Return Reference Explanation
III 4 The NRA Museums promote gun collecting and preservation of history through the heritage of firearms. The NRA Museums include the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia the Frank Brownell Museum of the Southwest in Raton, New Mexico and the NRA National Sporting Arms Museum at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, Missouri. To make the NRA Museums the finest possible resources for the public, the NRA and its affiliated charities rely on generous supporters to build the exhibition and research collections through contributions of historically significant firearms. As individuals grow older and make plans for their loved ones and special treasures, all firearms owners must eventually answer the question, What will happen to my guns when I am gone For many NRA members and supporters, the answer is the NRA. Please visit NRAmuseums.org for exciting current information on the museum galleries, and please visit NRAGive.com to consider your legacy of supporting the liberties that built this country.
V 4 NRA endowment funds benefit NRA Institute for Legislative Action, national shooting championships, marksmanship, and law enforcement.
X 1 This response explains the derivative financial instrument disclosed as a liability. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risks associated with the NRAs borrowing, and interest rate swaps are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 815. The NRAs interest rate swap is recorded in the balance sheet at fair value with fair value changes recorded as unrealized gain on derivative instrument.
X 2 This response provides the text of the footnote to the organizations financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Management evaluated the NRAs tax positions and concluded that the NRA had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, the NRA is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2011, which is the standard statute of limitations look-back period.
XI 2d Includes agency transaction and unrealized gain on derivative instrument.
XI 4b Includes cost of goods sold, rental expense, accounting procedure valuation adjustment to pension plan, interest on endowment grants.
XII 2d Includes cost of goods sold, rental expense, accounting procedure valuation adjustment to pension plan.
XII 4b Includes interest on endowment grants.

Return Reference Explanation
Part I Line 1a Charter travel was used on occasions when travel logistics precluded other available options. Certain compensation elements were grossed up. All tax gross ups were properly included in taxable compensation. Clubs are used only for business purposes and are properly excluded from taxable compensation.
Part I Line 4b The 457f service cost included in deferred compensation for Chris W. Cox was 30,568, as actuarially calculated under FASB ASC 715. The NRA decides the benefit amount and timeframe for vesting of each participant. The 457f plan is also designed to supplement the current defined benefit pension plan where current benefit law causes low replacement ratios for some participants.
Part I Column Biii Other reportable compensation in taxable wages includes 457b, fringe auto, and group life insurance benefits. Column C includes the employer paid portions of the NRA defined benefit pension plan, 401k plan, and 457f plan. The NRA takes a full transparency posture for executive compensation.
