Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation evaluates all significant tax positions as required by gaap. As of october 31, 2015 and 2014, the foundation does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. If the foundation were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest and penalties would be reported as income taxes.”
