SchD_P04_S00_L02bSchedule D, Part IV, Line 2bThe College maintains custodial or "pass through" accounts for Federal student loans, Pell grant and state grants. Funds are held in these accounts until distributed to individual students. The College also maintains custodial accounts for student government and student ministry groups and activities.
SchD_P05_S00_L04Schedule D, Part V, Line 4The intended use of endowment funds is driven by donor restrictions on our endowments. Approximately 62% of appropriated revenues this year were in scholarship awards. 26% of revenues supported general activities and physical plant. The remaining 12% was allocated to instructional activities and academic support programs. Distributions of income are made using a total return method. We use a spending rate of 5% of the 3 year rolling average of the fair market value of the investments.
SchD_P10_S00_L00Schedule D, Part XFIN 48 Footnote: The College is recognized as an organization exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, certain activities of exempt organizations, to the extent profitable, may be subject to federal and state taxation as unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements. The College recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The College has applied this more-likely-than-not threshold to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open and determined there were no material unrecognized tax benefits as of that date. In addition there have been no material changes in unrecognized benefits since adoption. It is the College's policy to record estimated interest and penalties (if any) as part of management and general expense. Management believes that the College's income tax returns for fiscal years 2006 and prior are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities.
SchD_P11_S00_L08Schedule D, Part XI, Line 8Included in this figure is the change in value of interest rate swap agreements of (1,239,551) and the change in split interest agreements of (579,031).
SchD_P12_S00_L02dSchedule D, Part XII, Line 2dThis figure includes the FWS apportionment budget allocation of 253,678 included in income on the financial statements, the golf tournament expenses of 48,410 included in expense on the financial statements and the loss on disposal of a leasehold improvement of 780,157.

Because of this, we believe that the publicity requirement is satisfied by complying with section 4.02. Because we are an interdenominational Christian college, our market appeal is to a smaller segment of the general population. Given the technology available today, we have invested in our web site as the way to reach the most students.

ExplanationGordon College awards three types of grants/scholarships: merit scholarships, need-based grants and endowment funded restricted scholarships. Merit scholarships are awarded based on the incoming student's academic criteria determined by the Admissions Office. These scholarships are renewed annually by verification of the Registrar's Office that cumulative GPA requirements are met. Need-based grants are awarded based on the student's determined financial need. We determine financial need using information provided by the FAFSA, with the addition of home equity and business value. We practice level-funding of the need-based grants to future years unless there is a significant change in determined financial need. Endowment funded restricted scholarships are awarded based on criteria established by donors. The criteria information on specific eligible students is provided by the Registrar, Admissions and Financial Aid Offices. Students are evaluated annually to verify they continue to meet the donor criteria for an endowment award.Explanation

SchJ_P01_S00_L01aSchedule J, Part I, Line 1aTravel for companions: Occasionally spouses of officers accompany them on business trips for the College. In order to be treated as a working condition fringe benefit, the College requires substantiation of the trip as a bonafide business expense for both the officer and the spouse. If there is no business purpose for the spouse, the spousal travel is treated as taxable income to the officer or the officer reimburses the College. One officer incurred spousal travel and all the travel was treated as nontaxable. Housing allowance or residence for personal use: One listed person received this benefit. The President is required to live in on-campus housing for hosting purposes and 24/7 availability to the campus community. Because of this requirement, it is excluded from wages under Section 119 of the IRS code. Health or social club dues or initiation fees: Two listed persons received this benefit. The President is required by the Board to have a Harvard Club membership provided by the College. It was used for business purposes only and none of it was treated as taxable compensation. The Vice President of Development is required to have a College provided membership to the Myopia Hunt Club. A portion of the value was treated as taxable compensation for personal use of a working condition fringe benefit.
SchJ_P01_S00_L04Schedule J, Part I, Line 4Some officers and highly compensated employees participated in a 457(f) deferred compensation plan. Each participant must be judged by the executive committee of the board to have attained goals at the end of the fiscal year and funds must be available in the College budget in order for a deposit to be made for the participant in the 457(f) plan. After funds are deposited, there is a substantial risk of forfeiture for a 3 year period based on continued employment by the participant. After the 3 year period, funds are disbursed to the participant.
