UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI JUNE 30, 2008


$1,660,000, Series 2002G $1,020,000, Series 2003C $4,785,000, Series 2004A $6,975,000, Series 2004D
$955,000, Series 2004E $1,265,000, Series 2006A $2,040,000 and Series 2007A $430,000. The purpose of
the refunding was to increase the University’s Liquidity Reserve from short-term debt service savings by
slightly extending the average life of the University’s debt. Net proceeds of $35,496,090 were used to
purchase United States government securities that were placed in irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to
provide for the June 1, 2008 debt service payment for the above referenced bonds. The resulting loss on
refunding which reflects the difference between the refunding reacquisition price for Series 2008B and the
net carrying amount of the outstanding principal balances of the refunded debt issues was not significant.

Series 2008C general receipt bonds were issued February 6, 2008 in the amount of $39,280,000, for the
purpose of current refunding $40,000,000 of the Series 2004B variable rate auction reset mode bond
maturities. $32,250,000 of the Series 2004B variable rate auction reset mode bonds was called on February
14, 2008 and the remaining $7,750,000 of these bonds was called on March 20, 2008. The purpose of the
refunding was to current refund all of the Series 2004B auction rate reset mode bonds, due to deteriorating
conditions within the auction rate market. Net proceeds of $40,000,000 were used to provide for the
February 14, 2008 and March 20, 2008 calls for this series. The resulting deferred loss on refunding was not
significant.


C) Collateralization and Debt Reserves

The general receipts bonds and general receipts bond anticipation notes are collateralized by a pledge of
general receipts of the University. The Capital Lease Obligations and Capital Leases (Stetson and Turner) are
secured by base rent payments under the leases. The net book value of assets under Capital Lease
Obligations is $182,966,000. Payment of base rents is subordinate to debt service payments on the University’s
general receipt bonds and bond anticipation notes. Loans Payable – Equipment is collateralized by specified
equipment. At June 30, 2008, the required debt service reserve amounted to $8,679,000. As provided for in
the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, this reserve is solely for the payment of debt service charges on
the pre-amended bonds, with the exception that excess amounts may be transferred pursuant to Section 4.03 of
the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement
