The tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2013, and thereafter are subject to audit by the taxing authorities. 1 East Asia and the Pacific 0 1 PROGRAM SERVICES BROADCASTING/MARKETING 275772 Europe 0 4 PROGRAM SERVICES BROADCASTING/MARKETING 226276 North America 0 1 PROGRAM SERVICES BROADCASTING/MARKETING 73118 South America 0 2 PROGRAM SERVICES BROADCASTING/MARKETING 122654 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 1 PROGRAM SERVICES BROADCASTING/MARKETING 81470 0 9 0 0 0 9 779290 0 779290 Russia & the Newly Independent States PROGRAM SERVICES 17847 WIRE TRANSFER N/A N/A EUROPE PROGRAM SERVICES 56575 WIRE TRANSFER N/A N/A 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 Part I, Line 2: EWTN management evaluates and approves the distribution of funds to other organizations for assistance.
