Return Reference	Explanation
Part V, Line 4:	General Operating Costs
Part X, Line 2:	The Theater is a not-for-profit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Theater may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Theater, the continued tax-exempt status of the bond issued by the Theater, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. The Theater files annual information returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Illinois. The Theater is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years before 2012.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	With respect to compensation of the CEO/Executive Director on an ongoing basis, post-hiring, the Board of Trustees has delegated overall responsibility for establishing such compensation to the Executive Committee. To carry out this assignment, the Executive Committee utilizes an ad hoc compensation sub-committee ("the compensation sub-committee"), consisting of former and current Board Chairs, along with board members bearing special expertise in the area of compensation, to review and determine the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director. To determine the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director, the compensation sub-committee has successfully employed a number of tools and resources, including without limitation, a review of compensation for similar positions at similar organizations, drawing upon data from Form 990's for such organizations; the compensation committee, as a matter of policy, retains the option of utilizing independent compensation consultants and compensation surveys or studies, when it determines that it is appropriate to supplement data from other resources. Each year, the compensation sub-committee reviews the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director in conjunction with the review of the performance of the CEO/Executive Director, including accomplishments, achievement of goals, and opportunities for improvement. After the completion of such review, the compensation sub-committee reports its findings and recommendations to the Executive Committee, which then determines the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director for the ensuing year. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Board Chair reports to the Board of Trustees the actions taken by the Executive Committee.

	Partnership Initiative: Limited financial and administrative resources present challenges to the Harris Theater resident companies as they build the administrative capacity necessary for long-term sustainability. To address this need, the Harris Theater has developed the Partnership Initiative to empower non-profit companies to meet their varied artistic and institutional goals.

In 2014-2015, the Partnership Initiative served 31 non-profit organizations.The Partnership Initiative encompasses the Theater's services in the following areas:- Rental and technical subsidy programs: Approximately 68% of daily usage costs are underwritten by the Theater for all non-profit renters;- Additional rent and technical subsidy opportunities to offset production expenses;- Theatrical, lighting, and sound equipment & the counsel of in-house technical staff;- Marketing, press relations, and ticket sales support;- Learning Lab professional development series that provides professional development seminars, an online toolkit and targeted coaching sessions to help companies build their marketing, fundraising, governance, fiscal, and administrative capabilities;- The Harris Theater uses Tessitura, comprehensive patron data management software which integrates development, marketing and ticketing functions for leading arts and cultural organizations.
