During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Board of Directors designated $200,000 of unrestricted net assets for the purpose of establishing a Board-Designated quasi-endowment fund.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, NCCO is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by NCCO and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that NCCO has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of August 31, 2024, NCCO does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.NCCO has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that NCCO continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. NCCO may periodically receive unrelated business income requiring NCCO to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, NCCO will calculate, accrue and remit the applicable taxes.
