| Return Reference | Part X : FIN48 Footnote | ReturnReference |
| Explanation | Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and recognize tax liabilities or assets if the Foundation has taken uncertain tax positions that more likely than not, would not be sustained upon examination of the applicable governmental authorities. The Foundation management believes there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability, or asset, or disclosure in the financial statements. The Foundation's income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities. With few exceptions, the Foundation is no longer subject to examinations by taxing authorities for fiscal years ending before October 31, 2008. The application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations, and accordingly, amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determinations by the taxing authorities. | Explanation |
