Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 48-3, "Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for certain Non Public Enterprises." FSP FIN 48-3 permits an entity within its scope to defer the effective date of FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes), to its annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Foundation elected to defer the application of the uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740 for the year ending August 31, 2009. On September 1, 2009, the Foundation adopted the provisions ofASC 740, as amended by FASB in September 2009. The Foundation evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax provision or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as components of federal income tax expense. As noted above, the Foundation is a tax-exempt non-profit organization; therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Foundation believes that its tax position regarding its status as a tax-exempt organization will remain significantly unchanged within the next twelve months. While the Foundation is not aware of any tax examinations being conducted, tax years 2006 - 2008 remain subject to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aIn accordance with Section 4.4 of the Bylaws, members of the Board of Trustees are elected by the vote of the Councilors (Members). Section 2.1 of the Bylaws states that membership in the Foundation consistes of not more than 100 individuals called Councilors. The term "councilor" as used in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Foundation has the same meaning as the term "member" as used in the Texas Business Organizations Code.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Copies of the Form 990 are provided to the Audit Committee, which has been appointed by the Board to provide oversight. The Audit Committee reviews the form and discusses it with the CPAs responsible for preparing the return.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cNew trustees, officers, and key personnel must complete and sign the conflict of interest disclosure form. Any change in circumstances that alters the information on a form that was previously submitted must be reported in a timely fashion. At a minimum, each trustee, officer, or key person must submit a new or updated form (with signature) each year. All completed and signed forms are retained by the Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary monitors COI form submissions to verify that all required persons have a current COI form on file. All board and board committee meeting agenda items are reviewed against known conflicts of interest disclosed by board or committee members. Where a conflict of interest has been identified, such member must recuse himself or herself from discussions or voting on the matter, or may be asked to leave the room while the matter is being discussed or voted. All negotiators, buyers, proposal/project administrators are informed of organizations that may be involved in a conflict of interest and must get management approval for any proposed transaction with such organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees serves as the Compensation Committee for the CEO and the other officers. The compensation arrangement must be approved in advance (before any payment is made) by the Executive Committee composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangements being reviewed. Determinations utilize comparability data for the fair market value of the compensation in question, such as data documenting compensation levels for similarly qualified individuals in like positions at like organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The financials and governing documents can be reviewed on the Foundation's website. The conflict of interest policy is available upon request.
