As of June 30, 2010, total assets under management were almost 2.78 billion. Our debt service payment reserves increased to 10 months, wellabove the standard “best practice” of six months of reserve.For FY10, the State Treasurer’s Office had an approved budget over all functional areas of 6,280,777;however, only 5,459,841 was spent, saving more than 800,000 in taxpayer dollars. Further, only 21% of thetotal expenditures were paid for with General Fund appropriation, with the balance being funded by assessmentsand trust fund transfers, a further savings of taxpayer money.In spite of one of the worst financial crises the nation and state have faced, the Treasurer’s Office was able towork with the Governor’s Office and legislators to maintain the state’s good credit rating through prudent fiscaladministration and debt management.The Unclaimed Property Division had another banner year in FY10, with 88.8 million in collections and nearly 21 million returned to owners. In fact: collections from holders in FY10 were almost 200% above collectionsin 2005; individual claims paid have increased by 94.7% since 2005, while the dollar amount returned hasincreased by 160%. Further, as a direct result of expanded outreach and the adoption of “Best Practices,” theState Treasurer’s Office was able to transfer more than 66 million to the state General Fund to be used tosupport critical programs in the state at a time when budget restraints are extraordinary tight, the highest amountin the state’s history.Other noteworthy accomplishments achieved during FY10: the Nevada Prepaid Tuition program achieving anear 100% funded status and doubling the number of new contracts purchased compared to FY07; the state’sCollege Savings Plans program continuing to be ranked in the top ten nationally; the renegotiation of the state’scontract with the College Savings Plans program manager resulting in several fee reductions for accountholders, as well as greater benefits to the state; the adoption of a Fast Track Claims process and a VoluntaryDisclosure Agreement program by the Unclaimed Property Division; and the successful issue of Build AmericaBonds in relation to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, resulting in a savings to taxpayers of 4.6million.In cooperation with the Governor and Legislature, I look forward to continuing our efforts to increaseefficiencies and cost-saving ideas aimed at providing the best services at the least expensive cost to the people ofNevada.Respectfully submitted,Kate MarshallState TreasurerNEVADA STATE TREASURER32010 ANNUAL REPORT

Financial Management of College SavingsThe Board of Trustees of the College Savings Plans of Nevada, which is chaired by TreasurerMarshall, provides financial oversight for the investment managers, program managers and accountholders in the College Savings Program.

A Comprehensive Investment Plan was developed and approved for the CollegeSavings Plans.Investment Policies for the Nevada Prepaid Tuition Program were updated, a majorrevision of the Master Agreement was completed, and the long-term financial health ofthe Program was reviewed.A 10 Year Plan for the College Savings Endowment Account was established, whichincluded funding for several items: detailed financial monitoring, an updated customerservice website access system, and 5.5 million stabilization funding to the NevadaPrepaid Tuition Program.NEVADA PREPAID TUITION PROGRAMThe Nevada Prepaid Tuition Program, which began in 1998, continues to offer a smart savings optionto Nevada residents or graduates of the Nevada System of Higher Education looking to begin a collegesavings program for their newborn to ninth grade child.

GGOOVV. GGUUIINNNNMMIILLLLEENNNNIIUUMM SSCCHHOOLLAARRSSHHIIPPIn 1999, the Legislature unanimously approved the dedication of 40 percent ofNevada’s Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement payments to fund the MillenniumScholarship Program, which by legislative decree during the 2007 session wasrenamed after former Gov. Kenny Guinn.The program provides scholarship funding toward attendance at any college or university located in thestate to Nevada high school students who, as of June 2009: Graduated with a minimum GPA of 3.25Has been a resident and attended a high school in Nevada for at least two yearsGraduated with a diploma from a public or private Nevada high schoolPassed the Nevada High School Proficiency ExaminationCompleted a core curriculum consisting of 4 units of math (including Algebra II), 4 units ofEnglish, and 3 units each of natural and social sciences.There is no application process for the student to complete. Nevada high schools electronically submitthe names of eligible students to the Millennium Scholarship Program in the Treasurer’s Office.Including the graduating class of 2010, more than 93,000 high school seniors have been eligible for theMillennium Scholarship, with an average utilization rate of over 71 percent since the program wasestablished. By the end of the spring 2010 school term, more than 228 million had been distributed to59,785 Millennium Scholars, who collectively earned more than 20,910 associate, bachelor, and othercertificates and degrees.Millennium Scholarship Executive Director Reba CoombsNow in its tenth year, the Gov. Guinn Millennium Scholarship Program has continued to recognize,make contact with, and support students in their pursuit of higher education. The State Treasurer’sOffice partners and collaborates with the Nevada System of Higher Education and the NevadaDepartment of Education to enhance and support Millennium Scholars.NEVADA STATE TREASURER152010 ANNUAL REPORT

During the 2009 legislative session, two bills provided enhancements to the program: Assembly Bill96 established a co-enrollment policy whereby a student can be enrolled in two eligible institutions andcontinue to receive Millennium funding from both institutions; Senate Bill 209 allows an extension ofthe 6-year expiration deadline if a student is participating in a charitable, religious, or public serviceassignment or mission.Due to enormous budget constraints felt by the Legislature as a result of one of the worst economicperiods in our nation’s history, decisions were made by the Legislature to remove 32.8 million inmillennium scholarship funding. Although funding for the Gov. Guinn Millennium Scholarshipprogram does not come from General Fund dollars, the Legislature felt it necessary to remove theprogram’s normal funding mechanisms—tobacco master settlement agreement monies and unclaimedproperty transfers—to pay for other programs administered by the state.Coupled with anunanticipated, lower-than-projected April 2010 payment to the state as part of the tobacco mastersettlement agreement, the Gov. Guinn Millennium Scholarship program was projected to incur ashortage during FY11. Working with legislators to find a solution became a main focus of the office.Fortunately, a funding mechanism was identified to make this valuable program whole through thecoming school year. However, the future of the Gov. Guinn Millennium Scholarship rests in the handsof the 2011 Legislature.There are seven Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) eligible institutions where students mayutilize their scholarship award, as well as Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village, and the Universityof Southern Nevada in Henderson.An administrator of the program, the State Treasurer’s Office continues to: Operate the program’s database (MiSL: Millennium Scholarship Ledger), which collects, stores,and maintains data on Millennium Scholars. Collect data from high schools on eligible high school seniors in a fully automated and securemethod so they can be provided award packets with the scholarship information. Conduct outreach efforts throughout the state at college fairs, schools, private companies, PTAgroups, and other venues to hear about the Millennium Scholarship Program. Cooperate with representatives of each NSHE institution, NSHE System Administration, SystemComputing Services, Millennium Scholarship Advisory Committee, Nevada Association ofSchool Superintendents, Leadership Forum of High School Counselors, and the NevadaDepartment of Education to enhance outreach efforts. Collect eligibility data from 17 county school districts, 39 private high schools, adult education,GED, and home school applicants. Disseminate information to Nevada high school students, high school counselors, NSHEinstitutions, and the general public. Work with the Millennium Scholarship Advisory Committee and NSHE System ComputingServices on a system-wide review process to review balance irregularities.NEVADA STATE TREASURER162010 ANNUAL REPORT

UUNNCCLLAAIIMMEEDD PPRROOPPEERRTTYY DDIIVVIISSIIOONNThe State of Nevada’s Unclaimed Property Division has the responsibility ofcollecting, safeguarding, and distributing unclaimed property for current and pastresidents and businesses. Companies and governmental agencies are required byNRS 120A to submit annual holder’s reports and to turn over to the stateunclaimed intangible assets and contents of safe deposit boxes. Assets includesecurities, bank deposits, payroll checks, utility deposits, insurance proceeds, andother items specified in Nevada’s statutes. Property is considered abandoned whenit remains unclaimed for the number of years prescribed by statute. The person,business, or legal entity entitled to receive the property never loses the right to makea claim for the asset (or value of items sold). Owners could include the estate orthe heir to the original owner.During FY10, the Unclaimed Property Division continued its mission of improving collections ofunclaimed property from holders while, at the same time, delivering greater returns to rightful owners.Collections topped the 88.8 million mark in unclaimed property from holders, with returns to rightfulowners surpassing 20.6 million. In fact, in comparison to FY05: collections have increased byapproximately 200%, individual claims paid have increased by 94.7%, and the dollar amount paid torightful owners has increased by 160%. Further, for FY10, the State Treasurer’s Office transferredmore than 66 million to the state General Fund to be used to support critical programs in the state at atime when budget restraints are extraordinary tight, the highest amount in the state’s history.As part of the Division’s continuing efforts to improve the claims process, a new Fast Track processwas initiated in FY10 that allows a claim to be paid through an automated process. Of the 14,449claims paid by the Division in FY10, 29% were paid via Fast Track. Claims under 1,500 are eligiblefor the Fast Track process. As a result of this innovative process being adopted, claimants receive theirmoney in a fraction of the time as compared to a manual claim. In addition, the new user-friendlyprocess has resulted in an 18% increase over FY 09 in the number of claims paid.Total Unclaimed Property receiptsPayments to claimantsAdministrative costsTransfer to Millennium Scholarship FundTransfer to Educational Trust Fund FY1088,827,48920,683,6771,933,13708,910 FY0977,265,40125,390,2901,743,148040,570At the conclusion of FY10, the state was holding approximately 409 million in unclaimed property.The State Treasurer’s Office, Nevada Unclaimed Property Division, continues to utilize many methodsadopted since Treasurer Marshall took office to reunite rightful owners with their unclaimed property: A user-friendly website (nevadatreasurer.gov) that provides individuals the ability to easilysearch the state’s database of abandoned property, as well as to initiate claims.NEVADA STATE TREASURER182010 ANNUAL REPORT

The Unclaimed Property Division conducts an auction in Las Vegas once a year of property heldby the state that has passed the statutorily-mandated abandonment period.Abandoned property can be any financial asset owed to a business or an individual. Property isconsidered abandoned when there has been no activity and/or contact with the owner for a specificperiod of time. The property type will determine the abandonment period; however, it is generallythree years. When a holder's attempts to locate the rightful owner have been unsuccessful, the assetsmust be escheated (turned over) to the state of the last known address. The State Treasurer's Office isresponsible for protecting the assets and advertising the rightful owners' names in attempting to returnthe assets to the rightful owners. Examples of abandoned/unclaimed property include: bank accounts;un-cashed payroll checks, insurance checks, traveler's checks; utility deposits; gift certificates; stocks,bonds, mutual funds, dividends; insurance policy benefits, or claim payments; safe deposit boxcontents; oil and gas royalties; and court deposits.
