Independent Auditors’ 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 29–30

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit 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.
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
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 opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the University of the Pacific as of June 30, 2017, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows
for the year then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
KPMG LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.S. member
firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with
KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the University of Pacific’s 2016 financial statements, and we expressed an
unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated November 7, 2016. In our
opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016
is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

(with summarized comparative financial information
for the year ended June 30, 2016)
Unrestricted net assets represent resources available to support Pacific’s operations and
temporarily restricted net assets that have become available for use for the purposes specified by
donor(s). Unrestricted net assets include funds designated by the Pacific Board of Regents for
specific purposes and may otherwise be limited by contractual agreements with outside parties.
Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions received for restricted purposes in
accordance with donor-specified stipulations. These stipulations may expire over a certain time
period or may be satisfied by the actions of Pacific in accordance with the donor’s intentions. Upon
satisfaction of donor-imposed requirements, the associated net assets are released from
temporarily restricted net assets and included in unrestricted net assets. Temporarily restricted net
assets include gifts of cash and securities, pledges, split-interest trusts, and other gifts not intended
to be invested in perpetuity but instead to be used to meet shorter-term operational needs such as
capital projects. Temporarily restricted net assets also include accumulated net gains on
permanently restricted endowment funds to be appropriated for spending according to donor
stipulations.
Permanently restricted net assets represent contributions to be held in perpetuity as specified by
the terms of the underlying donor agreement, and further governed by the investment and
spending policies set by the Board of Regents. Permanently restricted net assets include gifts of
cash and securities held in the Pacific Endowment Pool, pledges, split-interest trusts, and similar
assets. Pledges, trusts, and remainder interests designated for permanently restricted purposes
are reported at their estimated net present values. All permanently restricted net assets are
reported at the original amount of the gift plus the portion, if any, of earnings explicitly stipulated by
the donor to be added to corpus.
Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless use of the related assets is
limited by donor-imposed restrictions as noted above. Expenses are reported as decreases in
unrestricted net assets. Gains and losses on investments and other assets or liabilities are reported as
increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets unless their use is restricted by explicit donor
stipulations or by law. Expiration of restrictions on net assets (i.e., the donor-stipulated purpose has

(with summarized comparative financial information
for the year ended June 30, 2016)
been fulfilled and/or the stipulated time period has elapsed) are reported as reclassifications between
the applicable classes of net assets (i.e., released from restrictions).
Contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are recognized as revenues in the period
received. Conditional promises to give are not recognized until they become unconditional, (i.e., when
the conditions on which they depend are substantially met). Contributions of assets other than cash are
recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of contribution.
Income and realized and unrealized net gains on investments of permanently restricted net assets are
generally recorded as increases to temporarily restricted net assets. Realized and unrealized net
losses on investments of permanently restricted net assets are recorded as decreases to temporarily
restricted net assets to the extent that they exist, and then to unrestricted net assets.
In addition: (a) tuition and fees are reflected net of financial aid provided in the form of institutional
scholarships; (b) expenses include vested benefits of employees for future compensated absences;
and, (c) funds administered as an intermediary for others, including student loan funds provided by
federal agencies, are accounted for as liabilities rather than as net assets of Pacific.
Pacific maintains its operating cash accounts in several commercial banks in amounts that are
generally in excess of insured levels. The accounts at the banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 for each financial institution. As of June 30, 2017, Pacific’s cash
of $6,746,367 included $6,155,292 in excess of insured levels. Pacific has not experienced losses on
these deposits to date.
(e) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market.

(with summarized comparative financial information

(f) Investments
Investments represent a diversified portfolio of public and private domestic and international equity
securities, fixed income securities, and alternative investments, and are reported at fair value as further
discussed in note 3. Invested assets include permanently restricted endowed and unrestricted
quasi-endowed funds held in the endowment pool as further discussed in note 4. Investments also
include temporarily and permanently restricted split-interest trust assets and shorter-term investments
of unrestricted and temporarily restricted assets.
All realized and unrealized gains and losses, dividends, interest and other income on investments are
reflected in the statement of activities. Gains and investment income limited to specific uses by
donor-imposed restrictions (for both temporarily restricted gifts and donor-restricted endowment funds)
are reported as increases in temporarily restricted net assets until donor-imposed purpose and/or time
restrictions have been satisfied. Losses on investments of donor-restricted endowment funds are
classified as decreases in temporarily restricted net assets to the extent that they exist, and then to
unrestricted net assets. Subsequent gains that restore the fair value of donor-restricted endowments to
required levels are recorded as increases in unrestricted net assets.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market fluctuations, and credit
risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in the valuation of investment securities will occur in the near term and
potentially have a material positive or negative impact on the net assets reported in the balance sheet.
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and assets are capitalized. The cost and
accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts and a gain or loss is
recognized in the year of disposal.

(k) Collections
Collections include works of art, historical treasures, or similar assets that are held for public exhibition,
education, or research in furtherance of Pacific’s mission. Pacific has capitalized its collections since its
inception. If purchased, items accessioned into collections are capitalized at cost; if donated, they are
capitalized at their appraised or estimated fair value on the accession date (the date on which the item
is accepted by the Gift Acceptance Committee). Gains or losses on the deaccession of collection items
are classified on the statement of activities as unrestricted or temporarily restricted support depending
on donor restrictions, if any, placed on the item at the time of accession.

Funds advanced by the federal government of $31.6 million and $31.2 million at June 30, 2017 and
2016, respectively, are ultimately refundable to the government and are classified as liabilities in the
balance sheet. Outstanding loans canceled under the program result in a reduction of the funds
available for loan and a decrease in the liability to the government. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the
following amounts were past due under federal student loan programs:

June 30, 2016 805,859 412,912 2,137,964 3,356,735
Allowances for doubtful loans are established based on prior collection experience and current
economic factors, which, in management’s judgment, could influence the ability of loan recipients to
repay the amounts per the loan terms. Institutional loan balances are written off only when they are
deemed to be permanently uncollectible. Amounts due under the Federal Perkins Loan program and
the Health Professionals Student Loan program are guaranteed by the government, and therefore, no
reserves are placed on any past-due balances under either program.

The Financial Accounting Standards Boards ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
defined fair value, established a framework used to measure fair value, and expanded disclosures about
fair value measurement. The standard prioritized, within the measurement of fair value, the use of
market-based information over entity-specific information and established a three-level hierarchy for fair
value measurements based on the transparency of information, such as the pricing source, used in the
valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
Pacific groups its invested assets within the three-level hierarchy, based upon the markets in which the
assets are traded and the observability of the assumptions and underlying information used in the
determination of fair value at the measurement date. Valuations within these levels are based upon:
Level I – Quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets. Assets in
Level I include cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, listed equities, and mutual funds.
Level II – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active, and estimated valuation techniques for which all significant
assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Assets in Level II include
long-term government and corporate bonds and commingled funds that invest in Level I securities that are
in a limited partnership structure.
Level III – For alternative investments, primarily private equity funds and hedge funds, fair value is
estimated, as a practical expedient, by using the net asset value of the investment if the net asset value per
share of the investment is calculated in a manner consistent with ASC Topic 946-10-15-2. For other assets
in Level III, valuation is based on pricing inputs that reflect assumptions about the factors market
participants would use in pricing the asset based on the best information available.

Effective as of fiscal year 2017, Pacific adopted the provision of ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value
Measurement: Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate NAV per share (or its
equivalent). ASU 2015-07 removed the requirement to classify within the fair value hierarchy table in
Level II and III investments in certain funds measured at NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair
value. The ASU also required that NAV-measured investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy table
be summarized as an adjustment to the table so that total investments can be reconciled to the Balance
Sheet.
The following table summarizes the valuation of Pacific’s investments by the ASC 820 fair value and net
asset value (NAV) hierarchy as of June 30, 2017 (in thousands):
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of investments:
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities: The carrying amount at face value approximates fair
value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
U.S. bond mutual funds, international bond mutual funds, U.S. equities, U.S. equities mutual funds, and
international equities mutual funds: These are valued using quoted prices in principal active markets for
identical assets as of the valuation date.

(a) This category includes several private equity funds that invest in the United States and internationally.
These investments can be recouped through the sale of limited partner interest in the fund. In addition,
distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund to the limited
partners. If these investments were held, it is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund would be
liquidated over 5 to 10 years. As of June 30, 2017, it is probable that all of the investments in this
category will be sold at an amount different from the net asset value of Pacific’s ownership interest in
partners’ capital due to future market fluctuations. The fair values of the investments in this category
have been estimated as the net asset value of Pacific’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. The
process for liquidating these investments is through the solicitation of buyers. As of June 30, 2017, a
buyer (or buyers) for these investments has not yet been identified. Once a buyer has been identified,
the investee fund’s management must approve of the buyer before the sale of the investments can be
completed.
(b) This category invests in hedge funds that pursue multiple strategies to diversify risks and reduce
volatility. The hedge funds’ composite portfolio for this category includes investments in undervalued
and overvalued equity, stressed and distressed credits, private real estate, and arbitrage investments.
The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the net asset value per
share of the investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed quarterly or semiannually
subject to the redemption notice period.
(c) This category includes investments in hedge funds that seek to profit from companies undergoing
extraordinary events that will impact the companies’ financial structures. These events can include
mergers and acquisitions, distressed and stressed investing, capital structure arbitrage, restructurings
and spin-offs. The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the net
asset value per share of the investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed quarterly
subject to the notice period.
(d) This category includes investments in hedge funds that invest both long and short in global equities.
Management of the hedge funds has the ability to shift investments from value to growth strategies,
from small to large capitalization stocks, U.S. and international stocks, and from a net long position to a
net short position. The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the net
asset value per share of the investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed monthly or
quarterly subject to the notice period.
(e) This category includes commodity and inflation hedge strategy funds that invest primarily in global
equities, precious metals, commodities, and inflation-linked fixed income. The fair values of the
investments in this category have been estimated using the net asset value per share of the
investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed monthly subject to the notice period.
(f) Equities and assets held by others in Level III include a $1,751 endowment fund gifted to Pacific for
which the investments are managed by an outside trustee bank in perpetuity according to the donor’s
wishes. Because the endowment is to be invested in perpetuity, the funds may not be redeemed but
distributions are made to the University to be allocated for scholarships. Other assets in this fund
represent miscellaneous Level III securities included in domestic corporate stocks and bonds.

(g) Real and personal property primarily includes an investment in an office building, farmland, and houses
located in Northern and Central California.
(h) This category includes investments in equity securities of issuers located outside the United States.
The fund focuses on issuers located in developed market countries but may allocate a portion of net
assets to issuers in emerging market countries. Management of the fund may also invest in
non-U.S. currencies and foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge its equity positions. The fair
values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the net asset value per share of
the investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed monthly.
(i) This category includes investments in the sovereign debt and currencies of countries around the world.
Investments also include highly rated corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Management
may also invest a small allocation in emerging markets and high yield debt. The fair values of the
investments in this category have been estimated using the net asset value per share of the
investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed monthly.
(j) This category includes investments in domestic equity mid-cap securities with above-average earnings
growth potential. The fund’s initial investments are within the capitalization of the Russell Midcap
Growth Index. The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the net
asset value per share of the investments. All investments in this category can be redeemed monthly.
Investments include approximately $18,749,000 and $18,447,000 held under split-interest trust agreements
as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Bond and note proceeds included in investment and restricted
for construction and equipment financing were $22,874,548 as of June 30, 2017 and $0 as of June 30,

endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) the
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 portion of the donor-restricted
endowment fund not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted
net assets to the extent of available accumulated income and gains and losses. Temporarily restricted net
assets on endowed funds are then appropriated for spending according to donor-imposed purpose
restrictions and Pacific’s spending policy as set by the Board of Regents in accordance with the provisions
of the CPMIFA.
In the absence of explicit donor instructions on the use of the portion of the endowment funds not stipulated
by the donor to be restricted in perpetuity, investment returns, including dividends, interest, and realized
and unrealized gains and losses, must be classified as temporarily restricted until appropriated for
expenditure in accordance with the Endowment Fund Investment Policy established by Pacific’s Board of
Regents.
Pacific’s investment and spending policy for endowment assets seeks to provide a predictable stream of
funding to programs supported by the endowment while simultaneously maintaining the purchasing power
of the endowment assets over time. The Pacific endowment represents a collection of individual
endowments from benefactors that in the aggregate form a fund from which earnings will support the
purposes of each endowment for generations to come.
For the year ended June 30, 2017, Pacific’s endowment’s spending policy was a target rate of 4% of a
twelve-quarter moving average of the fair value of each endowment as of each quarter-end. If an
endowment existed less than three years, the fair value for purposes of applying the spending rate was the
average of the year-end values since the individual endowment was established. While pledges restricted
to permanently donor-restricted endowment funds were included in the total endowment at June 30, 2017,

these investments are not subject to the target rate per the spending policy and are not considered part of
invested endowed assets. Funds from spending appropriations are distributed in equal quarterly
installments as determined at the beginning of each fiscal year.
Effective for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2010 and thereafter, Pacific’s Board of Regents adopted an
Endowment Fund Investment Policy reflective of CPMIFA provisions and the Board’s desire to balance
near-term spending and investment returns in a manner that ensures current programs receive appropriate
support while protecting the Endowment’s future purchasing power from the effects of inflation. Under the
policy, in future periods, endowed funds with deficiencies will be allowed to utilize accumulated realized
and unrealized gains to fund spending appropriations, while spending rates will be adjusted from time to
time as considered prudent in order to preserve future Endowment purchasing power.

From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds
may fall below the value of the permanently restricted portion of the fund. Deficiencies of this nature
reported in unrestricted net assets were $2,000 and $606,000 as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016,
respectively. These cumulative deficiencies resulted from unfavorable market fluctuations.
Professional fees for management of the pooled investments are recorded against investment returns and
amounted to approximately $2,849,000 and $2,227,000 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.

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 the University of the Pacific, which
comprise the balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the
year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
November 1, 2017.
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 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.
