IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Part XPart X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Opera is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Opera has concluded there were no material uncertain tax positions nor does the Opera expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Opera would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in interest and income tax expense, respectively. However, the Opera has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of April 30, 2013 and 2012. There are no on-going federal, state or local tax audits, however, the Opera's tax returns for 2010 and subsequent years remain open to examination.
Part V, Line 4Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.4.The Opera's endowment is comprised of donor-restricted endowment funds. Related net assets are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.The Opera's Board of Directors has approved a spending policy which allows for the transfer of 5% of the trailing twelve quarter balance of the managed portfolio at December 31 of the previous fiscal year, including endowment balances, to be used to support operations and fund debt service. The spending rate approximates the return objective of the fund allowing for the preservation of purchasing power and growth of the managed portfolio through investment returns in excess of the objective and new gifts.1e.The reclassification of $8,612,427 resulted from the adoption of UPMIFA and the related new audit disclosure requirements. This change is reflected in column D, line 1e.
Part IV, Line 1bPart IV, Line 1b: Why is organization an agent, trustee, custodian or other intermediary for contribLyric Opera acts as custodian of all assets and paymaster for payments for the Ryan Opera Center, to facilitate better controls and cost effectiveness.

Explanation3(6). To encourage Board and Sponsorship development, Lyric Opera sponsors an annual event for certain board members to participate in operatic and cultural events in a foreign locale. Expenses for lodging, meals, and events are paid by Lyric and reimbursed by the attending board members.3(7). A trip to South America was part of the Wine Auction 2012 event, purchased by a patron in February 2012 for more than the cost paid by Lyric. Although Lyric's expense for this auction item was accrued in fiscal 2012, it was paid to an entity outside the US during the current fiscal year.Explanation
