ExplanationThe Trust is intended to meet the qualification requirements pursuant to Section 501(c)9 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, accordingly, the net investment income of the Trust is exempt from income taxes. The Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter dated April 2, 1990, confirming the tax exempt status of the Trust. ETS believes that the Trust, as amended, continues to qualify and to operate in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code. ETS evaluated the Plans tax positions and concluded that the Plan maintained its tax exempt status and has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is required in the financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Plan is subject to routine examinations by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no examinations for any open tax periods in progress. The Plan management believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.Explanation

Currently, the Educational Testing Service Medical and Dental Benefits Plan (the ETS Active Employees VEBA), does not make its governing documents or financial statements available to the general public.Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
General ExplanationThis voluntary employees beneficiary association (VEBA) was established for the purpose of providing medical and dental benefits to substantially all eligible employees, as defined, of Education Testing Service (ETS), and is only for active ETS employees. The ETS Active Employees VEBA does not have its own governing Board or committees, but is overseen by the ETS Board of Trustee Finance Committee, officers and senior management, who administer this entity and its decisions regarding investments, benefit administrators, etc. The ETS Active Employees VEBA has no employees of its own and so it has no CEO, Executive Director or top management official, other officers or key employees, referred to in Part VI, Section B, Line 15. With no employees, it pays no compensation to any employees. Rather, it uses the employees of ETS, including the officers and senior management mentioned above, all of whom are covered by and subject to the ETS conflict of interest and whistleblower policies. The Form 990 for the ETS Active Employees VEBA was reviewed by ETS senior management prior to its filing.Form 990
