“The Foundation has adopted FASB 740 with no cumulative effect adjustment. The Foundation evaluates all significant tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As of year end the Foundation does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The Foundations tax returns are subject to examination by the taxing authorities generally for a period of 3 years after they are filed.”

The Foundation evaluates all significant tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As of year end the Foundation does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The Foundations tax returns are subject to examination by the taxing authorities generally for a period of 3 years after they are filed. |
