3 Independent Auditors Report The Board of Trustees Johnson & Wales University Providence, Rhode Island We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Johnson & Wales University (the University ) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of unrestricted revenues, expenses, and other changes in unrestricted net assets, changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the University s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Johnson & Wales University as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

8 Note 1 - Nature of the University and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Johnson & Wales University (the University ) is a not-for-profit institution offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs in business, culinary, hospitality and technology. Founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1914, the University also operates campuses in North Miami, Florida; Denver, Colorado; and Charlotte, North Carolina. The University consists of the following entities, which have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements: Johnson & Wales University; Johnson & Wales University Club; J.W.C. Corporation; J&W Corporation; Griffin Realty Enterprises, Inc.; Harborside Enterprises, Inc.; Johnson & Wales Alumni Services Corporation; Griffin Realty of Rhode Island-Florida, Inc., and CAFE, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Johnson & Wales University is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a University described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is generally exempt from Federal and state income taxes on related income. Any tax on the subsidiaries is not significant to the consolidated financial statements. The University has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity and its decision to include or exclude items of income unrelated to its operations as tax positions; however, the University has determined that such tax positions do not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. Given the limited taxable activities of the University, management has concluded that disclosure relative to tax provisions are not necessary The University is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. Its Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date of the return being filed. Basis of Statement Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the University have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The University reports three classes of net assets and the changes in those net assets in the statements of financial position and statements of changes in net assets, respectively. The three classes of net assets unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted are based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions, either explicit or implicit. The three classifications are defined as follows: Unrestricted net assets - Net assets and contributions that are not restricted by the donor or for which donor restrictions have expired. Temporarily restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that permit the University to use or expend the donated assets as specified and is satisfied by either the passage of time or by actions of the University. Permanently restricted net assets - Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the University. Unexpended appreciation on permanently restricted net assets is included in temporarily restricted net assets. 6

9 Note 1 - Nature of the University and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Basis of Statement Presentation (Continued) The University reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as temporarily restricted support until the assets are acquired and placed in service. The consolidated statements of unrestricted revenues, expenses, and other changes in unrestricted net assets and the consolidated statements of changes in net assets report the changes in unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted assets from operating and nonoperating activities. Unrestricted operating revenues consist of those items attributable to the University s primary mission of providing education. Investment return included in operations reflects the amount computed using the spending policy for the period as approved by the Board of Trustees. All other investment income or losses are reported as nonoperating revenue commensurate with any restrictions. The University also considers gains and losses resulting from actuarial changes in the defined pension liability as nonoperating. Cash and Cash Equivalents The University considers highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents held by investment managers are considered part of investments given the expectation of near term reinvestment. The University maintains its cash balances at several financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The University monitors its exposure associated with cash and cash equivalents and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Inventory Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (average cost) or market. Contributions Receivable Unconditional promises to give are recorded at fair value when initially pledged. Initial recording for pledges expected to be collected in one year or more is arrived at by using the present value of a risk adjusted rate to account for the inherent risk associated with the expected future cash flows. The initially recorded fair value is considered to be a Level 2 input. Unconditional promises to give are periodically reviewed to estimate an allowance for doubtful collections. Management estimates the allowance by a review of historical experience and a specific review of collection trends that differ from plan on individual accounts. Conditional promises to give are not included as support until the conditions are substantially met. 7

10 Note 1 - Nature of the University and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Accounts Receivable Receivables are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a periodic review. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,927 and $1,826 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable are considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days or the student no longer attends the University. Interest is not charged on receivables. Financing Receivables Included in loans receivable are University funds loaned to students and funds advanced by the University via the Federal Perkins Loan Program ( Perkins ). Perkins funds may be reloaned by the University after collection, but in the event that the University no longer participates in the program, a portion of the amounts are generally refundable to the Federal government. Perkins loans receivable are carried at their estimated net realizable value. Perkins loans receivable are considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 120 days. Interest and late fees are recorded when received. Perkins loans that are in default and meet certain requirements can be assigned to the Department of Education, which reduces the Perkins refundable U.S. Government grants. Included in loans receivable are University funded Achievement Loans, which are carried at their net realizable value. These amounts represent loans to students that are forgiven if students achieve certain grade point averages during their course of study. If the criteria for forgiveness are not met, then the students are required to repay the Achievement Loans in accordance with established terms. Achievement Loans receivable are considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days. Interest and late fees are recorded when received. The Achievement Loans program ended during fiscal year ending June 30, As such, no new loans are being awarded under this program. For all loans, management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on historical experience applied to an aging of accounts, current economic conditions and the credit quality of the loans. Achievement Loan credit losses are also evaluated based on forgiveness trends. Investments Investments are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined as per the fair value policies described later in this section. Interest, dividends and net gains or losses on investments are reported as increases or decreases in permanently restricted net assets if the terms of the original gift require that they be applied to the principal of a permanent endowment fund; as increases or decreases in temporarily restricted net assets if the terms of the gift and/or relevant state law impose restrictions on the current use of the income or net gains and losses; and as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets in all other cases. 8

11 Note 1 - Nature of the University and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Property and Equipment Constructed and purchased property and equipment are carried at cost. Land, buildings or equipment donated to the University are carried at estimated fair value at the date of the gift per the fair value policies described later in this section. Fair value of donated property is effectively recorded using a Level 3 market input. If donors stipulate how long the assets must be used, the contributions are recorded as restricted support. In the absence of such stipulations, contributions of land, buildings and equipment are recorded as unrestricted support at fair value. Long-lived fixed assets, with the exception of land, library holdings and artwork, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The University reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets to assess the recoverability of these assets; any impairment is recognized in operating results if a permanent reduction in value is deemed to have occurred. Bond Issuance Costs Bond issuance costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the associated bond issue. The bond issuance costs of $3,789 and $4,062 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are included in other assets. Amortization expense was $273 in 2012 and Deferred Revenue and Student Deposits Student deposits, along with advance payments for tuition, room and board and other fees related to all subsequent terms have been deferred and will be reported as unrestricted revenue in the year in which the related educational services are provided. Annuity Obligations The University s split-interest agreements consist principally of irrevocable charitable remainder trusts for which the University serves as trustee. Assets held in these trusts are included in investments and reported at fair value per the policies described later in this section. Contribution revenues are initially recognized at fair value at the date the trusts are established after recording liabilities for the present value of the estimated future payments to be made to beneficiaries. The liabilities are adjusted during the term of the trusts for changes in the actuarial value, accretion of the discount and other changes affecting the estimates of future obligations. The initially recorded fair value of the donated investments is determined based on the underlying nature of the investments received which generally represent Level 1 inputs while the initial measurement of the related obligations are Level 2 inputs. 9

12 Note 1 - Nature of the University and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Fair Value Measurements The University reports required types of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis depending on the underlying accounting policy for the particular instrument. Recurring fair value measurements include the University s investment accounts and the interest rate swap contract. Nonrecurring measurements include contributions receivable and annuity obligations. Fair value standards require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs (such as quoted prices in active markets) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (such as appraisals or valuation techniques) to determine fair value. In addition, the University reports certain investments using net asset value per share as determined by investment managers under the so called practical expedient. The practical expedient allows net asset value per share to represent fair value for reporting purposes when the criteria for using this method are met. Fair value standards also require the University to classify recurring fair values of financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy, based on the priority of inputs to the valuation technique or in accordance with net asset value practical expedient rules, which allow for either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on lock-up and notice periods associated with the underlying funds. Instruments measured and reported on a recurring basis at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level 1 Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. Instruments which are generally included in this category include listed equity and debt securities publicly traded on a stock exchange. Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Level 2 also includes investments reported at net asset value per share with lock-up periods of 90 days or less. Level 3 Pricing inputs are unobservable for the instrument and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Level 3 methods include investments reported at net asset value per share with lock-up periods in excess of 90 days. In some instances the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such instances, the inputs are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Market price is affected by a number of factors, including the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. It is reasonably possible that changes in values of these instruments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect amounts reported in these financial statements. For more information on the fair value of the University s financial instruments, see Note 5 Fair Values of Financial Instruments. 10

13 Note 1 - Nature of the University and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Practicum Properties The practicum properties are primarily hotels and banquet operations. Revenue is recognized when earned, when the stay or event is completed. Fundraising Expenses Fundraising costs of $3,210 and $3,739 in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively, are charged to expense and are included in general administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of unrestricted revenues, expenses, and other changes in unrestricted net assets. Functional Expense Allocation The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statement of unrestricted revenues, expenses and other changes in net assets. Physical plant costs, including depreciation and interest expense, have been allocated based on square footage utilization. All other program expenses represent actual costs incurred. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates included in the financial statements relate to the allowance for doubtful loans, contributions and accounts receivable, fair value of certain investments, the estimate of annuity obligations, and the allocation of common expenses over program functions. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2012 presentation. Subsequent Events The University has evaluated subsequent events through November 13, 2012, the date the financial statements were issued. 11

20 Note 5 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) The University invests in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) guidance relative to investment companies and these investments are reported at fair value based on the net asset value per share as reported by the investee. These investments are measured at fair value using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. Investments are categorized as Level 2 instruments when the University has the ability to redeem its investment in the entity at net asset value per share at year-end or within 90 days of year-end. Investments are categorized as Level 3 instruments when the University cannot redeem its investment within 90 days of year-end. A summary of the significant categories of such investments and their attributes is as follows: Redemption Frequency (If Redemption Unfunded Currently Notice Fair Value Commitments Eligible) Period U.S. equities $ 26,700 $ - Daily/Monthly 1-15 days Global equities 22,556 - Daily/Monthly days Global fixed income 6,251 - Monthly 15 days Marketable alternative assets 60,114 - Quarterly/Annually days Non-marketable alternative assets 24,793 10,189 N/A N/A Non-marketable inflation hedging 4,602 4,010 N/A N/A Marketable inflation hedging funds 14,331 - Daily/Quarterly 1-60 days $ 159,347 $ 14,199 U.S. equities includes investments in funds of funds that invest primarily in U.S. common stocks and the funds are designed to give the managers the flexibility to invest both long and short within their area of expertise.

21 Note 5 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) Global equities includes investments in funds of funds that invest primarily in foreign countries common stocks and the funds are designed to give the managers the flexibility to invest both long and short within their area of expertise. The funds are redeemable on a daily basis. Global fixed income includes investments in funds of funds that invest in U.S. and international debt securities and the funds are designed to give the managers the flexibility to invest both long and short within their area of expertise. The redemption restriction period for these investments is monthly within 90 days at June 30, Marketable alternative assets includes various investments in different markets designed to give the managers flexibility to invest both long and short within their areas of expertise. The redemption restriction period for these investments are quarterly or annually within 45 to 90 days at June 30, Non-marketable alternative assets includes investments in pooled investment vehicles and private equity funds. These investments can never be redeemed. Instead, the nature of the investments in this category is that distributions will be received as the underlying investments of the fund are liquidated. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund will be liquidated over the next five to seven years. Non-marketable inflation hedging includes three funds that invest in natural resources. These investments can never be redeemed. Instead, the nature of the investments in this category is that distributions will be received as the underlying investments of the fund are liquidated. Marketable inflation hedging funds includes three funds that invest in areas that are sources of inflationary pressure such as global and domestic equity and equity related securities, commodities, natural resources, and financial instruments. The redemption restriction period for these investments ranges from daily to quarterly within 60 days at June 30, Management has determined that fair value approximates carrying value for cash, cash equivalents, student accounts receivable and accounts payable and annuities payable, given the short-term nature of these instruments. Management has no practical or cost effective way of assessing fair value for contributions receivable and loans receivable. A reasonable estimate of the fair value of the notes receivable from students under government loan programs and advances from the Federal government for student loans could not be made because the notes receivable are not salable and can only be assigned to the U.S. government or its designees. The estimated fair value of the University s debt was $151,882 at June 30, 2012 based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. The market prices utilized reflect the rate that the University would have to pay to a creditworthy third party to assume its obligation and do not reflect an additional liability to the University. 19

Note 7 - Retirement Plans Defined Benefit Pension Plans The University had a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits were based on years of service and the employees compensation. The University s funding policy was to contribute annually an amount equal to or greater than the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum funding standards under ERISA 302 and Internal Revenue Code 412. As of June 30, 2006, the accrual of benefits in the defined benefit pension plan ceased and employee benefits accrued as of that date were frozen. In February 2010, the Board of Trustees voted to terminate the plan by settling the benefit obligation. During fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, the obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was settled by making lump-sum payments to the participants and/or providing third-party annuity contracts to cover the benefits, depending on the election of the plan participants. The University has an executive retirement plan that is designed in accordance with Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants are designated by the Board of Trustees. The University generally makes non-elective annual contributions to the plan on behalf of each participant. The participants are responsible for making investment selections within their designated accounts. However, the funds remain assets of the University until such time as the participant withdraws the funds in accordance with plan provisions. Assets held for this plan were $941 and $870 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are reported in investments. A corresponding liability to plan participants is reported in accounts payable and accrued expenses. 20

23 Note 7 - Retirement Plans (Continued) Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Continued) The University also has a supplemental executive retirement plan ( SERP ) designed in accordance with Section 457(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants are designated by the Board of Trustees. Although the plan is unfunded, the University has on deposit $796 in a rabbi trust, which is set aside for the purpose of paying these benefits. The plan is a defined benefit plan intended to provide a lump-sum payment at age 65, representing the actuarial value of a lifetime annuity equal to 75% of final salary, offset by the actuarial equivalent of benefits that had been accrued under the University s now terminated defined benefit pension plan and the assumed value of the participant s account in the previously described 457(b) plan, using a 7% assumed rate of return. The University uses a June 30 measurement date to determine the pension obligations. The following table sets forth the two plans funded status as recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated statements of financial position as follows: Pension SERP Total Total Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 113,471 $ 2,709 $ 116,180 $ 113,402 Service cost Interest cost 4, ,762 5,738 Effect of settlement (122,183) - (122,183) - Actuarial loss 6, , Benefits paid (2,612) - (2,612) (3,125) Benefit obligation at end of year - 3,112 3, ,180 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 109, ,961 90,683 Actual return on plan assets (5) - (5) 2,403 Employer contributions 14,839-14,830 20,000 Benefits paid (124,795) - (124,795) (3,125) Fair value of plan assets at end of year ,961 Funded status at end of year $ - $ (3,112) $ (3,112) $ (6,219) 21
