Part V, Line 4:To provide dollars to meet the mission and goals of The Pert Foundation.
Part X, Line 2:The Trust and its affiliates received tax determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that they are tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, are exempt from federal and state income taxes. In fiscal year 2019, provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for unrelated business income of $119,451. The Trust and its affiliates account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes Overall). There is no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this pronouncement as the Trust and its affiliates have no significant uncertain tax positions.
