THE ORGANIZATION IS CLASSIFIED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER IRC SECTIONS 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION IS GENERALLY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON INCOME DERIVED FROM ACTIVITIES SUBSTANTIALLY RELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSES. AS SUCH, NO PROVISION FOR FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. TO MAINTAIN ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, THE ORGANIZATION MUST CONTINUE TO SATISFY THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), INCLUDING OPERATING EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES, REFRAINING FROM PROHIBITED POLITICAL OR LOBBYING ACTIVITIES, AND ENSURING THAT ITS RESOURCES ARE USED TO FURTHER ITS EXEMPT PURPOSES. MANAGEMENT MONITORS THE ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL OPERATIONS AND BELIEVES THAT THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO MEET ALL APPLICABLE CONDITIONS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN ITS FEDERAL AND STATE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. NOTWITHSTANDING ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, THE ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON NET INCOME GENERATED FROM ACTIVITIES THAT CONSTITUTE UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME ("UBTI") UNDER IRC SECTIONS 511514. MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED ALL SIGNIFICANT REVENUE STREAMS AND ASSESSED THE POTENTIAL FOR UBTI. BASED ON THIS EVALUATION, MANAGEMENT HAS CONCLUDED THAT ANY UBTI, IF PRESENT, WOULD NOT RESULT IN A LIABILITY MATERIAL TO THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR UBTI HAS BEEN RECORDED. THE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB ASC TOPIC 740, INCOME TAXES. ASC 740 REQUIRES THAT A TAX POSITION BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ONLY WHEN IT IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT, BASED ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES. TAX POSITIONS THAT DO NOT MEET THIS THRESHOLD ARE CONSIDERED UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND WOULD GIVE RISE TO A LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS, WHICH REPRESENTS THE POTENTIAL AMOUNT OF TAX BENEFIT THAT COULD BE DISALLOWED. MANAGEMENT HAS REVIEWED ALL SIGNIFICANT TAX POSITIONS, INCLUDING THE ORGANIZATION'S ONGOING QUALIFICATION FOR TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPERATIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), AND THE POTENTIAL FOR UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. BASED ON THIS REVIEW, MANAGEMENT HAS CONCLUDED THAT IT IS MORELIKELY- THAN-NOT THAT ALL MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS WOULD BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. ACCORDINGLY, NO LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS HAS BEEN RECORDED, AND NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES HAVE BEEN ACCRUED, AS MANAGEMENT BELIEVES ANY SUCH AMOUNTS WOULD NOT BE MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL INFORMATION RETURNS REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF FILING, AND ITS STATE INFORMATION RETURNS REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY CALIFORNIA TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR FOUR YEARS FROM THE DATE OF FILING.
