DescSoundExchange is the independent nonprofit collective management organization that collects and distributes digital performance royalties to artists and sound recording copyright owners when content is played on non-interactive digital radio. This includes recordings and soundtracks made by actors, comedians and spoken word artists in addition to musicians. SoundExchange is dedicated to helping the music and creative community thrive in the digital age. The organization represents recording artists - from unsigned a cappella to acid rock to multi-platinum stars and master rights owners including major and independent record labels. It's SoundExchange's job to ensure that all artists and rights owners are fairly compensated when their work is broadcast by non-interactive digital radio. We are committed to advancing creative growth and have delivered more than $2 billion in digital royalties to the artists and rights owners. The organization is authorized by the U.S. Copyright Office to collect and distribute royalties paid by more than 2,500 digital radio services under the statutory licenses set forth in Sections 112 and 114 of Title 17 of the United States Code. As the sole entity designated by the U.S. Copyright Office to receive payments from digital radio services operating under statutory license, SoundExchange represents the interests of all copyright owners and artists whose sound recordings have been performed. In FY 2014, SoundExchange collected royalties from various classes of digital radio licensees, including pre-existing subscription services, pre-existing satellite digital audio radio services, internet-only webcasters, broadcast simulcasters and noncommercial entities. SoundExchange also administers non-statutory licensing arrangements between sound recording copyright owners and services performing the works of those sound recording copyright owners and collects and distributes royalties received from foreign collective management organizations on behalf of its members. Being a trusted resource, SoundExchange is the center of digital music and at the intersection of music and technology, and is committed to delivering exceptional service. SoundExchange's advocacy efforts are focused on protecting the long-term value of music and the rights of the creators of sound recordings, the recording artists who perform them and the record labels who invest in them. We believe everyone involved in the creative process that brings music to life deserves to be fairly compensated.Desc

Part X, Line 2:Under ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainly in Income Taxes, an organization must recognize income tax benefits for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Organization analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Organization's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any open tax periods. The Organization believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.
