| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 1 | The sole trustee will record actions undertaken from time to time, as needed. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 2 | There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the sole trustee/governing body. The Lowell Observatory committee oversees the consolidated statements of Lowell Observatory and Percival Lowell Trust UW. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 3 | A draft of the form 990 is reviewed by the sole trustee, the trustee administrator and the Observatory Secretary-Treasurer and Director before it is submitted. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 4 | The Trust is governed by the will of Percival Lowell and exists exclusively for the benefit of Lowell Observatory. When requested, documents regarding the Trust are provided by the Observatory business office. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 5 | The Percival Lowell Trust UW distributed to Lowell Observatory $8,600,000 during 2009 with the intent that the amount be repaid to the Trust. This amount was incorrectly reported as a transfer from the Trust's permanently restricted net assets to the Observatory's unrestricted net assets on the 2009 consolidated financial statements. The transfer was eliminated and beginning net assets were restated to reflect the amount as an intercompany loan rather than a transfer of net assets. The loan was repaid in 2010. There was an additional restatement of 2010 beginning net assets for $107,194 and $3,129,726 unrealized gain on investments. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 6 | The audit committee of the advisory board of Lowell Observatory reviews the consolidated financial statement and discusses it with the auditors and trustee. |
