Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

The 990 is initially reviewed by the Finance Manager and the Executive Director. It is

Pt VI, Line 11B

then passed on to the Finance Committee for review and approval. Finally the

Pt VI, Line 11B

990 is sent to the full Board prior to filing.

Pt VI, Line 12C

Conflict of Interest policy was adopted on 8/8/08. All officers and

Pt VI, Line 12C

employees complete a conflict of interest statement at the first board meeting

Pt VI, Line 12C

of the new year and the statement is reviewed by the CAO. In addition, the ED

Pt VI, Line 12C

monitors the business of the organization that could involve Board members or staff.

Pt VI, Line 15A

Currently, the ED makes well below the highly compensated threshold.

Pt VI, Line 15A

In March 2010, compensation data was gathered for land trust job types. The

Pt VI, Line 15A

Compensation Committee continues to use this data as a guide to determine

Pt VI, Line 15A

salaries.

Pt VI, Line 18

Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request. Form 990 is

Pt VI, Line 18

also available on the organization's website.

Pt VI, Line 19

Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial

Pt VI, Line 19

statements are available upon request.

Pt XI

Net investment gains on Endowment held with the

Pt XI

Community Foundation of Western NC amounted to 82,972.

Pt XII, Line 2C

The Audit Committee directly reviews the audit.

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

Since U.S. GAAP does not provide specific guidance on the accounting

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

treatment for conservation easements, land trust organizations in the

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

U.S. use several different methods to account for the easements they hold.

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

LTLT has adopted one such method which is widely used by other land trusts.

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

Under this method, conservation easements are not recognized as assets.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 24F

Program event expense 951. 188. 125. 638. Dues/subscriptions 3352. 1954. 1398. 0. Miscellaneous 4665. 3949. 716. 0. Field equipment 708. 708. 0. 0. Stewardship contracts 15115. 15115. 0. 0.

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

Accordingly, easements received by donation are not recorded in income

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

and easements purchased by the organization are recorded as expenses.

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

Management believes that this method results in financial statements

Sch D, Ln 3 & 5

that most accurately reflect the organization's financial activities.

Financial Statement Notes

Pt II Line 3

One conservation easement was modified during 2013.

Pt II Line 5

CEs are monitored by LTLT's conservation easement monitoring staff at least annually with a report to LTLT and the landowner. Violations, monitoring and enforcement are covered in LTLT's Stewardship Policy Manual.

Pt II Line 9

Conservation easements purchased are expensed at cost. Conservation easements received by donation are not recorded in the organization's books. (See Schedule O for further information.)

Pt X Line 2

Ltlt is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Under the code, income from certain activities not related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had less than $1,000 of income from unrelated business activities in the 2013 fiscal year and was, therefore, not required to file federal form 990-t (exempt organization business income tax return). The organization believes that it has a
