  "summary": "ASC 958-205 governs the presentation of a not-for-profit entity's general-purpose financial statements. A complete set consists of a statement of financial position, a statement of activities, a statement of cash flows, and notes (958-205-45-4), with net assets classified in two minimum classes—net assets with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions (958-205-45-2(b)). It also prescribes when donor restrictions expire, how endowment funds (including those under UPMIFA) are classified, and the required endowment and underwater endowment disclosures.",
  "key_points": [
    "A complete set of NFP financial statements includes a statement of financial position at period end, a statement of activities and statement of cash flows for the period, plus accompanying notes (958-205-45-4).",
    "NFPs must classify and report net assets in two groups—with donor restrictions and without donor restrictions—based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions; the two classes are a minimum scheme that may be further disaggregated (958-205-45-2(b); 958-205-05-6B).",
    "All NFPs must report information about all expenses in one location (face of the statement of activities, a note schedule, or a separate statement) in an analysis showing the relationship of functional to natural classifications (958-205-45-6; 958-720-45-15).",
    "Expiration of a donor-imposed restriction is recognized in the period the restriction expires—when the stipulated time elapses or the stipulated purpose is fulfilled—and where multiple temporary restrictions exist, when the last one expires (958-205-45-9); restrictions on long-lived assets expire when the assets are placed in service (958-205-45-12).",
    "Under an enacted version of UPMIFA, the original gift, subsequent gifts, and investment returns of a donor-restricted endowment fund are net assets with donor restrictions until appropriated for expenditure by the governing board, at which point the appropriated amount is reclassified if time and purpose restrictions are met (958-205-45-13D through 45-13F).",
    "Accumulated losses of an underwater endowment fund stay with that fund in net assets with donor restrictions, and the NFP must disclose in the aggregate the fair value, the original gift/required level, and the deficiency (958-205-45-13H; 958-205-50-2).",
    "Required endowment disclosures include the board's interpretation of relevant law, spending and investment policies, endowment composition by net asset class and fund type, and a beginning-to-ending reconciliation of endowment balances (958-205-50-1A through 50-1B); reporting by fund groups is not required but is not precluded (958-205-45-3)."

  "student_note": "This is the backbone of NFP reporting and a heavy CPA exam topic: know the three required statements, the two net asset classes, and the functional/natural expense analysis. The classic misunderstanding is endowment classification—under UPMIFA the entire donor-restricted endowment (including accumulated investment return and underwater deficits) stays in net assets with donor restrictions until the board appropriates it, while a board-designated (quasi-) endowment sits in net assets without donor restrictions.",

The primary purpose of financial statements is to provide relevant information to meet the common interests of donors, members, creditors, and others who provide resources to NFPs. Those external users of financial statements have common interests in assessing both of the following:

1.  a
    
    The services an NFP provides and its ability to continue to provide those services
    
2.  b
    
    How managers discharge their stewardship responsibilities and other aspects of their performance.

More specifically, the purpose of financial statements, including accompanying notes, is to provide information about all of the following:

1.  a
    
    The amount and nature of an NFP's assets, liabilities, and net assets
    
2.  b
    
    The effects of transactions and other events and circumstances that change the amount and nature of net assets
    
3.  c
    
    The amount and kinds of inflows and outflows of economic resources during a period and the relation between the inflows and outflows
    
4.  d
    
    How an NFP obtains and spends cash, its borrowing and repayment of borrowing, and other factors that may affect its [liquidity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#liquidity "An asset's or liability's nearness to cash. Donor-imposed restrictions may influence the liquidity or cash flow patterns of certain assets. For example, a donor stipulation that donated cash be used to acquire land and buildings limits an entity's ability to take effective actions to respond to unexpected opportunities or needs, such as emergency disaster relief. On the other hand, some donor-imposed restrictions have little or no influence on cash flow patterns or an entity's financial flexibility. For example, a gift of cash with a donor stipulation that it be used for emergency-relief efforts has a negligible impact on an entity if emergency relief is one of its major ongoing programs.")

General-purpose external financial statements provided by an NFP include a statement of financial position, a statement of activities, and a statement of cash flows. Individual financial statements provide different information, and the information each statement provides generally complements information in other financial statements.

General-purpose financial statements classify and report net assets in two groups—[net assets with donor restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets-with-donor-restrictions "The part of net assets of a not-for-profit entity that is subject to donor-imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants).") and [net assets without donor restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets-without-donor-restrictions "The part of net assets of a not-for-profit entity that is not subject to donor-imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants).")—based on the existence or absence of [donor-imposed restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#donor-imposed-restriction "A donor stipulation (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants) that specifies a use for a contributed asset that is more specific than broad limits resulting from the following: The nature of the not-for-profit entity (NFP) The environment in which it operates The purposes specified in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or comparable documents for an unincorporated association. Some donors impose restrictions that are temporary in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be used after a specified date, for particular programs or services, or to acquire buildings or equipment. Other donors impose restrictions that are perpetual in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be maintained in perpetuity. Laws may extend those limits to investment returns from those resources and to other enhancements (diminishments) of those resources. Thus, those laws extend donor-imposed restrictions.") and the nature of those restrictions.

The guidance in the Not-for-Profit Entities Topic uses certain statement titles and the terms _net assets without donor restrictions_ and _net assets with donor restrictions_. Other titles and other labels may also be used, as illustrated in paragraphs [958-205-55-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-55-2) and [958-210-55-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/210/958/#210-958-55-3).

The two required net asset classes (with donor restrictions and without donor restrictions) are a minimum classification scheme, if they are applicable. An NFP can choose to further disaggregate the two net asset classes. For example, an NFP may wish to disaggregate net assets with donor restrictions between those expected to be maintained in perpetuity and those expected to be spent over time or for a particular purpose. However, paragraph [958-210-45-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/210/958/#210-958-45-1) does require that the amounts for each of the two classes of net assets and the total of net assets be reported in a statement of financial position.

The Not-for-Profit Entities Topic does not use the terms fund balance or changes in fund balances because in current practice those terms are commonly used to refer to individual groups of assets and related liabilities rather than to an entity's net assets or changes in net assets taken as a whole. While reporting by fund groups is not a necessary part of external financial reporting, paragraph [958-205-45-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-45-3) does not preclude providing disaggregated information by fund groups.

Laws concerning use of net appreciation of [endowment funds](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#endowment-fund "An established fund of cash, securities, or other assets to provide income for the maintenance of a not-for-profit entity (NFP). The use of the assets of the fund may be with or without donor-imposed restrictions. Endowment funds generally are established by donor-restricted gifts and bequests to provide a source of income in perpetuity or for a specified period. See Donor-Restricted Endowment Fund. Alternatively, an NFP's governing board may earmark a portion of its net assets as a Board-Designated Endowment Fund. See Funds Functioning as Endowment.") that are donor-restricted may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, most jurisdictions follow enacted versions of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 or similar legal guidance (including interpretations of the law issued by state Attorneys General) and some jurisdictions follow trust law.

Because donor stipulations and laws vary, NFPs must assess the relevant facts and circumstances for their endowment gifts and their relevant laws to determine the classification of endowment funds within the NFP financial reporting model (see paragraph [958-205-45-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-45-2)), including whether some or all of the investment return on endowments is available for spending.

Entities that clearly fall outside this definition include the following: All investor-owned entities Entities that provide dividends, lower costs, or other economic benefits directly and proportionately to their owners, members, or participants, such as mutual insurance entities, credit unions, farm and rural electric cooperatives, and employee benefit plans.") (NFPs). The requirements generally are no more stringent than requirements for business entities. The degree of aggregation and order of presentation of items of assets and liabilities in statements of financial position or of items of revenues and expenses in statements of activities of NFPs, although not specified, generally should be similar to those required or permitted for business entities. Particular formats for a statement of financial position, a statement of activities, or a statement of cash flows, are neither prescribed nor prohibited in part because similar prescriptions and proscriptions do not exist for business entities.

The usefulness of information provided by financial statements of NFPs can be vastly improved if certain basic information is classified in comparable ways. NFPs shall do the following:

1.  a
    
    Report assets and liabilities in reasonably homogeneous groups and sequence or classify them in ways that provide relevant information about their interrelationships, [liquidity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#liquidity "An asset's or liability's nearness to cash. Donor-imposed restrictions may influence the liquidity or cash flow patterns of certain assets. For example, a donor stipulation that donated cash be used to acquire land and buildings limits an entity's ability to take effective actions to respond to unexpected opportunities or needs, such as emergency disaster relief. On the other hand, some donor-imposed restrictions have little or no influence on cash flow patterns or an entity's financial flexibility. For example, a gift of cash with a donor stipulation that it be used for emergency-relief efforts has a negligible impact on an entity if emergency relief is one of its major ongoing programs."), and [financial flexibility](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-flexibility "The ability of an entity to take effective actions to alter amounts and timing of cash flows so it can respond to unexpected needs and opportunities.").
    
2.  b
    
    Classify and report net assets in two groups—[net assets with donor restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets-with-donor-restrictions "The part of net assets of a not-for-profit entity that is subject to donor-imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants).") and [net assets without donor restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets-without-donor-restrictions "The part of net assets of a not-for-profit entity that is not subject to donor-imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants).")—based on the existence or absence of [donor-imposed restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#donor-imposed-restriction "A donor stipulation (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants) that specifies a use for a contributed asset that is more specific than broad limits resulting from the following: The nature of the not-for-profit entity (NFP) The environment in which it operates The purposes specified in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or comparable documents for an unincorporated association. Some donors impose restrictions that are temporary in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be used after a specified date, for particular programs or services, or to acquire buildings or equipment. Other donors impose restrictions that are perpetual in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be maintained in perpetuity. Laws may extend those limits to investment returns from those resources and to other enhancements (diminishments) of those resources. Thus, those laws extend donor-imposed restrictions."). Information about restrictions imposed by donors on the use of contributed assets, including their potential effects on specific assets and on liabilities or classes of net assets, shall be disclosed in accordance with paragraph [958-210-50-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/210/958/#210-958-50-3), because it is helpful in assessing the financial flexibility of an NFP.
    
3.  c
    
    Aggregate items of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses into reasonably homogeneous groups and classify and report them as increases or decreases in net assets with donor restrictions or net assets without donor restrictions.
    
4.  d
    
    Classify and report cash receipts and cash payments as resulting from investing, financing, or operating activities.

Reporting expenses by nature and function is useful in associating expenses with service efforts and accomplishments of NFPs. All NFPs shall report information about all expenses in one location—on the face of the statement of activities, as a schedule in the notes to financial statements, or in a separate financial statement—as required by paragraph [958-720-45-15](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/720/958/#720-958-45-15). The relationship between functional classification and natural classification for all expenses shall be presented in an analysis that disaggregates [functional expense classifications](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#functional-expense-classification "A method of grouping expenses according to the purpose for which costs are incurred. The primary functional classifications of a not-for-profit entity are program services and supporting activities."), such as major classes of [program services](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#program-services "The activities that result in goods and services being distributed to beneficiaries, customers, or members that fulfill the purposes or mission for which the not-for-profit entity (NFP) exists. Those services are the major purpose for and the major output of the NFP and often relate to several major programs.") and [supporting activities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#supporting-activities "Supporting activities are all activities of a not-for-profit entity (NFP) other than program services. Generally, they include the following: Management and general activities Fundraising activities Membership development activities.") by their [natural expense classifications](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#natural-expense-classification "A method of grouping expenses according to the kinds of economic benefits received in incurring those expenses. Examples of natural expense classifications include salaries and wages, employee benefits, professional services, supplies, interest expense, rent, utilities, and depreciation.

Examples of natural expense classifications include salaries and wages, employee benefits, nonemployee professional services, supplies, interest expense, rent, utilities, and depreciation."), such as salaries, rent, electricity, supplies, interest expense, depreciation, awards and grants to others, and professional fees. To the extent that expenses are reported by other than their natural classification (such as salaries included in cost of goods sold or facility rental costs of special events reported as direct benefits to donors), they shall be reported by their natural classification in the functional expense analysis. For example, salaries, wages, and fringe benefits that are included as part of the cost of goods sold on the statement of activities shall be included with other salaries, wages, and fringe benefits in the functional expense analysis. External and direct internal investment expenses that have been netted against investment return shall not be included in the functional expense analysis. Certain items that are typically reported in other comprehensive income of for-profit entities, such as those items listed in paragraph [220-10-45-10A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/220/10/#220-10-45-10A), are considered gains or losses and, like other gains and losses, shall not be included in the functional expense analysis. See Note F in paragraph [958-205-55-21](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-55-21) for an example that illustrates the reporting of expenses by nature and function.

NFPs sometimes present comparative information for a prior year or years only in total rather than by net asset class. Such summarized information may not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with GAAP. If the prior year's financial information is summarized and does not include the minimum information required by this Topic (for example, if the statement of activities does not present revenues, expenses, gains, and losses by net asset class), the nature of the prior-year information shall be described by the use of appropriate titles on the face of the financial statements and in a note to financial statements. The use of appropriate titles includes a phrase such as _with summarized financial information for the year ended June 30, 19PY_, following the title of the statement or column headings that indicate the summarized nature of the information. Labeling the prior-year summarized financial information for comparative purposes only without further disclosure in the notes to financial statements would not constitute the use of an appropriate title.

Some donors impose restrictions that are temporary in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be used after a specified date, for particular programs or services, or to acquire buildings or equipment. Other donors impose restrictions that are perpetual in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be maintained in perpetuity. Laws may extend those limits to investment returns from those resources and to other enhancements (diminishments) of those resources. Thus, those laws extend donor-imposed restrictions.") on a [contribution](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contribution "An unconditional transfer of cash or other assets, as well as unconditional promises to give, to an entity or a reduction, settlement, or cancellation of its liabilities in a voluntary nonreciprocal transfer by another entity acting other than as an owner. Those characteristics distinguish contributions from:Exchange transactions, which are reciprocal transfers in which each party receives and sacrifices approximately commensurate valueInvestments by owners and distributions to owners, which are nonreciprocal transfers between an entity and its ownersOther nonreciprocal transfers, such as impositions of taxes or legal judgments, fines, and thefts, which are not voluntary transfers. In a contribution transaction, the resource provider often receives value indirectly by providing a societal benefit although that benefit is not considered to be of commensurate value. In an exchange transaction, the potential public benefits are secondary to the potential direct benefits to the resource provider. The term contribution revenue is used to apply to transactions that are part of the entity's ongoing major or central activities (revenues), or are peripheral or incidental to the entity (gains). See also Inherent Contribution and Conditional Contribution.") in the period in which the restriction expires. A restriction expires when the stipulated time has elapsed, when the stipulated purpose for which the resource was restricted has been fulfilled, or both. If two or more donor-imposed restrictions that are temporary in nature are imposed on a contribution, the effect of the expiration of those restrictions shall be recognized in the period in which the last remaining restriction has expired.

For example, a gift of a [term endowment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#term-endowment "An endowment fund established to provide income for a specified period.

In determining when the last of two or more donor-imposed restrictions that are temporary in nature has expired, explicit donor stipulations generally carry more weight than implied restrictions. For example, assume in Year 1 that an entity receives an unconditional promise to give that is payable in two equal installments in Years 2 and 3 with an explicit donor stipulation that its gift is to cover purchases of new equipment for the new School of Chemistry, which is expected to be completed in Year 3. That gift would have a purpose restriction (to be used to acquire new equipment to be housed in the new building), and because the unconditional promise is payable in Years 2 and 3, an entity generally would imply a time restriction (see paragraph [958-605-45-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/605/958/#605-958-45-5)). If, however, the building was completed early and opened in Year 2 and all of the needed equipment was purchased in Year 2 and exceeded the promised amount, absent an explicit stipulation to the contrary, it would be reasonable to conclude that those purchases fulfilled the donor restriction on the promised gift. The restriction for the purchase of the equipment expires when the equipment is placed in service in accordance with paragraph [958-205-45-12](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-45-12). In addition, a reclassification of net assets would be reported to reflect the decrease in net assets with donor restrictions and the increase in net assets without donor restrictions in Year 2.

If an expense is incurred for a purpose for which both net assets without donor restrictions and net assets with donor restrictions are available, a donor-imposed restriction is fulfilled to the extent of the expense incurred unless the expense is for a purpose that is directly attributable to another specific external source of revenue. For example, an expense does not fulfill an existing donor restriction if that expense is incurred for a purpose that is directly attributable to and reimbursed by a sponsored exchange agreement or a conditional award from a government agency, private foundation, or others. Explicit time restrictions, such as those discussed in paragraph [958-205-45-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-45-10), and implied time restrictions, such as those discussed in paragraph [958-605-45-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/605/958/#605-958-45-5), make net assets unavailable to support expenses until the time restrictions have expired.

An NFP shall report the net assets of an endowment fund in a statement of financial position within the following two classes of net assets on the basis of the existence or absence of [donor-imposed restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#donor-imposed-restriction "A donor stipulation (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants) that specifies a use for a contributed asset that is more specific than broad limits resulting from the following: The nature of the not-for-profit entity (NFP) The environment in which it operates The purposes specified in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or comparable documents for an unincorporated association. Some donors impose restrictions that are temporary in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be used after a specified date, for particular programs or services, or to acquire buildings or equipment. Other donors impose restrictions that are perpetual in nature, for example, stipulating that resources be maintained in perpetuity. Laws may extend those limits to investment returns from those resources and to other enhancements (diminishments) of those resources. Thus, those laws extend donor-imposed restrictions."):

For example, a board-designated endowment fund, which generally results from an internal designation of net assets without donor restrictions, would thus generally be classified as net assets without donor restrictions.
    

In rare circumstances, a board-designated endowment fund also can include a portion of net assets with donor restrictions. For example, if an NFP is unable to spend donor-restricted contributions in the near term, then the board sometimes considers the long-term investment of these funds.

When classifying a donor-restricted endowment fund, consideration shall be given to both the donor's explicit stipulations and the applicable laws that extend donor restrictions. Investment return generally is considered free of donor restrictions unless its use is limited by a donor-imposed restriction or by law. In the United States, most donor-restricted endowment funds are subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 ([UPMIFA](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#upmifa "Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006")) that extends a donor's restriction to use of the funds, including the investment return, until the funds are appropriated for expenditure by the governing board. Thus, if a donor or law imposes a restriction on the investment return, those returns shall be reported within net assets with donor restrictions until appropriated for expenditure. Conversely, for an endowment fund that is created by a governing board (board-designated endowment fund), assuming no other purpose-type restrictions exist on the use of those funds, that original fund and all investment returns are free of donor restrictions and shall be reported in net assets without donor restrictions.

Donor-restricted endowment funds generally result from a donor's stipulation or by extension of a donor restriction imposed through UPMIFA that limits an NFP's use of an endowment fund. The original gifted amount, any additional gifts to that fund, and any resulting investment returns shall initially be classified as net assets with donor restrictions. Therefore, unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in a donor-restricted endowment fund are donor-restricted assets until they are appropriated for expenditure by the NFP's governing board. Donors may provide specific instructions on spending from a donor-restricted endowment fund or from the components of investment return generated from the fund.

The amount of net assets with donor restrictions in the donor-restricted endowment fund is reduced when the governing board appropriates for expenditure funds from the endowment fund. Upon appropriation for expenditure, the restriction expires to the extent of the amount appropriated as long as all of the time restrictions have lapsed and all of the purpose restrictions have been met. At that time, the appropriated amount is reclassified from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions in accordance with paragraph [958-205-45-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-45-9). However, if purpose restrictions from a donor have not yet been met, those funds shall remain in net assets with donor restrictions until those purpose restrictions have been satisfied.

In the absence of interpretation of the phrase _appropriated for expenditure_ in subsection 4(a) of UPMIFA (see paragraph [958-205-05-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-05-10)) by legal or regulatory authorities (for example, court decisions or interpretations by state attorneys general), for purposes of the guidance in this Subtopic, appropriation for expenditure is deemed to occur upon approval for expenditure, unless approval is for a future period, in which case appropriation is deemed to occur when that period is reached. Approval for expenditure may occur through different means within and across NFPs. For example, expenditures could be approved as part of a formal, annual budget. Expenditures also could be approved during the year as unexpected needs arise (such as for emergency relief efforts).

As discussed in paragraph [958-205-05-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-05-8), some NFPs follow trust law. For donor-restricted endowment funds that are subject to trust law, typically at least, the amount of the original gift(s) and any gains or net appreciation of the fund are not considered to be available for expenditure. Generally, interest, dividends, rents, or other forms of ordinary income are available for spending and are classified as net assets without donor restrictions unless a purpose or other donor restriction exists on use of the investment income.

If an NFP is subject to a donor restriction or applicable laws that its governing board interprets as requiring the maintenance of purchasing power for donor-restricted endowment funds, the NFP shall periodically adjust the disclosed amount that is required to be maintained either by the donor or by law to reflect that interpretation to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment fund in perpetuity. Under those circumstances, unless a donor provides an amount or an index, an NFP shall use the inflation (deflation) index (or indexes) that it deems most relevant for adjusting that amount (for example, the Consumer Price Index or the Higher Education Price Index).

Other sources that may be helpful in that assessment could include discussion that occurred in the legislative committees leading to the law adopted in a particular state, announcements from the state attorney general, a consensus of learned lawyers in the state, or similar information. In the absence of new legislation, clarifying court decisions, additional guidance issued by the state attorney general, or similar developments, the governing board's interpretation of the relevant law shall be consistent from year to year.

This Example provides illustrations of statements of financial position, statements of activities, statements of cash flows, and selected notes to the financial statements for Not-for-Profit Entity A. The terms _statement of financial position_ and _statement of activities_ indicate the content and purpose of the respective statements and serve as possible titles for those statements. Other appropriately descriptive titles may also be used. For example, a statement reporting financial position could be called a balance sheet. Current practice and the statement's purpose suggest, however, that a statement of cash flows only be titled statement of cash flows. These illustrations are intended as examples only; they present only a few of the permissible formats. Other formats or levels of detail may be appropriate for certain circumstances. For example, a schedule of expenses by nature and function is illustrated in the notes to the financial statements but also may be presented on the face of the statement of activities or as a separate statement. Not-for-profit entities (NFPs) are encouraged to provide information in ways that are most relevant and understandable to donors, creditors, and other external users of financial statements. NFPs typically provide comparative financial statements; however, for simplicity, the illustrative statements of activities and statements of cash flows provide information for a single period.

Shading is used to highlight certain basic totals that must be reported in financial statements to comply with the provisions of Subtopics 958-210, 958-220, and 958-230. Together they require not only reporting those certain basic totals but also reporting components of those aggregates; for example, they require reporting information about the gross amounts of items of revenues and expenses and cash receipts and payments.

The following facts and transactions are reflected in the illustrative financial statements in Example 1. The transactions are presented by class of net assets to facilitate locating their effects in the statements and notes. The transactions in (a) through (hh) affect [net assets without donor restrictions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets-without-donor-restrictions "The part of net assets of a not-for-profit entity that is not subject to donor-imposed restrictions (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants).").

The transactions in (hhh), (o) through (r), and (u) affect both classes of net assets.

1.  a
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A invested cash in excess of daily requirements in short-term investment instruments. Interest earned on these investments totaled $850, which is included in the net investment return on the statement of activities. The governing board previously designated a portion of net assets without donor restrictions for long-term investment (quasi-endowment). Those assets earned $5,800, comprising $2,000 of dividends, interest, and rents and $3,800 of realized and unrealized net gains.
    
2.  b
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A received [contributions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contribution "An unconditional transfer of cash or other assets, as well as unconditional promises to give, to an entity or a reduction, settlement, or cancellation of its liabilities in a voluntary nonreciprocal transfer by another entity acting other than as an owner. Those characteristics distinguish contributions from:Exchange transactions, which are reciprocal transfers in which each party receives and sacrifices approximately commensurate valueInvestments by owners and distributions to owners, which are nonreciprocal transfers between an entity and its ownersOther nonreciprocal transfers, such as impositions of taxes or legal judgments, fines, and thefts, which are not voluntary transfers. In a contribution transaction, the resource provider often receives value indirectly by providing a societal benefit although that benefit is not considered to be of commensurate value. In an exchange transaction, the potential public benefits are secondary to the potential direct benefits to the resource provider. The term contribution revenue is used to apply to transactions that are part of the entity's ongoing major or central activities (revenues), or are peripheral or incidental to the entity (gains). See also Inherent Contribution and Conditional Contribution.") without donor restrictions of the following: cash, $5,120; recognizable contributed services, $300; other consumable assets, $1,410; equipment, $140; and [unconditional promises to give](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#unconditional-promise-to-give "A promise to give that depends only on passage of time or demand by the promisee for performance.") to support activities of 20X1, $1,020.
    
3.  c
    
    Equipment with an original cost of $660 and accumulated depreciation of $330 was destroyed in a fire. Insurance proceeds of $250 were received. The equipment was originally purchased with assets without associated donor restrictions.
    
4.  d
    
    All conditions of a prior year's grant of $650 were substantially met. The grant proceeds were originally recorded as a refundable advance.
    
5.  e
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A made a payment of $425 on its prior year unconditional grant to an unrelated agency.
    
6.  f
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A repaid $1,140 of its notes payable. Interest of $32 was incurred and paid on these notes.
    
7.  g
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A repaid $1,000 of its long-term debt. Interest of $350 was incurred and paid on the debt.
    
8.  h
    
    Depreciation amounted to $3,200.
    
9.  hh
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A sold equipment that was fully depreciated for $200.
    
10.  hhh
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A's financial assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts and interest receivable, contributions receivable, assets restricted to investment in land, buildings, and equipment, and long-term investments. The $193,490 of donor-restricted net assets included the net assets resulting from contributions receivable of $1,000, which were without purpose restrictions and were due within one year. The remaining amounts of contributions receivable were either purpose-restricted or due in greater than one year. In addition, amounts made unavailable by the governing board included $36,600 of board-designated long-term investments. The $1,300 liquidity reserve, created in a prior year when the governing board designated net assets without donor restrictions, was included as a reconciling item in Not-for-Profit Entity A's note on liquidity risk and the availability of resources because the intention of the designation was to support unanticipated liquidity needs and not general expenditures.
     
11.  i
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A received contributions with donor restrictions as follows.

13.  j
     
     In addition, a donor transferred cash of $200 to set up an [annuity trust](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#annuity-trust "See Charitable Remainder Trust.") having a related annuity obligation with a present value of $100. Upon the death of the beneficiary, the remaining interest will be used for a donor-restricted purpose.
     
14.  k
     
     In addition, a donor contributed cash of $70 to create a [term endowment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#term-endowment "An endowment fund established to provide income for a specified period. See Endowment Fund."). At the end of 15 years the endowment assets can be used to support Not-for-Profit Entity A's operations.
     
15.  l
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A made payments of $145 to beneficiaries of annuity trust agreements.
     
16.  m
     
     A donor contributed a paid-up life insurance policy with a cash surrender value of $80. Upon the death of the insured, the death benefit must be used to create a [donor-restricted endowment fund](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#donor-restricted-endowment-fund "An endowment fund that is created by a donor stipulation (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants) requiring investment of the gift in perpetuity or for a specified term. Some donors or laws may require that a portion of income, gains, or both be added to the gift and invested subject to similar restrictions. The term does not include a Board-Designated Endowment Fund. See Endowment Fund."). There was no change in the cash surrender value between the date of the gift and the end of the fiscal year.
     
17.  n
     
     A donor contributed cash of $200 to create a donor-restricted endowment fund. The income is restricted to use for Program A activities.
     
18.  o
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A collected [promises to give](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#promise-to-give "A written or oral agreement to contribute cash or other assets to another entity. A promise carries rights and obligations—the recipient of a promise to give has a right to expect that the promised assets will be transferred in the future, and the maker has a social and moral obligation, and generally a legal obligation, to make the promised transfer. A promise to give may be either conditional or unconditional.") of $3,055: $980 of amounts for general purposes, $610 of amounts restricted to future periods, $1,025 of amounts restricted to program purposes, and $440 of amounts for acquisition of land, buildings, and equipment.
     
19.  p
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A utilized all of the $1,410 consumable assets contributed for general purposes, and $350 of the $960 consumable assets contributed for program purposes.
     
20.  q
     
     A trust annuitant died and the $400 [remainder interest](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#remainder-interest "The right to receive all or a portion of the assets of a split-interest agreement remaining at the end of the agreement's term.") became available for the general use of Not-for-Profit Entity A. Management decided to invest the remainder interest in short-term investments. The actuarial gain on death of the annuitant is included in the actuarial loss on annuity obligations.
     
21.  r
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A acquired and placed in service $1,500 of equipment for Program A; net assets with donor restrictions were available at the time the equipment was purchased.
     
22.  s
     
     Net investment return of $18,000 was earned from the pooled donor-restricted endowment. This comprised $12,000 of realized and unrealized net gains and $6,000 of interest and dividends. Additionally, $300 of interest and dividends was earned from separately invested donor-restricted endowment funds and annuity trust assets, which are required to be reinvested. The original endowment gift amount as adjusted to the level required by donor stipulations or by law that extends donor restrictions was $122,337.
     
23.  t
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A reinvested the yield of $120 on a donor-restricted endowment fund that requires income to be added to the original gift until the fund's value is $2,500.
     
24.  u
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A's governing board appropriated for current operations $7,500 of net assets with donor restrictions from the donor-restricted endowment fund. The full amount appropriated was reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions in the current year because the purpose restrictions on $3,000 of the appropriated amount were met in the current year and there were no purpose restrictions on the remaining $4,500.
     
25.  v
     
     Not-for-Profit Entity A follows an enacted version of [UPMIFA](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#upmifa "Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006").
     
26.  w
     
     None of Not-for-Profit Entity A's endowment funds were underwater as of the date of the financial statements.

For example, a donor stipulation that donated cash be used to acquire land and buildings limits an entity's ability to take effective actions to respond to unexpected opportunities or needs, such as emergency disaster relief. On the other hand, some donor-imposed restrictions have little or no influence on cash flow patterns or an entity's financial flexibility. For example, a gift of cash with a donor stipulation that it be used for emergency-relief efforts has a negligible impact on an entity if emergency relief is one of its major ongoing programs.") is presented.

The following illustrates the requirements of Subtopic 958-220. Three formats of statements of activities are presented. To facilitate comparison of the formats, the same level of aggregation is used in each of the statements of activities. The guidance in Subtopic 958-220 permits flexibility to present information in a number of ways as long as the requirements are met. Each format has certain advantages, as follows:

1.  a
    
    Format A reports information in a single column. That format most easily accommodates presentation of multiyear comparative information.
    
2.  b
    
    Format B reports the same information in columnar (or multicolumn) format with a column for each class of net assets. Use of a total column is optional as long as the change in total net assets is presented in accordance with paragraph [958-210-45-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/210/958/#210-958-45-1). That format makes evident that the effects of expirations on donor restrictions result in [reclassification of net assets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reclassification-of-net-assets "Simultaneous increase of one class of net assets and decrease of another. A reclassification of net assets usually results from a donor-imposed restriction (donors include other types of contributors, including makers of certain grants) being satisfied or otherwise lapsing."). It also accommodates presentation of aggregated information about contributions and investment return for the entity as a whole. However, care is needed for labels and headings to ensure that they clearly communicate all columns and subtotals.
    
3.  c
    
    Format C reports information in two statements with summary amounts from a statement of revenues, expenses, and other changes in net assets without donor restrictions (Part 1 of 2) and a statement of changes in net assets (Part 2 of 2). Alternative formats for the statement of changes in net assets—a single-column and a multicolumn or columnar—are illustrated. The two-statement format focuses attention first on changes in net assets without donor restrictions. That format may be preferred by membership organizations and other NFPs that view certain transactions and events, including the receipts of donor-restricted revenues and gains from contributions and investment return, as incidental or insignificant to their daily operations.

The three illustrative statements of activities show items of revenues and gains first, then expenses, then losses; reclassification of net assets, which must be shown separately, is reported with revenues and gains. Those items could be arranged in other ways and other subtotals may be included. For example, the items may be sequenced using any one of the following sequences:

1.  a
    
    Revenues, expenses, gains and losses, and reclassification of net assets shown last
    
2.  b
    
    Certain revenues, less directly related expenses, followed by a subtotal, then other revenues, other expenses, gains and losses, and reclassification of net assets
    
3.  c
    
    Expenses followed by revenues, gains and losses, and the reclassification of net assets.
    

Although in the illustrative statements of activities, expenses are reported by nature in the single-column format example and by function in the multicolumn format example, expenses may be reported in the statement of activities by either natural classification or functional classification or by both.

The following provide additional illustrations of statements of activities:

1.  a
    
    Example 1 in Subtopic 958-220 (see paragraph [958-220-55-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/220/958/#220-958-55-5)) provides an illustration that shows how items may be sequenced to distinguish between operating and nonoperating activities or to make other distinctions, if desired.
    
2.  b
    
    Example 2 in Subtopic 958-220 (see paragraph [958-220-55-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/220/958/#220-958-55-7)) illustrates the display of an appropriately labeled subtotal for change in a class of net assets before the effects of a discontinued operation.
    
3.  c
    
    Example 3 in Subtopic 958-220 (see paragraph [958-220-55-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/220/958/#220-958-55-8)) provides three possible methods of displaying fundraising efforts in the revenue section of the statement of activities if an NFP acts as an [agent](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#agent "An entity that acts for and on behalf of another. Although the term agency has a legal definition, the term is used broadly to encompass not only legal agency, but also the relationships described in Topic 958. A recipient entity acts as an agent for and on behalf of a donor if it receives assets from the donor and agrees to use those assets on behalf of or transfer those assets, the return on investment of those assets, or both to a specified beneficiary. A recipient entity acts as an agent for and on behalf of a beneficiary if it agrees to solicit assets from potential donors specifically for the beneficiary's use and to distribute those assets to the beneficiary. A recipient entity also acts as an agent if a beneficiary can compel the recipient entity to make distributions to it or on its behalf."), [trustee](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#trustee "An entity that has a duty to hold and manage assets for the benefit of a specified beneficiary in accordance with a charitable trust agreement. In some states, not-for-profit entities (NFPs) are organized under trust law rather than as corporations. Those NFPs are not trustees as defined because, under those statutes, they hold assets in trust for the community or some other broadly described group, rather than for a specific beneficiary."), or [intermediary](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#intermediary "Although in general usage the term intermediary encompasses a broad range of situations in which an entity acts between two or more other parties, in this usage, it refers to situations in which a recipient entity acts as a facilitator for the transfer of assets between a potential donor and a potential beneficiary (donee) but is neither an agent or trustee nor a donee and donor.") in raising resources for another.
    
4.  d
    
    Example 1 in Subtopic 958-320 (see paragraph [958-320-55-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/958/#320-958-55-4)) provides an illustration of an NFP that presents:
    
    1.  1
        
        Net investment return
        
    2.  2
        
        Appropriation of funds from the quasi-endowment
        
    3.  3
        
        Appropriation of funds from a donor-restricted endowment fund in which the purpose restrictions on the appropriated amount have been met during the period.

The following illustrates the requirements of Subtopic 958-230. Statements of cash flows are illustrated using both the direct and indirect methods of reporting cash flow from operating activities. An NFP may choose either method of reporting cash flows from operating activities. If the direct method is used, a reconciliation to the indirect method (as illustrated in paragraph [230-10-55-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/230/10/#230-10-55-10)) may be reported but is not required.

-   Investments are carried at fair value, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected within investment return, net, in the statement of activities. Not-for-Profit Entity A invests cash in excess of daily requirements in short-term investments. At June 30, 20X1, $1,400 was invested short term, and during the year short-term investments earned $850. Most long-term investments are held in two investment pools. Pool A is for donor-restricted endowments and the unappropriated net appreciation of those endowments. Pool B is for amounts designated by the board of trustees for long-term investment. Annuity trusts of $4,500, term endowments of $70, and certain donor-restricted endowments of $2,200 are separately invested. Long-term investment activity is reflected in the following table.

-   Laws and regulations allow the governing board to appropriate so much of an endowment fund as is prudent considering the following relevant factors: the duration and preservation of the endowment fund, the purposes of Not-for-Profit Entity A and the endowment fund, general economic conditions, the possible effect of inflation or deflation, the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments, Not-for-Profit Entity A's other resources, and Not-for-Profit Entity A's investment policy. Under Not-for-Profit Entity A's endowment spending policy, 5 percent of the average of the fair value at the end of the previous 3 years is appropriated, which was $7,500 for the year ended June 30, 20X1.

-   The financial statements report certain categories of expenses that are attributable to more than one program or supporting function. Therefore, these expenses require allocation on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. The expenses that are allocated include depreciation, interest, and office and occupancy, which are allocated on a square-footage basis, as well as salaries and benefits, which are allocated on the basis of estimates of time and effort.
    
-   Note G
    
-   The following reflects Not-for-Profit Entity A's financial assets as of the balance sheet date, reduced by amounts not available for general use because of contractual or donor-imposed restrictions within one year of the balance sheet date. Amounts not available include amounts set aside for long-term investing in the quasi-endowment that could be drawn upon if the governing board approves that action. However, amounts already appropriated from either the donor-restricted endowment or quasi-endowment for general expenditure within one year of the balance sheet date have not been subtracted as unavailable.

        "Financial assets, at year-end" " $234,410 " "Less those unavailable for general expenditures within one year, due to: " Contractual or donor-imposed restrictions: Restricted by donor with time or purpose restrictions " (11,940)" Subject to appropriation and satisfaction of donor restrictions " (174,700)" Investments held in annuity trust " (4,500)" Board designations: "Quasi-endowment fund, primarily for long-term investing" " (36,600)" Amounts set aside for liquidity reserve " (1,300)" Financial assets available to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year " $5,370 "
        
-   Not-for-Profit Entity A is substantially supported by restricted contributions. Because a donor's restriction requires resources to be used in a particular manner or in a future period, Not-for-Profit Entity A must maintain sufficient resources to meet those responsibilities to its donors. Thus, financial assets may not be available for general expenditure within one year. As part of Not-for-Profit Entity A's liquidity management, it has a policy to structure its financial assets to be available as its general expenditures, liabilities, and other obligations come due. In addition, Not-for-Profit Entity A invests cash in excess of daily requirements in short-term investments. Occasionally, the board designates a portion of any operating surplus to its liquidity reserve, which was $1,300 as of June 30, 20X1. There is a fund established by the governing board that may be drawn upon in the event of financial distress or an immediate liquidity need resulting from events outside the typical life cycle of converting financial assets to cash or settling financial liabilities. In the event of an unanticipated liquidity need, Not-for-Profit Entity A also could draw upon $10,000 of available lines of credit (as further discussed in Note XX) or its quasi-endowment fund.
    
-   Note H
    
-   The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

-   Assets restricted to investment in land, buildings, and equipment on the statement of financial position include restricted cash received with a donor-imposed restriction that limits use of that cash to long-term purposes.

This Example makes all of the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    NFP B is issuing a full set of financial statements for both the current fiscal year, 200Y, and the previous fiscal year, 200X.NFP B is required to disclose the information in paragraph [958-205-50-1B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-50-1B) for each period for which it presents financial statements; however, for simplicity, the disclosures provide information for a single period, 200Y.
    
2.  b
    
    NFP B has a sizable endowment.
    
3.  c
    
    Before 200Y, an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 became effective for the State to whose law NFP B is subject.
    
4.  d
    
    [Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2016-14/).

NFP B's disclosure of its endowment follows.

-   NOTE X: ENDOWMENT
    
-   NFP B's endowment consists of approximately 100 individual funds established for a variety of purposes. Its endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

NFP B's disclosure of its interpretation of the law or laws that underlie NFP B's net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds follows as required by paragraph [958-205-50-1B(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-50-1B).

-   Interpretation of Relevant Law
    
-   NFP B is subject to the State Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (SPMIFA) and, thus, classifies amounts in its donor-restricted endowment funds as net assets with donor restrictions because those net assets are time restricted until the Board of Trustees appropriates such amounts for expenditure. Most of those net assets also are subject to purpose restrictions that must be met before reclassifying those net assets to net assets without donor restrictions. The Board of Trustees of NFP B has interpreted SPMIFA as not requiring the maintenance of purchasing power of the original gift amount contributed to an endowment fund, unless a donor stipulates the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, when reviewing its donor-restricted endowment funds, NFP B considers a fund to be underwater if the fair value of the fund is less than the sum of (a) the original value of initial and subsequent gift amounts donated to the fund and (b) any accumulations to the fund that are required to be maintained in perpetuity in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument. NFP B has interpreted SPMIFA to permit spending from underwater funds in accordance with the prudent measures required under the law.Additionally, in accordance with SPMIFA, NFP B considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds:
    
-   (1) The duration and preservation of the fund
    
-   (2) The purposes of the organization and the donor-restricted endowment fund
    
-   (3) General economic conditions
    
-   (4) The possible effect of inflation and deflation
    
-   (5) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments
    
-   (6) Other resources of the organization
    
-   (7) The investment policies of NFP B.

NFP B's disclosure under paragraph [958-205-50-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-50-2) follows.

-   Underwater Endowment Funds
    
-   From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor or SPMIFA requires NFP B to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. Deficiencies of this nature exist in 3 donor-restricted endowment funds, which together have an original gift value of $3,500, a current fair value of $3,300, and a deficiency of $200 as of June 30, 200Y. These deficiencies resulted from unfavorable market fluctuations that occurred shortly after the investment of new contributions for donor-restricted endowment funds and continued appropriation for certain programs that was deemed prudent by the Board of Trustees.

NFP B's disclosure under paragraph [958-205-50-1B(c)(1)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-50-1B) follows.

-   Return Objectives and Risk Parameters
    
-   NFP B has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the organization must hold in perpetuity or for a donor-specified period(s) as well as board-designated funds. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Trustees, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce results that exceed the price and yield results of the S&P 500 index while assuming a moderate level of investment risk. NFP B expects its endowment funds, over time, to provide an average rate of return of approximately 8 percent annually. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount.

NFP B's disclosure under paragraph [958-205-50-1B(c)(3)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-50-1B) follows.

-   Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives
    
-   To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, NFP B relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). NFP B targets a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints.

NFP B's disclosure under paragraph [958-205-50-1B(b) and (c)(2)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/958/#205-958-50-1B) follows.

-   Spending Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to Spending Policy
    
-   NFP B has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year 5 percent of its endowment fund's average fair value over the prior 12 quarters through the calendar year-end preceding the fiscal year in which the distribution is planned. In establishing this policy, NFP B considered the long-term expected return on its endowment. Accordingly, over the long term, NFP B expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment to grow at an average of 3 percent annually. NFP B has a policy that permits spending from underwater endowment funds depending on the degree to which the fund is underwater, unless otherwise precluded by donor intent or relevant laws and regulations. The governing board appropriated for expenditure $75 from underwater endowment funds during the year, which represents 3 percent of the 12-quarter moving average, not the 5 percent it generally draws from its endowment.
