        <Explanation>PART X, QUESTION 2 THE CORPORATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND A SIMILAR PROVISION OF STATE LAW. PREVIOUSLY, THE CORPORATION ADOPTED GUIDANCE RELATING TO ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH REQUIRES THE CORPORATION TO ANNUALLY EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN WITH REGARD TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME OR OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT MAY JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX EXEMPT STATUS AND THUS WOULD MEET THE DEFINITION OF AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION. THE CORPORATION RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BENEFIT OF A TAX POSITION ONLY AFTER DETERMINING THE RELEVANT TAX AUTHORITY WOULD MORE LIKELY THAN NOT SUSTAIN THE POSITION FOLLOWING AN AUDIT. THE CORPORATION HAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE CORPORATION IS GENERALLY NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR FISCAL YEARS BEFORE 2009.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>3) EDUCATION AND TRAINING: THE EDUCATION PROGRAM IS FOR ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 16 WHO WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR EDUCATIONAL LEVELS. SPECIALLY TRAINED TUTORS WORK ONE-ON-ONE WITH ILLITERATE ADULTS TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS. AS THEY LEARN, SOME MOVE ONTO THE NEXT LEVEL OF STUDENTS WHO DID NOT GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND WANT TO OBTAIN THEIR KS HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS BY PASSING THE GED TEST. ABOUT 1200 ADULTS CAME TO OUR PROGRAM TO IMPROVE THEIR LITERACY SKILLS AND WORK TOWARD ACHIEVING THEIR GED. PARTICIPANTS ARE GUIDED THROUGH THE PROGRAM BY QUALIFIED EDUCATION SPECIALISTS. LAST YEAR 254 PARTICIPANTS PASSED THEIR GED EXAM AND RECEIVED THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. THE PROGRAM IS OFFERED TO ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR A ONE TIME FEE OF $50 WHICH INCLUDES BOOKS AND ASSESSMENTS. A COLLABORATION WITH WICHITA AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE ALLOWS US TO CHANNEL SOME OF THESE GRADUATES TO TECHNICAL PROGRAMS AND HIGHER EDUCATION. 4) SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT: WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION, GOODWILL PROVIDES PRE-EMPLOYMENT SKILLS TESTING FOR PEOPLE READY TO RE-ENTER THE WORKFORCE. 5) ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORTS (EES): THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND REHABILITATION SERVICES SENT NEARLY 90 INDIVIDUALS TO GOODWILL TO HELP TRANSITION THEM FROM WELFARE TO WORK.
