THE FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE BELOW IS FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S june 30, 2025 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("irs") HAS CLASSIFIED THE SCHOOL AS A tax-exempt corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). However, income from certain activities that is not directly related to the School's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The School had no unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the School and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the School, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The School is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. In addition, there have been no tax related interest or penalties for the years presented in these financial statements. Should such penalties and interest be incurred, the School's policy would be to recognize them as operating expenses. SCHEDULE D, PART XI AND XII, LINE 2D COST OF EVENTS - $44,660.

THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF THE HEAD OF SCHOOL. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1.

THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Academic Program: Trinity Hall is committed to providing unprecedented opportunities for learning and leadership through an innovative curriculum taught by passionate and experienced faculty in a diverse environment that celebrates the Catholic tradition. Trinity Hall encourages students to think creatively and critically, solve problems and collaborate, communicate effectively, and lead. Through interdisciplinary studies, design thinking, and a problem-based math curriculum, students are academically well-rounded and thoroughly prepared for college. Our Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics program focuses on developing lessons and techniques that bring together STEAM disciplines and concepts through creative hands-on projects and experiments. Trinity Hall students take four years of engineering. Our Humanities program is intentionally designed to integrate both skills and content between the disciplines of English, history, and theology. Through the lens of the Catholic theological tradition, students engage in the exploration of prayer, scripture, sacraments, and the Church's moral and social teachings, as well as the examination of all world religions. The World Language courses at Trinity Hall facilitate a class structure built around the four main skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The classes aim for target language instruction only. Cultural comparisons, connections, and global outreach are a priority over the scope and sequence of the students' language learning journey.
