Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 1A:

“The museum owns, preserves, and maintains a collection of neon signs for public exhibition that were either donated or purchased. It is the policy of the museum that proceeds from the sale of any collection items are to be used to purchase additional collection items. The value of this collection is not reflected in the financial statements since the museum has elected not to capitalize its collections. Purchases of collection items in the current period are reflected as a decrease in unrestricted net assets and shown as sign acquisitions on the statement of functional expense. Restored signs are on display in outdoor "galleries" along fremont street in downtown las vegas. Signs are also on display at the old las vegas mormon fort state historic park. The park has agreed to display some signs in its visitors' center until the museum can display them. The remaining non-restored signs are stored outdoors in an onsite storage lot as well as 2 off-site storage facilities. The museum collection also includes a variety of sign-related artifacts that support the collection archive. Signs are considered for deaccessioning if the sign is outside the scope of the collection management policy, is irrelevant to the purposes of the museum, cannot be preserved properly, is a duplicate item, has deteriorated beyond usefulness and/or is unsafe to operate, its authenticity is deteremined to be false or fraudulent or title to the tangible rights or the intangible rights in connection thereto are brought into question such that use of the object by the museum may subject it to liabiltiy. Deaccessioned signs may be disposed of by means of transfer, gift, trade, exchange, or sale. Physical destruction or disposal may be considered if the physical condition of the sign is severely deteriorated.”
