• The net assets classified as temporarily restricted due to a debt-
covenant should be classified as unrestricted. Under FASB
standards only those assets with donor imposed restrictions can be
classified as temporarily restricted.

designation should be classified as unrestricted. A board
designation such as this is considered a quasi-endowment. Because
the board has the ability to reverse any action in takes, the amount
designated is not considered to be permanently restricted.
