Intended Uses of Endowment FundsSchedule D, Part V, Line 4THE BOARD DESIGNATED PORTION OF THE ENDOWMENT IS RESTRICTED TO ASSIST THE USO IN DELIVERING ITS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR MANY YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. THESE BOARD DESIGNATED CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT EARNINGS ARE AVAILABLE TO FUND OPERATIONS; HOWEVER, CONTRIBUTIONS/EARNINGS HAVE NOT BEEN SPENT TO DATE.
Liability for Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740)Schedule D, Part X, Line 2USO IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(A) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) OF 1986, AS AMENDED, AS AN ORGANIZATION USO is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as amended, as an organization described in IRC Section 501(c)(3). However, income generated from activities unrelated to USO's exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. USO did not have any material unrelated business income tax liability for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Therefore, no tax liability has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. USO does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions for the open tax years.
