However, the Foundation remains subject to income taxes on any net income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on and not in furtherance of the purpose for which it was granted exemption. No income tax provision has been recorded as the net income, if any, from any unrelated trade or business, in the opinion of management, is not material to the financial statements taken as whole. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure, and transition. The Foundation has adopted the deferral and disclosure provisions of ASC 740 for its August 31, 2009 financial statements and has adopted the provisions of ASC 740 for the year ended August 31, 2010. There are no such uncertain tax positions for the Foundation at August 31, 2010.
