Dear Dr. Erickson:
The audited consolidated financial statements of The Pennsylvania State University and subsidiaries (the "University")
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 are presented on the accompanying pages. These financial statements represent a complete and permanent record of the finances of the University for the year.These financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, and their report has been made a part of this record.Respectfully submitted, Joseph J. Doncsecz Associate Vice President for Finance and Corporate Controller David J. Grae Senior Vice President for Finance and Business, and Treasurer 4 Deloitte.1700 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19103-3984 USA Tel: 215 246 2300 Fax: 215 569 2441 www.delollue.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trustees of The Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of The Pennsylvania State University and subsidiaries (tile "University")
as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are tile responsibility of the University's management.
Our iresponsibility 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of tile University as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in tile United States of America.October 26, 2012 5 Member of Deloltte Touche Tohmatsu THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION ASSETS JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011 (in thousands)

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The University's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is the source of authoritative GAAP.The University's consolidated financial statements include statements of financial position, activities and cash flows. In accordance with FASB ASC requirements, net assets and the changes in net assets are classified as permanently restricted, temporarily restricted or unrestricted.
Permanently restricted net assets consist primarily of the historical amounts of endowed gifts. Additionally, contributions receivable and remainder interests, which are required by donors to be permanently retained, are included at their estimated net present values.Temporarily restricted net assets consist of contributions receivable and remainder interests whose ultimate use is not permanently restricted.
In addition, the excess of current market value over the historical cost of permanently restricted endowments is classified as temporarily restricted net assets.Unrestricted net assets are all the remaining net assets of the University.
Net unrealized losses on permanently restricted endowment funds for which historical cost exceeds market value are recorded as a reduction to unrestricted net assets.Revenue from temporarily restricted sources is reclassified as unrestricted revenue when the circumstances of the restriction have been fulfilled.
Donor-restricted revenues whose restrictions are met within the same fiscal year are reported as unrestricted income.11 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on the financial statements and the disclosure of contingencies and commitments.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Tuition revenue is recognized in the fiscal year in which the substantial portion of the educational term occurs.Institutional financial aid provided by the University for tuition and fees is reflected as a reduction of tuition and fee revenue. Revenues for auxiliary enterprises are recognized as the related goods and services are delivered and rendered.
Grant revenues are recognized as the eligible grant activities are conducted.
Payments received in advance for tuition, goods and services are deferred.Unconditional promises to give are recognized as revenues and receivables in the year made and consist of written or oral promises to contribute to the University in the future. Contributions receivable are recorded with the revenue assigned to the appropriate category of restriction.
The amounts are present valued based on timing of expected collections.
TMSHMC and Health System have agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to TMSHMC and Health System at amounts different from their established rates. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges and per diem payments.
Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined or such estimates change.TMSHMC provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. The Medical Center does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as net patient service revenue. The amounts of direct and indirect costs for services and supplies furnished under the Medical Center's charity care policy totaled approximately
$17.6 million and $12.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and is based on a ratio of the Medical Center's operational costs to its gross charges. The amount of charges forgone for services and supplies furnished under the Medical Center's charity policy during 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately
$51.7 million and $35.4 million, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The University has provided fair value estimates for certain financial instruments in the notes to the financial statements.
Fair value information presented in the financial statements is based on information available at June 30, 2012 and 2011. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the terms and relatively short maturity of these financial instruments.
The carrying values of the University's loans to students are also reasonable estimates of their fair value, as the total outstanding loans to students as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 have been made at the rates available to students for similar loans at such times. Investments are reported at fair value as disclosed in Note 3. The fair value of the University's bonds payable is disclosed in Note 7. See Note 5 for further discussion of fair value measurements.
12 Cash Flows The following items are included as supplemental disclosure to the statements of cash flows for the years ended June 30: (in thousands of dollars) 2012 2011 Interest paid $ 48,569 $ 50,862 Taxes paid 1,500 102 Non-cash acquisitions of land, buildings and equipment 11,638 10,371 Cash and cash equivalents include certain investments in highly liquid instruments with initial maturities of 90 days or less, except for such assets held by the University's investment managers as part of their long-term investment strategies.
Short-term investments include other current investments held for general operating purposes with maturities greater than three months but less than 12 months.Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable, net at June 30 consists of the following: (in thousands of dollars) 2012 2011 Grants and contracts, net of allowance of $1,241 and $1,260 $ 149,397 $ 141,503 Patient accounts receivable, net of allowance of $51,544 and $39,142 146,034 133,145 Student receivables, net of allowance of $5,418 and $4,258 42,805 34,053 Investment and interest receivable 16,967 30,558 Other, net of allowance of $4,014 and $3,436 27,970 26,049 Total accounts receivable, net $ 383,173 $ 365308 The University maintains allowances for doubtful accounts to reflect management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in receivable balances.
Management determines the allowances for doubtful accounts based on known factors, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.
Receivables are written off when management determines they will not be collected.
Related to patient accounts receivable associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, management analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts (for example, for expected uncollectible deductibles and copayments or for payors who are known to be having financial difficulties that make the realization of amounts due unlikely).
For receivables from self-pay patients the Medical Center and Health System records a provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible.
In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, account age is taken into consideration.
The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts for patient accounts receivable for 2012 reflects a higher volume of services to self-pay patients, as well as a deterioration in the collection rate of self-pay accounts.
For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, revenues from third-party payors and self-pay patients represents approximately 98% and 2%, respectively, of patient service revenues net of contractual allowances.
13 Loans to Students Loans to students are disbursed to qualified students based on need and include loans granted by the University from institutional resources and under federal government loan programs.
Students have a grace period until repayment is required based upon the earlier of graduation or no longer achieving at least half-time enrollment status. The grace period varies depending on the type of loan. Loans accrue interest after the grace period and are repaid directly to the University.
Loans to students are uncollateralized and carry default risk. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, student loans represent 0.6% of total assets.The availability of funds for loans under federal government revolving loan programs is dependent on reimbursements to the pool from repayments of outstanding loans. Funds advanced by the federal government of $44.5 million and $43.8 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are ultimately refundable to the government and are classified as liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Outstanding loans cancelled under the program result in a reduction of the funds available to loan and a decrease in the liability to the federal government.
At June 30, 2012 and 2011, loans to students consisted of the following: (in thousands of dollars)2012 2011 Loans to students: Federal government loan programs: Perkins loan program Health Professions Student Loans and Loans for Disadvantaged Students Federal government loan programs Institutional loan programs Less allowance for doubtful accounts: Balance, beginning of year Provision for doubtful accounts Balance, end of year Loans to students, net 42,294 285 42,579 18,164 60,743 (2,753)20 (2,733)58.010$ 41,508 377 41,885 15,862 57,747 (3,043)290 (2,753)54.994 Allowances for doubtful accounts are established based on prior collection experience and current economic factors which, in management's judgment, could influence the ability of loan recipients to repay the amounts according to the terms of the loan. Further, the University does not evaluate credit quality of student loans receivable after the initial approval of the loan. Loans to students are considered past due when payment is not received by the due date, and interest continues to accrue until the loan is paid in full or written off. When loans to students are deemed uncollectible, an allowance for doubtful accounts is established.
14 The University considers the age of the amounts outstanding in determining the collectability of loans to students.
The aging of the loans to students based on days delinquent and the related allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows: (in thousands of dollars)30 days or less Over 91 days 31-60 days 61-90 days Total 2012 Loans to students: Federal government loan programs Institutional loan programs Total loans to students Allowance for doubtful accounts: Federal government loan programs Institutional loan programs Total allowance for doubtful accounts Total loans to students, net$ 41,069 $ 506 $ 111 $ 893 $ 42,579 17,781 173 28 182 18,164 679 139 1,075 (1,562)(1,171)(2,733)30 days or less (in thousands of dollars)Over 31-60 days 61-90 days 91 days Total 2011 Loans to students: Federal government loan programs Institutional loan programs Total loans to students Allowance for doubtful accounts: Federal government loan programs Institutional loan programs Total allowance for doubtful accounts$ 40,470 $ 603 $ 48 $ 764 $ 41,885 15,358 273 42 189 15,862 876 90 953 (1,771)(982)Total loans to students, net Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally on the first-in, first-out basis..15 Investments The University's noncurrent investments represent the University's endowment and other investments held for general operating purposes.
The University's investments are reported at fair value in the accompanying financial statements.
Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at fair values with gains and losses included in the consolidated statements of activities.
In the management of investments, the University authorizes certain investment managers to purchase derivative securities to attain a desired market position; and the University may directly invest in derivative securities to attain a desired market position.
The University does not trade or issue derivative financial instruments other than through the investment management practices noted above. The University records derivative securities at fair value with gains and losses reflected in the consolidated statements of activities.
The estimated fair value amounts for marketable debt, equity and fixed income securities held by the University have been reviewed by the University and determined using available market information as supplied by the various financial institutions that act as trustees or custodians for the University.
For non-liquid holdings, generally limited partnership investments in private real estate, venture capital, private equity, natural resources, and private debt, estimated fair value is determined based upon financial information provided by the general partner. This financial information includes assumptions and methods that were reviewed by University management.
The University believes that the estimated fair value is a reasonable estimate of market value as of June 30, 2012 and 2011. Because the limited partnerships are not readily marketable, the estimated value is subject to uncertainty and, therefore, may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market existed, and such differences could be material.Income on operating investments and income used for the annual distribution under the annual spending policy for endowments are reported in operating revenues within the consolidated statement of activities.
Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trusts The University is the beneficiary of certain perpetual trusts held and administered by outside trustees.
The fair value of these trust assets has been recorded as permanently restricted net assets and related beneficial interest in perpetual trusts in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment in Plant Total investment in plant as of June 30 is comprised of the following: (in thousands of dollars) 2012 2011 Land $ 115,127 $ 110,409 Buildings 4,740,770 4,449,942 Improvements other than buildings 534,029 502,542 Equipment 1,032,923 979,857 Total plant 6,422,849 6,042,750 Less accumulated depreciation (2,875,046)
(2,670,745)
Total investment in plant, net $ 3.547.803
$ 3.372.005 The value of land, buildings, and equipment is recorded at cost or, if received as gifts, at fair value at date of gift. The University does not capitalize the cost of library books. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Useful lives range from 10 to 50 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for improvements other than buildings, and 3 to 20 years for equipment.
Depreciation expense was $242.5 million and $223.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The University has certain building and equipment lease agreements in effect which are considered capital leases that are included as long-term debt in the statements of financial position.
These leases have been capitalized at the net present value of the minimum lease payments.
Buildings and equipment held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. The capitalized cost and accumulated depreciation of the leases at June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $108.3 million and $33.4 million, and $101.8 million and $27.6 million, respectively.
16 Accounts Payable and Other Accrued Expenses Accounts payable and other accrued expenses at June 30 consist of the following: (in thousands of dollars)2012 2011 Accounts payable (non-Medical Center)Medical Center accounts payable and other accrued expenses Accrued payroll and other related liabilities Accrued bond interest Student deposits Total accounts payable and other accrued expenses$ 246,127 177,063 82,211 14,398 4,906$ 252,661 151,293 86,310 13,294 4,868 Asset Retirement Obliaations Under ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations
-Asset Retirement Obligations, organizations must accrue for costs related to legal obligations to perform certain activities in connection with retirement, disposal, or abandonment of assets. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is not conditional even though the timing or method may be conditional.
The University has identified asbestos abatement and the decommissioning of the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor as conditional asset retirement obligations.
These obligations are reported as part of other noncurrent liabilities within the consolidated statement of financial position.
The following table details the change in liabilities for the years ended June 30: Balance as of June 30, 2010 Accretion expense Liabilities settled Balance as of June 30, 2011 Accretion expense Liabilities settled Balance as of June 30, 2012 (in thousands of dollars)$ 57,463 4,780 (1,973)60,270 5,430 (3,766)Annuities Payable Annuities payable consist of annuity payments currently due and the actuarial amount of annuities payable.The actuarial amount of annuities payable is the present value of the aggregate liability for annuity payments over the expected lives of the beneficiaries.
Income Taxes The University files U.S. federal and state tax returns. The statute of limitations on the University's federal returns generally remains open for three years following the year they are filed. In accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes Topic, the University continues to evaluate tax positions and has determined there is no material impact on the University financial statements.
17 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-24, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation of Insurance Claims and Related Insurance Recoveries, which clarifies that a health care entity should not net insurance recoveries against a related claim. The adoption, effective July 1, 2011, had no impact on financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. An insurance recovery receivable was recorded as of June 30, 2012 in the amount of $23.0 million with $2.8 million included in prepaid expense and other assets and $20.2 million in other noncurrent assets with a corresponding increase to accrued malpractice loss reserves included in other liabilities.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-23, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Measuring Charity Care for Disclosure a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which prescribes specific measurement basis of charity care for disclosure.
The adoption, effective July 1, 2011, had no impact on financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Entities, which requires health care entities to present the provision for doubtful accounts related to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue in the statement of operations and changes in net assets rather than as an operating expense. Additional disclosures relating to sources of patient revenue and the allowance for doubtful accounts related to patient accounts receivable are also required.
Such disclosures are shown within the accounts receivable section of this footnote.
The University has adopted these provisions of ASU 2011-07 effective June 30, 2012. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles
-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for annual tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard on July 1, 2012 is not expected to have any impact on financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.3. INVESTMENTS Investments by major category as of June 30 are summarized as follows: (in thousands of dollars) 2012 2011 Money markets $ 251,782 $ 172,027 Fixed income: U.S. government/agency 1,230,097 892,659 U.S. corporate 639,456 524,413 Foreign 219,852 188,741 Other 108,140 306,152 Equities 887,826 918,265 Private capital 714,397 661,131 Investments held under securities lending program -219,524 Total $ 4,051.55D
$ 3,882.912 Other fixed income investments consist of collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities.
Equity investments are comprised of domestic and foreign common stocks. Private capital consists primarily of interests in private real estate, venture capital, private equity, natural resources, private debt, and hedge fund limited partnerships.
Futures contracts, which are fully cash collateralized, comprise the University's directly held derivative instruments at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are marked to market daily and are included in the fair 18 value of the University's investments The fair value of derivative instruments is included in the fair value of the University's investments within the money market category.
Futures contracts have minimal credit risk because the counterparties are the exchanges themselves.
Fully cash collateralized derivative securities comprised approximately 4.3% and 2.8% of total investments at June 30, 2012 and 2011.Through an agreement with its primary investment custodian, the University participated in lending securities to brokers. Collateral was generally limited to cash, government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit.Both the investment custodian and the security borrowers had the right to terminate a specific loan of securities at any time. The University received lending fees and continued to earn interest and dividends on the loaned securities.
At June 30 2011, the University held $219.5 million of short-term highly liquid investments as collateral deposits for the securities lending program. The collateral is included as an asset and the obligation to return such collateral is presented as a liability in the consolidated statements of financial position.
The securities on loan had an estimated fair value of $214.5 million at June 30, 2011. Effective September 7, 2011, the University is no longer participating in the securities lending program.The following schedules summarize the investment return and its classification in the consolidated statement of activities for the years ended June 30: (in thousands of dollars) Temporarily Permanently 2012 Unrestricted Restricted Restricted Total Dividends and interest $ 97,015 $ 553 $ 5,125 $ 102,693 Net realized gains/(losses) 44,212 (12,172) -32,040 Net unrealized gains/(losses) 5,343 (15,623) (10,280)Total returns $ 146,570 $ (27.242 $ 5,125 $ 124,453 (in thousands of dollars) Temporarily Permanently 2011 Unrestricted Restricted Restricted Total Dividends and interest $ 88,383 $ 284 $ 6,190 $ 94,857 Net realized gains 75,676 14,060 -89,736 Net unrealized gains 86,567 163,481 250,048 Total returns $ 250,626 $ 177.825 $ 6.19Q $ 434,641 4. ENDOWMENT NET ASSETS The University's endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated to function as endowments.
As required by GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
The ASC Not-for-Profit Entities Presentation of Financial Statements Subtopic (ASC Subtopic 958-205)provides guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for not-for-profit organizations subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act ("UPMIFA")
and improves disclosure about an organization's endowment funds regardless of whether the organization is subject to UPMIFA. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has not adopted UPMIFA but rather has enacted Pennsylvania Act 141 ("PA Act 141"). PA Act 141 permits an organization's trustees to define income as a stipulated percentage of endowment assets (between 2% and 7% of the fair value of the assets averaged over a period of at least three preceding years) without regard to actual interest, dividend, or realized and unrealized gains.The University has interpreted PA Act 141 to permit the University to spend the earnings of its endowment based on a total return approach, without regard to the fair value of the original gift. As a result of this interpretation, the University classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and 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. Funds functioning as endowments are established at the direction of University management and are classified as unrestricted net assets due 19 to the lack of external donor restrictions.
Gains and losses attributable to permanent endowments are recorded as temporarily restricted net assets and gains and losses attributable to funds functioning as endowments are recorded as unrestricted net assets.From time to time, due to unfavorable market fluctuations, the fair value of some assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that donors require to be retained as a perpetual fund, while other assets are unaffected to the same extent and maintain or exceed the level required.
The aggregate amount of deficiencies at June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $4.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, reported in unrestricted net assets on the consolidated statement of activities.
Subsequent investment gains will be used to restore the balance up to the fair market value of the original gift. Subsequent gains above that amount will be recorded as temporarily restricted net assets.Endowment net asset composition by type of fund as of June 30: (in thousands of dollars)2012 Donor-restricted endowment funds Funds functioning as endowments Total net assets (in thousands of dollars)2011 Donor-restricted endowment funds Funds functioning as endowments Total net assets Temporarily Permanently Restricted Restricted Unrestricted Total$ (4,935) $ 284,539 $ 1,001,580 491,737$ 486,802$ 1,281,184 491,737$ 1,772,921$ 284,539$ 1,001.580 Temporarily Permanently Restricted Restricted Unrestricted Total$ (3,261) $ 314,769 $ 951,006 $ 1,262,514 475,329$ 472,068$ 314,76 Changes in endowment net assets for the years ended June 30:$ 951,006-Permanently Restricted 475,329$ 1,737,843 (in thousands of dollars)2012 Temporarily Restricted Unrestricted Total Endowment net assets, beginning of the year Endowment return: Endowment earnings Net realized gains/(losses)

The overall management objective for the University's pooled endowment funds is to preserve or grow the real (inflation-adjusted) purchasing power of the assets through a prudent long-term investment strategy.
This objective would be achieved on a total return basis. Under these policies, as approved by the Board of Trustees and the Penn State Investment Council, the primary investment objective of the University's pooled endowment is to attain a real total return (net of investment management fees) that at least equals a total annual effective spending rate of 5.25% (program spending of 4.5% plus administrative costs of 0.75%) over the long term.To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return 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 diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints.
The endowment assets of the University are invested in a broad range of equities and fixed income securities, thereby limiting the market risk exposure in any one institution or individual investment.
The University has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year a certain percentage (4.5% for 2012 and 2011) of its pooled endowment fund's average fair market value over the prior five years preceding the fiscal year in which the distribution is planned. Accordingly, over the long term, the University expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment to provide generous current spending while preserving"intergenerational equity". This is consistent with the University's objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment returns.21
- 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The University utilizes the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes into three broad levels, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value: Level 1 -Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date;Level 2 -Inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.Level 3 -Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The University's assessment of significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including consideration of inputs specific to the asset.22 The following table presents information as of June 30, 2012 about the liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: University's financial assets and Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets Level 1 Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2 Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3 (in thousands of dollars)Total Fair Value Assets: Long-term Investment Pool: Money markets Fixed income U.S. government/agency U.S. corporate Foreign Other Equities Private capital Total Operating investments:

Redemptions vary from daily to monthly with required notification of 15 days or less. The non-U.S. equity strategy is invested in developed and developing 26 countries outside of the United States, and spans the entire equity capitalization spectrum.
These collective portfolios preclude the need to obtain securities registration in foreign countries.
Marketable Investment Partnerships include several hedge funds whose underlying positions are traded via public securities markets. Liquidity terms range from quarterly to annually with advance notification for redemption ranging from 30 to 90 days. Three newly funded partnerships have initial one-year lock ups with quarterly redemptions thereafter.
The fair values of the investments for each fund in this category have been estimated using the net asset value of the ownership interest in partner's capital. Four major investment strategies are included within this category.
Absolute Return refers to relative value strategies in long/short credit. Directional refers to equity long/short strategies in both U.S. and non-U.S. markets. Opportunistic refers to global multi-strategy.
Private Debt/Distressed refers to securities rated below investment grade, along with non-rated debt.Nonmarketable Investment Partnerships include limited partnership interests in a variety of illiquid investments.
The fair values of the investments for each fund in this category have been estimated using the net asset value of the ownership interest in partner's capital and cannot be redeemed.
Realizations from each fund are received as the underlying investments are liquidated or distributed, typically within 10 years after initial commitment.
Unfunded commitments represent remaining commitments for which capital calls have not been exercised as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Five major investment strategies are included within this category.
Private Real Estate includes properties primarily located in the U.S. Venture Capital includes non-public startups and enterprises in early stages of growth located globally.
Private Equity includes buyouts of previously public companies as well as enterprises that are planning to go public in the near future, including funds focusing on opportunities outside the U.S. Natural Resources largely include companies primarily involved in oil and natural gas in addition to a variety of other natural resources.
Private Debt includes global private credit securities rated below investment grade as well as non-rated debt.6.

The 2009B bondholders have the right to tender bonds on the purchase dates while such bonds bear interest at the daily, weekly or monthly rate. The 2009B Bonds were issued subject to the self-liquidity program established by the University on the date of issuance pursuant to which the University will provide liquidity for the 2009B Bonds from its general funds in the event of insufficient remarketing proceeds.The Series of 2002 bonds currently pay interest on a variable rate basis in the weekly mode; however, the University has the option to convert to another variable rate (daily, monthly, flexible, semiannual or long mode)or to a fixed rate basis.

The bondholders have the right to tender bonds at interest rate reset dates. The University, therefore, entered into standby bond purchase agreement with a bank to provide liquidity in case of tender. The bonds are not subject to sinking fund redemption; however, the University has the option to redeem the bonds prior to their scheduled maturity.Maturities and sinking fund requirements on bonds payable for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are summarized as follows: Annual Year Installments (in thousands of dollars)2013 $ 34,160 2014 35,785 2015 37,910 2016 27,000 2017 31,600 Thereafter 864,600 The fair value of the University's bonds payable is estimated based on current rates offered for similar issues with similar security, terms and maturities using available market information as supplied by the various financial institutions who act as trustees or custodians for the University.

The Medicare Advantage PPO plan and the Medicare Supplement plan are fully insured. The retirees pay varying amounts for coverage under the medical plan.For those employees who were hired after December 31, 2009, the University will contribute funds each month on their behalf to a retirement healthcare savings plan. This plan is designed to help pay for qualified medical and health-related expenses in retirement, including the purchase of a health insurance policy.Retirees will be eligible to access their Penn State Retirement Savings Account when they are no longer actively employed at Penn State and have satisfied either of the following requirements:

Net periodic postretirement cost includes the following components for the years ended June 30: (in thousands of dollars)2012 2011 Service cost Interest cost Amortization of prior service cost Amortization of unrecognized net loss Net periodic postretirement cost$ 45,124 80,779 (21,699)29,178$ 133,382$ 57,030 76,285 (21,673)35,497$ 1413 The assumed healthcare cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 8.50% and 9.00% for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, reduced by 0.50% per year to a fixed level of 5.00%. The weighted average postretirement benefit obligation discount rate was 4.50%and 5.75% for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
If the healthcare cost trend rate assumptions were increased by 1% in each year, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation would be increased by $595.2 million and $448.6 million as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The effect of this change on the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost would be an increase of $42.2 million and $46.1 million as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
If the healthcare cost trend rate assumptions were decreased by 1% in each year, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation would be decreased by $327.0 million and$242.6 million as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The effect of this change on the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost would be a decrease of$23.1 million and $25.3 million as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Gains and losses in excess of 10% of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation are amortized over the average future service to assumed retirement of active participants.
Postretirement benefits expected to be paid for the years ended June 30 are as follows: 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018-22 (in thousands of dollars)$ 48,813 52,678 56,915 61,217 65,535 386,329 33

Letters of Credit The University has available letters of credit in the amount of $18.2 million and $16.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
These letters of credit are used primarily to comply with minimum state and federal regulatory laws that govern various University activities.
The fair value of these letters of credit approximates contract values based on the nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing banks.Guarantees The University has a contract with a third party whereby the third party acts as an agent of the University in connection with procurement of electricity.
The University guarantees the payment of the obligations of the third party incurred on behalf of the University to counterparties.
No liabilities related to guarantees have been recorded as of June 30, 2012.Self-Insurance The University has a coordinated program of commercial and self-insurance for medical malpractice claims at TMSHMC through the use of a qualified trust and a domestic captive insurance company in combination with a self-insured retention layer and is supplementing this program through participation in the Pennsylvania Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error Fund ("Mcare Fund"), in accordance with Pennsylvania law.An estimate of the present value, discounted at 2% and 3% at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of the medical malpractice claims liability in the amount of $101.1 million and $66.6 million is recorded as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
On July 1, 2003, TMSHMC became self-insured for all medical malpractice claims asserted on or after July 1, 2003, for all amounts that are below the coverage of the TMSHMC's excess insurance policies and not included in the insurance coverage of the Mcare Fund. Under the self-insurance program, TMSHMC is required to maintain a malpractice trust fund in an amount at least equal to the expected loss of known claims.The balance of this trust fund was $21.3 million and $21.0 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
TMSHMC intends to fund any claims due during the next year from cash flows from operations.
34 With approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry ("PA-DLI"), the University elected to self-insure potential obligations applicable to workers' compensation.
Certain claims under the program are contractually administered by a private agency. The University purchased insurance coverage for excess obligations over $600,000 per incident.
An estimate of the self-insured workers' compensation claims liability in the amount of $12.4 million and $13.1 million, discounted at 1.25%, is recorded as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The University has established a trust fund, in the amount of $12.7 million and $12.4 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as required by PA-DLI, to provide for the payment of claims under this self-insurance program. TMSHMC is self-insured for workers' compensation claims and has purchased an excess policy through a commercial insurer which covers individual claims in excess of$500,000 per incident for workers' compensation claims.The University and TMSHMC are self-insured for certain health care benefits provided to employees.
The University and TMSHMC have purchased excess policies which cover employee health benefit claims in excess of $500,000 and $350,000 per employee per year, respectively.
The University and TMSHMC provide for reported claims and claims incurred but not reported.Litigation and Contingencies In November 2011, the University was made aware of certain allegations in a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Grand Jury presentment.
Various legal proceedings and investigations have arisen as a result of such allegations, including criminal proceedings against a former officer, an administrator and a former employee of the University.
Certain civil litigation has been filed against the University with anticipation that other complaints will be filed. The outcome of such litigation and potential for future litigation is unknown at June 30, 2012 and, therefore, no accruals for future costs have been recorded in the 2012 financial statements.
Through June 30, 2012, the University has incurred costs, net of insurance reimbursements totaling $16.1 million for internal investigation, legal, communications and other related costs. These costs are included in institutional support within the 2012 consolidated statement of activities.
Insurance reimbursements through June 30, 2012 totaled $779,000.The University has included $2.0 million in accruals for costs that were incurred but not paid at the balance sheet date. Such accruals are part of the costs, net of insurance reimbursements, noted above and are included in current liabilities.
Potential for future insurance reimbursement is unknown as of June 30, 2012 and as a result no revenue accruals have been recorded in the 2012 financial statements.
Based on its operation of the Medical Center (see Note 11), the University, like the healthcare industry, is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments.
Compliance with these laws and regulations can be subject to government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions.Recently, government reviews of healthcare providers for compliance with regulations have increased.
Although the University believes it has done its best to comply with these numerous regulations, such government reviews could result in significant repayments of previously billed and collected revenues from patient services.Various legal proceedings have arisen in the normal course of conducting University business.
The outcome of such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position of the University.
