Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

The endowment funds of the University are held to support the general operations of the University and to provide scholarships to students of the University.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

The University is a tax-exempt institution as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC") and is not a "private foundation" under Section 501(a) of the IRC; accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the consolidated financial statements. ACIMCO has also been accorded recognition as exempt from income tax under Section 501(a) of the IRC, as organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(3) of the IRC.For the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, the University incurred unrelated business activity related to certain retail sales, advertising, rental income, oil and gas working interest, and certain alternative investments, resulting in an immaterial amount if unrelated business income. Tax positions taken related to the University's tax-exempt status, unrelated business income activities, deductibility of expenses for unrelated business activities, and other miscellaneous tax positions have been reviewed, and management believes that material positions taken by the University will more likely than not be sustained by examination. Accordingly, the University has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions. As of May 31, 2015, the University's tax years 2009 to 2015 remain subject to examination.
