Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“No provision has been made for income taxes since the library qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the internal revenue code, section 501(c)(3), and its activities do not result in any income tax liability. The library has been classified as a library that is not a private foundation under section 509(a)(2). In accordance with the section of the financial accounting standards board accounting standards codification regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the library is required to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position if it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination. The library has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition in the financial statements. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the library's tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities, and that the library will not be subject to additional tax penalties and interest as a result of such challenge.”
