December 13, 2013
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Bridgewater State University for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 . The audit report appears in the financial section and conveys an unqualified opinion of the University’s financial statement .
Numerous factors underscore the good health and overall strength of the University’s financial position . These include:
• A strategic plan that is reviewed quarterly and used for decision making at all levels.
• The success of the student body is supported through the increased graduation rate which grew 4% over the last year .
• The overall endowment of the BSU Foundation and Alumni Association has topped $30 million through continued generosity of our community and increased emphasis on planned giving .
• A culture of fiscal responsibility which has placed emphasis on long-term planning. This year has also seen an increase in state support allowing us to keep student costs constant .
We have initiated a process to clearly identify our values with resulting mission and vision statements . These will be used to undergird a new strategic plan .
Bridgewater State University continues to support our academic programs and students by adding new faculty, remodeling facilities and providing state-of-the-art technology . Since 2012-13 our faculty diversity has increased, and we now employ more women than men in the faculty ranks .
We continue our efforts to create a world-class institution that has a regional focus that is mindful of contributions to the social and economic health of Southeastern Massachusetts .
Sincerely,
Dana Mohler-Faria President

December 14, 2013
To President Mohler-Faria, Members of the Board of Trustees and Citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
We are pleased to present to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Bridgewater State University for the year ended June 30, 2013 . The audit report appears in the Financial Section and conveys an unqualified opinion on the university’s financial statement .

Further, this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report contains all disclosures necessary for a reader to gain an understanding of the university’s financial operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 .
pROFiLE OF THE UNivERSiTYFounded by American public education pioneer Horace Mann in 1840, Bridgewater State University has grown from its first home – a single room in the basement of Bridgewater Town Hall – to become the largest of the nine Massachusetts state universities and the third largest of the 29 public college and university campuses in the commonwealth .
Almost 12,000 full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students are enrolled at Bridgewater; the full-time faculty numbers 300-plus, representing a net gain of more than 65 since 2002 . More than 90 undergraduate and graduate programs are offered by the university’s five colleges and one school (Louis M . Ricciardi College of Business, College of Education and Allied Studies, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Bartlett College of Science and Mathematics, College of Graduate Studies and the School of Social Work) . The 272-acre campus is home to 38 academic, administrative and residential buildings .

In recent years, the university and the commonwealth have committed nearly $3 million for classroom upgrades, $7 million for an extensive library renovation, $5 million for renovations of all dining halls, $6 million for bleachers, press box and synthetic football field and a top-to-bottom renovation and expansion of two residence halls. Currently under construction is a $58 million 500-bed residence hall. The commonwealth’s investment of $98.7 million for Bridgewater State’s new Science and Mathematics Center constitutes the single largest capital project ever undertaken by an institution in the state university system .
Vital to the long-term success of the institution is its recognition throughout the state and nation as an educational leader in the use of technology to improve teaching and learning . The first step in that direction took place in 1992, when Bridgewater State University secured a $10-million federal grant – at the time, the largest federal grant ever awarded to a state university in the United States – to build what has become the John Joseph Moakley Center for Technological Applications .
Together, these developments have combined to strengthen the university’s academic mission and expand its public service role . They were built on a series of initiatives that trace back to 1960, a watershed year in the life of the institution when a full-scale transition from an exclusively teacher-training institution to a comprehensive liberal arts university began .
Until that time, the university had been relatively small – approximately 500 students – but enjoyed a national and international reputation for excellence in teacher preparation . The preparation of the next generation of quality teachers remains a top priority for Bridgewater State University, as evidenced by the institution’s 50-plus years of continuous accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education .
During its time as a normal school, countless faculty and administrators nurtured the school carefully, despite varying degrees of support from the state, and overcame a host of difficult and sometimes dire situations, including a disastrous fire in 1924 that destroyed several of the few buildings that existed on the campus at that time .
While the university’s earliest years were times of great challenge, efforts never faltered to continue strengthening the curriculum, and each succeeding generation left Bridgewater State University stronger than the generation that went before . The thriving and dynamic institution we see today is the best evidence of the success of that enduring commitment .
In fiscal year 2011, the start of the 171st academic year, marked the institution’s official transition to Bridgewater State University . A renaming ceremony held on the steps of Boyden Hall capped the day, replete with 4,000 guests, a dais full of dignitaries, and a flyover by the university’s own aircraft . A special guest was Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who had signed the bill into law on July 28, officially changing the institution’s name to Bridgewater State University .
Bridgewater State University is considered to be a part of the State of Massachusetts primary entity . The funds for Bridgewater State University are included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the State of Massachusetts . The University is a state-supported, coeducational institution of higher education and is governed by an 11-member board under the chairmanship of Louis M . Ricciardi, it is a blend of veterans and future leaders forming a uniquely diversified, yet coherent mix dedicated to advancing the mission of public higher education .
MAJOR iNiTiATivESThe University has embarked upon many strategic planning initiatives . Emphasis has been placed on fostering a rigorous and dynamic academic environment marked by intensive student-faculty engagement . We continue to strive at establishing regional leadership in preparing students for challenging and emerging careers and graduate study as well as enhancing campus participation in diverse and global society . We believe in
8
strengthening institutional relationships with regional partners . We have a strong focus on developing sufficient resources for an attractive, well-staffed and technologically-updated campus . We hope to achieve this by expanding and modernizing campus facilities to accommodate growth and specialized functions, investing in technology to support campus functions, providing high-level professional opportunities to staff and broadening the university’s base of financial resources to support campus initiatives .
The university’s ongoing major transformation is the expansion and renovation of the Conant Science building with the help of a $98 million capital bond bill transforming it into a bona fide science center of Southeastern Massachusetts . The new building will provide specialized laboratory space for faculty and undergraduate researchers, which support the university’s science outreach efforts and will double the space dedicated to math and science programs . Phase I, the new 171,000 square-foot addition of the Conant Science and Mathematics Center took shape and was completed in August 2011 . Phase II, the demolition and renovation portion of the existing building was completed in August 2012 . The entire project will be complete in fiscal year 2014 .
In fiscal year 2009, the university completed its first full academic year in the Bridgewater State University Flight Training Center . The 10,000 square-foot single story commercial building is directly adjacent to the New Bedford Airport, located at 1852 Shawmut Avenue . This flight training facility trains roughly 100 aviation students . From fiscal year 2009 to 2012, the university leased ten aircraft, which were stationed at the facility . The university has hired a chief flight instructor and a number of part-time instructors to train our aviation students . The rejuvenated flight-training program in New Bedford also sponsors the Aviation Career Education (ACE) Summer Camp . This is a weeklong exploration of air travel featuring instruction from experienced pilots, behind-the-scenes airport tours and real and simulated flights . The ACE Camp is available for junior and senior high school students in Southeastern Massachusetts . The ACE Summer Camp is presented in partnership with the Aviation Science Department at Bridgewater State University and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) . On July 1, 2012, the university signed an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase eleven aircraft, ten of which were already being leased by the institution, demonstrating the university’s ongoing commitment to the aviation program .
In the summer of 2007, Bridgewater State University became one of the charter signatories of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), a national initiative focused on using the physical and intellectual resources of higher education to fight global warming . As a signatory, the university joins over 400 other institutions in conducting a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory, undertaking tangible, short-term efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and developing a long-term plan for campus climate neutrality . This collective effort will draw upon the talent and creativity of every segment of the campus community as the university continues to construct green buildings, support climate-friendly purchasing, and infuse sustainability into its curriculum, scholarship and community . In September 2007, the president’s office formed a task force to coordinate these efforts .
Through the extensive information technology and distance education resources available at the university, including the John Joseph Moakley Center for Technological Applications, the university has made technology an integral component of teaching and learning on campus, and is a regional center for the enhancement of teaching through technology for PreK-12 teachers and university faculty .
The university’s growing number of innovative academic programs helps to ensure that Bridgewater State University students are prepared to think critically, communicate effectively and act responsibly within a context of personal and professional ethics . For example, the Academic Achievement Center, and particularly its first-year advising program, is often cited as a model for other institutions to follow . At the same time, the Adrian Tinsley Program for Undergraduate Research represents an unparalleled opportunity for students to work closely with faculty mentors and to present research and creative work at regional and national conferences .

Bridgewater State University benefits from Connect, its regional partnership with other public higher education institutions in the region – the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Massasoit Community College, Bristol Community College and Cape Cod Community College . Connect coordinates the academic, administrative and development activities of public high education in Southeastern Massachusetts, and introduces shared activities and programs among member institutions .
LONg-TERM FiNANCiAL pLANNiNgThe university maintains a long-term reserve account of $14 million to offset any economic down turns and lessen the impact of fee increases to students .
The university under-took a new resource planning process for the FY09 budget year . This systematic effort allowed the institution to: more fully align resource designs with strategic priorities; make integrated decisions with respect to a broad range of resource pools (i .e . operating budgets, human resources, space and equipment); offer department heads and chairs a regular opportunity to assess the challenges and opportunities they face and express that assessment to senior managers; and provide for greater transparency about how resource decisions are made .
Additionally, the university’s integrated strategic plan is the result of more than two years of focused deliberations among administrators, faculty, students, alumni and volunteer leaders, all committed to articulating a bold vision and clear action-oriented agenda critical to the institution’s ongoing pursuit of excellence . The plan was officially approved by the university’s Board of Trustees in December 2009 and is reviewed continuously by the campus leadership .
There are five overarching strategic goals and areas of focus:
• Maximize the intensity, diversity and richness of teaching and learning relationships forged between faculty, students and members of the broader community .
• Promote a rigorous and dynamic institutional environment focused on developing and enhancing the personal and professional growth of all campus citizens .
• Expand the university’s ability to foster the cultural, scientific, economic and intellectual capacity of Southeastern Massachusetts and beyond .
• Increase global and cultural awareness and encourage a diversity of perspectives on campus and in the region .
• Serve as an agent of social justice and sustainable practices, instilling in all members of the university community a deeper understanding of the impact they each have on the greater good and our world .
As a result of the intense planning process and the development of the five Strategic Goals, the university has identified and prioritized critical action items .
SOME COMpLETED ACTiON iTEMS ARE:
BURNELL HALL - RENOvATiONThis project included the renovation of the Burnell Hall cafetorium and gymnasium . The gymnasium is approximately 5,000 square-feet .

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Audit Committee of Bridgewater State University:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bridgewater State University (an Agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) (the “University”), as of and for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the University‘s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of the Bridgewater State University Foundation and the Bridgewater Alumni Association. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Bridgewater State University Foundation and the Bridgewater Alumni Association is based solely on the report of the other auditors. 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
22
2
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity‘s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity‘s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of Bridgewater State University and its discretely presented component units, as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 25 through 37 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management‘s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the University’s basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental schedules contained on pages 65 and 66 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by us and other auditors. In our opinion, based on our audit, the procedures performed as described above, and the report of the other auditors, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The following discussion and analysis offers readers of Bridgewater State University's annual financial report a narrative overview of the financial position and activities of the University and its component units as of and during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. This discussion has been prepared by management along with the financial statements and related footnote disclosures and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes. The financial statements, footnotes and this discussion are the responsibility of management. Bridgewater State University is a comprehensive public four-year institution with more than 11,400 undergraduate and graduate students. Bridgewater State University is the largest of the nine Massachusetts state universities and the third largest of the 29 public college and university campuses in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Commonwealth”). Founded in 1840 by Horace Mann, Bridgewater is home to the nation's oldest permanently sited teacher-preparation program and is one of the most prolific generators of new teachers, training more science and math teachers than any institution in the Commonwealth. Today, Bridgewater offers a broad range of graduate and undergraduate degree programs through its five colleges (Louis M. Ricciardi College of Business, College of Education and Allied Studies, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Bartlett College of Science and Mathematics and College of Graduate Studies). Bridgewater State University awarded nearly 2,300 degrees in 2013, a 44 percent increase since 2002.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The University's financial position, as a whole, remained strong at June 30, 2013 with assets of $242.2 million, liabilities of $149.4 million and deferred inflows of resources of $2.6 million. Net position, which represent the residual interest in the University's assets after liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are deducted and may serve over time as a useful indicator of the University's financial position, increased $4.7 million in fiscal year 2013 to $90.2 million at June 30, 2013.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Bridgewater State University's basic financial statements. Bridgewater State University's basic financial statements comprise two components: 1) the financial statements and 2) the notes to the financial statements. The Financial Statements. The financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of Bridgewater State University's finances in a manner similar to a private-sector college. The University's financial report includes three financial statements: the Statement of Net Position, the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position and the Statement of Cash Flows.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
These statements are prepared in accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) principles. These principles establish standards for external financial reporting for public colleges and universities and require that financial statements be presented on a consolidated basis to focus on the institution as a whole. A description of the financial statements follows. The Bridgewater State University Foundation (the "Foundation”) and the Bridgewater Alumni Association (the "Alumni Association''), component units of the University, were formed to render financial assistance and support to the educational programs and development of the University. Both organizations are legally separate from the University, and the University has no financial responsibility for either organization. The Foundation and the Alumni Association have been included within these financial statements because of the nature and significance of their relationship with the University. Complete financial statements for either organization can be obtained from their respective administrative offices in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. These discretely presented component units have been aggregated into a single combined column on the accompanying financial statements. The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of Bridgewater State University's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of Bridgewater State University is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Net Position includes all assets and liabilities. It is prepared under the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues and assets are recognized when the service is provided and the expenses and liabilities are recognized when others provide the service, regardless of when cash is exchanged. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents information showing how the University's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. the accrual for compensated absences). The Statement of Cash Flows is reported on the direct method. The direct method of cash flow reporting portrays net cash flows from operations as major classes of operating receipts (e.g. tuition and fees) and disbursements (e.g. cash paid to employees for services). The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 34 and 35 require this method to be used.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE UNIVERSITY (continued)
By far the largest portion of Bridgewater State University's net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and equipment), less any related debt, including capital lease obligations, used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. Bridgewater State University uses these capital assets to provide services to students, and support to faculty and administration; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although Bridgewater State University's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt and accumulated depreciation, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. A summary of the Statement of Net Position is presented below:
2013 2012 2011
Current assets 62,265,666$ 55,040,292$ 51,468,106$ Capital assets 175,685,421 163,222,565 138,712,280 Non-current assets 4,233,893 4,196,763 4,338,057

STATE APPROPRIATIONS
Unless otherwise permitted by the Massachusetts Legislature, the University is required to remit tuition to the Commonwealth. Therefore, the University collects student tuition on behalf of the Commonwealth and remits it to the Commonwealth's General Fund. There is no direct connection between the amount of tuition revenues collected by the University and the amount of state funds appropriated in any given year. The following details the Commonwealth appropriations received by the University for fiscal years ending June 30:
2013 2012 2011
Gross commonwealth appropriations 36,064,132$ 33,859,737$ 34,627,788$ Plus: Fringe benefits* 9,243,422 10,915,062 10,734,025

Net commonwealth support 43,784,687$ 43,483,203$ 43,198,973$
* The Commonwealth pays the fringe benefit cost for University employees paid from Commonwealth appropriations. Therefore, such fringe benefit support is added to the “State Appropriations” financial statement line item as presented in the above table. The University pays the Commonwealth for the fringe benefit cost of the employees paid from funding sources other than Commonwealth appropriations.
GRANT AND CONTRACT REVENUE
The University received $17,822,377, $18,416,139 and $24,485,470 in grant and contract revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. A few examples of the largest grants and contracts received are the following:

Through its agreements with MSCBA, the University has an agreement to repay this debt in semi-annual installments, starting November 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2032, at an annual variable coupon averaging 3.6%. The debt service reserve was $142,805 at June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, the balance on the bond was $9,223,526. More detailed information on the University’s long-term debt activity can be found in Note 11 of the financial statements.
OPERATING LEASE OBLIGATIONS In fiscal year 2012, the University entered into a one year lease with Hale Street Properties, Inc. for use of 3,980 square foot of warehouse space for temporary storage of records. The payments cost the University approximately $17,000 per year. In fiscal year 2013, the University extended the lease with Hale Street Properties, Inc. for one additional year.

OPERATING LEASE OBLIGATIONS (concluded)
In fiscal year 2012, the University extended a lease with M Space Holdings, LLC to lease the Burrill Office Complex for two additional years ending in August 2013. The payments cost the University approximately $155,000 per year. In fiscal year 2009, the University established an FAA-certified Part 141 flight training program located at the New Bedford Regional Airport. The University’s Part 14.1 Certificate provides the University for the first time full control of all flight and ground training operations. The result is a high-quality training program that provides our students with a comprehensive education in Aviation Science. The benefit of more tightly monitored, fast-tracked training is for piloting certificates and ratings that students will put to immediate use as professionals in aviation careers. Additionally, in fiscal year 2009 the University entered into a 5 year operating lease agreement with the City of New Bedford for a 10,480 square foot building located in the New Bedford Airport to house the University's flight school. The payments cost the University approximately $60,000 per year. Also, during fiscal year 2009, the University partnered with Bristol Community College in Attleboro to provide students with a pathway from a two-year associate's degree to a four-year bachelor's degree. The new site acts as a degree completion center, where students who have earned college credits can continue to further their education. The University entered into a 20 year operating lease for exclusive right to use and occupy a portion of the property at 11 Field Road, Attleboro, Massachusetts.
FACTORS IMPACTING FUTURE PERIODS
In July 2008, the Commonwealth obligated to invest $98.7 million in a new science building under the auspices of the higher education capital bond bill. The single largest building and construction project ever undertaken by the University, this facility will dramatically improve the quality of training in science and mathematics at the University and will also fundamentally alter the landscape of the campus and its physical plant. Phase I, the new 171,000 square foot addition, was completed in August 2011. Phase II, the demolition and renovation to a portion of the existing building, began in September 2011 and was completed in August 2012. The Science & Mathematics Center will have lab, teaching, research, and instruction space for Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Computer Services, Earth Sciences, Geography, Math and Physics. The entire project will be complete in fiscal year 2014.
The renovation of the Rondileau Campus Center Main Entrance began in fiscal year 2013. This was funded by the Massachusetts State College Building Authority. This project will include a new at-grade entrance with reconfiguration of the main lobby areas.

FACTORS IMPACTING FUTURE PERIODS (concluded)
The construction of the new 500-bed residence hall on East Campus began in fiscal year 2012. This project is funded by the MSCBA and will bring the total design occupancy for resident students to 3,281. This 169,000 square foot residence hall will include space for the health and counseling functions presently housed in Tillinghast Hall. Weygand Residence Hall and Health & Counseling Center is scheduled to open Fall 2013.
Bridgewater State University has planned construction of a new Welcome Center for Admissions and Financial Aid. The new 15,000 square foot facility to be constructed on Plymouth Street will house the Undergraduate, Graduate, and Transfer Admissions and the University’s Financial Aid Office.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S TUITION AND STUDENT FEE RATES
In April 2013, the University's Board of Trustees approved an increase in meal plans for the 2013-2014 academic year in addition to receiving a report of new residence hall rates, which were proposed by the MSCBA and adopted by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education earlier this year. The University’s Board of Trustees determined no increase in rates for student fees based on the state appropriation. In response to changing student expectations, the University continues to modify its meal plan options. Some of the meal plan improvements include increased flexibility, longer hours of operation, and more variety. The table below illustrates the FY14 meal plan options, and rates per semester:
Base Dining ProposedMeals Dollars Cost
Platinum 1,435$ 700$ 2,135$ Gold 1,660 210 1,870 Silver 1,320 500 1,820 Bronze 177 200 377
Per Semester Rates
Costs at residence halls for 2013-2014, which reflect the MSCBA value-pricing, increased an average of 3%, as follows: Great Hill Apartments, $7,610 from $7,460; Miles-DiNardo Hall, $6,810 from $6,560; Pope and Scott Halls, $6,540 from $6,300; Shea-Durgin Hall, $6,540 from $6,300; Woodward Hall, $6,540 from $6,300; East Hall, $7,440 for singles from $7,170; doubles will increase this fall to $6,860 from $6,610 and Crimson for singles $7,610 from $7,460; doubles $7,140 from $6,950.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Bridgewater State University (the "University") is a state-supported comprehensive university that offers a quality education leading to bachelors and masters degrees. The University also offers, through the Division of Continuing Education, credit and noncredit courses as well as a variety of summer workshop programs. The University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The University's campus is located in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
Basis of Presentation and Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations).
The Bridgewater State University Foundation (the "Foundation”) and the Bridgewater Alumni Association (the "Alumni Association''), component units of the University, were formed to render financial assistance and support to the educational programs and development of the University. Both organizations are legally separate from the University, and the University has no financial responsibility for either organization. The Bridgewater State University Foundation was established in 1984 as a 501(c)(3) trust to raise and manage funds for the financial benefit of Bridgewater State University. The Foundation works closely with the trustees, administration of the University, and our Alumni Association to promote the university and to raise private support for the institution. The Foundation and the Alumni Association have been included within these financial statements because of the nature and significance of their relationship with the University. Complete financial statements for either organization can be obtained from their respective administrative offices in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. These discretely presented component units have been aggregated into a single combined column on the accompanying financial statements.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. The accompanying Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable within a specific function. Program revenues primarily include charges to students or others who enroll or directly benefit from services that are provided by a particular function. Items not meeting the definition of program revenues are instead reported as general revenues.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of Presentation and Accounting (concluded)
The University has determined that it functions as a business-type activity, as defined by GASB. The effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from these financial statements. The basic financial statements and required supplementary information for general purpose governments consist of management's discussion and analysis, basic financial statements including the University's discretely presented component units, and required supplementary information. The University presents statements of net position, revenues, expenses, and changes in net position and cash flows on a combined University-wide basis. The University's policies for defining operating activities in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position are those that generally result from exchange transactions such as the payment received for services and payment made for the purchase of goods and services. Certain other transactions are reported as non-operating activities in accordance with GASB Statement No. 35. These non-operating activities include the University's operating and capital appropriations from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Commonwealth”), net investment income, and interest expense.
Net Position
Resources are classified for accounting purposes into the following four net position categories:
Net invested in capital assets: Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and outstanding principal balances of debt attributable to the acquisition, construction, repair or improvement of those assets.
Restricted - nonexpendable: Net position subject to externally imposed conditions requiring the University to maintain them in perpetuity. Restricted - expendable: Net position whose use is subject to externally imposed conditions that can be fulfilled by the actions of the University or by the passage of time. Unrestricted: All other categories of net position. Unrestricted net position may be designated by actions of the University's Board of Trustees.
The University has adopted a policy of generally utilizing restricted - expendable funds, when available, prior to unrestricted funds.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The University's cash and cash equivalents are cash on hand, cash held with the Commonwealth's Treasurer and the Massachusetts State College Building Authority (MSCBA), and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability. Provisions for losses on receivables are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, the estimated value of underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Investments
Investments in marketable securities are stated at fair value. Dividends, interest, and net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are reported in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Gains and losses on the disposition of investments are determined based on specific identification of securities sold. Investment income is recognized when earned. Capital Assets
Real estate assets, including improvements, are generally stated at cost. Furnishings, equipment and collection items are stated at cost at date of acquisition or, in the case of gifts, at fair value at date of donation. In accordance with the Commonwealth’s capitalization policy, non-collection items with a unit cost of more than $50,000 are capitalized. Library materials are generally expensed during the year. University capital assets, with the exception of land and construction in progress, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 40 years. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related bonds. Amortization expense was $11,372 and $8,609 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fringe Benefits
The University participates in the Commonwealth's fringe benefit programs, including health insurance, unemployment, pension and workers' compensation benefits. Health insurance, unemployment and pension costs are billed through a fringe benefit rate charged to the University. Workers’ compensation costs are assessed separately based on the University's actual experience. Compensated Absences
Employees earn the right to be compensated during absences for vacation leave and sick leave. Accrued vacation is the amount earned by all eligible employees through June 30, 2013 and 2012. The accrued sick leave balance represents 20% of amounts earned by those employees with ten or more years of state service at June 30, 2013 and 2012. Upon retirement, these employees are entitled to receive payment for this accrued balance.
Deferred Revenues
Student deposits and advance payments received for tuition and fees related to certain summer programs and tuition received for the following academic year are recorded as revenues are earned. Grants and other advance payments are recognized as revenue in accordance with the underlying agreement. Student Fees Student tuition, dining, residence and other fees are presented net of scholarships and fellowships applied to students’ accounts. Certain other scholarship amounts that are paid directly to, or refunded to, the student are generally reflected as expenses. Tax Status
The University is an Agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is therefore generally exempt from income taxes under Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Government Accounting Pronouncements
GASB 60, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, establishes accounting requirements for arrangements between a transferor and operator (SCAs) in which (a) the transferor conveys to the operator the right and related obligation to provide services through the use of infrastructure or other public asset in exchange for significant consideration and (b) the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties. This statement applies only to arrangements meeting specific criteria determining whether a transferor retains control over the public asset. The impact of GASB 60 on the University’s financial statements, which is disclosed in footnote 9, does not have a material impact on the financial statements.
GASB 61, The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus an Amendment of GASB Statements 14 and 34, effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2012, provides additional criteria for classifying entities as component units to better assess the accountability of officials by ensuring that the financial reporting entity includes only organizations for which the officials are financially accountable or that are determined by the government to be misleading to exclude. The adoption of GASB 61 has no effect on the financial statements.
GASB 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, incorporates into the GASB’s authoritative literature certain accounting and financial reporting guidance that is included in the following pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, which does not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements: Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) Committee on Accounting Procedure. The adoption of GASB 62 has no impact on the financial statements.
GASB 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, provides financial reporting guidance. Deferred outflows are the consumption of net assets and deferred inflows are the acquisition of net assets, applicable to future reporting periods. Net position is identified by Concepts Statement No. 4 as the residual of all other elements presented in a statement of financial position and requires the incorporation of deferred outflows and inflows into the required components of the residual measure and renaming that measure, known as net assets, as net position. An item is not considered a deferred outflow of resources or a deferred inflow of resources unless specifically required by a GASB pronouncement. Currently only GASB 53 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments and GASB 60, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements, contain this requirement. The adoption of GASB 63 does not have a material impact on the financial statements.

GASB 66, Technical Corrections – 2012 – an amendment of GASB Statements 10 and 62, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2012, resolves conflicts between recently issued and earlier GASB statements as well as modifying guidance related to accounting for certain operating leases. Management is in the process of reviewing this statement and its potential affect upon their financial reporting but does not expect any material impact.
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Custodial credit risk is risk associated with the failure of a depository financial institution. At June 30, 2013, the University’s deposits were collateralized up to the maximum of $69 million by Sovereign Bank through pooled collateral being held at the Bank of New York in New York City. At June 30, 2012, the University’s deposits were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) with no dollar limit for all operating accounts. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amount of the University's deposits, net of deposits and disbursements in transit, was $37,024,190 and $39,962,767, respectively. Of the carrying amount, $613,412 and $612,085 were held by Massachusetts Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT) at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The MMDT is an investment pool for political subdivisions in the Commonwealth that was designed as a legal means to safely invest temporarily available cash. Its primary purpose is to provide a safe, liquid, high-yield investment vehicle offering participation in a diversified portfolio of high quality money market instruments. The MMDT, an instrumentality of the State Treasurer, is not a bank, savings institution, or financial institution, and is not subject to FDIC insurance.
3. CASH HELD BY STATE TREASURER
Accounts payable and accrued salaries to be funded from state-appropriated funds totaled $1,378,795 and $1,295,508 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The University has recorded a comparable dollar amount of cash held by the State Treasurer for the benefit of the University, which was subsequently utilized to pay for such liabilities.

14. CONTINGENCIES
The University has no pending or threatened litigation at this time. The University receives significant financial assistance from federal and state agencies in the form of grants. Expenditures of funds under these programs require compliance with the grant agreements and are subject to audit. Any disallowed expenditures resulting from such audits becomes a liability of the University. In the opinion of management such adjustments, if any, are not expected to materially affect the financial condition of the University. The University participates in the Massachusetts College Savings Prepaid Tuition Program, (the "Program"). This Program allows individuals to pay in advance for the future tuition at the cost of tuition at the time of election to participate, increased by changes in the Consumer Price Index plus 2%. The University is obligated to accept as payment of tuition the amount determined by this Program without regard to the standard tuition rate in effect at the time of the individual's enrollment at the University. The effect of the program cannot be determined as it is contingent on future tuition increases and the Program participants who attend the University.
Pollution Remediation Obligations
The University has estimated a pollution remediation obligation as of June 30, 2013 and 2012. GASB 49 provides guidance for state and local governments in estimating and reporting the potential costs of pollution remediation. While GASB 49 does not require the University to search for pollution, it does require the University to reasonably estimate and report a remediation liability when any of the five specified obligating events has occurred:
The University is compelled to take remediation action because pollution creates an
imminent endangerment to public health; The University is in violation of a pollution prevention-related permit or license, such
as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit or similar permits under state law;
The University is named or has the evidence that it will be named by a regulator as a responsible party or potentially responsible party (PRP) for remediation, or as a government responsible for sharing costs;
The University is named or has evidence that it will be named in a lawsuit to enforce a cleanup; or
The University commences or legally obligates itself to commence pollution remediation.

CONTINGENCIES (concluded)
Pollution Remediation Obligations (concluded)
The standard requires the University, to calculate pollution remediation liabilities using the expected cash flow technique which measures the liability as the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible estimated amounts. Where the University cannot reasonably estimate a pollution remediation obligation it does not report a liability. In July 2008, the Commonwealth committed to invest $98.7 million for the addition and modernization of the Marshall Conant Science Building. Included in that cost is pollution remediation obligations of approximately $1.3 million for the removal of hazardous components. Accordingly, the University has included the liability for the removal of the hazardous components in accrued expenses.
15. OPERATING EXPENSES
The University's operating expenses, on a natural classification basis, are comprised of the following for the years ended June 30:
2013 2012

16. MASSACHUSETTS MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING SYSTEM
Section 15G of Chapter 15A of the Massachusetts General Laws requires Commonwealth Colleges and Universities to report activity of campus based funds to the Comptroller of the Commonwealth on the Commonwealth's Statewide Accounting System, Massachusetts Management Accounting and Reporting System (MMARS), using the statutory basis of accounting. The statutory basis of accounting is a modified accrual basis of accounting and differs from the information included in these financial statements. Management believes the amounts reported on MMARS meet the guidelines of the Comptroller's Guide for Higher Education Audited Financial Statements.

18. RETIREMENT PLAN
Substantially all of the University’s full-time employees are covered by the Massachusetts State Employee’s Retirement System (SERS). SERS, a single employer defined benefit public employee retirement system, is administered by the Massachusetts State Retirement Board and covers substantially all non-student employees. SERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Chapter 32A of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts assigns the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the Massachusetts Legislature. The University is not required to contribute from its appropriation allocation or other college funds to SERS for employees compensated from State appropriations. For University employees covered by SERS but compensated from a trust fund or other source, the University is required to contribute an amount determined as a percentage of compensation in accordance with a fringe benefit rate established by the State. The total amount of current funding by the State related to the University’s employees was $6,681,219, $7,919,495, and $5,949,819 during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Annual covered payroll was approximately 58%, 58%, and 62% of total payroll for the University for the years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Commonwealth does not issue separately audited financial statements for the plan. The financial position and results of operations of the plan are incorporated into the Commonwealth’s financial statements, a copy of which may be obtained from the Office of the State Comptroller, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, One Ashburton Place, Room 901, Boston, MA 02108.

RETIREMENT PLAN (concluded)
Substantially all full-time staff are covered by and must participate in SERS. Benefits fully vest after 10 years of full-time employment. An employee may receive retirement benefits after 20 years of service, or after 10 years of service and having attained age of 55.
Based on State statute, covered employees of the University contribute an amount ranging from 5% to 9% (depending on date of employment) of their eligible compensation to SERS. Employees hired after January 1, 1979 are required to contribute an additional 2% for the eligible compensation over $30,000 per year. The State is required to make actuarially determined contributions that maintain the financial integrity of the retirement system.
19. FRINGE BENEFITS FOR CURRENT EMPLOYEES AND POST EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS – PENSION AND NON-PENSION
The University participates in the Commonwealth’s Fringe Benefit programs, including active employee and post-employment health insurance, unemployment, pension, and workers’ compensation benefits. Health insurance and pension costs for active employees are retirees are paid through a fringe benefit rate charged to the University by the Commonwealth and currently the liability is borne by the Commonwealth.
On-behalf of payments of fringe benefits for benefited employees on the Commonwealth’s payroll are recognized as revenues and expenses in the University’s financial statements in each of the fiscal years presented.
Post Employment Other Than Pensions
In addition to providing pension benefits, under Chapter 32A of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Commonwealth is required to provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees of the Commonwealth, housing authorities, redevelopment authorities, and certain other governmental agencies. Substantially all of the Commonwealth’s employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for the Commonwealth. Eligible retirees are required to contribute a specified percentage of the health care benefit costs which is comparable to contributions required from employees. The Commonwealth is reimbursed for the cost of benefits to retirees of the eligible authorities and non-state agencies.
The Commonwealth’s Group Insurance Commission (GIC) was established by the Legislature in 1955 to provide and administer health insurance and other benefits to the Commonwealth’s employees and retirees, and their dependents and survivors. The GIC also covers housing and redevelopment authorities’ personnel, certain authorities and other offline agencies, retired municipal teachers from certain cities and towns and a small amount of municipalities as an agent multiple employer program, accounted for as an agency fund activity of the Commonwealth, not the University.

FRINGE BENEFITS FOR CURRENT EMPLOYEES AND POST EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS – PENSION AND NON-PENSION (concluded)
Post Employment Other Than Pensions (concluded)
The GIC administers a plan included within the State Retire Benefits Trust Fund, an irrevocable trust. Any assets accumulated in excess of liabilities to pay premiums of benefits or administrative expenses are retained in that fund. The GIC’s administrative costs are financed through Commonwealth appropriations and employee investment returns. The Legislature determines employees’ and retirees’ contribution ratios.
The GIC does not issue separately audited financial statements. The financial position and results of operations of the plan are incorporated into the Commonwealth’s financial statements, a copy of which may be obtained from the Office of the State Comptroller, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, One Ashburton Place, Room 901, Boston, MA 02108.
The GIC is a quasi-independent state agency governed by an eleven-member body (the “Commission”) appointed by the Governor. The GIC is located administratively within the Executive Office of Administration and Finance, and is responsible for providing health insurance and other benefits to the Commonwealth’s employees and retirees and their survivors and dependents. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the GIC provided health insurance for its members through indemnity, PPO, and HMO plans. The GIC also administered carve-outs for the pharmacy benefit and mental health and substance abuse benefits for certain of its health plans. In addition to health insurance, the GIC sponsors life insurance, long-term disability insurance (for active employees only), dental and vision coverage for employees not covered by collective bargaining, a retiree discount vision plan and retiree dental plan, and finally, a pre-tax health care spending account and dependant care assistance program (for active employees only).

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 of Bridgewater State University: 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 financial statements of Bridgewater State University (the “University”), as of and for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the University’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 23, 2013. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the 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 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 a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's 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.
67
68
Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the University's 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 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.
