Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Income Taxes

“Afsl has applied for and received a determination letter from the irs to be treated as a tax exempt entity pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and did not have any unrelated business income for the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Due to its tax exempt status, afsl is not subject to income taxes. Afsl is required to file and does file tax returns with the irs and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and afsl has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. Tax returns filed by the organization are subject to examination by the irs for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the irs, tax years since 2013 remain open.”
