In classifying such funds for financial statement purposes as either permanently restricted, temporarily restricted or unrestricted net assets, the Board of Directors looks to the explicit directions of the donor where applicable and the provisions of the laws of the State of Connecticut. It is the intent of the Board that a portion of income shall be spent for operations. During 2016, $500,000 in temporarily restricted funds related to the Ice Rink project were reclassified to permanently restricted net assets to conform to the donor's original intention. Part X, Line 2: The Collaborative recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that the Collaborative had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The Collaborative is no longer subject to examinations by the applicable tax jurisdictions for periods prior to 2014.
