Financial Statement Notes

schedule D PART III LINE 4 - Description of Organization'S collections

Literary collection consists of current and historical medical literature, art objects and medical artifacts that were either purchased or donated to the Library for public exhibition, education and preservation.

SCHEDULE D PART V LINE 4 - Use of Endowment Funds

The Library's endowment consists of approximately seventy individual funds established for a variety of purposes. Its endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment funds (permanently restricted net assets) and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. Net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions, as permanently restricted or designated unrestricted net assets, respectively. Subject to UPMIFA, as described below, the principal may be spent given a good-faith determination that such spending is prudent. The Board of Trustees of the Library has interpreted the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act ("UPMIFA") as enacted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts effective June 30, 2009, as requiring the preservation of the original fair value of the donor-restricted gift absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, income and appreciation of the donor-restricted endowment funds is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA. The spending policy and philosophy, including the long term investment management policies and procedures, were designed to function as integrated processes and are administered to reflect the following factors, as described in UPMIFA, for prudent stewards of assets: -The duration and preservation of a fund; -The purpose of the organization and the donor designations thereto; -General economic conditions; -The possible effects of inflation and deflation; -The expected total return of the charitable assets; -Other resources of the organization; and -The investment policies. In establishing its spending policy, the Library considered the long-term expected return on its endowment. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees of the Library is authorized to appropriate for expenditure from endowment funds up to three percent (3%) of the value of the Endowment Fund, calculated as the average quarterly balance for the previous 12 quarters. This is consistent with the Librarys objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held for a specified term as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment return.

SCHEDULE D PART III LINE 1A - Literary Property

Literary property and other related items purchased or received as a gift is not capitalized. Such collections, which are held for public exhibition or education, protected and preserved and subject to the Librarys policy to use any proceeds from sale of collections to acquire other collection items, are not recognized as assets in the statements of financial position. Literary property purchased totaled $38,088 and $50,368, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and is included in unrestricted program expenses in the statements of activities.

SCHEDULE D PART X LINE 2 - Uncertain Tax Position

The Library is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax positions, including the position that the Library qualifies as a tax-exempt entity, taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Librarys tax returns are required to be evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Library does not have any uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2017 and 2016 which require accrual or disclosure. Generally, the Library is subject to federal and state tax examination by tax authorities for all years subsequent to June 30, 2013.
