Part V, Line 4:TO PRODUCE A RELATIVELY PREDICTABLE AND STABLE INCOME STREAM TO GROW AND TO SUPPORT PRESENT AND FUTURE PROGRAMS.
Part X, Line 2:The Opera has adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Opera recognizes the tax (benefit) expense from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Any such tax (benefit) expense is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Opera had no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2017 or 2016. The Opera files an exempt organization return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is not a "private foundation" for tax purposes. The Opera had minimal taxable unrelated business income for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes has not been established in the accompanying financial statements.
