MIND Research Institute's visually-based ST math instructional software, associated professional development, and related math programs develop deeper understanding and build conceptual knowledge of mathematics. Research also indicates that learning outside of the classroom has a significant impact on child cognitive development and student math achievement in school. Thus, MIND Research Institute provides interactive learning experiences for children and their families outside of school. The K-12 Game-a-thon is designed to cultivate and showcase game designs featuring creative solutions to mathematical problems while Family Math Nights provide a way to connect families as they have conversations and learn about math together. MIND Research has reached over 1.2 million students, 53,000 teachers, and 3,900 schools in 46 states and the District of Columbia with ST math and other community activities. Approximately, two-thirds of students in the program are low-income and eligible for the federal free and reduced lunch program. 1079159 130000 As one of its founding purposes, MIND Research Institute conducts basic and applied research in neuroscience, mathematics, psychology and education to advance knowledge on how we think, reason, and create; improve the cognitive performance of individuals; and increase core knowledge of mathematics. Research is conducted by Mind Research Institute and in collaboration with world-class universities and research institutions. In order to lead the learning revolution, Mind Research Institute publishes its results from its more than 50 innovative research programs in numerous prestigious scientific journals, and abstracts for presentations at national and international scientific conferences. 25723485 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false true true false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false true 65 0 true 221 true false false false false false false false false false false X 20 16 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X COREY VAIL 9493458700 111 ACADEMY DRIVE SUITE 100 Irvine CA 92617 Edwin Fuller Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Don Garcia Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Higby Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David Horowitz Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Roberta Jenkins Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Claudia Kreisle Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mike Lefkowitz Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Steve Litchfield Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 James McCluney Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jiri Patera PhD Director thru June 2017 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Daryl Pelc Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Phelan Jr Chair & CEO thru 06/17 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 William Podlich Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Walke Ray Director thru June 2017 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jeff Reeves Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ted Smith Chairman/CEO Emeritus 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Bodner PhD Senior Scientist 50.0 0.0 X X 173345 0 9984 Andrew Coulson Chief Data Science Officer 50.0 0.0 X 219477 0 12331 Matthew Peterson PhD Chief R&D Officer as of 03/17 50.0 0.0 X X 287063 0 14793 Brett Woudenberg Chief Operating Officer 50.0 0.0 X X 206697 0 10051 Corey Vail Chief Financial Officer 50.0 0.0 X 56016 0 3467 Janine Ingram VP, Social Benefit 50.0 0.0 X 189592 0 8538 Jim Lund VP OF EDUCATION SERVICES 50.0 0.0 X 188132 0 5660 Brian Molitor VP, Partnerships 50.0 0.0 X 285461 0 2374 Eric Sbar Reg VP,P'ships West from 07/16 50.0 0.0 X 383823 0 9520 Robert Magliano Regional VP 50.0 0.0 X 270908 0 1384 Ivan Alfaro VP, Partnerships 50.0 0.0 X 265289 0 3700 Gregory Blevins VP, Finance as of March 2017 50.0 0.0 X 238363 0 18253 Jim Sidick VP, Partnerships 50.0 0.0 X 204653 0 8861 Debora Stacker Partnerships Director 50.0 0.0 X 622154 0 1785 Vic Rudd Partnerships Director 50.0 0.0 X 210806 0 9569 3801779 0 120270 70 false true false 2HG Exhibits Inc 27470 Aqua Vista Way TEMECULA CA 92590 Exhibit Display 144984 Gibson Dunn Crutcher LLP 3161 Michelson Drive IRVINE CA 92612 Legal 288115 Clever Inc 1263 Mission Street SAN FRANCISCO CA 94103 Rostering 236250 Knobbe Martens Olsen Bear LLP 2040 Main Street IRVINE CA 92614 Legal 211412 Professional Media Group 35 Nutmeg TRUMBULL CT 06611 Marketing 207000 6 5868313 187054 5868313 PROGRAM FEES: ST MATH INCOME 611600 20571921 20571921 STUDENT PROGRESS INCENTIVES 900099 75032 75032 FAMILY MATH NIGHTS 900099 4750 4750 MUSIC PROGRAM MATERIALS 900099 3143 3143 20654846 1923 1923 0 0 0 0 0 3129 17030 -3129 -17030 -20159 -20159 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26504923 20654846 -18236 75000 75000 0 15000 15000 0 2447832 1694286 546663 206883 0 15808479 14182895 978099 647485 260582 217263 29460 13859 1626604 1436813 101278 88513 1303173 1148574 94286 60313 0 184608 164956 7007 12645 42165 37587 2608 1970 0 0 0 815420 769738 12564 33118 0 567734 534789 18369 14576 626297 592345 16736 17216 0 1206768 1083675 72562 50531 1653604 1503618 84060 65926 0 659077 635501 8974 14602 30507 26984 2162 1361 0 1057455 939591 70377 47487 112846 100367 7493 4986 PRINTING & PUBLISHING 178125 158491 1191 18443 MISC. 182732 181092 344 1296 IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSET 256489 224920 20077 11492 29110497 25723485 2074310 1312702 755786 772231 0 369361 604417 2940416 6962920 3982837 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 285782 329501 6475581 4177933 2995827 2297648 0 0 0 0 0 0 864152 979033 51730 55407 12520614 11726434 2461484 2559220 0 0 8456831 8448316 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 674237 2379380 11592552 13386916 X -2333978 -6895478 3262040 5234996 0 0 928062 -1660482 12520614 11726434 X -2605574 17030 X false true X true false X 5422651 3490395 7536024 6403097 5898629 28750796 18874848 4321889 23279060 22683995 20654846 89814638 0 0 0 24297499 7812284 30815084 29087092 26553475 118565434 348334 85075 433409 5145108 2763503 2919597 1929308 1900605 14658121 5145108 2763503 2919597 2277642 1985680 15091530 103473904 232 0 151 1923 2306 0 232 0 151 1923 2306 0 0 147 0 0 0 147 24297731 7812431 30815084 29087243 26555398 118567887 0.87270 0.82423 0.00002 0.00000 X Schedule A, Part III THE AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN COLUMN (B) ARE FOR THE SIX-MONTH SHORT PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2014.
