“Client Note 1 - Change in accounting methodBeginning with calendar year 2013, the Transition Habitat Conservancy is changing its accounting method to accrual to comply with FASB 116. As there were no outstanding pledges or accounts payable at the end of calendar year 2012, no income adjustments were required.”
“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Newberry Springs Conservation AreaMonitored 160 acres of agricultural habitat and land use replacement in the Newberry Springs area of San Bernardino County, CA.”
“Rounding = -$5”
“Upon acquisition, a baseline document showing the current land uses and condition of the land is created, then annual monitoring compares the conditions to the baseline. Any land use changes of any kind are compared to the conservation values we are preserving in perpetuity.”
“From the footnotes "The Organization records land and land interests at cost if purchased or at fair value on the date of acquisition, if all or part of the land was received as a donation. Fair value is generally determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition and is not subsequently adjusted. Costs related to the acquisition of land and land interests, such as appraisals, surveys, and initial restoration are included in the total cost of the land or land interest."”
“Endowments are intended to provide for the restoration, monitoring and maintenance of parcels acquired for conservation and habitat protection”
