Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

“The collection is made up of photographs that are held for education, research, and curatorial purposes. Each photograph is catalogued, preserved, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed routinely. The collection is a permanent collection and works are held in perpetuity. Works of art are not capitalized and carried on the statement of financial position. The photographs are added to the collection only through gifts made by artists who participate in light work's artist in residence program. Manangement does not place a value on the photographs and believes this policy is preferable because the works are held for public interest, public exhibition, education, and/or research, rather than financial gain, and therefore should not be included in the statement of financial position.”

PART III, LINE 4:

“The works of art consist of more than 4,000 photographs. Light work provides exhibitions and lectures. These works of art serve diverse audiences by advancing the appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of the arts.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Light work complies with fasb asc sub-topic 740-19, income taxes, which requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a more likely than not threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return including maintaining tax-exempt status. Light work believes its financial statements do not include any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements as of and for the year ended june 30,2021. It is light work's policy to recognize any interest and penalties in general and administrative expenses.”
