Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Foundation is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as being exempt from Federal and state income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") as a publicly supported organization. U.S. GAAP requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred income tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Foundation is subject to IRC Section 511(a) for income taxes on unrelated business income. The Foundation has reported on its Form 990-T, the return to report unrelated business income, approximately $750,000 of net operating loss carry forwards. These net operating losses may be available to offset future unrelated business income. These net operating losses will expire between 2023 to 2026. These net operating losses resulted in approximately $255,000 of deferred income tax assets which are fully reserved for with a valuation allowance. Management does not believe it is more likely than not the future benefits of the net operating losses will be recognized. The Foundation recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no known items which result in recording a liability related to uncertain tax positions. Tax years 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions (US Federal, state and local authorities).

The Arby's Foundation focuses on ending childhood hunger on national, state and local levels by raising awareness of the issue, supporting hunger-fighting organizations, and funding innovative solutions that solve this critical problem. Since 2011, the Arby's Foundation has been a national charity partner of Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign (NKH). As a core partner of the NKH campaign, The Arby's Foundation has contributed over $15 Million in the past three years to support NKH and other hunger-fighting organizations in the communities that Arby's serves. The Arby's Foundation specifically recognizes a tremendous need to support children during the summer months, when school breakfast and lunch is not available, and takes a leading role in helping connect kids to the meals they need while on summer break. With the goal of raising awareness of childhood hunger and increasing access to the existing free summer meal sites around the country, the Arby's Foundation provides the grassroots Hungry for Happiness summer mobile tour. As an additional tactic to raise awareness about summer meal resources available in the communities the tour visits, the Arby's Foundation funds an innovative summer meals texting program administered by Share our Strength. Extensive volunteer needs at the Hungry for Happiness tour stops allows the opportunity for Arby's employees, franchisees and suppliers to bear witness to hunger in their communities firsthand and become involved with their local hunger-relief organization. Volunteer opportunities also lead to a greater understanding of the issue and support for the Arby's Foundation's mission to end childhood hunger in America. The increased system support becomes even clearer during the execution of the Arby's Foundation's national restaurant fundraiser. For a six-week period, restaurant team members ask customers to donate $1 to end childhood hunger in exchange for a coupon. In 2013, Arby's team members and customers set a system record by raising over $3.1 million for the fight to end childhood hunger. As an industry leader in corporate philanthropy, the Arby's Foundation staff and volunteers engage thousands of people across America while utilizing employees and volunteers, supporting local hunger organizations, connecting children and families with the food resources they need, and sharing information on the growing issue of childhood hunger. To this end, Arby's and the Arby's Foundation proudly received the 2013 Restaurant Neighbor Award from the National Restaurant Association for their work to end childhood hunger in America. Part III, Line 4b Summer Mobile Tour - The Hungry for Happiness Mobile Tour is a summer program to raise awareness about childhood hunger and increase participation in free summer meal programs in communities nationwide. Summer continues to be a vulnerable time for children who rely on school breakfast and lunch during the school year. The Arby's Foundation, in partnership with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign, is committed to helping all kids get the food they need every day. With this goal in mind, the Arby's foundation continued the Hungry for Happiness mobile tour in 2013, where the 18-wheel Arby's foundation event vehicle traveled more than 31,000 miles to serve 7,345 meals to children across 30 major cities.
