IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
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.
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.

COMNET IS IN CONTROL OF DUES THAT ARE RAISED THROUGH THEIR FUNDRAISING SERVICES. COMNET IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAILING/EMAILING ALL PLEDGE FORMS AND DUES INVOICES. Comnet Marketing membership fundraising expense for telemarketing was targeted to members who had joined via the Groupon promotion of the previous year and their promotion had expired. The expense of calling them resulted in fewer renewals than anticipated. MSI CONTRACTS WITH SD&A TELESERVICES, INC. TO DO THE FOLLOWING: DEVELOP A SCRIPT, WRITE THE SCRIPT, SEND A COPY OF THE SCRIPT TO THE MSI FOR APPROVAL, RECRUIT AND TRAIN CALLERS, CALL PROSPECTS DONORS AND SOLICIT DONATIONS TO GROW THE ANNUAL FUND AND COLUMBIAN SOCIETY. SD&A TELESERVICES, INC. WILL SUPERVISE TIMELY CONFIRMATION MAILINGS AND PROCESS GIFT DATA TO PRODUCE REMINDER MAILS; CREDIT CARD AND PLEDGE GIFT INFORMATION WILL BE EMAILED TO MSI DAILY; AND DAILY, CUMULATIVE AND WEEKLY REPORTS THAT TRACK AND SEGMENT RESULTS WILL BE DELIVERED TO MSI AS WELL AS AN END OF CAMPAIGN REPORT AND A DONOR COMMENT FILE. SD & A Teleservices telemarketing fundraising strategy was to support the efforts of the Individual Giving direct mail campaign. Its primary role was to act as a follow up and reminder rather than major revenue generating fundraising medium. As part of the overall restructuring of the IG program, this was an area where we knew we needed to invest money to see long term results, which is why there is a very narrow margin of revenue from 2011 TM efforts.

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 JPMorgan Chase and excuses himself when the Finance Committee is voting on financial matters related to MSI and the JPMorgan 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. 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. Sheila A Penrose, a trustee of MSI, is a chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle. MSI transactions with Jones Lang LaSalle were based on contractual agreements and were done in terms similar to those given to the general public. Services with Jones Lang LaSalle were terminated in Mid-2011. There is no conflict since Mrs. Penrose does not belong to any of the board committees responsible for approving transactions with this vendor (I.E. building and grounds).	Explanation
