        <Explanation>The University's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is benefical to the University, including any related interest and penalities, when it is more likely than not the position taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such positions as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and, accordingly, no liability has been accrued.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Schedule D-Part V, line 4</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The University's endowment consists of over 800 separate funds established over many years for scholarships, professorships, lectureships, academic programs and awards, building maintenance, and general institutional support. The overall financial objectives of the endowment are to support the current and future operations of Furman University and to preserve and enhance the purchasing power of the University's endowment. The Board of Trustees designates only a portion of the University's cumulative investment return for support of current operations; the remainder is retained to support operations of future years and to offset potential market declines. The amount computed under the endowment spending policy of the investment pool is used to support current operations. The University expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment to maintain its purchasing power by growing at a rate equal to or greater than planned payouts.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Furman provides scholarships and financial aid to individuals in the United States to attend the university. The scholarships and aid for such students are awarded based on need and merit and cover the costs of tuition, room and board. The scholarship and/or financial aid is awarded based on institutional policy and standards set forth by the US Department of Education and the State of South Carolina. The University's Financial Aid Department monitors the compliance with such regulations. The scholarship and/or financial aid is applied by the Financial Aid Department directly against the student's account with the University as a reduction in fees. As a result, the grant can only be used for its intended purpose (i.e. cost of attendence) and can not be diverted from this use. Other types of grants provided consist of research, internship or fellowship grants to students. Such grants are given and monitored by the academic department giving the grant or the Undergraduate Research and Internship Department.</Explanation>
