Financial Statement Footnote	Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a	The Museum's permanent collections, which were acquired since the Museum's inception through purchases and contributions from benefactors, are not recognized as assets on the statements of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired, or as temporarily or permanently restricted net assets if the assets used to purchase the items are restricted by donors. Contributed collection items are not reflected in the financial statements. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. The Museum's collections are made up of artifacts of historical significance, scientific specimens and art objects that are held for educational, research, scientific and curatorial purposes. Each of the items is cataloged, preserved and cared for, and activities verifying the items' existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously.
Description of Organization's Collections	Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The Museum's collection - with almost 40,000 objects that showcase advances in science, industry and technology - serves to create spectacular exhibits and experiences that excite and inspire Museum guests and further the Museum's mission and vision. Remarkable artifacts in the collection include the 700-ton U-505 Submarine; a real United 727 airplane; the Pioneer Zephyr, the train that set the speed record in 1934; a British Spitfire WWII plane; a collection of carefully preserved human anatomical slices and fetuses; and much more. The museum's collections are designed to spark scientific inquiry and creativity to motivate children to achieve their full potential in science, technology, medicine and engineering in furtherance of the museum's exempt purpose.
Intended Uses of Endowment Funds	Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The organization's endowment funds are meant to serve as a source of financial support of the Museum's mission. A portion of annual endowment earnings are used to support Museum general operations. Earnings are directed to specific elements of the Museum's operations as directed by donor restrictions on respective contributions to the endowment.
Liability for Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740)	Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The Museum has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Museum is exempt from income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements as the Museum's unrelated business taxable income was offset by unrelated business loss carryovers in both years. There are no tax positions for which a material change in any unrecognized tax benefit liability is reasonably possible in the next 12 months. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the statement of financial position or statement of activities and changes in net assets. The tax years ended 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes.

Explanation	David E. Donovan, a trustee of MSI, is a CO-CEO of Chase Capital Corporation. MSI's transactions with JP Morgan are done in terms similar to those given to the general public. The conflict exists in that Mr. Donovan is a member of the Finance Committee, which approves all financial matters of MSI including banking. To resolve this conflict Mr. Donovan does not participate in discussions regarding the relationship with JP Morgan Chase and excuses himself when the Finance Committee is voting on financial matters related to MSI and JP Morgan Chase. Timothy P. Maloney, a Trustee of MSI, is an Illinois president of Bank of America. MSI transactions with Bank of America are done in terms similar to those given to the general public. There is no conflict since Mr. Maloney does not belong to any committee of the board which votes on financial matters related to MSI and Bank of America nor does his position have any bearing on the relationship. William L. Morrison, a trustee of MSI, is president and COO of Northern Trust Bank. Northern Trust provides banking, asset/treasury management, and commercial lending for MSI. These services are provided in the same terms as those given to the general public. There is no conflict since Mr. Morrison does not belong to any committee of the board which votes on matters related to the Northern Trust nor does his position have any bearing on the relationship.

Form 990 Review Process	Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b	The Museum's 990 is prepared by an external public accounting firm, who provides drafts for internal review. After the internal review, these drafts are updated, and a final draft is reviewed by the Chairman of the Audit Committee and is made available to the trustees electronically for their review, prior to electronically filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement	Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c	The Museum formally sends a conflict of interest questionnaire annually to trustees, officers, and certain management employees. The Museum's Compliance Officer reviews the results of the questionnaires, and investigates any reported potential conflicts for resolution as necessary.
Process for Determining Compensation	Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a	The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees and approves the compensation for the Executive Staff of the Museum. Individual performance is evaluated by established goals and objectives which support MSI's mission. These goals and objectives are reviewed annually as part of the Museum's Performance Management Process. The process consists of: 1. The process is evaluated during the Fall Compensation Committee Meeting. 2. The Human Resources department obtains and reviews benchmarked data to ensure Executive Compensation remains competitive within the industry. As needed, a third party consultant may be engaged to complete an Executive Remuneration study. A detailed analysis is reviewed by the Director of Human Resources, the CFO and CEO of the Museum and a recommendation is prepared for the Compensation Committee. 3. The Compensation Committee reviews the Executive Compensation recommended and suggests modifications where appropriate. 4. Each year, MSI management determines if merit increases will be awarded to Museum staff.
Forms Available for Public Inspection	Form 990, Part VI, Line 18	The museum posted a copy of 2011 form 990 in its website and made copies of 2009, 2010, 2011 form 990 and 990T publicly available upon request. As the museum filed the application for recognition of exemption, form 1023 before July 15, 1987, it need not be made publicly available.
How Documents are Made Available to the Public	Form 990, Part VI, Line 19	The Museum Annual Report and the financial statements are available to the public via the Museum's website and upon request, respectively. The Museum Annual Report and the financial statements are available to the public via the Museum's website and upon request, respectively.
Restatement of Audited Financial Statement	Form 990, part X, balance sheet, column(A), beginning of year	Subsequent to the issuance of the Museum's 2011 financial statements, management became aware that there were net assets related to the capital campaign that were not appropriately released from restrictions when related expenses were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011. This resulted in an understatement of the 2011 release from restrictions of $7,328,128, with a related understatement of ending unrestricted net assets and overstatement of temporarily restricted net assets at December 31, 2011. Consequently, certain amounts have been restated for the year ended and at December 31, 2011.
