Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The organization is a nonprofit organization exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is not a private foundation under section 509(a) of the code. Accordingly, donors are entitled to a charitable deduction for their contributions to the blue bench. The financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. The organization evaluates whether there are any uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. During the year ended december 31, 2015, the organization's management evaluated its tax positions to determine the existence of uncertainties, and did not note any matters that would require recognition or which may have an effect on its tax-exempt status.”

DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015, THE ORGANIZATION'S MANAGEMENT EVALUATED ITS TAX POSITIONS TO DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE OF UNCERTAINTIES, AND DID NOT NOTE ANY MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR WHICH MAY HAVE AN EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS.
