2011 President's Report

Message from the President

Reflections on a Remarkable Decade “Are we there yet?” It’s the classic backseat query on family road trips.

When it comes to the eventful journey our University of Miami family is taking together, the answer is always “Not just yet.”

Indeed, for dynamic institutions like ours, “there” seems always to be just down the road and around the next bend. We are continually making key decisions at major crossroads and fine-tuning our itinerary as unexpected opportunities and unforeseen challenges emerge.

A number is just a number, and the imaginary odometer measuring the ground we have covered on our shared excursion reflects not only previous destinations but ongoing discoveries. Still, my tenth anniversary on the job here at UM represents a mile marker of sorts—an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going.

Ten years ago I spoke of our mission in terms of preparing students for assuming roles as tomorrow’s leaders. Advancing knowledge in academic disciplines across the board. Moving into the top ranks of biomedical discovery and patient care. And serving as an active partner in our community’s future. I committed the University to “sowing seeds of excellence” in every sphere: from classrooms to concert halls, theatres to research labs, art studios to athletic fields.

Today we have achieved all these goals, and so much more. The magnificent successes of the past decade are the work of many hands, and any laurels earned do not rest solely on the shoulders of one administration or even one generation.

University University of Miami of Miami 20112011 President’s President’s Report Report 1

At my inauguration ceremony ten years ago, I described the University as the beating heart of Miami, and Miami itself as “el mundo”—the world.

Today, having lived for a decade in this beautiful, diverse, and endlessly fascinating region, I still see our city and our place in it that way— more vividly than ever.

Standing on Strong Shoulders As the University of Miami’s fifth president, I inherited a strong and stable foundation from my predecessors. Their vision of what the University could be and their steady strides toward realizing that

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 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 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 30 University of Miami 2011 President’s Report

University of Miami 2011 President’s Report 33

129.5

N ot e s to F i n a n c i a l Stat e m e n t s May 31, 2011 and 2010

1. Organization The University of Miami (the University) is a private not-for-profit institution located in South Florida. Founded in 1925, the University owns and operates educational and research facilities as well as a health care system. Its mission is to educate and nurture students, to create knowledge through innovative research programs, and to provide service to our community and beyond by pursuing excellence in health care.

These financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which the University has a significant financial interest, and over which the University has control, including its hospitals and clinics.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these statements.

34 University of Miami 2011 President’s Report

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices Basis of Presentation The financial statements of the University, including its hospitals and clinics, have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for not-for-profit organizations.

The three net asset categories as reflected in the accompanying financial statements are as follows: Unrestricted - Net assets which are free of donor-imposed restrictions. It includes the University’s investment in property and equipment and amounts designated by management for support of operations, programs, and facilities expansion. The University has determined that any donor-imposed restrictions for current or developing programs and activities are generally met within the operating cycle of the University and, therefore, the University’s policy is to record these net assets as unrestricted. This category includes all revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are not changes in permanently or temporarily restricted net assets. It also includes realized and unrealized gains on endowment and other long-term investments, even though the University’s policy is to reinvest such earnings for future growth and to use these earnings in accordance with donor stipulations as to the original gift corpus.

Unrestricted non-operating activities reflect transactions of a long-term investment or capital nature including net realized and unrealized investment gains not used to support current operations as well as contributions to be used for facilities and equipment.

Temporarily Restricted - Net assets whose use by the University is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire with the passage of time or that can be fulfilled or removed by actions of the University pursuant to those stipulations. These net assets are available for program purposes, i.e., education, research, public service, and scholarships, as well as for buildings and equipment.

Permanently Restricted - Net assets whose use by the University is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire with the passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the University. These net assets are invested in perpetuity, the income from which is expended for program purposes, i.e., education, research, public service, and scholarships.

Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements requires management of the University to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes The University is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements. At May 31, 2011, there were no uncertain tax positions.

Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Investments Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See note 5 for fair value measurements.

The University’s investments include various types of investment securities which are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition Tuition and fees revenue is reported in the fiscal year in which educational programs are primarily conducted. Scholarships and fellowships awarded to students for tuition, fees, and room and board are based upon need and merit, and are netted against tuition and fees, and auxiliary enterprises revenue in the statements of activities as follows (in millions):

Total amount netted against tuition and fees revenue

$ 166.1

$ 152.2

11.2

10.3

Gifts of cash, property and marketable securities are recorded as revenue when received. Unconditional pledges (note 4) are recognized as revenue based on the estimated present value of the future cash flows, net of allowances, when the commitment is received. Pledges made and collected in the same reporting period are recorded when received in the appropriate net asset category. Conditional pledges are recorded as revenue only when donor stipulations are substantially met.

Grants and contracts revenue is recognized as expenses are incurred.

Medical professional practice, and hospitals and clinics revenue (patient care revenue) are recorded based upon established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments. Revenues are recorded in the period the services are provided based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payors, including federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances represent the difference between established rates for services and amounts reimbursed by third-party payors based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Third party payors’ contractual payment terms are generally based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates or discounted fee-for-service rates.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount. The estimated reimbursement amounts are adjusted in subsequent periods as cost reports are prepared and filed and as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provisions for adjustments that may result from such reviews and audits have been made through May 31, 2011, in the accompanying financial statements.

Revenue received before it is earned is deferred.

Annuities Payable and Trusts Held by Others Certain gift annuities, charitable lead and remainder annuity trust agreements have been entered into with donors. Assets held under these agreements are valued at fair value based on either the present value of expected cash flows or the value of the University’s share of the underlying assets. These assets are included in trusts held by others on the statements of financial position, except for gift

N ot e s to F i n a n c i a l Stat e m e n t s May 31, 2011 and 2010

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices (continued) Annuities Payable and Trusts Held by Others (continued) annuities which are included in investments. Gift annuities included in investments totaled $19.2 and $17.3 million at May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Generally, revenue from gift annuities and trusts is recognized at the date the agreements are established net of liabilities for the present value of the estimated future payments to donors and/or other beneficiaries.

The liabilities are adjusted during the term of the trusts for changes in the value of the assets, accretion of the discount, and other changes in the estimates of future benefits.

The University is also the beneficiary of certain perpetual trusts which are also included in trusts held by others on the statements of financial position. The fair value of the trusts, which are based on either the present value of the estimated future cash receipts or the fair value of the assets held in the trust, are recognized as assets and gift and trust revenue as of the date the University is notified of the establishment of the trust. Distributions from the trusts are recorded as gift and trust revenue, and the carrying value of the assets is adjusted for changes in fair value.

Insurance The University manages property and liability risks through a combination of commercial insurance policies and self-insurance.

The University is self-insured for medical professional liability and maintains commercial excess loss coverage within specified limits.

Provisions for medical professional liability claims and related costs are based on several factors, including an annual actuarial study using a discount rate of 3% as of May 31, 2011 and 2010.

Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is not recorded on land and art objects. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life.

Intangible Assets The University records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Until May 31, 2010, goodwill was amortized over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Effective June 1, 2010, the University adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 958-805, and as a result goodwill is no longer amortized. The University is now required to assess goodwill for impairment annually at March 31, or more frequently if circum-

Facilities and Administrative Cost Recovery The Federal government reimburses the University for facilities and administrative costs incurred in connection with research grants and contracts based on predetermined rates through 2011. Facilities and administrative cost recovery from government and private sources included in grant and contract revenues totaled $72.5 and $65.7 million during the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Facilities Expenses Facilities related expenses have been allocated across applicable functional expense categories in the statements of activities based on space usage (in millions):

Accounting Change due to New Pronouncements In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Update No. 2009-05 to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This amendment provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more prescribed techniques. The amendment also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The amendment further clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required, are Level 1 fair value measurements under the fair value hierarchy. The University adopted this amendment for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, which requires new disclosures and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. This amendment also clarifies that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques are required for both Level 2 and Level 3 measurements. With the exception of the following sentences, the amendment is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The University adopted this portion of the amendment for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.

The amendment further clarifies that the reconciliation of Level 3 measurements should separately present purchases, sales, issuances and settlements instead of netting these changes. This portion of the amendment is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and has not yet been adopted.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-07 to ASC 958805 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 164, Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions). This amendment provides guidance for determining whether a combination of not-for-profit entities is a merger or an acquisition. The standard requires the application of the carryover method in accounting for a merger and the acquisition method in accounting for an acquisition, and provides guidance on determining which of the combining entities is the acquirer. It requires disclosure of information to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of

University of Miami 2011 President’s Report 35

Medical School Faculty physicians, in addition to teaching and conducting research, engage in the practice of medicine, which generates patient care revenue. Revenues and expenses, including compensation and administrative operations from the practice of medicine, are reflected as University revenues and expenses. The net assets of patient care activities are designated for medical school programs.

The University and the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida (PHT), owner and operator of Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH), have entered into an affiliation agreement related to their independent missions within the designated land and facilities that comprise the Jackson Memorial Medical Center. Pursuant to that agreement, the PHT provides clinical facilities for the teaching of the University’s medical students. Medical education of its students is the sole responsibility of the University. In addition, the University has agreed to permit its faculty to apply for privileges at JMH to train and supervise JMH house staff (interns, residents, and fellows) and to treat hospital patients in their capacity as members of JMH’s attending medical staff. All such treatment and training is the sole responsibility of the PHT in its capacity as the legal owner and operator of the Jackson Health System’s public hospitals and clinics and its statutory teaching hospital (JMH). The affiliation agreement provides the terms for the mutual reimbursement of services provided.

stances indicate impairment may have occurred. The University assesses goodwill for such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the hospital to its estimated fair value. The fair value of the hospital is determined utilizing discounted cash flows, comparative market multiples and other factors. In its determination of fair value, the University incorporates assumptions that it believes marketplace participants would utilize (note 9).

N ot e s to F i n a n c i a l Stat e m e n t s May 31, 2011 and 2010

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices (continued) Accounting Change due to New Pronouncements (continued) a merger or an acquisition. This amendment also amends ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets), to make it fully applicable to not-for-profit entities. This amendment was adopted by the University for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2010.

As a result of adopting ASC 958-805, goodwill is no longer amortized and its carrying value is reviewed for impairment annually (note 9).

In July 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-20 - ASC 310, Receivables: Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This amendment requires enhanced disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the following: the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables; how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The University adopted this standard for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets) requires that long-lived assets to be held by an entity, including intangible assets, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No asset impairments were recorded by the University in fiscal years 2011 or 2010.

Subsequent events The University evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to May 31, 2011, through August 26, 2011, the date of issuance of the financial statements. During this period, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition in the financial statements.

Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current years’ presentation.

3. Accounts and Loans Receivable At May 31, accounts and loans receivable consist of the following (in millions):

2011 2010 Accounts and loans receivable, net: Patient care $ 210.4 $ 192.6 Grants, contracts and other 64.6 103.7 Shared appreciation mortgages 49.6 50.6 Student 5.1 5.6 Student loans, net 29.6 29.4 Total

$ 359.3

$ 381.9

Accounts and loans receivable, and student loans receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $123.9 and $1.0 million, respectively, for 2011 and $113.7 and $1.1 million, respectively, for 2010.

Shared appreciation mortgages were provided as part of a program to attract and retain excellent faculty and senior administrators through home mortgage financing assistance. Shared appreciation notes amounting to $52.1 and $53.1 million (net of $2.5 million allowance for doubtful accounts) at May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from University faculty and senior administrators are collateralized by second mortgages on residential properties. The program was suspended effective December 31, 2008 with limited exceptions.

Student loans are made primarily pursuant to federal programs and availability of funding. The related receivables have significant government restrictions as to marketability, interest rates, and repayment terms. Their fair value is not readily determinable.

4. Contributions Receivable (Pledges) Unconditional pledges are recorded at the present value of their future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. They are expected to be realized in the following periods at May 31, (in millions):

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The valuation methodologies used for other investment instruments measured at fair value consisted of: Variable Rate Swap Agreement The University entered into an interest rate swap agreement in fiscal 2005 to manage the market risk associated with outstanding variablerate debt. Parties to the interest rate swap agreement are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates as well as risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. The University deals only with high quality counterparties that meet rating criteria for financial stability and creditworthiness. The estimated cumulative fair value loss of the swap agreement was $3.7 and $2.8 million for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and is included in other investments in the tables that follow. Changes in the fair value, which for fiscal 2011 and 2010 amounted to an unrealized loss of $.9 million, are recorded as non-operating activities in the statements of activities. The notional amount was $19.5 and $20.0 million for fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements Investments The fair market value of investments at May 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $869.2 and $766.3 million, with a cost basis of $742.9 and $739.0 million, respectively. Short term investments consist primarily of commercial paper with maturities in excess of three months.

Amounts included in limited partnerships and limited liability companies, other, represent alternative investments which are valued at the net asset value of the entities as determined by the fund. The majority of investments are combined in investment pools with each individual account subscribing to or disposing of shares on the basis of the fair value per share. At May 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the University’s primary investment pool (the Growth Pool) amounted to $816.3 and $695.2 million, with a cost basis of $695.1 and $668.5 million, respectively. The Growth Pool is managed by multiple investment managers with asset allocation per the University’s investment policy.

The total net unrealized gain on investments for the year ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 was $97.8 and $65.3 million, respectively.

FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement), 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 following describes the hierarchy of inputs used to measure fair value and the primary valuation methodologies used by the University for investments measured at fair value: Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities and federal agency mortgage-backed securities, which are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Inputs to the valuation

N ot e s to F i n a n c i a l Stat e m e n t s May 31, 2011 and 2010

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

methodologies include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Valuations for assets traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Inputs to the valuation methodologies include quoted prices from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets in active and/or inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 — Valuations for assets that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Inputs to the valuation methodologies incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The University utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at May 31, 2011.

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the University’s assets at fair value (in millions):

The University’s investment policy and strategy for its investments, as established by the Investment Committee of the Board (the Committee) and ratified by the Executive Committee of the Board, is to provide for growth of capital with a moderate level of volatility by investing assets based on its target allocations. The weighted average target allocations for University assets is 45% equity securities, 10% fixed income, and 45% other investments. The Committee reallocates its investments periodically to meet established target allocations.

In addition, the Committee reviews its investment policy and target allocations periodically and affects changes when required, in ensuring that strategic objectives are achieved. Equity securities include

investments in large-mid cap and small-cap companies primarily located in the United States, as well as international companies.

Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. Treasuries. Other investments include investments in hedge funds, private equity funds, and real estate funds. These investments are made with the intention of raising portfolio return and lowering total volatility which as of May 31, 2011 consists of investments similar to those of the HRFI Fund of Funds, S&P 500, Dow Jones, AIG Commodity, NCREIF Property and MSCI Indexes.

Investment Return The University’s endowment spending distribution policy is to distribute five percent of the three-year moving average fair market value of the endowment investment pool. This policy is designed to protect the purchasing power of the endowment and to minimize the effect of capital market fluctuations on operating budgets.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, patient, student and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of notes payable with variable interest rates approximate their fair value since the variable rates reflect current market rates for notes with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair value of bonds payable with fixed interest rates is based on rates assumed to be currently available for bond issues with similar terms and average maturities. The estimated fair value of these bonds payable at May 31, 2011 and 2010 approximated $756.8 and $795.1 million, respectively. The carrying amounts of these bonds payable at May 31, 2011 and 2010 approximated $781.3 and $799.7 million, respectively.

7. Other Assets Other assets primarily represent prepaid expenses and inventories.

During September 2010, the University entered into a tri-party agreement with the Public Health Trust (PHT) and Miami-Dade County wherein the receivable associated with the annual operating agreement was converted to a prepaid asset. The value of the receivable at September 30, 2010 was $73.9 million, and included a long-term land lease with a discounted value of $14.1 million. The University will receive goods, rentals, and services in the normal course of business with the PHT until the prepaid asset is exhausted. At May 31, 2011, the remaining prepaid asset under this agreement, after application of purchased services for the months of October 2010 through May 2011, was $60.5 million. Based on the repayment terms of the agreement, the balance of the prepaid should be exhausted by March 1, 2014, with the exception of the long-term land lease which extends through 2080.

9. Intangible Assets On December 1, 2007, the University acquired certain assets and liabilities of a general acute care hospital. As part of the transaction, intangible assets were recorded amounting to $105.2 million. In addition, the University acquired a physician practice and recorded $1.7 million as an intangible asset for the year ended May 31, 2010. In accordance with ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other), amortization of intangible assets ceased at May 31, 2010.

10. Endowment In August 2008, the FASB issued ASC 958-205-50 (formerly FASB Staff Position 117-1, Endowments of Not-for-Profit Organizations: Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment Funds). This standard provides guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a nonprofit organization that is subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 (UPMIFA). This standard also requires additional disclosures about an organization’s endowment funds, whether or not the organization is subject to UPMIFA. The disclosure requirements of this standard are reflected below. On June 17, 2011, the State of Florida enacted a version of UPMIFA which becomes effective July 1, 2012. Generally, the law governs conduct in the management and investment of institutional funds, the expenditure or accumulation of endowment funds, and the release or modification of restrictions on the management or investment of institutional funds. The Board of Trustees of the University (the Board) will need to interpret the new law and adopt any necessary changes prior to the law’s effective date.

N ot e s to F i n a n c i a l Stat e m e n t s May 31, 2011 and 2010

10. Endowment (continued) Interpretation of Relevant Law As discussed above, the State of Florida has now enacted UPMIFA which is effective July 1, 2012. The Board has interpreted the current law, Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act (UMIFA) as requiring preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date, 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 where the donor has stipulated that the principal is to be maintained in perpetuity with only the income from the gift to be expended, (b) the original value of subsequent similar type gifts, and (c) accumulations to the fund made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument. Endowments are classified as temporarily restricted where the donor has stipulated that the principal of the gift may be released from inviolability to permit all or part of the principal to be expended, and as unrestricted endowments where the Board, rather than a donor, decides to retain and invest the principal with only the income available to be expended. The Board has the right at any time to expend the principal of unrestricted endowments.

Spending Policy The University’s endowment spending distribution policy in support of its programs distributes five percent of the three-year moving average of the fair market value of the endowment investment pool.

New endowments must be received prior to December 31 in order to activate the spending distribution for the next fiscal year. In addition, no distribution is made from an endowment until its funding reaches,

by December 31, the level stipulated by policy. Further, endowments to establish Chairs and Professorships have an additional delay of one year before distributions are made.

11. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The University has two non-contributory retirement plans, the Faculty Retirement Plan and the Employee Retirement Plan. These two plans were closed to employees hired after May 31, 2007. Effective June 1, 2007 a new retirement plan was established, the Retirement Savings Plan.

The University also sponsors an unfunded, defined benefit postretirement health plan that covers all full-time and part-time regular employees who elect coverage and satisfy the plan’s eligibility requirements when they retire. The plan is contributory with retiree contributions established as a percentage of the total cost for retiree health care and for the health care of their dependents. The University pays all benefits on a current basis.

University of Miami 2011 President’s Report 41

Return Objectives and Risk Parameters The University has adopted investment and spending policies to protect the purchasing power of the endowment and to minimize the effect of capital market fluctuations on operating budgets.

The intent of the University’s policy for its primary investment pool (the Growth Pool), as approved by the Board, is to achieve a rate of return equal to or greater than the respective benchmark, while assuming a moderate level of risk. To satisfy its long-term rate-ofreturn objectives, the University relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The University targets a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints. The current long-term return objective is to earn a return of at least the Consumer Price Index plus 5%, net of fees. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount.

Endowment net assets consist of the following (in millions):

Donor restricted endowment funds included in unrestricted endowment net assets represents the unappropriated appreciation of endowment funds, net of deficiencies in the market value of certain endowment related assets which fell below the donor required level to retain funds in perpetuity. At May 31, 2011 and 2010, this deficiency amounted to $2.9 and $14.1 million, respectively, and resulted from unfavorable market fluctuations that occurred shortly after the investment of new permanently restricted contributions, as well as continued appropriations for certain programs that was deemed prudent.

Quasi endowment funds are resources segregated for long term investment and include gains and losses on unrestricted investments, and other resources designated by the Board of Trustees for future programs and operations.

Changes in endowment net assets for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 consist of (in millions):

11. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued)

The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid, for the fiscal years ending May 31 (in millions):

The Retirement Savings Plan (Savings Plan) is a defined contribution plan in which the University makes an automatic core contribution of 5% of pay with a dollar-for-dollar match on voluntary contributions up to an additional 5% of pay once the employee meets certain eligibility requirements. Eligible employees can begin making voluntary contributions to the Savings Plan at any time. Participation is limited to faculty and staff hired on or after June 1, 2007 or who elected, prior to June 1, 2007, to transfer to this plan from the Faculty Retirement Plan or from the Employee Retirement Plan. Core and matching contributions to the Savings Plan for 2011 and 2010 were $29.0 and $27.7 million, respectively.

The Retirement Savings Plan II (Savings Plan II) is a defined contribution plan the University established, effective January 1, 2008, that covers substantially all employees of the University of Miami Hospital (UMH). The plan is available to employees who meet certain eligibility requirements and requires that UMH match certain percentages of participants’ contributions up to certain maximum levels. Eligible employees can begin making voluntary contributions to the Savings Plan II at any time. Core and matching contributions to the Savings Plan II were approximately $4.9 and $3.9 million for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Faculty Retirement Plan (Faculty Plan) is a defined contribution plan for eligible faculty hired between September 30, 1977 and May 31, 2007, and certain faculty hired on or before September 30, 1977, who ceased participation in the Employee Retirement Plan. Under the terms of the Faculty Plan, the University makes contributions to individual retirement accounts for each eligible faculty member.

Payment from the retirement account commences when the faculty member has separated from service and elects to begin distributions in accordance with plan provisions.

Contributions to the Faculty Plan are based upon a combination of compensation, tenure status, length of service, and other factors and are funded as accrued. These contributions were $24.1 and $25.5 million for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In addition to the above noted plans, there are deferred compensation arrangements for certain employees, principally clinical faculty, the liability for which is included in other liabilities.

The Employee Retirement Plan (Employee Plan) is a defined benefit plan primarily for full-time non-faculty employees hired before June 1, 2007. Employee Plan assets are held by a Trustee. The benefit is based on the higher of two formulas: a formula based on years of service and the employee’s compensation for the consecutive five year period of employment that produces the highest average; and a cash balance benefit formula determined each year based on compensation and investment earnings.

At May 31, 2009, a proposed Employee Plan amendment was approved by the Internal Revenue Service which enables the plan to offer lump sum distribution options to participants who retired on or after January 1, 2001 and met the Rule of 70 (combination of age and service).

The measurement date for the Employee Plan and postretirement health benefit plan is May 31 for fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

11. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued)

Employee Plan Assets The investment policy and strategy, as established by the University, is to provide for growth of capital with a moderate level of volatility by investing assets based on its target allocations. The weighted average target allocations for plan assets of the Employee Plan is 34.0% equity securities, 35.0% fixed income, and 31.0% other investments. The University reallocates its investments periodically to meet the target allocations. The University also reviews its investment policy periodically to determine if the policy or allocations require change. Equity securities include investments in large-mid cap and small-cap companies primarily located in the United States, as well as international companies. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgagebacked securities, and U.S. Treasuries. Other types of investments include investments in hedge funds and private equity funds that follow several different strategies. These investments are made with the intention of raising portfolio return and lowering total volatility which at May 31, 2011 consists of investments similar to those of the HFRI Fund of Funds, S&P 500, Dow Jones, AIC Commodity, MCSI and NCREIF Property Indexes. See note 5 for fair value measurement narrative disclosures.

The Employee Plan’s investments, by level, within the fair value hierarchy are as follows (in millions):
