Accounting standards for the classification and disclosure of endowments of not-for-profit organizations provide guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 (UPMIFA) and require additional disclosures about an organization's endowment funds.

The state of New Jersey has adopted UPMIFA. The following disclosures are made as required by accounting standards. The endowment of the Diocese of Trenton consists of 15 donor-restricted endowment funds established for various purposes.

Loss Payment Fund: The Diocese has a modified protected liability and casualty, workers' compensation and property self-insurance program for affiliated organizations described as a "loss payment fund." Under this program, the Diocese has obtained insurance coverage of $40,000,000 for most liability and casualty claims with a deductible of $250,000 per occurrence during the policy period. The Diocese has insurance coverage for property claims to a blanket limit of $75,000,000 per occurrence, with a deductible of $500,000 per occurrence. Actual claims not covered by insurance are funded by the affiliated organizations' contributions and the assets of the loss payment fund.

The Diocese is involved in several pending legal matters. In the opinion of the Diocese's management, the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the 14 Diocese's financial position. To the extent a liability has been determined, a reserve has been 14 accrued at June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Medical Fund: The Diocese's medical benefit plan provides reimbursement for the cost of medical expenses, subject to various limits, for Diocesan clergy and lay employees. The Diocese has obtained insurance coverage for these medical costs. The plan also includes a provision for life insurance benefits of $2,000, plus modest disability and dental benefits for Diocesan clergy.

Additionally, the plan provides for Long-Term Disability for lay employees. The benefits paid by these funds and the insurance premiums are funded by assessments to the participating organizations.

Revenues and expenses for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and deficit in net assets at June 30, 2016 and 2015 for the loss payment fund and the medical fund, which include the other post-retirement benefit obligation costs (see Note 15), are as follows: Loss Payment

Management has interpreted New Jersey UPMIFA as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Diocese classifies as permanently 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 that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Diocese in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by New Jersey UPMIFA.

To satisfy its long-term rate of return objectives, the Diocese 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). At a minimum, the investment performance of endowment assets should achieve an annual return of at least inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price Index [CPI]) plus four (4) percentage points. This should be averaged over rolling three-year periods.
