        <ExplanationTxt>BJU is exempt from Federal and State income taxes to the extent provided by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The University is classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the IRC and, as such, gifts to the University qualify for deduction as charitable contributions. The University follows the provisions of the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes topic of FASB ASC, which addresses the accounting uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an organization's financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides related guidance on measurement classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. BJU has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual and disclosure.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Through February 28, 2017, Bob Jones University, Inc. of Greenville, SC ("BJUI"), a South Carolina not-for-profit corporation held all the operating divisions of Bob Jones University, including higher education, middle and high school programs, and elementary school programs. Effective March 1, 2017, BJUI conveyed a portion of its assets, including the operation of the higher education programs, the elementary school programs, and certain related assets (together "Gifted Assets") to BJU, Inc. ("BJU or "the University"), a South Carolina not-for-profit corporation. The gifted assets included cash, investments, property and equipment, intellectual property, student accounts receivable, student and faculty notes receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses. Certain cash and investment balances had been maintained by BJUI as temporarily restricted and permanently restricted in accordance with donor-imposed stipulations and those cash and investment balances were conveyed to BJU, subject to the same restrictions. BJUI also transferred certain liabilities, principally obligations with respect to the terms of employment of program-related employees, and deferred revenues of its higher education programs. BJU recorded the Gifted Assets at fair market value. The fair market value of property, equipment, and intellectual property was established based upon an appraisal performed by a qualified professional services firm. The fair market value of investments was established based upon quotations obtained from national securities exchanges. The fair market value of the remaining assets received was established at the carrying values in the records of BJUI at the date of the gift because such carrying values approximated fair value due to their short maturities</ExplanationTxt>
