Part V, Line 4:

Endowment gifts provided by donors do not have restriction on the use of income produced. accordingly, all income is used for unrestricted purposes.

Part X, Line 2:

LWR has adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this policy, LWR may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has evaluated LWR's tax positions and has concluded that LWR has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. LWR files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions. LWR is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.
