Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The University is recognized as an organization exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the Code, is subject to Federal income tax. The University reported no unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Under ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely than not that the position will be sustained. Management believes it has no material uncertain tax positions nor any penalties and interest to be accrued for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and, accordingly, has no unrecognized tax benefits.
