Open Budget Meeting DEVELOPING ISSUES FINANCIAL HEALTH (FINANCIAL RATIOS & TRENDS WHAT ARE THEY AND WHAT DO THEY TELL?) They are a TOOL that assists the institution with achievement of its goals by: Measuring success factors against institutional strategic objectives Identifying financial anomalies and focusing attention on matters that should be of concern to the institution and Allows the institution to establish benchmarks for comparisons with similar institutions 12

Capital Liability Burden Ratio Primary Reserves Return on Net Assets Measure of whether or not the institution's resources are growing. This ratio determines whether the institution is financially better off than in previous years by measuring total economic return. A decline in this ratio may be appropriate and even warranted if it reflects a strategy to better fulfill the institution's mission. An improving trend in this ratio indicates that the institution is increasing its net assets and is likely to be able to set aside financial resources to strengthen its future financial flexibility. STOCK PORTFOLIO PAYING DIVIDENDS , HOME VALUE INCREASING Measures what percentage of an institution s income is used to make PPV payments. Basically, the percentage of total revenues in any given fiscal year that are used to pay an institution s capital lease payments associated with the PPV program. Measure of financial strength.
