Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 1:

“The organization uses the modified cash basis of accounting. Certain revenues are recognized when received rather than when earned and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred.”

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“There has been no change in the process since the prior year.”

Schedule R, Part V, Column D

“N - the amount of shared facilities is determined by the square footage used by liberty justice center divided by the total square footage leased by illinois policy institute. O - the amount of reimbursement is determined by the portion of operating expenses incurred by liberty justice center that were paid by illinois policy institute.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. As of december 31, 2013, the organization had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The federal and state returns of an organization are generally subject to examination by the internal revenue service and state taxing authorities for three years after they were filed.”
