        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 1a:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The art collection and library of the Museum are reflected in the plant fund at a nominal value. The cost of a collection item is recorded as a decrease in net assets when purchased. The proceeds from the sale of a collection item are recorded as an increase in net assets when sold. The collection is managed according to a policy which adheres to the standards of the American Association of Museums. The policy delineates responsibilities in such matters as Museum ethics, acquisitions, loans, care of collections, and deaccessioning. Objects held in the collection are carefully tracked and monitored. The Museum's deaccessioning policy allows for sale or trade of an object only when it is incompatible with the Museum's collecting mission and when clear and complete title to the work is confirmed. Proceeds from the sale of an object may only be applied toward collection acquisitions.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The art collection and library of the Museum are reflected in the plant fund at a nominal value. The cost of a collection item is recorded as a decrease in net assets when purchased. The proceeds from the sale of a collection item are recorded as an increase in net assets when sold. The collection is managed according to a policy which adheres to the standards of the American Association of Museums. The policy delineates responsibilities in such matters as Museum ethics, acquisitions, loans, care of collections, and deaccessioning. Objects held in the collection are carefully tracked and monitored. The Museum's deaccessioning policy allows for sale or trade of an object only when it is incompatible with the Museum's collecting mission and when clear and complete title to the work is confirmed. Proceeds from the sale of an object may only be applied toward collection acquisitions.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>In 2010, a top priority for the Organization's trustees was to formalize its governance procedures. To that end, on May 26, 2010, the Organization's revised bylaws were approved, resulting in the establishment of a governance committee. Since that time, the governance committee has established procedures for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Organization's policies, including the conflict of interest policy. The Organization now requires each trustee to review and sign a copy of the Organization's Code of Ethics on a yearly basis. Also on a yearly basis, each Trustee is required to complete and submit a personal information form on which any potential conflicts of interest are to be disclosed. If and when a conflict of interest is disclosed, the form is presented to the governance committee to be reviewed and addressed.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Per the Museum's Bylaws, the Executive Committee is authorized to exercise the following specific powers and duties on behalf of the Board: (a) To enter into employment with, and to terminate the employment of, the Corporation's chief executive officer (the "Director"), to negotiate and enter into employment contracts with the Director subject to final approval by the Board, to annually review the performance of the Director, to determine the Director's annual compensation adjustments and benefits adjustments, to resolve all disciplinary and other issues relating to the Director's employment; (b) To review annually the performance of any other key employees of the corporation and to resolve all disciplinary and other issues relating to such employees when such tasks are specifically delegated to the Executive Committee by the Board; In 2010 the Museum engaged an independent HR consulting firm, Maine HR Partners, LLC, to conduct a classification and compensation study of all positions at the Portland Museum of Art, including the Director and two Deputy Directors. The study included a customized salary and employee benefits survey of comparable organizations as well as other employers in the relevant market areas and other published surveys. A survey of fringe benefit practices was also conducted and the results incorporated into the final report, in order to consider total compensation in the establishment of a salary structure. Based on their analysis of market data, salary ranges were developed which address the concepts of market competitiveness and internal equity considerations. Maine HR Partners, LLC also worked with Museum staff and the Museum's Human Resources Committee to develop a performance evaluation system, which included 360 degree performance reviews of these three individuals. The Director's performance review is conducted by the Board President and reviewed with the Executive Committee. The two Deputy Directors' performance reviews are conducted by the Director and presented to the Executive Committee. Compensation for these three individuals is determined by vote of the Executive Committee utilizing the performance review data and data from the independent classification and compensation study.</Explanation>
