Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

Inexhaustible collections and books - because the values of the existing inexhaustible collections, including research books and paintings, are not readily determinable, the library has not capitalized them. Books used in the circulating library have not been capitalized because their estimated useful lives are less than one year.

PART X, LINE 2:

Management has evaluated significant tax positions against the criteria established by professional standards and believes there are no such tax positions requiring accounting recognition.
