Financial Statement Notes

PT II, LINE 5:

The up2s stewardship monitoring policy is separated into three stages: (1) premonitoring due diligence; (2) monitoring of the easement property; and (3) postmonitoring due diligence. Each stage in the monitoring process is crucial in employing sound monitoring practices and creating accurate and reliable documentation. Monitoring of the easement property: the field portion of the monitoring effort should be interpretted as (1) an opportunity to maintian and imrpove relations with landowners and/or landowner representatives; (2) a small-scale duplication effort of the baseline documentation report; (3) an opportunity to enhance, alter, or correct any deficiencies or errors in past monitoring efforts; and (4) a check on the activities within and conditions of the property under easement.

PT II, LINE 9:

Up2s's policy related to the reporting of conservation easements is - easements received by donation are not recognized in assets or in income, and easements purchased are expensed.
