Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired. Contributed collection items are not reflected on the financial statements. Proceeeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. Part III, Line 4: The Museum's collections are made up of approximately 1.4 million objects of scientific and historical significance that are held for educational, research, scientific, and curatorial purposes. These items are cataloged, preserved, and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continously. The collections are subject to both accession and de-accession policies including a policy that requires proceeds from their sales to be used to support the Museum's collections. Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X: The Museum follows the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes accounting standard which requires the Museum to determine whether a tax position (and the related tax benefit) is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based solely on the technical merits of the position. The Museum believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are significant to the financial statements. The Museum's federal Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax (Form 990) for the previous three years are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
