VOLUNTEER LAND STEWARDS COMMIT TO DONATING 40 HOURS PER YEAR ON CONSERVANCY PRESERVES AND GREATLY EXPAND THE POWER OF OUR STEWARDSHIP TEAM.

ALTHOUGH CONSERVATION EASEMENTS BRING SIGNIFICANT VALUE TO THE CONSERVANCY'S PURPOSE, THEY HAVE NO FINANCIAL VALUE, OTHER THAN THE DIRECT ACQUISITION COSTS. FOR THIS REASON, ONLY DIRECT COSTS INCURRED TO ACQUIRE EASEMENTS ARE CAPITALIZED, WHEREAS DONATED CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

THE CONSERVANCY HAS THE ONGOING COMMITMENT TO ENSURE THE PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ITS CONSERVATION INTERESTS. ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNTS FOR LAND HELD IN FEE ARE SHOWN AS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION, IT IS THE CONSERVANCY'S INTENTION TO HOLD THEM INDEFINITELY. IN MOST CASES, THE CONSERVANCY WOULD NEED TO OBTAIN THE PERMISSION OF THE ORIGINAL FUNDER FROM WHICH THE GRANT OR CONTRIBUTION PROCEEDS USED TO PURCHASE THE LAND HELD IN FEE WERE RECEIVED BEFORE SELLING A PARCEL OF LAND. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022, THE CONSERVANCY HELD THE FOLLOWING CONSERVATION INTERESTS: CARRYING AMOUNT ACREAGE LAND HELD IN FEE $53,349,763 7,220 CONSERVATION EASEMENTS HELD $59,463 944 TOTAL $54,964,037 LEASES,CONSERVATION LAND USE 67 TOTAL ACRES HELD IN FEE OR EASEMENTS 8,231 PART V, LINE 4: ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE USED IN STRICT ADHERENCE TO DONOR RESTRICTIONS IN FUTHERANCE OF THE CONSERVANCY'S MISSION AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IN LAND PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION AND LAND STEWARDSHIP INITIATIVES AND ACTIONS. PART X, LINE 2: THE CONSERVANCY IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3). THE CONSERVANCY ADHERES TO THE PROVISIONS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION (ASC) 740, INCOME TAXES. ASC 740 ESTABLISHES RULES FOR RECOGNIZING AND MEASURING TAX POSITIONS TAKEN IN AN INCOME TAX RETURN, INCLUDING DISCLOSURES OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS (UTPS). ASC 740 MANDATES THAT COMPANIES EVALUATE ALL MATERIAL INCOME TAX POSITIONS FOR PERIODS THAT REMAIN OPEN UNDER APPLICABLE STATUTES OF LIMITATION, AS WELL AS POSITIONS EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN FUTURE RETURNS. THE UTP RULES THEN IMPOSE A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD ON EACH TAX POSITION. A COMPANY CAN RECOGNIZE AN INCOME TAX BENEFIT ONLY IF THE POSITION HAS A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" (I.E., MORE THAN 50 PERCENT) CHANCE OF BEING SUSTAINED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS. FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021, THE CONSERVANCY HAS TAKEN NO MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS ON ITS APPLICABLE TAX FILINGS THAT DO NOT MEET THE "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD. AS A RESULT, NO AMOUNT FOR UTPS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2019.
