| Pt IV, Line 2b | At the end of 2013, the Foundation held amounts remitted to it by the Education Achievement Authority in an Agency capacity. |
| Pt X, Line 2 | FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes, prescribes the minimum recognition threshold & measurement attributes for disclosure of tax positions previously taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the Foundation's financial statements. Under ASC Topic No. 740, the Foundation's continued status as an exempt entity is considered to be a "tax position" in that the Foundation must adhere to various requirements to remain tax-exempt. In addition, any Foundation activities that may subject it to "unrelated business taxable income" are also considered tax positions. Management has analyzed the Foundation's material tax positions as of December 31, 2014 & 2013 and has determined that no material uncertain tax positions exist that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. |
