Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization is a tax-exempt corporation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) (3) and California state franchise tax under section 23701(d) of the Revenue Taxation Code. The Organization is exempt from taxes on income other than unrelated business income. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Organization paid no unrelated business income tax. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Organization to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Organization. Management has determined whether any tax positions have met the threshold and has measured the Organizations exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the Organization has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded liabilities.”
