Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The 990 is prepared by independent accountants, reviewed by management, presented to the Board for review, proposed revisions and final approval.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Annually conflict of interest statements are required to be signed by each Board member. The statements affirm that the policy has been read & either that no conflict of interest exits or discloses any such conflict.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“In the annual budgeting process, the Board approves a budget line for aggregate salary expense. Thereafter, individual salaries and salary increases for employees are determined by the General Director. The Board of Directors sets the General Director's salary after a performance review and a check of comparable salary information for nonprofit organizations with similar budgets.”

Pt VI, Line 18

“Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request.”

“Equipment & furniture vehicle”

Form 990EZ, Part II, Line 26

“Accounts payable line of credit payroll liabilities loans payable”

Form 990, Part IX, Line 24F

“Other production costs 10397. 10397. 0. 0. Asheville guild opera recital expenses 64. 64. Membership fees 1049. 1049. Fundraising expenses 4665. 4665. Production-theatre rental 5450. 5450. 0. 0.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“ALO is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had less than $1,000 of income from unrelated business activities in 2014-15 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0ALO is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had less than $1,000 of income from unrelated business activities in 2014-15 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
