Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“NBPC is required under U.S. accounting standards to recognize or derecognize its tax position based on a more likely than not threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of this requirement did not have an impact on NBPCs tax-exempt status or on its financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. NBPC currently has processes in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status. These include identifying and reporting unrelated income as well as determining and meeting its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions in which it operates and reviewing other matters that may be considered tax positions. NBPCs federal and state tax returns Returns of Organizations Exempt from Income Tax for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities generally for three years after being filed.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Digital Media Program Development:Through its digital media initiatives, NBPC produces interactive multimedia projects such as Black Folk Dont, provides funding to independent producers creating web based media, and acquires completed short programs for distribution on PBS.org. NBPC ran its first ever Hackathon, inviting four producers to work with developers to create gaming prototypes of the non fiction program. NBPC partnered with Blackout for Human Rights, to produce a live stream panel of experts and artists discussing the Flint, Michigan water crisis. The live stream was hosted by Van Jones. NBPC acquired Teacher from Project Involve for the PBS Online Film Festival. NBPCs digital media footprint has produced a robust media website that offers a thoughtful and insightful look into the experiences of African Americans and the people of the African Diaspora.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0NBPC is required under U.S. accounting standards to recognize or derecognize its tax position based on a more likely than not threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of this requirement did not have an impact on NBPCs tax-exempt status or on its financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. NBPC currently has processes in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status. These include identifying and reporting unrelated income as well as determining and meeting its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions in which it operates and reviewing other matters that may be considered tax positions. NBPCs federal and state tax returns Returns of Organizations Exempt from Income Tax for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities generally for three years after being filed.
