| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2 | GENERAL NARRATIVE: THE BROUDE TRUST FOR THE PUBLICATION OF MUSICOLOGICAL EDITIONS WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING AVAILABLE SCHOLARLY EDITIONS OF A QUALITY NOT POSSIBLE UNDER THE NORMAL CONDITIONS OF COMMERCIAL PUBLISHING. THE PREPARATION OF THESE EDITIONS REQUIRES EXPERTISE AND ENTAILS EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND EDITORIAL WORK, AND MUCH OF THE MUSIC THAT THESE EDITIONS PRESENT FROM THE FIFTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SEVENTEENTH, EIGHTEENTH, AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES) DOES NOT COMMAND A MARKET LARGE ENOUGH TO WARRANT PUBLICATION ON PURELY ECONOMIC GROUNDS. THE INCOME OF TRUST PUBLICATIONS HAS COME ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM SALES OF THE PUBLICATIONS THAT IT WAS FOUNDED TO PRODUCE AND FOR WHICH IT WAS GRANTED TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. THE TRUST HAS NOT SOLICITED CONTRIBUTIONS, ALTHOUGH IT DOES OCCASIONALLY RECEIVE AN UNSOLICITED CASH GIFT FROM SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO SUPPORT ITS ACTIVITIES; THE TRUST RECEIVED NO SUCH GIFTS FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS RETURN. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTIONS A AND B: THE TRUST IS A SMALL ORGANIZATION, AND ITS BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE TRUSTEE, RONALD BROUDE, WHO DEVOTES TO ITS ACTIVITIES AN AVERAGE OF 20 HOURS PER WEEK, MOSTLY TO EDITORIAL MATTERS; HE IS NOT PAID FOR THESE SERVICES, NOR IS HE REIMBURSED BY THE TRUST FOR ANY EXPENSES HE MAY INCUR. THERE IS A CO-TRUSTEE, CHRISTOPH WOLFF, WHO, WHEN.REQUESTED, PROVIDES ADVICE, AND WH0 WOULD STEP IN TO MANAGE A TRANSITION SHOULD THE TRUSTEE DIE OR BECOME INCAPACITATED; THE CO-TRUSTEE IS NOT PAID FOR HIS SERVICES AS CO-TRUSTEE, NOR IS HE REIMBURSED BY THE TRUST FOR ANY EXPENSES HE MAY INCUR IN RENDERING THESE SERVICES. THE CO-TRUSTEE HAS NO FORMAL VOTING RIGHTS, ALTHOUGH HIS ADVICE IS REGULARLY SOUGHT. THERE IS NO BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR SIMILAR BODY OVERSEEING THE TRUSTEE'S MANAGEMENT, NOR DOES THE TRUST HAVE ANY. MEMBERS OR SHAREHOLDERS. QUESTIONS RELATING TO OVERSIGHT OF THE TRUSTEE'S MANAGEMENT (FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A) AND QUESTIONS REGARDING GOVERNING POLICIES (FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B) ARE THEREFORE NOT APPLICABLE. THE TRUST HAS PUBLISHED EDITIONS PREPARED BY MUSICOLOGISTS WHO ARE MOSTLY FACULTY MEMBERS, CURRENT OR RETIRED, AT COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES. MOST OF THESE MUSICOLOGISTS RECEIVE ROYALTIES FOR SALES OF COPIES OF THE EDITIONS THEY HAVE PREPARED; A FEW HAVE SOLD OUTRIGHT TO THE TRUST ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS IN THEIR EDITIONS, AND SO THEY RECEIVE NO ROYALTIES ON SALES OF COPIES. THE WORK OF THESE MUSICOLOGISTS IS READ AND CORRECTED BY OTHER MUSICOLOGISTS, WHO EITHER RECEIVE A SHARE OF ROYALTIES ON COPIES SOLD OR WHO ARE PAID OUTRIGHT FOR THEIR SERVICES. AS THESE EDITIONS ARE ESSENTIALLY ACADEMIC UNDERTAKINGS, MOST OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, AS IS CUSTOMARY IN SUCH SITUATIONS, EXPECT AND RECEIVE REMUNERATION WELL BELOW THE MARKET VALUE OF THEIR SERVICES; SOME VOLUNTEER THEIR SERVICES FOR NO REMUNERATION AT ALL. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 3 | RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: THE TRUSTEE AND CO-TRUSTEE, ADVANCING IN YEARS AND SEEKING TO PRESERVE THEIR OWN WORK OF AND THE WORK OF THE EDITORS WHO HAVE PREPARED THE TRUST'S EDITIONS, CONCLUDED THAT THE BEST MEANS FOR SO DOING WOULD BE TO DONATE THE TRUST'S ASSETS TO AN ORGANIZATION WITH A COMMITMENT TO MUSICOLOGY CONSISTENT WITH THEIR OWN UNDER CONDITIONS THAT WOULD MAKE THE TRUST'S PUBLICATIONS ACCESSIBLE TO PERFORMERS, RESEARCHERS, AND STUDENTS. THEY IDENTIFIED THE AMERICAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY (THE AMS) AS SUCH AN ORGANIZATION, AND OPENED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SOCIETY IN 2021. THE AMS BOARD VOTED TO ACCEPT THE GIFT, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OUTLINED BELOW. ACCORDINGLY, BY AN INSTRUMENT OF GIFT DATED DECEMBER 29, 2022, THE TRUSTEES TRANSFERRED TO THE AMS ALL OF ITS ASSETS EXCEPT 5000.00 IN CASH; THE ASSETS TRANSFERRED INCLUDED CASH, INVENTORY, ALL RIGHTS IN AND TO ALL OF THE TRUST'S PUBLICATIONS, AND ALL RIGHTS IN AND TO ALL OF THE TRUST'S PROJECTS THAT ARE IN ADVANCED STAGES OF PREPARATION. THE AMS REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF ACCEPTING THE GIFT THAT THE C. F. PETERS CORPORATION, WHICH HAS BEEN PROVIDING DISTRIBUTION SERVICES TO THE TRUST, WOULD PROVIDE SIMILAR SERVICES TO THE AMS; DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INCLUDE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT, ORDER FULFILLMENT, CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES, AND REPORTING OF ROYALTIES FOR TAX PURPOSES. PETERS AND THE AMS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT FOR PETERS TO PROVIDE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES IN DECEMBER OF 2022. THE TRUST REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF THE GIFT THAT THE AMS SET ASIDE FUNDS FOR THE COMPLETION OF PROJECTS IN PROCESS, AND THAT THE AMS MAKE CERTAIN OF THE TRUST'S PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE TO AMS MEMBERS ONLINE, WITH THOSE TRUST PUBLICATIONS NOT PLACED ONLINE INITIALLY TO BE PLACED ONLINE AS THEY GO OUT OF PRINT. THE AMS HAS FULFILLED THE FIRST CONDITION AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF FULFILLING THE SECOND. IN FULFILLMENT OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE GIFT, THE TRUSTEES HAVE TRANSFERRED TO THE AMS A TOTAL OF 116,268.00 IN CASH AND PHYSICAL INVENTORY HAVING A BOOK VALUE OF 219,939.00. AS OF 31 MARCH 2023, THE TRUSTEES RETAIN ONLY THE SUM OF 5000.00 TO DEFRAY THE COST OF DISSOLVING THE TRUST (AND THE AMS HAS AGREED TO PAY A MAXIMUM OF 5000.00 TO DEFRAY ANY SUCH COSTS IN EXCESS OF 5000.00). BECAUSE UNDER THE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN PETERS AND THE AMS, THE AMS IS CHARGED FOR THE STORAGE OF SOME OF ITS INVENTORY, THE TRUST (AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE AMS) INSTRUCTED PETERS TO DESTROY ALL COPIES OF TRUST PUBLICATIONS NOT LIKELY TO BE SOLD WITHIN TEN YEARS; THIS WAS DONE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2022; THE VALUE OF THE COPIES DESTROYED WAS 25,172.00. |
