Part III, Line 4:The Society has a collection of inexhaustible arts and books. The items are on display at the Society's offices located in the Boston National Historical Park. They reveal not only the history of a distinguished institution but also help tell the story of one of the America's oldest and most important ports.
Part X:In accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Society is exempt from federal and state income taxes and, accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. These determinations have been reviewed according to guidance in a recent Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, the Society now 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 the ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2011, the Society has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:
