Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part IX, Line 9

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, the Association adopted the RP-2014 mortality tables, resulting in an approximate $2,700,000 increase in employee benefits expense.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9

Change in value of related party investment - ($39,906); Rounding - $6

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4

To hold, invest, reinvest and disburse funds to further the mission of the Association.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

The Association is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC. The ALA/APA is exempt under Section 501(c)(6) of the IRC. These Section 501(c)(3) and Section 501(c)(6) organizations are taxed only on income classified as unrelated business income. The ALA/APA did not have any unrelated business income for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. The Association has income derived from certain advertising activities that has been determined to be unrelated business income. Unrelated business income is taxed in accordance with federal and state income tax regulations. The provision (recovery) for unrelated business income taxes was $-0- in 2015 and ($1,740) in 2014. The tax years ended 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. Based on the evaluation of the Association's tax positions, management believes all positions taken would be upheld under an examination; therefore, no provision for the effects of uncertain tax positions has been recorded for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014.

Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2D

Cost of goods sold - $674,584; ALA/Allied Professional Association revenues - $183,338; Edwards Trust operating revenues - $47,080; Edwards Trust realized gains - $58,466; Change in value of related party investment - ($39,906)

Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2D

Cost of goods sold - $674,584; ALA/Allied Professional Association expenses - $130,787; Edwards Trust operating expenses - $55,809; Rounding - ($6)
