THE SOCIETY PROVIDES AN ENJOYABLE FAMILY EXPERIENCE THAT FOSTERS UNDERSTANDING, RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR WILDLIFE. THE SOCIETY'S SUPPORT COMES PRIMARILY FROM INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS, FOUNDATION GRANTS, REGIONAL SUPPORT AND OPERATIONS. 0 0 13919379 41880 8448517 THE ZOO IS OPEN EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR EXCEPT CHRISTMAS DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY AND NEW YEAR'S DAY. WE HOST NUMEROUS EVENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL GROUPS, AND ARE 100% ACCESSIBLE. IN 2012, 944,986 INDIVIDUALS VISITED THE ZOO. TO INCREASE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND INTEREST, THE ZOO CONDUCTS SPECIAL EVENTS AND PROMOTIONS GEARED TOWARD THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FAMILIES, SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS AND ZOO MEMBERS. THESE EVENTS ARE CENTERED AROUND THE ZOO'S PRIMARY PURPOSES - EDUCATION, CONSERVATION AND RECREATION. THE ZOO ALSO HOSTS A NUMBER OF EVENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL GROUPS. PARTICIPANTS ENJOYED THE ZOO'S POPULAR EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CLASSES, AND TEACHER WORKSHOPS. ZOOMOBILES MADE NUMEROUS APPEARANCES AT COMMUNITY FAIRS, MALLS, AND OUTLETS TO PROMOTE THE ZOO'S MANY CONSERVATION-EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THE ZOO PARTNERED WITH LOCAL VENDORS TO OFFER ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS AND CREATE MORE WAYS TO SERVE MORE STUDENTS. MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS WERE OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE. THE ZOO HOSTED PUBLIC SPECIAL EVENT DAYS OR NIGHTS, INCLUDING ELEPHANT DAY, ZOO BOO, A 5K RACE, NEW BABY CELEBRATIONS, AND THE NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY AT NOON. DREAM NIGHT, A SUCCESSFUL SPECIAL EVENT WAS STARTED IN 2006 WHERE THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH, KIDS WITH DISABILITIES WERE INVITED TO A COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE ZOO VISIT. THESE PROGRAMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND GROW IN THE COMING YEARS. IN ORDER TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL MEANS, THE ZOO DESIGNATES FREE DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER SPECIAL PROMOTIONS DURING THE YEAR OFFERING DISCOUNTED ADMISSION. PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY OR EMOTIONALLY CHALLENGED PERSONS ARE GRANTED FREE ADMISSION ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. GROUPS SERVING THE DISADVANTAGED ARE OFFERED FREE ADMISSION TO THE ZOO THROUGH OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. DURING THE PAST TWELVE YEARS, THE KIDSCIENCE PROJECT HAS PROVIDED PITTSBURGH AREA MIDDLE-SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES DESIGNED TO PROPEL FUTURE SCIENTISTS INTO THE FOREFRONT OF REAL ANIMAL BEHAVIOR RESEARCH. KIDSCIENCE STUDENTS HAVE HAD A REAL AND MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON MANY OF THE ZOO'S RESEARCH PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE WORK THAT LED TO THE BIRTH OF OUR ELEPHANT CALVES. FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS DO NOT IMPACT PARTICIPATION AND THE ZOO HAS AWARDED OVER 190 NEEDS-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS TO QUALIFIED STUDENTS SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1999. THE ZOO CONTINUES TO WORK WITH A HOST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE AT-RISK YOUTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE AND ON-THE-JOB LEARNING IN VIABLE POSITIONS AT THE ZOO. THE ZOO CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE LARGEST YOUTH EMPLOYERS IN THE REGION. THE PITTSBURGH ZOO'S POPULAR ZOO CAMP SUMMER PROGRAM CONTINUES TO SET RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE LEVELS. THE ZOO IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF THIS PROGRAM. THE ZOO OFFERS INTERNSHIPS IN ALL AREAS OF THE FACILITY, INCLUDING THE MARKETING, ANIMAL, EDUCATION, VETERINARY AND HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENTS. FOR MANY DECADES, THE ZOO'S ZOO TEEN PROGRAM HAS BEEN PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEENS AGES 14-17 TO WORK AT THE ZOO DURING THE SUMMER. 13919379 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 54 0 1 489 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 56 56 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 PA X X JACQUELINE VINCUNAS 4123652510 ONE WILD PLACE PITTSBURGH PA 152061178 LEONARD F BACH 1.00 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY B BORNTRAEGER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GLENN E BOST II 1.00 X 0 0 0 DOROTHY BOYER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOUISE R BROWN 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD BRUSCHI 1.00 X 0 0 0 WARREN BULSECO 1.00 X 0 0 0 TRACY BYHAM 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL B CAROSELLI 2.00 X 0 0 0 GARY R CLAUS 2.00 X 0 0 0 G HENRY COOK 1.00 X 0 0 0 JACK DEMOS 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK DOWD 1.00 X 0 0 0 COLETTE DUGAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOAN ELLENBOGEN 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA E ELLSWORTH 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM FALLON 2.00 X 0 0 0 JACK FRIEDMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN ROCHE GALEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD GONCZ 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRANK HORRIGAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA B HUMPHREY 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORNA H IRVIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIUS JONES 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD D KALSON ESQ 2.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA P KEEVICAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS M KUBLACK 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL C LAROCCO 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK LOUGHNEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH C MCCRORY 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTINE MCGINLEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE MERRILL 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MICLOT 1.00 X 0 0 0 HENRY MORDOH 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA MURPHY 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID NEWELL 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN T PAYNE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID PORGES 1.00 X 0 0 0 RITA RANDALL 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUKE RAVENSTAHL 1.00 X 0 0 0 J ERIC RENNER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DONALD E RHOTEN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JILL SANDILLA 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARA SCAIFE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES C STALDER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS STIRLING 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSETTE G STONE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY TORBIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY A WEINGART 2.00 X 0 0 0 SALLY WIGGIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 STUART T WISE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT T WOODINGS III 1.00 X 0 0 0 BEVERLYNN ELLIOTT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 F BROOKS ROBINSON JR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL STEPHEN FERGUSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY B STILLSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 BARBARA BAKER 40.00 X 277675 0 27832 JACQUELINE VINCUNAS 40.00 X 92745 0 10077 FRANK CARTIERI 40.00 X 105574 0 20253 475994 0 58162 2 0 1 0 MASCARO CONSTRUCTION CO LP 1720 METROPOLITAN STREET PITTSBURGH PA 15233 CONSTRUCTION 2270621 A TASTE OF THE WILD 4699 MARION STREET DENVER CO 802162118 CATERING 528139 MULLEN ADVERTISING PO BOX 7247-7279 PHILADELPHIA PA 191707279 ADVERTISING 450777 FIREDEX OF PITTSBURGH 4030 WILLIAM FLYNN HWY ALLISON PARK PA 151013002 FIRE RESTORATION 136359 VECTOR SECURITY PO BOX 89462 CLEVELAND OH 441016462 SECURITY 123131 6 22117 2245662 167160 3609500 4875868 11686 10920307 ADMISSIONS 900099 5911850 5911850 VISITOR SERVICES 900099 1567459 1567459 EDUCATION 900099 969208 969208 8448517 1509 1509 10635 0 10635 10635 10635 452075 167160 182208 269867 269867 19650835 8448517 0 282011 41880 41880 408329 330746 65333 12250 28184 20011 8173 6237687 5057493 896426 283768 404540 323494 60542 20504 1312375 1076389 183251 52735 593836 486946 83137 23753 41985 41985 46528 46528 29288 29288 328296 210926 113845 3525 700431 700431 2017132 1507077 448469 61586 1384158 1365647 17757 754 82041 60944 17941 3156 6865 6865 90736 24488 66248 2003552 1980318 13940 9294 273030 273030 ENTERTAINMENT 147332 63840 17889 65603 SECURITY 137132 137132 PUBLICATIONS 107118 95598 1805 9715 ANIMAL ACQUISITION 83345 83345 143918 72779 62348 8791 16649718 13919379 2174905 555434 521934 169236 97381 85588 784283 343029 13280 210570 188135 177543 71112189 19604282 49927844 51507907 51532857 52493873 2221875 1591833 3400000 3000000 3229613 2219554 8851488 6811387 X 42273440 45032692 357929 595304 50000 54490 42681369 45682486 51532857 52493873 3001117 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 10388774 8237215 10385817 9486606 10758827 49257239 10388774 8237215 10385817 9486606 10758827 49257239 2958704 46298535 -55655 98844 13899 417779 284082 758949 50016188 40864641 0.92570 0.90130 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 29288 29288 16620430 16649718 982486 245622 0 0 948518 987891 982486 2918895 4378343 71853 88384 29288 189525 237130 246973 245622 729725 1094588 X 1 724.00 0 0 1 0 20.00 1000 1 X X X X CONSERVATION 0 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 1.00000 0 0 1898743 1898743 59980977 14136555 45844422 5950411 3663267 2287144 3282058 1804460 1477598 51507907 X 19833043 182208 182208 19650835 0 19650835 16831926 182208 182208 16649718 0 16649718 EXPLANATION OF EASEMENTS ENFORCEMENT POLICIES: PART II, LINE 5: THE PITTSBURGH ZOO & PPG AQUARIUM CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING THE PERIODIC MONITORING, INSPECTION, VIOLATIONS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IT HOLDS. ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS, THE ORGANIZATION DOES REVIEW ANY PROGRAM CHANGE OR DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY WITH THE HOLDER OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THE PROPERTY IS COMPLETELY ENCLOSED BY A PERIMETER FENCE AND ALL PROGRAMMING IS CONSERVATION ORIENTED. DESCRIPTION OF HOW ORGANIZATION REPORTS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS: PART II, LINE 9: THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF PITTSBURGH WITH AN ADDRESS AT ONE WILD PLACE, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA 15206-1178 GRANTED A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGAINST THE PROPERTY (PARCEL OF LAND IN SOMERSET COUNTY) IN THE FORM OF A PERPETUAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN SOMERSET COUNTY, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 724 ACRES. THERE IS ONLY ONE CONSERVATION EASEMENT WHICH WAS HELD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THERE WERE NO ADDITIONS DURING THE COURSE OF 2012. THERE WERE MINIMAL STAFF HOURS AND NO LEGAL EXPENSES DEVOTED TO MONITORING AND ENFORCING THE EXISTING EASEMENT DURING THE TAX YEAR. EXPENSES ARE CAPTURED UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. THE LAND THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT IS RECORDED ON THE BALANCE SHEET OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PART III, LINE 1A: ANIMAL AND HORTICULTURAL COLLECTION - COLLECTIONS ARE OWNED BY THE SOCIETY AND ARE NOT CAPITALIZED. COSTS OF PURCHASING COLLECTION ITEMS AND PROCEEDS FROM SALES ARE RECOGNIZED IN THE YEAR OF ACQUISITION OR SALE. PART III, LINE 4: TODAY THE ZOO IS HOME TO MORE THAN 892 SPECIES AND 15,996 SPECIMENS, MANY THREATENED OR ENDANGERED. EACH OF OUR ZOO RESIDENTS ACTS AS AN AMBASSADOR OF ITS SPECIES TO ALL WHO VISIT THE PITTSBURGH ZOO & PPG AQUARIUM. EVERY SPECIES HAS A STORY TO TELL AND OUR ANIMAL AMBASSADORS DO A GREAT JOB OF WELCOMING, EDUCATING, AND CONNECTING WITH OUR VISITORS. THE ZOO'S PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FOLLOW THE FOUR PRONGS OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT: CONSERVATION EDUCATION, CONSERVATION, RESEARCH, AND FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT. CONSERVATION EDUCATION: THE ZOO CONDUCTS A HOST OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ARE EXPERIENCED BY MORE THAN 300,000 STUDENTS OF ALL AGES. THESE PROGRAMS ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO IDENTIFY CLOSER WITH WILDLIFE, PLANTS AND THEIR HABITATS TO PROVIDE A FIRM UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF ALL LIVING THINGS. THE ZOO CONDUCTS FORMAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, TWO OF WHICH ARE LEARNING ADVENTURES AND KID SCIENCE/ZOO U. LEARNING ADVENTURES BRINGS STUDENT GROUPS TO THE ZOO OR SENDS A ZOOMOBILE TO HOME SCHOOLS FOR THE PRESENTATION OF CLASSES FOR EACH AGE LEVEL THROUGH COLLEGE. THE CLASSES ARE AS BASIC FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS AS MEETING SMALL, LIVE ANIMALS, AND AS ADVANCED FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AS DISCUSSING PRIMATES AS AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL SUBJECT. CONSERVATION: EVERY EXHIBIT IN THE ZOO IS PART OF OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY, THE ZOO HOUSES AND EXHIBITS 21 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES AND PARTICIPATES IN MORE THAN 45 A.Z.A. MANAGED ANIMAL PROGRAMS GOVERNED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS. THE A.Z.A. MANAGED ANIMAL PROGRAMS DECIDE WHICH ZOOS WILL BREED WHICH ANIMALS WITHIN A GIVEN SPECIES, BASED ON AVAILABLE FACILITIES, EXPERTISE, GENETICS OF THE ANIMALS AND NEED WITHIN THE U.S. CAPTIVE COLLECTION, AMONG OTHER CRITERIA. THE ZOO ALSO PARTICIPATES IN A.Z.A. MANAGED ANIMAL PROGRAMS FOR COTTON-TOP TAMARINS, WESTERN LOWLAND GORILLAS, AND AFRICAN ELEPHANTS, AMONG OTHER SPECIES. THE ZOO CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WAY IN IMPROVING THE BREEDING POTENTIAL OF THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT POPULATION IN US ACCREDITED ZOOS BY ACQUIRING NEW BLOODLINES THROUGH IMPORTATIONS FROM ABROAD. IN 2012, THREE FEMALE AFRICAN ELEPHANTS FROM BOTSWANA ARRIVED AT THE ZOOS INTERNATIONAL CONSERVATION CENTER IN SOMERSET, AS WELL AS A NEW MALE FROM GERMANY. ALL WERE ADDED TO THE EXISTING HERDS TO ENHANCE FUTURE BREEDING POTENTIAL. THE INFUSION OF NEW GENETICS TO THE US POPULATION ALONG WITH ACCOMPANYING RESEARCH, CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION WILL CONTINUE THE ZOOS LEADERSHIP IN AFRICAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION AND CAPTIVE BIRTHS. THE ZOO ALSO PARTICIPATES IN PROJECT SECORE (SEXUAL CORAL REPRODUCTION) WHICH IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE LEADING CORAL SCIENTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND PUBLIC AQUARIUM PROFESSIONALS TO RESTORE ENDANGERED CORAL REEFS AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CORAL REEFS TO THE WORLD'S OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS. RESEARCH: THE ZOO HAS PLANTED A GREEN ROOF ATOP THE WATER'S EDGE BUILDING, AND HAS CONDUCTED A STUDY OF WHICH PLANTS WILL THRIVE AND WHICH WILL NOT UNDER ROOF TOP CONDITIONS. THE DATA COLLECTED HELPS THE REGION'S ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND HORTICULTURALISTS DECIDE WHAT TO PLANT ON THEIR GREEN ROOFS. GREEN ROOFS HELP TO CONSERVE ENERGY AND STORM-WATER RUNOFF. AS OUR SOCIETY INCREASES ITS EFFORTS TO GO GREEN, GREEN ROOFS WILL DOMINATE THE LANDSCAPE, AND THE ZOO WILL HELP ELIMINATE THE TRIAL-AND-ERROR PROCESS OF DECIDING THE BEST PALETTE OF VEGETATION. FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT: THE ZOO IS THE MOST VISITED CULTURAL ATTRACTION IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA REGION, SURPASSING THE ONE MILLION-VISITOR MARK IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR (1,033,535) IN 2009. ANNUAL ATTENDANCE IN 2011 WAS 882,494 AND 944,986 IN 2012. MANY FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO THAT ATTENDANCE SUCCESS, INCLUDING A VERY STRONG CONSERVATION EDUCATION PROGRAM. HOWEVER, VISITORS COME TO THE ZOO TO VIEW THE ZOO'S TREMENDOUS COLLECTION OF RARE ANIMALS AND EXCITING EXHIBITS. THE ZOO'S LARGEST ANCHOR EXHIBIT, WATER'S EDGE, HOUSES AND EXHIBITS POLAR BEARS, SEA OTTERS, AND SAND TIGER SHARKS IN A SETTING THAT REPLICATES AN ALASKAN COASTAL FISHING VILLAGE. WE PROVIDE OUR VISITORS WITH A NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING VIEWS OF THE ANIMALS THROUGH 14 LARGE WINDOWS, BUT THE MOST SPECTACULAR VIEW IS FROM BELOW. WATER'S EDGE CONTAINS TWO UNDERWATER TUNNELS, ONE THROUGH THE POLAR BEAR POOL AND ONE THROUGH THE SAND TIGER SHARK POOL, THAT PROVIDE UNCOMMON VIEWS OF THE ANIMALS THROUGH A SEAMLESS ACRYLIC WINDOW THAT SURROUNDS VISITORS. WATER'S EDGE ALSO HAS A FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOW WHERE VISITORS CAN SEE THE BELOW-THE-SURFACE AREA OF SEA OTTER COVE. HERE VISITORS CAN OBSERVE THE OTTERS GLIDE EFFORTLESSLY THROUGH THEIR POOL IN THEIR OWN WATER BALLET. OF COURSE, THE ZOO IS BURSTING WITH OTHER EXCITING EXHIBITS AS WELL. THE TIGER ENCOUNTER WINDOW OFTEN BRINGS THE TIGERS NOSE-TO-NOSE WITH VISITORS, SEPARATED ONLY BY THE GLASS. VISITORS GET TO SEE THE MEMBERS OF THE ELEPHANT HERD INTERACT IN THE ELEPHANT FAMILY ROOM. VISITORS CAN TOUR THE ONLY PUBLIC AQUARIUM IN PENNSYLVANIA AS PART OF THEIR ADMISSION TO THE ZOO. THE PPG AQUARIUM IS FILLED WITH AQUATIC LIFE FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE, INCLUDING A PENGUIN COLLECTION MADE UP OF THREE DIFFERENT SPECIES. OUR COMMITMENT TO EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WILDLIFE AND WILD PLACES IS EVIDENT IN THE COMPASSIONATE AND NURTURING MANNER IN WHICH OUR WILDLIFE IS CARED FOR. WE REALIZE THAT SOME OF OUR VISITORS WOULD LIKE MORE THAN JUST A LOOK AT THE ANIMALS, SO OUR EXHIBITS HAVE GRAPHICS AND INTERPRETIVES THAT TELL ABOUT AN ANIMAL'S LIFE CYCLE, PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, THREATS IN THE WILD. OUR ZOO STAFF STRIVES TO IMPROVE THE LIFE EXPERIENCES OF ANIMALS AND PROMOTE NATURAL BEHAVIORS WITH SPECIALIZED ACTIVITIES. OUR KEEPERS ARE AVAILABLE AT POSTED TIMES TO SHED EVEN MORE LIGHT ON THEIR CHARGES, AND AT TIMES, THEY SHOWCASE THE ANIMALS' BEHAVIORS WITH ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES. SINCE 1898, THE PITTSBURGH ZOO & PPG AQUARIUM HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY SUCCESSFUL AT PROVIDING THIS REGION WITH UNIQUE, CUTTING-EDGE OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCOVER AND APPRECIATE WILDLIFE. DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: PART V, LINE 4: THE $50,000 PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED GRANT CAME FROM A DONOR IN MARCH OF 2005 AS A START UP GRANT TO FUND AN ENDOWMENT TO SUPPORT GENERAL OPERATIONS SPENDING. DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X, LINE 2: INCOME TAXES - THE SOCIETY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE RELATIVE TO UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH PRESCRIBES A MINIMUM RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY THAT A TAX POSITION TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN IS REQUIRED TO MEET BEFORE BEING RECOGNIZED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ADOPTION OF THE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE DID NOT HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE SOCIETY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SOCIETY IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2009.
