Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE M, PART I, COLUMN (B): THE UNIVERSITY IS REPORTING THE NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED.
Schedule M, Part I, Line 32b, Third parties used to solicit, process, or sell noncash contributions THIRD PARTIES, SUCH AS AUCTION HOUSES OR BROKERS, MAY BE USED TO SELL NON-CASH CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE UNIVERSITY, BUT NOT TO PROCESS OR SOLICIT ANY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
Schedule M, Part I, Line 33, Explanation of revenues not reported SFAS 116 PROVIDES THAT CONTRIBUTIONS OF WORKS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES, AND SIMILAR ASSETS NEED NOT BE RECOGNIZED AS REVENUES AND CAPITALIZED IF THE DONATED ITEMS ARE ADDED TO COLLECTIONS THAT ARE HELD FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION, EDUCATION, OR RESEARCH IN FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC SERVICE RATHER THAN FINANCIAL GAIN. THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT REPORT REVENUES FOR GIFTS-IN-KIND INTENDED FOR DISPLAY OR IMMATERIAL AMOUNTS. THE FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBING COLLECTIONS FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: "THE UNIVERSITY'S VAST ARRAY OF MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES HOUSES PRICELESS WORKS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES, LITERARY WORKS, AND ARTIFACTS. THESE COLLECTIONS ARE PROTECTED AND PRESERVED FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION, EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND THE FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC SERVICES. THEY ARE NEITHER DISPOSED OF FOR FINANCIAL GAIN NOR ENCUMBERED IN ANY MANNER. ACCORDINGLY, SUCH COLLECTIONS ARE NOT RECORDED FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES." NOT ALL GIFTS ARE ART GIVEN WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING DISPLAYED. THERE MAY BE INSTANCES WHERE A GIFT OF ART IS MADE WITH THE PURPOSE OF BEING SOLD AND THE PROCEEDS BENEFITING A SPECIFIC PURPOSE OR UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY. IN SUCH CASES, THE SALE PROCEEDS WOULD BE RECORDED AS GIFT REVENUE AT THE TIME OF SALE.
SCHEDULE M, PART I, LINE 33, OTHER NONCASH CONTRIBUTIONS: CERTAIN NONCASH CONTRIBUTIONS LISTED IN PART I HAVE NOT REPORTED AN AMOUNT IN PART I, COLUMN (C). NO AMOUNT IS REPORTED FOR THESE CONTRIBUTIONS EITHER BECAUSE THEY ARE INTENDED FOR DISPLAY, AS DISCUSSED ABOVE, OR BECAUSE THE VALUE OF THE NONCASH CONTRIBUTION IS IMMATERIAL.
