Financial Statement Notes

PART IV, LINE 2B:

Tor, along with other sponsors, acts as an agent on behalf of the privacy enhancing technology symposium (the "conference") by performing administrative functions, including custody of the conference's operating cash account and performance of the cash receipts and cash disbursements functions. Funds held for the conference are segregated from the general assets of tor and are shown on the consolidated statements of financial position as an asset and a corresponding liability in the amounts of $51,973 and $44,575, as of december 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No fees are charged by tor for these services.

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is a nonprofit corporation as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The affiliate is a disregarded entity for tax purposes. As a result, no provision for income taxes is presented in these consolidated financial statements. However, in certain circumstances, the organization may be subject to federal and state income taxes for profits generated from unrelated trade or business income. The organization has determined that it does not have any liabilities associated with unrelated trade or business income. The organization assesses the recording of uncertain tax positions by evaluating the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized as a benefit in the financial statements. The organizations policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, if any, in its consolidated statements of activities. The organization has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as of december 31, 2013 or 2012. The organization does not expect any material change in uncertain tax benefits within the next twelve months. The organization is currently not under examination by any taxing authorities and is generally open to examination for three years from the date of filing.
