Part X, Line 2:The Academy is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Service Code Section 501(c)(3). The Academy is subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. The Academy and the Building Company are subject to recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 740-10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Academy and the Building Company have analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and the state jurisdiction where it operates. The Academy and the Building Company believe that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Academy and the Building Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Academy and the Building Company have not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2015.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORThe financial statements are prepared by an independent accounting firm. The statements are reviewed and approved by the board before being issued. This process is the same as last year.
Form 990, Part XI,LINE 9-Change in Accounting Principle:During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Academy implemented GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions-an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. GASB Statement No. 68 included major changes in how employers account for pension benefit expenses and liabilities. In financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting (government-wide and proprietary funds), an employer is required to recognize a liability for its share of the net pension liability provided through the pension plan. An employer is required to recognize pension expense and report deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for its share related to pensions. This standard required retroactive implementation, which resulted in the restatement of net position as of June 30 2014. The net position of governmental activities in the government-wide statements as of June 30, 2014 was decreased by $3,333,726. This change reflects the Academy's proportionate share of the net pension liabilities and related deferred outflows of resources for the PERA and TRA pension plans, which are now reported by employers under current guidance. Certain amounts necessary to fully restate fiscal year 2014 financial information are not determinable; therefore, prior year comparative amounts have not been restated.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1BINDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS Several members of the board are teachers at the school. Minnesota State Statute 124D.10 Subd. 4(g) requires the board to have at least one member that is an employee/contracted teacher.
