Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Part V, Line 4:Endowment fund proceeds are used for various student scholarships.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X, Line 2:The consolidated financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of September 30, 2013, SME had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. SME's federal returns of Organization Exempt from Income Tax Forms 990 and Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return Forms 990T for the years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
