| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 | IN 2018, NEXT LAUNCHED A CORPORATE EMPLOYMENT CONSULTING GROUP WHICH WORKS WITH COMPANIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT CUSTOMIZED DIVERSITY INCLUSION PROGRAMS THAT ENHANCE THE COMPANIES ABILITY TO RECRUIT, HIRE AND RETAIN EMPLOYEES WITH AUTISM AND OTHER DISABILITIES. SINCE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES THIS IS A FEE-FOR-SERVICE PROGRAM THAT PARTIALLY COVERS THE COST OF THE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 | LAURA SLATKIN, BOARD CHAIR & CO-FOUNDER AND HARRY SLATKIN, BOARD MEMBER & CO-FOUNDER SHARE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. ILENE LAINER, PRESIDENT & CO-FOUNDER AND STEVEN J. KANTOR, TREASURER SHARE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. OPHELIA RUDIN, BOARD MEMBER AND WILLIAM RUDIN, BOARD MEMBER SHARE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.

ROBERT SMIGEL, BOARD MEMBER AND BELLANCA RUTTER SMIGEL, BOARD MEMBER SHARE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. JON STEWART, BOARD MEMBER AND TRACEY STEWART, BOARD MEMBER SHARE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE COMPLETE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND IS MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | NEXT HAS A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHICH APPLIES TO ALL DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF NEXT. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS ARE ANNUALLY REQUIRED TO CONFIRM COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY. IF THE PRESIDENT OF NEXT BECOMES AWARE OF ANY FACTS SUGGESTING THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS THEY ARE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, OR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, OF SUCH CONFLICT AND THE BOARD, OR AUDIT COMMITTEE, UPON THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL, WILL DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH CONFLICT EXISTS AND WHAT ACTIONS, IF ANY, TO TAKE IN REGARD TO SUCH CONFLICT. ANY DIRECTOR DETERMINED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON A MATTER PRESENTED TO THE BOARD WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY DISCUSSIONS OR DELIBERATIONS REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER WHERE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO VOTE ON SUCH MATTER. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY THE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF INDEPENDENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL REVIEW, INCLUDING COMPENSATION REVIEW. THE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE PERIODICALLY REVIEWS FORMS 990 OF OTHER SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS, OR PUBLISHED COMPENSATION REPORTS, TO COMPARE QUALIFIED PERSONS IN SIMILARLY SITUATED POSITIONS. THESE DISCUSSIONS ARE DOCUMENTED. THE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE DETERMINE A RAISE POOL THAT MAY BE DISBURSED BY THE PRESIDENT WITHIN GUIDELINES PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE OVERSEES SUCH DECISIONS MADE BY THE PRESIDENT. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST FOR THE SAME PERIODS OF DISCLOSURE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6104(D) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL MEASURES NEXT HOLDS A LARGE TELEVISED NATIONAL FUNDRAISING EVENT, NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS, EVERY TWO OR THREE YEARS. FUNDRAISING EXPENSES SURGE DURING THE YEARS IN WHICH NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS IS HELD BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUPPORTING THE NATIONALLY TELEVISED EVENT. HOWEVER, GRANTS THAT ARE PROVIDED FROM THE FUNDS RAISED THROUGH NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS, AND ARE CONSIDERED PROGRAM EXPENSES, ARE AWARDED AT LEAST SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE EVENT AND UP TO THE TIME THE NEXT NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS IS HELD, WHICH MAY BE THREE (3) YEARS. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS RESULTS IN DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM EXPENSES TO TOTAL EXPENSES YEAR-TO-YEAR. IN YEARS WHEN NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS IS HELD, THE PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM SERVICES TO TOTAL EXPENSES IS MUCH LOWER THAN IN YEARS WHEN THE EVENT NOT IS HELD. NEXT ANTICIPATES A SIMILAR TREND TO CONTINUE FOR AS LONG AS WE HOLD A TELEVISED, NATIONAL, COMEDY EVENT. THIS TREND IS MOST DRAMATIC WHEN EVENTS OCCUR THREE CALENDAR YEARS APART. |
