THE GOVERNANCE OF EACH SUBSIDIARY IS SET FORTH IN AN OPERATING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARENT AND THE SUBSIDIARY. THE OPERATING AGREEMENTS PROVIDE THAT THE DAY- TO-DAY OPERATION OF EACH SUBSIDIARY IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF ITS MEMBER (THE PARENT). AT THE TIME OF THE AUDIT, NEITHER SUBSIDIARY HAD A GOVERNING BOARD, COMMITTEES, OR OFFICERS. MISSION THE DA VINCI DISCOVERY CENTER OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, INC.
