Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“Financial statements are distributed to the board members on a regular basis. Audited financial statements are discussed and approved at a board meeting. The audit itself is overseen by the CEO/Executive Director and COO/Deputy Executive Director with regular updates to the Board and in consultation with the Board Treasurer. The board reviews and approves the draft financial statements.”

Form 990, Part X, Line 19

“GeoScienceWorld changed the sales relationships with most of its agents late in fiscal year 2012 resulting in a change of income streams from a royalty base to a subscription base. This business change results in growing deferred revenue as reflected on the Balance Sheet on page 11 of the Form 990.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The following was disclosed related to uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. GeoScienceWorld is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code and is classified as an organization other than a private foundation under 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
