The FIN-48 footnote reproduced below is from the consolidated audited financial statements. FRS, Wildcat, Reserve, CWS and ESNY are qualified as tax-exempt organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") and, accordingly, are not subject to federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.
