Return Reference Explanation
PART III, LINE 1A: AMERICAS SOCIETY MAINTAINS COLLECTIONS INCLUDING ART WORK AND HISTORICAL TREASURES THAT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED OR DONATED. THESE ITEMS ARE PRESERVED AND CARED FOR AND MANY ARE DISPLAYED IN PUBLIC EXHIBITIONS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE A FORMAL POLICY THAT REQUIRES THAT THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THESE ITEMS BE USED TO EXPAND THE COLLECTIONS THROUGH ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS. HOWEVER, HISTORICALLY, THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOT SOLD WORKS OF ART AND TREASURES FROM ITS HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND HAS NO INTENTION TO SELL ITS WORKS OF ART AND HISTORICAL TREASURES AND NOT TO USE THE PROCEEDS TO FURTHER ITS VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM, RESTORE CURRENT HOLDINGS, OR EXPAND THE COLLECTION THROUGH ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS. THEREFORE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GASB, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT CAPITALIZE COLLECTIONS MEETING ALL OF THE ABOVE FACTORS.
PART III, LINE 4: AMERICAS SOCIETY'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL, MODERN, AND CONTEMPORARY ART AND OBJECTS FROM LATIN AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN, AND CANADA, REFLECT OUR UNIQUE MISSION TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF THE DIVERSE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE HEMISPHERE AMONG U.S. AUDIENCES; A GOAL WE FURTHER BY HAVING THESE WORKS ON PUBLIC DISPLAY IN OUR BUILDING.
PART V, LINE 4: THE SOCIETY'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL GIFTS ESTABLISHED PRIMARILY TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE SOCIETY. ITS ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF DONOR-RESTRICTED AND BOARD DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT FUNDS. AS REQUIRED BY U.S. GAAP, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. THE SOCIETY FOLLOWS THE NEW YORK PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (NYPMIFA), WHICH REQUIRES THE PRESERVATION OF THE VALUE OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT AS OF THE GIFT DATE OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS ABSENT EXPLICIT DONOR STIPULATIONS TO THE CONTRARY, AND EXCEPT IN THOSE CASES WHERE THE LAW ALLOWS APPROPRIATION FOR SPENDING OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT AMOUNTS. AS A RESULT, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CLASSIFIES AS NET ASSETS WITH DONOR RESTRICTIONS FOR ENDOWMENT (A) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF THE GIFTS DONATED TO THE ENDOWMENT, (B) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF SUBSEQUENT GIFTS TO THE ENDOWMENT, AND (C) ACCUMULATIONS OF INVESTMENT RETURNS TO THE ENDOWMENT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE APPLICABLE DONOR GIFT INSTRUMENT AT THE TIME THE ACCUMULATION IS ADDED TO THE FUND. THE SOCIETY'S INVESTMENT POLICY, AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, UTILIZES A TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT APPROACH. ENDOWMENT ASSETS ARE INVESTED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ASSET CLASSES AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES TO DIVERSIFY INVESTMENTS AND PROVIDE A BALANCE THAT WILL ENHANCE THE LONG-TERM TOTAL RETURN OF THE OVERALL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO WHILE AVOIDING UNDUE RISK OR CONCENTRATION IN ANY SINGLE ASSET CLASS OR INVESTMENT. TARGET ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES AND OPERATING RANGES ARE ESTABLISHED FOR VARIOUS ASSET CLASSES. PERFORMANCE IS MEASURED AGAINST VARIOUS COMPOSITE BENCHMARK INDICES REFLECTING TARGET ASSET ALLOCATION. ENDOWMENT ASSETS INCLUDE BOTH THOSE ASSETS OF DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS THAT THE SOCIETY MUST HOLD IN PERPETUITY AS WELL AS THEIR ACCUMULATED EARNINGS. UNDER THE SOCIETY'S SPENDING POLICY, A PERCENTAGE OF THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30 OF THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS IS AVAILABLE FOR APPROPRIATION. FOR 2024 AND 2023, 5.0% WAS APPROPRIATED TOTALING $2,645,184 AND $2,607,486, RESPECTIVELY.
PART X, LINE 2: THE SOCIETY RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS WHEN THEY ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE SOCIETY HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE. THE SOCIETY IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO AUDITS BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING JURISDICTION FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO 2021.
PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: WRITE OFF OF UNCOLLECTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS 35,000.
