Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The school is a non-profit entity exempt from the payment of income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and california revenue and taxation code section 23701d. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. Management has determined that all income tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon potential audit or examination; therefore, no disclosures of uncertain income tax positions are required. The school files informational returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction, and the state of california. The statute of limitations for federal and california state purposes is generally three and four years, respectively.”
