Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

The Board has established a Finance and Investment Committee to provide oversight and guidance on the Organizations Finances and Investments. The Board approved a formal Investment Policy and the Committee meets periodically to review investment performance as well as to review the audited financial statements, Form 990 before the full Board reviews and approves those documents and other financial matters.

Pt VI, Line 11B

Management reviews the Form 990 prior to filing.

Pt VI, Line 11B

The Form 990 is provided to all board members prior to

Pt VI, Line 11B

filing.

Pt VI, Line 12C

Directors, Officers, or any committee members are to

Pt VI, Line 12C

scrupulously avoid transactions in which a director,

Pt VI, Line 12C

officer, or committee member has a personal or material

Pt VI, Line 12C

financial interest, or with entities of which the

Pt VI, Line 12C

director, officer, or committee member is an officer,

Pt VI, Line 12C

director, or general partner.

Pt VI, Line 12C

The Live Action conflict of interest policy (Addendum B

Pt VI, Line 12C

to bylaws) defines an interested person, financial

Pt VI, Line 12C

interest, and duty to disclose, along with the board

Pt VI, Line 12C

process for determining whether a conflict exists,

Pt VI, Line 12C

procedures for addressing a conflict of interest, and

Pt VI, Line 12C

procedures for addressing a violation of the conflict

Pt VI, Line 12C

of interest policy. In addition, all directors,

Pt VI, Line 12C

officers, and key employees are required to certify on

Pt VI, Line 12C

an annual basis that they have reviewed the policy and

Pt VI, Line 12C

to disclose of any conflicts then known.

Pt VI, Line 15A

See line 15b below:

Pt VI, Line 15B

Compensation is determined in accordance with

Pt VI, Line 15B

Live Action's conflict of interest policy. The policy

Pt VI, Line 15B

requires all compensation arrangements to be reviewed

Pt VI, Line 15B

by the Organization at least every other year to assure

Pt VI, Line 15B

that compensation is reasonable and is the result of

Pt VI, Line 15B

arms-length bargaining.

Pt VI, Line 15B

Live Action has established a Compensation Committee that has conducted a broad study of the market for non-profit and secular positions for similar sized entities that are fast growing, etc., has adopted a compensation philosophy, reviews these numbers annually, and all salaries are at the low end

Pt VI, Line 15B

or below market. Decisions by the Committee are contemporaneously recorded in the minutes of the meeting and reported back to the full Board.

Pt VI, Line 15B

The Committee reviews and approves the Organizations Goals for the year which are in turn approved by the full Board. The compensation process requires all employees to establish performance goals for the year which together with the Organizations performance versus Goals will be the basis for their bonus. The Committee recommends the CEOs Bonus to the full Board which then reviews and determines the final bonus. The Board also reviews the bonuses of Senior Management.

Pt VI, Line 19

Live Action's tax materials are available upon request, as legally required.
