SCHEDULE D, PART III, LINE 4 HADASSAH THE WOMEN'S ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA, INC'S WORK OF ART REFLECTS THE MISSION AND SPIRIT OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE SHLOMO KOREN SCULPTURE IS DISPLAYED AT THE HADASSAH ACADEMIC COLLEGE IN JERUSALEM, ISRAEL WHERE THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY CONGREGATES.
SCHEDULE D, PART V Hadassah, The Womens Zionist Organization of America, Inc.s (HWZOA) endowment funds represented in Schedule D, Part V are comprised of Permanently Restricted, Temporarily Restricted and Board Designated Net Assets. The Permanently Restricted Net Assets are subject to donor-imposed restrictions, which stipulate that the principal be maintained permanently but permit HWZOA to expend part or all of the income and gains derived therefrom. The income and gains are Temporarily Restricted Net Assets. Board Designated Net Assets are Unrestricted Net Assets subject to self-imposed limits by action of the governing board and make up the vast majority of HWZOAs endowment funds. These funds will be used to enhance HWZOAs mission which is to support Healthcare, Education, Youth Programs and the quality of American and Jewish life in the United States and Israel. In October 2012 Hadassah sold its property located at 50 West 58th Street for the selling price of $71,500,000. Based on an order approving the sale of the building at the Ex Parte of the Supreme Court of the State of New York on August 17, 2012, the Attorney General did not object to Hadassah's use of the net proceeds of the sale for purposes of creating a board-restricted fund, which will provide long-term financial security for the Organization and support the Organization's charitable programs and activities. This board-designated fund was inadvertently excluded from the 2012 and 2013 Form 990, Schedule D, Part V. In the current year's Form 990, this fund is properly reflected in Schedule D, Part V in columns a, b and c.
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 The Organization recognizes the effect of income tax provisions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purpose is subject to tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 511. Taxes on disallowed expenses and Value Added Tax paid were included in the sections of the expenses on which the tax was imposed. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Organization does not have any uncertain tax positions or any unrelated income tax liability, which would have a material impact upon its consolidated financial statements.

FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 6, 7A AND 7B HADASSAH, THE WOMEN'S ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA, INC. ("HADASSAH") IS A VOLUNTEER AND A MEMBERSHIP WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION, WHOSE MEMBERS ARE MOTIVATED AND INSPIRED TO STRENGTHEN THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH ISRAEL, ENSURE JEWISH CONTINUITY, AND REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL AS A DYNAMIC FORCE IN AMERICAN SOCIETY. HADASSAH'S MEMBERS ELECT THE ELECTED DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL BOARD ANNUALLY AT THEIR NATIONAL BUSINESS MEETING WHILE OTHER DIRECTORS SERVE BY VIRTUE OF THEIR POSITION IN THE ORGANIZATION. AT THE NATIONAL MEETING, THE MEMBERS ALSO MAY APPROVE THE ANNUAL BUDGET PREPARED BY THE NATIONAL BOARD, AND DETERMINE GENERAL POLICIES AND TRANSACT OTHER BUSINESS.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11 THE RETURN IS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY HWZOA AND IN CONSULTATION WITH HWZOA'S STAFF. THE DRAFT PREPARED BY THE ACCOUNTING FIRM IS THEN CAREFULLY REVIEWED BY HWZOA. A COPY OF THE FINAL FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO EACH BOARD MEMBER PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. THE FORM 990 IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION UPON REQUEST AND IS ALSO ON HADASSAH'S WEBSITE.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C A COPY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS GIVEN TO THE NATIONAL BOARD MEMBERS AND ALL NATIONAL STAFF ONCE EACH YEAR, AND IS ALSO AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND ON OUR INTRANET AND IN THE PERSONNEL POLICY MANUAL. A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS OBTAINED ANNUALLY FROM ALL NATIONAL BOARD MEMBERS AND ALL NATIONAL STAFF WHO ARE CURRENTLY SERVING THE ORGANIZATION. WHEN A CONFLICT ARISES FOR ANY NATIONAL BOARD MEMBER, THAT NATIONAL BOARD MEMBER SHALL REPORT IT IN WRITING TO THE CHAIR OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE. WHEN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARISES FOR ANY NATIONAL STAFF MEMBER, THAT STAFF MEMBER SHALL REPORT IT IN WRITING TO THEIR DIRECT SUPERVISOR AND TO THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES. THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS THEN BROUGHT TO THE CHAIR OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE. THE ETHICS COMMITTEE REVIEWS EACH DISCLOSURE AT A MEETING CONVENED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A AND 15B WHEN AN OFFICER OR KEY EMPLOYEE IS HIRED, THE ORGANIZATION CONDUCTS A REVIEW OF VARIOUS COMPARABILITY DATA FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL AND THE SEARCH FIRM. THE ORGANIZATION SETS COMPENSATION WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE GOING MARKET RATE. THE COMPENSATION AMOUNT IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD.

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 8 FROM 2004 TO 2012, THE ORGANIZATION RECORDED A TOP-SIDED ENTRY ON THE FORM 990 TO CHARGE OFF 92% OF FUNDRAISING EXPENSES AND 50% OF MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL EXPENSES FROM HWZOA'S FORM 990 TO HMRA'S FORM 990. THIS WAS DONE SO THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL FORM 990 WOULD BE MORE INFORMATIVE TO THE READER. IN 2013, THE ORGANIZATION STOPPED RECORDING THIS TRANSACTION AS A TOP-SIDED ENTRY BUT RATHER BOOKED IT AS A HARD ENTRY ON THE BOOKS OF HWZOA AND HMRA. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION PICKED UP THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THESE TOP-SIDED ENTRIES FROM 2004 TO 2012 ON EACH COMPANY'S BOOKS IN THE AMOUNT OF $138,750,901. THE BENEFIT OF THIS CHANGE IS THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S BOOKS AND TAX RETURN ARE NOW IN SYNC. THE JOURNAL ENTRY TO PICK UP THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THESE TOP-SIDED ENTRIES HAD NO EFFECT ON THE FORM 990'S OR ON THE ORGANIZATION'S CONSOLIDATED AUDIT REPORT, HOWEVER, IT DID HAVE AN EFFECT ON HWZOA'S AND HMRA'S INDIVIDUAL SET OF BOOKS. AS STATED ABOVE, HMRA GAVE HWZOA A GRANT EACH YEAR FROM UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND BY PICKING UP THIS CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THE TOP-SIDED ENTRY, HMRA REDUCED THEIR UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE AND HWZOA INCREASED THEIR UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE FOR A SECOND TIME IN THE AMOUNT OF $138,750,901. THE ORGANIZATION RETURNED THESE UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS TO HMRA THROUGH A PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT ON THE CY 2015 FORMS 990.
