Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds

THE ENDOWMENT EXISTS TO SUPPORT THE OPERATIONS OF METROPOLITAN INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC BROADCASTING, INC. (A RELATED ORGANIZATION).

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

MIPB and the Foundation are exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal revenue Code. Additionally, MIPB and the Foundation have been determined not to be private foundations under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The LLC is a pass-through taxable entity, and any related taxable activity will flow through to the parent companies as unrelated business income (loss). Tax expense for the year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is $0. Current accounting standards require MIPB to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, management has determined that MIPB does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on MIPB's financial statements. MIPB does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. MIPB recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. MIPB did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at September 30, 2016 and 2015.
