Financial Statement Notes

Pt II, Line 9

“The VCS has acquired various parcels of land for conservation. Investments in land are presented in the financial statements at cost or at fair value as of the date of the gift for donated land.”

Pt X, Line 2

“The VCS accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more than likely than not" threshold to the recogniton of the tax position being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the aplicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those postions, the unrecognized benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggreates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax postions. VCS has identified its tax status as a tax exmept entity as a tax position, however, the VCS has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The VCS is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. its federal and sate income tax returns are generally open for examiniation for the past three years.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The VCS has acquired various parcels of land for conservation. Investments in land are presented in the financial statements at cost or at fair value as of the date of the gift for donated land.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The VCS accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more than likely than not" threshold to the recogniton of the tax position being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the aplicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those postions, the unrecognized benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggreates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax postions. VCS has identified its tax status as a tax exmept entity as a tax position, however, the VCS has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The VCS is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. its federal and sate income tax returns are generally open for examiniation for the past three years.
