VEE PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT ME PRESIDENT July 11, 1996 The Honorable Kevin B. Kelly and Members of the City Council City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, Illinois 60120 - Dear Mayor Kelly and City Council Members: Pursuant to the request of the City, Speer Financial, Inc. has reviewed the audited financial statements of Judson College. The audits are on a fiscal year ending June 30 and were prepared by several auditing firms. The review is related to the application of the College to issue $4,000,000 tax exempt revenue bonds through the City for the hotel renovation project. The proceeds of the bond issue will be used by the College to finance the acquisition, renovation, and improvement of the Lindner Center, formerly known as the Elgin Inn, and to reimburse the College for costs already incurred relating to the Lindner Center. The new Lindner Center is expected to provide needed space for classrooms, laboratories, dormitory rooms, and offices. Extensive renovation will give the Lindner Center the appearance of a new building. Once completed, the Lindner Center, with four acres of land and 93,000 square feet of space, will provide: dormitory rooms for 264 students; office and classroom space for the College's Department of Continuing Education; office and classroom space for the business, education and social sciences departments; six state-of-the-art classrooms as well as psychology, education and computer laboratories; offices for a counseling center and community outreach programs; and parking for students, faculty and visitors. The Center will give the College visibility from the Northwest Tollway. In addition, there is room for a day care facility, planned for the future. The $4,000,000 financing will be part of the $7,200,000 project, with the balance coming from contributions to the College. The $7,200,000 budget is as follows: Purchase of the Elgin Inn property $1,700,000 Renovation/Equipment/Furnishings 5,000,000 Endowment enhancement 500.000 Total $7,200,000 Note that these bonds, similar to industrial revenue bonds, are tax exempt through the City's issuance, but are not direct obligations of the City. The bonds are only payable from revenues of the College. These are known as 501(c)(3) bonds, as the College is a not-for-profit entity. As with other educational institutions of higher learning, a religious affiliation is not significant, so long as the proceeds are not used for religious education facilities. Financial Analysis As the accompanying table indicates, the College has been financially stable over the past five years.

The gift campaign is reported A have in excess of$4,000,000 of pledges. However, funds on hand are significant and can assist in the repayment of the bonds in the likelihood that the gift campaign was not completely successful. As of the 1995 audit, the available, unrestricted endowment funds are $1,673,307. Conclusion We recommend that the City proceed based on the benefit of the project to the City, the likelihood of success of the gift campaign and the cash on hand. Sincerely, /c4 . f Kevin W.
