Note on the annual investment holdings report

Mount Allison University invests its endowment fund in a variety of asset classes (types of investments). It invests in pooled investment vehicles which provide the University with a more cost effective way to achieve diversification.

This means that the University does not invest directly in individual company stocks (equities) or bonds (fixed income), rather it uses investment managers to invest in pooled funds which in turn invest the University's funds, along with many other investors' funds, in individual stocks and bonds or other pooled funds.

Mount Allison selects and continuously monitors third-party investment managers with the assistance of an external investment consultant.

The annual investment holdings report discloses the underlying equity and fixed income holdings in its endowment fund. The market values reported in the report represent the value of the proportion of the stock or bond as if it was owned directly by the University.

Please direct any questions concerning these reports to the University's director of finance-controller, Guylaine Roy, at groy@mta.ca.

How is someone reading the financial statements able to gauge the overall financial health of the University?

To best gauge the financial health of the University and, indeed any not-for-profit organization, the financial statements should be analyzed in their entirety, along with supporting documents. At Mount Allison you can refer to the Annual Financial Report.

In addition, it is useful to pose questions to those tasked with the financial stewardship of the University such as Robert Inglis, vice-president, finance and administration (ringlis@mta.ca) and Guylaine Roy, controller (groy@mta.ca).

Reference is often made to different "funds". Why do the financial statements have different funds and what are they?

Under Canadian accounting rules, not-for-profit organizations, like the University, are required to show the observance of restrictions on different funds. Contributions that have limitations put on them by external parities are classified as externally restricted funds.

Even though the annual financial statements consolidate all these funds, the University still must maintain them and it shows the details for each fund in the schedules attached to the financial statements.

The University’s financial statements have eight funds:

• General Operating Fund
• Special Program Operating Fund
• Ancillary Operating Fund
• Capital Asset Fund
• Endowment Principal Fund
• Endowment Expendable Fund
• Research Fund
• Special Purpose Fund

Externally restricted funds can only be used for the purpose for which they were given to the University. An explanation of each fund is available in the understanding financial resources section below.

The audited Statement of Operations often shows “revenues over expenses” (or “expenses over revenues”). How does this arise and does it mean there is a surplus or deficit?

Revenues over expenses or expenses over revenue generally arises for two reasons:

1. How capital projects are accounted for

Money spent on small capital projects (minor repairs and upgrades) count as expenses and is reflected in the statement of operations. However, large capital projects (new buildings, major upgrades or repairs) must be accounted for as “assets” and expensed over the lifetime of the building or renovation.

For example, if $1 million from operating funds was spent on new windows for a building and those new windows were expected to last for 40 years, then 1/40th of the cost, or $25,000, would be counted as expenses each year. Although the $1 million was actually spent in the year the work was completed, the financial statements would show $975,000 of revenue over expenses in that year. The $975,000 would be shown as being invested in capital assets at the bottom of the statement of operations.

The Budget document, on the other hand, does show the cost of all capital projects as expenses in the year the revenue was actually used. A reconciliation from the audited financial statements to the budgeted results is in the Annual Financial Report.

2. The Endowment Fund earned more or less than was spent.

The Endowment Fund, like endowment funds at other universities, is designed to adjust for inflation. Actuaries have determined that if we spend 5 per cent each year, current and future members of our community will benefit equally from the Endowment Fund.

In years when the endowment earns more than 5 per cent, the excess is re-invested in the endowment principal and in years when less than 5 per cent is earned, that extra is drawn down from the endowment principal.

Even though amounts earned over 5 per cent are re-invested, they are still accounted for as revenue in our financial statements for endowments that are unrestricted. This can make the balance of revenue over expenses or expenses over revenue change significantly from year to year:

Investment income

• 2019 - $10,609,003
• 2018 - $7,351,655
• 2017 - $13,511,848
• 2016 - $3,197,841
• 2015 - $11,277,686

The change in investment income and the types of capital projects completed are two of the main reasons the amount of revenue and expenses can fluctuate significantly from year to year:

Is there a surplus (or are there excess funds) in the General Operating Fund?

The General Operating Fund pays for all the academic, administrative, and other operating activities supported by tuition fees, government operating grants, and other revenue (see page 45 of the 2019 audited financial statements included in the Annual Financial Report).

An excess of revenue over expenses in this fund is not a surplus. Revenue in the General Operating Fund also supports activities recorded in other funds. For example, if the General Operating Fund provides a research grant to a faculty member, the amount is transferred to the Research Fund so the faculty member can spend it in support of his or her research. 

After all items, including transfers in and out of the General Operating Fund, were recorded in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 there was a shortage of funds in 2015, 2018 and 2019 and leftover funds in 2016 and 2017.

• 2015 - shortage of $712,404 (covered by the Contingency Fund)*
• 2016 - leftover amount of $374,560 (will be used to support teaching and research space in the Centre for Environmental Innovation project)
• 2017 - leftover amount of $49,772 (will be used to fund future capital equipment purchases)
• 2018 - shortage of $835,424 (covered by the Contingency Fund)*
• 2019 - shortage of $378,198 (partially covered by the Contingency Fund)*

*The Contingency Fund is within the Special Purpose Fund and is supported by the annual spending allocations on unrestricted endowments and unrestricted trusts and unrestricted donations and is used in times of revenue shortfalls or emergency expenditures. See Policy 7202 and the Budget document for more details.

What are the various schedules in the financial statements?

The financial statements are comprised of four main statements or schedules:

• the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position or balance sheet
• the Consolidated Statement of Operations or income statement
• the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets
• the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is a snapshot of the University’s financial position on the last day of the fiscal year.

The Consolidated Statement of Operations presents the University’s consolidated revenue and expenses over a one year period and, along with the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, provides the financial statement user with information about the University’s net assets.

The University’s net assets are in five main categories, those that are:

• invested in capital assets
• endowed
• restricted for future pension benefits
• internally restricted
• unrestricted

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides information about how the University’s cash balances changed due to operating, financing, or investing activities.

These statements consolidate all the funds of the University. The three schedules after the notes to the financial statements provide details for each fund.

What are employee future benefit assets and employee future benefit obligations?

These represent amounts determined by our actuary relating to pension and other future commitments to University employees.

What are deferred contributions?

Deferred contributions represent amounts donated or contributed to the University for a specific purpose. Donations or grants received and spent for building projects are called deferred contributions for capital assets and will be recorded as revenues and expenses over time as the building is amortized or depreciated. Donations and grants received for other purposes are called deferred contributions related to restricted and endowed funds. They represent amounts not yet spent and will be recorded as revenues and expenses as they are spent.

The University receives funding from various sources for various purposes. Much of it comes from external sources with restrictions attached as to its use.

To manage these funds accurately, the University uses “fund accounting” which is a type of accounting system that emphasizes accountability rather than profitability and is used by universities, not-for-profit organizations, and government. Each fund is a self-balancing set of accounts that keeps track of funds and monitors funds coming in and going out by their intended purpose.

The University reports its financial activity in accordance with the Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations as prescribed in Part III of the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) Canada Handbook and in accordance with Part II of the CPA Canada Handbook for items not addressed in Part III.

Below you will find illustrations of the University’s various funds, showing the major sources of revenue for each fund and what the fund generally supports.

Integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment policies is considered best practice in relation to responsible investment.

The University's Board of Regents moved ahead with updating its investment policies and practices to incorporate ESG factors in 2017. ESG issues are considered in the selection of investment managers and other service providers.

Examples of ESG factors include:

• Environmental — climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resource depletion, waste and pollution, deforestation
• Social — working conditions, including slavery and child labour; local communities, including Indigenous communities; conflict; health and safety; employee relations; diversity
• Governance — executive pay, bribery and corruption, political lobbying and donations, board diversity and structure, tax strategy

Mount Allison provides a publicly-available list of the underlying stock and bond holdings in the University's pooled funds.

The endowment fund holdings are posted above in the Financial reports section.

An investment option for those donors who may be interested in putting new donations into a fund that excludes or limits certain sectors was added in December 2017.

For more information on the ESG Target Fund, contact donate@mta.ca.

Mount Allison has committed to producing an annual report on the University's responsible investment activities. The first annual report was released for the 2017-18 fiscal year.

• 2019-20
• 2018-19
• 2017-18

The UNPRI provides a framework for reporting on and developing responsible investment activities. While the UNPRI is focused primarily on investment managers and investors, investment owners, such as the University, can become signatories. A limited number of Canadian universities are already signatories.

The University became an asset owner signatory in May 2018 and filed its first annual report in April 2019.

Find out more about UNPRI

Mount Allison was one of 10 universities across Canada to be part of the initial February 2021 launch of the national University Network for Investor Engagement (UNIE) through the Shareholder Association for Research & Education. The non-profit organization works to engage with investee companies around environmental, social justice, and governance issues.  

The network, a coalition of Canadian university endowments and pension plans, is a new initiative to engage with North American public companies in the areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG), including carbon footprint and climate risk.

UNIE's engagements focus on accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy in key sectors where advocacy can make the biggest difference, including energy, utilities, finance, transportation and manufacturing.

• Reviewing the option of adding exhaust-air heat recovery to the Barclay lab exhaust fans to recover waste energy and preheat make-up air

Did you know that Mount Allison conducts an Environmental Audit to assess the progress being made by the University towards achieving environmental sustainability?

The Environmental Audit has been conducted every two to three years since 1998. The audits are conducted by Mount Allison students as summer employment.

The audits use the performance indicators listed in Policy 2102: Environmental Policy and Policy 2101: Emission Reduction Policy to evaluate the University’s progress towards the carbon footprint reduction targets.

Environmental Audit reports

Mount Allison's approach to facilities development and physical accessibility is guided by our Accessible Facilities Policy and regular communication with University community members, including student leaders.

The policy’s appendices indicate work that has been done or is planned to make University facilities more accessible. The University’s campus plan also includes a section about accessibility.

When will your building be tested

Testing protocol

The following protocol is used to carry out the testing:

• Locations are determined in consultation with building contacts from each building and represent locations where individuals could consume the water.
• The samples are analyzed by a certified laboratory.
• The testing protocol used was recommended by the New Brunswick Department of Health.
  • A sample is taken from the cold water tap as soon as the tap is opened (first draw). These samples are sent to the lab for analysis.
  • For all locations where lead levels are found to be above the guideline on first draw, a second sample is taken after the water has run for 30 seconds (second draw).

Drinking water guidelines

In March 2019, Health Canada lowered the drinking water guidelines for lead from 10 micrograms per litre (ug/L) to 5 micrograms per litre, as measured on the second draw after a 30 second flush.

All testing carried out after March 2019 uses 5 ug/L as the guideline. Testing carried out prior to March 2019 follows the 10 ug/L guideline.
