Financial Statement Notes
PART III, LINE 4:
“The museum has been collecting pieces of kern county history since 1929. Thousands of historical and cultural artifacts are displayed in more than 50 historic buildings on 16 beautifully landscaped acres. Treasures such as a one room school, a general store, jail, oil derrick, and seven historic homes join native american, bakersfield sound, mining, agriculture and railroad exhibits for visitor enjoyment. From california's gold rush, through its settlement and development, to the crucial oil industry of today, the state's rich heritage can be experienced in one convenient and central location. The kern county museum, founded in 1941, provides interpretive experiences through historical objects that tell significant stories about kern county life to its visitors. As a result, the museum provides a meaningful learning environment for people of all ages, and showcases the unique importance of the region in shaping the history of california and the nation in ways that enrich lives and shape a better future.”
PART V, LINE 4:
“The organization intends to use the endowment funds to support the daily operations of the museum and any related improvement projects.”
PART X, LINE 2:
“The foundation has adopted the standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the foundation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. Management evaluated the foundation's tax positions and concluded that they had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.”
PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
“Direct fundraising expenses netted with revenue -40,039.”
PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
“Direct fundraising expenses netted with revenue 40,039.”

THOUSANDS OF HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL ARTIFACTS ARE DISPLAYED IN MORE THAN 50 HISTORIC BUILDINGS ON 16 BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED ACRES. TREASURES SUCH AS A ONE ROOM SCHOOL, A GENERAL STORE, JAIL, OIL DERRICK, AND SEVEN HISTORIC HOMES JOIN NATIVE AMERICAN, BAKERSFIELD SOUND, MINING, AGRICULTURE AND RAILROAD EXHIBITS FOR VISITOR ENJOYMENT. FROM CALIFORNIA'S GOLD RUSH, THROUGH ITS SETTLEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, TO THE CRUCIAL OIL INDUSTRY OF TODAY, THE STATE'S RICH HERITAGE CAN BE EXPERIENCED IN ONE CONVENIENT AND CENTRAL LOCATION. THE KERN COUNTY MUSEUM, FOUNDED IN 1941, PROVIDES INTERPRETIVE EXPERIENCES THROUGH HISTORICAL OBJECTS THAT TELL SIGNIFICANT STORIES ABOUT KERN COUNTY LIFE TO ITS VISITORS. AS A RESULT, THE MUSEUM PROVIDES A MEANINGFUL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, AND SHOWCASES THE UNIQUE IMPORTANCE OF THE REGION IN SHAPING THE HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA AND THE NATION IN WAYS THAT ENRICH LIVES AND SHAPE A BETTER FUTURE. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | THE ORGANIZATION INTENDS TO USE THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE DAILY OPERATIONS OF THE MUSEUM AND ANY RELATED IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | THE FOUNDATION HAS ADOPTED THE STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, THE FOUNDATION MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. MANAGEMENT EVALUATED THE FOUNDATION'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THEY HAD TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. |
