Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“Catalyst is organized exclusively for charitable, educational and religious purposes and is exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Net unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, was not significant. Catalyst follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Catalyst may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Catalyst and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. Catalyst files forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.”

IRS990/Desc0Catalyst Schools partner with urban communities to offer college-preparatory K-12 education. Each child is given a rigorous academic program suited to his or her needs. In addition, Catalyst helps each child develop positive leadership traits that will help him or her be an asset and change agent in the community. Catalyst's goal is to provide a quality educational choice to families who experience the effects of economic difficulty and who have not been adequately served by existing educational institutions so their children will ultimately graduate from college. Catalyst has two campuses.Circle Rock Elementary School is a Kindergarten through 8th grade school, in the Austin neighborhood and opened in fall 2007, in a building that was purchased in fiscal year 2017. The school operates two classrooms at each grade level with approximately 520 students enrolled.Catalyst Maria Charter School is a Kindergarten through 12th grade school in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. The Catalyst Maria Charter School enrolls 1,100 students. The building is owned and operated by the Catalyst Schools.
