Non-Cash Asset Market Overview
Source: Spectrum Group and Reality Times, June 2004
• More than half of affluent investors’ assets are held in non-cash assets; cash only represents 3-5%
• Aggregate stock market value is approximately $14 trillion; non-cash market estimates are $40-60 trillion
• Of the $300 billion in donations last year, non-cash assets are estimated to be 3% or less
4
Non-Cash Asset Types
• Real Estate – Residential vs. Commercial, Encumbered vs.
Unencumbered, Partial vs. Entire Interests
• Privately-Held Interests– C-Corp and S-Corp Stock, Limited Partnerships or LLCs
• Restricted Stock• Tangible Personal Property – Art/Collectibles (New PPA
Rules)• Weird Stuff
– Quarterhorse, Seat on New York Mercantile Exchange, Gold Bullion, Euro-Denominated Bond, Beach House in Mexican Land Trust, Paris Condo, UPREIT Partnership Units, Patents, Timber Deeds, Clay Mineral Rights, Book Royalties, Oil & Gas Interests, Hedge Fund Carried Interest, NFL Team, and finally, Dead Animals

A 5-Minute Non-Cash Seminar
• Cash BAD – Everything else GOOD!
• Capital gain property receives a fair market value deduction AND an elimination of capital gains tax if donated to a public charity
• If donated to a private foundation, donations of non-cash assets during life only receive an adjusted cost basis deduction
• Public charities do not have a 5% payout requirement – private foundations do
• Donor advised funds are especially attractive for multiple grants
6
Appraisal Considerations
• Appraisal may occur 60 days prior to gift at the earliest, and the latest being the time the donor files the tax return – Donor completes Form 8283 and Charity completes Form 8282
• Pension Protection Act Key Changes– Extended Form 8282 to 3 years, Tightened Definition
of Substantial and Gross Valuation Misstatement, Increased Appraisal Penalties and Definition of a Qualified Appraiser
– Tightened Deductions Related to Partial Interests in Tangible Personal Property

• Environmental Issues (Due Diligence, Remediation, Disclosures, Deep Pockets)
• Management Issues (Holding Period, Insurance Changes, Contract Changes, Appropriate Filings and Paperwork)
