Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

Adjustment for previously recorded membership dues -20,000.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The foundation accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The foundation has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as a tax position; however, however, the foundation has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The foundation is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions. The foundation's federal and state tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.
