Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The internal revenue service has determined the society and foundation are exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the society or foundations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income (ubi). Since both organizations are exempt from federal income taxes, no provision for income taxes is included in the symphonys accompanying consolidated financial statements. Generally, tax years from 2020 through the current year remain open to examination. The symphony does not believe that the results from the examination of any open years would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS DETERMINED THE SOCIETY AND FOUNDATION ARE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. HOWEVER, INCOME FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SOCIETY OR FOUNDATIONS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME (UBI). SINCE BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES IS INCLUDED IN THE SYMPHONYS ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. GENERALLY, TAX YEARS FROM 2020 THROUGH THE CURRENT YEAR REMAIN OPEN TO EXAMINATION. THE SYMPHONY DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT THE RESULTS FROM THE EXAMINATION OF ANY OPEN YEARS WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
