Return Reference Explanation
PART III, LINE 1A: AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023, COLLECTIONS CONSIST OF THREE FILMS COMMISSIONED BY THE MUSEUM, A COLLECTION OF GERMAN, FRENCH, AND AMERICAN ARTIFACTS AQUIRED FROM THE ST. LO MUSEUM IN FRANCE IN 1995, AIRCRAFT, TANKS, CERTAIN MILITARY VEHICLES, AND MISCELLANEOUS ARTIFACTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE MUSEUM ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE MONUMENTS MEN FOUNDATION DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021. THE MUSEUM DOES NOT RECORD DEPRECIATION ON ITS COLLECTIONS BECAUSE DEPRECIATION IS NOT PRESENTLY REQUIRED TO BE RECOGNIZED ON INDIVIDUAL WORKS OF ART OR HISTORICAL TREASURES WHOSE ECONOMIC BENEFIT OR SERVICE POTENTIAL IS USED SO SLOWLY THAT THEIR ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES ARE EXTRAORDINARILY LONG. IT IS THE MUSEUM'S POLICY TO CAPITALIZE ONLY THOSE ITEMS PURCHASED, NOT THOSE DONATED, UNLESS THE ITEM'S COST IS SIGNIFICANT AND IS ABLE TO BE VALUED OBJECTIVELY. DONATED COLLECTION ITEMS ARE NOT RECORDED, EXCEPT IN RARE CIRCUMSTANCES, DUE TO THE LACK OF AN OBJECTIVE BASIS OF VALUATION.
PART III, LINE 4: THE NATIONAL WORLD WAR II MUSEUM'S COLLECTION CONSISTS OF OVER 250,000 UNIQUE ITEMS FROM WORLD WAR II, INCLUDING LETTERS, PHOTOGRAPHS, DIARIES, UNIFORMS, WEAPONS, BOATS, PLANES, TANKS, TRUCKS, PERSONAL ACCOUNTS, ARCHIVAL FILM AND LIBRARY MATERIAL. THIS MATERIAL IS USED IN PUBLIC EXHIBITIONS, SCHOLARLY RESEARCH AND LOANS WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS TO DEMONSTRATE WHY WORLD WAR II WAS FOUGHT, HOW IT WAS WON, AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO US TODAY SO THAT ALL GENERATIONS WILL UNDERSTAND THE PRICE OF FREEDOM AND BE INSPIRED BY WHAT THEY LEARN.
PART IV, LINE 2B: CONSTRUCTION RETAINAGE
PART V, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S INTENDED USE OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS IS TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT, WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS.
PART X, LINE 2: ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PROVIDE ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE GUIDANCE ABOUT POSITIONS TAKEN BY AN ENTITY IN ITS TAX RETURNS THAT MIGHT BE UNCERTAIN. THE MUSEUM BELIEVES THAT IT HAS TAKEN APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT ARE MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PENALTIES AND INTEREST ASSESSED BY INCOME TAXING AUTHORITIES, IF ANY, WOULD BE INCLUDED IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE.
