatot (CCCUA), Phillips (PCCUA), Batesville (UACCB), and Morrilton (UACCM) campuses, the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA), and the University of Arkansas System Administration (SYSTEM). The plan is considered a single-employer, defined benefit plan. The System Administration manages and administers the plan. Although benefits are also provided under the University’s plan for the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. and the University of Arkansas Winthrop Rockefeller Institute, no postemployment benefit is accrued by the University for these private entities. Financial activities of the plan are reported in the University of Arkansas consolidated financial report.

The Cossatot and Morrilton campuses joined the University’s plan in January 2014, having previously been a part of the Arkansas Higher Education Consortium Benefits Trust. The Cossatot campus continues to provide dental insurance thru Delta Dental. Because these campuses were not part of the University’s self-funded plan on the census date, the liability for these campuses was calculated on the same basis as previous years.

Health benefits continue to be provided for current and retired employees of the Hope (UACCH) campus through the Arkansas Higher Education Consortium Benefits Trust, which is considered an agent multiple-employer, defined benefit plan. Complete financial statements for the Trust can be obtained from Mr. Jerald Barber, P O Box 140, Hope, AR 71802.

The Fort Smith (UAFS) campus provides health and dental benefits for current and retired employees through the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith Benefit Plan, which is considered a single-employer, defined benefit plan. A summary of the Plan’s audited financial statements is included in Note 14, Other Organizations.

In June 2004, the GASB issued Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, which became effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. This statement requires governmental entities to recognize and match other postretirement benefit costs with related services received and also to provide information regarding the actuarially calculated liability and funding level of the benefits associated with past services. The calculation reflects expected future medical costs. It includes an accrual for all active employees by valuing the benefits they are anticipated to receive in retirement based on the likelihood that they will stay employed until eligible for postretirement benefits. As a result of the implementation of this statement, the University accrued $49,993,475 in retiree healthcare liability as of June 30, 2014.

Retirees pay 100% of premiums for all campuses with the exception that UACCM will pay the premium for those employees retiring on or after age 62 with at least 20 years of service. Employer costs are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis for all campuses. Retirees qualify for postretirement benefits as follows:

UAF, UALR, UAM, UAMS, UAPB, PCCUA, UACCB, ASMSA, and SYSTEM: Employees must have a combination of age and years of service of at least 70 with at least 10 years of coverage under the plan. Retirees may cover spouses and eligible dependent children. Surviving spouses can continue coverage after retiree’s death. Effective January 1, 2014, the plan for Medicare eligible retirees was changed to a fully insured Medicare Advantage program, and therefore, these retirees are no longer a part of the self-funded plan.

UAFS: Employees must be at least age 55 and have at least 10 years of service.

CCCUA: Employees must be at least age 60 and have at least 5 years of service.

UACCH: Employees must have at least 10 years of service.

UACCM: Employees must be at least age 60 and have at least 10 years of service.

Summary of Key Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

University Self-Funded Plan: Valuation date July 1, 2013; Census data collected as of November 1, 2012 Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit Amortization method 30 years open, level % of payroll Asset valuation method N/A Discount rate 4.5% Projected payroll growth rate 4.0% Medical inflation rate Immediate rate of 7.5% with an ultimate rate of 4.5%

UAFS, CCCUA, UACCH, UACCM: Valuation date July 1, 2013; Census data collected as of July 1, 2013 Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit Amortization method 30 years open, level dollar amortization Asset valuation method N/A Discount rate 4.75% Medical inflation rate Immediate rate of 10.0% with an ultimate rate of 5.0%

General Overview of the Valuation Methodology The process of determining the liability for retiree medical benefits is based on many assumptions about future events. Future increases in health care costs are affected by many factors, including: medical inflation; change in utilization patterns; technological advances; cost shifting; cost leveraging; and changes to government medical programs, such as Medicare.

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, and actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. Calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of each plan at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that point.

Changes in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods since the Prior Valuation: (1) University’s self-funded plan: The healthcare trend rate assumption was changed to better reflect anticipated future experience. This change decreased the Actuarial Accrued Liability by $2,059,046 as of July 1, 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, the plan for Medicare eligible retirees was changed to a fully insured Medicare Advantage program. Retirees pay 100% of the fully insured premium directly to United Healthcare. As a result, no liabilities for Medicare eligible retiree medical benefits are included in the valuation. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires changes in the out-of-pocket limit to count medical copays towards satisfying the limit in 2014 and to count prescription drug out-of-pocket costs towards satisfying the limit in 2015. ACA also imposes an excise tax on high cost plans beginning in 2018. The effects of these changes in ACA have been reflected in the valuation. (2) Remaining four campuses: The assumed discount rate was lowered from 5.25% to 4.75%. This change increased the Actuarial Accrued Liability at July 1, 2013, by: $39,166 for UAFS, $3,192 for CCCUA, $5,019 for UACCH, and $16,336 for UACCM.

Medical Coverage – Retirees not Eligible for Medicare -- for the University’s self-funded plan: Claim experience for the period February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2014, was used to develop the claims cost for non-Medicare-eligible retirees. The paid claims data was converted to an incurred basis using a completion factor approach. This experience includes 987 life years of exposure and was deemed to be 70% credible. The experience was combined with the active claims experience adjusted for demographic differences to produce the per capita claims costs used in the valuation. Adjustment factors were then

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14 applied to develop expected claims by age to be used in the valuation. Expected retiree premiums were developed to represent the expected cost sharing level anticipated by the University. Retiree premiums were also age-adjusted for use in the valuation.

Dental Coverage for the University’s self-funded plan: Dental claims coverage for the period February 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014, was used to develop per capita claims cost for dental coverage. The claims experience includes over 35,000 life years of exposure and was deemed to be fully credible. Based on this analysis, it was concluded that the retiree contributions are sufficient to fully cover the expected dental claims costs as intended. As such, the cost for dental coverage is excluded from this valuation.

Delta Student Housing, Inc. (Delta) is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated under the Arkansas Nonprofit Corporation Act of 1993. Delta was created for the purpose of facilitating the financing for construction of student housing facilities on the various campuses of the University. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA) received $6,000,000 in American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funds through the State of Arkansas and $1,000,000 from state general improvement funds to be used toward the construction of a new residence/student life facility. In addition, ASMSA had almost $4,000,000 of reserve funds to be used for the project. By leveraging these available funds, a financing structure was developed using federal New Market Tax Credits (NMTC) which made available almost $15,000,000 to construct the facility. Construction of the facility was completed in the summer of 2012. The facility will be owned and managed by Delta until the completion of the NMTC compliance period of seven years, at which time the facility will be donated to ASMSA. A complete transcript of the NMTC transaction can be obtained in the office of the University’s Vice President of Finance.

The University has been named as defendant in several lawsuits. It is the opinion of management and its legal counsel that these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the future operations or financial position of the University.

In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (the Authority) issued $36,775,000 in Tobacco Settlement Revenue Bonds. The Authority made the proceeds of the bonds available to the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees (UA Board) to fund an expansion to the Arkansas Cancer Research Center (ACRC) on the campus of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). The bonds have an approximate yield to maturity of 4.77% to 5.10% and principal and accumulated interest are payable beginning in 2021 through 2031 for $22,158,000 of serial bonds and beginning in 2036 through 2046 for $14,617,000 of term bonds. Funds received from the Arkansas Tobacco Settlement Funds Act of 2000 are pledged for debt service and are the primary source of payment for the bonds. In accordance with a Loan Agreement dated June 1, 2006, between the UA Board and the Authority, the UA Board will be required to make debt service payments on the Series 2006 bond issue in the event of a shortfall in tobacco settlement revenues. However, no such payments will be made unless the debt service revenues are insufficient to make such payments. Management believes the debt service revenues will be sufficient to service the entire principal and interest due. The Global Insights USA, Inc. report, prepared in August 2006, on the Forecast of U.S. Cigarette Consumption (2004-2046) indicates that tobacco consumption in 2046 is expected to decline by 54% from the 2003 level. For fiscal year 2003, Arkansas received $60,067,457 from the Tobacco Settlement Fund. Using the 54% decline from above, Arkansas should receive approximately $27.6 million in 2046 with the first $5 million dedicated to pay the debt service on this bond issue. If debt service revenues had been considered insufficient at June 30, 2014, the University would have incurred a liability of $54,551,000 related to issue. This amount includes draw down of funds related to the project, issuance costs, discounts, accreted interest, and other expenses related to the issue. The revenues pledged by UAMS to secure the Loan Agreement consist of inpatient service fees and fees collected from other ancillary, therapeutic, and diagnostic services provided within the walls of the hospital but exclude physician-generated revenues, state appropriations, and revenues restricted for other purposes.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

Note 17: Elimination of Inter-Company Transactions

The consolidated financial statements were prepared from financial statements submitted by each campus and the System Administration of the University. The inclusion of inter-company transactions in the consolidated financial statements is not considered materially significant to distort the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements with the following exceptions, which were eliminated.

Statement of Net Position An elimination entry was made to reduce accounts receivable by $12,378,133 and $14,119,417 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively, which represent amounts owed by the campuses to the System Administration for insurance premiums and campus billings for services rendered, as well as amounts owed between campuses. Accounts payable was reduced by $12,242,024 and $12,901,437 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively. Cash was increased by $136,109 and $1,217,980 in fiscal years ending June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, to account for payments in-transit within the system.

Two loans between University entities were eliminated to reduce assets and liabilities as follows: (1) $1,050,000 (current portion $150,000) and $1,200,000 (current portion $150,000) for the years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively, to reflect a loan to ASMSA by the System Administration; and (2) $757,165 (current portion $19,580) and $772,664 (current portion $15,499) to reflect a loan from UAMS to UAF for the years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position As explained in Note 12, the System Administration administers the self-funded insurance programs for the University. Insurance premiums remitted to the System Administration by the campuses are shown as insurance revenues, and insurance claims paid are shown as insurance expenditures on the System Administration’s financial statements. The premiums expensed by the campuses are recorded as part of compensation benefits. An elimination entry was made to reduce insurance revenue and compensation/benefits expenditures in the amounts of $105,655,053 and $103,455,733 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively.

An elimination entry was made for billings by System Administration to the campuses for services rendered to reduce sales and services revenue and supplies/services expense in the amounts of $2,557,679 and $1,839,897 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively.

An elimination entry was made for a federal grant received by UAMS and then sub-granted to UAF in the amount of $90,502 used for operating expenses and $1,938,175 capitalized for construction/equipment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, and $196,162 used for operating expenses and $10,418,692 capitalized for construction/equipment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

An elimination entry for services provided among campuses in the amount of $681,282 and $314,800 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively. These amounts decreased both other operating revenues and operating supplies/services.

Statement of Cash Flows The effects of the elimination entries described above to the statement of net position and the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position are also reflected in the statement of cash flows.

Note 19: Joint Endeavor

The University of Arkansas and the City of Fayetteville engaged in a joint endeavor to operate the Walton Arts Center. Funds were pooled from each entity to provide for the construction and operation of the center. To administer this project and its funds, the University and the City of Fayetteville established a nonprofit organization called the University of Arkansas/City of Fayetteville Arts Foundation, Inc., now called the Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc., which was incorporated on January 19, 1987. There are nine directors, of whom three are appointed by the University, three by the City of Fayetteville, and three are recommended by the Foundation who must be approved by the mayor and chancellor (see Note 22).

The Walton Arts Center Council, Inc. was formed to construct, operate, manage, and maintain the Arts Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in accordance with the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between the City of Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas. The ownership of the Arts Center facilities, including land, is held equally by the City and the University. The Arts Center Council must submit an annual budget to both the City and the University for approval. The Board of Trustees of The Arts Center Council is comprised of five members appointed by the University, five members appointed by the City, and ten members appointed at large, all of whom serve as volunteers.

On July 16, 2010, the Arts Center Council filed articles of incorporation for NWA Entertainment, LLC (“NWA”) for the purpose of acquiring certain assets of the Arkansas Music Pavilion, Inc. and for the purpose of operating, managing, and maintaining assets related to the promotion and presentation of the arts in Northwest Arkansas. NWA is a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the Council and has a fiscal year end of March 31. The results of the operations of NWA have been included in the combined financial statements of the Walton Arts Center.

Note 21: Prior Year Restatements

Statement of Net Position The statement of net position contained the following restatements for the year ended June 30, 2013, to reflect implementation of GASB Statement No. 65 as discussed in Note 1:

 Unamortized current and non-current debt issuance costs totaling $401,931 and $8,610,510, respectively, were expensed and no longer recognized as an asset.  Scholarships awarded in the amount of $224,991 that apply to a future term were reclassified from current other assets to a deferred outflow of resources. Funding for these scholarships previously recognized as revenue was reclassified as a deferred inflow of resources. Because the deferred outflow and inflow were for the same type of transaction and were the same amount, they were netted and do not appear on the face of the statement. Net position restricted for scholarships was reduced $224,991.  Deferral on debt refunding in the amount of $15,849,994, previously reported as a component of bonds, notes, capital leases, and installment contracts, was reclassified as deferred outflows of resources. Likewise, current and non-current bonds, notes, capital leases, and installment contracts were increased $987,739 and $14,862,255, respectively. This had no effect on net position.  Current and non-current bonds, notes, capital leases, and installment contracts were increased $3,586 and $81,042, respectively, to account for debt issuance costs previously reported as a reduction of debt.

Due to rounding, current accounts payable was increased by $1.

The net effect of these restatements was a decrease to total net position of $9,322,061.

C-77 75

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14

Other restatements not having an effect on net position were:  Current investments in the amount of $72,117 were reclassified as other current assets.  Unamortized non-current debt issuance costs totaling $167,797 were reclassified as other non- current assets.  The notation for allowances for patient accounts receivable was increased by $43,078,000 to correct prior year error. Net patient accounts receivable did not change.  Current accounts payable in the amount of $244,000 was reclassified as non-current unearned revenue.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position Changes made on the statement of net position as discussed above were also reflected in the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.

Net position – beginning of year was reduced $7,450,394 to reflect the fiscal year 2012 deferred inflow of $271,245 for scholarship funding, $7,091,211 for unamortized bond issuance costs, and a correction of $87,938.

Gift revenue increased $46,254, reflecting the change in deferred inflows of resources for scholarships awarded for a future period.

Interest on capital asset-related debt decreased $138,082 to reflect corrections.

Adjustment was made to elimination entries to correctly reflect exchanges between campuses that resulted in decreases to both other operating revenues and supplies/services in the amount of $314,800. This had no effect on net position.

Adjustment was made to increase auxiliary (bookstore) revenue $49,424 and decrease auxiliary (other) by the same amount. This had no effect on net position.

Other non-operating revenues (expenses) decreased $2,056,003, of which $1,921,230 was for bond issuance costs, previously shown as unamortized bond issuance costs, and $134,773 for corrections.

The net effect of these restatements was a decrease to total net position of $9,322,061.

Statement of Cash Flows Gifts and grants for other than capital purposes were reclassified as capital grants and gifts in the amount of $2,824,000.

Cash flows from bookstore operations increased $48,053 and cash flows from other auxiliary enterprises decreased by the same amount.

Payments to suppliers in the amount of $314,800 were reclassified to other operating cash flows.

Note 22: Subsequent Events

On August 14, 2014, the governing documents establishing and defining the joint endeavor between the City of Fayetteville and the Fayetteville campus to operate the Walton Arts Center were revised to ensure clarity and flexibility to allow the Walton Arts Center to meet the arts and entertainment needs of all residents of Northwest Arkansas with a multi-venue system, while at the same time confirming support of the original partnership. Revisions were made to the respective Articles of Incorporation of the Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc. and the Walton Arts Center Council, Inc. to clarify the purpose of each entity to encompass multiple venues in the Northwest Arkansas region; to allow the Walton Family Foundation to appoint nine additional directors to the Board of Directors of the Arts Center Council while ensuring that

76 C-78

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Footnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements FY14 the City and University maintain their proportionate number of Directors on the Board; to return the City of Fayetteville’s initial payment of $1.5 million dollars to the Foundation back to the City for the City’s use in the construction of a parking facility adjacent to the Walton Arts Center or as otherwise determined by the Fayetteville City Council; and with consent by the University to expend the institution’s initial payment of $1.5 million dollars to the Foundation to help defray the construction costs of the proposed enlargement and enhancement of the Walton Arts Center located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Upon return of the funds to the City and the use of University provided funds for construction, the Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc. will no longer be an agent for the City of Fayetteville or the University of Arkansas. The City and the University will no longer have the right of appointment of Walton Arts Center Foundation, Inc. directors. An Amended and Restated Interlocal Cooperation Agreement was also executed that permits the Walton Arts Center to conduct business as a separate, free-standing non-profit corporation; that budget and operational oversight rests exclusively with the Walton Arts Center Council and confirms the Walton Arts Center is no longer and agent of the University or the City, nor restricted to the terms of the original agreement; and affirms the Walton Arts Center must comply with the terms of a new lease agreement executed by the University, City of Fayetteville and the Walton Arts Center Council. The lease agreement extends the term to twenty-five years and recognizes the changed scope of the Walton Arts Center. The lease also provides assurances regarding the on-going quality and type of performances at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.

On October 17, 2014, the Board of Trustees authorized the issuance of up to $99,500,000 in facilities revenue refunding bonds for the Medical Sciences campus for the purpose of refunding the Series 2006 Various Facility Revenue Bonds. It is expected that the bonds will be sold in December, 2014.

General Overview of the Valuation Methodology

The process of determining the liability for retiree medical benefits is based on many assumptions about future events. Future increases in health care costs are affected by many factors, including: medical inflation; change in utilization patterns; technological advances; cost shifting; cost leveraging; and changes to government medical programs, such as Medicare.

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, and actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. Calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of each plan at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that point.

Changes in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods since the Prior Valuation: (1) University’s self- funded plan: The healthcare trend rate assumption was changed to better reflect anticipated future experience. This change decreased the Actuarial Accrued Liability by $2,059,046 as of July 1, 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, the plan for Medicare eligible retirees was changed to a fully insured Medicare Advantage program. Retirees pay 100% of the fully insured premium directly to United Healthcare. As a result, no liabilities for Medicare eligible retiree medical benefits are included in the valuation. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires changes in the out- of-pocket limit to count medical copays towards satisfying the limit in 2014 and to count prescription drug out-of-pocket costs towards satisfying the limit in 2015. ACA also imposes an excise tax on high cost plans beginning in 2018. The effects of these changes in ACA have been reflected in the valuation. (2) Remaining four campuses: The assumed discount rate was lowered from 5.25% to 4.75%. This change increased the Actuarial Accrued Liability at July 1, 2013 by: $39,166 for UAFS, $3,192 for CCCUA, $5,019 for UACCH, and $16,336 for UACCM.

Medical Coverage – Retirees not Eligible for Medicare -- for the University’s self-funded plan: Claim experience for the period February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2014, was used to develop the claims cost for non-Medicare-eligible retirees. The paid claims data was converted to an incurred basis using a completion factor approach. This experience includes 987 life years of exposure and was deemed to be 70% credible. The experience was combined with the active claims experience adjusted for demographic differences to produce the per capita claims costs used in the valuation. Adjustment factors were then applied to develop expected claims by age to be used in the valuation. Expected retiree premiums were developed to represent the expected cost sharing level anticipated by the University. Retiree premiums were also age-adjusted for use in the valuation.

Dental Coverage for the University’s self-funded plan: Dental claims coverage for the period February 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014, was used to develop per capita claims cost for dental coverage. The claims experience includes over 35,000 life years of exposure and was deemed to be fully credible. Based on this analysis, it was concluded that the retiree contributions are sufficient to fully cover the expected dental claims costs as intended. As such, the cost for dental coverage is excluded from this valuation.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM: Supplemental Information – Points of Pride

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE

Established: 1871 Enrollment: 26,237 www.uark.edu

AT A GLANCE

Founded in 1871, the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, is the flagship institution of the University of Arkansas System. It is the state’s foremost partner, resource and catalyst for education and economic development.

As Arkansas’s land-grant university, the Fayetteville campus has a mandate to teach, conduct research and perform outreach. The university offers more than 200 baccalaureate, master’s, doctoral, professional and specialist degree programs through its ten schools and colleges. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching places the Fayetteville campus in its highest category for research activity, a classification shared by only 2 percent of universities nationwide. Research expenditures at the university now exceed $120 million per year, making research activity a significant academic element at the university and an economic engine for the state. By 2021, the university aspires to be recognized as one of the nation’s top 50 public research universities, with nationally ranked departments and programs throughout the institution.

When there is a need for auditorium space, the school accesses the Clinton Library, the Statehouse Convention Center or the Ron Robinson Theater--all of which are in walking distance. Thus, the school maximizes space already available and supports the local economy.  The school's curriculum is enhanced with a national and international speaker series (www.clintonschoolspeakers.com) which brings in leaders and scholars from the arts, business, education, government, international development, nonprofits, philanthropy and public service. These are free and open to the public and by the end of 2014 the school will have hosted well over 900 programs. The speakers have included 39 ambassadors; 21 Pulitzer Prize recipients; and 7 Nobel Prize winners.

DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE

Established: 1959 www.division.uaex.edu

AT A GLANCE

The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is the statewide research and extension agency serving Arkansas agriculture, communities, families and youth. The mission of the division is to discover new knowledge, incorporate it into practical applications, and assist Arkansans in its application. With a presence in all 75 counties, the division is comprised of two principal units: the Agriculture Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service. Division faculty and facilities are located on five university campuses, at five regional research and extension centers, eight branch stations and other locations. An extension office is located in each county in cooperation with county governments.

The community of Arkansas agriculture affects about 270,000 people whose jobs directly or indirectly depend on agriculture, including the forestry sector. The $10.1 billion they receive in wages is more than 15 percent of the state’s total labor income. Agriculture accounts for more than $17 billion of value added to the state’s economy, not counting retail food purchased.

POINTS OF PRIDE

 Despite a soaking start to the 2013 growing season, the Division of Agriculture assisted Arkansas farmers set yield records in corn, cotton, soybeans and rice, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service.  The Division of Agriculture earned patents in a variety of research programs by personnel in food science; biological and agricultural engineering; poultry science; crop, soil, and environmental sciences and the Rice Research and Extension Center, contributing to the University of Arkansas System’s rank of 48th among the world’s top 100 universities for the number of U.S. utility patents received in 2012.  The Division is partnering with Riceland Foods of Stuttgart for research aimed at commercializing technology to produce soy oil rich in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has health benefits that can reduce diseases such as cancer, heart disease and type-2 diabetes. One of the research project’s objectives is to evaluate the quality of products based in CLA-rich soy oil for their potential use in salad oils, shortenings and margarine and as a substitute for partially hydrogenated oils, which are a source of trans fat.  Volunteers are an extremely important component of delivering Extension programs, particularly in 4-H, Extension Homemakers and Master Gardeners. In 2013, over 36,790 volunteers donated more than 2.86 million hours with a total value to the state of $64.9 million.  The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service joined its siblings around the country in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Smith-Lever Act. County offices around the state held public celebrations to mark the May 8 signing. A Twitter campaign called “A Day in the Life of Extension,” featuring agents from around the state in action every hour of the day, had more than 12,500 views.  The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service recorded more than 1.2 million contacts in 2013, with more than a half-million of those being with children an d youth. Work through nutrition programs reached more than 272,000 and extension faculty and staff had contact with more than 257,000 farmers, producers and consultants in support of its educational mission.  The Cooperative Extension Service marked its centennial in 2014, with county-based celebrations, proclamations and social media campaigns.

ARKANSAS ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Established: 1967 www.uark.edu/campus-resources/archinfo/

AT A GLANCE

The mission of the Arkansas Archeological Survey (AAE) is to study and protect the 13,000-year archeological heritage of Arkansas, to preserve and manage information and collections from archeological sites and to communicate what is learned to the people of the state. The survey has 11 research stations across the state, each with a full-time Ph.D. archeologist associated with regional higher education institutions and state parks. The archeologists conduct research, assist other state and federal agencies to help promote the economic importance of the state’s heritage resources, and are available to local officials, amateur archeologists, landowners, educators and students in need of information about archeology or archeological sites.

POINTS OF PRIDE

 Many research projects are funded by grants and cost-share agreements with state and federal agencies, including the Arkansas Humanities Council, the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Park Service. This research enables AAE to provide training for university students, educational enrichment opportunities for educators and for the public, collaboration with American Indian Tribes, and assistance to Arkansas communities and institutions.  Current archeological research includes a collaborative project with the Caddo, Osage, and Quapaw tribes, funded by a major "We the People" grant from NEH, to investigate 17th century American Indian communities in central Arkansas. Assisted by an international team of scholars and with support from Arkansas State Parks, cutting-edge geophysical technologies are being used to investigate mound and plaza areas at Toltec Mounds to provide interpretive information for Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park. Ongoing investigations at the Parkin site, visited in 1541 by Hernando DeSoto, are providing new information for interpretive programs at Parkin Archeological State Park. Investigations at Camp Monticello, a World War II Italian prisoner-of- war camp, and at the 19th century Hollywood Plantation are contributing to University of Arkansas at Monticello efforts to develop a historic sites trail to promote educational tourism in southeast Arkansas. With support from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, AAE rescued information from an important prehistoric habitation site undergoing erosion near Blue Mountain Lake. Excavations conducted at another large prehistoric and contact era site in Montgomery County provided training for hundreds of students and Arkansas Archeological Society volunteers and helped the Ouachita National Forest achieve important cultural resource management goals. A new cooperative agreement with the National Park Service kicked off a multi-year program to integrate and expand upon more than a century’s worth of investigations at sites near the Arkansas Post National Memorial, representing early colonial era Quapaw Indian interaction with French colonists. The Survey also received a large grant from the National Park Service to complete its inventory and repatriation of archeological collections subject to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.  Students and teachers across Arkansas use the Survey’s educational websites to learn about the state’s prehistoric and historic cultural heritage. Each year, nearly 250,000 individuals access these resources. The Survey’s newest website offers information and learning exercises on the prehistoric and historic use of novaculite, an important Arkansas geological resource. The website includes an interactive map where users across the country can add information on Arkansas novaculite finds, creating a valuable “crowd-sourced” research tool.  The Survey has conducted research recently at several Civil War related sites, including Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park (in cooperation with Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism), Pea Ridge National Military Park, and Dooley’s Ferry and Wallace’s Ferry in southwest Arkansas.

This work contributes to planning and development efforts at these sites, provides new information on battlefield landscapes, and reveals the lives of civilians on the Confederate home front in the context of Arkansas’s commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE INSTITUTE

Established: 1988 www.cji.edu

AT A GLANCE

The Criminal Justice Institute (CJI) is a campus of the University of Arkansas System that serves a unique population of non-traditional students—certified law enforcement professionals who are actively employed within the state’s law enforcement organizations. The Institute is committed to making communities safer by supporting law enforcement professionals through training, education, resources and collaborative partnerships. Utilizing both online learning opportunities and classroom-based instruction, CJI provides an educational experience designed to enhance the performance and professionalism of law enforcement in progressive areas of criminal justice, including law enforcement leadership and management, forensic sciences, computer applications, traffic safety, illicit drug investigations and school safety.

POINTS OF PRIDE

 In fiscal year 2014, CJI delivered 298 classes in 63 different locations statewide benefiting more than 10,000 law enforcement professionals.  Twenty-two colleges and universities across the State are collaborating with CJI to provide Arkansas law enforcement with practitioner-oriented certificates and associate degree programs in two areas of study: Crime Scene Investigation and Law Enforcement Administration. Courses provided by CJI are free of charge, allowing officers to complete these programs at a fraction of the normal cost.  CJI continues to expand the availability of online programs. The implementation of distance- learning strategies is eliminating many of the barriers officers face in obtaining advanced education and training by allowing officers to complete courses at their own pace and within their community.
