General ExplanationSchedule A, Part IV, Supplemental Information: Other income is an accumulation of individually insignificant transactions of revenues and expenses incurred during normal day-to-day operations of the Organization and were not orginally recorded in specific income or expense accounts during the year. For financial reporting purposes this accumulated balance was deemed immaterial and remained separately reported on the Organization's financial statements as 'Miscellaneous revenues and (losses).' Additionally, a portion of other income is due to unused grant expenditures that were refunded to the Organization during the year.GeneralExplanation

Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:Income Taxes - The National Office is a not-for-profit corporation and has been recognized as exempt from federal income taxes on related income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). At times the National Office may be engaged in certain activities unrelated to the mission of the National Office for which it is responsible for payment of unrelated business income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recorded or settled. Income taxes did not have a material impact on the financial position or change in net assets of the National Office as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The National Office adopted certain provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 "Income Taxes" relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2009. This standard requires that the Foundation recognize in its financial statements the financial effects of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, including any appeals or litigation processes, based upon the technical merits of the position. Also this standard recognizes related guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. The implementation of this standard had no impact on the National Office's statement of financial position or statement of activities and management does not believe that there are any unrecognized tax benefits or costs that should be recorded.
Part XI, Line 8 - Other Adjustments:- Net change in valuation of split interest agreement. - Net assets for chapters which relinquished charters. - Net assets for chapters added to combined
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Net of rental expense and change in valuation of split interest agreements.
Part XIII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Net rental expense and rounding variance between financials and Form 990.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Form 990 was prepared by a public accounting firm with input from the Foundation's accounting staff and CFO. A draft copy of the Form 990 was reviewed by key accounting staff and senior management, including the Foundation's COO. Each person individually reviewed the Form (including schedules) and submitted questions or comments to management as necessary. Questions and comments were resolved appropriately to the satisfaction of the Foundation's CFO. The Form 990 (including schedules) was then reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at a scheduled meeting. Comments and suggested changes were incorporated into a subsequent draft of the Form 990, the final draft of the Form 990 was presented to the full Board of Directors prior to submission. The final filed form is made available to the public via the Foundation's website and the final filed version was provided to each member of the Audit Committee.
At least annually, all employees must sign a Conflict of Interest disclosure form. Volunteers in positions of governance such as for Board members, Committee members and ad hoc task force members shall complete a conflict of interest disclosure form annually and prior to initial appointment to serve in these various positions. The board of directors audit committee reviews and adjudicates potential volunteer conflicts. If potential conflicts exist as to Arthritis Foundation Staff, the appropriate management and/or the Human Resources department shall address them.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
The Compensation and Personnel Committee met on 10/04/10 to review total compensation and benefits for the CEO and nine other key employees. The Committee received compensation reports prepared by an independent compensation consultant, James E. Rocco Associates, and reviewed the comparative analysis of market data for peer organizations with the total compensation paid by the Arthritis Foundation for each position. It was the consultant's unreserved opinion that the base salaries and total compensation provided to the Foundation's ten senior management executives, including the CEO, meet all standards of reasonableness and are not excessive. The Committee meets annually to complete this review and reports to the Board of Directors.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
