GA 1047824 OTHER LIABILITIES 60660 1108484 FIN 48 FOOTNOTE Schedule D, Part X In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting (ASC 740), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, establishes the criterion that an individual tax position has to meet some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in the Organization's financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Organization is required to determine that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain its tax position following an IRS audit. The Organizaiton has adopted the provisions of ASC 740 effective July 1, 2008, and has applied this criterion to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. Tax years open to examination by tax authorities under the statute of limitations include fiscal 2006 through 2009. The Organization has determined that its tax provisions satisfy the more likely than not criterion and that no provision for income taxes is required as of June 30, 2010, for uncertain tax positions. INTENDED USE OF ENDOWNMENT FUNDS Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The organization invests the donor-restricted endowment fund in short-term fixed income investments and appropriates the investment earnings for expenditure when the income is earned.
