AZA IS DEDICATED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS IN THE AREAS OF CONSERVATION, EDUCATION, SCIENCE, AND RECREATION, AND WE HOLD OURSELVES TO THE MOST RIGOROUS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. FOR OVER 25 YEARS, WE HAVE WORKED DETERMINEDLY TO FORWARD PRINCIPLES THAT SHAPE OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS BOTH LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY. AT BUTTERFLY PAVILION, WE BELIEVE THAT AN APPRECIATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT BEGINS WITH AN APPRECIATION FOR ALL LIVING THINGS. EACH DAY WE TEACH THE YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE ABOUT THE NEED FOR CONSERVATION BECAUSE WITH KNOWLEDGE AND EMPOWERMENT WE WILL PROTECT THE WORLD'S NATURAL HABITATS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. 1048909 990662 GUEST EXPERIENCE: BUTTERFLY PAVILION PLAYS A SPECIAL ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AND ADULT LIFELONG LEARNERS THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. SINCE BUTTERFLY PAVILION HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE, WE HAVE PROVIDED NEARLY 5 MILLION VISITORS WITH HANDS-ON EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES. SERVING OVER 330,000 GUESTS ANNUALLY, VISITORS GET THEIR FIRST HANDS-ON ENCOUNTER WITH INVERTEBRATE LIFE AND BEGIN TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE CREATURES. INVERTEBRATES ARE THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM IN WHICH WE LIVE, AND INSECTS MAKE UP OVER THREE-QUARTERS OF THE WORLD'S ANIMAL SPECIES. THEY ARE POLLINATORS, DECOMPOSERS, CONSUMERS AT MANY LEVELS, AND VITAL TO OUR VERY EXISTENCE. WE EXPOSE CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE TO HANDS-ON, IMMERSIVE SCIENCE EXPLORATION BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WITH KNOWLEDGE AND EMPOWERMENT IS A GREATER COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING OUR WORLD'S NATURAL TREASURES. OUR CURRENT EXHIBITS SHOWCASE AND BRING ATTENTION TO THESE TREASURES, CREATING A SAFE AND MEMORABLE WAY TO EXPERIENCE THE NATURAL WORLD. EXPLORING A LIVING RAINFOREST FILLED WITH TROPICAL BUTTERFLIES, OR HOLDING A DESERT TARANTULA FOR THE FIRST TIME IS PERHAPS THE MOST UNIQUE, MEMORABLE, AND IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCE OUR GUESTS WILL EXPERIENCE. OCCUPANCY RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO COVID-19 HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE PAVILION'S OPERATIONS. THE PAVILION HAS A SITE-SPECIFIC VARIANCE FROM THE STATE OF COLORADO, WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE PAVILION TO REMAIN OPEN SINCE JUNE 12, 2020. IN 2020 OVERALL ADMISSIONS WERE DOWN 50%. THE GREATEST IMPACT WAS SEEN IN EDUCATION PROGRAMS SUCH AS FIELD TRIPS WHICH DECREASED 95%. LOOKING INTO 2021, THIS VARIANCE IS ALLOWED THE PAVILION TO REMAIN OPEN TO 20 GUESTS EVERY 20 MINUTES THRU FEBRUARY. IN MARCH THE PAVILION WAS GIVEN A MODIFIED VARIANCE WHICH ALLOWS FOR 40 PEOPLE EVERY 20 MINUTES. IN MARCH THE GENERAL ADMISSION OCCUPANCY WAS 85% OF 2019. AS MORE PEOPLE ARE VACCINATED AND CASES DECREASE, MANAGEMENT IS OPTIMISTIC THAT THE VARIANCE WILL INCREASE. IN JANUARY 2021, THE PAVILION REACHED MAXIMUM CAPACITY ON ALL WEEKEND DAYS. AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2021, THE PAVILION TEMPORARILY MOVED OPERATIONS TO 5 DAYS A WEEK, WHICH RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER SALES ON THE OPEN DAYS. MANAGEMENT REPORTS THAT ADMISSIONS INCREASED IN JANUARY 2021 COMPARED TO NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2020. ADDITIONALLY THE PAVILION HAS RECEIVED A SECOND DRAW PPP LOAN AND WILL BE SUBMITTING FOR 2020 AND 2021 EMPLOYER RETENTION CREDITS. BETWEEN INCREASING ATTENDANCE, INCREASING SUPPORT FROM FUNDRAISING, PPP, AND ERC THE PAVILION HAS A STRONG LONG TERM OUTLOOK. 457011 186333 EDUCATION: BUTTERFLY PAVILION REACHES OVER 115,000 YOUTH INCLUDING OVER 60,000 STUDENTS ANNUALLY. EACH YEAR WE SERVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN THROUGH ONSITE CLASSROOM VISITS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS.

IN DEPTH, CONTENT-ALIGNED CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, FOLLOWED BY HANDS ON ANIMAL AND HABITAT DISCOVERIES ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF COLORADO'S YOUTH EDUCATION. OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO DEVELOP THE MINDS AND INCREASE THE UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE AND NATURE WHILE ENGAGING STUDENTS IN NUMEROUS WAYS WITH DIRECT ANIMAL AND PLANT INTERACTIONS. 2768819 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 20 0 93 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CO X BILL FINLEY 3034695441 6252 WEST 104TH AVENUE WESTMINSTER CO 80020 CHAD SCHNEIDER BOARD CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL SNIDER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RANDY AHRENS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY LOPER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GARRETT BAUM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH MONFORT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID DEMOTT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICH JARBOE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL KING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE STENCEL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK TENNYSON CEO 40.00 X 132025 0 11281 WILLIAM FINLEY CFO 40.00 X 64302 0 6000 MARY ANN COLLEY COO 40.00 X 89531 0 8581 JANET MCFARLAND BURLILE VP OF FUND DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 117362 0 6000 403220 0 31862 2 0 0 0 0 144446 1392375 389585 22959 1926406 ADMISSION FEES 900099 814304 814304 MEMBERSHIPS 900099 176358 176358 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS 900099 124917 124917 OUTREACH AND EVENTS 900099 61416 61416 1176995 17965 17965 16597 144446 41788 -25191 -25191 472355 191965 280390 280390 OTHER INCOME 900099 204252 204252 204252 3580817 1661637 0 -7226 311720 98112 213608 2074516 1531889 279963 262664 24758 17599 5191 1968 185930 141964 27129 16837 167928 119375 35205 13348 9785 3600 6185 56235 56235 229699 113659 84509 31531 72882 2165 70717 83373 67705 8358 7310 143273 124543 12288 6442 10728 8542 2056 130 9433 9433 341276 304950 33542 2784 28309 22692 3294 2323 PROGRAM/EXHIBIT COSTS 86554 86554 BANK FEES 77303 41534 34514 1255 SUBSCRIPTIONS 74657 40894 22310 11453 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 26430 26430 40485 16612 6377 17496 4055274 2768819 910914 375541 642810 377787 432333 216169 80889 68548 118862 56049 111199 91250 21206 0 9028612 5468642 3825425 3559970 147215 159043 5379939 4528816 387093 147599 241464 187677 903385 820000 48404 48404 1580346 1203680 X 2966446 2680641 833147 644495 3799593 3325136 5379939 4528816 -474457 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1185482 1330189 1693007 2051424 1926406 8186508 1185482 1330189 1693007 2051424 1926406 8186508 8186508 3815 4090 3986 4443 17965 34299 225 7663 58626 122676 204252 393442 8614249 13039811 0.95030 0.96990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 147215 17492 5664 159043 131862 20804 5451 147215 145691 -8433 5396 131862 131247 1000 18720 5276 145691 127712 8452 4917 131247 1.00000 1 0 977685 977685 5122977 3645524 1477453 1191354 1072800 118554 1736596 750318 986278 3559970 LINE OF CREDIT 48404 48404 3631556 24800 25939 50739 3580817 0 3580817 4106013 24800 25939 50739 4055274 0 4055274 PART V, LINE 4: PROCEEDS FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE USED BY THE PAVILION FOR EDUCATIONAL AND SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT.
