FIN 48 FootnoteSchedule D-Part XThe University's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is benefical to the University, including any related interest and penalities, when it is more likely than not the position taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such positions as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and, accordingly, no liability has been accrued.
Uses of Endowment FundsSchedule D-Part V, line 4The University's endowment consists of over 800 separate funds established over many years for scholarships, professorships, lectureships, academic programs and awards, building maintenance, and general institutional support. The overall financial objectives of the endowment are to support the current and future operations of Furman University and to preserve and enhance the purchasing power of the University's endowment. The Board of Trustees designates only a portion of the University's cumulative investment return for support of current operations; the remainder is retained to support operations of future years and to offset potential market declines. The amount computed under the endowment spending policy of the investment pool is used to support current operations. The University expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment to maintain its purchasing power by growing at a rate equal to or greater than planned payouts.
Revenue ReconciliationSchedule D-Part XII, line 4bOther amounts included on Form 990, Part VIII, line 12, but not on line 1 above include rental expenses of $804,838, cost of goods sold of $1,478,447 and direct costs of fundraising of $118,404.
Expense ReconciliationPart XIII, Line 2dOther amounts included in total expenses per financial statements, but not on Form 990, Part IX, line 25 include rental expenses of $804,838 cost of goods sold of $1,478,447, and direct costs of fundraising of $118,404.
Collections of Art and Historical TreasuresSchedule D, Part III, Line 4The University has a collection of decorative and fine art materials that is both extensive and diverse. Comprised of over 2,600 objects, many pieces are displayed throughout campus, while others are preserved. The objects have been generously donated to Furman and the objects connect the University to the wider world and are gateways to studying many different time periods, cultures, and disciplines. The collection's main purposes are to preserve the objects for future generations, educational opportunities, and exhibits.
