Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Lsf is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c) (3) and section 23701 (d) of the internal revenue code and california revenue and taxation code, respectively. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or california franchise tax has been made. Lsf has been classified as a charitable public organization, which is not a private foundation under irs code section 509(a). Lsf has adopted the provisions of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management believes that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that impact its financial position, results of operation or change in net assets. Lsf, which is subject to taxation in the united states and california jurisdictions, has incurred no interest or penalties related to its tax positions. Lsf's 2012 through 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service for federal tax purposes, and 2011 through 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by state tax authority.”
