Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“Income Taxes - The Institute is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Institute has also received recognition of its exempt status from California and Washington D.C. The Institute has applied the accounting principles related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and has determined that there is no material impact on the financial statements. The Institute's status as a publicly supported charity is subject to the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) 5-year look back period which requires a reporting of the Institute's revenue sources through the end of 2019. Failure to meet the criteria for classification as a publicly supported charity could result in the Institute being declared a private foundation. The Institute's management believes that it will satisfy the IRS' required criteria and will be able to maintain its publicly supported charity status.”

Part XI, Line 2D - Other Adjustments:

“Net Grants Included in Temporarily Restricted Assets 4872174.”
