 4 year and thereafter, an institution subject to this article shall be
 5 authorized to retain funds in excess of their allowable and reimbursable

 7 amount of funds that may be annually retained shall not exceed one
 8 percent of the institution's total allowable and reimbursable costs for
 9 services and programs provided to students for the school year from
 10 which the funds are to be retained, provided that the total accumulated
 11 balance that may be retained shall not exceed four percent of such total
 12 costs for such school year and provided, further, that such funds shall
 13 not be recoverable on reconciliation, such funds shall be carried
 14 forward as total reimbursable costs for purposes of calculating subse-
 15 quent year prospective and reconciliation tuition rates and such funds
 16 shall be separate from and in addition to any other authorization to
 17 retain surplus funds on reconciliation. Funds may be expended only
 18 pursuant to an authorization of the governing board of the institution
 19 for a purpose expressly authorized as part of allowable costs for the
 20 year in which the funds are to be expended, provided that funds may be
 21 expended to pay prior year outstanding debts. Any institution that
 22 retains funds pursuant to this subdivision shall be required to annually
 23 report a statement of the total balance of such retained funds, the
 24 amount, if any, retained in the prior school year, the amount, if any,
