The Quasi-endowment held for operating purposes fund shall make an annual distribution to the Corporation general account for annual operating purposes in an amount to be determined by the Board, between 0% and 6% of the market value of the endowment fund on the preceding December 31. Such distribution shall be made no later than March 31 of each year. The annual distribution amount shall be initially set at 0% until the endowment fund reaches a balance of $5,000,000, at which time the annual distribution amount will be set at 4% of the moving average of the last three years total market value of the endowment fund on each December 31. An increase of the 6% maximum limit may be changed by the Board only with a dual vote per the procedures set forth below for extraordinary distributions from the endowment account. The annual distribution amount should be set by the Board within a range normally considered prudent.A separate quasi-endowment fund was established in 2016 to contribute to the Corporations long-term viability. Each year, some of these separate quasi-endowment funds will be withdrawn and deposited into the general operating account to be used for projects and operations, other than the Sri Lanka Mangrove protection program. In 2016, the amount withdrawn was $100,000, with future withdrawals to increase by CPI. Quasi-endowment Extraordinary Distributions: In order to withdraw and distribute funds from the Quasi-endowment to the general operating account in excess of the annual distribution amount established by the Board, the proposed withdrawal must be communicated to the Board members and the vote of at least 75% of the acting Board members, not just a quorum of those present, must approve the withdrawal by two separate votes at least 30 days apart. Such notice shall be given in person, or by written or electronic communication as provided in the By-Laws for the giving of notices.Amounts earned on investment returns for the Quasi-endowment Fund are released from restriction and appropriated as earned.Distributions from the Falealupo Endowment may be made from both investment principal and income. Amounts earned on investment returns for the Falealupo Endowment are appropriated as earned. Distributions from the Falealupo Endowment are made on a case-by-case basis. Part X : FIN48 Footnote ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Corporation to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Corporation. The Corporation has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and has measured the Corporations exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the Corporation has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. Federal and state tax authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed (four years for California). Any interest or penalties assessed to the Corporation are recorded in operating expenses. No interest or penalties from federal or state tax authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
