Information Services - The American Chemical Society (ACS) achieves its goal as an indispensable professional and information resource for members and other chemistry-related practitioners through two publishing divisions, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) and ACS Publications. These divisions provide significant services to ACS members and the global scientific community with accurate, timely, and authoritative chemical and related scientific information. As the only organization in the world solely dedicated to finding, collecting and organizing all publicly disclosed chemical information, CAS serves chemical, pharmaceutical and bio-medical companies as well as universities, government organizations and patent offices around the world with the most comprehensive and authoritative sources of curated and quality controlled chemical and related information. By combining its databases with advanced search and analysis technologies(e.g., SciFinder and STN), CAS delivers the most current, complete, secure and interlinked digital information environment for scientific discovery. In 2012, CAS continued extraordinary database growth, analyzing more than 1.4 million patents, journal articles and other disclosed research sources, for a new total of more than 36 million records. Updated daily, the CAS reaction database saw even greater gains, with growth exceeding 9.1 million new reactions. The CAS REGISTRY(SM) is the world's largest collection of small molecules. In December 2012, CAS celebrated registration of the 70 millionth substance in the CAS REGISTRY. CAS REGISTRY also contains more than 64 million sequences. The continual growth and updating of organic and inorganic substances in the CAS REGISTRY database is reported with the REGISTRY counter on the newly-designed CAS web site home page (www.cas.org). This growth has been complemented by CAS's expanding coverage of predicted and experimental property values, spectra, and data tags, to more than 3.8 billion by year-end. Through an unparalleled commitment to quality, reliability,and innovation, ACS Publications serves the global scientific community as the leading publisher of peer-reviewed research journals in the chemical and related sciences, and Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the leading news magazine of the chemical world. ACS Journals deliver cost-effectively to customers, highly valued essential information to sustain scholarship and discovery in the chemical sciences and related disciplines. ACS Publications posted a #1 ranking in either Impact Factor and/or Total Citations in 16 categories and, in 2012, received more than 2 million total citations. In a strategic collaboration between ACS Publications and ACS Membership and Scientific Advancement, the Society significantly expanded its journal subscription options for members to allow member access to more than one million articles and book chapters. The Web Editions platform saw record web usage in 2012, delivering over 80 million full text article downloads. The platform now provides 130 million free abstract views a year to over 20 million unique visitors. Chemical & Engineering News, the ACS's weekly newsmagazine, reports on news, events, and trends in the chemical enterprises-industry, government, and academe-in a timely, accurate, and balanced fashion. ACS Publications continued to innovate through the development and launch of two new peer-reviewed journals. These publications collectively reflect ACS's commitment to its editors, authors, customers, readers, and, most of all, the Society's diverse members who have come to rely upon the ACS for authoritative information spanning a wide range of established and new areas of research and inquiry.

Education and Membership -Teaching and learning chemistry in the context of our world is a hallmark of the resources, services, and products produced by ACS. Students and educators know that the ACS is synonymous with quality. ACS continues to be a leader in science education - to inspire students to seek knowledge and careers in science and prepare them for the realities of the global marketplace. The ACS Education programs support educators, students and chemical professionals through a wide range of activities, services, and resources that: - enhance chemical education; - support professionals working in academia and industry; - prepare future generations of scientists; and - engage children in learning about the power of chemistry. In 2012, ACS reached out to thousands of elementary and secondary school students in new and innovative ways. ACS provided a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities to learn skills they will need to compete and succeed as they move forward with their careers. One of ACS's most successful efforts, the ACS Scholars Program, continues to help underrepresented minority students achieve their dreams of degrees and careers in a broad range of chemical sciences. In all, nearly 2,500 African-American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American students have participated in the program since 1995. Of those, nearly 1,400 have earned bachelor's degrees in a chemical science and 40 percent have entered the chemical science workforce. More than 147 of these ACS Scholars have gone on to earn doctoral degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering or a related discipline. Another premier program, Project SEED, offers high school students the rare opportunity to work in academic, government or industrial research laboratories for an eight- to 10-week term. In 2012, the program placed 431 economically disadvantaged high school students in more than 130 research laboratories under the supervision of 434 volunteer scientific mentors and coordinators. The Project SEED Scholarship Subcommittee awarded 29 Project SEED College Scholarships, totaling $145,000, to former SEED students for their freshman year. In addition, three new renewable Ciba Specialty Chemicals scholarships ($5,000/year) were awarded for the 2012-2015 academic years. The ACS High School Chemistry Club program, established in 2005, grew by 12% during 2012 to 536 clubs. ChemClubs support projects and events that bring chemistry to the classroom and the community. Another highlighted program, the ACS Science Coaches, was renewed in 2012. This program encourages chemists to volunteer to assist a teacher on an on-going basis throughout the school year. In the 2012 school year, nearly 100 chemists assisted a teacher at the elementary, middle, and high school level. In 2012, ACS celebrated the 75th anniversary of welcoming undergraduate students into the Society. The number of undergraduate students and chapters has grown to over 18,000 members and 1,040 chapters. The ACS Undergraduate Blog and implementation of an integrated social media strategy resulted in the establishment and reactivation of 53 chapters. ACS hosted the 44th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) and engaged 283 students from 72 countries in practical and theoretical examinations. The U.S. team won one gold medal and three silver medals. ACS participated in the USA Science and Engineering Festival, which culminated in a three-day finale Expo at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center. Nearly 200,000 people participated over the three days. At the ACS booths, over 6,000 children and adults either did a hands-on activity, learned about green chemistry, or viewed a video podcast. ACS Membership and Scientific Advancement (M&SA) programs are administered with the vision that ACS will be the premier professional membership organization for all practitioners of chemistry worldwide. As of December 31, 2012, the ACS has grown to more than 163,000 members. Membership programs are built around five fundamental objectives: - Advance the chemical sciences and technologies through the delivery of high quality programs that provide cutting-edge technical information to all practitioners of chemistry and chemical engineering; - Communicate the value of chemistry and chemical engineering to the public by providing excellent volunteer-based programs and activities to members, local sections, and technical divisions; - Support a diverse community of chemical professionals through value-based programs, services and information that allow chemical practitioners to develop and manage their careers in a global environment; - Advance the frontiers of science in multidisciplinary, international context; ensure advances in scientific knowledge and education benefit the global scientific community; and to foster a lifelong connection among international chemical professionals to ACS; and - Advance the implementation of green chemistry and engineering principles into all aspects of the global chemistry enterprise. In 2012, ACS National Meetings attracted more than 19,000 papers and 30,000 participants. The National Meetings won the prestigious 2012 Green Leader Award offered by the Professional Convention Management Association. At the meetings, M&SA expanded virtual exposition features for exhibitors and attendees - both during and following the meetings. Many people who attend ACS regional meetings are unable to attend National Meetings. In 2012, ACS organized 8 regional meetings and drew a combined audience of over 5,000, 245 exhibitors, and over 4,000 paper presentations. The launch of three successful hybrid meetings experiments extended the line meeting content to a larger audience. The nine webcast events attracted more than 5,000 remote attendees. The first nationwide virtual local section and student chapter meeting in the form of a career webinar was offered simultaneously by 24 local sections. The ACS webinar program featured 45 weekly seminars in 2012, including new topic areas to help expand the audience. In all, ACS Webinars drew 51,000 registrants, including 26,000 live participants and more than 100,000 on-demand views. A ground- breaking new learning system for industry professionals called SciMind was launched and the system contains the world's first "Labinar", a real lab exercise in a virtual environment. The ACS is a global organization with a sizable percentage of its members living outside the U.S. As a membership organization, ACS sees its global presence in terms of helping members achieve their goals in a global workforce and environment. M&SA launched a new International Center, an online clearing house of information on international opportunities for chemical practitioners. The site is a one-stop, efficient and comprehensive resource showcasing existing international collaboration opportunities, experiences and logistics. To enhance chemistry - related training, innovation, and job creation, ACS developed and launched a new Entrepreneurship Initiative (EI) in 2012. The EI's two components are an intensive training program for budding entrepreneurs and a resource center for established entrepreneurs. The program received the highest award given by the American Society for Association Executives for programs that make a difference in the world. ACS offers members many volunteer opportunities to share chemistry with their communities. Volunteers can get involved at the local, regional, and national levels. Under the banner of Chemistry Ambassadors, members are encouraged to be compelling advocates and spoke persons for their profession. A core value for ACS, diversity and inclusion was recognized. The ACS committee on Chemists with Disabilities (CWD) was the top winner in the employer category of the Campaign for Disability Employment's "What can YOU do?" video contest. M&SA organized successful awards selection processes and ceremonies in 2012 for ACS National Awards, ChemLuminary Awards, Heroes of Chemistry, and Green Chemistry awards to recognize members in numerous ways to advance their careers. M&SA also successfully unveiled two new awards to recognize entrepreneurial success (Kathryn C. Hach Award) and outstanding contributions in chemistry and material fields (Akzo Nobel Science Awards). As the Society's members' needs have changed, ACS has developed innovative programs and resources available to its global colleagues to meet their needs. ACS is committed to offering career and leadership training and resources, fostering international collaboration, improving chemistry education especially providing opportunities for underrepresented populations, and engaging the general public to highlight value and contributions of chemists and the chemical enterprise to society.

ACS Petroleum Research Fund - The Petroleum Research Fund was originally established as a trust by seven major oil companies in 1944. The American Chemical Society, to whom the assets of the fund were transferred in 2000, must use the income "for advanced scientific education and fundamental research in the 'petroleum field,' which may include any field of pure science which in the judgment of the Transferee may afford a basis for subsequent research directly connected with the petroleum field." In 2012, the ACS PRF funded 178 grants, totaling more than $16.2 million. The grants included 67 New Directions grants; 71 Doctoral New Investigator grants; 24 Undergraduate Research grants; and 14 Undergraduate New Investigator grants, as well as two Scientific Education grants that support the ACS Scholars Program and the ACS Summer School on Green Chemistry and Sustainable Energy. The following types of grants are among those funded by the ACS Petroleum Research Fund: - Research Grants for Fundamental Research in the Petroleum Field at PhD-Granting Institutions - Research grants to academic institutions for regularly appointed faculty scientists and engineers to assist advanced scientific education and fundamental research. - Research Grants for Fundamental Research in the Petroleum Field at the Undergraduate level- Research grants to academic nstitutions on behalf of faculty members in departments not offering a doctoral degree, to support their research with participation by undergraduates. - Research Grants for Fundamental Research in the Petroleum Field for New faculty- Starter grants to assist the research of young faculty members with a PhD degree who are within their first three years of their first academic appointment as regular faculty members of colleges and universities in the United States.

THE SOCIETY'S ENDOWMENTS WERE CREATED TO ENCOURAGE THE ADVANCEMENT OF CHEMISTRY IN ALL ITS BRANCHES, PROMOTE RESEARCH IN CHEMICAL SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, AND IMPROVE THE QUALIFICATION AND USEFULNESS OF CHEMISTS. OVER $21,000,000 WAS AWARDED IN 2012 TO SUPPORT INNOVATIVE AND FUNDAMENTAL CHEMICAL RESEARCH, PROVIDE UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS, PROVIDE POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS, SUPPORT SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, AND RECOGNIZE, ENCOURAGE, AND STIMULATE OUTSTANDING RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY.
PART X, LINE 2:   FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT REPORTS THE ORGANIZATION'S LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48 (ASC 740): THE SOCIETY IS GENERALLY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3). HOWEVER, THE SOCIETY IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION ON ANY NET UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. AT DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE SOCIETY HAD A NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARD FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES OF APPROXIMATELY $10,400,000, WHICH EXPIRES OVER THE YEARS 2013 THROUGH 2031. A DEFERRED TAX ASSET HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED FOR THE NET OPERATING LOSS BECAUSE THE SOCIETY HAS DETERMINED IT IS NOT RECOVERABLE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012. THE SOCIETY EVALUATED ITS TAX POSITIONS UNDER THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD'S CODIFICATION ON INCOME TAXES ON TAX RETURNS FILED, AS WELL AS UN-FILED TAX RETURN POSITIONS. IT IS MANAGEMENT'S POSITION THAT IT IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THAT ITS TAX POSITIONS DO NOT REQUIRE THE SOCIETY TO RECORD A DEFERRED TAX ASSET. .

The ACS Board of Directors is advised on the salaries and incentive payments for the Executive Director & CEO, officers, top management officials, and key employees by the ACS Committee on Executive Compensation. The ACS Committee on Executive Compensation is comprised of independent members. It includes nonpaid ACS members - the ACS President, the ACS Past President, the Chair of the ACS Budget & Finance Committee, and two ACS members with "expertise in senior and executive staff compensation issues" who are appointed by the ACS Board Chair - as well as the Executive Director & CEO and the ACS President-Elect who serves ex officio (non-voting). The Chair of this Committee is appointed by the ACS Board Chair from among the Committee members. In addition, the Committee on Executive Compensation is advised on the salary and incentive payment for the Executive Director & CEO by a Subcommittee of the ACS Board's Executive Committee - the Subcommittee on the Executive Director's Performance Planning Evaluation and Compensation(EDPPEC). Members of this Committee include the ACS Board Chair, the ACS President-Elect, the ACS President, the ACS Immediate Past President (Presidential Succession from performance year) and the longest tenured Board member who is an elected member of the Board's Executive Committee (for performance year under consideration). The Chair of this Committee is the ACS Board Chair. The total cash compensation for ACS's executive positions is regularly benchmarked against comparable executive positions using independently published compensation survey data and independent executive consultants. These positions have been benchmarked nine separate times by William M. Mercer, Inc. (1994 and 1997), KPMG Peat Marwick (1998), Quatt Associates (2000, 2002, and 2010), Aon Consulting (2004), and Towers Perrin HR Services (2006 and 2008). The salary increases and incentive payments for the Executive Director & CEO, officers, top management officials, and key employees in 2012 were based on the 2011 performance year and were reviewed by the Committee on Executive Compensation and the ACS Board. The Committee and Board voted on these increases and incentives which were documented in the minutes from the Committee and Board meetings. The salary increase and incentive payment for the Executive Director & CEO were also reviewed by the EDPPEC SubCommittee. The written performance reviews and related documentation were provided to the Committee members and the ACS Board of Directors. Salary increases for 2012 for ACS executives were processed at the end of the first quarter.
