WE ALSO WORKED FOR THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION ON PATIENT SAFETY, CALLING FOR PHARMACISTS TO DISCUSS CHANGES IN FORMULATIONS OF MEDICATION WITH THE PATIENT AND PHYSICIAN. IN ADDITION, WE HELD OUR ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE RECOGNITION BREAKFAST IN LANSING TO PROMOTE OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, INCLUDING EDUCATING LEGISLATORS ABOUT THE NEED FOR LEGISLATION TO PREVENT SWITCHING OF MEDICATION BY PHARMACIES WITHOUT CONSENT OF A DOCTOR AND PATIENT. ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION OF MICHIGAN ADVOCATED FOR: INCREASING THE FEDERAL BUDGET FOR HEALTH AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS INCLUDING CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL'S PROGRAMS FOR EPILEPSY, AND FOR THE RE-AUTHORIZATION OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT. WE WORKED TO MAINTAIN A STATUTE PASSED IN 2004 THAT ASSURES ACCESS TO ALL EPILEPSY MEDICATIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY IN THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. WE ALSO ADVOCATED FOR EXPANDED MEDICATION ACCESS IN THE ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFIT, AND FOR THE STATE TO ACCEPT THE EXPANSION OF MEDICAID UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. 111149 93869 17280 17280 COMMON STOCKS 114051 F MUTUAL FUNDS 63353 F GOVERNMENT BONDS 119607 F CORPORATE BONDS 82929 F 379940 X 951651 421 5595 6016 945635 5245 5245 950880 953401 5595 5595 947806 0 947806 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X, LINE 2: THE FOUNDATION HAS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT IT QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CORRESPONDING PROVISIONS OF STATE LAW AND, ACCORDINGLY, IS NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES. THE FOUNDATION FOLLOWS GUIDANCE INCLUDED IN AN ACCOUNTING STANDARD RELATED TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES. THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, ONLY IF THE POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED ON AUDIT, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE FOUNDATION RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BENEFIT OF A TAX POSITION ONLY AFTER DETERMINING THAT THE RELEVANT TAX AUTHORITY WOULD MORE LIKELY THAN NOT SUSTAIN THE POSITION FOLLOWING AN AUDIT. FOR TAX POSITIONS MEETING THE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THRESHOLD, THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED, UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEVANT TAX AUTHORITY. AT THE ADOPTION DATE, THE FOUNDATION APPLIED THE NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD TO ALL TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS REMAINED OPEN. BASED ON ITS EVALUATION, THE FOUNDATION HAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS REQUIRING RECOGNITION IN ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE FOUNDATION'S POLICY IS TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO INCOME TAX ISSUES AS COMPONENTS OF INCOME TAX EXPENSE. DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE FOUNDATION DID NOT RECOGNIZE ANY INTEREST OR PENALTIES. THE FOUNDATION HAD NO ACCRUAL FOR INTEREST OR PENALTIES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY.
