IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Explanation of Easements Enforcement Policies:Part II, Line 5:KELT's commitment to protect conservation easements consists of a written policy which specifies who will monitor each easement, training for monitors and monitoring forms to be filled out on each trip. Required reporting includes violations of the easement, a narrative of the trip, a map of the route taken, photos of the baseline condition, land use, natural catastrophic events, and infrastructure changes or repairs needed.
Description of How Organization Reports Conservation Easements:Part II, Line 9:It is the policy of KELT to record the donation or acquisition of an easement at its fair market value, in accordance with the most recent appraisal if available, as an income and expense item on KELTs financial statements. No amount is capitalized for the purchase of the easement as it is not a fee estate.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:Schedule D Part X Line 2: Management of KELT believes it has no material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
Part XI, Line 8 - Other Adjustments:Prior period adjustment for health insurance liability 1,828. Prior period adjustment for historical costs of Sewell Woods property -30,000.
