Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The academy is organized as a utah nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the internal revenue service (irs) as exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(a) of the internal revenue code as organizations described in section 501(c)(3), qualify for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi) and (viii), and has been determined not to be private foundations under sections 509(a)(1) and (3), respectively. The academy is annually required to file a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) with the irs. In addition, the academy is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to their exempt purposes. The academy has determined it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an exempt organization business income tax return (form 990-t) with the irs. The academy believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The academy would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.”
