Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes 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 that guidance, the foundation 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 the foundation 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% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There was no unrecognized tax benefits identified, or recorded as liabilities for the years ended june 30, 2023 and 2022. The foundation files its forms 990 in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and the office of the state's attorney general for the state of hawaii. The foundation is generally no longer subject to examination by the internal revenue service for year before 2020.”
