1 Financial Statements (With Independent Auditors Report Thereon)

2 KPMG LLP 345 Park Avenue New York, NY Independent Auditors Report The Board of Trustees Sacred Heart University, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Sacred Heart University, Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sacred Heart University, Inc. as of, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. October 15, 2013 KPMG LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership, the U.S. member firm of KPMG International Cooperative ( KPMG International ), a Swiss entity.

7 (1) The University Sacred Heart University, Inc. (the University) is a Catholic university in New England and offers more than 40 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs on its main campus in Fairfield, Connecticut, and satellites in Connecticut, Luxembourg, and Ireland. More than 6,000 students attend the University s five colleges: the College of Arts & Sciences; the Isabelle Farrington College of Education; the College of Health Professions; University College; and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredited by John F. Welch College of Business. The University is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a), as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, it is not subject to income taxes except to the extent it has taxable income from activities that are not related to its exempt purpose. The University recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. No provision for income taxes was required for fiscal 2013 or (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. (b) Net Asset Classifications The University reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted. Unrestricted net assets are not restricted by donors, or the donor-imposed restrictions have expired. The University s Board of Trustees has designated a portion of the unrestricted net assets for fixed assets and long-term investment (quasi-endowment). Temporarily restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that permit the University to use or expend the assets as specified. The restrictions are satisfied either by the passage of time or by action of the University. Permanently restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that stipulate the resources be maintained permanently, but permit the University to use the income from the resources for either specified or unspecified purposes. Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless their use is limited by donor-imposed restrictions. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. Gains and losses on investments and other assets and liabilities are reported as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets unless their use is restricted by explicit donor stipulation or by law. (c) Measure of Operations In the statements of activities, the University includes in operations all revenue and expenses that are an integral part of its program and supporting activities. Investment return, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses in excess of or less than the University s authorized spending policy, and other nonrecurring activities are recognized as nonoperating activities. 6 (Continued)

8 (d) (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents held for long-term investment purposes. Investments Investments (including investments held by bond trustee) are presented in the financial statements at fair value determined on the basis of quoted market prices. The alternative investments, which are not readily marketable, are carried at an estimated fair value using net asset value as provided by the investment manager as a practical expedient. The University reviews and evaluates the value provided by the alternative investment manager. The estimated fair value may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the alternative investment existed. Investment return (including net realized and unrealized gains or losses) is allocated between unrestricted and temporarily restricted net assets, based upon donor-imposed restrictions or the absence thereof. (f) (g) (h) Deferred Revenue The University recognizes revenue from student tuition and fees within the fiscal year in which the academic term is predominantly conducted and unearned revenue from contracts with service providers, which are recognized over the life of the contract. Amounts collected in advance of such revenue recognition are deferred. Land, Buildings, and Equipment Land, buildings, and equipment are recorded at cost on the date of acquisition or fair value on the date of donation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related plant assets as follows: buildings, 30 years; leasehold improvements, 30 years or the term of the lease; land improvements, 20 years; equipment and furniture, 3 or 5 or 7 years; art, 20 years; and library books, 10 years. Contributions Contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are recognized initially at fair value as revenues in the period received. Conditional contributions are recognized as revenue when the conditions on which they depend have been substantially met. The University records contributions as temporarily restricted if they are received with donor stipulations that limit their use through purpose or time restrictions. When donor-imposed restrictions expire, that is, when a purpose restriction is fulfilled or a time restriction ends, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. The fair value of contributions to be received after one year are discounted at an appropriate discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. The inputs to the fair value estimate are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In subsequent periods, the discount rate is unchanged and the allowance for uncollectible contributions is reassessed and adjusted as necessary. Amortization of discount is recorded as additional 7 (Continued)

9 contributions revenue in accordance with donor-imposed restrictions, if any, on the contributions. An allowance for uncollectible contributions receivable is provided based upon management s judgment including such factors as prior collection history, type of contribution, and nature of fund-raising activity. Government grants are accounted for as temporarily restricted contributions. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulation, the University reports expirations of donor-imposed restrictions when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed in service. The University has interests in several charitable remainder trusts and other split-interest agreements. The interests are carried at the present value of the estimated future benefit to be received when the trust assets are distributed. (i) Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing University programs and supporting services have been summarized on the statements of activities. Accordingly, certain costs (depreciation, interest, and operation and maintenance of plant) have been allocated to functional categories based on building square footage or based on the use of debt proceeds. Institutional supporting services include total fund-raising costs of $1,755,631 in fiscal year 2013 and $1,570,392 in fiscal year Fund-raising activities of the University include salaries and employee benefits of program staff that develop proposals for fundraising; solicit contributions for those needs and for endowment purposes from individuals, corporations, government agencies, and foundations; and conduct specific fund-raising events. Fund-raising costs are expensed as incurred. (j) (k) 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements Certain of the University s assets are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; as well as those alternative investments (measured at net asset value) that are redeemable on or near the balance sheet date; quotes prices in markets that are not active; or 8 (Continued)

10 other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, as well as the alternative investments (measured at net asset value) that are not redeemable on or near the balance sheet date. (l) Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of investments, funds held by bond trustee, land held for sale and long-term debt is discussed elsewhere in these notes. (3) Contributions and Other Receivables Contributions and other receivables as of are summarized as follows: Unconditional promises expected to be collected: Within one year $ 1,139,452 1,151,824 Between one and five years 1,368, ,417 After five years 1,004,000 1,000,000 3,511,954 2,956,241 Less: Allowance for uncollectible amounts (41,324) (32,709) Discount to present value (435,108) (490,384) Net contributions receivable 3,035,522 2,433,148 Other receivables 956,265 1,364,606 $ 3,991,787 3,797,754 Amounts receivable from five donors represented 80% and 86% of gross contributions receivable as of, respectively. 9 (Continued)

16 The University was required to establish a debt service fund with a trustee sufficient to cover payments of principal, interest, and sinking fund requirements due on the bonds in any one year (note 5). To collateralize the CHEFA Series G Revenue Bonds, the University has pledged its gross receipts to CHEFA, created a negative pledge on the core campus and granted a mortgage on a 4-acre property at 4940 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut, which includes Roncalli Hall, a 7-acre property at 5252 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut, which includes Christian Witness Commons building (formerly, North Hall), and a 4-acre property located at 5401 Park Avenue, Fairfield, Connecticut, adjacent to the main campus. Series H Revenue Bonds On February 14, 2012, the University issued CHEFA Series H Revenue Bonds in the amount of $47,740,000 at a premium of $3.8 million.
