Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“The organization did not change its selection or oversight process in the current year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation received tax-exempt status from the internal revenue service and franchise tax board under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and revenue and taxation code section 23701d, respectively. Since the foundation is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income taxes. The foundation uses the same accounting methods for tax and financial reporting. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The foundation's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed.”
