Management has taken action to postpone the impending shortfall by reallocating the sources of
revenue used for payroll expenses. Typically, the University's monthly payroll expenses are funded
two-thirds by state appropriations and one-third by local funds to comply with state law regarding
proportional funding. The University will postpone the deficit and maintain proportional funding
compliance by using appropriations to cover all payroll expenses for the first eight months of the
fiscal year and local funds for the last four months. However, if financial aid reimbursements have
not been recouped by April, the deficit could be severe in the last four months of the year, especially
if delays in collecting local grant funds have also continued.
The University's fiscal year 1997 cash position has been evaluated based on expected expenditures
and revenues related to federal grants and local funds. State appropriations were not included in the
analysis since the realization of those funds is not in question. Following are projections of the
University's cash flows under three scenarios of financial aid reimbursement:
