Return Reference Explanation
PART II, LINE 9: THE ORGANIZATION'S CONSERVATION EASEMENT IS CARRIED ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AT MARKET VALUE AS DETERMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL.
PART V, LINE 4: THE TRUST'S ENDOWMENT FUND INCLUDES A PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED FUND WHICH IS A TRADITIONAL DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND. THE FUND'S INVESTMENT EARNINGS WILL BE USED IN THE UNRESTRICTED OPERATIONS OF THE TRUST. AS REQUIRED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS.
PART X, LINE 2: EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2009 THE TRUST ADOPTED A POLICY THAT CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE POLICY PRESCRIBES A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN ON AN INCOME TAX RETURN THAT ARE NOT CERTAIN TO BE REALIZED. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS POLICY HAD NO IMPACT ON THE TRUST'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE TRUST FOR ANY YEARS OPEN UNDER THE VARIOUS STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS ARE THAT THE TRUST CONTINUES TO BE EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES AND THE TRUST HAS PROPERLY REPORTED UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME THAT IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES. THE TRUST BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE NO TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE REPORTING DATE. NONE OF THE TRUST'S FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER EXAMINATION. HOWEVER, FISCAL YEARS 2011 AND LATER REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE IRS AND STATE AUTHORITIES.
