Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

“Increase in non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability -33,636. Transfer of net assets to successor organization -41,068.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Gaap requires that a 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 lmi's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Lmi's form 990, return of organization exempt from income tax, for the years ended december 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are subject to examination by the internal revenue service, generally for three years after they were filed.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Change in non-qualified deferred compensation obligation 33,635.”

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0BASED ON THIS OCCURRENCE, LMI INVOKES THE ALTERNATIVE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES - PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST SINCE IT DID RECEIVE AT LEAST 10% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ADDITIONALLY, LMI IS IN THE NATURE OF A PUBLICLY-SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION AS A PRODUCER AND DISSEMINATOR OF EDUCATIONAL, INFORMATIONAL, CULTURAL AND PUBLIC SERVICE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING.TEN-PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT REQUIREMENTLMI HAS HISTORICALLY QUALIFIED AS A NON-PRIVATE FOUNDATION USING THE ONE-THIRD PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE TEST, WHICH BY FAR EXCEEDS THE TEN PERCENT SUPPORT TEST, THEREBY QUALIFYING ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT AS SUBSTANTIAL. HISTORICAL PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGES HAVE BEEN: 37.58%, 34.56% AND 35.26% FOR THE YEARS 2003, 2004 AND 2005, RESPECTIVELY. YEAR 2006 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT LMI FAILED TO MEET THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE TEST AT 22.1748%. IN YEAR 2007 THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 18.9568%. IN THE YEAR 2008 THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 23.11%. IN THE YEAR 2009 THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 16.27%. IN THE YEAR 2010 THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 24.78%. IN THE YEAR 2011, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 30.50%. IN THE YEAR 2012, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 31.05%. IN THE YEAR 2013, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 32.30%. IN THE YEAR 2014, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 32.58%. THE CURRENT TREND IS TOWARDS MEETING THE 33 1/3 % TEST.ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENTLMI WAS ORGANIZED AND HAS OPERATED IN A MANNER TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS, BY MAINTAINING A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION FROM OTHER POTENTIAL BENEFACTOR ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED IN IRC SECTION 509 (A) (2), WHICH ARE INTERESTED IN AND SUPPORTIVE OF ITS PROGRAMS. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TRAVELS ACROSS THE COUNTRY MEETING WITH EXECUTIVES AT NUMEROUS OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS SOLICITING FUNDING FOR ITS PROGRAMMING.FIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS1. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FACTOR - THE CURRENT YEAR PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE OF 27.69% IS EXCEPTIONAL BECAUSE IT IS THE FINAL YEAR OF EXISTENCE FOR LMI. THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT FROM PUBLIC SOURCES IS LOW BECAUSE IT RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SUPPORT FROM A FEW ORGANIZATIONS EACH YEAR.2. SOURCES OF SUPPORT FACTOR - LMI RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM A REPRESENTATIVE NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS EACH YEAR AND NOT ONLY FROM A SINGLE ENTITY, OR INDIVIDUAL/FAMILY.3. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY FACTOR - THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCLUDES COMMUNITY LEADERS, EDUCATORS, APPOINTED OFFICIALS AND PRIVATE EXECUTIVES. IT IS COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS OF DIVERSE EXPERIENCE WITH A FOCUS ON EDUCATION AND THE NEEDS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC.4. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICE FACTOR - LMI, AS AN EDUCATIONAL, OR RESEARCH INSTITUTION REGULARLY PRODUCES PROGRAMMING FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING AIRING AND IT RECEIVES A SIGNIFICANT PART OF ITS FUNDING FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CHARITIES, WHICH HOLD IT ACCOUNTABLE AS A CONDITION OF THE GRANT, OR CONTRIBUTION.5. ADDITIONAL FACTORS PERTINENT TO MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS - NOT APPLICABLE

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 LMI'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AS MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WITHIN ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. LMI'S FORM 990, RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX, FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012, 2013 AND 2014 ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, GENERALLY FOR THREE YEARS AFTER THEY WERE FILED.
