Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Part V, Line 4:The endowment fund is to be used to fund spine related research grants.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:FIN 48 FOOT NOTE North American Spine Society is an organization described in Sections 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and was granted exemption from federal income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax-exempt purposes of the Organization and the nature in which it operates is described in Note 1 (page 2 of 990). The Organization continues to operate in compliance with its tax-exempt purposes. North American Spine Society does sell advertising in journals which is considered unrelated to its tax-exempt purpose and thus possibly subject to unrelated business income tax. The Society did not recognize an income tax provision as a result of this unrelated activity for 2009. The Organizations annual informational and income tax returns filed with the federal and state governments are subject to examination for the statutory period.
