THE AICPA RULED THAT MUSEUM COLLECTIONS DID NOT NEED TO BE CAPITALIZED; HOWEVER, IF RECORDS AND VALUES EXISTED FOR THE COLLECTIONS, THE DIVISION ENCOURAGED CAPITALIZATION AT COST IF PURCAHSED AND FAIR VALUE IF ACQUIRED BY DONATION.

CONTRIBUTED ARTIFACTS HAVE BEEN CAPITALIZED AT THEIR FAIR MARKET VALUE AT THE DATE OF THE GIFT. THE AMOUNT CAPITALIZED WAS $150,359. BOTH THE ASSOCIATION OF ART MUSEUM DIRECTORS AND THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF STATE AND LOCAL HISTORY ORGANIZATION DENOUNCED THE CAPITALIZATION OF COLLECTIONS. COMMENCING JANUARY 1, 2003, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MUSEUM ACQUIESCED TO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND MANDATED THAT ALL COLLECTIONS BE EXPENSED IN THE YEAR THEY WERE ACQUIRED. THE PRIOR YEAR AMOUNTS OF $150,359 CAPITALIZED AS MUSEUM COLLECTIONS WERE CHARGED AGAINST UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS. false WHALES TALE GOLF OUTING 92004 92004 40831 92004 92004 40831 40831 51173 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A DRAFT COPY OF FORM 990 IS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c THE WHALING MUSEUM SOCIETY INC.
