Explanation

PART X, LINE 2:

UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN THE CENTER'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FASB. UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, WHEN TAX RETURNS ARE FILED, IT IS HIGHLY CERTAIN THAT SOME POSITIONS TAKEN WOULD BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES, WHILE OTHERS MAY BE SUBJECT TO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE MERITS OF THE POSITION TAKEN OR THE AMOUNT OF THE POSITION THAT WOULD BE ULTIMATELY SUSTAINED. THE BENEFIT OF A TAX POSITION IS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN THE PERIOD DURING WHICH, BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE EVIDENCE, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION, INCLUDING THE RESOLUTION OF APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, IF ANY. TAX POSITIONS TAKEN ARE NOT OFFSET OR AGGREGATED WITH OTHER POSITIONS. TAX POSITIONS THAT MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT RECOGNITION THRESHOLD ARE MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF TAX BENEFIT THAT IS MORE THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT WITH THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY. THE PORTION OF THE BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH TAX POSITIONS TAKEN THAT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT MEASURED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE WOULD BE REFLECTED AS A LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS, ALONG WITH ANY ASSOCIATED INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD BE PAYABLE TO THE TAXING AUTHORITIES UPON EXAMINATION. THERE WAS NO LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2015 OR 2014.

	RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONISLAND PRESS WORKS WITH LEADING THINKERS AND PRACTITIONERS TO SHAPE AND DISSEMINATE CUTTING-EDGE IDEAS IN SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN A COMPELLING, UNDERSTANDABLE WAY. BY STIMULATING IDEAS AND SHAPING EMERGING FIELDS OF KNOWLEDGE, THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION ISLAND PRESS EMPOWERS DECISION MAKERS FROM THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT SECTORS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED TO MAKE CRITICAL CHOICES ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET. IN 2015, ISLAND PRESS WORKED CLOSELY WITH VOICES FROM ACADEMIA, THE PRIVATE SECTOR, THE ADVOCACY COMMUNITY, GOVERNMENT, AND THE MEDIA. WITH HELP FROM OUR GENEROUS SUPPORTERS, WE ELEVATE THESE VOICES OF CHANGE, SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON CRUCIAL ISSUES, AND FOCUS ATTENTION ON SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS. ISLAND PRESS PUBLISHED 27 NEW TITLES IN 2015, SELLING 190,453 UNITS AND DISTRIBUTING 12,643 COMPLIMENTARY UNITS. AMONG THESE WERE: "BRILLIANT GREEN: THE SURPRISING HISTORY AND SCIENCE OF PLANT INTELLIGENCE" BY BIOLOGIST STEFANO MANCUSO - COMBINING A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE WITH THE LATEST IN PLANT SCIENCE, MANCUSO ARGUES THAT WE UNDERESTIMATE PLANTS. FAR FROM PASSIVE MACHINES, PLANTS ARE INTELLIGENT AND AWARE. THROUGH A SURVEY OF PLANT CAPABILITIES FROM SIGHT AND TOUCH TO COMMUNICATION, MANCUSO CHALLENGES OUR NOTION OF INTELLIGENCE, PRESENTING A VISION OF PLANT LIFE THAT IS MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN MOST IMAGINE-AND SHOWS THAT PLANTS HAVE MUCH TO TEACH US. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR IN "THE GUARDIAN" RECEIVED NEARLY 600 COMMENTS AND 68,000 SHARES. "TACTICAL URBANISM" BY MIKE LYDON AND ANTHONY GARCIA - TACTICAL URBANISM EMPOWERS LOCAL CITIZENS AND POLICYMAKERS TO IMPROVE SAFETY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND HEALTH USING QUICK, INEXPENSIVE PROJECTS. BY SHOWING WHAT IS POSSIBLE, SUCH PROJECTS CAN ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND LEAD TO LONG-TERM CHANGE. ISLAND PRESS ARRANGED FOR MIKE TO MEET WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND CITIZENS AROUND THE COUNTRY TO SHOW HOW TACTICAL URBANISM PROJECTS CAN MAKE CITY STREETS SAFER. "TOMS RIVER: A STORY OF SCIENCE AND SALVATION" BY JOURNALIST DAN FAGIN - "TOMS RIVER" TELLS HOW THE SMALL NEW JERSEY TOWN'S STRUGGLE WITH DECADES OF CHEMICAL POLLUTION AFFECTED THE HEALTH OF THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. IT SHOWS HOW CONCERNED CITIZENS, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, AND SCIENTISTS CAME TOGETHER TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE. THE BOOK WON THE 2014 PULITZER PRIZE FOR GENERAL NONFICTION. WHEN WE PUBLISHED THE PAPERBACK EDITION IN APRIL 2015, OUR GOAL WAS TO BRING THIS STORY TO NEW READERS, ESPECIALLY STUDENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SCIENCE JOURNALISM. ALREADY MORE THAN 600 PROFESSORS ARE REVIEWING THE BOOK FOR USE IN THE CLASSROOM. "START-UP CITY: INSPIRING PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP, GETTING PROJECTS DONE, AND HAVING FUN" BY GABE KLEIN WITH DAVID VEGA-BARACHOWITZ - "START-UP CITY" DEMONSTRATES HOW TO AFFECT BIG, DIRECTIONAL CHANGE IN CITIES-AND FAST. KLEIN'S OBJECTIVE IS TO INSPIRE WHAT HE CALLS "PUBLIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP," A START-UP-PACE ENERGY WITHIN THE PUBLIC SECTOR, BROUGHT ABOUT BY LEVERAGING THE IMMENSE RESOURCES AT ITS DISPOSAL. KLEIN OFFERS GUIDANCE FOR CUTTING THROUGH THE MORASS, AND A ROADMAP FOR GETTING REAL, MEANINGFUL PROJECTS DONE QUICKLY AND HAVING FUN WHILE DOING IT. THIS BOOK IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE IN CITIES WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE GLACIAL PACE OF CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT.

	PROGRAM SERVICES/TECHNICAL ASSISTANCECONSERVATION FINANCE NETWORKACROSS THE COUNTRY, INTEREST IN USING COMMERCIAL, INVESTOR-DRIVEN TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR CONSERVATION IS GROWING RAPIDLY. WHILE A NUMBER OF CONSERVATION FINANCE DEALS HAVE GENERATED FINANCIAL AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RETURNS, THIS FIELD IS NOT YET WIDELY RECOGNIZED. THE CONSERVATION FINANCE NETWORK (CFN) AT ISLAND PRESS IS WORKING TO CHANGE THAT. CFN ADVANCES LAND AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION BY EXPANDING THE USE OF INNOVATIVE FUNDING AND FINANCING STRATEGIES. BY TRAINING, CONVENING, AND SUPPORTING A GROWING NETWORK OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT PROFESSIONALS, CFN HELPS TO INCREASE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES DEPLOYED FOR CONSERVATION.CFN HOSTS ANNUAL "BOOT CAMPS," INTENSIVE TRAININGS ON INNOVATIVE FINANCE TECHNIQUES FOR CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING THE 9TH ANNUAL CONSERVATION FINANCE BOOT CAMP HELD JUNE 1-5, 2015, AT THE YALE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES. IN 2015, CFN ALSO COLLABORATED ON A CONSERVATION IMPACT INVESTMENT CONFERENCE HELD IN NEW YORK CITY IN JANUARY. THE CONFERENCE BROUGHT TOGETHER OVER 150 INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS, FUND MANAGERS, FOUNDATION PROFESSIONALS, AND FEDERAL AGENCY LEADERS TO FIND WAYS TO MAINSTREAM AND GROW THE FIELD OF CONSERVATION FINANCE. CFN ALSO LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR A NEW SERIES OF CONVENINGS, THE CONSERVATION FINANCE PRACTITIONER ROUNDTABLE, FUNDED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION SERVICE. THIS SERIES OF MEETINGS WILL BRING TOGETHER AN EXPERT COHORT OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND PHILANTHROPIC PRACTITIONERS TO ADVANCE THE CONTRIBUTION OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL TO WORKING LANDS CONSERVATION OUTCOMES.BUILDING CAPACITY THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS IN 2015, WE EMPHASIZED MORE DIRECT WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER PARTNERS TO BETTER DISSEMINATE OUR CONTENT TO THEIR MEMBERS AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF PROFESSIONALS TO TACKLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. ONE WAY WE PARTNER FOR OUTREACH IS THROUGH OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY FORUM (SSF), AN ONLINE LEARNING ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON CLIMATE SECURITY. THE FORUM REACHES POLICYMAKERS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, ACADEMICS, AND INDUSTRY AND NON-PROFIT PROFESSIONALS, WHICH ALIGNS WELL WITH ISLAND PRESS' OWN TARGET AUDIENCE. THE WEBINARS REACH 15,000 PEOPLE THROUGH SSF'S NETWORK OF PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. OUR CONTINUING EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL LAUNCHED IN 2014 AND HAS GROWN INTO A STRONG EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION. WE HAVE DEVELOPED SEVEN ONLINE COURSES ON SUSTAINABLE CITIES EXCLUSIVELY FOR THEIR NETWORK OF NEARLY 200,000 LEED PROFESSIONALS, DELIVERING ALMOST 8,000 HOURS OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT TO 19,000 UNIQUE USERS. PROGRAMS LIKE THESE MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE BY REACHING PROFESSIONALS WHO CAN INTEGRATE NEW IDEAS AND TESTED SOLUTIONS INTO THEIR WORK. ISLAND PRESS IS INCREASING OUR EFFORTS TO EXPAND THE NUMBER AND TYPES OF PARTNERS WE HAVE THAT CAN LINK US DIRECTLY WITH THE AUDIENCES WE SERVE. OUR COURSES ARE CONSISTENTLY AMONG THE MOST COMPLETED AND MOST HIGHLY-RATED ON THE PLATFORM. EACH OF THESE ACTIVITIES ADVANCES OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE THE BEST IDEAS AND INFORMATION TO THOSE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE SOLUTIONS TO ITS COMPLEX PROBLEMS.
