Financial Statement Notes

Endowment funds intended uses (Part V, line 4)

“The endowment funds are used for various purposes such as for scholarships, for ecumenism and others.”

Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)

“The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Trust to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Trust. The Trust has determined whether any tax positions met the recognition threshold and has measured its exposure to those tax positions. Management believes the Trust has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. No interest or penalties from federal or state taxing authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Trust is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Trust believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The endowment funds are used for various purposes such as for scholarships, for ecumenism and others.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Trust to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Trust. The Trust has determined whether any tax positions met the recognition threshold and has measured its exposure to those tax positions. Management believes the Trust has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. No interest or penalties from federal or state taxing authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Trust is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Trust believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.
