Part X, Line 2:Audit Note: "The GCVB is recognized as an organization exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") as an organization described in Section 501(c)(6) of the Code, whereby only unrelated business income, as defined, by the Code, is subject to income taxes. Management evaluated the GCVB's positions and concluded the GCVB had maintained its tax-exempt status and had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements."
