Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“Fostering change for children ltd has adopted accounting standards codification ("asc") 740 "income taxes." asc 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on fostering change for children ltd financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Fostering change for children ltd has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it was nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions.”
