Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Omi accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asc topic income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Omi performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended december 31, 2024, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have an effect on its tax-exempt status.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY - SINCE OUR LAUNCH AS AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION, THE OPEN MARKETS TEAM HAS FOCUSED ON SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE MONOPOLISTIC PRACTICES AND HARMS OF FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, AND AMAZON. WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE THAT THIS IS NOW A PART OF THE NATIONAL DEBATE AND THE MOMENTUM FOR ACTION. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON ENSURING STRUCTURAL REMEDIES ARE APPLIED TO THE HARMS OF THESE PLATFORM MONOPOLIES, WE PLAN TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND OUR WORK ON TECHNOLOGY AND POWER BEYOND THE THREE BIG PLATFORMS. THE MISSION OF THE TECHNOLOGY & POWER PROGRAM IS TO ENSURE THAT NEW TECHNOLOGIES ALWAYS SERVE THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC AS A WHOLE AND CANNOT BE USED TO CONCENTRATE DANGEROUS DEGREES OF POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE ACTIONS OR THOUGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, OR ENTIRE SOCIETIES.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0COMPETITION LAW AND PHILOSOPHY - OPEN MARKETS SEEKS TO ACCELERATE SHAPING THE DIRECTION OF THE LAW THROUGH RESEARCH AND THE FILING OF AMICUS BRIEFS AND COMMENT LETTERS AND PETITIONS TO FEDERAL AGENCIES IN ANTITRUST CASES AND OTHER COMPETITION POLICY MATTERS. THIS WORK HAS ALREADY HAD INFLUENCE. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS IN DRIVING ACTION THROUGH OUR STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL PROGRAM AS SEEN IN THE TWO MAJOR INVESTIGATIONS ANNOUNCED INTO GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH STATE OFFICES ON ISSUES RELATED TO AGRICULTURE, LABOR, AND HEALTHCARE.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0INTERNATIONAL SYSTEMS - PUBLIC POLICIES THAT AFFECT THE TERMS OF TRADE WITH OTHER NATIONS, INCLUDING TARIFFS, HAVE PROFOUND EFFECTS ON THE STRUCTURE OF MARKETS, RANGING FROM UNWARRANTED PROTECTION FOR DOMESTIC MONOPOLIES TO THE PROMOTION OF TRANSNATIONAL TRADING COMPANIES THAT EXPLOIT LABOR, EVADE ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS, AND CREATE DANGEROUSLY OVEREXTENDED SUPPLY CHANNELS. AT THE SAME TIME TRADE POLICY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN STRENGTHENING OR WEAKENING AMERICA'S GEOPOLITICAL POSITION IN THE WORLD, MAKING TRADE, COMPETITION POLICY, AND NATIONAL SECURITY INTRINSICALLY LINKED.
