Part V, Line 4:Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:GLAZA manages endowment funds to support GLAZA and Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens operations and programs. The majority of GLAZA's endowment funds are unrestricted bequests which the Board has designated to be treated as endowment. These unrestricted funds (principal and distributions) have been used at times to guarantee GLAZA's commitments to fund certain Master Plan projects while GLAZA was still raising the funds from donors. This unrestricted endowment is used now to collateralize a line of Credit that will provide funds for GLAZA's commitment to the Elephants of Asia Project, for which it is raising funds from donors. GLAZA expects to fully raise the Project funds, and release the Line of Credit and the unrestricted endowment being used as collateral. GLAZA's permanently restricted endowment funds have been largely given by donors for a specific area of support: educational programs, the docent program, and Zoo exhibit improvements. With all endowment funds, GLAZA has adopted a distribution policy that while allowing for current distributions, places an emphasis on long-term growth of the endowment funds so that they can provide increasing operational support in the future.
Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:During the year ended June 30, 2010, GLAZA adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740, "Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109"). In accordance with ASC 740, GLAZA recognizes the impact of tax positions in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. GLAZA recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. During the year ended June 30, 2010, GLAZA performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions and did not note any matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have an effect on its tax-exempt status.

ExplanationOn behalf of the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens, GLAZA funds conservation projects within the United States and around the world. Zoo curators and officials who work closely with conservation groups make recommendations to senior Zoo staff for budgeting proposed conservation grants. Zoo curators and senior staff have decades of experience working with conservation groups, and the vast majority of organizations and their staffs have been known to Zoo officials over the years. Budgeted organizations are then invited to complete a GLAZA/LA Zoo grant request form where they provide information about their organization, mission, and governance; prior grants from this program; and the proposed project to be funded, how it will be administered and evaluated. Zoo and GLAZA staff review these grant requests, as well as do on-line and other research to determine the organizations' ability to complete the proposed projects. A majority of grants are to organizations which have been previously funded by this program. During the terms of the grants, Zoo curators maintain contact with the organizations and receive interim and final written and oral updates on the progress of the projects.Explanation

GLAZA has a banking relationship with Wells Fargo that pre-dates Mr. Manning's membership on the GLAZA board. During 2009, GLAZA entertained bids for an increased Line of Credit from Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Although a member of the GLAZA Finance Committee, he did not attend any meetings where the bids were discussed, and the Wells Fargo bid accepted. He recused himself from all votes regarding this transaction. Subsequently, as part of the Line of Credit agreement, GLAZA transferred its main banking relationships to Wells Fargo.
