17211554 Part II, Line 5: Conservation Easements Land Purposes: 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. Policy: the natural areas program began in 1956 and now currently protects more than 7,800 acres (approximately 1,775 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: UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48 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 307,629.
