2007-2008 Annual Report

Timeless Treasures
Mississippi State University Foundation Annual Report 2007~08
k
Many of the private gifts made in
support of Mississippi State University
allow the institution to definitively
withstand the test of time. In the 131
years of Mississippi State history,
countless donors have generously given
to preserve university landmarks and
Bulldog traditions that are unique to
the university. In this MSU Foundation
Annual Report, timeless treasures are
captured through beautiful watercolors
which pay homage to some of the
university’s most heartwarming scenes.

h
THE DRILL FIELD
It began as a field in the early days of
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College
when the school was founded as one of the
land-grant institutions authorized by the federal
Morrill Act of 1862. After its creation by law
in 1878, the college opened its doors to 354
students in the fall of 1880 as a military school.
The field was used as their parade ground.
Mississippi A&M would evolve into Mississippi
State College by 1932. The transition into a
full-fledged university would follow in 1958.
A bust of General Stephen D. Lee, the
school’s first president, occupies the north side
of the Drill Field. Constructed in 1909 as an
academic building and a chapel, Lee Hall was
named in his honor. Across the way, its mirror
image would be reflected in the Swalm Chemical
Engineering Building built 90 years later. The
Colvard Student Union anchors one corner of
the Drill Field and the Mitchell Memorial Library
another. More than 17,000 students now roam
the campus of the university, countless numbers
of them crossing the Drill Field paths each day.

Give for tomorrow today.
The concept is simple and achievable.

Many people would like to make significant charitable gifts to support the organizations
or institutions they care about—like Mississippi State University. However, concerns about
personal and family financial security often make such gifts appear impossible. Since 1962,
the MSU Foundation has assisted countless donors explore the many ways of supporting the
university with meaningful gifts. Donors may support areas of Mississippi State with the
greatest need by making continuous annual gifts; however, perpetual support is needed for
virtually every area of the university.

P
PRIVATE GIFTS are a powerful way to support Mississippi
State University. Gifts from constituents provide the university with
a margin of excellence it needs to meet and fulfill the expectations
of the state and the nation. Today, private gifts secured through
the MSU Foundation account for one-third of the university’s
total revenue.
During fiscal year 2007-08, Mississippi State partnered with
alumni and friends in charitable giving efforts surpassing the $50
million mark for the fourth consecutive year. Of the more than
$51.6 million raised, deferred gifts such as bequests, gift annuities,
trusts and individual retirement accounts made up $19.3 million
—an impressive 92 percent increase over fiscal year 2006-07. This
signals deferred giving at Mississippi State is on the rise, and a
continued trend of this nature will be vital to ensure the university’s
fundraising success in the years to come.
Over time, Mississippi State has become the beneficiary of
many substantial gifts because its alumni and friends had the
forethought to include the university in their estate plans. The
MSU Foundation’s Office of Planned Giving is available to assist
alumni and friends with gift and estate planning. Gift planning is
about finding ways to make charitable gifts from your estate
while enjoying financial benefits for yourself. Estate planning and
gift planning, together, enable an individual to provide for the
people and charitable organizations most cared about.
h
The following pages are devoted to a few timeless gifts which are
representative of the most inspiring deferred commitments Mississippi
State proudly received during fiscal year 2007-08 in support of
students, faculty and programs.

M
M I S S I S S I P PI S TAT E ’ S more than 17,000 students are
benefiting directly or indirectly from private gifts—gaining a
foundation of knowledge they will take with them into the world
and ignite new discovery and fuel new communication.
Mississippi State faculty members sometimes support the
university through deferred gifts. Bruce Leopold, head of the
university’s wildlife and fisheries department in the College of
Forest Resources, is donating approximately 140 acres through a
retained life estate. The property is now part of MSU’s Bulldog
Forest program which allows landowners to create a lasting heritage.
Future earnings from the property will support an endowed
scholarship for wildlife and fisheries majors. Additional proceeds
will endow the Leopold Fund for Excellence which may support
endowed positions, scholarships and fellowships, faculty
development, equipment and other enhancements within the
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
Several other Mississippi State academic areas will add new
scholarships as the result of a planned gift in the form of a revocable
living trust. A trust established by Gil Foresman and his wife Cecile
of Starkville will create named scholarships in several disciplines.
The Foresman scholarships will one day benefit students enrolled
in the James Worth Bagley College of Engineering, the College of
Business, the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Division of
Student Affairs. Gil Foresman holds degrees from Mississippi
State in business administration and in engineering, and knows
first-hand the importance of an MSU degree.

h
GIVING THROUGH A BEQUEST
One of the simplest ways to make a gift to Mississippi
State University is naming the university as a beneficiary
in a will. During a lifetime, a bequest is private, changeable
at any time and does not deprive a donor of the use of
assets or income. A donor can specify an asset, an amount
of money, a percentage of the estate or a variety of other
designations.
Alumni and friends who plan to make a charitable
gift by will should meet with an attorney and clearly describe
what they would like to bequeath to the university. Then,
by simply providing proper documentation to the Office
of Planned Giving, donors may be recognized as members
of the Old Main Society. If a donor prefers to remain
anonymous, the gift will be kept completely confidential.
Through recognition of a deferred gift, others can be
encouraged to do the same.
The MSU Foundation Office of Planned Giving can
assist a donor and the donor’s attorney design a bequest
to Mississippi State by way of the MSU Foundation.
Simple guidelines can help ensure that your gift will qualify
as an estate tax deduction and that it accomplishes the
purpose intended.
h

G
G I F TS I N S U P P O RT of Mississippi State University also
may be given in honor or memory of loved ones, former classmates
and even mentors. Such is the case with a gift from an anonymous
benefactor who has chosen to salute a former dean of MSU’s College
of Business by giving through his individual retirement accounts.
W. C. Flewellen Jr., now a Tupelo resident, served as dean of
the business college for most of the 1960s. The unnamed alumnus,
a business major during Flewellen’s MSU tenure, praised the former
dean’s leadership and deep commitment to students.
Currently valued at $2.2 million, the deferred gift will be used
to establish an endowed chair in marketing for a high-caliber faculty
member and an endowed classroom for teaching and learning in
the business college. It also contributes significantly to an endowed
scholarship previously established by the donor that also honors
Flewellen.
Other donors choose to support the university by establishing
funds bearing their name. Alumnus Hines Brannan and his wife
Linda are residents of Atlanta, who maintain their connection to
Mississippi State through various activities.
Mississippi State will one day receive proceeds from an IRA
earmarked for general university scholarships following the passing
of Hines Brannan. Recipients of these future scholarships will be
residents of Mississippi and graduates of a Mississippi high school.
8
h
GIVING THROUGH AN IRA
Donors may support Mississippi State University
through individual retirement accounts, known as IRAs.
There are two different ways to give through an IRA.
One way is to make a charitable bequest of your
IRA assets on your IRA beneficiary designation form. A
bequest of your IRA assets to a charitable organization
avoids all estate and income taxes. The organization will
keep 100 percent of the IRA assets and will apply them to
a charitable purpose you choose.
Another IRA transfer option, made possible by
recent legislation, can be made during a donor’s lifetime.
Thanks to extended charitable IRA legislation,
donors may once again make charitable gifts using IRA
funds without tax complications. Persons required to
receive minimum distributions from an IRA who do not
need the money for personal use may consider using
those funds as a charitable gift. While a donor cannot
claim a charitable deduction for the gifts made in this
manner, the donor will not pay income tax on the donated
amount. Donors may contribute funds this way if they are
aged 70½ or older and if the IRA gifts total $100,000 or
less each calendar year in 2008 and 2009.
Donors should contact the MSU Foundation Office
of Planned Giving for information on making a charitable
IRA rollover gift or for information on making Mississippi
State University the beneficiary of an IRA.

Since its founding, Mississippi
State University has capitalized on the
dedication of its most loyal alumni
and supporters who understand the
importance of entwining their legacies
with the prosperity of Mississippi
State. Today, Mississippi State thrives
because of this faithful dedication and
unwavering support which allows the
university to advance its mission of
teaching, research and service.

THE CHAPEL
The Chapel of Memories at Mississippi
State University was constructed in the early
1960s and was dedicated in October 1965. Since
then, the Chapel has been the site of countless
weddings of current and former students and has
been used by numerous religious organizations.
It is one of the most recognizable buildings on
the Starkville campus. The Chapel’s Carillon Tower
is 112 feet tall and chimes every hour.
The Chapel was partially constructed from
the bricks of a previous university landmark—
Old Main Dormitory. Built in 1880 and expanded
over several years, Old Main housed cadets and
was reputed to be the country’s largest dormitory
under one roof. The building burned in January
1959 and the fire claimed the life of one of the
dorm’s 1,100 residents. The Chapel honors all
who lived in Old Main during its 79 years of
existence.

A
ANOTHER POPUL AR WAY in which a donor may choose
to support Mississippi State University is through a charitable gift
annuity.
A wonderful example of a charitable gift annuity benefitting
Mississippi State and the donor is one established by Starkville
resident Frank T. Jackson. In fact, Jackson has funded several gift
annuities with the MSU Foundation. Proceeds will support an
endowed fund for the Mitchell Memorial Library and support an
endowed scholarship in the Richard C. Adkerson School of
Accountancy in the College of Business. These endowments will
assist these areas in perpetuity.
The gift annuity was a win-win situation for Jackson and
Mississippi State. In exchange for his gifts to MSU, Jackson got a
tax break and also receives an income for as long as he lives.
Then, MSU retains the remaining assets to support the MSU
Libraries and the accounting scholarship.
Other recent examples of donors who have supported
Mississippi State by way of a charitable gift annuity include two
Hattiesburg couples.
A gift annuity from James and Dana Cherry will create an
endowed scholarship bearing their names for students in the
James Worth Bagley College of Engineering. James is a 1949
mechanical engineering graduate, while Dana earned a master’s
degree in education in 1967.
Another scholarship will benefit the department of
mathematics and statistics in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The generous gift is made possible by John and Betty Pearson.

GIVING THROUGH A
C H A R I TA B L E G I F T A N N U I T Y
Establishing a charitable gift annuity is a wonderful
way for a donor to secure steady payments while providing
benefits for the MSU Foundation. A deferred gift annuity is
a great way for alumni and friends to boost retirement funds.
A charitable gift annuity provides a donor with lifetime
income and does not require a large donation. In exchange
for an irrevocable gift of cash or securities, a donor will
receive a charitable income tax deduction in the year of the
gift, as well as fixed income payments — part of which are
tax-exempt. When the annuity terminates, the remaining
assets are used in accordance with the donor’s designation.
The annuity is a contract with the MSU Foundation that
requires no legal or administrative fees.
Donors may use deferred gift annuities to boost their
retirement income and get a competitive rate of return
along with an income tax deduction. With a deferred gift
annuity, the start of payments is delayed until a specific
date, initially determined by the donor. In exchange for
agreeing to defer payments, the donor receives a higher
interest rate depending on age and the length of the
deferred period.
Establishing a charitable gift annuity is a safe way to
produce secure steady payments and benefit any area of
Mississippi State University.

AN INHERITANCE of land left to him by his grandfather
afforded Thomas E. Bradshaw an opportunity to give something
back to the state of Mississippi. The property climbed in value over
the years, and since Bradshaw has no heirs, he decided to use his
inheritance to benefit students attending school in Mississippi.
Bradshaw, who lives in Brandon, established charitable remainder
trusts that pay him an income now and, after his lifetime, will benefit
Mississippi State. The trusts are funded with commercial real estate
valued at nearly $2.5 million. Proceeds from the trust will establish
the T. E. Bradshaw Memorial Endowed Scholarship. Bradshaw’s
creation of the scholarship aligns perfectly with the needs of
Mississippi State. It is through scholarships like his and other
unrestricted gifts that MSU is able to help students who otherwise
might not be able to enroll or complete a degree.
Other substantial deferred gift commitments are assisting
Mississippi State faculty members as they interact with a wider array
of students. The Watkins Endowed Faculty Fellowship will assist
MSU faculty as they mentor students in the Richard C. Adkerson
School of Accountancy in the College of Business.
John T. Watkins and his wife Flora created an endowed faculty
fellowship in accountancy with a charitable remainder trust prior to
his death.
John Watkins taught accounting at Mississippi State from 1946
to 1950 before beginning a career in public accounting. He was later
one of the founding partners of Watkins, Ward, and Stafford CPAs,
one of the largest accounting firms in the state. Flora Watkins also
attended Mississippi State.

GIVING THROUGH A
C H A R I TA B L E R E M A I N D E R T R U S T
A charitable remainder trust reaps substantial benefits
for a donor and Mississippi State University.
Establishing a charitable remainder trust provides
multiple financial benefits. The donor earns a substantial
charitable income-tax deduction and will receive payments
for life, or a term of up to 20 years, in addition to supporting
Mississippi State.
A charitable remainder trust works like this: A donor
transfers assets to a trust managed by a trustee. Then,
the trust document is developed specifying amount of
income to be received, length, beneficiaries, payment type
(fixed or varied) and charitable recipient for the trust. The
donor receives benefits including an immediate income
tax deduction and, if applicable, bypass of capital gains
tax on the sale of the assets placed in the trust. At the
end of the trust’s term, remaining assets go to a designated
charity such as Mississippi State University.

Give for tomorrow today.
Our vision can become a reality.

Mississippi State University faithful may learn more about giving for tomorrow today
by contacting the MSU Foundation and its Office of Planned Giving for the most up-to-date
gift planning techniques available. Brochures and personalized reports on the potential
benefits of deferred giving are available with no obligation. Many may be obtained
online in the convenience of one’s home. The MSU Foundation does not offer legal advice,
but urges all interested alumni and friends to consult an attorney for detailed estate planning.

BUST OF STEPHEN D. LEE
Mississippi State University continues to
honor its heritage as a land-grant institution
founded more than 131 years ago. The university’s
first president, General Stephen D. Lee, keeps
vigil over the historic Drill Field, looking southward
away from Lee Hall, the building that carries
his name. The bust of General Lee was donated
by his son Blewlett Lee in 1909. In 1986, the Chi
Omega sorority donated funds for the brick-work
and shrubbery that surround the bust.
General Lee led Mississippi A&M as its first
president for 19 years, serving from 1880 to 1899.
Lee was the youngest lieutenant general in the
Confederate States Army during the American
Civil War and later became a Mississippi legislator.
Following his tenure at Mississippi A&M, he was
the commander-in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans. The MSU Foundation salutes Stephen D.
Lee with a special giving society which recognizes
university donors for lifetime support.

As more and more alumni and friends
grow to understand the importance of
this philosophy of giving for tomorrow
today, Mississippi State will prosper
further. The university’s strategic plan is
an inspiring vision for the future, and
donors who support this vision will earn
satisfaction through their commitment to
the institution’s future work. With gifts
given today or intentions documented
today, alumni and friends assist the
univeristy as it makes great strides toward
making this vision a reality.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
W
The Board of Directors
Mississippi State University Foundation, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position
of Mississippi State University Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) as of
June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of activities and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Foundation’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
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 Foundation’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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Foundation as
of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in its net assets and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Organization
Mississippi State University Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) is a not-for-profit entity established to solicit
and manage funds for the benefit of Mississippi State University (the University). The Foundation also manages
funds for affiliates of the University, including MSU Alumni Association, MSU Alumni Foundation, MSU
Bulldog Club, Inc. and MSU Bulldog Foundation.
(b) Basis of Accounting
These financial statements, which are presented on the accrual basis of accounting, have been prepared to
present balances and transactions according to the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. This has
been accomplished by classification of net assets and transactions into three classes – permanently restricted,
temporarily restricted or unrestricted as follows:
Permanently restricted net assets – net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained
permanently by the Foundation. Generally, the donor of these assets permits the Foundation to use all or part
of the income earned on related investments for general or specific purposes in support of the University.
Temporarily restricted net assets – net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will be
met by actions of the Foundation and/or the passage of time.
Unrestricted net assets – net assets which represent resources generated from operations or that are not
subject to donor-imposed stipulations. Unrestricted net assets include contributions designated to a particular
college or unit for which the use or purpose is unrestricted.
Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless use of the related assets is limited by
donor-imposed restrictions. Expenditures 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. Expirations of restrictions on net assets
(i.e., the donor-stipulated purpose has been fulfilled and/or the stipulated time period has elapsed) are reported
as reclassifications between the applicable classes of net assets.
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, that is, when the conditions
on which they depend are substantially met. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded at their
estimated fair value. Contributed goods and services are recorded as revenues and expenses in the statement of
activities at estimated fair value.
Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments of permanently restricted net
assets are reported as follows:
• as increases in permanently restricted net assets if the terms of the gift or the Foundation’s interpretation
of relevant state law require that gains be added to the principal of a permanent endowment fund;
• as increases or decreases in temporarily restricted net assets if the terms of the gift impose restrictions on their use;
• as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets in all other cases.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
An estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the allowance for
uncollectible pledges.
The Foundation’s investments are invested in various types of investment securities and in various companies
within various markets. Investment securities are exposed to several risks, such as interest rate, market and credit
risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
CONTINUED
51
N OT E S TO F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S
|
JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially
affect the amounts reported in the Foundation’s financial statements.
(d) Land, Buildings and Equipment
Land, buildings and equipment are stated at cost, if purchased, or at fair value on the date of gift, if donated.
Depreciation of buildings and equipment, including assets acquired under capital leases, is provided on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets or the term of the lease. The estimated
useful lives for buildings is 30-40 years and furniture, fixtures, and equipment is 5-10 years.
The Foundation assesses potential impairment to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes
in circumstances have made recovery of the carrying value of the assets unlikely. An impairment loss is recognized
when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.
(e) Investments
The Foundation’s investments primarily consist of publicly traded fixed income and equity securities, other
investments, and cash held for reinvestment. Other investments include real estate investments, private equity
funds and hedge funds through fund-of-funds structures generally organized as limited partnerships or limited
liability companies. The fair value of publicly traded fixed income and equity securities investments are based on
quoted market prices. Since partnership and member interests do not have readily ascertainable market values and
may be subject to withdrawal restrictions, the Foundation values these investments in accordance with valuations
provided by the general partners or fund managers of the underlying partnerships or companies. The Foundation’s
management may, in addition, consider other factors in assessing the fair value of these investments. Real estate
is valued at estimated fair value. Cash held for reinvestment consists primarily of liquid short-term instruments
held by the investment pool.
The Foundation believes that the carrying amount of its other investments is a reasonable estimate of fair
value as of June 30, 2008 and 2007. Because other investments are not marketable, the estimated value is
subject to uncertainty and, therefore, may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market
for the investment existed.
The liquidity crisis that originally was linked principally to the sub-prime lending markets has spread to
other corners of the credit markets in the U.S. and internationally. It is not possible at this time to predict the
full impact or duration of the existing illiquid credit market conditions. The unstable market conditions and the
resulting uncertainties contribute to additional risks associated with certain significant investment valuation
estimates. There has been a negative return on the Foundation’s investments from July 1, 2008 through
September 30, 2008. Management continues to monitor the composition of its portfolio to assess the potential
impact of these market conditions on the valuation of its investments.
(f) Pledges
All unconditional promises to give are recorded at their estimated realizable value on a discounted basis.
(g) Split Interest Agreements
The Foundation accepts gifts subject to split interest agreements. These gifts may be in the form of gift annuities,
charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts or perpetual trusts. At the time of receipt, a gift is recorded based
upon the fair value of assets donated less any applicable liabilities. Liabilities include the present value of projected
future distributions to the annuity or trust beneficiary and are determined using appropriate discount rates (at June
30, 2008 rates ranged from approximately 3% to 8%). For certain split interest agreements where the measurement
objective is fair value, the discount rate is adjusted to a current market rate at each reporting date. Funds subject to
split interest agreements are classified as temporarily restricted or permanently restricted based upon donor designations.
Externally managed trusts consist of irrevocable charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts and perpetual
trusts whereby the Foundation is the beneficiary, not the trustee. The Foundation records these trusts, after discovery
of their existence, at the present value of the estimated future cash receipts from the assets of the trust. Contribution
revenue attributable to split interest agreements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $304,461
and $932,698, respectively.

JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
(h) Bond Issuance Costs and Bond Discounts
Bond issuance costs and bond discounts are being amortized over the term of the related bond issue using
the straight-line method, which does not significantly differ from the effective interest method.
(i) Income Taxes
The Foundation is a not-for-profit entity as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
(the Code) and is exempt from Federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code.
(j) Liquidity
Assets are presented according to their nearness to cash and liabilities are presented according to their
nearness of payment or use of cash.
(k) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 financial statements to conform to the 2008
presentation.
(l) Correction of Accounting Error
The 2008 financial statements include a correction of an error, which arose in prior years as a result of the
Foundation accounting for its lease of an airplane as an operating lease, rather than as a capital lease. This
correction also results in the Foundation recording equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, and a capital
lease obligation of $3,542,320 and $3,606,672, respectively, in the 2008 statement of financial position. The
Foundation’s management has reviewed this accounting error utilizing applicable accounting literature and
believes the impact of correcting this error is not material to current or prior period financial statements.
(m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements but does
not require any new fair value measures. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The Foundation is in the process of determining the impact of this statement on its financial statements.
The FASB has issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 117-1, Endowments of Not-for-Profit Organizations:
Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional
Funds, Act (UPMIFA), and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment Funds, which provides guidance about the
net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to
an enacted version of UPMIFA and expands disclosures about endowment funds (both donor-restricted and
board-designated endowment funds), regardless of whether an organization is subject to UPMIFA. FSP SFAS
No. 117-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2008. The Foundation is currently evaluating
the impact of the provisions of FSP SFAS No. 117-1 on its financial statements.
(2)
Investments
The Foundation, the University, the MSU Alumni Foundation and the MSU Bulldog Club, Inc. are
participants in a joint venture whereby certain assets are pooled for investment purposes. The Foundation manages
the assets of the pool and maintains separate accounts for each participant. Investment income, gains and losses, and
expenses of the pool are allocated to each participant based on their share of ownership of the pool. At June 30, 2008
and 2007, approximately 82% and 81%, respectively, of the Foundation’s investments are included in the pool.
The spending allocation for endowments are based on specified annual rates as determined by the Foundation’s
board of directors. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of certain permanently restricted investments have
gone below their historical cost and the deficiency of $1,015,890 and $9,247, respectively, has been recorded in
unrestricted net assets.

The Foundation holds investments totaling $88,414,406 and $67,533,987 at June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, which are subject to certain liquidity limitations. These limitations include, but are not limited to,
lock-up provisions whereby the Foundation is unable to redeem shares of an investment for a period of time, usually
3 years after the initial investment, private equity commitments of 10 years from initial commitment, and notice
provisions whereby the Foundation is required to provide notice, ranging from 15 to 90 days, to transact a redemption
of an investment.
The Foundation has entered into various split interest agreements, including charitable lead annuity trusts,
charitable remainder unitrusts, and charitable gift annuities, whereby the Foundation serves as trustee. The assets held
under these split interest agreements are included in investments at June 30, 2008 and 2007 with an approximate
fair value of $7,564,000 and $7,345,000, respectively.

JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
In April 2002, the Foundation issued $6,000,000 in Series 2002 Variable Rate Revenue Bonds through the
Mississippi Business Finance Corporation. Principal installments are due in fixed amounts through 2012. Interest is
payable at a variable rate (1.6% at June 30, 2008). The bonds are secured by a letter of credit. The bonds have an
early redemption feature; however, a premium is due if the Foundation retires the bonds early. The Foundation
redeemed the bonds in November 2008.
Interest expense incurred during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $95,430 and $129,349,
respectively.

Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the statements of financial position for cash, other receivables, and accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these
financial instruments. The carrying amount of pledges receivable and amounts due from externally managed trusts
approximate fair value as they are presented on a discounted basis. The fair value of the notes receivable has been
estimated using current interest rates and approximate the carrying amounts at June 30, 2008 and 2007. The fair
value of the various debt instruments has been estimated using interest rates currently offered to the Foundation for
borrowings having similar character, collateral and duration. The fair value of such debt instruments approximates
the carrying amounts at June 30, 2008 and 2007.

A
PARTNERS IN CHANGE FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Alumni and friends of Mississippi State University are partners in change.
Together, along with dedicated MSU administrators, faculty and staff, we have
become the catalyst for a brighter future for all those associated with our university.
Mississippi State University continues to grow at a steady rate. As the university
enters its 131st year, Mississippi State is led by an energetic new leader, Dr. Mark
E. Keenum. Enrollment at the university stands at more than 17,000, and we are
making excellent progress toward achieving higher national ranking as an
institution. Future fundraising initiatives will assist MSU with further anticipated
growth in enrollment.
In recent decades, much of the credit for the university’s success can be
attributed to the growing philanthropic support of alumni, friends and parents. Since
the MSU Foundation was formed in the early 1960s, it has been instrumental in
significantly fostering the progress of the university. Private funds provide the
enriching features which create the margin of excellence at this great institution. The
success of the recently concluded State of the Future capital campaign will continue
to have a positive impact on our university for decades.
As we reflect on FY 2008, the Foundation marked its fourth consecutive year
of surpassing a $50 million total in funds raised. The MSU Foundation now
administers most of the institution’s fundraising activities and endowment funds. It
is our goal to grow this endowment significantly through the coming years.
There is no investment that carries with it more satisfaction than investing in
the future of the students, the faculty and the programs of Mississippi State.
Despite uncertain economic times, giving in support of the university can
positively impact the economy of the region.
The Foundation met our financial goals in FY 2008, and we are aiming even
higher in FY 2009. Despite the challenges of the global economic situation, we
remain optimistic. We hope you will join us as we renew our commitment to the
future of Mississippi State University—a lasting legacy for all of us.
Sincerely,
Richard C. Adkerson
President, MSU Foundation Board of Directors

CAMPUS GINKGO TREES
It seems quite fitting that the Ginkgo, one
of the oldest species of trees on Earth, can be
found on Mississippi State’s 131-year-old campus.
Mississippi State is known for having one of the
most striking college campuses in the Southeast.
The Ginkgo tree is but one of the ornamental
trees which enhance the interior of the pedestrianfriendly campus. Visitors, returning alumni and
friends, and even prospective students and their
parents, often remark on the allure of the university’s
aesthetically pleasing campus and lush grounds.
Careful maintenance of the grounds and upkeep
of the university’s “stately” buildings are done
to ensure the campus infrastructure and physical
appearance remain inviting and pride-inspiring
for future generations.
Mississippi State is currently working to
secure private funds for the preservation of its
campus buildings and grounds. Nurturing a
beautiful campus takes countless hours and
funds are needed for the replacement of trees and
sidewalks. Since routine annual maintenance
of the campus grounds can prove to be costly,
private funds designated for an endowment will
allow the university to mitigate these costs.
