Operating Results for the Year
2007/08 is another fruitful year for the University. After catering for the
increased expenditure for the expanding activities, the University was able
to maintain a surplus of $381.4 million ($487.6 million for 2006/07). This
has further strengthened the University’s financial position in transition to
2012 when the 4-year undergraduate (UG) system is launched.
Consolidated Income
Consolidated income for the year was $2,780.5 million ($2,721.1 million
in 2006/07), comprising $1,681.1 million (60.4%) from government
subventions, $589.5 million (21.2%) from tuition and program fees, $118.5
million (4.3%) from interest and investment income, $171.6 million (6.2%)
from donations, $140.0 million (5.0%) from auxiliary services and other
income of $79.8 million (2.9%).
The increase in consolidated income in 2007/08 was mainly attributable
to a supplementary grant from the University Grants Committee (UGC)
for the cost of living salary adjustment, a growth in tuition fees from the
expanding self-financing education programs and activities, but partly
offset by a decrease in investment and interest income due to a downturn
in the investment market and lowering of bank deposit interest rates.
Consolidated Expenditure
Consolidated expenditure for the year was $2,401.2 million ($2,237.6
million in 2006/07), comprising $1,774.4 million (73.9%) for learning and
research activities, $120.6 million (5.0%) for management and general
expenditure, $361.3 million (15.1%) for premises and related expenses,
and $144.9 million (6.0%) for other items.
The increase in consolidated expenditure was partly due to an upward
cost of living salary adjustment made in line with that for the civil servants,
and additional expenses for the expanding self-financing programs, the
growing research activities in the Mainland through the Fok Ying Tung
Graduate School in Nansha, and the beginning of front-end spending on
the 4-year UG system.
全年營運情況
2007/08年度為大學另一個豐盛年。在扣除大
學因擴充活動而增加之開支後，大學仍能保
持381,400,000元的可觀盈餘（2006/07年度為
487,600,000元）。這使大學能保持強健的財務狀
況，為2012年實施四年新學制做好準備。
綜合收入
本年度綜合收入為2,780,500,000元（2006/07年
度為2,721,000,000元），其中，1,681,100,000元
（60.4%）為政府補助，589,500,000元（21.2%）
為學費及課程收費，118,500,000元（4.3%）為
利息及投資收入，171,600,000元（6.2%）為捐
款，140,000,000元（5.0%）為輔助服務收入及
79,800,000元（2.9%）其他項目收入。
2007/08年度綜合收入的增加主要來自教資會因
生活指數薪金調整而增發的補助撥款，及擴充自
籌資金教育課程及活動而增長的學費，但部份被
投資回報下降及銀行存款利息下調所抵銷。
綜合開支
本年度綜合開支為2,401,200,000元（2006/07年
度 為2,237,600,000元 ）， 其 中，1,774,400,000
元（73.9%）為學術及研究活動，120,600,000
元（5.0%）為管理及一般事務，361,300,000元
（15.1%）為校舍及有關費用，144,900,000元
（6.0%）為其他項目。
綜合開支的增幅主要來自因公務員生活指數薪金
調整而增加的開支，擴充自籌資金課程而增加的
開支，因南沙霍英東研究院而增加的內地研究活
動，還有四年新學制項目的初期開支。
