Part XPart X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Opera is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Opera adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) on accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Opera's financial position. Management believes the Opera has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential loss of its tax exemption status. The Opera has no on-going federal, state or local tax audits, however, the Opera's tax returns for 2007 and subsequent years are open to examination.

Part V, Line 4Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.1e.New audit requirements caused an elimination of $8,612,427 in the Board-designated interfund receivables. This change is reflected in the current year amount reported in line 1e.4.The Opera's endowment is comprised of both donor-restricted endowment funds and Board-designated funds to function as endowment. Net assets consisting of those funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.The Opera's Board of Directors has approved a spending policy which allows for the transfer of 5% of the trailing twelve quarter endowment balance to be used to support operations and fund debt service. The spending rate approximates the return objective of the fund allowing for the preservation of purchasing power and growth of the endowment through investment returns in excess of the objective and new gifts.
