3 UNIVERSITY OF COLLEGE ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM, A PROJECT OF MEDCO Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Years Ended June 2015 and 2014 As management of the University of Maryland, College Park Energy and Utility Infrastructure Program (the Program), a project of Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO), we offer readers of the Program's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Program for the fiscal years ended June 30,2015 and Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the Program's financial activity, and (c) identify changes in the Program's financial position. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the Program's financial statements and accompanying notes. Financial Highlights The financial highlights of the Program for the year ended June 30, 2015 were as follows: Total net position increased by $1,196,000 in 2015 primarily due to capital recovery charges and interest earned on deposits with the bond trustee in excess of depreciation and interest expense on the bonds, partially offset by the surplus funds distribution. Net position as of June 30, 2015 totaled $5,273,000. During 2015, management determined that the Program had generated $1,164,000 of excess surplus funds under the indenture governing the Program's bonds. These funds were returned to the University of Maryland, College Park (the University) and are included in the current financial statements as a non-operating expense. The financial highlights of the Program for the year ended June 30, 2014 were as follows: Total net position increased by $1,059,000 in 2014 primarily due to capital recovery charges and interest earned on deposits with the bond trustee in excess of depreciation and interest expense on the bonds, partially offset by the surplus funds distribution. Net position as of June 30, 2014 totaled $4,077,000. During 2014, management determined that the Program had generated $1,164,000 of excess surplus funds under the indenture governing the Program's bonds. These funds were returned to the University of Maryland, College Park (the University) and are included in the current financial statements as a non-operating expense. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. Under this standard, certain debt issuance costs which were previously capitalized and amortized over the life of the related debt are now required to be expensed as incurred. This change is fuliher discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The change in accounting method has been applied by retroactively adjusting the financial statements for all periods presented in this MD&A. 1

4 INFRASTRUCTURE A PROJECT OF MEDCO Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 Overview of the Financial Statements This MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the Program's financial statements. The Program is intended to be a self-supporting entity and follows enterprise fund reporting; accordingly, the financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Enterprise fund statements offer short-term and long-term financial information about the activities and operations of the Program. These statements are presented in a manner similar to a private business. The Program's statements consist of two patts: the financial statements and notes to the financial statements. The Financial Statements The Program's financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of its finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statements of net position present information on all of the Program's assets and defelted outflows of resources, and liabilities and defelted inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. In 2001, MEDCO issued limited obligation revenue bonds to provide capital financing for improvements to the steam, electric, and chilled water infrastructure (infrastructure improvements) serving the University. The proceeds were deposited with a trustee and invested, generally in United States Government or agency securities, and guaranteed investment contracts or repurchase agreements, until disbursed for the acquisition or construction of capital assets, or retained for the establishment of certain required reserves. In 2011, MEDCO issued a new series of limited obligation revenue bonds, the proceeds of which were utilized primarily to defease the bonds issued in The revenue bonds were issued in MEDCO's name; however, MEDCO has no obligation for the bonds beyond the resources of the Program. The statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position present the operating activities of the Program and sources of non-operating revenues and expenses. The statements of cash flows present summarized sources and uses of funds for the Program. Cash flows from operating activities generally represent payments received from the University under the Energy Services Agreement (the Agreement) and disbursements for the costs of operation and maintenance of the infrastructure improvements, exclusive of interest expense and interest income earned on investments. Cash flows from capital and related financing and investing activities generally reflect the incultence of debt obligations, the subsequent investment of debt proceeds in the Program, periodic principal and interest payments on the debt and earnings on investtnents of the Program. The Program is owned by MEDCO; however, at the end of the ground lease, ownership of the Program will revert to the University Systeln of Maryland. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages of this repmt. 2

5 UNIVERSITY ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT OF MEDCO Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Years Ended June 2015 and 2014 Financial Analysis of University of Maryland, College Park Energy and Utility Infrastructure Program The following table summarizes the Program's financial position as of June 30: Current assets $ 11,312,562 $ 9,913,113 $ 9,985,444 Net capital assets 16,410,573 20,349,111 24,287,648 Other assets 6,268,400 6,347,329 6,329,131 Total Assets $ 33,991,535 $ 36,609,553 $ 40,602,223 Deferred outflow of resources 27,874 42,703 60,382 Current liabilities $ 8,917,481 $ 7,575,512 $ 7,639,213 Non-current liabilities 19,460,928 24,610,625 29,625,812 Total Liabilities $ 28,378,409 $ 32,186,137 $ 37,265,025 Deferred inflow of resources 368, , ,204 Net investment in capital assets $ (7,727,481) $ (8,703,811) $ (9,547,782) Restricted under trust indenture 13,000,234 12,780,458 12,565,158 Total Net Position $ 5,272,753 $ 4,076,647 $ 3,017,376 Significant factors in the changes in the Program's financial position for the year ended June 30, 2015 include the following: Current assets increased $1,399,000 primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable due to increased capacity and consumption charges. Net capital assets decreased $3,939,000 due to depreciation. Current liabilities increased $1,342,000 primarily due to an increase in accounts payable due to increased utility expenses. Non-current liabilities decreased $5,150,000 primarily as a result of the scheduled debt service payment becoming current. Net position increased $1,196,000 due primarily to capital recovery charges and interest earned on deposits with the bond trustee in excess of depreciation and interest expense on the bonds. This increase was partially offset by the surplus funds distribution. 3

8 UNIVERSITY ENERGY AND UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT OF MEDCO Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Years Ended June 2015 and 2014 In 1999, MEDca was requested to assist in the development of an energy and utility infrastructure program for the University through issuance of its tax-exempt revenue bonds. The proceeds of the bonds were used for the initial design, construction and furnishing of the Program. The Program had no major capital asset events for the years ended June 30, 2015 and Debt As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Program had total bond debt outstanding, net of unamortized premiums and discounts of $24,166,000 and $29,096,000, respectively. None of this debt is backed by the full faith and credit of the State of Maryland, MEDCa or the University. The debt is secured solely by the revenues and assets of the Program. There were no major debt events during the years ended June 30, 2015 and Contacting Management of MEDCO This report is designed to provide Maryland citizens and taxpayers, and our customers, clients, investors and creditors, with a general overview of the finances of the University of Maryland, College Park Energy and Utility Infrastructure Program.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation of and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. AuditoJrs' ResponsibiHty 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of ltiateriallidsstatement. 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 auditor considers inten1al 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 circultistances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's intell1al 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 ltiaterial respects, the financial position of University of Maryland, College Park Energy and Utility Infrastructure Program, a project of MEDCO, as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

14 A PROJECT OF MEDCO Notes to Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2015 and SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS Ownership and Management The University of Maryland, College Park Energy and Utility Infrastructure Program (the Program) is a project of Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO). The Program relates to the development, operation and maintenance of the chilled water, steam generation and distribution, and electric generation and distribution systems serving the University of Maryland, College Park (the University) campus. The Program commenced operations in August Under an Energy Services Agreement dated August 31, 1999, as amended through Change Order 4, MEDCO provides energy conversion and delivery services to the University. Under terms of the Agreement, the University makes monthly paylnents to MEDCO, as follows: (i) a reservation charge (which consists of two components: capacity charges and capital recovery charges), (ii) a volume-based consumption charge for each of the energy services, (iii) the fees and expenses of MEDCO, and (iv) amounts needed to replenish operating reserves. The Energy Services Agreement has a term of 20 years. On August 31, 1999, MEDCO entered into a Management, Operation, and Maintenance Agreement (the Management Agreement) and a Design and Construction Agreement (the Construction Agreement) with a private vendor, Trigen-Cinergy Solutions of College Park, LLC (subsequently Trigen Solutions of College Park, LLC and now College Park Energy, LLC) (Trigen) for the operation and maintenance of the existing steam and electric distribution systems and for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of necessary improvements to such systems and a new chilled water generation and distribution system. Under the Management Agreement, as amended through Change Order 2, Trigen earns an energy service charge which consists of a system capacity charge and a consumption charge. The Management Agreement has a term of 20 years. On July 9, 1999, MEDCO entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Sebesta Blomberg and Associates (Sebesta) whereby Sebesta provides certain owner's representative and contract administration services to the Program. The Professional Services Agreement had an initial term of four years and through a series of subsequent amendments and extensions, cultently expires June 30, Sebesta's fees under the Professional Services Agreement were approximately $52,300 and $40,600 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 12

15 OFMEDCO Notes to Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 2015 and SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS - continued Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements present the financial position, changes in financial position and cash flows of the Program based on amounts specifically identifiable in MEDCa's accounting records. The Program is a project of MEDCa and, as such, all financial data presented herein is also included in the financial statements of MEDCa as of and for the years ended June 30, 2015 and However, the accompanying financial statements present only the Program and do not purp0l1 to, and do not, present the financial position of MEDCa as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. MEDCa utilizes the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements, wherein revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incuned. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncem_ents During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Project adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities (GASB 65). GASB 65 was issued to establish accounting and financial reporting standards that reclassify, as defened outflows of resources or defened inflows of resources, certain items that were previously rep0l1ed as assets and liabilities and recognizes, as outflows of resources or inflows of resources, certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Project adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 72, Fair Value lvleasurelnent and Application (GASB 72). GASB 72 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The adoption of GASB 72 did not have a material impact on the Project's financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the rep0l1ing period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 13

16 INFRASTRUCTURE A PROJECT OF MEDCO Notes to Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 2015 and SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS - continued Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of charges for operating revenues due from the University. The Program considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible as of June 30, 2015 and Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the accompanying statements of net position. Included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2015 and 2014 are funds due from the University in the amount of $3,607,807 and $2,374,613, respectively. Upon receipt of the 2015 funds from the University, $953,331 is required to be transfened to the bond trustee, $2,501,280 is due to Trigen for capacity charges and fees and expenses, $6,866 is due to Sebesta for management fees, and $146,330 is due to MEDCa for fees and expenses, respectively. Upon receipt of the 2014 funds from the University, $954,242 was required to be transfened to the bond trustee, $1,380,866 was due to Trigen for capacity charges and fees and expenses, $7,966 was due to Sebesta for management fees, and $31,650 was due to MEDca for fees and expenses, respectively. UnbiHed Accounts Receivable As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, unbilled accounts receivable includes $1,171,234 and $1,163,868 of amounts due for capital recovery charges under the Energy Services Agreement that had not been billed to the University. These receivables were billed to the University and collected subsequent to year end. Energy Services Agreement As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, accounts payable and accrued expenses include a reserve for repairs of $1,000,000 in accordance with the Energy Services Agreement. Capital Assets and Depredation Capital assets are canied at cost including interest, canying charges, salaries and related costs, and preconstruction costs associated with the development of the Program. Capital assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis under GASB Statement No. 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries (GASB No. 42). GASB No. 42 requires an evaluation of prominent events or changes in circumstances affecting capital assets to determine whether impairment of a capital asset has occuned. Such events or changes in circumstances that may be indicative of impairment include evidence of physical damage, enactment or approval of laws or regulations or other changes in environmental factors, technological changes or evidence of obsolescence, changes in the ll1anner or duration of use of a capital asset, and construction stoppage. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, management does not believe that the capital assets of the Program meet the criteria for impairment as set forth in GASB No

17 A PROJECT OF MEDCO Notes to Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2015 and SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS - continued Capital Assets and Depreciation - continued Depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the Energy Services Agreement. Deferred OutflowslInflows of Resources A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until a future period. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Program recognized deferred advance refunding costs as a deferred outflow of resources on the accompanying statements on net position. A deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that tilne.
