Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Trustees
Shawnee State University Development Foundation
Portsmouth, Ohio

   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Shawnee State University Development Foundation (a not-for-profit component unit of Shawnee State University) as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Shawnee State University Development Foundation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
  
   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 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 the Shawnee State University Development Foundation as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets and cash flows for the years 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 September 1, 2005, on our consideration of the Foundation’s internal control over financial reporting and 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 results of our audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2005 and 2004

Note 1 – Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Organization • Shawnee State University Development
Foundation (the “Foundation”) was incorporated as a not-forprofit
organization in the State of Ohio on November 4, 1987. The Foundation was formed to raise funds exclusively for the benefit of Shawnee State University. The primary source of revenues for the Foundation is donor contributions. The Foundation is a legally separate entity from the University and maintains a self appointing board of trustees.

Financial Statement Presentation •
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, “Financial Statements of Not-For-Profit Organizations.” Under SFAS No. 117, the Foundation is required to report information regarding its financial positions and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents •
The Foundation considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investments •
Investments are carried at fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations.” Investments received by gifts are recorded at fair value on the date of gift. Realized investment gains and losses represent the difference between the proceeds on sales of investments and their cost when acquired. Investment return includes interest, dividends, and both realized and unrealized gains and losses.
   In accordance with SFAS No. 117, the Foundation has recorded net appreciation (both realized and unrealized) on endowment funds as unrestricted net assets unless the use of such income has been temporarily or permanently restricted by the donor or by law. In cases where such donor-imposed restrictions exist, net appreciation is recorded in the same manner as the corresponding income.
   The Foundation’s endowment consists of assets, which are invested to provide income to support education and related activities, either as a result of donor-imposed restrictions or as a result of designations by the Board of Trustees. Endowment contributions are generally invested on a pooled basis and managed so as to achieve maximum long-term total return.

Contributions •
Contributions to the Foundation are recognized and reported as revenue at fair value upon the earlier of the period in which a pledge becomes unconditional or the period in which the contribution is received. Contributions with donor-imposed restrictions are reported as temporarily or permanently restricted support, while contributions without donor-imposed restrictions are reported as unrestricted support.

Net Assets • Unrestricted Net Assets
represent funds, which can be used by the Foundation for any purpose authorized by the Board of Trustees.
   Temporarily Restricted Net Assets represent funds, which are restricted for a specific purpose determined by the donor. A donor-imposed restriction permits the Foundation to expend the donated assets as specified and is satisfied either by the passage of time or by actions of the Foundation. The Foundation maintains separate balances in its accounting records to account for the amounts available for such restricted purposes.
   Permanently Restricted Net Assets represent contributions in which the donor has stipulated, as a condition of the gift, that the principal be maintained intact and only the earnings of the fund be expended as the donor has specified.
   During fiscal year 1990, the Foundation was awarded$500,000 by the U.S. Department of Education for an Endowment Challenge Grant. Significant provisions of the Grant required the Foundation to secure $500,000 in matching funds from private sources. The Foundation is temporarily restricted from spending more than 50% of the income on the investment of the Endowment Challenge Grant for a twenty-year period. After the twenty-year period, all income earned and the Grant’s corpus may be spent by the Foundation for educational purposes.

Expiration of Donor-Imposed Restrictions • The expiration of a donor-imposed restriction on a contribution or
on endowment income is recognized in the period in which the restriction expires and at that time the related resources are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. A restriction expires when either the stipulated time has elapsed or when the stipulated purpose for which the resource was restricted has been fulfilled, or both.
    Contributions of land, buildings, and equipment without donor stipulations concerning the use of such long-lived assets are reported as revenues of unrestricted net assets. Contributions of cash or other assets to be used to acquire land, buildings, and equipment with such donor stipulations are reported as revenues of temporarily restricted net assets. The restrictions are considered to be released at the time of acquisition of such long-lived assets.
    Net assets are released from donor restrictions by incurring expenses satisfying the restricted purposes or by occurrence of events specified by the donors or by the change of restrictions specified by the donors. Generally, the releases of restrictions are for scholarships and capital projects.

Federal Income Tax • The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as a public charity described in Section 501(c)(3).

Annuities Payable • The carrying value of annuities payable is actuarially determined based on the present value of the discounted estimated future cash flows using current market interest rates.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 — Investments
   The fair value of investments held by the Foundation at June 30, 2005 and 2004 is summarized as follows:

  2005 2004
U.S. Government securities $ 1,448,103 $ 1,779,515
Mutual funds    
    Equity 1,827,798 1,303,726
    Fixed income 978,352 1,063,167
    Common stock 5,282,673 4,937,777
Total $ 9,536,926  $ 9,084,185

   Investment income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is composed of the following:

  2005 2004
Interest and dividends $ 174,729 $ 153,709
Investment fees (69,222) (57,700)
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments 673,190 834,124
Total $ 778,697 $ 930,133

Note 3 — Contributions Receivable
   Contributions receivable at June 30, 2005 and 2004 are promises to give from various donors that are unconditional. Pledges that will not be received in the subsequent year have been discounted to present value using interest rates ranging from 1.6% to 5.3%. Contributions receivable are due as follows:
 
2005 2004
Less than one year $ 6,862 $ 5,805
One to five years 71,947 98,539
More than five years 57,464 72,196
Total contributions receivable 136,273 176,540
Less: provision for uncollectible pledges (3,407) (4,414)
Net contributions receivable $ 132,866 $ 172,126

   As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Foundation had cash surrender value of insurance policies of $121,295 and 112,816 respectively. These amounts are shown as other assets on the statement of financial position. The face value of these policies as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 of $1,056,773 and 1,056,221 is not reflected in the statement of financial position.
   The Foundation has received conditional promises to give totaling approximately $2,400,000 as of June 30, 2005 that have not been recognized as assets in the statement of financial position. These gifts are primarily in the form of bequests, which are deemed conditional due to their revocable nature.

Note 4 — Split-Interest Agreements
   The Foundation has been named charitable remainder beneficiary in various charitable remainder trusts administered by an outside trustee. These trusts provide, among other matters, that the trustee shall pay to beneficiaries periodic payments until either the assets of the trust have been exhausted or death of the beneficiaries. Upon death of the beneficiaries, the Foundation’s designated share of all property in the trust will be transferred to the Foundation in accordance with the agreements
.
   The Foundation accounts for such agreements by recording the fair market value of assets donated netted against the present value of the annuities payable, based on the terms of the agreement as contributions receivable from remainder trusts. The excess of the fair market value of the donated assets over the liability is recorded as unrestricted support in the year of the gift, unless the donor has placed restrictions on the use of the gift, in which case the excess is recorded as an addition to temporarily or permanently restricted net assets.

Note 5 — Restricted Net Assets
   Temporarily and permanently restricted net assets at June 30, 2005 are restricted for the following purposes:

 
 

Temporarily

   Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Foundation to a concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of
contributions receivable and investments.
   The Foundation maintains a custodial account with U.S. Bank N.A., Private Client, Trust and Asset Management Division. U.S. Bank maintains insurance coverage against major losses. Policies currently in place include an errors and omission policy, employee fidelity bond, blanket lost original instruments bond, and master trust property policy. Coverage is provided by insurance companies which U.S. Bank management believes to be financially sound, and is maintained at levels which U.S. Bank considers reasonable given the size and scope of its operations. Insurance coverage is approved annually by the U.S. Bank Board of Directors.

Note 7 — Distribution to Shawnee State University
  
The Foundation made distributions to, or on behalf of the University of $548,254 during the year ended June 30, 2005 and $434,195 during the year ended June 30, 2004. Administrative expenses of $122,321 in fiscal year 2005 and $117,063 during fiscal year 2004 were reimbursed to Shawnee State University for direct costs, including an appropriate allocation of salary and benefits, incurred in the management of the Foundation’s endowment funds.

Report of Independent Auditors 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

Board of Trustees
Shawnee State University Development Foundation
Portsmouth, Ohio

    We have audited the financial statements of Shawnee State University Development Foundation (the Foundation) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005, and have issued our report thereon dated September 1, 2005. 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
    In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Foundation’s internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weakness.

Compliance and Other Matters

    As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Foundations’ 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. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Trustees and management, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
