Gabriel, Interim CFO Cathy Kaszluga, Vice President for Strategy and Planning Subject: 2014 Operating Plan Date: June 12, 2013 Context The 1977 Agreement between The Research Foundation and the State University of New York calls for the submission of an annual financial plan for approval by the Board of Directors. The Research Foundation Fiscal Year 2014 Operating Plan (“Operating Plan”) describes the areas the Research Foundation plans to focus on toward implementation of its Strategic Plan and provides the financial plan in the form of a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The Finance Committee recommends approval of the budget included in the Operating Plan.

1. Fiscal Year 2014 Operating Plan

Key Points The 2014 Operating Plan for the RF is an exciting, forward-looking and action-oriented plan designed to support

SUNY research and innovation on many levels, including excellent sponsored programs administration, growth in interdisciplinary and intercampus research opportunities, a focus on human capital development – particularly for SUNY students – and a strong connection to Governor Cuomo’s agenda for strengthening New York’s economy.

Some of the exciting elements within the plan include:

Launching four “Networks of Excellence” - Networking the scientific and scholarly expertise spread across the system around a set of shared research activities aimed at creating a progressive and durable culture of collaboration, enhancing the research environment across all campuses, and advancing knowledge to solve major problems facing the world today.

Supporting Governor Cuomo’s innovation agenda, including Tax-Free Zones, the Innovate New York Network, the Venture Capital Fund, and the Incubator Hot Spot program.

Creating a program to inculcate graduate students into the SUNY culture of research integrity and assist them in transitioning to careers in academic research. Also continuing the program launched in the current fiscal year to provide undergraduate students with research experiences to help bridge the gap with STEM graduation rates at SUNY.

Bringing on grant writing resources to help SUNY respond to large center-type opportunities that require collaboration and coordination among many campuses and to scale up the RF’s successful programs such as the Technology Accelerator Fund.

Some of the financial/budgetary elements within the plan include:

Salary Plan: Within the corporate Salary Plan campuses may authorize up to a 2% across-the-board cost-of-living increase and up to a 2% discretionary/merit-based increase to RF administrative and sponsored program employees. See page 3 for a chart that displays comparable increases for bargaining units within SUNY. Assessment Formula: The assessment formula that determines the amount of funding available for central office operations, system-wide collaboration support and funding the action steps remains the same as the prior year: 2.7% of revenues (all campuses) plus 1% of revenues (centralized campuses for sponsored program support) and .3% for SUNY Strategic Plan Support. The revenues base is less equipment and comprises the weighted average of total revenue for the past three years: 50% prior year, 30% two years prior, 20% three years prior. This assessment is not finalized until July but based upon campus projections the assessment for central office for FY 2014 is estimated at $28.5 million, an increase of 1% from FY 2013. The RF plans to align the assessment and allocation model to the strategic vision as we develop a new strategic plan this year. Corporate Reserves: In the FY 2013 Operating Plan, the board approved the use of $6 million of the corporate reserves for

funding technology costs related to the outsourcing of IT, the upgrade of the Oracle information system, and

new hardware. Today, there is an estimated $2 million in additional costs over seven years to complete the

upgrade, fund the hardware and pay technology costs. No new funds are requested at this time and over

the next 12 months we will perform a detailed review of our technology direction.

The RF will add an additional $4.9 million from 2013 investment income to the corporate reserve to bring it

to $6 million at June 30, 2014. The additional $4.9 is in addition to the routine allocation of $2.3 million. The

RF’s board of directors established a goal to maintain the corporate reserve at 10% of indirect cost

recoveries. In FY2013, this goal would equal $14 million; at June 30, 2013, the reserve will actually be $1.6

million. Each year, investment income has been allocated to the reserve however the reserve has been

used for expenses such as legal and technology costs and has never approached the funding goal.

Strategic Reinvestment: In FY 2009, the investment pool incurred a net loss of $ 44 million. At that time, it was decided not to recoup these funds from campuses but to repay the deficit from future years’ investment income. At June 30, 2012, the deficit remains at $22.7 million. Rather than repaying the deficit, the RF will use a portion of 2013 investment income to reinvest in strategic initiatives that will stimulate research, improve operations, and create new businesses and jobs in New York.

The action agenda and the financial aspects of the Plan have been shared widely with campus constituents,

including Operations Managers, Vice Presidents for Research, Sponsored Programs Administrators, and Human

Resource Officers.

RF Direct Activity

The funds received by the RF are generated by campus activity – primarily grants and contracts to faculty researchers and scholars. These include grants and contracts to individuals, collaborative programs, multidisciplinary centers, and institutes.

Grants and Contracts Grants and contracts to faculty researchers and scholars provide direct dollars for things that can be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project. In FY2014, the direct dollars within grants and contracts to faculty researchers and scholars are projected to increase from $902.4 million to $938.5 million.

The categories in which grant and contract funds are expected to be spent in FY2014 are depicted in the pie chart below.

Cost recoveries for grants and contracts to faculty researchers/scholars are sometimes called indirect costs, overhead, or “facilities and administrative” costs. Cost recoveries come in the form of reimbursements by sponsors for things that cannot be directly and uniquely assigned to any particular project. In FY2014, cost recoveries are expected to be $141.1 million. Total grants and contracts funding (direct plus cost recoveries) is projected to be $1,079.6 million ($938.5 direct and $141.1 in cost recoveries). The majority of the funds (51.1%) will be from federal sponsors, as depicted in the chart below.

Contracted Services Campus-related organizations using RF human resources, payroll, and purchasing/payables administration services (for example, clinical practice plans and campus-based foundations), will see a decrease in activity from $197.3 million to $184.8 million.

The RF recovers costs associated with providing contracted services for campus-related organizations through charging fees. In FY2014, cost recovery for contracted services to campus related organizations is expected to be $7.1 million.

Total funding (direct plus recovery through fees) is projected to be $191.9 million in FY2014 ($184.8 direct and $7.1 recovery through fees). The primary users of these services are clinical practice plans, as depicted in the chart below.

Sources of Allocable Funds

Grants and Contracts Indirect Dollars In FY2014, cost recoveries for grants and contracts (indirect dollars) are projected to slightly increase from $140.6 million to $141.1 million.

Cost Recoveries for Contracted Services The recovery of costs associated with providing shared services to campus-related organizations will increase from $6.6 million to $7.1 million.

Equity distribution from Brookhaven Science Associates The RF is a partner in Brookhaven Science Associates LLC (BSA), which runs Brookhaven National Laboratory. The LLC provides equity distributions to the members. It is anticipated that in FY2014, equity distributions will increase slightly to $1.5 million.

Fees paid by Third Parties for Service Centers The RF recovers costs from businesses and industries using RF-owned facilities, such as an MRI facility or nanotechnology clean room. This activity is projected to decrease from FY2013 estimates to $12.9 million in FY2014 due to activity at College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE).

Royalties from Licensees Traditional Intellectual Property (IP) commercialization generates royalties from companies that have licensed RF-owned intellectual property. Royalties are projected to remain flat at $8.4 million in FY2014. IP activity on campuses is strong, with some campuses anticipating record numbers of new technology disclosures and licenses in FY2014.

Nonsponsored and other Income Campuses retain balances remaining from fixed price sponsored awards and receive other types of non-sponsored revenue. In FY2014, the RF expects this funding to decrease from $16.4 million in FY2013 to $13.5 million in FY2014.

Distribution from Corporate Reserves In the FY2013 Operating Plan, the board approved the use of $6 million of the corporate reserves for funding technology costs related to the outsourcing of IT, the upgrade of the Oracle Business System, and new hardware. Today, there is an estimated $2 million in additional costs to complete the upgrade, fund the hardware, and pay technology costs over the seven year plan. No new funds are requested at this time and over the next 12 months we will perform a detailed review of our technology direction. See Page 24 for additional details on source and use of both corporate and investment reserves.

Generated through Investment Investment income reflects a long-term expected, risk-adjusted return for our operating pool. The RF expects net investment income to reach $7.8 million in FY2014. For planning purposes based upon an average investment balance of $160 million we expect net income of $7.8 million using a return of 6% which is the target long term return of the operating pool. Income is net of treasury and investment related expenses estimated of $1.8 million.

Uses of Allocable Funds

Royalties Paid to Inventors (40% of total) The SUNY Patent Policy dictates that 40% of royalties be paid to the inventor of intellectual property. In FY2014, this is anticipated to remain flat from FY2013 at $3.4 million.

Central Office Operations Central office operations provide a centralized infrastructure in support of the SUNY research enterprise across the state and around the world. The allocation to central office operations will increase from $24.3 in FY2013 to $24.9 in FY2014. The increase is mainly attributed to hiring of a new CFO and COEUS business analyst. See Page 25 for details on central office services and costs.

Corporate Reserve In FY2013, the corporate reserve will be allocated $7.3 million by funding from investment income in order to maintain a more adequate balance. In FY2014, the corporate reserve will be allocated $2.3 million by funding from investment income. The RF’s board of directors agreed on a goal to maintain the reserve at 10% of indirect cost recoveries. At the end of FY2014, the reserve will represent 4% of indirect cost recoveries, 6% below the board target. See page 19 for a table that depicts the beginning balance, allocations to, distributions from, and ending balance for the corporate reserve for 2013 – 2014.

Strategic Initiatives The RF will allocate $7.0 million to Strategic Initiatives. See page 12-13.

Systemwide Collaboration Support The RF will allocate $2.6 million to programs that support collaboration inside and outside of SUNY. See page 15.

SUNY Strategic Plan Support The allocation to SUNY Strategic Plan support will increase from $2.6 million in FY2013 to $2.7 million in FY2014. SUNY anticipates spending the allocation to support their Strategic Plan.

Calculating the Allocations Campuses are allocated the funds that they recover or earn (less the assessments described here).

An assessment formula determines the amount of funding available for central office operations, systemwide

collaboration support and funding the action steps: 2.7% of revenues (all campuses) plus 1% of revenues

(centralized campuses for sponsored program support). The “revenues” base is less equipment and comprises the

weighted average of total revenue for the past three years: 50% prior year, 30% two years prior, 20% three years

prior. In extraordinary circumstances, the RF may need to request funds from the corporate reserve to cover costs

associated with action steps or systemwide collaboration support.

In FY2014, the projected assessment is $31.2 million. Of this amount, $24.9 million will be allocated to central office

operations (87% of the assessment) and $ 3.6 million (13% of the assessment) will be allocated to funding action

steps and systemwide collaboration support. After the end of the fiscal year, the assessment will be recalculated

based on actual revenues.

The SUNY Strategic Plan support allocation is $2.7 million and derived by a formula (.3% of last three years

weighted average revenues).

Campus Operations and Research Support Campus allocations are expected to decrease from $154.8 million in 2013 to 147.2 million in FY2014. The reduction is due to reduced third party and gift & other revenue. There continues to be no allocation of investment income in FY2014 as the RF rebuilds the investment reserve (see next section).

Investment Reserve In FY2013, investment income will fund $4 million to the Networks of Excellence and $1.4 million to the investment reserve. In FY2014, investment income will fund $8.2 million to investment reserves. See page 19 for a table that depicts the beginning balance, sources, uses and ending balance for the investment reserve for 2013 – 2014.

Strategic Initiatives

In fiscal year 2014, specific projects, programs, and activities will be launched, guided by this Operating Plan, and governed through the RF planning and project management process.

Networks of Excellence $4 Million

In fiscal year 2014, the RF will use 2013 investment income to invest up to $4 million in the launch of the Networks of Excellence.

These stimulus funds will be provided to faculty-led groups to develop large-scale proposals to funding agencies. The vision is for the networks to be self-sustaining after five years; they require an aggressive ramp up with a built-in sunset as each network becomes self sustaining.

The four planned Networks of Excellence are:

SUNY 4E (Economics, Energy, Environment and Education)

SUNY Health Now

SUNY Brain

SUNY Materials and Advanced Manufacturing

Each network assembles scientists and scholars from varied campuses to engage in a joint program of research on a specific topic and enhance related experiential learning of students. Bringing together the varied expertise into a collective network, SUNY can better position itself to become a national and international scientific leader, compete for research grants, and educate the next-generation workforce.

We are entering the fifth year of the 2009 strategic plan, which was a 3-5 year plan that has served us well and left us poised and ready to take on new and ambitious goals and direction.

Business Intelligence: Transform the RF’s approach to what we measure, how we analyze it, and how we talk about it, with a strong focus on data integrity and improved presentation. We need to do a better job of not just providing accurate data to our customers, but providing them with the data in different formats and scenarios, as well as providing expert analysis of the data to aid in business decisions and goal setting.

Human Capital: The RF will work with campuses to create a graduate student engagement initiative related to mentoring, on-boarding, career development, training, and ethics. SUNY should be a national model for graduate education at scale. The RF will also measure the success of the undergraduate research experiences pilot and continue to fund the allocations to that program.

Strengthen Controls and Compliance

Internal Controls: Collaborate with campuses to ensure that RF functions are performed in an environment with strong, documented, and effective internal controls.

Record Retention: Work with campuses to strengthen RF policies and tools used to retain and purge records – including system data, e-mails, documents, etc.

Research Integrity: Work with campus vice presidents for research and other campus stakeholders to ensure that the Statement on Research Integrity recently passed by the SUNY Trustees is institutionalized across SUNY with faculty, staff, and students.

Improve Research Administration for Faculty

RF Enterprise Business System:

Phase One: Continue the upgrade of the Oracle business applications to version R12. Key benefits include Manager Self Service (MSS), which provides an electronic end-to-end system for processing and approving human resources transactions as well as a new set of enterprise reporting tools. The upgrade is on schedule to go live in December 2013.

Phase Two: Rollout Oracle Advanced Benefits for open enrollment, allowing employees to make changes to their benefits online. This is scheduled for January 2014.

Phase Three: Analyze the manual processes used for RF employee time and attendance reporting and develop a plan for automating.

Website Redesign: Develop a new website that expresses the RF as it exists today, improves the navigation structure and graphic design, and provides faculty and administrators with better access to tools and information to accomplish their work.

Pre-Award: Look at ways to help campuses increase research proposal submittal rates.

Learning and Development: Focus on initiatives across the entire system to support the RF’s commitment to advancing human capital and supporting a sustainable workforce of experts.

Advance Innovation and Growth

New Sources of Funding: Identify and secure new sources of funding to support the activities and programs that advance the RF’s and SUNY’s strategic goals. Investment in grant writing resources will help SUNY respond to large center-type opportunities that require collaboration and coordination among many campuses and provide opportunities to scale up the RF’s successful programs, such as the Technology Accelerator Fund.

Governor Cuomo’s Innovation Agenda: Support Governor Cuomo’s Innovation Agenda, including Tax-Free Zones, the Innovate New York Network, the Venture Capital Fund, the Incubator Hot Spot program, and other initiatives that arise within the course of the year.

Innovation Programs: Provide moderate support to initiatives designed to match inventors to sources of funding and support startups (e.g., pre-seed workshops, innovation showcases, etc.).

SUNY and the RF - together with Regional Planning Association (RPA) and other institutions, universities, and corporations – will work to launch the SUNY Empire Innovation Center, a joint academic / industry applied research center in the former Farley Post Office building as part of development of the new Moynihan Station in New York City. The center will engage top research faculty from throughout the SUNY system as well as scholars and researchers from other world class universities and corporate research institutions from across New York State and the Northeast Mega-region. The center will create a space to invent, design, develop, and market “saleable solutions” for global sustainability.

Central office uses its unique system-wide vantage point to stimulate research and innovation across the SUNY enterprise:

The Faculty Travel Grant Program allows faculty to travel to Washington, DC to meet with program officers at federal agencies – interactions that can be crucial to winning key grants. The Technology Accelerator Fund provides the financial assistance necessary to get an invention from the lab to external funding or venture capitalists. The Entrepreneur in Residence Program assigns business experts to budding campus projects, providing faculty with the professional services needed to get off the ground. The Collaboration Fund incentivizes and funds projects across two or more SUNY campuses. Increased STEM Research Opportunities for SUNY undergraduates create higher proficiency in science, technology, engineering, and math fields.

Central Office Functions and Other Expenses All dollar amounts are FY 2014 projected costs Costs Full-Time Staff

CO Department Functions 126 FTEs $ 19,731,502 Below are thumbnail descriptions of each major central office function, which provide a brief overview of its responsibilities and value. Executive & Support 31 FTEs $4,839,581 The Executive Office function leads the RF in providing outstanding services to the SUNY research community in sponsored programs administration, intellectual property commercialization, and public/private partnership creation and support. The Research Foundation of SUNY President provides effective and efficient leadership, management, and direction to establish and accomplish strategic goals while collaborating with and supporting the SUNY community and private partners. 2 FTEs The Legal function provides expert legal services not only on behalf of the Research Foundation itself, but also to individual campuses, particularly in sponsored programs, innovation and partnerships, labor and employment, and other key areas. It does this by responding to requests for legal advice from operations staff and leadership, identifying and solving legal problems, resolving disputes and managing litigation, and administering training and templates to prevent reputational, legal, and financial problems. Centralizing this service conserves resources and guarantees standardization and legal compliance across all campuses. 7 FTEs

The Compliance function’s primary purpose is to help prevent, detect, and correct any fraud, waste, and abuse. It does this by developing, managing, and monitoring ethical policies (such as the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest policies), establishing an internal control methodology and risk management, overseeing information security, and developing/maintaining policy governance. Given the critical nature of these activities for each campus and the opportunities for variance when handled separately, uniting these services under one infrastructure reduces risk and helps ensure an ethical and compliant environment for research activities. 3 FTEs The Internal Audit Services function provides independent appraisals, recommendations, analyses, and other pertinent comments on the financial and operational controls of all offices, identifying changes in procedures to improve efficiencies, eliminate duplicate efforts, and reduce risks. In so doing, it identifies areas of potential exposure before they are identified by external parties, and shares process improvements across all locations. The function also assists sites with external audit processes and responses (i.e., OMB A-133, sponsor audits, regulatory audits), giving each campus access to expertise in these areas. 9 FTEs The Innovation and Partnerships function enables and stimulates meaningful interaction between the business community and SUNY to increase SUNY’s impact on local, regional, statewide, national, and global economies. It does this by supporting the creation of startups and incubators (and providing ongoing support); developing/managing funds, grants, and programs; promoting commercialization opportunities; increasing the profile of SUNY innovation through outreach; and leveraging government relationships. The nature of this work demands a cross-campus approach, to match investors to opportunities and consolidate negotiating power. 10 FTEs Sponsored Program Services/Operations 55 FTEs $ 6,475,413 The Data Management function works with departments, colleges, and campus administrators to understand their business needs, respond to data requests, and provide the metrics to meet all research and reporting requirements. Duties include developing reporting tools for principal investigators, data upgrades, training, documentation, and communication across the entire SUNY system. For example, the standardization of business elements in the Oracle (and other systems) is a corporate function that supports campus operations. 4 FTEs The Sponsored Programs Compliance and Reporting function implements strategic projects and provides day-to-day support for campus research administrators. That support includes reviewing award documentation and sponsor assurances of compliance, preparing A-133 reports, invoice and financial report submissions, responding to federal- and state-mandated reporting requirements, and providing metric data. Staff members serve campuses by solving business problems involving: grant proposals and awards, compliance with terms and conditions, financial administration, effort reporting, education and training, and satisfactorily resolving audit findings. 11 FTEs

The Centralized Award & Contract Review and Negotiation function performs the critical work of helping secure funding for campus research for the centralized campus locations. It negotiates and executes grants, contracts, and subcontracts, including account set up and complete financial invoicing. Increasingly, this team is consulted by decentralized campuses with business problems arising from state and federal sponsorship, including standard terms and conditions. The RF achieves efficiencies by sharing the service and cost of grant and contract administration for 24 campus locations. 13 FTEs The Strategy and Planning function develops the RF strategic and annual operating plans, monitors corporate projects, coordinates leadership stakeholders of the organization (President’s Council, Research Council, VPRs, OMs), and manages all aspects of the OM relationship, including orientation, training, and regional hub activities. It ensures timely response to changes in the environment, efficient and stable strategic planning and project management, appropriate use of resources, and quality customer service for all stakeholders. 4 FTEs The Human Resources function takes a proactive approach to maintain positive employee relations at campuses. In addition to developing and maintaining competitive compensation/benefit programs to attract, retain, and motivate a talented workforce, the function provides guidance and training to campus administrators/faculty to resolve HR issues in laboratories and offices, and ensures compliance with state, federal, and sponsor employment and workplace regulations. HR also creates a learning environment across campuses by offering Learning Tuesdays on “hot topics” and by developing both an enterprise-wide mentoring system and a succession planning process that can be adapted to individual campuses. 18 FTEs External Relations and Corporate Communications works with campuses to amplify and promote campus research achievement. This includes creating publications and marketing pieces, social media posts, and corporate presentations, as well as managing the RF website and its content. External Relations staff coordinates with campuses on FOIL and FOIA requests; and assists with media inquiries and crisis management. Centralizing this function gives each site access to key communication resources and corporate public relations and media support. 5 FTEs Finance 40 FTEs $ 3,689,000 The Treasury and Payroll function is responsible for all daily cash management operations, maintaining campus bank accounts, running payroll operations (including checks, taxation, deductions, cost transfers, etc.), handling receipts, and more. Depositing corporate cash into one centralized bank account provides better control over the cash receipts asset. Centralization is also the most efficient way to deal with the complexities of federal and state tax reporting. The Treasury function also includes investments and debt/line of credit borrowing providing asset allocation strategies and supporting campus borrowing needs. This function provides a shared payroll service for eight campuses that are not able to perform this at their sites plus manages the corporate facilities as well as other back office corporate support. 20 FTEs (includes 2 FTE’s IS related)

The Cost Accounting and Accounts Payable/Purchasing function prepares large, complex Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rate proposals for 31 operating locations and negotiates rates with the federal Department of Health and Human Services. It also oversees fixed assets and assists campus staff in areas of federal compliance and safeguarding the assets of the corporation. Staff are fiscal stewards who disburse funds (checks, electronic transfers, etc) for all operating locations, provide corporate oversight for procuring goods and services, and oversee and provide guidance for the campus staff regarding compliance with laws and regulations, particularly in regard to the IRS. Having one office handle all of these “shared services” achieves great economies of scale, saving money and increasing efficiencies. 12 FTEs The Financial Accounting function ensures the integrity of the business system, providing the accurate accounting methods and reliable financial information that are critical for operational success. The function works with health insurance carriers and negotiates with DHHS to develop fringe benefit rates. It completes annual audited financial statements and fulfills campus requests for assistance with financial information and foreign tax exemption. It compiles sources and uses of funds for the RF Operating Plan, including establishing and overseeing campus accounts for individual site allocations. Aggregating these services prevents gross duplication of efforts and standardizes best practices. 8 FTEs Information Services Outsourced $ 4,727,508 The RF’s information technology vendor manages and supports specific day to day IT operations as well as projects that fit into the RF Operating and Strategic Plans. This includes technology upgrades and customized technical support to increase compliance, reduce costs, and provide end users enhanced usability, performance, flexibility, and availability. Outsourcing this work is the most cost-effective way to ensure cutting-edge IT resources and management at a low cost to campuses. Non Departmental Costs $ 5,197,459 As a corporation, generic expenses are incurred that support the general corporate stewardship or the business as whole. These expenses are not specifically identified to a department, such as: Annual Audit 368,900 Facilities 780,000 Insurance 1,217,000 Outside legal 120,000 IT Software, Production Support, other 1,853,910 All other 857,649 Total Central Office Operations $24,928,961

Performance Summary

In FY 2013 YTD through April, the global equity and credit markets exhibited very strong returns, surpassing pre-financial crisis levels and hitting new records, while safety asset returns were anemic. Global Equities were up +21.1%, and US Treasuries gained +2.2%.

In May, the rally in US and European equities continued, with Global Equities up +1.4% and US Treasuries down -2.6%. The Fed signaled that they are considering cutting back quantitative easing later this year, causing a sharp rise in Treasuryyields. There were particularly sharp sell offs during May in emerging markets debt (local currency debt was down -6.3%), TIPS (-4.4%) and US Investment Grade bonds (-2.3%).

The Operational Pool Medium Duration (OP MD) gained +8.5%, surpassing the Index of Indices (IOI) by +0.3% and exceeding the long-term policy target of 5.8% due to the strong performance of high-quality risk assets.

VEBA and Operating Pool Long Duration (OP LD) both gained +13.1%, surpassing the IOI by +0.9% and exceeding the long-term policy target of 8.3%. The outperformance versus IOI was due to alpha from manager selection of +1.4% partially offset by asset allocation detraction of -0.5%.

Across all RF SUNY portfolios, performance within asset classes has generally been strong, with Hedged Equities, Absolute Return and Credit outperforming the asset class benchmarks by +1% to +4%. Global Equities also outperformed with excellent manager performance offsetting negative attribution from the emerging markets overweight within equities. Core Property was the only notable detractor, lagging its benchmark by approximately -5%.

RF SUNY’s hedge fund portfolio has been a strong contributor in FY 2013. The Absolute Return portfolio is up +7.7% (OP MD) versus +4.3% for the T-Bills+500 benchmark and continues to deliver results with only a 0.16 beta to equities. Since January 2010, the RF SUNY Absolute Return portfolio has gained +18.7% versus +18.4% for the benchmark, and +10.2% for a peer group benchmark. Also, performance in the Hedged Equities portfolio has been excellent, up +14.8% (VEBA) versus a +10.1% gain in 50% of the unhedged, long only Global Equities index and a +10.9% gain in the peer group index. We expect these allocations to be positive contributors if market volatility increases in coming months, or there are rising interest rates.

Executive Summary (1 of 2)

2

Performance for FY 2013 YTD through April relative to benchmarks has been strong, especially for VEBA and OP LD. OP MD surpassed the IOI by 0.3%, while VEBA and OP LD delivered 0.9% outperformance.

Key contributors to outperformance was manager alpha across the board. In particular:

Partners Capital Harrier Fund, our diversified portfolio of absolute return managers, delivered +8.0%, well ahead of its target of Treasuries + 500 bps (4.3%). Visium Balanced Fund (+8.4%) and OXAM (+7.1%), two equity market neutral funds, were key contributors.

Executive Summary (2 of 2)

3

Key contributors to outperformance was manager alpha across the board (continued):

DoubleLine Opportunistic Income Fund , a manager with diversified credit exposures, returned +14.6%, exceeding its benchmark by 6.3%. It benefitted from the strong performance of its lower-quality subprime assets, as well as from income generation.

Partners Capital Falcon Fund, our diversified portfolio of hedge fund managers, delivered +14.8%, surpassing its peer group index by +4.3%. Discovery (+17.3%), which benefitted from its long Japanese equities, short Japanese Yen position, and Lafayette Street (+14.7%) were the strongest contributors.

2013 Portfolio Attribution (Continued)

Change OP LD and VEBA asset allocation ranges in policy tables (minor changes for consistency)

Separate out Credit as a separate asset class under Fixed Income.

Use the same ranges for Hedged Equities and Private Equity in both the OP LD and VEBA pools.

Commit $7.5M to THL Credit (Direct Lending) to reallocate to more attractive segment within Credit asset class

THL Credit is a direct lending fund that will invest in a mix of first lien, second lien and mezzanine debt sourced from US corporate borrowers.

Given the multi year rally and record low yields in the liquid credit market, we believe that private direct lending provides better expected returns at similar levels of risk.

THL Credit has assembled a proven team covering major US markets to exploit this opportunity.

Commit $3M to Harbour Group (Private Equity) as part of program to increase PE allocation over next 3 years

Harbour Group is a well-established lower mid-market PE fund in St. Louis with significant experience and success in operationally intensive investments.

We are seeking to make approx. $4M of commitments to corporate Private Equity in 2013 as part of our plan to increase PE and PERE investments to target levels over the next 3 years.

We see Harbour Group as a core allocation and would seek 1-2 additional commitments later in the year out of several high quality prospects that are still in the early stages of their fundraising.

Key Decisions Requested from Finance CommitteeKey decisions requested from Finance Committee:

1) Approve minor changes to the OP LD and VEBA asset allocation policy tables.

There are some minor items in the OP LD and VEBA tables that we recommend adjusting for consistency with OP MD.The revised asset allocation tables for OP LD and VEBA incorporate two minor changes: (1) separating out Credit as aseparate asset class under Fixed Income to show a consistent presentation to the one for OP MD, and (2) using thesame ranges for Hedged Equities and Private Equity in both the OP LD and VEBA pools to make those tablesidentical. Currently, the ranges are slightly different.

2) Approve $7.5M commitment to THL Credit (Direct Lending) – $3.0M to OP LD and $4.5M to VEBA

We would reallocate a portion of RF SUNY’s exposure to Credit to THL Credit, a direct lending fund that will invest in amix of first lien, second lien and mezzanine debt sourced from U.S. corporate borrowers. Given the multi year rally andrecord low yields in the liquid credit market, we believe that private direct lending provides better expected returns atsimilar levels of risk, and THL Credit has assembled a proven team covering major U.S. markets to exploit thisopportunity.

3) Approve $3M commitment to Harbour Group (Private Equity) – $1.0M to OP LD and $2.0M to VEBA

We are seeking to make approx. $4M of commitments to corporate Private Equity in 2013 as part of our plan toincrease PE and PERE investments to target levels over the next 3 years. We recommend an allocation to HarbourGroup, a well-established lower mid-market PE fund in St. Louis with significant experience and success inoperationally intensive investments.

• Global equity markets have rallied to a new all time high on May 22, surpassing the previous high in October 2007,propelled by the unprecedented level of developed market central bank stimulus (now including the Bank of Japan).Developed market equities (particularly the US and Japan) have benefited the most, with returns outstripping all otherasset classes.

• Bank of Japan April 4th announcement of extensive new QE ratified optimism that Japan is finally determined to defeat deflationafter two decades. With targets to double money supply and achieve inflation of 2% within two years, the BoJ actions will floodglobal markets with liquidity limiting the scope of any equity pullback even after a +27% rally since June 2012. Longer term riskssuch as a flight from Japanese government bonds are being ignored by investors for now.

• Eurozone tail-risk did not sting in Q1 as uncertainty from the Cyprus bailout, Italian election and growth downgrades are nowbeing offset by signs of a new flexibility on austerity from the IMF and EU policy-makers. Growth expectations could benefit.Meanwhile, the US government mitigated concerns on fiscal policy by suspending the federal debt ceiling until May.

• These positive developments however do not fundamentally alter the fact that developed economy deleveraging is far from overand is expected to affect global growth for the rest of this decade. Our base case remains that over the next 2-3 years (i) globalgrowth stabilises and climbs to 4% p.a. (equal to the pre-crisis average) as the US moves closer to private sector deleveragingtargets, (ii) Europe recovers only slowly with austerity partially offset by ECB support and (iii) major central banks keep rates lowand continue unconventional monetary policy.

• This backdrop of slow normalization and massive central bank stimulus keeps us focused on key investment themesthat include:

1. Exploit the potential for investor rotation out of low yielding bonds by adding to quality equities, property, illiquid credit and other yielding assets that are still attractively valued (non-agency RMBS, EM LC sovereign debt, short duration HY bonds)

2. Exploit the dispersion in borrowing costs to high and low quality borrowers by investing in direct lending and other illiquid credit strategies that seek to lend where rates are high, and

3. Reduce government bond holdings to an absolute minimum while turning to alternatives for uncorrelated returns such as absolute return strategies. Inflation linked government bonds are preferred over nominal government bonds (except temporarily in the UK following Q1 drop in real yields).

Quantitative Easing Supportive of Risk Assets

57

Periods of significant Quantitative Easing by central banks have proved positive for equity markets over the past 4 yearsalbeit with diminishing impact in subsequent episodes. In response, the Fed and ECB announced ‘unlimited’ and indefiniteprograms during the past 8 months. Experts are optimistic that the significant QE program announced by the Bank of Japanon April 4, 2013 could finally break deflation in Japan, which would be positive for global financial markets.

Asset Class Returns – Calendar YTD 2013Developed market equities were the biggest beneficiaries of an early 2013 shift towards riskier assets. Japan and the US, where central bank stimulus was most aggressive, saw the largest gains. Emerging market equities lagged notably.

Rotation into equities may have started with equities on course to experience their best funds inflows since before 2006.Continued bond fund inflows suggest that money is coming out of money market funds and cash thus far.

Given lower expected returns and yields, investors will need to increase risk and illiquidity in order to hit return targets. Forexample, Yale have increased risk levels from an annualised volatility of 11.7% in 2001 to 13.7% today.

Over the next 2-3 years we expect to see global growth stabilise and climb to 4% p.a. (equal to thepre-crisis average) as the US moves closer to private sector deleveraging targets, Europe recoversonly slowly with austerity partially offset by ECB support and major central banks keep rates lowand continue unconventional monetary policy.

1. Deleveraging is far from over and is expected to affect global growth for the rest of this decade, with US household deleveraging still having 2-3 years to go, but peripheral European countries needing 20 years or more to reduce government debt-to-GDP to sustainable levels.

2. Robust policy action by the ECB has reduced the probability of an acute Eurozone crisis in the short term but growth and competitiveness remain a challenge.

3. Modest income growth and household deleveraging implies 2% US growth as long as politicians correctly calibrate the level of fiscal adjustments accurately. Entitlement “cliff” is still 10 years off.

4. Structural challenges imply a downshift in China’s growth but 7.5% p.a. growth target achievable with only modest rebalancing from investment-led growth to consumption-led growth

5. The risk of higher inflation remains a few years off given the overriding pressure to deleverage and the absence of other historical drivers of inflation.

6. Interest rates will remain low until more normal growth takes hold at which point we expect a normalisation of policy rates and longer-term bond yields implying losses for 10 year duration government bond holders. This could be 2015 in the US but later in other DM economies.

7. Global systemic risk is lower as scrutiny of, and government support for, the banking system has strengthened.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fiscal year-to-date March 31, 2013 has seen an increase of 17.4% in sponsored program revenues relative to prior year, as increases in CNSE activity more than offset reductions in Federal programs. The Research Foundation’s (RF) financial position- its balance sheet and solid financial ratios- continues to support the continued prefunding of sponsored programs as well as targeted spending on initiatives that are important to achieving the goals of the RF Strategic Plan. Key points from this report: Financial Statements

Revenue

• Sponsored program revenue for the fiscal 2013 year-to-date increased $114.8 million or 17.4% from prior year first quarter. Decreases in federal revenue at campuses throughout the SUNY system, which was caused by the trailing off of ARRA program activity combined with decreases in federal flow-through programs, have been more than offset by construction and semiconductor program activity from New York State and private sponsors at CNSE, including payments made towards building the new NanoFabXtension facility. Increased volume was also seen in the G450 Consortium programs. For the majority of campuses, revenues were lower than in the prior year. See page 8 and Appendix I for more detail on revenue comparison to prior year, and Appendix I for cash-basis sponsored program volume by campus. As shown on page 8 and Appendix I, indirect revenue volume actually declined RF-wide even as direct volume increased, since the federally sponsored programs with higher indirect cost recoveries have decreased in volume, while volume from state and private sponsors, with lower indirect cost recoveries, increased.

• Market conditions resulted in net investment return on operational funds of 4.85%, compared to 1.07% in the same period last year.

• Other Income increased $15 million; this included a Fuller Road Management Corporation grant to help fund the 28nm technology license, increased third party recharge volumes and the impact of the deferred revenue gain on the sale-leaseback assets at CNSE.

Assets • While revenues have increased, accounts receivable balances have decreased by $12.6 million compared to

June 30, 2012. The funding for many of the nanotechnology programs driving the revenue increase was received in advance of the expenditures, while there have been some collections made on some of the NYS programs.

Liabilities

• Deferred revenue balances have decreased $28 million compared to June 30, 2012, mainly due to decreases of $33.6 million from Empire State Development Corporation, offset by increases of unexpended funds of $6.2 million received in FY 2013 from members of the G450 consortium at CNSE.

• Deposits held for others decreased $24.6 million compared to June 30, 2012, mainly due to expenditures of $26.8 million at SUNY Downstate Medical Center on behalf of RF affiliate BioBAT for the development of the Brooklyn Army Terminal facility.

Financial Risk Assessment • There are six campuses (CNSE, UAlbany, Old Westbury, Plattsburgh, System Administration – Provost and

Upstate Medical University) that exceed the threshold of at-risk expenditures, agency deficits or over-extended Research Management and Support (RMS) awards outlined in the RF’s Risk Tolerance policy. See page 20 for more detail and updates to corrective action plans for these campuses.

Operating Plan Update

• Campuses provide projections for Grants and Contracts revenues for the Operating Plan. Based on fiscal year to date activity as of March 31, 2013:

o Direct funding for Grants and Contracts programs is ahead of 2013 Plan projections by 7.7% when annualized. Cost recoveries for Grants and Contracts, if annualized, are tracking slightly below projections.

o Contracted Services for Campus related Organizations is ahead of 2013 Plan projects by 12.4% when annualized. Cost recoveries for Contracted Services for Campus related Organizations are ahead of plan by 4.9% when annualized.

• Investment income for the third quarter appears to be in line with estimated targets, if not slightly ahead, due

to an upswing in the market.

• Operating cash is at a level that allows the RF to prefund sponsored program expenditures prior to

reimbursement without having to use the operating line of credit. As of March 2013, total operating cash is $214.9 million, which includes advances from sponsors of $93.4 million and agencies of $20.3 million.

• As of March 2013, there is an unfunded balance in the fringe benefit pool of $984K. This is a decrease of $2.5 million from the June 2012 balance of $3.5 million.

• Campus Service Center Fees and Gifts / Other Revenue are well above projections due to G450 consortium activity at CNSE.

BALANCE SHEET KEY POINTS – Compared to prior year-end.

• Accounts receivable balances decreased $12.6 million since fiscal 2012 year-end, with net A/R decreases of $8.5 million from the NYS Department of Economic Development and $5.8 million from the NYS Office of Children and Family Services. The fringe benefit deficit, which is presented as a receivable in the financial statements, also decreased $11.3 million since fiscal 2012 year-end. These factors were offset by net increases in accounts receivable of $13.1 million from the Empire State Development Corporation, which included increases of $7.4 million at CNSE and $6.4 million at Stony Brook University.

• Due from broker for securities sold decreased $18.9 million compared to June 30, 2012 due to the settlement of transactions after year end.

• Other current assets decreased $4.4 million compared to June 30, 2012, mainly due to current-year expenditures of $2.8 million at University at Albany on an ARRA funded infrastructure award that had been paid in advance in fiscal year 2012. Additionally, royalty receivables decreased $1.6 million due to lower projected revenues for 2013.

• $9.5 million presented on the balance sheet as “Long-term investments pledged” is collateral for SUNY’s purchase of the Community General Hospital of Greater Syracuse. This collateral requirement is expected to be relieved over the next ten years.

• Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $5.9 million compared to June 30, 2012. Large payables at year end were subsequently settled; these included $10 million payable to FRMC and $6.5 million for the second installment payment of the technology license capitalized in fiscal year 2012. This was partly offset by timing-related decreases to accruals.

• Deferred revenue balances have decreased $28 million compared to June 30, 2012, mainly due to decreases of $33.6 million from Empire State Development Corporation, offset by increases of unexpended funds of $6.2 million received in FY 2013 from members of the G450 consortium at CNSE.

• Deposits held for others decreased $24.6 million compared to June 30, 2012, mainly due to expenditures of $26.8 million at SUNY Downstate Medical Center on behalf of RF affiliate BioBAT for the development of the Brooklyn Army Terminal facility.

• Line of credit balances were relatively consistent with prior year-end levels; this includes a $23.5 million balance owed on the 32 nm technology license, reimbursement for which is pending ongoing efforts by CNSE management and state government officials.

Net Assets continue to be in a negative position, including additional unfunded liability impact of the post-retirement benefit obligation. Below is a summary of the components of net assets as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

NET ASSETS (000’s) March 2013 June 2012

Designated for campuses $188,856 $ 185,432 Invested in fixed assets, net of related debt 20,613 23,937 Intangible assets, net of related debt 41,768 40,350 Corporate reserve 1,385 2,975 Investment reserve (12,192) (21,877) Post-retirement benefit obligation (295,730) (303,580) Other net assets (39,066) (38,571) Total unrestricted net deficit $ (94,366) $ (111,334)

• The current ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, is slightly lower than fiscal 2012 year-end, going from 1.29 as of June 2012 to 1.22 as of March 2013. The decrease is mainly due to the effect on investment balances of the spend-down of BioBAT funds as well as the timing of deferred revenue balances. The NACUBO standard for the current ratio is 2.0.

• Debt burden ratio, or the proportion of payments of interest and principal to total operating expenses, is at 4.2%. Benchmark level for this ratio is about 7%. While the current level is lower than the benchmark, RF has had still lower debt burden ratios in recent years. The ratio has increased over prior year level of 2.4% due to the interest and principal payments required on the capital leases referred to above; the FY 2012 payments were less than they will be by the end of FY 2013, since the leases started partway through FY 2012.

• Primary reserve ratio, adjusted to exclude the impact of the post-retirement obligation, has decreased slightly; it was 1.07 as of March 31, 2013, compared to 1.11 as of year-end June 30, 2012. Levels remain above the benchmark of 0.4 for this ratio, which measures an institution’s operating flexibility and resources for strategic initiatives.

STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES KEY POINTS- Compared to same period in the prior year

• Sponsored program revenue for the fiscal 2013 year-to-date increased $114.8 million, or 17.4%, compared to

fiscal year-to-date 2012. Decreases of $14 million in federal revenue were more than offset by increases of $41.1 million from New York State and local sponsors and $87.7 million from business and industry sponsors. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) awards decreased $15.4 million or (-59.7%) compared to prior year as activity on those awards continued to tail off. This decrease included a $14.3 million decrease on direct federal ARRA awards and a $1.1 million decrease on federal flow-through. Highlights of this and other sponsored program variances compared to prior year:

o Total federal revenue, excluding ARRA awards, actually increased $9.6 million or 3.6% when compared to prior year, attributed mainly to increases from the US department of Energy.

o Federal flow through revenue decreased $9.2 million or (-7.7%) compared to prior year, attributed mainly to decreases of $2.6 million from NYS Department of Health, $2.8 million from Business and Industry, $2.1 million from several other agencies and $1.8 million from NYS Office of Children and Family Services.

o New York State and local revenue increased $41.1 million or 36.1% compared to prior year mainly due to NFX construction-related increases of $30 million in revenue from the Empire State Development Corporation, $7.5 million from other NYS agencies and $6.3 million from DASNY.

o Private and other revenue increased $87.7 million or 64.4% compared to prior year, with $89.2 million attributed to increases from business and industry at CNSE.

o Indirect sponsored program revenue- the excess of total sponsored revenue over direct sponsored expenses excluding depreciation of intangible licenses- decreased by 2.9% from prior year. This was mainly due to the change in revenue mix noted above; indirect cost recoveries are less on state- and privately-sponsored awards than on federally-sponsored awards.

• Investment income: o March year-to-date (YTD) investment income of $13.6 million is mostly attributed to improved

market conditions in the half of the FY 2013, compared to the prior year-to-date period’s investment income of $4.4 million. The fiscal YTD return on operational funds was 4.85%.

o Additionally, YTD investment return for the VEBA Trust was $12.2 million. The VEBA Trust is a separate legal entity and, as such, VEBA activity is not reported in the Research Foundation financial statements.

• Inventions and licenses income decreased $4.6 million, due to the decreased sales volume on Centocor agreement caused mainly by increased generic drug competition.

• Other income increased $15 million; this included $10 million grant received from affiliate FRMC to help fund the 28nm technology license, approximately $1.6 million at CNSE for STC Third Party recharges and $3.4 million from the recognition of the deferred revenue gain on the sale-leaseback assets at CNSE.

• While administration support costs were flat compared to the prior year, other program support, e.g. costs to support third-party recharge and other nonsponsored activity at campuses, increased relating to the increase in other income volume noted above. In total, administration and support costs increased approximately 12% compared to the prior year. See page 15 for more information on administration and support costs.

• The RF transferred $3.5 million to affiliate organization FRMC for the construction of NFX facilities. This was reflected as transfer to affiliate organization FRMC as “other changes to net assets.” Funding for this transfer was obtained from the fiscal 2012 sale-leaseback transaction.

• The post-retirement related change other than net periodic benefit cost was a $7.9 million increase to net assets, compared with last year’s $46.5 million decrease. This is due to interest rate fluctuations; the post-retirement liability is updated quarterly to reflect estimated impacts of those fluctuations.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW KEY POINTS • Operating cash outflows reflected the expenditures from the BioBAT building project (reflected on the cash

flow statement as “other payments”), while investing cash inflows were high in order to provide cash to meet those operating expenditures.

• Financing cash outflows mainly resulted from paydown of the sale-leasebacks entered into in FY 2012.

(1) Decrease is primarily due to expenses associated with Empire State Development Corp. International SEMATECH Manufacturing Initiative Capital Grant of $5.2M FY12 over FY13.(2) Increase is primarily due to prior year reclassification of expenditures from the University of Albany CID program to other lines due to catch up of recording detailed classification of foreign advances, $6.9M. No net impact to expense.(3) Increase is primarily due to NFX facility lease payments of $9M, new for FY13, partly offset by other CNSE lease.(4) Increase in fiscal year 2013 is primarily due to additional costs over prior year for the Nanofab projects at CNSE of $1.6M.(5) Increase is due to CNSE 450mm programs ($45.0M), as well as $5.9M in spending on the US Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium. (6) Variance in recharge is primarily due to timing at CNSE.(7) The largest portion of this is due to increased NFX facility construction costs of $56.9M in FY13 included in this line.

NOTE: Prior year balances are presented to conform with current year classifications.

(2) Decrease is primarily due to ($2.7M) resulting from nonrecurring prior year expense at Stony Brook.(3) Increase was driven by approximately $2.8M in Oracle upgrade costs.(4) Increase is primarily due to timing of amortization of the two sets of CNSE Sale leaseback assets in FY13. Prior year-to-date through March 31, 2012 included only one of those sale leasebacks, and it started in the 2nd quarter. Net impact is a $3.4M increase over prior year.(5) Decrease is primarily due to timing associated with accruals and chargebacks.(6) Increase is primarily due to activity at Stony Brook for construction costs, including retrofit of labs.

PART 4: FINANCIAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Quarter ending March 31, 2013 The Finance Office continuously reviews the financial condition of the Research Foundation and assesses the financial risks to the corporation. Financial risks identified by management are being addressed by continuous monitoring of investment and accounts receivable balances, as well as initiatives to reduce fringe benefit and other administrative costs in conjunction with the Strategic Plan. These financial risks, along with operational, sponsored program, entity-level and information technology risks, have been incorporated into a corporate Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. This risk assessment identifies current top risks and provides the Finance Office’s recommendation for mitigating or managing the risk. In the chart on the following page, various risk areas are identified with risk levels plotted for illustrative purposes. Below is a guide to how those risks are presented: Strategy Used to manage . . . Responsible Role Red Area- Risks to Mitigate

Risks that are likely to happen and have a high impact. They must be eliminated or transferred away from the RF.

The Board Finance Committee will be kept updated on measures needed to mitigate the risk, and vote on any actions requiring Board approval.

Yellow Area- Risks to Manage

Risks that either have a large impact but are not likely to happen, or they are likely to happen but have a low impact. They can be managed by implementing controls, buying insurance or entering into financial contracts.

The Board approves policies that central office and campus management will implement to manage the risk. The quarterly Financial Statements and Analysis discusses these risks and management activities in these areas.

Green Area- Risks to Monitor and Make do with

Risks that have a moderate to low impact and moderate to low likelihood. They are monitored to ensure changes in risk levels are identified, communicated and addressed.

Central office and campus management have put controls in place and monitor these risks. More significant unforeseen events are covered by self-funded reserves.

FINANCIAL RISKS- HIGHER-RISK BALANCE SHEET AREAS

Item: Accounts Receivable- Sponsored Programs Top Risk: Large receivable balances and aging profile of the balances negatively affects the

corporation’s cash flow and use of working capital over an extended period of time. Recommendation: As seen in prior year in the case of NYSTAR, continued engagement with New York State,

particularly agencies and authorities with significant aged balances is an important part of management’s strategy to reduce A/R balances.

Status: The Sponsored Programs staff monitors status of A/R. Additionally, RF senior management

intends to engage with state officials as needed. Significant future reductions to the aged balances, along with timely and complete collections of NYS balances, would result in reduced risk assessment.

Item: Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation Top Risk: Size of, and potential growth to, the unfunded liability beyond the ability of the assets held in

the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) trust to pay future expenses. Recommendation:

• Continue to evaluate the expected growth rate of the unfunded benefit obligation at newly revised cost levels. Future increases in cost growth rates could be mitigated by further changes. It is noted that further increases to employee contributions are planned for fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

• Further increases to funding the liability could be evaluated as a means of more quickly attaining 75% funding of the funding liability.

• A fringe benefit review is expected to be performed every two years.

Status:

As of March 31, 2013, the discount rate has gone up to around 4.23%, compared to the rate as of June 30, 2012, which was 4.05%. This increase indicates a potential decrease in the calculated liability as of the fiscal 2013 year-end. The current-year increase is smaller than the prior year’s decrease in rates, therefore the fiscal 2013 decrease in required liability is expected to be significantly less than the $90 million increase to liability caused by fiscal 2012’s rate change. Due to changes in expected rates of return experienced across the board by pension and post-retirement plans throughout the marketplace, earlier this fiscal year the RF Board approved a revision to the funding policy, assuming a 7.5% return on the VEBA assets. This result in an increased funding contribution from $6.6 million to $8.0 million.

The chart below reflects the impact of these changing rates on both the funding levels and the funding liability. While the balance sheet liability reflects accounting standards for actuarial accrued liabilities, the funding liability is a more realistic valuation based on today’s statistics on retirement ages and expected rates of return for funded assets. The proportion of assets relative to the funding liability is expected to improve over the next several years, due to continued funding coupled with investment gains. The expected proportion for 2013 fiscal year-end is about 55%.

Item: Net Assets Top Risk: A negative net assets position threatens the financial viability of the corporation. In addition

to meeting expected operating costs, the corporation needs to have the means to meet possible new costs relating to strategic goals, particularly collaborations.

Recommendation:

Several actions to preserve capital, reduce liabilities and decrease balance sheet risks are in place, including: • The withholding of investment income for a period of time until retained investment

income brings the investment income reserve closer to positive territory. This withholding is expected to continue into fiscal year 2014.

• Work with campuses to minimize the risk assumed on at-risk receivables based on risk tolerance parameters.

• Increases to participant contributions to help reduce the RF’s unfunded retiree health liability.

• Strategic plan- driven measures to increase sponsored program and intellectual property revenues to provide greater cash inflows and a stronger balance sheet.

Status: With respect to monitoring of campuses based on risk tolerance parameters, the following

campuses are in an intolerable range according to the RF’s Risk Tolerance policy:

i. CNSE has exceeded their threshold due to having $31.4 million in expenditures on At

Risk awards. $25.7 million of this is related to a grant with the Empire State Development Corporation and $5.4 million is related to grants from NYS Department of Economic Development; both of these are expected to be collectible.

ii. UAlbany has also exceeded its threshold, due to $5.8 million in At-Risk expenditures, of which $3.0 million was from the NYS Office of Children and Family Services.

iii. Upstate Medical University is in the intolerable range due to having approximately $11.4 million of over expended agency awards. These deficits, which are monitored by Upstate and RF’s Finance Offices, are offset by surplus balances on other agency awards.

iv. Old Westbury remains in the intolerable range due to $721k on their Research

Management and Support (RMS) accounts.

v. Plattsburgh is in the intolerable range due to having approximately $583K in expenditures on At Risk awards primarily due to an award with Empire State Development Corporation ($351K).

vi. System Administration – Provost is in the intolerable range for having a deficit balance of

approximately $2.3 million on their RMS awards. RF has been working with SUNY’s CFO on key business decisions. A corrective action plan has been implemented.

The other recommended actions are all in process. When the retiree health adjustments to net assets, other than operational expenses for retiree health, are subtracted from the past several years’ activity, progress has been made on improvement of the net assets level. Such adjustments have aggregated a negative $94 million in the past three years. The risk level is expected to be decreased within the next several years, reflecting increased financial strength and ability to carry out the RF’s mission in an environment of decreasing available governmental funding.

OPERATING PLAN KEY POINTS

• Campuses provide projections for Grants and Contracts revenues for the Operating Plan. Based on fiscal

year to date activity as of March 31, 2013, direct funding for Grants and Contracts programs is ahead of 2013 Plan projections by 7.7% when annualized. Cost recoveries for Grants and Contracts, if annualized, are tracking slightly below projections. Investment income for the third quarter appears to be in line with estimated targets, if not slightly ahead, due to an upswing in the market.

• Corporate Reserve: As of the end of March 2013, the corporate reserve has a balance of $2.4 million which includes estimated funding from investment income of $2.2 million. The Corporate Reserve funded $4 million to Research technology services, $250,000 to the Technology Accelerator Fund and $900,000 to SUNY Press support in FY 2013.

• Investment reserve: The investment reserve currently has a negative $12.0 million balance as a result of not allocating the significant investment losses from fiscal year 2009 to the campuses. Starting in fiscal year 2009, any investment income has been withheld from the campuses to restore the reserve levels.

• Fringe Benefit Balance: As of March 2013, there is an unfunded balance in the fringe benefit pool of $984

thousand. This is a decrease of $2.5 million from the June 2012 balance of $3.5 million.

• Operational Cash: Analysis of operational cash shows how well the RF is able to cover expenditures prior to reimbursement without having to use the line of credit. Operational cash comprises campus cash balances, and program advances. Campus cash balances reflect campus unexpended allocations as well as royalties and fees received, net of the effect of accounts receivable and encumbrances. Program advances consist of advances received from sponsors and agencies, line of credit borrowings, and other designated credit balances such as outstanding checks. As of March 2013, total operating cash is $214.9 million, which includes advances from sponsors of $93.4 million and agencies of $20.3 million.

The RF maintains lines of credit to provide additional flexibility in cash management and to cover expenditures due to lack of sufficient working capital for specific campuses. CNSE and University at Albany are in the project line of credit for $24.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
