DescriptionAnimal Care: The Philadelphia Zoo provides care to a collection of more than 2,615 mostly endangered and exotic animals. In 2011, the Philadelphia Zoo's McNeil Avian Center was awarded the Significant Achievement Award by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in the Exhibit Award category. This successful exhibit encapsulates our mission to use direct, intimate connections with animals to motivate concern and action toward their preservation. However, the Philadelphia Zoo does more than simply exhibit animals. We are part of a greater mission to help create national zoo conservation and breeding programs for endangered species that will maintain healthy, self-sustaining populations that are both genetically diverse and demographically stable.

DescriptionEducation and Conservation Programming: One of the most important ways that the Philadelphia Zoo connects with its visitors is through dynamic education and conservation programming. For over 150 years, America's first zoo has been helping guests learn more about animals from around the world, their habitats, and the environment we share. By providing engaging, up-close and personal educational experiences for people of all ages, the Zoo is hard at work connecting its visitors with the wonders of the natural world. The Philadelphia Zoo's conservation program has one of the broadest reaches in the greater Philadelphia area, sharing critical conservation messages with more than one million people annually. At today's Philadelphia Zoo, the commitment to conservation extends through all program areas and is dedicated to conservation not only in our community, but around the world.

Collections of Art, Historical Treasurers or other similar assetsForm 990, Schedule D, Part IIILine 1B(ii) - Exhibits are capitalized as unrestricted net assets, which are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Purchased additions to the animal and horticultural collections are expensed, as acquired. Additions to these collections acquired other than by purchase are not assigned a value and are not accounted for in the accounts of the Zoo. The amount reported on line 1b(ii) reflects the value of the exhibits, net of accumulated depreciation, at fiscal year-end. Line 4 - The Zoological Society of Philadelphia (the "Zoo") is a private not-for-profit corporation established in 1859 and opened in 1874. The Zoo, which is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), acquires, maintains and disposes of its collection in accordance with the AZA and the United States Department of Agriculture regulations. The animal collection of the Zoo is comprised of approximately 2,615 specimens and 336 species. The Zoo also maintains an extensive horticultural collection. In recent years, the Philadelphia Zoo has made significant investments in animal exhibits, including the McNeil Avian Center, Treetop Trail and the Great Ape Trail. These capital projects, in conjunction with the current construction of KidZooU: Hamilton Family Children's Zoo and Faris Family Education Center and the Centennial Intermodal Transportation Center, will have successfully addressed the Zoo's need to renovate all of its major animal buildings and facilities. The board of directors recognized that this achievement presented an opportunity to create a new vision for the Philadelphia Zoo's future physical development. In response, the Philadelphia Zoo has developed an innovative plan that will not only transform the Zoo, using its 42-acre footprint as an advantage, but also has the potential to serve as a model for zoos into the future. This plan, termed the Transformation Plan, is characterized by several key concepts, including zoo-wide animal rotations, flexible operations and integrated sustainability planning. With the Zoo's major in-need facilities addressed, this plan will allow for more sustainable approaches to future development through a series of small projects to be achieved annually over a multi-year timeline. This approach will result in more frequent new exhibits and visitor driving news, thereby providing a steadier platform for ongoing marketing and other revenue initiatives. The supporting details for the transformation plan, including specific projects, timeline and costs, are currently being finalized. It is expected that the plan will span ten years. A pilot was introduced in 2011 and another is planned for 2012 with full plan implementation expected to commence in 2013.
ENDOWMENT FUNDSFORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4The Philadelphia Zoo uses endowment funds to fund operating programs and relevant mission based initiatives.
INCOME TAXESFORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART XThe Zoo is a private not-for-profit corporation and, accordingly, is exempt from federal taxes under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Zoo is also exempt from state and local taxes under applicable statutes. The Zoo recognizes or derecognizes a tax position based upon a "more likely than not threshold". This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Zoo does not believe its financial statements include any material uncertain tax positions.

Supplemental Information Regarding Fundraising EventsSchedule G, Part IIThe Philadelphia Zoo was chartered as America's first zoo on March 21, 1859. The Zoo marked its sesquicentennial anniversary on March 21, 2009 with a year of mission related programs, conservation events and educational activities. The culmination of this anniversary year was the Zoo Conservation Gala held in March, 2010. In conjunction with this Gala, the Zoo raised $500,000 and launched a 10-year commitment to the Golden Lion Tamarin Association to spearhead conservation efforts to strengthen the precarious recovery for this species in peril. At the 2011 Global Conservation Gala, the Zoo launched the Year of the Orangutan and created a multi-faceted campaign to create awareness around the plight of this critically-endangered great ape. At this Gala, the Zoo committed $100,000, over five years to support the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme to help protect orangutans and other wildlife. . Experts have stated that these conservation efforts and the related funding commitment by the Zoo provides a blueprint for how to rescue an endangered species.

SCHEDULE L, PART IVJ. CHRISTOPHER CASHMANJ. Christopher Cashman, a director of the Philadelphia Zoo, is President Commercial Markets at Independence Blue Cross (IBC). IBC provides health insurance coverage to the employees of the Philadelphia Zoo. IBC is the primary health care benefit provider in the Delaware Valley. The Philadelphia Zoo's employee benefit broker is responsible for reviewing coverage, rates and competitive alternatives. The amount of revenue related to this relationship is negligible to IBC. The nature of Mr. Cashman's position at IBC is such that he is removed from direct business contact with the Philadelphia Zoo.
SCHEDULE L, PART IVJOANNE HARMELINJoanne Harmelin, a director of the Philadelphia Zoo, is Chief Executive Officer and majority owner of Harmelin Media. The Philadelphia Zoo employs Harmelin Media as its primary agency for placement of print, television, radio and other media advertising. The great majority of revenue received by Harmelin Media from the Philadelphia Zoo is pass-through monies that are paid to television, radio and other media outlets. This relationship existed prior to Ms. Harmelin joining the Philadelphia Zoo Board of Directors and the Zoo is free to terminate this relationship at will. Oversight is provided through an annual relationship review by the Chief Marketing Officer, the Chief Executive Officer and the Marketing Committee of the Board of Directors. Harmelin Media is compensated through an annual retainer, rather than the standard 15% agency commission, which provides the Philadelphia Zoo with a substantial annual cost savings.

FORM 990, PART VIIF. William McNabb, a Philadelphia Zoo Director, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Vanguard Group. The Philadelphia Zoo employs Vanguard to manage and administer its defined benefit and defined contribution plans. These relationships were in place prior to Mr. McNabb joining the Philadelphia Zoo Board of Directors. The selection of Vanguard was made by the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors following the consideration of multiple financial organizations and a thorough review of their proposals. The Vanguard relationship is subject to a review by the Investment Committee every three years. The amount of Philadelphia Zoo assets managed by Vanguard is approximately $15 million; the total value of all assets managed by Vanguard is $1.7 trillion. Since the fees paid to Vanguard of $35,500 are under the threshold for reporting on Schedule L we have not disclosed this transaction on that schedule. However, management and the directors of the Zoo feel that it is important to be transparent to the public so we are disclosing this transaction in Schedule O. Mr. McNabb is not involved in any decision making process concerning the Zoo in regard to this transaction nor does he earn any benefit in his role as officer of Vanguard for the fees paid by the Zoo.
