Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Stem preparatory academy is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under the internal revenue code, classified by the internal revenue service as other than a private foundation and is similarly exempt from state income taxes. Stem accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a more likely than not threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under examination by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a cumulative probability assessment that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Tax positions for stem include, but are not limited to, the tax-exempt status and determination of whether income is subject to unrelated business income tax; however, stem has determined that such tax positions do not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition.
