| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 5 | THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING THE PERIODIC MONITORING, INSPECTION, HANDLING OF VIOLATIONS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IT HOLDS. |
| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 9 | A CONSERVATION EASEMENT IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN A LANDOWNER AND THE ORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE LANDOWNER RELINQUISHES SOME OR ALL OF THE RIGHTS TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY. THE EASEMENT IS PUBLICLY RECORDED AND IS BINDING ON ALL FUTURE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY. THE ORGANIZATION'S PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITY IS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT. IT MEETS THIS RESPONSIBILITY BY PERIODICALLY INSPECTING THE PROPERTY AND, IF NECESSARY, TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTION TO ENFORCE THE EASEMENT. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS RECEIVED BY THE ORGANIZATION ARE RECORDED AT A ZERO VALUE. EACH CONSERVATION EASEMENT RECEIVED BY THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES THAT IT CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY EXCEPT TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS QUALIFIED UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE TO RECEIVE EASEMENTS AND THAT HAS THE COMMITMENT, ABILITY, AND RESOURCES TO MEET ITS RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE EASEMENT AND TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO PROTECT THE HISTORIC AND CONSERVATION VALUES OF THE PROPERTY. ACCORDINGLY, THERE IS NO MARKET FOR ANY OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS RECEIVED BY THE ORGANIZATION. |

| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B | THE INITIAL DRAFTS OF FORM 990 ARE REVIEWED BY THE OFFICE MANAGER, THE TREASURER AND THE BOARD PRESIDENT WHERE ANY INITIAL CHANGES OR ADDITIONS ARE MADE. THESE CHANGES ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE 990 AND SUBSEQUENT DRAFTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND TREASURER. WHEN FINAL REVIEWS ARE COMPLETED THE 990 IS THEN GIVEN TO THE FULL BOARD FOR THEIR INFORMATION AND OR COMMENT IF ANY. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C | THE ORGANIZATION REQUIRES THAT IF ANY BOARD MEMBER (OR MEMBER OF ANY BOARD MEMBER'S FAMILY) IS INVOLVED IN AN EASEMENT THAT THE BOARD MEMBER BE RECUSED FROM THE DISCUSSION OF AND VOTE ON SUCH EASEMENT. AFTER THE EASEMENT IN QUESTION IS RESOLVED, THE BOARD MEMBER MAY RETURN TO ADDRESS OTHER BOARD BUSINESS ON THE AGENDA. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A | DATA FROM THE LAND TRUST ALLIANCE AS WELL AS THE SC NON-PROFIT COMPENSATION REPORT WAS USED. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15B | THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES AND NONE OF THE OFFICERS OR BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVES COMPENSATION. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 19 | GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. |
| FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9 | -5,096,751 TOTAL -5,096,751 DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015, THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED THE ZERO VALUATION APPROACH TO REPORTING CONSERVATION EASEMENTS FOR PURPOSES OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION, THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES, THE STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES AND THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS. THIS CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY WAS APPLIED RETROACTIVELY TO ALL PERIODS PRESENTED IN THE 2015 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RESULTING IN A DECREASE IN PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND TOTAL NET ASSETS OF APPROXIMATELY 5,096,751 AS OF JANUARY 1, 2013. PRIOR TO THIS CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY, THE ORGANIZATION RECORDED ITS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AT THE VALUE PAID TO ACQUIRE THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. THERE IS NO AUTHORITATIVE LITERATURE ON THE ACCOUNTING FOR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS RESULTING IN A DIVERSITY OF PRACTICE AMONG LAND TRUSTS. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT A MAJORITY OF LAND TRUSTS USE THE ZERO VALUATION METHOD. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THE ZERO VALUATION METHOD BETTER REFLECTS ITS FINANCIAL POSITION SINCE THE EASEMENTS DO NOT HAVE ANY FAIR MARKET VALUE IN THE HANDS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND, AS SUCH, PROVIDE NO MONETARY SUPPORT FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS. |
