Part IV, Line 2b:The organization is the trustee of resident funds and has fiduciary responsibility for the administration and distribution of these funds for residents of the Organization.
Part V, Line 4:The balance of the Endowment fund consists of a HUD capital advance mortgage note. The advance bears no interest, and repayment is not required as long as the housing remains available for very-low income elderly persons in accordance with regulatory agreements and regulations for a period of 40 years. Managament believes that the possibility that repayment will occur is remote and that the treatment of the Capital Advance as a temporarily restricted contribution related to the acquisition of a long-lived asset and will continue to report it as such as long as the use of the housing project remains restricted by HUD.
