Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c) (3) of the internal revenue code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose would be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Management has considered the tax positions taken in its tax returns and believes that all of the positions taken by forward cities, inc. In its federal exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Generally, tax returns remain open for three years for examination by taxing authorities. Management does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions; therefore, the organization did not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C) (3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. HOWEVER, INCOME FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. MANAGEMENT HAS CONSIDERED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN IN ITS TAX RETURNS AND BELIEVES THAT ALL OF THE POSITIONS TAKEN BY FORWARD CITIES, INC. IN ITS FEDERAL EXEMPT ORGANIZATION TAX RETURNS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. GENERALLY, TAX RETURNS REMAIN OPEN FOR THREE YEARS FOR EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT DOES NOT BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS; THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT RECOGNIZE ANY LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS.
