established through restricted contributions from donors. It requires that, in perpetuity, the principal be invested and that the income only be used for unrestricted operating activities. The Society's endowment also includes funds internally designated by the Board of Trustees to be held in reserves to support future years' operations and provide a resource for unexpected downturns. Part X, Line 2: The Society is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Society has also been classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a)(1). Income which is not related to exempt purposes, less applicable deductions, is subject to Federal and state corporate income taxes. The Society had no net unrelated business income for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013. The provisions included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Society performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of August 31, 2014, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or, which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of August 31, 2014, the statute of limitations for tax years 2011 through 2014 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the Society files tax returns. It is the Society's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.

Ford's pays a yearly fee to a local health club that allows all employees free access to the facility. The listed person on this schedule did not use this health club benefit. Accordingly, this benefit was not included as taxable compensation to this person. When certain conditions are met, domestic first class, international business class, and travel for a companion are permitted in the executive travel policy. Part I, Line 1b Employees have the choice whether or not to use the health club. It is available equally to all employees, it is not specific to any class or group of employees. Since it is paid directly by the Society for the benefit of all employees, there is no reimbursement process to follow. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Form 990 is prepared by SB & Company, LLC. It is then reviewed by the Director of Finance. Next, it is presented to the Chair of the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees for approval and distributed electronically to the Board of Directors prior to filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c As a condition for hiring, each individual shall disclose to the Director or person in charge of HR administration, in writing, any financial, proprietary or personal interests that might be construed as being in conflict with his or her duty to Ford's Theatre Society. All employees are required to sign and hand in the "Conflict of Interest" form. While employed at Ford's Theatre Society, employees shall comply with this Conflict of Interest Policy and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Employees have an ongoing duty to report to the Director or person in charge of HR administration, in writing, any particular situation relating to previously disclosed interests, or any circumstance in which a potential conflict of interest may arise. The Director will determine the existence of a conflict of interest. If a conflicting interest exists, the Director will determine the appropriate steps to be taken under the circumstances. Possible steps include but are not limited to (1) requiring the interested employee to refrain from participating in any decision or policy making in a pending matter relating to the conflict of interest, (2) requiring the employee to divest himself or herself of the conflicting interest, or (3) in sufficiently serious situations, termination of employment. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The compensation level of the Director is set by the compensation committee of the Board of Trustees. A compensation study and independent consultant are used during their deliberation, and their decisions are documented in the minutes. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Federal Form 990 is posted on a third party's website, GuideStar. The audited financial statements, as well as the Society's governing documents, including the conflict of interest policy, are available by request. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The Society has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent auditor. There were no changes in these processes from the prior year. Form 990, Part V, Line 3a: The organization did not have unrelated business income during fiscal year 2014. As of fiscal year 2009, there is a net operating loss of $6,869 available to carry forward in future years.
