“FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2: FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT FROM FOOTNOTES OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The Association is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") of 1986, as amended, as an organization described in Section 501(c)(6) of the IRC. However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Association's exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Association had unrelated business income related to paid advertising in their publications of approximately $323,000 and $266,000 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. THIS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME WAS OFFSET BY ELIGIBLE EXPENSES GREATER THAN INCOME EARNED RESULTING IN NO NET UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014. ACCORDINGLY NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN MADE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Financial Accounting Standards Board provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the consolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Association's tax return to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions. The Association is relying on its tax-exempt status and its adherence to all applicable laws and regulations to preserve that status. However, the conclusions regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. The Association is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2011.”
