Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The internal revenue service (irs) has determined the institute to be exempt from federal tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the institute qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under section 509(a)(2). Therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the accompanying financial statements. The institute files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the institute is no longer subject to u. S. Federal examinations by tax authorities for years before september 30, 2010. The institute has not had any business income unrelated to its exempt purpose and, therefore, has not filed income tax returns in any jurisdiction.”
