Part X	Part X : FIN48 Footnote	From Page 9 of the Institute's Consolidated Audited Financial Statements: "The Institute is a not-for-profit corporation exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3); the Institute is similarly exempt from state income taxes. Despite the general exemption from income taxation, the Institute is subject to federal and state income tax at corporate rates on its unrelated business income.Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes, prescribes a comprehensive model for how an institution should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the institution has taken or expects to take on a tax return. For federal purposes, the Institute has reported federal net operating losses (NOLs) of approximately $6.5 million for tax periods through June 30, 2011. The Institute does not have the ability to estimate the NOL through June 30, 2012, as the NOL calculation is reliant upon third-party information, which is not yet available. These NOLs will expire, if not utilized, between the years 2025 and 2031. The Institute has not recorded a tax benefit for these NOLs for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively; because it is not more likely than not that the Institute will be able to realize the benefit." The financial statements did not report uncertain tax positions.

Part V, Line 4	Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.	The Institute establishes endowment funds for the purpose of investing assets in a manner that preserves the real value of the endowment principal and, in addition, provides spendable funds that can be used to fulfill the purposes for which the endowments were established. The Institute's Investment and Executive Committees determine the method to be used to appropriate endowment funds for expenditure. The appropriation amounts are determined as of the end of the year, prior to when it becomes available for expenditure, and is equal to the spendable amount or additional amounts as approved by the Executive Committee during the year. Depending upon market conditions and the needs and available resources of the Institute, appropriations for expenditure from individual endowments may be temporarily suspended to facilitate preservation of the endowment or in excess of the spending policy as deemed prudent by the Committees.
Part III, Line 4	Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.	The Institute's permanent collection consists of art objects as well as the holdings of the libraries. All works of art and certain library collections are held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance of the Institute's exempt purpose.
Part III, Line 1a	Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o	From Page 7 of the Institute's Consolidated Audited Financial Statements: "Art Objects and Library Collections - The value of the art objects in the permanent collection, as well as the holdings of the libraries, is excluded from the consolidated statements of financial position. Additions to the permanent collection are made either by gifts, bequests, or through purchases using Institute acquisition funds. Institute acquisition funds may be classified as permanently restricted, for which only the income earned on principal balances may be used for acquisitions; temporarily restricted, for which both the principal and earned income may be used for acquisitions; or unrestricted, representing funds designated by the Board to be used for acquisitions.The withdrawal of works of art from the collection of the Institute is performed in accordance with a formal policy adopted in 1975. The objects are generally offered for sale at a public auction, and the proceeds from such sales are classified as temporarily restricted for the purchase of works of art. All works of art and certain library collections are held for public exhibition, education, or research; are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and preserved; and are subject to strict organizational policies governing their use. The value of the Institute's permanent collection is not subject to reasonable estimation."

Sch J, Part I, Line 8	Part I, Line 8: Amounts reported on 990 VII pursuant to initial contract exemption described in Regs	The payments reported in Form 990, Part VII for the Former President of the School of the Art Institute, were paid pursuant to a contract that was subject to the initial contract exception described in Regs. Section 53.4958-4(a)(3). The initial contract exception applies because the payments were made pursuant to a written contract and, as a new hire with no previous connection to the organization, Mr. Reiter was not a disqualified person immediately prior to entering the contract. The payments were fixed payments as defined under Regs. Section 53.4958-4(a)(3)(ii). Although the initial contract exception applies to these payments, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees reviewed compensation survey data prepared by the Institute's outside compensation expert and considered other relevant factors to determine the appropriate initial offer. One member of the Executive Committee, an independent Trustee, then oversaw the ensuing contract negotiations. The Institute's outside compensation expert was consulted during the course of the negotiations to assure that the compensation under discussion was competitively reasonable. The final terms were reviewed by the compensation expert, who determined that the total remuneration was competitively reasonable, and then approved by the independent Trustee in consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The total remuneration contained in the final compensation package was consistent with the package approved by the Executive Committee. The Board of Trustees received a description of the terms of the compensation package before voting to hire Mr. Reiter.
Sch J, Part I, Line 1a	Part I, Line 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a.	First class travel is allowed under limited circumstances as set forth in the travel policy.

Schedule B, Special Rules, Box 1	The Art Institute of Chicago is exempt under two categories listed in Schedule A Part I, box 2 which describes a school, section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii) and box 7 which describes an organization that normally receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit or from the general public, Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).The Art Institute of Chicago has selected box 2, because per instructions only one applicable box should be checked. Because the Institute is also exempt under Schedule A Part I box 7, Schedule B Parts I and II have been completed under the Special Rules Box 1 as the Institute has met the 33 1/3% support test of the regulations under sections 509(a)(1)/170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
Form 990, Part VII, Line 1a, Column B	The amount of hours per week devoted to position has been noted as 1 hour for all Trustees. The amount of hours per week devoted by Trustees varies depending on the position held and the committees the Trustee devotes time to.
Form 990, Part V, Line 7h	Form 1098-C is not applicable to the Institute.
Form 990, Part V, Line 7g	The Institute is not required to file Form 8899. The Institute receives contributions of intellectual property from time to time, however, the type of property contributed does not meet the definition of "qualified intellectual property" for Form 8899 filing purposes.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available	The Institute's governing documents are available to the public via written request to the Institute and in addition, in part through applicable governmental agencies. The Institute's financial statements are available to the public via the Institute's own website, via the Illinois Attorney General's website and upon written request.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees	The Institute's Executive Committee, composed entirely of independent Trustees, approves compensation for the President and Director of the Museum and for the President of the School. The Institute's Compensation Committee, composed entirely of independent Trustees and Life Trustees, approves compensation for other employed officers and for certain key employees. The two committees use the following process in considering compensation. The Institute's outside compensation expert prepares a written compensation analysis report for each person whose compensation is to be presented to either the Executive Committee or the Compensation Committee. That report includes information such as a valuation of the proposed total remuneration, comparison data on total remuneration provided by similar institutions for similar services, an analysis of how the proposed remuneration compares to competitive practice, and conclusions on the competitive reasonableness of the proposed compensation. The report is provided to the Committee in advance of the meeting. The Committee may also receive other written materials relevant to compensation, such as performance evaluations.At the meeting, the compensation expert and/or the Institute's Vice President for Human Resources reviews the compensation analysis report with the Committee. The Committee also receives input from officers and Trustees on the performance of the persons being reviewed. Committee deliberations and decisions on compensation are documented in contemporaneous meeting minutes. In the case of the President and Director of the Museum, the President, Provost, and Dean of Faculty of the School, the decisions may be reflected in employment contracts as well.For key employees' whose compensation is not reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, their compensation is generally based on independent salary surveys typically conducted at the time of hire and maintained by the Institute's Human Resources Department and is decided by the employee's supervisor based on factors such as experience and performance.
