SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4	The primary purpose of the endowment is to provide general operating funding to our operations.
Schedule D, Part XIV	In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") (now referred to as ASC 740-10-25-6, "ASC 740"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109," which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with the broader concepts previously outlined in ASC 740. The Ounce adopted ASC 740 as of July 1, 2009. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. ASC 740 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Ounce is exempt from income tax under IRC Section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the IRC. The tax years ended 2006, 2007 and 2008 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have any impact on the Ounce's financial statements.	FIN 48
