Part X, Line 2: WWF adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (now codified as ASC 740-10), on July 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The implementation of FIN 48 had no impact on the WWF's financial statements. WWF does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. WWF has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, WWF has filed Internal Revenue Service Form 990 and Form 990-T tax returns as required and all other applicable returns in those jurisdictions where it is required. WWF believes that it is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in the statements of activities. Part XI, Line 4B - Other Adjustments Gain on Debt Swap 98,432.

STATES: All grant agreement documents have payment provisions and terms and conditions for use of funds. Payments are made in incremental amounts for grants above $25,000 based on the cash flow needs and progress of the recipient. After the initial payment, all subsequent payments are made after receipt, review, and acceptance of signed financial and technical reports from the grantees. Final payments are made upon receipt and acceptance of final deliverables. All agreements, receipt of deliverables, and payments are tracked using a database designed for tracking of grants. All payments are documented in the accounting system. Grantee can only receive more funding than was in the original agreement budget through the issuance of an amendment document. For all government funded agreements, an expanded financial report is required from the Grantees. This includes monitoring adherence to donor requirements with emphasis on adherence to procurement requirements; use of equipment, timesheets, and separate bank accounts if required. For high risk grantees, additional monitoring requirements are employed as applicable, such as copies of general ledgers, receipts, bank reconciliations, and site visits. Grantees receiving more than $100,000 are required to submit an annual (outside) audit. Grantees receiving government funding are subject to additional donor requirements, including project audits or expense verifications. If Grantees are subject to an OMB A-133 audit, WWF seeks confirmation of an unqualified audit opinion. If there are findings, a corrective action plan is developed in collaboration with the Grantee and monitored for improvement; documentation is required as needed.

Amounts deferred under this Plan are subject to vesting periods established by terms of awards. Payments of 457(f) benefits are contingent on completion of future services or other requirements and are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. While deferral amounts are fixed, and not contingent on organizational net earnings or other financial performance metrics, earnings allocations are made to deferrals with reference to the annual return percentage (positive or negative) of WWF's Board Designated Reserves investment portfolio for the prior fiscal year. In calendar year 2014, deferrals were made to bookkeeping accounts for C. Roberts, in the amount of $125,000, plus accrued interest on an earlier deferral of $19,625.00; for J. Clay, in the amount of $62,500, plus accrued interest on an earlier deferral of $9,812.50; and for M. Marsh, in the amount of $90,000. These deferrals are included in Part II, Column C, "Retirement and Other Deferred Compensation." No payments have been made from WWF's 457(f) Plan.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 and Part III, Line 1: Description of Organization Mission: For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The WWF Network, of which WWF is a part, works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.1 million members in the United States and close to 6 million worldwide. WWF's unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature. Vision - Our vision is to build a future in which people and nature thrive. Mission - WWF's mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. Goal and Strategies By 2020, WWF will conserve many of the world's most ecologically important regions by working in partnership with others to: * Protect and restore species and their habitats * Strengthen local communities' ability to conserve the natural resources they depend upon * Transform markets and policies to reduce the impact of the production and consumption of commodities * Ensure that the value of nature is reflected in decisions made by individuals, communities, governments and businesses * Mobilize hundreds of millions of people to support conservation FORM 990, PART III - GENERAL FY15 Results for 990 The WWF Network, of which World Wildlife Fund (WWF-US) is a part, has for over 50 years protected the future of nature. WWF works in over 100 countries and is supported by over 1.1 million members in the United States. In FY14, WWF-US, as part of a strategic update, organized its work around 6 goals, which focus on the most urgent threats facing the planet and align with goals of the wider WWF Network. Listed below are a few selected examples of results from WWF's work in FY15, accomplishments which would not be possible without the commitment of WWF's staff and supporters worldwide: - WWF is engaging key government stakeholders around a US policy of legality and traceability - include catch documentation, full chain traceability ad verification - to prevent illegally-sourced fish (seafood) from entering the US marketplace. In December of 2014, a presidential panel - comprising of more than a dozen federal agencies - proposed a plan aimed at curbing black-market fishing and the sale of falsely labeled seafood. WWF's next step is working to turn the recommendations into effective regulations and rigorous enforcement to thwart illegal fishing around the world, ensuring that all seafood sold in the US is traceable to legal sources. - In partnership with the private sector, WWF is defining better management practices in the trade and production of key commodities like palm oil. In July 2014, the company strengthened its efforts with a powerful policy that aims for zero deforestation and a transparent supply chain. With these actions and more, the Company is on track to achieve its goal of 100 percent responsibly produced palm oil by 2020. - With assistance from WWF, the government of Nepal increased guards in protected areas, trained and equipped rangers for anti-poaching patrols, and engaged local communities in conservation. The country is a model of wildlife conservation - twice achieving a full year with zero poaching (2011 and 2013), and in February 2015 hosting the world's first symposium focused on getting Asian governments to commit to turning the tide on poaching. - In May of 2015, WWF-China and WWF-US - in collaboration with the private sector - announced a groundbreaking project to catalyze responsible forestry and trade in China. Our organizations are helping China reduce its environmental footprint by producing paper products from responsibly managed forests within its own borders. - With our partners at the University of Maryland, WWF is gathering status and trends for Colombia's Orinoco River Basin - a globally important wetland and freshwater resource being managed at the river basin scale - and sharing a report card that will help drive improvements in policy, management and public behavior. To develop the Orinoco report card, we are engaging local fishers, farmers, industry and others to understand and prioritize issues that are most important to the people who depend on the healthy river basin. The next step will be to take the pilot from local to global and develop a scalable process that can be adapted in river basins around the world. - WWF and the World Resources Institute recognized the need for clearer renewable energy buying guideline and convened leading U.S. companies to create the Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers' Principles, which frame common challenges and needs faced by major renewable energy buyers. Forty-four corporate signatories developed the principles in an unprecedented collaboration with WWF and WRI. WWF is working with businesses to set strong goals that result in billions of kilowatt hours of renewable energy demand, track progress against goals, and create solutions to help renewable energy buyers and utility providers meet the demand. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a-d, Program Services: Line 4a, Global Conservation: WWF works to protect and restore species and their habitats, strengthen local communities' ability to conserve the natural resources they depend upon and transform markets and policies to reduce the impact of the production and consumption of commodities. Our aim is to ensure that the value of nature is reflected in investments and decisions made by individuals, communities, governments and businesses. A science-based and results oriented conservation organization, the WWF Network works in over 100 countries to fulfill its mission to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. WWF strives to accomplish this mission by achieving six programmatic goals: Climate, Forests, Freshwater, Oceans, Sustainable Food, and Wildlife. Line 4b, Policy: WWF works to strengthen public policy related to international biodiversity conservation through analysis and advocacy on conservation issues, international funding and lending programs, international agreements, and global environmental and development policies and practices. WWF is also working to strengthen the international regime to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions, assess climate changes impacts, undertake research and develop strategies to improve the resiliency of ecosystems to climate change, and improve energy efficiency in targeted sectors. Line 4c, Market transformation: WWF partners with corporations, government agencies, NGOs, universities and research institutes to reduce the impact of the production and trade of commodities that most affect our conservation priorities. Our goal is to measurably reduce the most significant impacts of individual actors as well as entire industries. Line 4d, Other Program Services: Public Education - WWF educates the American public on nature's value and the importance of conservation through a variety of marketing and communications channels - from our award winning public service announcements, our website and mobile apps, earned media, our signature publication World Wildlife magazine, to annual international events such as Earth Hour and innovative strategic partnerships that educate the consumer. With 1.1 million members in the United States and 6 million supporters globally, the WWF Network, of which WWF is a part, is working to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to support conservation. Form 990, Part V, Line 3b, Form 990-T filing: Due to differing fiscal years of investment holdings in pass-through entities that include UBIT reported on WWF's Form 990-T, there are delays in receiving the necessary Forms K-1 for the tax period. The Form 990-T is filed at a later date to ensure the most current and accurate information is included. It is filed within the six-month extension allowed, no later than May 15, 2016.

The draft is reviewed by the CEO and Chief Operations Officer. The Chief Financial Officer reviews the 990 with the Chair of the Board's Audit Committee, after which, and prior to filing, the 990 is made available to our full Board of Directors for review. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c: Each director and staff member is provided with a copy of WWF's conflict of interest policy and annually signs an acknowledgement of the policy and discloses potential conflicts of interest. WWF's conflict of interest policy is also provided to all new directors and employees at the start of their association with WWF; is included in the WWF board handbook and in board and staff orientation materials; is available to all staff on WWF's intranet site; and is featured at periodic staff trainings. In addition to the annual acknowledgement and disclosure, the policy provides that all directors and staff must disclose potential conflicts of interest at the earliest possible juncture and before the organization takes action relating to any issue in which there is a potential conflict. Potential conflicts involving directors are raised with the chairman of the board, and the board (or executive committee acting in its stead) reviews the facts of each situation and makes a genuine and independent determination of what action is in WWF's best interests, i.e., if a potential conflict exists, whether it can be fully and satisfactorily addressed or whether the transaction must be abandoned. The board member with the potential conflict is not present during discussion and takes no part in decisions relating to the matter. Potential conflicts involving staff members are raised with WWF's president, who reviews the facts of each situation and determines, if a potential conflict exists, whether it can be fully and satisfactorily addressed or whether the transaction must be abandoned. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15: Prior to any increases in salary or payments of additional compensation, (such as bonuses), to a "disqualified person", the Executive Committee of the WWF Board of Directors reviews the performance of that individual and the relevant market data for compensation of the position. The interested individual is not present and takes no part in the discussion. WWF closely observes the IRS' "intermediate sanctions" process in conducting the review, and obtains an assessment of compensation from an external compensation professional services firm. All board members are invited to participate in the Executive Committee's review and are apprised of outcomes.
