Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Part I, Line 4b
- NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN: EDWARD SULLIVAN, PRESIDENT During the year ended June 30, 2020, Scenic Hudson, Inc. ("SH") and Edward Sullivan, President of SH, entered into a long-term employment agreement under IRC Section 457(f). The terms of the agreement run through January 31, 2025 at which time Mr. Sullivan will complete his commitment and receive a one-time lump sum payment of $400,000. Since Mr. Sullivan provides essential services to The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. ("SHLT"), which has no employees, SHLT has agreed to provide SH with funds sufficient to enable SH to make payments due under the plan. Accordingly, SHLT will recognize this obligation over the term of the agreement. During the year ended June 30, 2023, SHLT recognized $80,000 of expense related to the agreement which is included in the amount reported on part II, column C. .
