Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, line 9:

“Change in value of fiduciary agreements & annuities -299,027.”

Form 990, Page 12, Part XII, Line 2C

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed since the prior year.”

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 consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of June 30, 2016, Back to the Bible Foundation (BBF) had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The BBF's federal Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax Form 990 for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of June 30, 2016, Back to the Bible Foundation (BBF) had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The BBF's federal Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax Form 990 for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
