Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 3

“Discontinued the evaluation program as it spun-off as a separate 501(c)(3) called model evaluation and threat research.”

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The process has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“As a tax exempt nonprofit organization, the organization is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, and from state franchise tax under california revenue and taxation code section 23701(d), but is subject to taxes on unrelated business income when earned. No unrelated business income was earned for the years ended december 31, 2024. The organization has adopted the accounting standard related to uncertainties in income taxes. The organization evaluates uncertain tax positions through its review of the source of revenue to identify unrelated business income and certain other matters, including those which may affect its tax exempt status. Management believes their estimates related to income tax uncertainties are appropriate based on the current facts and circumstances. The organization's federal return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) are subject to examination by the tax jurisdiction back to 2022. The state returns (form 199) filed since the organization's inception in 2021 are subject to examination by state tax agencies.”
