MUSEUM RESEARCHERS DISCOVERED NEW SPECIES, INCLUDING A LARGE EXTINCT OTTER AND SEVERAL DINOSAURS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE. RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD VISIT THE MUSEUM TO STUDY ITS COLLECTIONS FOR SCIENTIFIC STUDY. THE MUSEUM HOLDS THE LARGEST WELL-DOCUMENTED HUMAN SKELETON COLLECTION IN THE WORLD, WHICH IS USED BY SCIENTISTS, MEDICAL DEVICE COMPANIES, AND MANY OTHERS. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)The Natural Areas Program conserves a system of nature preserves, totaling 8,100 acres in size. Our preserves best represent the broad spectrum of biodiversity found within the geographic area of northern Ohio. Each of our natural areas harbors one or more distinct biotic community; including hardwood forest, Lake Erie island, fossil dune ridge, marsh, swamp and glacial wetland, among many others. They serve as an outstanding resource for studying and teaching about the remarkable biological diversity of the region. Museum preserves are model scientific field laboratories in which researchers can conduct long-term studies in locations relatively free from human interference, as well as spectacular locations to take the general public on nature field trips. 3060371 560399 Education: The museum offers unique learning opportunities including hands-on workshops, gallery, health, planetarium, live animal programs and self-conducted exhibits, outreach and interactive videoconferencing programs. The museum offered on-site school programs for 42,889 students and delivered outreach programs to 21,994 students during fiscal year 2017. In addition, the museum delivered programs to 9,745 students from our interactive videoconferencing studios to 19 states and 2 countries. 2870011 335821 The Museum presented a total of five special exhibitions during the 2017 fiscal year.

5: Conservation Easements The museum routinely purchases land for conservation purposes through its natural areas program. In keeping with standard museum practice, these expenditures are charged as expense in the STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES and are carried at no value in the statement of financial position of the museum. The natural areas program began in 1956 and now currently protects more than 8,000 acres (approximately 2,248 acres are under easement, the balance is owned outright). The center for conservation and biodiversity unites the museum's conservation AND related activities to further the protection and stewardship of the region's native biodiversity. The center conducts extensive fieldwork, identifies and protects rare natural communities in northern Ohio and provides conservation information to the community. AS A RESULT OF THE PROGRAMS BEING CONDUCTED RELATED TO THIS WORK, THE TEAM IS PERIODICALLY VISITING ALL OF THE SITES AND MONITORING, INSPECTING AND ENFORCING THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS HELD BY THE MUSEUM. Part X, Line 2: Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The museum adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-25 (Formerly FIN 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in income taxes") which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more- likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The museum recognizes interest and penalties accrued, if any, related to unrecognized tax uncertainties in income tax expense. The museum determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions. Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: RENTAL EXPENSES NET AGAINST INCOME 290,712.
