Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

The tropical forest forever fund and the land acquisition endowment proceeds are to be used to assist with purchases of critical habitat identified by gcbo or other conservation organizations. The properties are preserved into perpetuity. The operating endowment, will, at some point in the future be large enough to provide general operating support to the organization. It is currently growing.

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made in these financial statements. The organization accounts for uncertain tax positions, when it is more likely than not, that such an asset or a liability will be realized. As of december 31, 2015 and 2014, management believes there were no uncertain tax positions

Part II, Line 9

The conservation easements are booked on the balance sheet at fair market value.
