Pt X, Line 2The Society has adopted the application of the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes"). The primary tax positions made by the Organization are the existence/non-existence of Unrelated Business Income Tax and the Society's status as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Society currently evaluates all tax positions, and makes determinations regarding the likelihood of those positions being upheld under review. For the year presented, and as a result of adoption, the Society has not recognized any tax benefits or loss contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on its evaluations. The Society's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ending March 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for 3 years after they are filed.
Pt III, Line 4The Society's collection consists of historic buildings, works of art, historical artifacts, and furniture. The collections are maintained for public exhibition, education and research in furtherance of public service, rather than for financial gain.
Pt III, Line 1aIn conformity with accounting policies generally followed by museums, the value of the Society's collection has been excluded from the statement of financial position, and gifts of art objects are excluded from revenue in the statement of activities. Purchases of collections and art objects are recorded as other decreases in net assets per the financial statements and not included in Part IX Statement of Functional Expenses on the Form 990.
Pt V, Line 4Permanently restricted net assets are to be held in an endowment account and the income can be used for general purposes and for the conservation of collections. Board designated funds are funds generated from the sale of items several years ago to be held intact. Any accretions to the fund over and above that amount may be used by the Collections Committee for acquisitions to the collection or for care of the collection.
