| 990 PART I LINE 12 | DURING THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION WAS COMPLETING THE RESTORATION OF THE WESTERN FLYER ANDRECEIVED ELEVATED CONTRIBUTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FINAL PHASE OF THE VESSEL'S RESTORATION. IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, THE VESSEL TRANSITIONED TO FULL OPERATIONS, RESULTING IN LOWER CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND A SHIFT TOWARD PROGRAMMATIC AND OPERATIONAL FUNDING. |
| 990 PART 1 LINE 19 | THE CHANGE IN NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR REFLECTS THE ORGANIZATION'S TRANSITION FROM A RESTORATION PHASE TO ACTIVE OPERATIONS. DURING THE YEAR, THE WESTERN FLYER UNDERTOOK ITS FIRST EXTENDED EXPEDITION AND EXPANDED EDUCATION AND RESEARCH PROGRAMMING. THIS RESULTED IN INCREASED EXPENSES FOR VESSEL OPERATIONS, INCLUDING CREW, INSURANCE, TRAVEL, AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. MAINTENANCE EXPENSES ALSO INCREASED AS THE VESSEL MOVED FROM RESTORATION TO ACTIVE USE.THESE CHANGES REFLECT A PLANNED TRANSITION FROM A CAPITAL RESTORATION PHASE TO ACTIVE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAM DELIVERY. |
