Pt X, Line 2 The Company is a nonprofit entity and is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, contributions to the Company are tax deductible under Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company files an IRS Form 990-T, when required, to report all unrelated business income annually. The Companys unrelated business income arises from the sale of advertising in the performance programs. The Company is not classified as a private foundation by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company adopted the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in its Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) for Accounting of Uncertainty in Income Taxes without any material effect to the financial statements. The Company has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Company believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at August 31, 2025. The Companys returns remain open for three years for federal and state examinations.
