Part IVIn order to finance certain member driven projects that are beyond SIFMA's operating budget resources and which impact only a subset of members, SIFMA syndicates out such project cost to participating member firms. The 3rd party project cost (and associated member reimbursement) is maintained within the SIFMA balance sheet. In 2014, the syndicated funds collected from members and disbursed for such special projects totaled $4,281,204 and $7,940,001, respectively. Part X Fin 48 The Association is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Association is not subject to income taxes except to the extent it has taxable income from activities that are not related to its exempt purposes. The Association utilizes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and de-recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. No provision for income taxes was required for fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013. The Association complies with the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Under ASC 740, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The Association does not believe it has taken any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it has not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions. The Association has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, the Association has filed IRS Form 990 information returns, as required, and all other applicable returns in jurisdictions where so required. The tax years ending October 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes.

Part I, Line 10The discrepancy in form 990, Part I, line 10 comparative information for prior year vs current year relates to interest and dividend income of $1,072,051 that was inadvertently misclassified as unrealized gains on investments on the prior year return. Part I, Line 6 The number of volunteers was derived from SIFMA committee participants per the membership data base.
Part III, Line 4aCONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF BEST PRACTICES THAT ARE CONDUCIVE TO EFFICIENT CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS OF MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION: CYBERSECURITY SIFMA has emerged as a leader in cybersecurity readiness, providing actionable industry standards. SIFMA established a new decision-making committee of industry participants for both the equity and fixed income markets, which will quickly convene to determine market-wide actions to take in the case of a significant cybersecurity event. Building on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, we are developing cybersecurity standards for firms of all sizes; educating the industry about evolving threats; increasing participation in FS-ISAC, the industry's forum for cyber threat information sharing; and continuing to convene industry-wide business continuity planning tests and exercises. EQUITY MARKET STRUCTURE SIFMA provided credible and well-received recommendations to reform equity market structure. We have long called for a comprehensive review of equity market structure and in 2014 established a 25-member task force, representing the many diverse firms and businesses invested in this issue. Our recommendations propose to: reverse the increasing complexity of U.S. equity markets and order types; improve access to and resiliency of the equity market data system; and enhance transparency to all investors about how orders are routed and executed. PRESERVING INVESTOR CHOICE SIFMA's engagement and grassroots efforts by our members had a substantial role in preserving an investor's right to choose the product and service model that best meets their needs. SIFMA has long advocated for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish a uniform standard of conduct for brokers and advisors when providing personalized investment advice. AMICUS PROGRAM: THE INDUSTRY'S VOICE IN KEY LITIGATION SIFMA files amicus briefs in court cases whose outcome could materially impact the financial services industry. Briefs educate courts about established industry and market practices, and highlight important policy concerns that transcend the particular case. The amicus program focuses on cases where parties seek to expand legal theories, ease pleading standards, or tilt procedural rules in their favor. Its goal is to contribute to positive case outcomes and lasting legal precedents that help SIFMA members manage litigation risks and costs. CREATING A CONSOLIDATED AUDIT TRAIL SIFMA has long supported efforts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide regulators with timely access to a more robust and effective cross-market order and execution audit trail. We believe that a centralized and comprehensive audit trail would enable the SEC and securities self regulatory organizations (SROs) to perform monitoring, enforcement and regulatory activities more effectively. PROTECTING SENIOR INVESTORS SIFMA has created an interdisciplinary working group to address emerging issues affecting senior investors, including financial exploitation and diminished cognitive capacity. The group is working to develop principles and is also collaborating with aging organizations and experts, and state and federal regulators to develop guidance and regulations. OTC DERIVATIVES SIFMA's swap dealer and asset manager derivatives committees routinely canvass the landscape of derivatives regulatory issues and market structure developments. Through our committees, SIFMA has supported the development of more transparent and safer markets for OTC derivatives in the U.S. and abroad, including advocating for rules consistent with the agreed G20 principals for the regulation of OTC derivatives. Our goal has been making derivatives markets safer and sounder, without overly onerous burdens on market participants and without impairing market liquidity. Part III, Line 4b ADVOCACY FOR ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE TO ITS MEMBERS: We are committed to ensuring America's capital markets are safe and sound, while remaining the deepest and most liquid in the world. Commodities SIFMA and four financial industry associations filed a joint comment letter, which was accompanied by a joint memorandum of law, drafted by four law firms, and a study demonstrating the importance of bank involvement in commodities markets Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) SIFMA remains actively engaged with the SROs, FINRA, the SEC and our members following the release of our comprehensive white paper detailing industry recommendations for the creation of the CAT; this complex regulatory system will link quotes and orders to the originating customer, and it is critical that it is implemented in a cost effective manner, with meaningful industry engagement Cybersecurity SIFMA established a new decision-making committee of industry participants for both the equity and bond markets and is identifying cybersecurity standards for firms of all sizes and capabilities Free Trade Agreements SIFMA continues to advocate that a TTIP between the U.S. and EU must include a framework in which to discuss financial services regulation to realize its full economic potential; the TPP negotiations and a prospective Bilateral Investment Treaty with China offer further promise for the U.S. economy Eminent Domain SIFMA continues to mobilize efforts on a local level to ensure municipalities understand that eminent domain stands to hurt the investors and the borrowers it seeks to help, and that there are better alternatives to repairing housing markets Equity Market Structure SIFMA established a 25-member task force that presented comprehensive recommendations to improve U.S. equity market structure Fiduciary Standard SIFMA has long advocated for the SEC to establish a uniform fiduciary standard for brokers and advisors when providing personalized investment advice Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) SIFMA is working with our members to implement FATCA under the new transition period which will allow financial institutions to comply more effectively while minimizing unnecessary cost burdens and reducing potential harm to the U.S. economy Money Market Fund Reform As SIFMA members prepare to comply with and operationalize the new rules, various SIFMA committees are working with the SEC on a list of FAQs to help clarify the application of the new rules and on implementing new compliance and operations requirements Best Execution of Transactions in Municipal Securities Many of SIFMA's suggestions were incorporated into the MSRB's rule proposal; SIFMA will work with the MSRB to develop guidance that assists member firms to comply with the final rule Municipal Advisor Rule SIFMA issued model documents to assist members in complying with the final rules; SIFMA also successfully advocated for a six month delay that allowed the SEC to develop two compliance FAQs and for members to adequately implement compliance programs Non-Bank Systemic Designation SIFMA has engaged with FSOC, FSB and IOSCO to advocate for an improved, more transparent and collaborative process for determining systemic designations; SIFMA does not believe that asset managers pose a threat to financial stability - SIFMA has encouraged regulators to focus on activities, as effective regulation of systemic risk is best achieved through a broad activities-based approach rather than through disparate treatment of individual entities OTC Derivatives SIFMA continues to work with members and regulators on the implementation of the CFTC's rule set and in anticipation of the SEC's rules being finalized and implemented in the coming year; major outstanding issues include the cross-border application of derivatives regulation, U.S. implementation of globally agreed standards on margin for non-centrally cleared derivatives and ongoing implementation of SEF trading Securitization Market Reform SIFMA continues to work with regulators and members to implement Reg AB2 and Risk Retention, including on issues such as privacy implications of loan level disclosure requirements Senior Investors SIFMA created a working group to facilitate the exchange of ideas and development of principles when dealing with elderly clients; the group is in dialogue with regulators to collaboratively address this emerging issue Shortened Settlement Cycle Shortening the settlement cycle on a timeframe that is workable for all market participants can benefit investors by reducing risk; SIFMA is actively working to ensure our members' voice is heard throughout this process and is serving as co-lead of an industry task force State Run Retirement Plans State-run retirement plans burden already fiscally-strained states with programs that are already available in private markets, create conflicts between federal and state laws, and have a number of implications under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; SIFMA is committed to addressing the country's savings challenge through financial literacy, general investment ed
