Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

Lowenstine Fund Corporation ("LFC") is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, except to the extent LFC has unrelated business income, is exempt from federal income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes due on unrelated business income in fiscal years 2025 and 2024. LFC recognizes as tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. Management evaluated the LFC's tax positions and concluded that the LFC had no material uncertainties in income taxes as of June 30, 2025.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Lowenstine Fund Corporation ("LFC") is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, except to the extent LFC has unrelated business income, is exempt from federal income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes due on unrelated business income in fiscal years 2025 and 2024. LFC recognizes as tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. Management evaluated the LFC's tax positions and concluded that the LFC had no material uncertainties in income taxes as of June 30, 2025.
