Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The foundation has adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the foundation and the continued tax-exempt status of various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (ubti). At december 31, 2016, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities.

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0AS CALCULATED IN PART II OF SCHEDULE A, AMERICAN HEARING RESEARCH FOUNDATION ("THE FOUNDATION") FAILED TO MEET THE 33 1/3% TEST, RECEIVING 26.3% OF ITS SUPPORT DURING THE PERIOD 2012-2016 FROM PUBLIC SUPPORT. THIS BEING SO, THE FOUNDATION STILL SATIFIES THE REQUIREMENT FOR NON-PRIVATE STATUS AS SET FORTH IN CODE SECTION 1.170 A-9 (E)(3)(I)-(V) AND (VII). (I) THE FOUNDATION NORMALLY RECEIVES MORE THAN 10% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS OR FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. (II) THE FOUNDATION IS CONTINUALLY RECEIVING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FIRST-TIME DONORS. OVER 350 DIFFERENT DONORS HAVE CONTRIBUTED AT LEAST ONCE TO THE FOUNDATION IN THE PAST 5 YEARS ALONE. (III) ABOUT HALF OF THE FOUNDATION'S INCOME IS RECEIVED THROUGH INVESTMENTS. IT HAS BEEN THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT PUT THE PERCENTAGE WELL OVER 10%. (IV) THE SOURCE OF THE FOUNDATION'S SUPPORT IS NOT LIMITED TO ANY FAMILY, COMMUNITY, REGION, OR INTEREST. (V) THERE IS A BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT GOVERNS THE FOUNDATION WHICH CONSISTS OF UNCOMPENSATED MEMBERS. (VII) THE ACTIVITIES OF THE FOUNDATION ARE LIKELY TO APPEAL TO MANY DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING MEDICAL RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSES, PREVENTIONS, AND CURES FOR HEARING RELATED DISORDERS. BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION ACTIVELY SEEKS BROAD PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION IS NOT ORGANIZED OR OPERATED TO BENEFIT ANY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL OR HIS/HER FAMILY, THE FOUNDATION DOES SATISFY THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST AS SET FORTH IN CODE SECTION 1.170A-9(E) (3).
