THE AUTRY MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN WEST (THE "AUTRY") AROSE IN ITS PRESENT FORM FROM THE MERGER IN 2003 OF THE THEN AUTRY MUSEUM OF WESTERN HERITAGE (FOUNDED IN 1984 AND OPENED IN 1988) WITH THE SOUTHWEST MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN FOUNDED IN 1907) AND WITH THE WOMEN OF THE WEST MUSEUM (FOUNDED IN 1991). THE AUTRY IS DEDICATED TO EXPLORING AND SHARING THE STORIES, EXPERIENCES, AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE DIVERSE PEOPLES OF THE AMERICAN WEST, CONNECTING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT TO INSPIRE A SHARED FUTURE. THE AUTRY'S COLLECTIONS OF MORE THAN 600,000 WORKS OF ART AND ARTIFACTS INCLUDE THE SOUTHWEST MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN COLLECTION, ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST SIGNIFICANT COLLECTIONS OF NATIVE AMERICAN MATERIALS IN THE UNITED STATES. PHILANTHROPY IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR THE AUTRY. FUNDRAISING INCOME IS REALIZED FROM GIFTS, GRANTS, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND MEMBERSHIPS AND IS RECEIVED FROM INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. EARNED INCOME IS A SECONDARY REVENUE SOURCE FOR THE AUTRY AND IS REALIZED FROM ADMISSIONS, PROGRAMS, AND AUXILIARY SERVICES. THE ORGANIZATION HAS HISTORICALLY REPORTED PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGES IN EXCESS OF 33 1/3% PRIOR TO THE 2021 RETURN. THE ORGANIZATION CLEARLY IS ONE THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE PUBLIC. LIKE MANY OTHER MUSEUMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IN 2020 AND 2021 THE AUTRY WAS SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN BOTH FUNDRAISING AND EARNED INCOME. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESULTED IN THE MUSEUM CLOSING FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR STARTING IN MARCH 2020. WHILE IN-PERSON VISITS HAVE BOUNCED BACK FROM THEIR 2020 LOWS, MOST MUSEUMS HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER VISITORS IN 2021 THAN THEY DID BEFORE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THIS IS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THE LA COUNTY AND LA CITY CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS, THE HESITANCY OR INABILITY OF VISITORS AND STUDENTS TO RETURN TO IN-PERSON EXPERIENCES, AND STAFF SHORTAGES. THIS CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES RESULTED IN THE ORGANIZATION GENERATING A PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE LESS THAN THE REQUIRED 33 1/3% UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. AS RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN LIFTED AND VACCINATIONS ARE MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE, THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEGUN PLANNING TO ENSURE INCREASED SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF THE PARTICIPATING PUBLIC. THESE PLANS INCLUDE A WIDE RANGE OF EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS, INCLUDING LECTURES, FILMS, THEATER, MUSIC, AND FESTIVALS, AS WELL AS CONDUCT SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH. ACCORDING TO THE GUIDANCE ISSUED IN PRIVATE LETTER RULINGS XXX-XX-XXXX AND XXX-XX-XXXX, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE WILL CONSIDER AN ORGANIZATION'S STRUCTURE, PROPOSED PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES, INTENDED METHOD OF OPERATION, AND PROJECTED SOURCES OF SUPPORT IN REACHING A DETERMINATION. WITH THE RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC LIFTING, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES IT CAN REVERT TO ITS PRE-PANDEMIC PUBLIC SUPPORT AND CONTINUES TO TARGET THE GENERAL PUBLIC. GIVEN THESE FACTORS, DETERMINING WHETHER AN ORGANIZATION QUALIFIES FOR PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS UNDER SECTION 507(B)(1)(B)(I) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IS BASED ON WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION CAN REASONABLY EXPECT TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTABLISHED THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE TO THE EXTENT THAT ITS MEETING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS IN THE SUCCEEDING TAX PERIODS CAN BE REASONABLY EXPECTED.

THE COLLECTIONS, WHICH WERE ACQUIRED THROUGH PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS SINCE THE AUTRY'S INCEPTION, ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS ON THE STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS WERE ACQUIRED AS DECREASES IN NET ASSETS WITH OR WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS, DEPENDING ON THE SOURCE OF THE ASSETS USED TO PURCHASE THE ITEMS AND WHETHER THOSE ASSETS WERE RESTRICTED BY DONORS. CONTRIBUTED COLLECTION ITEMS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE AUTRY'S COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES THAT PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS OR INSURANCE RECOVERIES ARE TO BE USED FOR ACQUISITIONS TO THE COLLECTION. PART III, LINE 4: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTIONS THE AUTRY'S COLLECTIONS OF MORE THAN 600,000 WORKS OF ART AND ARTIFACTS INCLUDE THE SOUTHWEST MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN COLLECTION, ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST SIGNIFICANT OF NATIVE AMERICAN MATERIALS IN THE UNITED STATES. THE AUTRY PRESENTS A WIDE RANGE OF EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS INCLUDING LECTURES, FILM, THEATER, FESTIVALS, FAMILY EVENTS, AND MUSIC AND PERFORMS SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH. THE AUTRY'S DESIRED IMPACT IS TO CREATE RELEVANCY BETWEEN HISTORY AND THE PRESENT DAY AND TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN EXPLORATION OF CRITICAL CONTEMPORARY CONCERNS IN ORDER TO SHAPE THE FUTURE. THE COLLECTION FURTHERS THE MUSEUM'S MISSION BY SHARING THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN WEST AND THE MULTIPLE CULTURES, PERSPECTIVES, TRADITIONS, AND EXPERIENCES THAT MAKE THE WEST A SIGNIFICANT AND UNIQUE PART OF THE WORLD.

PART X, LINE 2: FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE THE AUTRY FOLLOWS GUIDANCE THAT CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BETAKEN IN A TAX RETURN, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT. THIS GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN ONLY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THE POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. THE AUTRY IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC"), THOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO TAX ON INCOME UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE, UNLESS THAT INCOME IS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED BY THE CODE. THE AUTRY IS ALSO EXEMPT FROM CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE TAXES UNDER REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE SECTION 23701D ON ITS INCOME OTHER THAN UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE AUTRY HAS PROCESSES PRESENTLY IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED INCOME; TO DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS NEXUS; AND TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED TAX POSITIONS. THE AUTRY HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
