EXPLANATION OF EASEMENTS ENFORCEMENT POLICIES:PART II, LINE 5:AFT'S POLICY IS TO MONITOR EACH OF OUR EASEMENTS EVERY OTHER YEAR, UNLESS AN ISSUE OR CIRCUMSTANCE REGARDING A PARTICULAR PROPERTY WARRANTS MORE FREQUENT VISITS. AFT HAS ALSO ADOPTED A VIOLATIONS POLICY THAT ADDRESSES THE MANNER IN WHICH AFT DETERMINES AND ENFORCES VIOLATIONS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. AFT CONTINUALLY EVALUATES EACH EASEMENT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE MONITORING AND INSPECTION NEEDS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT THE CONSERVATION PURPOSES OF THE EASEMENT ARE UPHELD.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW ORGANIZATION REPORTS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS:PART II, LINE 9:IT IS THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY, WHEN ACQUIRING OR ACCEPTING AN EASEMENT, TO EXTINGUISH IN PERPETUITY THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS ON THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL SUCH EASEMENTS ARE VALUED AT ONE DOLLAR. EASEMENTS WHOSE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS ARE NOT SO TREATED HAVE ALSO BEEN VALUED AT ONE DOLLAR BECAUSE IT IS MANAGEMENT'S OPINION THAT THE ORGANIZATION WILL NOT RECOVER ITS COST FOR THESE EASEMENTS. ANY PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO A QUALIFIED ENTITY ARE MAINTAINED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FARMLAND PROTECTION FUND.
DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS:PART V, LINE 4:THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO A LONG-TERM APPROACH WITH A BALANCED PROGRAM OF INVESTMENTS TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE REAL PURCHASING POWER OF THE FUND SO AS TO PROVIDE A STABLE AND, IN REAL TERMS, CONSTANT STREAM OF CURRENT INCOME FOR ANNUAL OPERATING NEEDS. THE ORGANIZATION'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE IS TO ATTAIN A MINIMUM RATE OF RETURN OF 5% PLUS THE CHANGE IN THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (AFTER MANAGEMENT FEES) OVER AN INVESTMENT CYCLE. THE PRIMARY MEASURE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE WILL BE A BLENDED BENCHMARK BASED ON ITS TARGET ASSET ALLOCATION. IN PURSUING THESE OBJECTIVES, THE ORGANIZATION INTENDS TO SELECT INVESTMENT MANAGERS WHO ARE RIGOROUS IN THE DISCIPLINES THEY UTILIZE TO PRODUCE RETURNS AT ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF RISK AND WHO AVOID SPECULATION EXPLAINED OR RATIONALIZED BY SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL TRENDS OR MOMENTUM IN SPECIFIC ECONOMIC SECTORS. DISTRIBUTION OF FUND EARNINGS TO THE OPERATING BUDGET IS BASED ON THE SPENDING POLICY AND IS MANAGED ON A TOTAL RETURN BASIS. IN MOST YEARS, DISTRIBUTIONS COMPRISE INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS PLUS SOME APPRECIATION. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE PLANS FOR THESE DISTRIBUTIONS TO AVOID THE NECESSITY OF LIQUIDATING INVESTMENTS AT AN UNFAVORABLE TIME. THE FUND SHALL BE INVESTED PRIMARILY IN LIQUID SECURITIES, INCLUDING EQUITY AND FIXED INCOME SECURITIES AND COMMINGLED INVESTMENT FUNDS.
DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48:PART X:THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PAYMENT OF INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS CLASSIFIED AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 509(A)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND THEREFORE, DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT ARE MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AT A MINIMUM, THE TAX YEARS ENDING IN 2008 THROUGH 2011 ARE OPEN FOR EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES.

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:CHANGE IN VALUE OF SPLIT INTEREST AGREEMENTS -32,040.
