Agenda Item Background
| To: | Board of Regents\nFinance and Business Committee | Date:\nApril 26, 2013 |
| From: | Ms. Anita Lockridge Vice President for\nFinance Administration | |
| Subject: | Budget vs. Actual | |
| Reason for\nConsideration: | Informational | Enclosures: Yes |
Background: Revenues and expenses are presented for the Educational and General Fund (E&G), Auxiliary Fund, Land Grant and Action Agenda Funds. Budget vs. Actual does not include restricted grants and contracts.
The summary of operations presented below is to assist in understanding the results reflected in the budget vs. actual report as of March 2013.
The state appropriates funds for Land Grant as required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Land Grant, Action Agenda and Auxiliary Funds are not available to the University for discretionary spending.
## Revenue
- State appropriations are received in installments of 30% (July), 25% (October), 25% (January) and 20% (April) of each year. At March 2013, $18.8 million (80%) of appropriations have been received.
- Student Tuition and Fees have been posted for Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 enrollment. Auxiliary revenues represent housing and board for resident students enrolled for Fall 2012 and Spring 2013. Student tuition and fees revenue amounts may decrease for the Spring 2013 semester due to student withdrawals after they have enrolled.
===== PAGE 12 =====
Other revenue includes athletic income, indirect cost recovery, facility rentals, interest income, state funding for Regional Stewardship and fund balance reserve.
## Expense
• Salaries and benefits expenses are at 66.3% of the revised budget.
• Supplies, Travel, Communications and Services were expended at a level appropriate for the percent of fiscal year expired. These expenses are incurred more heavily during the academic year. Services include utilities and other services used for fall semester preparation. This variance is considered normal.
- Interdepartmental Costs may reflect reductions in expenses which are due to timing in recording journal entries. Fixed Costs include maintenance agreements that require payment in full at the beginning of the service agreement; therefore, these expenses are not incurred evenly over the fiscal year. This variance is considered normal.
- Student Aid should be recorded consistent with Tuition and Fees. Student Aid is typically recorded as students complete the registration process and accepts aid awards.
• Transfers include debt service obligations and internal reallocations. Transfers are typically recorded at the beginning of the fiscal year. This variance is considered normal.
## Recommendation: None

The remainder is current operating cash that will be available for current operations during the year.
2. Accounts receivable totaling $15.1 million and $15.3 million for March 2013 and 2012, respectively, includes the receivables from students, grants and loans.

Accrued compensated absences total $1.7 million and Deferred Revenue totals $1.4 million as of March 31, 2013. There is a variance of $1.3 million in current liabilities primarily due to processing of payroll related deductions.
===== PAGE 16 =====
4. As of March 2013, net assets reflect a $944,888 increase primarily due to an increase in a gain in market value of endowment investment income, increase in net capital assets, decrease in bonds and capital lease obligations, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

7. Operating expenses for March 2013 decreased by $4.6 million compared to operating expenses in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to one month Board approved wage increase granted in December 2011 that is not represented in March 2013 and other decreases in wages.
8. The Statement of Cash Flows reflects a net decrease of $2.4 million at March 31, 2013. Operations consumed $19.4 million and $25.8 million in March 2013 and 2012, respectively.
