Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

“Consistent with predominant industry practice, the aquarium's collections are not capitalized. Collections consist of animals on exhibition that were purchased at cost greater than $5,000. When collection items are deaccessioned, the proceeds, if any, are used for the direct care of existing collection items or to acquire new collection items. In an ongoing commitment to enhance the worldwide reproduction and preservation of animals, the aquarium shares animals with other organizations. Consistent with industry practice, the aquarium does not record any asset or liability for such sharing arrangements.”

PART III, LINE 4:

“Collections consists of animals on exhibition to provide education to the general public in marine sciences.”

“Cost of goods sold -283,021. Special events -22,900.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
