Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“Zara Aina complies with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on Zara Aina's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Zara Aina has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. Zara Aina's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt for Income Tax, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.”

IRS990/Desc0Youth Company & Antananarivo Clubhouse: In 2019, Zara Ainas programming closely mirrored 2018. Again in the Fall, the Malagasy staff facilitated, created, and produced a large show at the American Embassy and took it on tour, all on their own.There continue to be approximately 15 children served in Years 1-3 of our theater programming, as well as approximately 15 street children from the surrounding neighborhood.The 4th year curriculum continues to focus on test preparation, English and French classes, and career development, with internships at the Center, students enrolled in vocational training, and students in outside internships as well. For the first time in Zara Ainas history, one of our original students was given a job at a bakery, after completing his internship there.Andtwo female students passed their national exams, and began attending High School. The Malagasy staff partnered with German NGO GIZ and Catholic Relief Services for Theater for Development projects in locations outside the capital city of Antanarivo.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Zara Aina complies with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on Zara Aina's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Zara Aina has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. Zara Aina's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt for Income Tax, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
