Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“THE SCHOOL USES ENDOWMENT FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHOOL'S MISSION TO help bright students who learn differently, or have yet to reach their academic potential, develop the confidence, strategies, and knowledge to become lifelong learners, thinkers, and problem-solvers.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The School is a nonprofit organization exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Management has reviewed tax positions taken in filings with federal and state jurisdictions and believes those positions would be sustained should the filings be examined by the relevant taxing authority. Should settlement of an examination, or other event, result in a change in management's evaluation of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in filings that have not been closed by statute or examination, any tax, interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefit, as a result of the uncertain tax position, would be in the provision for income taxes, interest expense, and operating expenses, respectively.”

Part XI, Line 4B - Other Adjustments:

“Grants paid to individuals in the us”

Part XII, Line 4B - Other Adjustments:

“Grants paid to individuals in the us”
