Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, oIn accordance with accounting policies generally followed by museums, the value of The Museums collections is not reflected in the combined Statement of Financial Position. The Museums collections policy requires that the proceeds from the sale of collection items be used for acquisitions to the collections. If the assets used to purchase collection items are sourced from restricted funds, proceeds from the sale of those items are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted net assets in that fund until an acquisition is made.The Museum changed its policy for collections during the year ended June 30, 2018. The change in policy is due to the re-chartering of the Museum under the Department of Education. The Museum has previously carried its collections on the statement of financial Position and considered them to be temporarily restricted net assets. The New York State Board of Regents under section 3.27, Chartering and Restoration of Museums and Historical Societies with Collections, specifically states that collections shall not be capitalized. See Note 17 for the effect of the prior period adjustment. The Value is estimated to be $1,445,136.
