Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11
“The organization's federal form 990 was provided to and made available to its audit committee for review by its members prior to filing with the irs. Subsequent to the audit committee review, the organization made its 990 available to all members of its board of directors for their review. The audit committee has the responsibility to oversee, revise and approve the federal form 990, including the preparation, review and filing process. As part of the tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional cpa firm with experience and expertise in not-for-profit tax return preperation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's finance personnel and other individuals for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other individuals reviewed the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals for final review and approval prior to presentation of the federal form 990 to the organization's audit committee and thereafter provided to all members of the organization's board of directors.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy annually. All members of the board of directors, officers and senior management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the organization's cfo for review. The organization's cfo prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual by individual basis. Thereafter, the organization's cfo presents this summary to the board of directors for its review and discussion.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The organizaton's ceo is currently uncompensated however compensation for the ceo, if compensated, would be determined as follows. Compensation for the ceo is discussed and determined by the board of directors, taking into account compensation packages of comparable organizations. The board discusses the ceo's compensation and applicable comparable salary data. The independent board members then determine the compensation without the non-independent board members present. The offer of employment for the ceo is formally extended by the board chair. Compensation for the coo is also determined by the board of directors, with input and suggestions from the ceo, taking into account compensation packages for comparable positions at comparable organizations. This methodology would also be used for future officers and key employees, if and when applicable.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The organization makes its 990 and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

| IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt | 0 | ALTHOUGH THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE OF UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE AND ACHIEVEMENT INC. ("UKA") FOR ITS TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING 7-01-2015 AND ENDING 6-30-2016 WAS LESS THAN 33 1/3% UNDER THE "33 PERCENT TEST" OF TREASURY REGULATIONS ("TREAS. REG.") SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(2), UKA NONETHELESS MEETS THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES" TEST OF TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). TO MEET THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST OF TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3), UKA MUST SATISFY THE FOLLOWING THREE REQUIREMENTS (EACH OF WHICH IS DISCUSSED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW): (1) IT MUST NORMALLY RECEIVE SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS; (2) IT MUST BE ORGANIZED AND OPERATED AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS; AND (3) IT MUST, BASED ON ALL PERTINENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, BE "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED" WITHIN THE MEANING OF TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). 1. UKA NORMALLY RECEIVES SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL UNITSTO MEET THE FACTS-AND-CIRCUMSTANCES TEST OF TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3), UKA MUST " NORMALLY RECEIVE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, FROM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OR FROM A COMBINATION OF THESE SOURCES." TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(4)(II) CLARIFIES THAT THE TERM "NORMALLY" GENERALLY REFERS TO THE TAXABLE YEAR AND THE FOUR YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE TAXABLE YEAR, DETERMINED ON AN AGGREGATE BASIS, AND TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I) PROVIDES THAT THE TERM "SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT" MEANS AT LEAST 10% OF THE SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED BY SUCH ORGANIZATION. UKA'S PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR ITS TAXABLE YEAR BEGINNING 7-01-2015 AND ENDING 6-30-2016, WHICH IS CALCULATED ON AN AGGREGATE BASIS OVER THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE PAST FOUR YEARS, EXCEEDS 10%. ACCORDINGLY, UKA IS CONSIDERED TO NORMALLY RECEIVE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PUBLIC WITHIN THE MEANING OF TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). (BY WAY OF COMPARISON, UKA'S PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE THREE PRIOR TAXABLE YEARS WAS, STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT YEAR, 29.00%, 38.33%, AND 92.81%.)2. UKA IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORTAN ORGANIZATION IS OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT IF IT " MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, COMMUNITY, OR MEMBERSHIP GROUP, OR IF IT CARRIES ON ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS OR OTHER [PUBLIC CHARITIES]." TREAS. REG. SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(D)(3)(III) FURTHER PROVIDES THAT EVIDENCE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT INCLUDES THE RECEIPT BY AN ORGANIZATION OF A SIGNIFICANT PART OF ITS FUNDS FROM A PUBLIC CHARITY OR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY TO WHICH IT IS IN SOME WAY HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS A CONDITION OF THE GRANT, CONTRACT, OR CONTRIBUTION. THIS FACTOR IN PARTICULAR IS APPLICABLE TO UKA. DURING ITS 2014 FISCAL YEAR UKA RECEIVED A $5,000,000 RECOVERABLE GRANT FROM A PUBLIC CHARITY, TO BE USED OVER AN INDETERMINATE LENGTH OF TIME, TO ALLOW UKA TO PROVIDE FINANCING AND SUPPORT TO AN ORGANIZATION CREATING DIGITAL EDUCATION PRODUCTS. THIS RECOVERABLE GRANT IS NOT REFLECTED IN UKA'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED REVENUE UNDER UKA'S METHOD OF BOOKKEEPING (I.E., GAAP); RATHER, IT IS REPORTED BY UKA AS A DEFERRED REVENUE LIABILITY. (IN FACT, IF THE REFUNDABLE GRANT WERE INCLUDED IN UKA'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE THEN UKA WOULD EASILY MEET THE 33 PERCENT TEST.) THE PUBLIC CHARITY DONOR DESIGNED THE GRANT TO BE RECOVERABLE SO THAT THE DONOR COULD MONITOR UKA'S PERFORMANCE AS A CHARITY, AND IF/WHEN THE GRANT IS RECOVERED THE PUBLIC CHARITY CAN DECIDE WHETHER TO CONVERT THE RECOVERABLE GRANT INTO AN UNRESTRICTED GRANT TO UKA. THE FACT THAT UKA IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO A PUBLIC CHARITY THROUG |
