| Part V, Line 4: | UCS uses the investment earnings of its endowment funds for the specific purposes designated by the donors including scientific research, new initiatives, activist and media outreach. |
| Part X, Line 2: | In accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, UCS is exempt from federal and state income taxes and, accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, UCS applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2015, UCS has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. These determinations have been reviewed according to guidance in a recent Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. UCS is generally subject to potential examination by taxing jurisdictions for the prior three years. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The completed 990 is reviewed and discussed by the Audit Committee of the Board prior to filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Affected persons (staff and Board) complete and submit the conflict of interest statement on an annual basis at the beginning of each fiscal year. This does not obviate the need to disclose potential conflicts that may arise in the interim. All forms are reviewed by the Director of Finance and Administration. Any potential conflicts are reviewed by the UCS President who determines whether a conflict exists and is material. If a matter is material, the President will bring it to the attention of the Board Chair. If the UCS President has the conflict, he or she would disclose the matter to the Board Chair directly. Disclosure involving Board members is made to the Board Chair (or if the conflict involves the Board Chair, to the Board Treasurer) who brings these matters, if material, to the Board. The Board determines whether a conflict exists and is material, and in the presence of an existing material conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to UCS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The UCS policy is that the Finance Committee of the Board be informed of the performance based recommendations for salary for key employees in the context of market information and our merit increase system. The purpose of this policy is to provide transparency and compliance with various legal standards for non-profit management. The President's salary is set after an annual merit review, by the Chair of the Board in consultation with the Treasurer and/or other Board members, as the Chair sees fit. The salaries for other key employees are set, after the annual merit review, by the management team. All salaries are set in the context of market information and our merit increase system. All salaries of key employees are reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available through the organization's website. The public can also access the financial statements through the "Guidestar" website (http://www2.guidestar.org/). |
