PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED AS DECREASES IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED, OR AS DECREASES IN TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS IF THE ASSETS USED TO PURCHASE THE ITEMS ARE RESTRICTED BY DONORS. MOAR FOLLOWS STANDARD PRACTICE IN THE FIELD IN THE CARE AND CONSERVATION OF ITS COLLECTION. PART III, LINE 4: OVER THE COURSE OF NEARLY A CENTURY, THE VALLEY FORGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY ASSEMBLED A RICH COLLECTION OF SEVERAL THOUSAND HISTORICAL OBJECTS, WORKS OF ART, MANUSCRIPTS AND PRINTED WORKS FROM THE PERIOD OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. THE COLLECTION WAS TRANSFERRED TO MOAR IN 2003 AND HAS CONTINUED TO GROW THROUGH GIFTS OF COLLECTION ITEMS AND PURCHASES. THE COLLECTION INCLUDES ITEMS THAT REFLECT THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL AND MILITARY HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, AS WELL AS ITEMS THAT DOCUMENT THE COMMEMORATION AND POPULAR MEMORY OF THE ERA THROUGH THE 20TH CENTURY. THE COLLECTION IS BEING MAINTAINED FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH IN FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC SERVICE, RATHER THAN FOR FINANCIAL GAIN. MOAR IS USING ITS COLLECTION IN A NEW, NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT MUSEUM, WHICH OPENED IN APRIL 2017, TO BRING TO LIFE THE FULL STORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. PART V, LINE 4: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS SEVERAL STANDING BOARD POLICIES THAT DESIGNATE, FROM NET ASSETS WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS, BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENTS AND RESERVES, WHICH ARE FOR LONG-TERM INVESTMENT TO FUND MOAR PROGRAMS. $500,000 AND $83,173 OF THE PERMANENTLY AND TEMPORARILY RESTICTED FUNDS, RESPECTIVELY, ARE TO BE USED FOR AWARDS WITH THE REMAINING ENDOWMENTS WITH DONOR RESTRICTIONS TO BE USED TO SUPPORT GENERAL OPERATIONS.

U.S. GAAP REQUIRES MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY, IF MOAR HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY A GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY MOAR AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MOAR RECOGNIZES ACCRUED INTEREST AND PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, IF ANY. THERE WERE NO INCOME TAX RELATED INTEREST AND PENALTIES RECORDED FOR EITHER OF THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 OR 2024. PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: INVESTMENT INCOME 3,733,503.
