Any earned conservation easement revenue not yet received is recorded as an account receivable on the statement of financial position. Not reporting collections (Part III, line 1a) The Society maintains a collection of historical artifacts, documents, pictures and other items that are held for public exhibition and education rather than for financial gain. These historical collection items are the most valuable assets of the society and they are protected, cared for and preserved.In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance historical colletion items acquired through purchase or donation are not capitalized on the statement of financial position. Contributions of historical collection items are not recognized in the statement of activities since it is generally impractical to determine a value on such items. Purchases of historical collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted, temporarily or permanently restricted net assets as appropriate. Endowment funds intended uses (Part V, line 4) The Society's permanently restricted net assets consist of endowments that were explicitly designated by the donor to be maintained in perpetuity. Under the terms of the contribution, and in connection with a board approved spending policy, investment earnings originating from the endowment funds are available for current operations. Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) The Society adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. This standard requires organizations to disclose quantitative and qualitative information in their financial statement about uncertain tax position. The Society's evaluation on December 31, 2014, revealed no tax positions that would have a meterial impact on the financial statements. The 2011-2013 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. The Society does not believe that any changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the financial statements.
