Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

RELYING ON PROFITS FROM MEETINGS AND DONATIONS FROM MEMBERS AND MEDICAL COMPANIES EACH YEAR, THE SRS BEGAN LIMITED RESEARCH FUNDING IN 1980. IN THE LATE 1980'S, SRS LEADERS DECIDED TO ESTABLISH A RESEARCH ENDOWMENT FUND IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE AVAILABLITY OF FUNDS FOR SCOLIOSIS RESEARCH. MOSTLY THROUGH DONATIONS FROM SRS MEMBERS, A GOAL OF $1.2 MILLION WAS REACHED IN 1992. INCOME FROM THIS FUND HAS BEEN USED EACH YEAR TO FUND PROJECTS SELECTED THROUGH A PEER-REVIEWED GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS. GRANT RECIPIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE REGULAR FINANCIAL REPORTS AND TO REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF THEIR RESEARCH AT AN SRS MEETING.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

The Organization is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as other than a private foundation. However, income from certain activities (primarily advertising income) not directly related to the Organizations tax exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. As of December 31, 2016, $61,320 of estimated payments were made. Management has reviewed all tax positions recognized in previously filed tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and those expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of December 31, 2016, the Organization had no amounts related to unrecognized income tax benefits and no amounts related to accrued interest and penalties. The Organization does not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized income tax benefits over the next year.
