Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“The intended uses of the organization's endowment funds are for scholarships.”

Part X, Line 2:

“In accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the School is exempt from federal and state income taxes and, accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. These determinations have been reviewed according to guidance in a Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, the School applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of August 31, 2016, the School has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”

Part XI, Line 4B - Other Adjustments:

“Financial Aid and Scholarships - $884,307”

Part XII, Line 4B - Other Adjustments:
