Neads Inc.

“Neads endowment consists of individual donor restricted funds established for a variety of purposes. Its endowment includes both donor restricted endowment funds and funds designated by neads to function as endowments. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed or legal restrictions. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, neads classifies as donor restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified as non-expendable net assets is classified as expendable net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by neads in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by state law. In accordance with the uniform prudent management of institutional funds act, neads may consider the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: the duration and preservation of the fund; the purposes of neads and the donor-restricted endowment fund; general economic conditions; the possible effect of inflation and deflation; the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments; other resources of neads; and the investment policies of neads. Neads has adopted investment and spending policies for its board-designated and other endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding for its programs while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under this policy, as approved by the board, the endowment assets are invested in a portfolio of debt and equity securities with the objective of achieving long-term capital appreciation while moderating the level of investment risk. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount. To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, neads relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest, dividends and net rental income). Neads has invested in debt and equity securities that target a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints. Neads has a policy of appropriating for distribution each quarter actual income plus realized and unrealized gains. In establishing this policy, neads considered the long-term expected return on its endowment. This is consistent with neads' objective to maintain the purchasing power of its endowment. From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor imposed restrictions require neads to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. Neads may appropriate for expenditure from these underwater endowment funds in accordance with the prudent measures prescribed by state law. Such deficiencies amounted to $67,834 and $0 as of august 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.”
