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, 2011 and 2010. There are no on-going federal, state or local tax audits, however, the Opera's tax returns for 2008 and subsequent years remain open to examination.

Part V, Line 4Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.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 the prior year amount reported in line 1e.4.The Opera's endowment is comprised of both temporarily and permanently 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, 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.
Part IV, Line 1bPart IV, Line 1b: Why is organization an agent, trustee, custodian or other intermediary for contribAssets of the Ryan Opera Center are commingled with Lyric Opera for better controls and cost effectiveness.
