“There were no changes to the audit selection process from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, except for net income derived from unrelated business activities. In addition, the foundation qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and has been classified as an foundation other than a private foundation under irc section 509(a). The foundation's income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed. In evaluating the foundation's activities, management believes its position of tax-exempt status is based on current facts and circumstances and there have been no uncertain positions taken related to recording income taxes. In the opinion of management there are no activities unrelated to the purpose of the foundation and therefore no tax is to be recognized.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Special events expense 18,089.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Special events expense 18,089.”
