HOWEVER, THE CORPORATION IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES ON ANY NET INCOME THAT IS DERIVED FROM TRADE OR BUSINESS, REGULARLY CARRIED ON AND NOT IN FURTHERANCE OF THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT WAS GRANTED EXEMPTION.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:	OBSERVATORY OPERATIONS CANADA-FRANCE-HAWAII TELESCOPE (CFHT) IS A HIGH-TECH SERVICE PROVIDER DELIVERING EXQUISITE ASTRONOMICAL DATA LEADING TO SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES AT THE FOREFRONT OF TODAY'S ASTRONOMY. CFHT OPERATES, MAINTAINS AND DEVELOPS STATE-OF-THE-ART INSTRUMENTATION ON ITS TELESCOPE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF MAUNAKEA IN HAWAI'I, ONE OF THE BEST SITES IN THE WORLD FOR ASTRONOMICAL RESEARCH, SERVICING THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES FROM CANADA, FRANCE AND HAWAI'I, AND THROUGH COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH TAIWAN AND CHINA. IN ADDITION, CFHT CONDUCTS SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS ON BEHALF OF ITS ASTRONOMICAL COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS THE DATA REDUCTION STEMMING FROM THOSE OBSERVATIONS. FOR EACH OF THE 365 NIGHTS OF THE YEAR 2023, THE SCHEDULE HAD ONE INSTRUMENT ON THE TELESCOPE AND ACQUIRED DATA AS WEATHER PERMITTED. IN ADDITION TO THREE LARGE PROGRAMS THAT INVOLVED SERVERAL DOZENS OF SCIENTISTS FROM COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE, CFHT PERFORMED OBSERVATIONS FOR OVER 160 PROPOSALS, REPRESENTING HUNDREDS OF ACTIVE COLLABORATORS. SOME OF THESE PROPOSALS WERE FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE MAUNAKEA SCHOLARS PROGRAM. ALSO IN 2023, A LITTLE OVER 200 PUBLICATIONS APPEARED IN REFEREED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS BASED ON PRIOR YEARS' OBSERVATIONS AT CFHT. CFHT'S COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH PROGRAM PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY VIA ITS EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN NEIGHBORING SCHOOLS AND CULTURAL CENTERS. THIS APPROACH IS THREEFOLD: (1) SHOWCASE CFHT'S STAFF, SCIENCE AND INSTRUMENTATION, (2) ENGAGE, EXCITE AND INSPIRE HAWAI'I ISLAND KEIKI AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND (3) EXPAND CFHT'S OUTREACH PRESENCE IN OUR PARTNER COUNTRIES. CFHT SUPPORTED THREE MAJOR OUTREACH INITIATIVES AIMED AT LOCAL STUDENTS. CFHT CONTINUES TO WORK WITH THE "JOURNEY THROUGH THE UNIVERSE" PROGRAM, SUPPORTING CLASSROOM VISITS FOR STUDENTS ACROSS HAWAI'I ISLAND. TEACHERS SELECT A TOPIC FOR THEIR CLASSROOM. TOPICS EITHER SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS, FOR EXAMPLE REINFORCING CONTENT LIKE PHASES OF THE MOON, HOW STARS MOVE ACROSS THE SKY, ETC. OR FOCUS ON STUDENT INTERESTS (BLACK HOLES, EXOPLANETS, ETC.) THE SECOND INITIATIVE WAS THE MAUNAKEA SCHOLARS PROGRAM, WHICH GAVE STUDENTS FROM THIRTEEN HAWAI'I HIGH SCHOOLS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE FOR ACTUAL TELESCOPE OBSERVING TIME. THIRTY-FIVE (35) STUDENTS FROM SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS RECEIVED TELESCOPE TIME DURING 2023. 2023 WAS A FULL RESUMPTION OF CFHT'S IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES. STAFF PARTICIPATED IN THE WAIMEA SOLAR SYSTEM WALK, ASTRO DAY IN HILO AND KONA, WINTER STAR PARTY, WAIMEA CHRISTMAS PARADE, CLASSROOM VISITS, SUMMIT TOURS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES INCLUDE REIMBURSED EXPENSES OF $708,058 FOR ASTRONOMER SERVICES (REIMBURSED ASTONOMER SERVICES), AND $27,954 IN MISCELLANEOUS DIRECT REIMBURSED EXPENSES RELATED TO CARRYING OUT ASTRONOMICAL RESEARCH ON MAUNAKEA.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B:	MAUNAKEA SPECTOGRAPHIC EXPLORER (MSE) PROJECT IN 2023, THE MSE PROJECT OFFICE CONTINUED TO DEVELOP THE MSE TELESCOPE DESIGN IN ADVANCE OF A FEASIBILITY REVIEW. IN PARALLEL, THE DECISION WAS MADE TO EXPAND THE FUNDING EFFORTS FOR THE PROJECT. OUR KEY EFFORTS DURING THE YEAR INCLUDED SUBMITTING GRANT APPLICATIONS TO THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT FUNDS TO BUILD A CFHT/MSE IFU INSTRUMENT THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SCIENCE CAPABILITIES AS WELL AS WITH THE ASTRO 2020 SURVEY REPORT. IN NOVEMBER 2021, THE U.S. ASTRO2020 SURVEY REPORT WAS RELEASED RECOGNIZING MSE IS WELL MATCHED WITH TWO OF THE THREE GROUND-BASED SCIENTIFIC CAPABILITIES NEEDED IN THE U.S. ASTRONOMICAL COMMUNITY. GOING FORWARD THE MSE PROJECT OFFICE WILL ENSURE ITS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ASTRO 2020 SURVEY RECOMMENDATIONS ALONG WITH THE EXISTING MSE PARTNERS' NATIONAL EXPECTATIONS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C:	IN 2023, ALL OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART INSTRUMENTS WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL OF CFHT'S COMMUNITY. WE OPERATE FIVE INSTRUMENTS REMOTELY DURING NORMAL OPERATIONS, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES TWO BENCHMARK SURVEYS: (1) TO DISCOVER NEARBY EARTH-LIKE PLANETS IN THE HABITABLE ZONE OF THE MOST NEARBY STARS, AND (2) TO ANSWER SOME OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS IN ASTRONOMY ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY, THE GROWTH OF STRUCTURE IN THE UNIVERSE FROM GALACTIC TO GALAXY CLUSTER SCALES, AND THE ASSEMBLY OF THE MILKY-WAY, AND (3) TO DISCOVER, TRACK, AND CHARACTERIZE SMALL SOLAR SYSTEMS OBJECTS BEYOND THE ORBIT OF NEPTUNE TO TEST PLANET FORMATION MODELS. CFHT OPERATED AT FULL CAPACITY IN 2023.
