UNAVCO'S TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND EXAMINATION BY FEDERAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES. UNAVCO IS NOT AWARE OF ANY ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. UNAVCO EVALUATES UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAX POSITIONS BASED ON A MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT RECOGNITION STANDARD. IF THAT THRESHOLD IS MET, THE TAX POSITION IS THEN MEASURED AT THE LARGEST AMOUNT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022, THERE ARE NO ACCRUALS FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. IF APPLICABLE, UNAVCO RECORDS INTEREST AND PENALTIES AS A COMPONENT OF INCOME TAX EXPENSE.

PERMANENT STATIONS LOCATED IN THE FOLLOWING BOYCOTTING COUNTRY TRANSMIT DATA THAT IS FREQUENTLY AVAILABLE TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD AND THIS DATA IS OBTAINED BY THE ORGANIZATION VIA SATELLITE FEED AND STORED IN THEIR DATA ARCHIVE: IRAQ. THE DATA ARCHIVE PROCESS IS CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE BOYCOTTING COUNTRIES AND DATA MAY BE USED BY MEMBERS TO BENEFIT EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH IN THE BOYCOTTING COUNTRIES. THE IRS REQUIRES REPORTING ON FORM 5713 WHEN A U.S. TAXPAYER HAS "OPERATIONS" IN OR RELATED TO A BOYCOTTING COUNTRY AND PROVIDES FOR SIGNIFICANT PENALTIES IF THIS FORM IS NOT FILED WHEN REQUIRED. THE TERM "OPERATIONS" IS VERY BROADLY DEFINED UNDER THESE RULES AND THE MERE ACT OF OBTAINING FREE DATA FROM THESE STATIONS LOCATED IN THE BOYCOTTING COUNTRIES COULD PRESUMABLY BE HELD TO BE "OPERATIONS." IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THE RISK OF THESE PENALTIES, THE ORGANIZATION IS FILING FORM 5713 ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT BELIEVE THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY SHOULD RISE TO THE LEVEL OF BEING CONSIDERED "OPERATIONS" IN THESE COUNTRIES. 1 CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 400 E UNIVERSITY WAY ELLENSBURG WA 98926 916000618 501(C)(3) 114782 0 GEODETIC RESEARCH MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NE49-3077 77 MASSACHUSETTS AVE CAMBRIDGE MA 02139 042103594 501(C)(3) 113157 0 SUPPORT FOR THE GEODETIC FACILITY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF GEOSCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER PO BOX 910220 DENVER CO 802910220 846000555 501(C)(3) 28748 0 GEODETIC RESEARCH CARLETON COLLEGE ONENORTH COLLEGE STREET NORTHFILED MN 55057 410694747 501(C)(3) 33038 0 SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH IRIS 1200 NEW YORK AVE NW SUITE 400 WASHINGTON DC 20005 521362650 501(C)(3) 191075 0 SUPPORT FOR THE GEODETIC FACILITY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF GEOSCIENCE PART I, LINE 2: GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE QUARTERLY REPORTS DETAILING THEIR GRANT SPENDING.
