Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The station's activities relating to the operation of its radio station are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (irc). The station qualifies as an organization that is not a private foundation as defined in section 509(a) of the irc. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the station's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that might be uncertain. The station believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. Penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities, if any, would be included in income tax expense.

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Fundraising expenses 95,147. Mango freeze cogs 108,956.

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Fundraising expenses 95,147. Mango freeze cogs 108,956.
