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, 2023 AND 2022. 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.
