Independent Auditor’s Report The Board of Trustees Barry University and Subsidiary Miami, Florida Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Barry University and Subsidiary (the “University”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the University’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Barry University and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 13, 2017 on our consideration of the University's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the University's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Founded in 1940, Barry University is a four-year Catholic university sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Michigan, and is governed by an independent, self-perpetuating board of trustees (the “Board of Trustees”). Barry University, whose main campus is located in Miami Shores, Florida, offers more than 103 undergraduate, graduate, professional, and doctoral programs to approximately 8,679 full and part-time students at multiple sites throughout the state of Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Barry University and its subsidiary; 6484 Indian Creek Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), (collectively, the “University”).

The University has a 61.64% interest as the general partner in the Partnership, with the remaining interest held by unrelated minority partners. The Partnership holds land as an investment and earns rental revenues through a ground lease arrangement.

The University holds a 35% equity investment in the South Florida Instructional Television, Inc. (SFITV), which holds licenses for educational broadband service channels. The University acquired this interest in 1985 for no initial investment.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Net assets, revenues, and gains or losses are classified into three categories of net assets based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The three net asset categories reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Unrestricted — Net assets which are free of donor-imposed restrictions; all revenues, gains, and losses that are not changes in permanently or temporarily restricted net assets.

Temporarily Restricted — Net assets whose use by the University is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by the passage of time or that can be fulfilled or removed by actions of the University pursuant to those stipulations.

Permanently Restricted — Net assets whose use by the University is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire with the passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions.

The remainder of this page intentionally left blank.



10

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management relies on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making its judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, changes in net assets, and cash flows of the University and its subsidiary, the Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transaction are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The University generally maintains cash on deposit with financial institutions in excess of federally insured amounts.

Investments

Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are measured at fair value in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. As described in Note 2, the University purchased certain properties as investments, consisting of the Sinai Plaza Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (the “Nursing and Rehabilitation Center”), the residence for the University’s president, and an additional investment property that is leased to a third party, all of which are measured at fair value.

The University is not in the business of leasing property or conducting nursing home activities. Based on such, the University has determined to account for these properties as investments and value the properties at fair value, consistent with all of its other investments.

Interest and dividends are included as investment income in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are recognized as changes in net assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities. Unless specifically identified, all investment income and unrealized and realized gains and losses are recorded in unrestricted revenues, gains, and other support.




11

Student Accounts Receivable

Student accounts receivable consist of amounts due from students for tuition, fees, and room and board for the current term and for prior completed terms adjusted for any scholarships and certain grant funds received. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded in the period received. The allowance for doubtful accounts of student accounts receivable is based on the aging of the outstanding balance and historical collection rates. The University fully reserves all outstanding balances greater than 360 days, which it deems to be uncollectible.

Loans and Notes Receivable

Loans and notes receivable consist primarily of amounts loaned to students through loan programs sponsored by the federal government. This program includes the Perkins student loan program and the nursing faculty loan program. The University fully reserves all outstanding balances greater than 360 days, which it deems to be uncollectible. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the University closed out its federal Perkins loan program and transferred approximately $829,000 of the loans to the Federal Government.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

The University’s capitalization policy is $5,000 or greater with estimated useful life of more than one year. Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities, or extend useful lives are capitalized, as are interest costs during the period of construction. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Donated assets are recorded at fair value at the time of receipt of the contributions. In the absence of donor-imposed restrictions on the use of the asset, gifts of long-lived assets are reported as unrestricted support.

Buildings 40 years

Roof and cooling towers 30 years

Elevators 25 years

Building and land improvements 20 years

Furniture, Fixtures and equipment 7 years

Computer equipment 3 years

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds such cash flows, the asset is considered to be impaired. The impairment charge to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. There were no impairments during fiscal years 2017 and 2016.



12

Debt Issuance Costs and discount on bonds

Costs incurred in connection with bond issuances are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs are included as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities. The related amortization totaled $55,411 and $54,816 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Premium on Bonds

Bond premium are presented as a component of bonds payable in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. Premium on bonds are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of the premium on bonds is recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities. The related amortization totaled $79,746 for each of the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Insurance Programs and Policies

The University is a member of the Florida Independent Colleges and Universities Risk Management Association, LLC (FICURMA), which was formed in December 2003. A claims-made insurance program for FICURMA’s members provides coverage for workers’ compensation, general liability, property, and vehicle liability in additional to other exposures, such as hurricanes and wind. FICURMA’s members make annual contributions into the program based on an independent actuarial valuation, which include a $400,000 retention level for workers’ compensation and $400,000 retention level for general liability and vehicle liability and a 400,000 retention level for property. Claims in excess of self-insurance retention limits are covered under excess coverage policies with the program’s carrier up to various aggregate limits. The deductible to members for workers’ compensation and general liability claims is $0. FICURMA was fully funded by its members as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and management believes that the program has the ability to cover the members’ known and incurred but not reported claims exposures.

In April 2010 and 2009, FICURMA made payments to members for a return of premium based upon the experience of its members related to all claims resolved as of November 2009 and 2008, respectively. These amounts were recorded as a reduction to insurance expense; no payments have been made since April 2010. Pursuant to the return of premium, the University and other member institutions executed debenture notes with FICURMA to allow FICURMA to continue to work independently of its members. The University provided funds in the amount of $100,000 and $910,000 to FICURMA in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The notes are recorded as component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. The notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the annual aggregate rate of return on all of FICURMA’s invested capital, which equates to 1.52%. The principal amount of the $100,000 and $910,000 notes mature on April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.



13

Insurance expense related to the program totaled $3,012,708 and $3,188,039 in 2017 and 2016, respectively, and has been recorded in institutional support in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities.

The University is the owner and beneficiary of several life insurance policies with a recorded cash surrender value of $2,083,493 and $1,958,218 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These policies are recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

Tuition and Fee Revenue

The University recognizes tuition and fee revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a student exists, services have been delivered to the student, and related billings to the student are determinable and probable of collection. Amounts billed to students in advance are deferred and are recognized as revenue in the term in which the service is provided. The University has reduced its tuition and fee revenue by $48,371,672 and $51,572,524 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to reflect University financial aid and discounts provided to assist students. Revenues and expenses related to summer sessions, which are conducted over the fiscal year end, are reported entirely within the fiscal year in which the session is predominantly conducted.

Contributions

Unconditional promises to give (pledges) are recognized as contribution revenue when the donor’s commitment is received. Pledges with payments due to the University in future periods are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted or permanently restricted net assets at the estimated present value of future cash flows net of an allowance for certain promises that are estimated as uncollectible. The discount rate used to measure the present value of the pledge receivable at the time of the gift is used throughout the life of the pledge. Amortization of the discount due to payments or changes in future payment schedules is recorded as an increase or decrease in contribution revenue and the pledge receivable balance.

Conditional promises are recorded when donor stipulations are substantially met. Conditional promises are considered to be available for general operations of the University, unless specifically restricted by the donor. The University reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or the purpose of the restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Donor-restricted contributions received and collected and/or satisfied during the same year are recorded in the unrestricted net assets class.

Auxiliary Enterprises

Auxiliary enterprise operations consist primarily of student housing, book sales, student center services, and activities under an FAA contract (see Note 10). Fee charges are directly related to the costs of services rendered and are recognized as revenue when the services or goods are delivered.



14

Clinic Revenue

Clinic revenue consists of revenue generated at the University’s clinic facilities and is recorded upon cash receipt. The University has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the University at amounts different from its established rates. Clinic revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered.

Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust

Beneficial interest in perpetual trust consists of the University’s interest in two perpetual trust funds that are invested in equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The beneficial interests in perpetual trusts are recorded at fair value in permanently restricted assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

Contributions received of interests in perpetual trusts are recorded at fair value as of the date of the contribution. Distributions received from the perpetual trust funds to the University are included as unrestricted investment income in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as changes in net assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities and are recorded in permanently restricted other income. Deferred Student Revenue Student deposits consist of payments made by students before year-end for classes conducted after year-end to be recognized as revenues in future periods. Deferred Revenue

Revenues received in advance of the period in which it will be earned is reported as deferred revenue, including funds received in advance for the University’s education programs.

Federal and State Income Taxes

The University is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include an income tax provision, except for certain taxable transactions. The University complies with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 (formerly Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation (FASB) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). Under ASC 740, the University must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. Management of the University does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and accordingly has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The University has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, the University has filed Internal Revenue Service Form 990 tax returns as required and all other applicable returns in those jurisdictions where it is required. The University believes that it is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. However, the University is still open to examination by taxing authorities from fiscal year 2013 forward. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there was no interest or penalties recorded or included in the consolidated statements of activities.

Earnings from unrelated business activities were not significant for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Derivative

The University entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage the interest rate risk on its Series 2007 Bonds effective October 29, 2007. The fair value of the swap agreement has been recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position of the University amounting to $826,461 and $1,291,912 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and it is included within other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. Any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are recorded as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of activities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments held by the University as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, are based on a variety of factors and assumptions and may not necessarily be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be realized in the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement of such financial instruments. The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, student accounts receivable, contributions receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values based on their short-term nature.

The fair values of the University’s investments and beneficial interest in trusts, which are the amounts reported in the statements of financial position, are based on quoted market prices (active and not active), except for the investments in real estate and property, which are based on market comparable values.

Loans payable based on borrowing rates currently available to the University for debt with similar terms and maturities have an estimated fair value of $73,483,000 and $77,900,000 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interests presented in the consolidated statements of financial position reflect the original investment by these noncontrolling interests in the Partnership, along with their accumulated proportional share of the net earnings or losses of the Partnership, plus any contributions, less any dividend distributions. Increases in net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of activities represents the noncontrolling portion of net income or loss that is attributable to the noncontrolling ownership interests in the Partnership.

Reclassification

Certain 2016 financial information has been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. There was no impact on the net assets balances as a result of the reclassification.

Accounting Pronouncements

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the University adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03 – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires all costs incurred to issue debt to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on the University’s net assets, statement of activities, or cash flows for fiscals year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the University adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-07, Fair Value (Topic 820), Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Equivalent), which allows for those entities that have elected the practical expedient to use the net asset value (NAV) as a measure of fair value and to no longer categorize these investments within the fair value hierarchy. The ASU also requires that any NAV-measured investment excluded from the fair value hierarchy table be summarized as an adjustment to the table so that total investments can be reconciled to the statement of financial position. The adoption resulted only in changes to the University’s investment disclosures, and is included in the fair value hierarchy table in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. FASB issued ASU 2015-14 that deferred the effective date for the University until annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted subject to certain limitations. The amendments in this update are required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect being recognized at the date of initial application. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial positon and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements for lessees and lessors. The new standard applies a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires, for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months, an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a liability to make lease payments to be recorded. The ASU is effective for the University’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958) and Health Care Entities (Topic 954) – Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities. The ASU amends the current reporting model for nonprofit organizations and enhances their required disclosures. The major changes include: (a) requiring the presentation of only two classes of net assets now entitled “net assets without donor restrictions” and “net assets with donor restrictions”, (b) modifying the presentation of underwater endowment funds and related disclosures, (c) requiring the use of the placed in service approach to recognize the expirations of restrictions on gifts used to acquire or construct long-lived assets absent explicit donor stipulations otherwise, (d) requiring that all nonprofits present an analysis of expenses by function and nature in either the statement of activities, a separate statement, or in the notes and disclose a summary of the allocation methods used to allocate costs, (e) requiring the disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information regarding liquidity and availability of resources, (f) presenting investment return net of external and direct expenses, and (g) modifying other financial statement reporting requirements and disclosures intended to increase the usefulness of nonprofit financial statements. The ASU is effective for the University’s financial statements for fiscal years beginning after



17

December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of the ASU must be applied on a retrospective basis for all years presented although certain optional practical expedients are available for periods prior to adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

3. Fair Market Value Measurements

The University complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets which are unadjusted and accessible as of the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets and liabilities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.



18

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The University determines fair value as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 on the following assets using these input levels:

The University’s investments include debt and equity securities and certain other investments. Cumulative unrealized gains on these investments totaled $10,086,513 and $7,927,650 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The fair value on these investments increased by $2,158,863 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The change in fair market value has been included within net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities. The University incurred $97,794 and $101,726 in fees related to the management of the investments for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The University accounts for its investments categorized as Level 1 through the use of quoted market prices for those investments in debt and equity securities with readily determinable market values.

The University accounts for its investments categorized as Level 2 through the use of observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

The University’s investments categorized as Level 2 consist of corporate bonds, commodities, and U.S. government obligations. The U.S. government obligations are held in satisfaction of the Reserve Fund Requirement for the Series 1998, 2011, and 2012 Bonds for fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (see Note 9). As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the University had an established debt service reserve of $6,538,641 and $6,536,200, respectively. The reserve is held in U.S. government obligations. Such amount has been classified as an investment held for debt service reserve in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

The University’s investments categorized as Level 3 consist of beneficial interest in perpetual trust; land and buildings held for investment; and a collection of books related to theology, philosophy, religious studies, and supporting disciplines. The land and buildings held for investment include the Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a nursing facility owned by the University and leased to a third party, the residence for the University’s president, the land investment in the Partnership, and an additional investment property leased to a third party. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the University’s Level 3 investment include selection of certain investment rates for real estate investments (discount rate, terminal capitalization rate, and overall capitalization rate) and present value of expected cash flows for beneficial interest in trusts. Significant fluctuations in any of those inputs in isolation could result in material change fair value measurement.

The Nursing and Rehabilitation Center lease agreement is dated February 6, 1996, and amended November 6, 2000, April 8, 2003, and March 1, 2007. The lease period of the land and building expires January 31, 2021, and grants the lessee the option to renew the original term of the lease for one renewal period. The renewal period is to begin February 1, 2021, and expire January 31, 2032. The estimated fair value of the Nursing and Rehabilitation Center as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 is $8,300,000 and $7,900,000, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the University recorded an unrealized gain on the fair value of this investment of $400,000 and $700,000, respectively. The valuation was based on an independent third-party appraisal using an income capitalization approach based on the value of the lease.

The University owns land as an investment and earns rental revenues through a ground lease arrangement as part of the Partnership. The land was valued at $1,500,000 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The University recorded no unrealized gain or loss during the year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The valuation was based on an independent third-party appraisal based on the market value of the leased fee interest.



22

In June 2008, the University acquired an investment property for $841,209 designated as the president’s residence. This property was valued at $875,000 and $830,000 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The University recorded an unrealized gain of $45,000 and $40,000 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Valuations of the property was based on an independent third-party appraisal using recent sales prices and other comparable properties within the geographic marketplace of the investments.

The University holds an investment in a private hedge fund. The hedge fund is valued at $1,343,586 and $1,911,374 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The University recorded an unrealized loss on the investment of $567,788 and an unrealized gain of $325,943 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The University estimated the fair value of the hedge funds primarily using the information provided by the fund manager and historical audited financial results of the hedge fund.

The University has a 35% interest in SFITV and accounts for the related transactions in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting dictates that an investor initially records an investment in the stock of an investee at cost and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The University’s initial investment was nominal, and SFITV had no activity prior to fiscal year 2009.

On July 24, 2008, SFITV entered into a long-term lease with an unrelated entity, whereby the entity leased three broadband channels from SFITV through December 2016, with additional renewal options requiring Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval. Under the terms of the lease, SFITV received a $3,000,000 initial payment and received annual lease payments that escalate from $378,000 in the first year to $858,000 in the final year. Total payments that were received under the long-term lease were $7,750,000 recognized the revenues earned from the long-term lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

On January 4, 2017, SFITV extended the lease agreement for another 10 years through December 18, 2026. Under the extension, the annual lease payments escalate from $858,000 to $3,258,000 in the final year. Total payments that will be received under the long-term lease are $21,380,000. SFITV continues to recognize the revenues earned from the long-term lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. During fiscal year 2017, SFITV recognized $1,534,000 of revenue and presented deferred revenues of $723,053 as of June 30, 2017.

During fiscal years 2017 and 2016, the University’s cumulative portion of SFITV’s net income amounted to $3,086,650 and $2,549,750, respectively. The University has received cumulative cash distributions of approximately $3,000,000 from SFITV through June 30, 2017. Such distributions are not refundable, and the University is not liable for obligations of SFITV or committed to provide financial support. As such, the University recorded $233,535 and $236,102 as earnings of an equity method investee in the accompanying consolidated statements of activities for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

4. Endowment Investments

The University’s endowment consists of approximately 60 individual donor-restricted funds established for a variety of purposes. As required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on donor-imposed restrictions.



23

Endowment investments, presented at fair value, are composed of unrestricted endowments, temporarily restricted endowments, and permanent endowments. Unrestricted endowments are restricted by the University’s board. The board can appropriate as much of the net appreciation on board-designated endowments as is prudent considering the University’s present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on its investments, price-level trends, and general economic conditions. Temporarily restricted endowments consist of funds limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by the passage of time or that can be fulfilled or removed by actions of the University pursuant to those stipulations. Permanent endowments consist of donor-restricted funds whose use by the University is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire with the passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the University. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

The University’s Board of Trustees interpreted the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (FUPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the original value of any donor-restricted gift, as of the gift date, absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result, the University classifies as permanently restricted net assets (1) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (2) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (3) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is characterized as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the University in a manner consistent with the standard for expenditure prescribed by FUPMIFA.

In accordance with FUPMIFA, the University considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted funds:

1) The duration and preservation of the fund;

2) The purposes of the University and the endowment fund;

3) General economic conditions;

4) The possible effect of inflation and deflation;

5) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments;

6) Other resources of the University; and

7) The investment policies of the University.

From time-to-time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor or FUPMIFA requires the University to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. These deficiencies result from unfavorable market fluctuations that occurred shortly after newly restricted contributions were received. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there are no permanently restricted endowment whose fair value of assets is less than the level required by donor stipulation.

The University has developed an investment policy for all of its investable assets whose general purpose is to preserve the capital and purchasing power of the University and to provide sufficient investment return for current and future spending needs. The University has adopted a total return strategy that is designed to provide balance to the overall structure of the University’s investment program over a long-term period. The endowment net asset composition by fund type as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, is composed of the following:

The University’s objective is to fully utilize endowment total return for purposes designated by respective donors. Barry University’s endowment distribution policy must balance support of the current generation of student and faculty with the need to preserve the College’s endowment for future generations. The Trustee-mandated formula for distributing endowment return for distributing endowment return for support of current operations targets the annual distribution percentage between 2 percent and 6 percent of a three-year endowment market value. The actual annual distribution percentage is set each year by the Investment Committee. Surplus return, if any, is reinvested for future distribution. The University also distributes 4% of endowment scholarship funds as approved by investment committee and reviewed annually.

7. Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust

In March 2008, the University was notified that it received a bequest that consisted of interests in two perpetual trust funds. Since that time, the trust funds were subject to legal proceedings pending a final resolution. On August 18, 2011, the Surrogate’s Court of New York entered an order confirming the University’s entitlement to the interest in the perpetual trust funds. As a result, the University was entitled to receive distributions of five percent (5%) of the average value of the funds on an annual basis from the bequest. During the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the University received a distribution of $183,208 and $190,000, respectively, which is recorded as investment income on the consolidated statements of activities. Beneficial interest in perpetual trust as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $3,947,951 and $3,739,111, respectively.

The University’s beneficial interest in the perpetual trust is composed of debt and equity securities that are permanently restricted. The fair value of these investments increased by $208,840 and decreased by $122,155 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Series 2007 Bonds

On October 24, 2007, the Authority issued $10,000,000 of Pinellas County Educational Facilities Authority Revenue and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2007 (“Series 2007 Bonds”). The proceeds of the sale of the Series 2007 Bonds have been loaned to the University (the “2007 Loan”) to (i) fund the construction of a building for the Institute for Community Health & Minority Medicine and related improvements of the University campus; (ii) refund a taxable loan dated May 7, 2004, from Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”), to the University in the original amount of $7,300,000; and (iii) pay certain costs of issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds.

Pursuant to the supplemental loan agreement between the University and the Authority, Barry University is solely responsible for all payments due under Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2007 Bonds mature October 1, 2037. The Series 2007 Bonds are variable-rate obligations secured by an irrevocable, direct pay, letter of credit issued by the Bank on behalf of the University for the benefit of bondholders, which expires on January 31, 2021. The University is responsible for reimbursing the Bank for all draws under the letter of credit. The 2007 Loan Agreement is subject to certain covenants and financial ratios specified in the Master Trust Indenture (the “Indenture”) and supplemental indenture, as amended.

In connection with the bond issue, the University entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank to manage the interest rate risk on its Series 2007 Bonds in an initial notional amount of $10,000,000, effective October 29, 2007. The agreement swaps the University’s variable rate for a fixed rate of 3.9%. The notional amount declines over time and terminates on October 1, 2027. The University began making payments under the agreement on December 1, 2007. The University has recorded the fair value of the swap agreement as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, as a liability in the amount of $826,461 and $1,291,912, respectively, within other liabilities in its consolidated statements of financial position, and the change in fair value as interest expense within its consolidated statements of activities. The fair market value classification of the swap agreement is Level 2.

The University is required to make loan payments in amounts sufficient for the Authority to pay the principal and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, or upon redemption, and to maintain the required amount in the reserve fund established under the Indenture.

Series 2011 Bonds

On August 2, 2011, the Authority issued $38,575,000 of Pinellas County Educational Facilities Authority Revenue and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2011 (“Series 2011 Bonds”). The proceeds of the sale of the Series 2011 Bonds have been loaned to the University (the “2011 Loan”) to (i) finance the cost of acquisitions, construction, and equipping of certain educational facilities and other capital improvements to be owned and operated by the University and to reimburse advances made by the University to pay a portion of such costs; (ii) refinance certain obligations of the University which were used to finance the acquisition, construction, and improvements to certain educational facilities of the University; (iii) make a deposit in an amount equal to the Series 2011 Reserve Fund Requirement to the 2011 Reserve Fund established for the Series 2011 Bonds; (iv) pay a portion of the interest coming due on the Series 2011 Bonds through August 1, 2012; and (v) pay certain costs of issuance of the Series 2011 Bonds.



30

As referenced above, certain proceeds of the Series 2011 Bonds were used to refinance certain existing debt. On August 2, 2011, the outstanding principal balances of $6,912,870, relating to the Bank of America $7 million term loan, for the construction on the law school campus and $4,960,761 for the Bank of America $5.2 million term loan, for the purchase of an apartment complex for student housing were repaid.

Series 2012 Bonds

On March 28, 2012, the Authority issued $31,445,000 of Pinellas County Educational Facilities Authority Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2012 (“Series 2012 Bonds”). The proceeds of the sale of the Series 2012 Bonds have been loaned to the University (the “2012 Loan”) to (i) fully refund the Series 2000 Bonds in the amount, (ii) partially refund Series 1998 Bonds, and (iii) pay certain costs of issuance of the Series 2012 Bonds.

On March 29, 2012, the University used the proceeds from the Series 2012 Bonds to pay $15,555,000 of the Series 2000 Bonds.

As of June 30, 2017, management of the University believes they were in compliance with the debt covenants under the Master Trust Indenture with the exception of Section 3.7(a) of the Master Trust Indenture which requires maintenance of net operating revenues of at least 110% of the fiscal year's debt service requirement. This noncompliance does not cause acceleration of payment of the bonds. The University is in process of curing the noncompliance.

Barry University has capital lease agreements with U.S. Bank, CSI Leasing, First American, SCG Capital, Bank of America leasing, Huntington Technology Finance, Cort Business Service Lease and California National Bank.

Litigation

The University is, at times, subject to threatened or filed legal action. Based upon counsel’s advice and its knowledge of these cases, management does not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the University’s future financial condition, results of activities, or cash flows. However, there can be no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Grants

The University receives state and federal grant funding in support of their educational missions. Grants are subject to annual renewal and periodic amendment and require the fulfillment of certain conditions as set forth in each instrument of grant. Failure to fulfill the conditions could result in the return of the funds to grantors. Management believes that the University has met all conditions under their grant programs.

Chartwells Agreement

On June 1, 2015, the University entered into a Food Service Agreement (the Agreement) with Chartwells to provide and manage the University’s food service program. The agreement is for a ten-year period expiring on May 31, 2024, with additional five year options to renew upon mutual agreement by both parties. Either party may terminate the agreement by giving a 90-days’ notice prior to the proposed termination date. As part of the agreement, the University received certain advances from Chartwells in the form of a signing bonus, financial investments to improve dining facilities, guaranteed commissions and other concessions in exchange for the exclusive rights to use the University facilities and equipment. These advances are refundable to Chartwells should the University terminate the agreement prior to its expiration, the amount of the refundable amount is proportionate to the unexpired portion of the terms. Accordingly, the University recorded the unamortized portion of these advances amounting to $3,131,096 and $3,658,794 s of June 30, 2017 and 2016 as deferred revenue reported as a component of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards

To the Board of Trustees Barry University and Subsidiary Miami, Florida

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the consolidated financial statements of Barry University and Subsidiary (the “University”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 13, 2017.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we considered the University’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the University’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the University’s consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the University’s consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of consolidated financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the University’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the University’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance For Each Major Federal Program and State Project and Report on Internal Control over Compliance To the Board of Trustees Barry University and Subsidiary Miami, Florida Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State Project We have audited Barry University and Subsidiary’s (the “University”) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Florida Department of Financial Services’ State Project Compliance Supplement, that could have a direct and material effect on each of the University’s major federal programs and state projects for the year ended June 30, 2017. The University’s major federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management’s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards and state financial assistance projects applicable to its federal program and state projects. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the University’s major federal programs and state projects based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”); and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General. Those standards, the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program and state projects occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the University’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our qualified and unmodified opinions on compliance for each major federal program and state projects. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the University’s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Projects In our opinion, the University complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs and state projects for the year ended June 30, 2017. Other Matters The results of our auditing procedures disclosed other instances of noncompliance, which are required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2017-001. Our opinion on each major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters. The University’s responses to the noncompliance findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The University’s responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of noncompliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the responses. Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of the University is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the University’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program and state projects to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state projects and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the University’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

6

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying schedule of federal awards and state projects (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award and state financial assistance project activity of Barry University and Subsidiary (the University) under programs of the federal government and State of Florida for the year ended June 30, 2017. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the “Uniform Guidance”) and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the University, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the University.

The reimbursement of indirect costs reflected in the accompanying financial statements as federal grant revenue is subject to final approval by federal and state grantors and could be adjusted upon the results of these reviews. Management believes that the results of any such adjustment will not be material to the University’s financial position or change in net assets.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Florida Auditor General, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts, if any, shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credit made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. The University has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
