Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 5

“Monitoring and enforcement are in accordance with federal and state laws”

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 9

“Conservation easements held by the organization are not recognized as assets in the accompanying financial statements. Assets are defined as probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by an entity; the organization does not believe that the easements meet the definition criteria. The cost of conservation easements is expensed when the easement is acquired or contributed.”

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The organization has adopted the accounting guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The organization follows the statutory requirements for their income tax accounting and generally avoids risks associated with potentially problematic tax positions that may be challenged upon examination. Management believes any liability resulting from taxing authorities imposing additional income taxes from activities deemed to be unrelated to the organizations tax-exempt status would not have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.”
