Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds	ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE USED TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS, PROVIDE STUDENT AID AND OTHER USES AS DIRECTED BY DONORS. PRINCIPIA'S ENDOWMENT PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL FUNDING FOR ANNUAL AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. PRINCIPIA INCURS SUBSTANTIAL FIXED COSTS FROM OPERATING TWO SEPARATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (4-YEAR LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE AND PRE-K THROUGH 12TH GRADE SCHOOL). CONSEQUENTLY, PRINCIPIA IS MORE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON ITS ENDOWMENT TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR SPENDING THAN SCHOOLS WITH SIMILAR SIZE ENROLLMENT. MANAGEMENT OF THE ENDOWMENT IS OVERSEEN BY AN INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	Tax positions taken related to Principia's tax exempt status, unrelated business activities, and other miscellaneous tax positions have been reviewed, and management is of the opinion that material positions taken by Principia would more likely than not be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. Accordingly, management has concluded that as of June 30, 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in Principia's financial statements.
