Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Trustees

Oregon State University Foundation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of the Oregon State University Foundation as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Oregon State University Foundation as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) General

The Oregon State University Foundation (the Foundation) was incorporated in 1947 to encourage, receive, and administer gifts and bequests for the support of Oregon State University (the University).The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees with a membership of forty-two at June 30, 2014.

During 1999, the Foundation implemented an agreement with the University to assume all fundraising responsibilities for the University. As a result, the Foundation has added to its investment management and fiduciary responsibilities, those fundraising and related services such as marketing, donor relations, and stewardship.

The Foundation is an organization exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(a)(iv) of the Internal Revenue Code and is generally not subject to federal or state income taxes. However, the Foundation is subject to income taxes on any net income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on, and not in furtherance of the purposes for which it was granted exemption. No income tax provision has been recorded as the taxable net income, if any, from any unrelated trade or business, in the opinion of management, is not material to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

(b) Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

(c) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements of the Foundation and operating affiliates and associates have been consolidated and all significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating affiliates and associates consist of the Our Beaver Nation Fund, Oregon 4-H Foundation, Trysting Tree Golf Club, Inc., and Harvey Ranch, Inc.

In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, net assets that have similar characteristics have been combined into similar categories as follows:

Permanently Restricted – Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the Foundation. Such assets consist primarily of the Foundation’s permanent endowment funds. Generally, the donors of these assets permit the Foundation’s use of all or part of the investment return on these assets.

Temporarily Restricted – Net assets whose use by the Foundation is subject to donor-imposed stipulations that can be fulfilled by actions of the Foundation pursuant to those stipulations or that expire with the passage of time.

contractual agreements with outside parties. Unless otherwise designated, unrestricted net assets are used for the support of University programs.

Revenue is reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless their use is limited by donor-imposed restrictions. Expenses are generally reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. Expirations of donor-imposed stipulations are reported as net assets released from restrictions. (d) Contributions and Pledges

Contributions, including unconditional pledges, are recognized as revenue in the period received. Unconditional pledges that extend beyond one year are recorded at present value, which approximates fair value, and an allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the prior collection history of pledged contributions. Conditional pledges are not recognized until they become unconditional; that is, when the donor-imposed conditions are substantially met. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of gift.

All contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted by the donor for specific purposes are reported as temporarily restricted or permanently restricted support that increases those net asset classes. When a temporary restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the consolidated statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

(e) Investments

Investments are in marketable debt and equity securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, mutual funds, and investments in partnerships and are stated at fair value. Real estate is recorded at fair value on the date of the gift. Mortgage notes and contracts are initially recorded at face value and are collateralized by the associated real estate. Interest on mortgage notes receivable is recognized when earned. Mortgage notes and contracts are reviewed annually to assess credit risks. Uncollectible notes are written off upon approval of the Board of Trustees. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, no mortgage notes or contracts were deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts was established.

Net gains and losses on investments include realized and unrealized gains and losses. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are computed based on the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value of the asset. Unrealized gains and losses result from changes in the fair value of investments.

(g) Charitable Trusts Held Outside the Foundation

Charitable trusts held outside the Foundation are trusts established and administered by a donor or a third party. These trusts may be a lead, remainder, or perpetual trust. Charitable lead trusts are trusts established and funded by donors that provide distributions to the Foundation over a specified period. Lead trusts are measured at the present value of the future distributions expected to be received by the Foundation. The Foundation is also the recipient for charitable remainder trusts. Upon termination of a charitable remainder trust, the assets of the trust are transferred to the Foundation. These trusts are measured at their fair value. Perpetual trusts provide the Foundation the right, in perpetuity, to the income earned on the assets of the trust. The Foundation’s beneficial interest in a perpetual trust is measured at estimated fair value. Donors may restrict the use of lead, remainder, and perpetual trust contributions.

(h) Property, Equipment, and Assets Held-for-Sale

Real property and equipment are capitalized if the asset is expected to provide a benefit for more than one year. Real property, equipment, and assets held-for-sale are recorded at cost except for donated assets, which are recorded at fair value on the date of donation. Depreciation is computed for purchased operating equipment of the Foundation based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3 to 7 years. Real property and equipment held-for-sale or held-for-transfer to the University are not depreciated.

The property and equipment held by the Trysting Tree Golf Club, Inc. are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Management reviews the carrying value of capitalized assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. This review considers, among other factors, (1) the net realizable value of each major classification of assets, (2) the cash flow associated with the asset, and (3) significant changes in the extent or manner in which major assets are used. Management believes the carrying value of assets is less than the estimated fair value.

Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposal of real property, equipment, and other assets are computed based on the difference between the proceeds received and the net carrying value of the asset.

between 2.0% and 2.4% and 1.2% and 3%, respectively. The discount rate varied between 1.2% and 10.6% for the Foundation’s entire portfolio of gift annuities and remainder trusts at June 30, 2014 and 2013.

(j) Other Liabilities

Other liabilities consist of accrued reimbursements payable to the University, payroll and related liabilities, and other accrued operational expenses of the Foundation.

(k) Fundraising Costs

Fundraising costs totaled approximately $12,454,323 and $11,319,212 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in management, general, and development expenses on the consolidated statements of activities.

(l) 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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(m) Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2013 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2014 presentation.

(2) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased, consist of the following at June 30:

2014 2013

Cash in interest-bearing accounts $ 9,741,494 26,428,349

(a) Board Interpretation of Relevant Law

The Board of Trustees of the Foundation has interpreted the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Foundation 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 Foundation in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA. In accordance with UPMIFA, the Foundation considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds:

a. The duration and preservation of the fund

b. The purposes of the Foundation and the donor-restricted endowment fund c. General economic conditions

d. The possible effect of inflation and deflation

e. The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments f. Other resources of the Foundation

g. The investment policies of the Foundation

Permanently restricted net assets of the Foundation are comprised primarily of donor-restricted endowment funds. The funds are consolidated under the Pooled Investment Program. In addition to these funds, permanently restricted net assets contain charitable gift annuities and remainder trusts where the Foundation is the trustee. At the point that these annuities and remainder trusts terminate, the proceeds realized will be transferred to the Pooled Investment Program. Donors may also donate to the Foundation, physical assets such as property or funds held in trust outside the Foundation for permanently restricted purposes. The Foundation categorizes these assets as Nonpooled investments. At the point proceeds are realized from these assets held outside the Foundation, they are transferred either to the Pooled Investment Program or a specific program as designated by the donor.

(b) Pooled Endowment Funds with Deficiencies (Underwater)

From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor or UPMIFA requires the Foundation to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. As a result of the unfavorable financial market conditions over the past several years, the fair value of certain endowment assets was less than the related donor-restricted amounts. These deficiencies were determined to be $10,623,105 and $22,089,212 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The reporting of such deficiencies as a reduction of Foundation controlled unrestricted net assets does not legally create an affirmative obligation of the Foundation to restore the fair value of those funds from Foundation controlled unrestricted assets. (c) Return Objectives and Risk Parameters

(d) Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives

To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Foundation 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 Foundation targets a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis monetarily on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints.

(e) Pooled Investment Program Spending Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to Spending Policy

The Foundation has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year 4.5% of its pooled endowment fund’s average fair value over the prior 12 quarters through the quarter-end that precedes the quarter in which the distribution occurs. In establishing this policy, the Foundation considered the long-term expected return on its endowment and its objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment returns. Spending distributions are monitored and potentially limited for individual endowment accounts if the fair value of that account is less than the corpus.

(5) Fair Value Measurements

Investments are reported at estimated fair value as determined by the Foundation, based upon a fair value hierarchy, adopted in July 2008, which prioritizes the input techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements:

Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Foundation has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.

Inputs are used in applying valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. In addition to the underlying reported net asset values (NAV), which generally serve as the primary valuation input, other inputs may include liquidity factors and broad credit data. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for market and/or other risk factors.

(11) Retirement Plan

Employees of the Foundation participate in a money purchase retirement plan covering substantially all employees with at least one year of service, and vest generally after four years of service. The Foundation is obligated to contribute 17% of all eligible employees’ salaries, including the six-month period prior to eligibility, up to federal limits. The Foundation’s contributions to the employee directed accounts amounted to approximately $1,518,000 and $1,383,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(12) Assets Held under Split-Interest Agreements

The Foundation receives certain planned gift donations in the form of charitable gift annuities and remainder trusts. A charitable gift annuity is an arrangement between a donor and the Foundation in which the assets contributed by the donor are provided in exchange for a promise by the Foundation to pay a fixed amount for a period of time to the donor or designated beneficiary. Upon completion of the agreed term (usually the beneficiary’s death), the remaining value of the gift annuity reverts to the Foundation to be used in accordance with the original annuity agreement.
