Explanation	The Philadelphia Orchestra Association paid consulting firms Duane Morris and Roberti and White, $50,004 and $70,000 respectively during fiscal year ended August 31, 2016. These firms were hired to solicit funds from governmental entities on behalf of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association; however, since these firms engage in lobbying activities that indirectly benefit the orchestra, the organization is taking a prudent course and disclosing these fees in the Form 990.

SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 1	Endowment Funds: The Philadelphia Orchestra Association's (Association) consolidated audited financial statements include endowment funds that consist of endowment assets held by the Association and endowment assets held in trust at PNC. The financial data reported in Part V of Schedule D excludes that of the Trust since those endowment funds are set up as a separate trust organization that reports its own Form 990. The endowment funds, set up as a Trust, are held and administered by PNC Bank in the Philadelphia Orchestra Association Endowment (EIN: 23-6227203). The Association's Board of Directors can draw down revenue from the Trust pursuant to the application of the Board approved spending policy in accordance with Pennsylvania law and specific election by the Board. The draw is subject to all donor imposed restrictions. This draw-down is represented as a charitable contribution from the Endowment Fund on the Association's Form 990. The value of the Trust assets was $21,352,000 and $21,882,000 in FY16 and FY15, respectively.
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2	Fin 48 (ASC 740) Footnote Under provisions of the internal revenue code, section 501(C)(3), and the applicable income tax regulations of Pennsylvania, the association is exempt from taxes on income other than unrelated business income. The association recognizes or derecognizes a tax position based on a more likely than not threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The association does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any material uncertain tax positions. Any interest and penalties, if applicable, would be recorded in administrative expenses. The association is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations for years prior to the year ended August 31, 2013.

Board Members Sarah Miller Coulson, Robert Rechnitz and Putnam Coes III have a business relationship with each other and with Richard Worley. Board Members Joseph Field and John McFadden have a business relationship. Board Members Joseph Jacovini and Ajay Raju have a business relationship. Board Members Roberto Sella, Fabio Terlevich and Richard Worley have a business relationship. Additionally, Board Members, Richard Worley and Sarah Miller Coulson have a family relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Lines 6, 7A & 7B	Organizations Members/Stockholders: The membership of The Philadelphia Orchestra Association shall consist of life and annual members. Life members shall be those persons who on or before September 22, 1958 paid into the Endowment Fund or any other fund established by the Association not less than the sum of Five Hundred Dollars. Annual members shall consist of those persons (individual or corporate) who from time to time shall contribute to The Philadelphia Orchestra Association not less than such amount as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate as the amount of the contribution by which a person shall become a member. A member, by virtue of a contribution of not less than the amount thus fixed, shall be a member until the adjournment of the Annual Meeting next following the close of the fiscal year of the Association to the accounts of which the contribution was applied. In all elections and at all meetings of the Association each member of record on the tenth day preceding the date of an election or of a meeting shall be entitled to one vote and to notice of the election or meeting. Voting by members hall be in person or by proxy. The Board of Directors may from time to time establish classifications of members who are members by virtue of contributing to the association as provided for in this article and make available to such members such special privileges as the board may determine, depending upon the classification of membership.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11A	The Form 990 was prepared by an international accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's finance department. A copy of the Form 990 is circulated to the board before it is filed. However, Schedule B is redacted from the Form 990 before it is circulated to the Board to protect the identity of certain donors who wish to remain anonymous. As such, the organization has checked 'No' to Part VI, Question 11a. Schedule B will be made available to those board members who wish to inspect it individually.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C	The organization monitors and enforces compliance by following these procedures: 1. Any interested person has a duty to disclose the transaction or arrangement; 2. The interested person presents this potential conflict of interest to the Board/Committee; 3. The Board/Committee determines whether there is a conflict of interest; 4. Board/Committee/interested person follows predetermined procedures to address the issue if one exists; 5. The above will be recorded in the minutes of the meetings of the Board/Committee. Each director, officer and member of a committee with Board-delegated powers shall annually respond to a questionnaire and sign a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, d. Understands the Organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes; and e. Provides such information as the POA requires to prepare the POA's annual IRS form 990. Board members were requested to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire. The request was made multiple times, however not all board members or officers responded. The Organization feels that it has made a reasonable effort to disclose existing conflicts of interest.
Form 990, Part VI, Lines 13 and 14	Philadelphia Orchestra Association established whistleblower and document retention policies that are followed by the Association, as well as its subsidiaries.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15	The Philadelphia Orchestra association undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation it pays to its top management officials and all of its officers and key employees of the Association is reasonable given the market in which the Association operates. In relevant part, the Board of Directors has established a Human Resources Committee of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreements. With respect to the CEO, The H/R Committee Chair and several other independent members of the Board, including the Chair of the Board, contracted with a search firm to assist in the identification and selection of the CEO. The outcome of this process, including comparable compensation data, gathered by members of the Committee was presented to the full Board. Documents, emails and other writings created contemporaneously were used as the basis for the selection and compensation decisions. With respect to hiring and compensation decisions for other key personnel, the CEO contracted with a search firm to assist in the identification and selection of the key personnel. There is also a full-time Human Resources Department supporting this function and the Association receives regular compensation data in connection with its ongoing membership in The League of American Orchestra service organization. The outcome of this process, including comparable compensation data, gathered by the CEO with the assistance of the search firm was described to the independent Chair of the Human Resources Committee. Documents, emails and other writings created contemporaneously were used as the basis for the selection and compensation decisions.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19	The taxpayer makes its Form 990 and audited Financial Statements available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business and on its website at www.philorch.org. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org. The organization's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion.
