Part X, Line 2:BIE has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that BIE continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. BIE may periodically receive unrelated business income (such as advertising income, etc.) requiring BIE to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. BIE also has certain transactions requiring the payment of value added taxes. Under such conditions, BIE calculates and accrues the applicable taxes. BIE is not subject to examination by taxing authorities, nor for any prior years. BIE assesses tax positions taken or expected to be taken against more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition. Based on analysis prepared by BIE, it was determined that BIE believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
