Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“TGF is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income tax on income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701 (d). However, income from activities not directly related to its tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for year ended May 31, 2019.TGF adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax guidance FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, TGF recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. TGF believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the TGFs financial statements.”

“Inventory Sales - Net $10053”

Part XII, Line 2D: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S
