3 October 25, 2012 To the Board of Trustees Ohio Christian University Circleville, Ohio Independent Auditor's Report We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Ohio Christian University (a nonprofit Ohio corporation) as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the University's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the University s 2011 financial statements and, in our report dated October 7, 2011 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ohio Christian University as of June 30, 2012, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 25, 2012 on our consideration of Ohio Christian University's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. -1-

4 Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for the purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as whole.

10 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF ACTIVITIES Ohio Christian University is located in Circleville, Ohio. The University is accredited as a baccalaureate and masters program institution by the Association for Biblical Higher Education and the Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association. The University is a private institution with a commitment to Christian values, academic excellence, and the purposeful integration of faith, learning, and life and is supported primarily by tuition, contributions from alumni and affiliated organizations, and earnings on endowments. Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities. Basis of Presentation Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board s Accounting Standards Codification , Not-for-Profit Entities- Presentation of Financial Statements. Under those provisions, net assets and revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the absence or existence and nature of donor-imposed restrictions as follows: Unrestricted net assets are net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and are currently available for use in the University s operations. Temporarily restricted net assets are net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that can be fulfilled by actions of the University pursuant to those stipulations or that expire by the passage of time. Included in this class are lifetime annuity gift agreements. Permanently restricted net assets are net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions that they be maintained permanently by the University. Generally, the donors of such assets permit the University to use all or part of the income earned on the assets. Included in this class are permanent endowments and scholarships. All contributions are considered available for unrestricted use, unless specifically restricted by the donor or subject to other legal restrictions. Summarized Comparative Information The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the University s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, from which the summarized information was derived. -8-

11 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles includes the use of estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less, except for investments purchased with endowment, scholarship, or annuity assets, which are classified as long-term investments. The University maintains a separate bank account to segregate federal student financial aid, as required by the U.S. Department of Education. Investments Investments are carried at fair value. Investment Income and Gains Investment income and gains restricted by donors are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions are met (either a stipulated time period ends or a purpose restriction is accomplished) in the reporting period in which the income and gains are recognized. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable include student accounts receivable, bookstore sales receivable, and other receivables. Student accounts receivable represent amounts due for tuition, fees, and room and board from currently enrolled and former students. Bookstore sales receivable represent largely amounts that will be paid once student financial aid is available to post to students accounts. The University extends unsecured credit to students and parents of dependent students in connection with their studies. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a provision for bad debt expense and an adjustment to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. -9-

12 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Pledges Receivable The University has outstanding pledge balances for a pledge drive to fund an endowment honoring long-serving faculty member Dr. David Case. These pledges receivable have not been discounted as they are anticipated to either be fully collected or written off as bad debt in the fiscal year ending June 30, Property and Equipment Property and equipment and land values for assets in existence as of August 1, 1976 are recorded at an appraisal value of $1,121,135 as of that date since no historical costs were available under the prior cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting. Additions and acquisitions during subsequent fiscal years are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition. Donated property and equipment are carried at the approximate fair value at the date of donation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (5 to 40 years). Expenditures for property and equipment and major renewals and replacements costing over $2,500 are capitalized. Interest costs incurred during construction are also capitalized. Public Support, Revenue and Expense Contribution income is recorded when cash is received or when ownership of donated assets is transferred. Unconditional pledges are recorded when the University is notified of the pledge, and allowances are provided for amounts estimated as uncollectible. Pledges that will be collected over periods greater than one year are reviewed for collectability and the need for discounting. Bequests are recorded as income at the time the University has an established right to the bequest and the proceeds are measurable. Expenses are recorded when incurred in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the restriction expires in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. All other donorrestricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a 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 as net assets released from restrictions. Certain staff members have voluntarily reduced their annual compensation for the furtherance of the University s programs and mission. The savings on these salaries was $33,711 for the year ended June 30, The value of these voluntary reductions has been recorded as an expense with an offsetting amount in contributions in the year the reduction occurred. Allocation of Expense The costs of providing the various programs and supporting activities of the University have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the program and supporting activities. -10-

13 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Advertising The University expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Annuities Payable The University administers various charitable remainder annuity agreements. A charitable remainder annuity provides for the payment of distributions to the grantor or other designated beneficiaries over the annuity s term (usually the designated beneficiary s lifetime). At the end of the annuity s term, the remaining assets (residuum) are available for the University s use or payment of residuum in accordance with the annuity agreement terms. The portion of the annuity attributable to the present value of the future benefits to be received by the University is recorded in the Statement of Activities as a temporarily restricted contribution in the period the annuity is established. Assets held in the charitable remainder annuities are reported at fair market value in the University s Statement of Financial Position. On an annual basis, the University revalues the liability to make distributions to the designated beneficiaries based upon actuarial assumptions. The present value of the estimated future payments is calculated using applicable mortality tables and the contract rate for each individual annuity. Line of Credit The University has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with Citizens Bank of Ashville with an interest rate of prime plus 1% paid monthly. At June 30, 2012 and 2011 the interest rate was 4.25% and the outstanding balances were $446,699 and $0, respectively. Income Tax Status The University is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and comparable state law, and contributions to it are tax deductible within the limitations prescribed by the Code. The University has been classified as a publicly supported organization, which is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Code. All required filings have been made and are generally subject to review for three years. Endowment Funds Board-designated Endowment. The Board of Trustees had designated unrestricted net assets as a general endowment fund to support the mission of the University. Since that amount resulted from an internal designation and not donor-restricted, it is classified and reported as unrestricted net assets. Donor-designated Endowments. The University s endowment includes numerous funds contributed for scholarships and general endowment of the University. The endowment fund includes both donor-restricted funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. -11-

14 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Endowment Funds (Continued) The Board of Trustees of the University has interpreted the State Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (SPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the University classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the University in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by SPMIFA. In accordance with SPMIFA, the University considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: (1) the duration and preservation of the various funds, (2) the purposes of the donor-restricted endowment funds, (3) general economic conditions, (4) the possible effect of inflation and deflation, (5) the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments, (6) other resources of the University, and (7) the University s investment policies. Investment Return Objectives, Risk Parameters and Strategies. The investment objectives of the University are to grow the investment principal and to maximize the total rate of return on the investments, all within prudent parameters of risk, as follows: A. Scholarship: focus on maximizing the total rate of return in order to fund scholarships according to donor wishes. B. Endowment: focus on growing the investment principal in order to increase the endowment and secure the financial future of the University. C. Annuity: focus on maximizing the total rate of return in order to create income to offset the annuity. 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consist of the following as of June 30, 2012: Aging Total 30 Days >90 days Accounts Receivable: Student Accounts $ 6,687,556 $ 1,969,100 $ 1,273,023 $ 599,539 $ 2,845,894 Bookstore 96,652 96, Advancement 62,525 31, ,525 Gross Accounts Receivable 6,846,733 $ 2,096,752 $ 1,273,023 $ 599,539 $ 2,877,419 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (1,563,882) Net Accounts Receivable $ 5,282,

15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -13-

16 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. PLEDGES RECEIVABLE During the year ended June 30, 2009, the University held a campaign drive to raise funds for the David Case Chair Endowment. Gross pledges receivable at June 30, 2012 were $48,928 with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $11,174. Fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 will be the last year of collection on these receivables. Any uncollected balance will be written off to bad debt expense. 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The University has only Level 1 assets. Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. This level includes common stocks, corporate bonds or mutual funds based on the closing price reported in the active market where the securities are traded. Fair value measurements for assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis were determined based on: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Description Fair Value (Level 1) Long-term investments Cash, cash equivalents, and money market $ 197,303 $ 197,303 Mutual funds 811, ,151 Bonds 293, ,737 Exchange Traded and Closed End Funds 802, ,717 Annuities 25,432 25,432 Other 44,586 44, ENDOWMENT FUNDS The performance objectives of the University are (1) the preservation of capital, growth, and income and (2) to achieve a minimum annual return of three percentage points in excess of the rate of inflation as measured by changes in the Consumer Price Index, or a more acceptable index when available. The measurement time period is 3 to 5 years of a market cycle. -14-

17 5. ENDOWMENT FUNDS (Continued) OHIO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The University operates in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, particularly the prudent person rule. The prudent person rule of investment means that in investing and reinvesting monies and in acquiring, retaining, managing, and disposing of investment, there shall be exercised the judgment and care under the circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in management of their own affairs, not in regard to speculation but in regard to the permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income as well as the probable safety of their capital.

Lease expenses, including volume copier print charges, for leases was $126,064 for the year ended June 30, Future minimum lease payments under operating leases that have remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2012 are: Years Ending June 30: 2013 $ 141, , , , ,953 Thereafter - $ 385,

18 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7. LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE OHIO HIGHER EDUCATIONAL FACILITY COMMISSION During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, the University entered into a lease agreement with the Ohio Higher Educational Facility Commission. The Commission issued revenue bonds of $8,400,000, the proceeds of which were used to provide funds for the Project costs for (a) a new residence hall, (b) construction of the Campus Leadership Center, (c) acquiring property for campus growth, (d) renovation of Johnson Hall, Moore Hall, and The Conley Ministry Center, and (e) refinancing existing loans. The Commission will lease the Project from the University and, in turn, will lease the Project back to the University, with the debt service being payable solely from the revenues derived from the Commission s lease of the Project to the University. The University has pledged and assigned a lien on a security interest in its revenues, excluding certain types of revenues such as federal student aid or restricted federal or state grants.

23 October 25, 2012 Board of Trustees Ohio Christian University Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards We have audited the financial statements of Ohio Christian University (the University)(a nonprofit corporation) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, and have issued our report thereon dated October 25, We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management of the University is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the University's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the University s internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the University s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. -21-

24 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the University's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the University in a separate letter dated October 25, This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Trustees, management and others within the organization, and federal awarding agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

25 October 25, 2012 Board of Trustees Ohio Christian University Compliance Independent Auditor s Report On Compliance With Requirements That Could Have a Direct and Material Effect on Each Major Program and on Internal Control Over Compliance in Accordance With OMB Circular A-133 We have audited the compliance of Ohio Christian University (the University)(a nonprofit corporation) with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the University's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, The University's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its major federal program is the responsibility of Ohio Christian University's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the University's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the University's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the University's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the University complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended June 30,

26 Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the University is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the University's internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. Our consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Trustees, management and others within the organization and federal awarding agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
