Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

To provide ongoing support of current and future programs of the organization.

Part X, Line 2:

The Zoo is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except on net income derived from unrelated business activities. The Zoo's rental income is subject to tax on unrelated business income. The Zoo recorded $15,945 and $8,950 in tax expense for this unrelated business activity for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Zoo evaluates tax positions taken on its federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that tax positions taken be more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Management believes that the Zoo has no significant unrecognized tax benefits under that criteria. The Zoo's federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns are generally subject to examination by taxing authorities for three years after they were filed.
