PART X, LINE 2 - FIN 48:   The Center is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, although certain of its consolidated entities are for profit organizations which would be subject to income taxes. There were no federal or state income tax expenses from consolidated entities as of December 31, 2011. U.S. GAAP requires entities to evaluate, measure, recognize and disclose any uncertain income tax positions taken on their income tax returns. Management has evaluated the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and believes that there are no uncertain tax positions. The Center and its consolidated subsidiaries recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of any income tax provision. There was no income tax related interest and penalties recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011. The income tax returns of the Science Center and its consolidated for-profit subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 (June 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010 for University Park Associates I, LLC, and University Park Associates II, LLC and June 30, 2008 for University Park Associates III, LLC) are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other various taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION: INCUBATOR At the heart of the Science Center lies the Port Business Incubator, which houses and facilitates the growth of early-stage technology companies. Since the Science Center's inception in 1963, graduate organizations and current residents of the incubator have created more than 15,000 jobs that remain in the Greater Philadelphia region today and contribute more than $9 billion to the regional economy annually. In furthering their advancement of science, the incubator companies' work encompasses innovations in therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, research tools, bioinformatics, nanotechnology, information technology, and clean energy technology. The Port provides facilitated access to an innovation environment of advisory services, business services, academic resources and expertise, and a 30,000 square foot business incubator facility. Port companies benefit from the Science Center's business advisory community of proven entrepreneurial mentors, and the Science Center's Scientific Advisory Committee comprising the senior research officers at the region's prestigious research institutions. Companies are housed within a plug-and-play, state-of-the-art office and laboratory facility able to accommodate up to 150 personnel. Residents have access to educational and networking events, broadband connectivity, shared laboratory and office equipment, significant tax advantages, and shared conference facilities. Port Managers support the incubation process, assisting residents with individual growth needs and facilitating their "graduation" from the Port. Typical residents have seed-stage to Series A capital and 1-25 employees. The incubators flexibly accommodate the changing needs of emerging, fast-growth companies. The Science Center recently completed a 3,500 square foot expansion of the incubator facility located at 3711 Market Street in Philadelphia. The goal of this expansion was to increase the flexibility of the incubator offerings for start-up companies navigating a challenging and rapidly changing economic environment. The expansion includes the Port's first co-working office space for entrepreneurs who may not yet be ready for dedicated office or laboratory space. The co-working space provides a collegial environment for nascent companies. The expansion also includes a suite of single-person laboratories. With this expansion, the Port is able to offer footprints from virtual through single desk, to single, double or triple occupancy office space, and a range of lab space to accommodate 1 - 16 researchers. This makes the Port one of the most flexible incubator facilities in the region, able to accommodate companies throughout a significant portion of their early growth phase. Managed space and amenities, together with access to an influential network of academics, entrepreneurs and investors, offer a "big company" lifestyle to small companies, many of which would be unable to access the office space and amenities without Science Center support.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION: BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY NETWORKS The Science Center supports the community through a variety of programs and partnerships, including Breadboard/EKG, Quorum, the Regional Affinity Incubation Network (RAIN), STEM education initiatives, and the University City Keystone Innovation Zone (UCKIZ). Launched in 2010, Breadboard is a hybrid program at the University City Science Center that explores intersections between contemporary art, technology and science. Breadboard programs fall into three distinct categories: EKG exhibition series, Breadboard Artist Residency Program and a Youth and Community Outreach Program. Through a unique partnership with NextFab Studio, Breadboard engages individuals and communities at all levels of interest and experience. NextFab Studio is a rapid prototyping workspace and teaching facility featuring 21st Century tools and technology that include 3-D printers, computer operated equipment such as laser cutters and milling machines, digital embroiders,large-scale color and vinyl printers, computer graphics, and video and sound editing labs. The objective of Breadboard programming is to use art and creativity as a platform for introducing new creative tools and technology to the general public through hands-on collaborative workshop events and activities. Breadboard also manages a public art space known as EKG (Esther Klein Gallery). EKG exhibits and projects explore intersections between art, design, science and technology. The primary aim of EKG is to examine new art and contemporary arts practices that are influenced by technology, and to generate public discourse through the exhibition of creative works that comment on life and our environment in a digital age. Quorum, an effort to support long-term collaborative regional economic development, is a Science Center initiative that unites the region's entrepreneurship and innovation communities through a central, neutral gathering space at 3711 Market Street and related programs throughout the region. Quorum strengthens the region's culture of technology-based economic development by offering programs and facilitating connections between entrepreneurs, innovators, funders and resource organizations, with the ultimate goal of innovation, company formation and job creation. RAIN: The Science Center launched a network of business parks in the region in 2009. The Regional Affinity Incubation Network (RAIN) brings together research parks, technology-based incubators and other supporting organizations involved in technology-led economic development initiatives. STEM Education: In addition to its Breadboard program, the Science Center works closely with local nonprofits to improve science education in city schools and classrooms. Partners include iPraxis, which focuses on attracting and involving people of color in science, and Philadelphia Academies, Inc. In the summer of 2011, the Science Center and its resident companies hosted six summer interns from Philadelphia Academies' Biotechnology Academy. The Science Center is one of the founding partners and the fiscal agent of the University City Keystone Innovation Zone (UC KIZ), a partnership designed to build knowledge-based economies and cultivate entrepreneurship in Pennsylvania. The UC KIZ has a concentration of resources for supporting and growing life sciences companies. Home to numerous life sciences startups, several major universities, non-profit research institutes, and research and teaching hospitals, the UC KIZ community has the infrastructure and resources that growing life sciences companies need.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION: OWNED REAL ESTATE The Science Center campus encompasses 17 acres, 15 buildings, and 2 million square feet within a four-block area that is home to 100 companies employing 8,000 people. Currently, the Science Center owns and manages approximately one million square feet of space in seven buildings, including two incubators for fledgling businesses. In keeping with the agility of entrepreneurs, short-term leases are available, with opportunities for growth.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY QED Proof of Concept Program In early 2009 the Science Center launched the nation's first multi-institutional proof-of-concept program to fund and promote the development and commercialization of early-stage life science technologies at academic research institutions. This program - named "QED", after the Latin phrase Quod Erat Demonstrandum ("proven as demonstrated") - provides funding and business development support for academic researchers throughout Greater Philadelphia by supporting early-stage life science R&D with high commercial potential. As angel investors, venture capitalists, and established companies increasingly invest in later-stage enterprises, finding early-stage funding to accelerate innovation has become more difficult. QED assists promising researchers to bridge the gap - often referred to as the "valley of death" - between publicly-funded laboratory research and privately-funded technology commercialization and product development. QED leverages the Science Center's relationships with universities, government agencies, and public and private companies, driving technology transfer and new business formation, advancing entrepreneurship, and encouraging innovation, competitiveness, and knowledge-base retention and expansion. The program's key goal is to marshal existing regional resources to substantially reduce investment risk in early-stage life science R&D projects, preparing them for established life science companies and private investors, without adding to the proliferation of sub-scale, undercapitalized ventures already in the market. By engaging the region's academic institutions, research scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry stakeholders in early-stage commercialization, the Science Center will ultimately increase the pace and value of technology transfer in the region. QED goes beyond a typical gap fund in two primary respects that can be applied to any research area. First, it adds commercial guidance as a critical, early component. This guidance takes the form of business advisors, specialist consultants (e.g. patent lawyers, regulatory experts, and medical reimbursement consultants), technical and clinical review of technology by outside reviewers, and market-based screening and selection. Second, it promotes competitive participation by a large number of regional research institutions, incorporating transparent processes and identifying projects with the greatest commercial potential. Currently, a total of 19 research institutions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware participate in the program. Projects are reviewed, prioritized, and recommended for funding by a Selection Team comprised exclusively of professionals who work in venture capital and industry, representing numerous regional and national firms and companies. Participating academic institutions, investors, and companies are listed at http://sciencecenter.org/programs/qed. Each project selected for funding receives up to $200,000 over 12 months, with half of the funding provided by the Science Center and the other half by the scientist's host institution. Continued funding during the project implementation phase is conditional upon satisfying the objectives outlined in the R&D plan, according to milestones and schedule. The QED staff meets regularly with the project teams, and the investigators provide periodic progress updates on research and commercialization activities. During this phase, the QED staff also assists with the identification and pursuit of appropriate sources of follow-on funding for successful projects that exit the program.
