Part V, Line 4, Endowment Funds:	The PBS Endowment Fund consists of individual funds established by the PBS Foundation in support of public broadcasting. Endowment funds constitute substantially all of the Foundation's investments. The Foundation reports those funds in accordance with ASC 958 (Endowments of Not-for-Profit Organizations: Net Asset Classifications of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment Funds). At June 30, 2015, the Foundation had two endowment funds totaling $4,990,853: Permanent, Donor - Restricted Fund: The Iris and Joseph Pollock Fund: To provide for the broadcast and dissemination of classical music programming. PBS Foundation Board Designated Fund: To provide a continued source of income for operations, special projects, capital improvements or for emergency needs.
Part X, Line 2:	The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, on July 1, 2007. Under ASC 740-10, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The implementation of ASC 740-10 had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe there are any unrecognized tax benefits that should be recorded. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there was $0 and $8,000, respectively, of interest or penalties included in the consolidated statements of activities. The Company is still open to examination by taxing authorities from fiscal year 2012 forward.
