Part V, Line 4:Permanently restricted net assets are restricted to investment in perpetuity. Investment income is restricted for Ottaway Scholarship.
Part X, Line 2:The School is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is not considered to be a private foundation. Under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC, the School is exempt from federal taxes on income other than unrelated business income. The School did not have any net unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The School follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the School may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based upon the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. Management evaluated the School's tax positions and concluded that the School has taken no uncertain positions that require adjustments to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, the School is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.
