ExplanationExplanation
FIN 48 footnote from 2010 audit: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 is now codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position must be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. ASC 740 was effective for ILR beginning January 1, 2009. Management's reassessment of its tax positions in accordance with the adoption of ASC 740 did not have a material impact on the results of ILR's operations or financial position. Further, management's analysis of uncertain tax positions as required under ASC 740 determined that the company had no uncertain tax positions and, as such, no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Management does not anticipate any material changes in this position in the next 12 months.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 10bArticle III is a disregarded entity engaged in film production. Because Article III is engaged in film production it does not have any chapters or affiliates and thus no policy governing them. Any unrelated business activities are appropriately reported on ILR's form 990T.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11In accordance with the Audit Committee charter, the draft Form 990 was provided in advance to the Audit Committee members, and reviewed individually with each member prior to completion. The Audit Committee performs this function pursuant to a delegation from the Board of Directors. The board reviews the most recently completed tax return at each of its regularly scheduled meetings.
We annually notify staff of the Standards of Conduct and Ethics policy, which includes a requirement that any transaction or relationship that is reasonably expected to give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest be brought to the attention of a supervisor, a senior manager in the Human Resources department or the Office of General Counsel. In addition, we issue an annual written questionnaire to all members of the board of directors asking for information on potential conflicts of interest, which is gathered by the chief financial officer. All reports of potential conflicts will be evaluated by the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, who serves as the US Chamber Institute for Legal Reform's (ILR) Ethics Officer, in consultation with other senior management and staff, as appropriate. Any conflicts of interest involving board members or staff that cannot be resolved in accordance with the ILR's conflicts policies shall be elevated to the Chair of the ILR's Audit Committee for further consideration and action.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
Part VI Question 15a The process for determining total compensation of the President, who is a direct report of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce President/CEO, and whose payroll is administered by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is as follows. Total compensation is reviewed annually by an independent compensation consultant. The consultant prepares a compensation study primarily utilizing, as available, Form 990s and surveys of comparable organizations with similar responsibilities. Based on this information, total compensation is determined by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's President/CEO and U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Employee Compensation and Benefits Arrangements Committee on an annual basis. Part VI Question 15b The process for determining total compensation for the seven key employees and highly compensated employees, whose payroll is administered by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is as follows. An independent compensation consultant provides annual supporting data and analysis to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Senior Vice President of Administration who establishes job classifications and compensation ranges for all employees. Based on this information, individual total compensation is determined by the individual's supervisor and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Senior Vice President of Administration on an annual basis.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19: The form 990 is made available to any member of the public who requests a copy.
