Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:
“There has been no change in the process for reviewing audited financial statements or the selection of an independent auditor.”
FORM 990, PART X, LINE 12:
“Investment in niskayuna partners, lp in 2008, a limited partner interest of 98.9% of niskayuna partners, lp was donated to the schenectady foundation. The sole asset in niskayuna partners, lp was a note receivable from cyclics corporation. The schenectady foundation has been properly reporting their share of the niskayuna partners, lp assets (cyclics corporation note receivable) on form 990, part x, balance sheet of $3,993,382 along with the interest income received from niskayuna partners, lp on form 990, part viii, statement of revenue. The note receivable in niskayuna partners, lp is dependent upon the ability of cyclics corporation to re-pay this highly subordinated debt. In 2015, the schenectady foundation became aware that cyclics corporation was operating with significant losses and is assumed to have no value as of december 31, 2014. Therefore, the note receivable from cyclics corporation is believed to have no significant fair market value. In addition, after years of operating at significant losses, the only asset left in cyclics corporation was some intellectual property that was valued at $2,040,000. Cyclics corporation spun this asset of intellectual property into a new company called liquid thermo plastics, inc. The owners of this new company were the various primary creditors of cyclics corporation. Niskayuna partners, lp was a primary creditor of cyclics corporation and therefore became an owner of liquid thermo plastics, inc. This transaction reduced the cyclics corporation note receivable on niskayuna partners, lp by $100,000. Since liquid thermo plastics, inc. Was created, it too has operated at losses diminishing the value of the company. Liquid thermo plastics, inc. Is believed to have no significant fair market value currently, and there is a remote chance it will have value in the future. Due to the fact that the cyclics corporation note receivable and the ownership interest in liquid thermo plastics, inc. Are believed to have no significant fair market value, the schenectady foundation has reported $0 value to the 98.9% limited partner interest in niskayuna partners, lp for the year ended december 31, 2014. This is consistent with the audited financial statements of the schenectady foundation.”
