| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11a | The Form 990 was prepared by an international accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the Form 990 is circulated to the board before it is filed. However, Schedule B is redacted from the Form 990 before it is circulated to the Board to protect the identity of certain donors who wish to remain anonymous. As such, the organization has checked 'No' to Part VI, Question 11a. Schedule B will be made available to those board members who wish to inspect it individually. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c | The organization monitors and enforces compliance by following these procedures: 1. Any interested person has a duty to disclose the transaction or arrangement; 2. The interested person presents this potential conflict of interest to the Board/Committee; 3. The Board/Committee determines whether there is a conflict of interest; 4. Board/Committee/interested person follows predetermined procedures to address the issue if one exists; 5. The above will be recorded in the minutes of the meetings of the Board/Committee. Each director, officer and member of a committee with Board-delegated powers shall annually respond to a questionnaire and sign a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, d. Understands the Organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes; and e. Provides such information as the AOM requires to prepare the AOM's annual IRS form 990. |

The process used to determine compensation for these individuals is reported on that organization's Form 990. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 | The organization makes its form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business and on its website at www. Philorch.Org.

| From 990, Part VIII, Line 8/Schedule G, Part II | Special Events Disclosure The Academy of Music Anniversary Concert and Ball Cancellation The Academy of Music Anniversary Concert and Ball is an annual, winter fundraising event supporting the preservation of the Academy of Music building. As a result of blizzard conditions resulting in a declared state of emergency in Philadelphia, the Academy of Music Board of Trustees voted to cancel the event for the first time in its 158 year history, which was to have occurred on January 23, 2016. The majority of the contributed revenue for this event remained intact, with few patrons requesting refunds in spite of the cancellation. Many ticket holders allowed their contributions to remain in place as full donations to the Academy of Music in honor of the event and its purpose although they received no value. Due to the late timing of cancellation notice, most of the event expense was unavoidable. Food and other perishable products were donated to local charities benefiting the community. |
