STATE OF NEW YORK


OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER

September 1, 2011

To the Citizens, Governor and Members of the


Legislature of the State of New York:
ike most states, New York continues to struggle with the fiscal challenges associated

L with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. However, in addition to
economic conditions outside of the State’s control, New York entered the Great
Recession with a pre-existing structural budget deficit that further worsened the
State’s financial position.
The State Fiscal Year 2011-12 Enacted Budget made significant progress in
addressing the State’s structural deficit primarily through spending reductions and
without relying heavily on temporary revenue, one-shots or fiscal gimmicks.
The Enacted Budget provides recurring actions intended to address the $10
billion budget gap and reduce the State’s structural imbalance. While this year’s
effort involved significant budgetary discipline, continued vigilance is needed to
ensure future budgets do not regress to fiscally irresponsible practices.
There is still substantial risk that the budget could fall out of balance as
weakness in the housing market along with international financial and political
instability continue to pose threats to the recovery. The Blue Chip consensus
economic forecasts for growth continue to be revised downward.
While $10 billion in gap-closing actions in this current fiscal year minimized
increases in State taxes and fees, the impact of spending reductions on local
services and the economy remains uncertain. School budgets for the upcoming
school year include layoffs and service reductions. Also, while the economic
impact of Medicaid reductions and correctional facility closures are undetermined,
they could be significant.
The State also needs to do a better job monitoring its debt. Debt service is one
of the fastest growing categories of the budget. Much of this debt has been issued
by public authorities without voter approval.
The need for further comprehensive fiscal reform is compelling. Despite the
spending cuts and revenue increases in the enacted budget, formidable budget gaps
in future years are assured.
Reforms such as requiring the Executive to identify actions to close out-year
gaps in the Financial Plan, imposing a binding revenue forecast, and enacting real
debt reform to ban backdoor borrowing by public authorities and restore voter
control over debt, are needed.
Only by making difficult decisions and instituting prudent, systematic reforms can
New York continue to reduce its structural deficit and ensure long-term prosperity.

Sincerely,

Thomas P. DiNapoli
State Comptroller

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
This report has been prepared by the Office of the State Comptroller, as required by Chapter 405, Laws of 1981, in accor-
dance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for governments as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness
and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, included within this Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report rests with the Office of the State Comptroller.
The basic financial statements contained in this report have been audited by KPMG, LLP. Their audit was conducted
in accordance with generally accepted governmental auditing standards (GAGAS) and their auditors’ report precedes
the basic financial statements. An independent audit provides reasonable assurance that the State’s basic financial state-
ments for the year ended March 31, 2011 are free of material misstatement. Independent audit procedures include: exam-
ining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the basic financial statements; assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall basic financial state-
ment presentation. An audit also includes consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for design-
ing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the State’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, the independent auditors expressed
no opinion with respect to internal controls over financial reporting. The independent auditors believed that their audit
provided a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the State’s basic financial statements for the fis-
cal year ended March 31, 2011 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.
The basic financial statements include a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis that is required by GAAP and
referred to as Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This transmittal letter is intended to complement the
MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The State’s MD&A can be found immediately following the independent
auditors’ report.

Profile of New York State


New York State was one of the original 13 states, ratifying the United States Constitution and entering the Union on July
26, 1788. The State has a land area of 49,576 square miles and the largest park system (home of the Adirondack Park)
in the nation. Geographically, New York State is divided into 62 counties (five of which are boroughs of New York City).
Within these counties are 62 cities (including New York City), 932 towns, 555 villages and 697 school districts. The State’s
major economic sectors are the industrial-commercial, service, and agricultural sectors.
New York’s government comprises three branches—executive, legislative and judicial. The executive branch
includes the Executive (including 20 State departments), the Department of Audit and Control, and the Department of
Law, which are headed respectively by the Governor, Comptroller and Attorney General. With the exception of the depart-
ments of Audit and Control and Law, which report to their respective elected officials, the departments of the State report
to the Governor. The legislative branch comprises two houses, the Senate with 62 senators and the Assembly with 150 mem-
bers. Members of the Legislature are elected to two-year terms.
The Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, which is the highest court of the State, heads the judicial branch. The
Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the Chief Judge and six Associate Judges to 14-year terms.
In New York State, the courts of original jurisdiction, or trial courts, hear cases in the first instance and the appellate courts
hear appeals from the decisions of other courts.

Economic Condition and Outlook


During 2010, economic conditions began to improve for both the nation and New York State, with the State outperforming
the nation in several measures. Aided by enactment of a major federal stimulus program, the nation’s Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) began to rise sharply at the end of 2009, although growth subsequently slowed, averaging 2.9 percent in
2010. New York’s Gross State Product (GSP) expanded at a faster rate, rising by 5.1 percent in 2010. Job growth
resumed, although gains (0.7 percent for the nation and 0.8 percent for the State) were constrained by rising job losses
in government. Personal income recovered from declines in 2009, rising by 3 percent for the nation, while New York State’s
gain of 4.1 percent was the second-highest growth rate among all the states. The rebound in New York’s personal income
reflects Wall Street’s continued recovery from the financial crisis, which was aided by government bailouts, the Federal
Reserve’s low interest rate policy, and other government actions. During 2010, the broker/dealer operations of New York
Stock Exchange member firms earned $27.6 billion, the second-highest level on record.

The economic recovery, however, has been slow by historical standards, and problems persist in many areas. The hous-
ing market remained weak in 2010, as a modest recovery in home prices faltered by the end of the year. The large inven-
tory of homes in the foreclosure process has also put downward pressure on prices. While the foreclosure crisis is less severe
in New York State than in many other parts of the nation, the percentage of mortgages in the State at some point in the
foreclosure process continues to rise, reaching 5.3 percent in the first quarter of 2011—five times greater than before
the recession. Unrest in the Middle East contributed to a rise in energy prices, with the price of oil reaching $100 per
barrel and gas prices climbing to more than $4 per gallon. Despite steady corporate profits and record levels of cash held
by corporations, firms have limited their investments in capital and labor, and unemployment rates for the nation and
the State remain high. With energy prices rising and continued weakness in the labor and housing markets, con-
sumers have become more cautious and reduced the growth in their spending. In addition, the financial markets were
disrupted by renewed concerns over the European debt crisis, primarily centered on a potential default in Greece.

The Reporting Entity and Its Services


The funds and entities included in this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are those for which the State is account-
able, based on criteria for defining the financial reporting entity prescribed by the GASB. The criteria include: legal stand-
ing, fiscal dependency and financial accountability. Based on these criteria, the various funds and entities shown in this
report are considered as part of the reporting entity (see Notes 1 and 14 of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements).
The State provides a range of governmental services in such areas as education, social services, health and envi-
ronment, criminal justice, transportation, mental hygiene, and housing, among others, and also administers the New York
State and Local Retirement System.

Component Units
Component units are discretely presented and reported as public benefit corporations (Corporations), which includes
Public Authorities, and are legally separate entities that are not operating departments of the State. Corporations have
been established for a variety of purposes such as economic development, capital construction, financing, and public trans-
portation. The powers of the Corporations generally are vested in their governing boards. The Governor, with the approval
of the State Senate, appoints a majority of the members of the Board of most major Corporations, and either the Governor
or the Board selects the chairperson and chief operating officer. Corporations are not subject to the State constitutional
restrictions on the incurrence of debt which apply to the State, and may issue bonds and notes within legislatively autho-
rized amounts.
Corporations submit annual reports on their operations and finances accompanied by an independent auditors’ report
to the Governor, the Legislature and the State Comptroller. Corporations are generally supported by revenues derived
from their activities, although in recent years the State has provided financial assistance, in some cases of a recurring nature,
to certain Corporations for operating and other expenses, and in fulfillment of its commitments on moral obligation
indebtedness. The Corporations have been presented in the accompanying financial statements as component units of
the State. The amounts presented in this report were derived from the Corporations’ most recent audited financial state-
ments. At year-end these entities reported net assets of $38 billion. For further information, refer to Note 14 of the Notes
to the Basic Financial Statements.

Budgetary and Other Control Systems


The State Constitution requires the Governor to submit a cash basis balanced Executive Budget that contains a complete
plan of expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year, and identifies the anticipated revenues sufficient to meet the proposed
expenditures. Included in the proposed budget are provisions for spending authority for unanticipated revenues or unfore-
seen emergencies in accordance with statutory requirements. The Executive Budget also includes both cash basis and
GAAP basis financial plans for the ensuing fiscal year, as well as a three-year financial projection for governmental funds
and a five-year capital plan. The accounting policies used in developing the GAAP basis financial plans are generally con-
sistent with those used in preparing the annual GAAP financial statements. Generally, the financial plans are updated quar-
terly. The Legislature enacts appropriation bills and revenue measures embodying those parts of the Executive Budget
it has approved. Expenditures are controlled at the major object level (e.g., personal service, grants to local governments)
within each program or project of each State agency in accordance with the underlying approved appropriation bills.

In developing the State’s accounting system, consideration was given to the adequacy of internal controls. Internal
accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements
and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of control should
not exceed the benefits derived. The State’s internal accounting controls are periodically tested to ensure adherence to
internal control policies and procedures.
In 1987 the Legislature passed the New York State Governmental Accountability, Audit and Internal Control Act, which
commits the State to enhancing existing systems of internal controls in all State governmental entities. As a result,
there is now a requirement for managers in all branches and components of government to maintain comprehensive inter-
nal control systems and to regularly evaluate the effectiveness and adequacy of these systems by internal reviews and exter-
nal audits. Finally, the legislation promotes accountability by assuring that all external audits are made available to the public.

General Governmental Results


An operating surplus of $1.5 billion is reported in the General Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. As a result,
the General Fund now has an accumulated fund deficit of $2 billion. The State completed its fiscal year ended March
31, 2011 with a combined Governmental Funds operating surplus of $1.9 billion as compared to a combined
Governmental Funds operating surplus in the preceding fiscal year of $123 million. The combined operating surplus of
$1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 included an operating surplus in the General Fund of $1.5 billion,

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Audit Committee


New York State Legislature:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the State of New York (the State), as of and for
the year ended March 31, 2011, which collectively comprise the State’s basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the State’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements
based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of certain discretely presented
component units identified in note 14, the State University of New York, the Tuition Savings
Program or the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The certain discretely presented
component units represent 51% of the total assets and 64% of the total revenues of the aggregate
discretely presented component unit amounts. The State University of New York represents
100% of the total assets and total revenues of the SUNY fund and 56% of the total assets and
22% of the total revenues of the business-type activities. The Tuition Savings Program
represents 6% of the total assets and 6% of the total revenues (including additions) of the
aggregate remaining fund information. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
represents 100% of the information disclosed in note 15. Those financial statements were
audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and, our opinions,
insofar as they relate to the amounts and disclosures included for those component units, the
State University of New York, the Tuition Savings Program and the Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey, are based on the reports of the other auditors.

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 of material misstatement. The financial statements of the Lottery, a
major enterprise fund, and of certain discretely presented component units identified in note 14,
were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. An audit includes
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the State’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the reports of other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented
component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the State of
New York, as of March 31, 2011, and the respective changes in financial position, and where
applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
July 25, 2011 on our consideration of the State’s internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report
is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and
should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

The management’s discussion and analysis and required supplementary information listed in the
accompanying table of contents, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have
applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management
regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary
information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the State of New York’s basic financial statements. The introductory
section, other supplementary information section, and the statistical section, listed in the
accompanying table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The other supplementary information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied by us and other auditors in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The introductory section and the statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no
opinion on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


(unaudited)
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) provides a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of
the State of New York (State) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduc-
tion to the State’s basic financial statements, which have the following components: (1) government-wide financial state-
ments, (2) fund financial statements, and (3) notes to the financial statements. The MD&A is designed to (a) assist the
reader in focusing on significant financial matters, (b) provide an overview of the State’s financial activities, (c) identify
any material changes from the original budget, and (d) highlight individual fund matters. The following presentation
is by necessity highly summarized, and in order to gain a thorough understanding of the State’s financial condition, the
following financial statements, notes and required supplementary information should be reviewed in their entirety.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
y New York State reported net assets of $27 billion, comprised of $135.9 billion in total assets offset by $108.9 billion in
total liabilities (Table 1).
y The State’s net assets decreased by $1.1 billion as a result of this year’s operations, offset by a restatement of net asset
balance resulting from implementation of an accounting standard which requires reporting for derivative instruments.
The net assets for governmental activities decreased by $328 million (1.2 percent), comprised of $252 million from
operations and a restatement of net asset balance of $76 million. The net assets for business-type activities decreased
by $734 million (632.8 percent), comprised of $732 million from operations and a restatement of net asset balance
of $2 million (Table 2).
y The State’s governmental activities had total revenues of $132.8 billion, which exceeded total expenses of $131.3 billion,
excluding transfers to business-type activities of $1.7 billion, by $1.5 billion (Table 2).
y The total cost of all the State’s programs, which includes $26.6 billion in business-type activities, was $158 billion
(Table 2).
y The General Fund reported a surplus this year of $1.5 billion, which decreased the accumulated fund deficit to $2 billion.
y The State reported additional Federal funding of $13.6 billion for Medicaid, unemployment benefits, education and
other programs from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Federal Stimulus) as of March 31, 2011.
y Total debt outstanding at year-end was $56.1 billion, comprised of $45.9 billion in governmental activities and $10.2 billion
in business-type activities (Table 5).

USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT


This annual report consists of a series of financial statements and supplementary information. The Statement of Net Assets
and the Statement of Activities (on pages 31 and 32, respectively) provide information about the activities of the State
as a whole and present a longer-term view of the State’s finances. Fund financial statements start on page 34. For gov-
ernmental activities, these statements show how services were financed in the short-term, as well as how much may remain
for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the State’s operations in more detail than the government-
wide statements by providing information about the State’s most significant funds. The remaining statements provide finan-
cial information about activities for which the State acts solely as a trustee for the benefit of those outside the
government and about public benefit corporations for which the State is accountable. The layout and relationship of the
financial statements and supplementary information is visually illustrated as follows:

Reporting the State as a Whole


The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities
The analysis of the State, as a whole, begins on page 22. One of the most important questions asked about the State’s
finances is: “Is the State, as a whole, better off or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?” The Statement of Net Assets
and the Statement of Activities report information about the State as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps
answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is sim-
ilar to the accounting method used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses
are taken into account, regardless of when cash was received or paid.
These two statements report the State’s net assets and changes to them. One can think of the State’s net assets—the
difference between assets and liabilities—as one way to measure the State’s financial health, or financial position. Over time,
increases or decreases in the State’s net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating.
One may need to consider other non-financial factors, such as changes in the State’s tax structure, population, employ-
ment, and the condition of the State’s roads, bridges and buildings, in order to assess the overall health of the State.
In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, operations of the State are divided into three kinds
of activities:
y Governmental Activities—Most of the State’s basic services are reported here, including education, public health,
public welfare, public safety, transportation, environment and recreation, support and regulation of business, gen-
eral government, and interest on long-term debt. Federal grants, personal income taxes, consumption and use taxes,
business and other taxes, transfer of lottery revenues, and bond proceeds finance most of these activities.
y Business-type Activities—The State charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or part of the cost of certain ser-
vices it provides. The State’s Lottery Fund, Unemployment Insurance Benefit Fund, the State University of New
York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) Senior Colleges are reported here.
______________________________________________________________________________________________ STATE OF NEW YORK
• 21

y Component Units—The State includes 43 separate legal entities in its report, as disclosed in Notes 1 and 14 of the
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. Although legally separate, these “component units” are important because
the State is financially accountable for them and may be affected by their financial well-being. In addition, the State
blends two other component units in the governmental activities because they provide services exclusively to the State.

Reporting the State’s Most Significant Funds


Fund Financial Statements
Financial statements prepared at the fund level provide additional details about the State’s financial position and
activities. By definition, funds are accounting entities with a self-balancing set of accounts created for the purpose of car-
rying on specific activities or achieving specific goals. Information presented in the fund financial statements differs from
the information presented in the government-wide statements because the perspective and basis of accounting used to
prepare the fund financial statements are different than the perspective and basis of accounting used to prepare the gov-
ernment-wide statements. The State’s governmental and proprietary fund types use different perspectives and account-
ing bases. The funds presented in the fund financial statements are categorized as either major or non-major funds as
required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The State uses three fund types for operations—gov-
ernmental, proprietary and fiduciary. The analysis of the State’s major funds begins on page 24. The fund financial state-
ments begin on page 34 and provide detailed information about the most significant funds, not the State as a whole.
y Governmental Funds—Most of the State’s basic services and expenditures are reported in governmental funds, which
focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances remaining at year-end that are available for
spending. Governmental fund financial statements are prepared using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can read-
ily be converted to cash. Assets and liabilities that do not impact current financial resources within 12 months after
fiscal year-end, such as capital assets and long-term liabilities, are not recognized in the governmental funds state-
ments. The governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view of the State’s general government oper-
ations and the basic services the State provides. Governmental funds information helps determine whether there are
more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the State’s programs. The relationships
(or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of
Activities) and governmental funds are presented in the reconciliations following the fund financial statements.
y Proprietary Funds—These funds are utilized when the State charges customers to recover its costs of providing ser-
vices. Proprietary funds report on business-type activities, which include enterprise type funds and internal ser-
vice type funds. The State has no internal service type funds on a GAAP basis and, therefore, has only one
proprietary fund type—Enterprise. The State’s enterprise funds are the same as the business-type activities
reported in the government-wide statements. Proprietary Funds statements are prepared using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. In addition to a Statement of Net Assets and
a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Assets, Proprietary Funds are also required to report
a Statement of Cash Flows (page 40).

Reporting the State’s Fiduciary Responsibilities


The State is the trustee, or fiduciary, for its employees’ pension plans. It is also responsible for other assets that,
because of a trust arrangement, can be used only for the trust beneficiaries. All the State’s fiduciary activities are reported
in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Assets and Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets on pages 42 and 43, respectively. We
exclude these activities from the State’s government-wide financial statements because the State cannot use these
assets to finance its operations. The State is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for
their intended purposes.

Component Units of the State


The State has created numerous public benefit corporations—two of which provide services exclusively to the State gov-
ernment itself, the New York Local Government Assistance Corporation (LGAC) and the Tobacco Settlement Financing
Corporation (TSFC), and the rest of which also provide services directly to citizens. The financial position and activities
of the LGAC and the TSFC have been blended within the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities in the gov-
ernmental activities column and in the governmental funds. The financial position and activities of the public benefit
corporations that provide services directly to citizens have been presented in the Statement of Net Assets and Statement
of Activities under the component units’ column and also in more detail in the component units’ Combining Statement
of Net Assets and component units’ Combining Statement of Activities. These component units have been discretely pre-
sented in the State’s financial statements because their nature and significance to the State cause them to have an effect
on the fiscal condition of the State and the State is accountable for them.

OVERALL FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Governmental entities are required by GAAP to report on their net asset condition. The Statement of Net Assets presents
the value of all of New York State’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over
time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of changes in a government’s financial position.
The State reported net assets of $27 billion, comprised of $65.8 billion in capital assets net of related debt, and $4.1 bil-
lion in restricted net assets, offset by an unrestricted net assets deficit of $42.9 billion.
Net assets reported for governmental activities decreased by $328 million (comprised of $252 million from opera-
tions and a restatement of net asset balance of $76 million due to the implementation of an accounting standard which
requires reporting for derivative instruments), decreasing from $28 billion to $27.7 billion from last fiscal year.
Unrestricted net assets for governmental activities—the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-to-day opera-
tions without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, or other legal requirements—had a deficit
of $40.5 billion at March 31, 2011. The following table (Table 1) was derived from the current and prior year government-
wide Statements of Net Assets:

The deficit in unrestricted governmental net assets, which increased by nearly $2 billion in 2011, exists primarily
because the State has issued debt for purposes not resulting in a capital asset related to State governmental activities. Such
outstanding debt included: securitizing the State’s future tobacco settlement receipts ($3 billion); eliminating the need
for seasonal borrowing by the LGAC ($3.3 billion); and borrowing for local highway and bridge projects ($3.8 billion),
local mass transit projects ($2.1 billion), and a wide variety of grants and other expenditures not resulting in State cap-
ital assets ($13.1 billion). This deficit in unrestricted net assets of governmental activities can be expected to continue
for as long as the State continues to have obligations outstanding for purposes other than the acquisition of State gov-
ernmental capital assets.

The net assets for business-type activities decreased by $734 million (comprised of $732 million from operations and
a restatement of net asset balance of $2 million), to a deficit of $618 million in 2011 as compared to a surplus of $116
million in 2010. The decrease in net assets for business-type activities was caused primarily by: unemployment benefit pay-
ments for the Unemployment Insurance Fund exceeding employer contributions ($601 million); SUNY and CUNY Senior
College expenses exceeding revenues and State support ($165 million and $8 million, respectively); and a net restate-
ment of CUNY’s beginning net assets ($2 million).

Governmental Activities
The State’s total revenues for governmental activities of $132.8 billion exceeded its total expenses of $131.3 billion by
$1.5 billion (Table 2). However, as shown in the Statement of Activities on page 32, the amount that State taxpayers ulti-
mately financed for activities through State taxes and other State revenues was $66.6 billion, including education aid trans-
fers from the State Lottery of $3 billion, grants and contributions of $54.5 billion, and revenues derived by those who
directly benefited from the programs of $11.7 billion. Overall, the State’s governmental program revenues, including inter-
governmental aid, fees for services and capital grants, were $66.2 billion in 2011. The State paid for the remaining “pub-
lic benefit” portion of governmental activities with $61.8 billion in taxes and $4.8 billion in other revenues including
investment earnings.

Business-type Activities
The cost of all business-type activities this year was $26.6 billion, a decrease of $1.2 billion as compared to $27.8 billion
in 2010 (Table 2). The decrease in expenses for business-type activities was caused primarily by decreases in unemployment
benefit payments for the Unemployment Insurance Fund, and decreases in nonoperating expenses for the SUNY
Fund. As shown in the Statement of Activities on page 32, the amount reported as transfers that General Fund tax rev-
enues ultimately financed for business-type activities was $1.3 billion after activity costs were paid by: those directly ben-
efiting from the programs ($12.3 billion), and grants and contributions ($11.5 billion). The increase in revenues from
operating grants and contributions was primarily due to Federal reimbursable benefit programs that provide assistance
for high unemployment benefit payments. The increase in revenues from charges for services was caused by increases
in SUNY hospitals’ inpatient and outpatient revenues and Medicaid Disproportionate Share Program revenue, increases
in SUNY’s enrollment, and increases in CUNY Senior Colleges’ enrollment and tuition rates.

THE STATE’S FUNDS


The State uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with legal and finance-related requirements. As
the State completed the year, its governmental funds (as presented in the balance sheet on page 34) reported a combined
fund balance of $5.8 billion. Included in this year’s total change in fund balance is a surplus of $1.5 billion in the State’s
General Fund which resulted from expenditures exceeding revenues by $8 billion, which was offset by other financing
sources of $9.5 billion to the General Fund. Although the General Fund reported an increase in personal income taxes
($2.6 billion), consumption and use taxes ($519 million), and other taxes ($395 million), the General fund also
reported a decrease in business tax revenue ($361 million) and miscellaneous revenues ($916 million). Personal
income taxes and consumption and use taxes primarily increased due to changes in the law and the economic recovery.
The increase in other taxes was related to collections in the estate tax from larger estates. The decline in business taxes
was mostly due to lower collections in corporate and utility taxes, insurance taxes and bank taxes. A reduction in mis-
cellaneous revenues is related to lower collections of temporary utility surcharges, contributions from several authori-
ties, and in fines. The increase in General Fund revenues was offset by a $961 million increase in expenditures. Local
assistance expenditures increased by nearly $155 million, due primarily to increased Medicaid assistance from the Federal
government. State operations increased $806 million, due primarily to increases in pension and healthcare costs. The
State ended the 2010-11 fiscal year with a General Fund accumulated deficit fund balance of $2 billion.
The Enterprise Funds financial statements provide the same type of information found in the government-wide finan-
cial statements, but in more detail. The change in net assets of the Enterprise Funds has already been discussed in the
preceding discussion of business-type activities.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights


The financial plan, which uses the cash basis of accounting, was updated quarterly throughout the year as required by
the State Finance Law. The quarterly updates reflected revisions to the original financial plan based on actual operating
results to date and an updated analysis of underlying economic, revenue and spending trends.
General Fund disbursements exceeded receipts by $926 million in 2010-11. The General Fund ended the fiscal year
with a closing cash fund balance of $1.4 billion, which consisted of $1.2 billion in the State’s rainy day reserve funds ($1
billion in the Tax Stabilization Reserve Account and $175 million in the Rainy Day Reserve Account), $136 million in
the Community Projects Account, $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Account, and $13 million in refund reserves.

• 25

Actual operating results were $9 million less favorable than anticipated in the original financial plan, and fell above
the projections in the final financial plan by $19 million. The original financial plan projected that expenditures
would exceed receipts by $917 million in 2010-11. During the fiscal year, actual receipts and disbursements were less than
the level forecast in the original financial plan. The 2010-11 Enacted Budget plan assumed base tax growth of 2.2 per-
cent. Actual base tax growth for 2010-11, at 2.1 percent, finished very close to the initial estimate. Based on the financial
plan, lower than expected collections from personal income taxes and business taxes were nearly offset by higher than
anticipated receipts from consumption and use and other taxes. Total disbursements for 2010-11 were lower than pro-
jected in the original financial plan, attributable to lower local aid spending, across virtually all areas; the most signifi-
cant variances occurring in public health and social services. In addition, lower agency operations spending resulted from
attrition, layoffs, and early retirement.
The final financial plan (issued on March 3, 2011) projected negative General Fund operating results of $945 mil-
lion, or $19 million below actual results. The most significant variances from the final financial plan include higher-than-
anticipated collections in personal income tax offset by lower collections for business taxes and higher spending
driven by the timing of certain payments due and budgeted for the first quarter of 2011-12 but that were made in the final
quarter of 2010-11.
The State’s General Fund GAAP surplus of $1.5 billion reported on page 36 differs from the General Fund’s bud-
getary basis deficit of $926 million reported in the reconciliation found under Budgetary Basis Reporting on page 100.
This variation results from differences in basis of accounting, entity and perspective differences between budgetary report-
ing versus those established as GAAP and followed in preparation of this financial statement.

CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION


Capital Assets
As of 2011, the State has $93.2 billion invested in a broad range of capital assets, including equipment, buildings, con-
struction in progress, land preparation, and infrastructure, which primarily includes roads and bridges (Table 4).
This amount represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $2.5 billion over last year.

State-owned roads and bridges that are maintained by the Department of Transportation are being reported using the
modified approach. As allowed by the reporting provisions in the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement
(GASBS) No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, infra-
structure assets that meet prescribed criteria do not have to be depreciated but must be maintained at levels defined by
State policy. The State is responsible for maintaining more than 42,500 lane miles of highway and 7,857 bridges.
Highway condition is rated using a scale of A1 (very poor) to A10 (excellent) based on the prevalence of surface-related
pavement distress. For bridges, a rating of 6 to 7 is excellent, which indicates that no repairs are necessary. A rating of 3
to 5 is fair to good, which indicates that minor repairs are required. A rating of 1 to 2 is deficient, which indicates major
repairs or replacements are necessary. Refer to Required Supplementary Information (RSI) for additional information
regarding infrastructure assets using the modified approach. Pavement condition rating parameters for the current year
are expected to be between 6.7 and 7.2, while bridge pavement condition parameters are expected to be between 5.3 and
5.6. Capital spending for highway and bridge maintenance and preservation projects was approximately $1.2 billion in 2011.
26 • STATE OF NEW YORK
______________________________________________________________________________________________

The State’s 2011-12 fiscal year capital budget calls for it to spend $9.6 billion for capital projects, of which $4.5 bil-
lion is for transportation projects. To pay for these capital projects, the State plans to use $484.3 million in general oblig-
ation bond proceeds, $4.7 billion in other financing arrangements with public authorities, $2 billion in Federal funds,
and $2.4 billion in funds on hand or received during the year. More detailed information about the State’s capitalization
policy for capital assets is presented in Note 1 of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.

Debt Administration
The State has obtained long-term financing in the form of voter-approved General Obligation debt (voter-approved debt)
and other obligations that are authorized by legislation but not approved by the voters (non-voter-approved debt), includ-
ing lease-purchase and contractual obligations where the State’s legal obligation to make payments is subject to and paid
from annual appropriations made by the Legislature or from assignment of revenue in the case of Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. Equipment and Building Capital Leases, and Mortgage Loan Commitments, which represent $399 mil-
lion as of March 31, 2011, do not require legislative or voter approval. Other obligations include certain bonds issued
through State public authorities, certificates of participation, and capital leases obtained through vendors. The State admin-
isters its long-term financing needs as a single portfolio of State-supported debt that includes general obligation bonds
and other obligations of both its governmental activities and business-type activities. Most of the debt reported under busi-
ness-type activities, all of which was issued for capital assets used in those activities, is supported by payments from resources
generated by the State’s governmental activities—thus it is not expected to be repaid from resources generated by busi-
ness-type activities. The State Finance Law allows the bonded portion of this single combined debt portfolio, which includes
debt reported in both governmental and business-type activities, to include debt instruments which result in a net vari-
able rate exposure in an amount that does not exceed 15 percent of total outstanding State-supported debt, and inter-
est rate exchange agreements (swaps) that do not exceed 15 percent of total outstanding State-supported debt. At March
31, 2011, the State had $465 million in State-supported (net) variable rate bonds outstanding and $2.3 billion in inter-
est rate exchange agreements, in which the State issues variable rate bonds and enters into a swap agreement that effec-
tively converts the rate to a fixed rate. Risks related to these transactions are explained in Note 7.
In addition, the State has $1.2 billion in convertible bonds, which bear a fixed rate until future mandatory tender
dates in 2012 and 2013, at which time they can convert to either a fixed or variable rate. The interest rate mode will be
determined close to the conversion date.
At March 31, 2011, variable rate bonds, net of those subject to the fixed rate swaps, were equal to 0.9 percent of the
State-supported debt portfolio. Variable rate bonds that were converted to a synthetic fixed rate through swap agreements
of $2.3 billion were equal to 4.4 percent of the total State-supported debt portfolio. Additionally, CUNY reported $177
million in fixed-to-variable rate swap agreements outstanding, which were all terminated by March 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2011, the State had $56.1 billion in bonds, notes, and other financing agreements outstanding compared
with $55.3 billion last year, an increase of $842 million as shown below in Table 5.

The State’s assigned general obligation bond ratings on March 31, 2011 were as follows: AA by Standard & Poor’s
Investor Services (S&P), Aa2 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., and AA by Fitch Investor Service. The State Constitution,
with exceptions for emergencies, limits the amount of general obligation bonds that can be issued to that amount approved
by the voters for a single work or purpose in a general election. Currently, the State has $1.7 billion in authorized but
unissued bond capacity that can be used to issue bonds for specifically approved purposes. The State may issue short-term
debt without voter approval in anticipation of the receipt of taxes and revenues or proceeds from duly authorized but
not issued general obligation bonds.
The State Finance Law, through the Debt Reform Act of 2000 (the Act), also imposes phased-in caps on the
issuance of new State-supported debt and related debt service costs. The Act also limits the use of debt to capital works
and purposes, and establishes a maximum length of term for repayment of 30 years. The Act applies to all State-supported
debt. The Act does not apply to debt issued prior to April 1, 2000 or to other obligations issued by public authorities where
the State is not the direct obligor.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING THE STATE


During 2010, economic conditions began to improve for both the nation and New York State. Private sector employment
slowly started to increase, although gains were partially offset by rising job losses in the government. The nation’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and New York’s Gross State Product (GSP) rebounded from declines in 2009, as did personal
income. While the State as a whole outperformed the nation, the recovery in the State was still slow by historical stan-
dards, and not all regions of the State benefited equally. At the beginning of 2011, the recovery continued to be weak,
with consumers buffeted by rising energy prices and renewed declines in home values.
The nation began to emerge from the recession in the third quarter of 2009, and—aided by enactment of a major
federal stimulus program—the GDP surged by 5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 and by 3.7 percent in the first quar-
ter of 2010. During subsequent quarters, the recovery slowed, and for all of 2010 GDP growth averaged 2.9 percent. New
York State’s economy expanded at a faster rate than the nation’s in 2010, with the GSP rising by 5.1 percent. After siz-
able losses, job growth also resumed, with modest gains beginning in December 2009 for the State and in February 2010
for the nation. For all of 2010, the rate of job growth in the State (0.8 percent) was slightly higher than in the nation (0.7
percent).
Although job growth resumed in 2010, unemployment rates remain high. During the recession, the unemployment
rate more than doubled for the nation (rising from 4.4 percent in May 2007 to 10.1 percent in October 2009) and for
New York State (rising from 4.3 percent in March 2007 to 8.9 percent in September 2009). By December 2010, the rate
had only eased to 9.4 percent for the nation and 8.2 percent for New York.
Personal income rebounded in 2010 following declines in 2009. Nationally, personal income increased by 3 percent,
while New York State’s gain of 4.1 percent was the second-highest growth rate among all the states. Wages—the largest
component of personal income—increased by 4.4 percent in New York State in 2010 after falling by 7.2 percent in 2009.
28 • STATE OF NEW YORK
______________________________________________________________________________________________

The rebound in personal income and wages reflects Wall Street’s continued recovery from the financial crisis. During
2010, the broker/dealer operations of New York Stock Exchange member firms earned $27.6 billion, second only to the
record profits of $61.4 billion earned in 2009 (during the previous two years, the industry had combined losses of $53.9
billion). The rapid recovery in profitability was driven by government bailouts, the Federal Reserve’s low interest rate pol-
icy, and other government actions. The record profits in 2009 fueled a 27 percent increase in cash bonuses, most of which
was paid in the first quarter of 2010. As a result, wages in the securities industry rose by 12.8 percent in 2010 compared
to a 27.8 percent decline in 2009. Although the securities industry accounted for less than 3 percent of all jobs in the State,
it comprised 12.5 percent of all wages in 2010 and accounted for more than one-third of the increase in total wages
statewide that year.
Wall Street has begun to modify its compensation practices in response to regulatory reforms, including raising base
pay and deferring a greater share of bonuses in order to reward long-term profitability and discourage excessive risk-tak-
ing. This trend was evident in industry compensation for 2010, with overall compensation estimated to have risen by 6
percent even as cash bonus payments declined by nearly 8 percent for securities industry employees in New York City.
Inflation was subdued throughout most of 2010, rising by 1.6 percent nationally and by 1.7 percent in the New York
City metropolitan area. Excluding food and energy prices, core inflation during 2010 was 1 percent in the nation and
1.3 percent in the New York City metro area.
The housing market remained weak in 2010, as a modest recovery faltered by the end of the year. Home prices (as
measured by the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index) held steady in the New York metropolitan region between July 2009
and July 2010, after declining by 20 percent during the recession. Beginning in August 2010, however, home prices resumed
their decline, falling by nearly 5 percent through March 2011. Nationally, home prices declined by 4.2 percent between
July 2010 and March 2011 (home values in the U.S. declined by more than 30 percent during the recession).
The large inventory of homes in the foreclosure process has contributed to the weakness in the housing market. In
2010, there were nearly 3 million foreclosure filings in the nation and nearly 44,000 filings in New York State. Although
banks temporarily suspended filings in the second half of the year in response to documentation problems, the number
of filings still rose in the nation, and the foreclosure filing rate per 1,000 households edged up to 22.3 from 21.9 in 2009.
In New York State, the number of foreclosure filings fell by 12.8 percent in 2010, and the filing rate declined to 5.5 per
1,000 households, which ranked 42nd among all states. While the foreclosure crisis is less severe in New York State than
in many other parts of the nation, the percentage of mortgages in the State at some point in the foreclosure process con-
tinues to rise, reaching 5.3 percent in the first quarter of 2011—five times greater than before the recession.
During the first quarter of 2011, the pace of the recovery weakened as national GDP growth eased to an annual rate
of 1.9 percent. Unrest in the Middle East contributed to a rise in energy prices, with the price of oil reaching $100 per
barrel and gas prices climbing to more than $4 per gallon. Core inflation remained low in the nation during the first quar-
ter of 2011, averaging 2 percent, but when the higher costs of food and energy are added, the total inflation for this period
rises to 6.1 percent. The financial markets were also disrupted by renewed concerns over the European debt crisis, pri-
marily centered on a potential default in Greece and worsening problems in Ireland, Portugal, and Spain. Domestically,
despite steady corporate profits and record levels of cash held by corporations, firms have limited their investments in
capital and labor, and unemployment rates for the nation and the State remained high (at 8.8 percent for the nation and
8 percent for the State in March 2011).
With energy prices rising and continued weakness in the labor and housing market, consumers have become
more cautious. The consumer confidence index for the nation fell from 74.4 points in January 2011 to 67.5 points in March
2011, while the decline in confidence in the State was less severe, with a drop of one percentage point to 67.6 points in
March 2011. Growth in consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity, slowed to 2.2
percent in the first quarter of 2011, down from 4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues,


Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances (Deficits)
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
Year Ended March 31, 2011
(Amounts in millions)

Net change in fund balances—total governmental funds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,901

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:

Capital outlays are reported as expenditures in governmental funds and the sale of capital
assets is recorded as revenue in governmental funds. However, in the statement of activities,
the cost of capital assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
In the current period, these amounts are:
Depreciation expense, net of asset disposal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ (348)

Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. Repayment of bond principal
is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities
in the statement of net assets. This amount is the net effect of proceeds and repayments:

Proceeds received related to a collateralized borrowing are reported as a liability in the


statement of net assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (102)

Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds:

Supplementary
Information
General Fund
The General Fund is the most significant of the State’s funds. Most tax revenues
and certain miscellaneous revenues are recorded in the General Fund.

The General Fund is divided into several accounts. Expenditures in the form of
aid to local governments for their general purposes (e.g., State-local revenue
sharing) and to school districts and municipalities for certain specific purposes
(e.g., education and social services) are made from the Local Assistance account.
These payments, often based on specific legislated formulas, are nevertheless
limited under the State Constitution to appropriations in force. Expenditures
from the Local Assistance account normally comprise approximately 60 percent
of General Fund expenditures.

The expenditures of operating the departments of the Executive Branch, the


Legislature and the Judiciary, as well as expenditures for general state charges
such as contributions to employee retirement systems, are paid primarily from the
State Purposes account and normally comprise approximately 40 percent of the
General Fund expenditures.

Federal
Special Revenue Fund
The Federal Special Revenue Fund is a major fund that accounts for most federal
revenues and expenditures.

The Federal Special Revenue Fund is divided into several accounts. The Fund
accounts for federal grants received by the State that are earmarked for specific pro-
grams. The need to satisfy federal accounting and reporting requirements dictates
that federal grants be accounted for in a number of separate accounts. These
accounts include the Federal USDA—Food and Nutrition Services Account, the
Federal Health and Human Services Account, the Federal Education Account, the
Federal DHHS Block Grant Account, the Federal Operating Grants Account, the
Unemployment Insurance Administration Account, the Federal Unemployment
Insurance Occupational Training Account, and the Federal Employment and
Training Grants Account.

Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the State in a fiduciary
capacity or as agent for individuals, private organizations or other governments and
include Private Purpose Trust Funds, the State and Local Retirement System
Fund and Agency Funds.

Private Purpose Trust Funds:


Agriculture and Milk Producers’ Security Funds—to provide security to agriculture
and milk producers against loss of revenues.

Abandoned Property Fund—accounts for assets from banks, utilities, investment


companies, and insurance companies representing inactive accounts that are
required by law to be turned over to the State. The Comptroller is custodian of this
account. Assets are returned to the proper owner upon approval of a claim.

Tuition Savings Program Fund—accounts for contributions made by individuals and


families for college savings. The withdrawals from the Fund are used to pay college
costs at any eligible public and private college and university in New York State.

Agency Funds:
Employee Benefit and Payroll Related Funds—accounts for various employee
benefit programs, such as the New York State employee health insurance programs,
for the disposition of various payroll related deductions, such as for social security
contributions.

MMIS Statewide Escrow Fund—accounts for the transfer from other funds of the
Federal, State, and local shares of Medicaid program expenditures to a paying agent
for ultimate payment to health care providers.

Other Agency Funds—account for various escrow, revenue collection and agency
accounts for which the State acts in an agent’s capacity until proper disposition of
the assets can be made. This includes accounting for advances from the State for
paying CUNY operating costs.
