| STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | PART III, QUESTION 2 | In December 2006, Excellence Academies Foundation, Inc. ("EAF") purchased a loan receivable in the amount of $6,932,000. The receivable was originally held by one of the major supporters of Uncommon Schools, Inc. ("USI"); a related Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and its affiliates who assigned all rights and benefits on that date. On May 31, 2013 CitiCorp USA Inc. ("Citi"), which previously held the $3,068,000 remaining interest in the $10M promissory note, notified EAF of its intention to exercise its Put Option as defined in the agreement. On May 31, 2013 Citi and EAF entered into a Withdrawal and Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement and Assignment of Membership Interest agreement, pursuant to which Citi sold, assigned and transferred to EAF 100% of Citi's interest in Brooklyn Excellence Investment Fund, LLC. ("Fund"), for a purchase price of $123,400. Upon the sale of Citi's interest in the Fund, EAF became the sole member of the Fund. Pursuant to such purchase, EAF became the sole holder of the promissory note of $10M, which resulted in a net gain to EAF of $2,929,900. The promissory note of $10M was a liability of Excellence II, LLC; a disregarded entity of Uncommon Schools, Inc. On June 28, 2013, by consent of all members of the Board of Trustees of EAF, it was resolved that the Fund would be liquidated and dissolved and EAF would forgive the Excellence II Note and deemed it "Paid in Full". Accordingly, EAF has recorded bad debt expense for the forgiveness of this debt in the amount of $10M. |
| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTIONS 6 & 7 | UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. ("USI") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION. USI HAS THE RIGHT TO ELECT THE MEMBERS OF THIS ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND HAS CERTAIN RESERVED POWERS AS DEFINED IN THIS ORGANIZATION'S BYLAWS. |
| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 11b | UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. ("USI") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF EXCELLENCE ACADEMIES FOUNDATION, INC. THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF USI FOR REVIEW BY ITS MEMBERS PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). FOLLOWING THIS REVIEW THE FORM 990 WAS ALSO provided TO EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY, ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES, FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS DELEGATED TO THE USI FINANCE COMMITTEE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO OVERSEE, REVIEW AND APPROVE OF THE FEDERAL FORM 990, INCLUDING THE PREPARATION, REVIEW AND FILING PROCESS. AS PART OF THE TAX RETURN PREPARATION PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CPA FIRM WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN NOT-FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURN PREPARATION TO PREPARE THE FEDERAL FORM 990. THE CPA FIRM'S TAX PROFESSIONALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS OF THE ORGANIZATION TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED IN ORDER TO PREPARE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TAX RETURN. THE CPA FIRM PREPARED A DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND FURNISHED IT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR REVIEW. THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS REVIEWED THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND DISCUSSED QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WITH THE CPA FIRM. REVISIONS WERE MADE TO THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 WHERE NECESSARY AND A FINAL DRAFT WAS FURNISHED BY THE CPA FIRM TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL PRIOR TO PRESENTATION OF THE FEDERAL FORM 990 TO THE MEMBERS OF USI'S FINANCE COMMITTEE AND PROVIDING IT TO EACH VOTING MEMBER OF ITS GOVERNING BODY PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. |
| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12 | UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. ("USI") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF EXCELLENCE ACADEMIES FOUNDATION, INC. USI AND THIS ORGANIZATION REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ANNUALLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE. THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES ARE RETURNED TO USI'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR REVIEW. THEREAFTER, USI'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER PREPARES A SUMMARY OF THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION DISCLOSED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BY INDIVIDUAL BASIS. USI'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER THEN PRESENTS THIS SUMMARY TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR ITS REVIEW AND DISCUSSION AND ANY MITIGATING BEHAVIOR WHERE NECESSARY. |
| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 | UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. ("USI") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF EXCELLENCE ACADEMIES FOUNDATION, INC. USI'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS completed a comparative analysis of similar organizations which it uses as guidance WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE UTILIZES INDUSTRY COMPARABLES AND PERFORMS IN-HOUSE STUDIES OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION WITH ASSISTANCE FROM NEWSCHOOLS VENTURE FUND. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. |
| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION C; QUESTION 19 | THE ORGANIZATION'S FILED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND ANY AMENDMENTS CAN BE OBTAINED AND REVIEWED THROUGH THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY department OF TREASURY. |
| COMPENSATION INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VII & SCHEDULE J | BRETT PEISER, A TRUSTEE OF THIS ORGANIZATION AND TRUSTEE/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC.; A RELATED INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION, RECEIVED COMPENSATION FROM BOTH THIS ORGANIZATION AND UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. THE COMPENSATION FROM THIS ORGANIZATION, REPORTED ON A FORM 1099-MISC IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000, REPRESENTS REPORTABLE COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES PERFORMED IN THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. THE AMOUNT IS BEING REPORTED ON THIS FORM 990 IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FORM 990 RULES AND REGULATIONS BECAUSE IT IS COMPENSATION PAID DURING THE 2012 CALENDAR YEAR. THE COMPENSATION PAID TO MR. PEISER BY UNCOMMON SHOOLS, INC. WAS FOR SERVICES RENDERED FOR HIS DUTIES AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC.; NOT FOR SERVICES RENDERED AS A VOTING MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. |
| RELATED HOURS DISCLOSURE | CORE FORM, PART VII, SECTION A, COLUMN B | THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE ENTITY WITHIN UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. ("USI") AND AFFILIATES. CERTAIN BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS LISTED ON CORE FORM, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J OF THIS FORM 990 MAY HOLD SIMILAR POSITIONS WITH BOTH THIS ORGANIZATION AND OTHER AFFILIATES. THE HOURS SHOWN ON THIS FORM, 990 FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN A NON-BOARD CAPACITY, REPRESENT THE ESTIMATED HOURS DEVOTED PER WEEK FOR THIS ORGANIZATION. TO THE EXTENT THESE INDIVIDUALS SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF OTHER RELATED ORGANIZATIONS, THEIR RESPECTIVE HOURS PER WEEK PER ORGANIZATION ARE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AS REFLECTED IN PART VII OF THIS FORM 990. THE HOURS REFLECTED ON PART VII OF THIS FORM 990, FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN A NON-BOARD CAPACITY, PAID OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, REFLECT TOTAL HOURS WORKED PER WEEK ON BEHALF OF UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. AND AFFILIATES; NOT SOLELY THIS ORGANIZATION. |
| AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | CORE FORM, PART XII; QUESTION 2 | THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THE UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC. AND AFFILIATES. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE TAXPAYER FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND JUNE 30, 2012; RESPECTIVELY, AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT WITH CONSOLIDATING SCHEDULES BY ENTITY. AN UNQUALIFIED OPINION WAS ISSUED BY THE INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM EACH YEAR. UNCOMMON SCHOOLS, INC.'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERSIGHT OF THE AUDIT OF THE TAXPAYER'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE SELECTION OF ITS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR. |
