PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:DONOR ADVISED CONTRIBUTIONS
PART XII, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:DONOR ADVISED CONTRIBUTIONS
PART X, LINE 2: IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP, ECHO IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER ITS TAX POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFIT RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES. BASED ON ITS ANALYSIS, ECHO HAS DETERMINED THAT IT HAS NOT INCURRED ANY LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012. ECHO DOES NOT EXPECT THAT ITS ASSESSMENT REGARDING UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WILL MATERIALLY CHANGE OVER THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. HOWEVER, ECHO'S CONCLUSIONS MAY BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT AT A LATER DATE BASED ON FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, QUESTIONING THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF DEDUCTIONS, THE NEXUS OF INCOME AMONG VARIOUS TAX JURISDICTIONS, COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. FEDERAL, U.S. STATE AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND CHANGES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES AND PRECEDENTS OF THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES.
PART XI, 4(B): EMPLOYEE ADVISED CONTRIBUTIONS WERE TREATED AS AN INCREASE TO A LIABILITY FOR FINANCIAL AUDIT PURPOSES AND RECORDED AS A CONTRIBUTION FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES ON FORM 990 IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,074,849.
PART XII, 4(B): DISTRIBUTIONS FROM EMPLOYEE ADVISED CONTRIBUTIONS WERE TREATED AS A REDUCTION OF A LIABILITY FOR FINANCIAL AUDIT PURPOSES AND RECORDED AS A GRANT EXPENSE FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES ON FORM 990.
