“THE COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO WAS ORIGINALLY SET BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN 2008 WHEN THE CEO WAS HIRED, FOLLOWING A CANDIDATE SEARCH AND COMPARISON OF THE SALARY HISTORIES OF CANDIDATES CONSIDERED FOR THE POSITION. THIS COMPENSATION REMAINed UNCHANGED UNTIL 2014 WHEN THE EXECUTIVE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MET AND REVIEWED HER PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS COMPENSATION DATA FROM A STUDY BY AN INDEPENDENT FIRM AND PUBLISHED DATA ON INCREASES IN THE COST OF LIVING. HER COMPENSATION WAS ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. IN 2015, UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE CEO'S CONTRACT, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED AN EXTENSION FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS, INCLUDING AN ANNUAL COST OF LIVING INCREASE BASED ON THE INCREASE IN THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR EACH YEAR. THESE DELIBERATIONS WERE ALL REFLECTED IN MEMORANDA FROM THE COMMITTEE. When setting the compensation for Ms. Glazer, the Board considered the fact that she does not participate in any of the employee benefit plans offered by NOD. In addition, NOD does not pay employer-related payroll taxes for Ms. Glazer. All of Ms. Glazer's fringe benefits and payroll taxes are paid by Carol Glazer Consulting, Inc. As a result, the amount reported as compensation to Carol Glazer Consulting, Inc. was designed to reflect not only the salary of an experienced nonprofit leader, but also all fringe benefits and employer payroll taxes as well.”

“In order to fund the start-up of NOD's sustainable social enterprise, known as Bridges to a Better Workforce, the Organization raised money through the Bridge's Capital Campaign (the Campaign). The funds raised were designed to be spent down over a 5-year period with a projected break-even date of 2020. Funds from the Campaign are utilized to the extent needed to offset any excess of expenses over revenues from the Organization's unrestricted net assets as resources are expended to advance the Organization's programmatic efforts. To date, NOD has been able to use less of the Campaign than originally planned, allowing for a larger cushion as the Organization progresses towards its earned revenue goals. For 2015, the budgeted drawdown for the Campaign was $1,141,000 and the actual drawdown was $1,140,796. For 2016, the budgeted drawdown from the Campaign was $1,348,023 and the actual drawdown was $1,132,429. The Organization's anticipated future drawdowns from the Campaign for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, and beyond are $1,141,965; $574,106; $131,183; and $264,409; respectively.”
