Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Needed text in order to check box”

Part III, Line 4

“Over its 275 of existence members have donated clocks, books and papers, regalia, paintings, etc. The majority of these artifacts are held by the museum of national heritage and are used from time to time in their exhibits. Some of the items, such as clocks, and some of the paintings are used and on display at the grand lodge building.”

Part V, Line 4

“The grand lodge offers educational programs for its members, scholarships for undergraduate students, a child identification program, the overlook masonic health system, as well as donations to local charities like the salvation army, red cross, etc.”

Part X, Line 2

“The grand lodge accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position. Under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authroity if a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The grand lodge has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as a tax position, however the grand lodge has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The grand lodge is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions. The grand lodge's federal and state tax returns are open for examination for three years following the date filed.”
