NEVERTHELESS, INCOME FROM ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FOUNDATION'S EXEMPT PUBLIC PURPOSE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE FOUNDATION HAD NO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE FOUNDATION'S INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. THE APPLICATION OF TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS TO MANY TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO VARYING INTERPRETATIONS, AND ACCORDINGLY, AMOUNTS AND DISCLOSURES REPORTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COULD BE CHANGED AT A LATER DATE UPON FINAL DETERMINATIONS BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. H.R. 1, ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT (THE ACT OR TAX REFORM), WAS SIGNED INTO LAW ON DECEMBER 22, 2017. THE ACT CONTAINS VARIOUS PROVISIONS AFFECTING NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES. TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES ARE IMPACTED IN PART BY THE INCLUSION OF A NEW EXCISE TAX ON EXCESS COMPENSATION FOR COVERED EMPLOYEES AND CHANGES TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOMES. MANAGEMENT'S PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT IS THAT THERE IS NO IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2017 BUT CONTINUES TO ASSESS THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THE ACT AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GOING FORWARD.
