Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The foundation and the related supporting organizations are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the foundation qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a).the related supporting organizations are exempt from federal income tax under section 509(a)(3) of the internal revenue code. Income which is not related to the foundation's exempt purposes, less applicable deductions, is subject to state and federal income taxes. The foundation follows accounting standards 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 consolidated financial statements. Under this 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. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated 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. 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. Management evaluated the foundation's tax position and concluded that the foundation had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, the foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the u.s. Federal, state and local tax authority for years before 2014.”
