Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation applies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes guidance, fasb codification topic 740, "accounting for income taxes". The accounting guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties and disclosures required. The foundation recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the applicable operating expense account. Federal and state tax returns for calendar years 2013 through 2016 remain open and are subject to examination.”
