| DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTIONS | SCHEDULE D, PART III, LINE 4 THE TWO MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY'S ART COLLECTION ARE THE WATKINS COLLECTION BEGUN IN 1945, AND THE KATZEN COLLECTION BEGUN IN 2005. THE COLLECTIONS SERVE AS A TEACHING RESOURCE FOR THE ART DEPARTMENT AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, AS WELL AS TELLING THE STORY OF MODERN ART AND ITS OFFSHOOTS IN WASHINGTON DC, WITH SIDE STORIES RELATED TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE LARGER CONTEMPORARY WORLD. THE MUSEUM FEATURES OVER 30,000 SQUARE FEET OF EXHIBITION SPACE FOR THESE TWO COLLECTIONS. THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME TO VISIT THE MUSEUM AND EXHIBITIONS FREE OF CHARGE. INDEED, THE KATZEN ARTS CENTER IS NOW A DESTINATION FOR CERTAIN TOUR GROUPS IN WASHINGTON DC. |
| INTENDED USES OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS | SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4 THE UNIVERSITY'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 450 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND RELATED ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES. ITS ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. AS REQUIRED BY GAAP, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSCENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. |
| FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE | SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 THE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, EXCEPT FOR TAXES ON INCOME FROM ACTIVITIES UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE. SUCH ACTIVITIES RESULTED IN NO NET TAXABLE INCOME IN FISCAL YEARS 2017 and 2016. Due to the nature of the Airlie transaction, Airlie remains a taxable non-stock corporation and is taxed as a C-Corporation and uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Universitys policy is to record interest and penalties as an increase in income taxes payable and corresponding increase to income tax expense. No penalties or interest have been recorded for the year ended April 30, 2017. |

| AIRLIE CENTER GIFTED TO AU | Schedule M, Part I, Line 25 A rural estate once heralded as an "island of thought" by Life magazine is now part of American University. An hours drive from DC, the Airlie Center in Warrenton, Virginia, sits on 300 pastoral acres and contains historic Airlie House, a village of guest rooms, meeting facilities, an organic garden, and a lake. Airlies Board of Directors gifted the property to AU in September 2016. One of the first conference facilities of its kind in the country, Airlie was considered a model of innovation when founder Murdock Head opened the doors in 1960. Since then it has been welcoming international leaders, policy makers, and diplomats for significant meetings and programs dedicated to social progress, education, environmental research, and public health - some of which have shaped social movements and institutions. It is fitting that an institution committed to active citizenship and global leadership would continue Airlies mission. "The university is honored to have been selected for this wonderful gift. It is our intent to carry on the very impressive and important legacy of Airlie, while leveraging this marvelous facility for American Universitys academic initiatives," said AU president emeritus Neil Kerwin. |
