SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 FIN 48 FOOTNOTE FROM CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS U.S. GAAP PROVIDES A TWO-STEP APPROACH FOR EVALUATING TAX POSITIONS. RECOGNITION (STEP 1) OCCURS WHEN AN ENTITY CONCLUDES THAT A TAX POSITION, BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. IN STEP 2 (MEASUREMENT), THE TAX BENEFIT IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT, DETERMINED ON A CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY BASIS, THAT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. DURING THE YEARS FROM 2008 TO 2011, WHICH REPRESENT THE YEARS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERS TO BE OPEN FOR EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, MANAGEMENT DID NOT IDENTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. ACCORDINGLY, ALL TAX POSITIONS ARE RECOGNIZED AND MEASURED AT THEIR FULL BENEFIT IN THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS AND STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.

THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS, THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS INNOVATIVE RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE UNDERSERVED AMERICANS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND TOOLS NECESSARY FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS THROUGHOUT LIFE. THE FOUNDATION WILL AWARD GRANTS TO ENTITIES DESIGNATED AS TAX-EXEMPT ACCORDING TO INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) AND STATE AND OTHER PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THE FOUNDATION PLACES HIGH PRIORITY ON REACHING AND ENGAGING A WELL-DEFINED TARGET AUDIENCE AND ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS THAT FACILITATE EFFECTIVE MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EFFORTS. THE FOUNDATION OFFERS ROLLING DEADLINES FOR PROJECT CONCEPT FORMS UNDER THE GENERAL GRANT PROGRAM. APPLICANTS WHOSE PROJECTS MOST CLOSELY ALIGN WITH THE FOUNDATION'S PRIORITIES ARE INVITED TO SUBMIT A FULL GRANT PROPOSAL FOR CONSIDERATION AT ONE OF THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD MEETINGS. FUNDING PRIORITIES ARE SPECIFIED IN THE GRANT GUIDELINES. THE GUIDELINES ALSO SPECIFY ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND GRANT CRITERIA. THE SMART INVESTING@YOUR LIBRARY GRANT PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED JOINTLY BY THE FINRA INVESTOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION AND THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. THIS INVITATION-ONLY GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS PUBLIC LIBRARY EFFORTS TO PROVIDE LIBRARY PATRONS WITH ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE, UNBIASED FINANCIAL EDUCATION RESOURCES. THE FINANCIAL EDUCATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED JOINTLY BY THE FINRA INVESTOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION AND UNITED WAY WORLDWIDE. THIS INVITATION-ONLY GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS REGIONAL AND LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO MEET THE FINANCIAL EDUCATION NEEDS OF UNDERSERVED WORKING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THE INVESTOR ADVOCACY CLINIC PROGRAM PROVIDES START-UP FUNDING AND ASSISTANCE TO LAW SCHOOLS THAT ARE WELL POSITIONED TO ESTABLISH CLINICS OFFERING LEGAL ADVICE AND OTHER HELP FOR UNDERSERVED INVESTORS. THIS INVITATION-ONLY GRANT PROGRAM AIMS TO FILL THE GAP IN LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR SMALL INVESTORS. 4B) INVESTOR PROTECTION CAMPAIGN THE FINRA FOUNDATION LAUNCHED A RESEARCH-BASED, SOCIAL CHANGE CAMPAIGN DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF INVESTMENT FRAUD AMONG INVESTORS. DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH AARP, STATE SECURITIES REGULATORS AND NOTED EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF FRAUD AND PERSUASION, CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES ARM INVESTORS WITH THE TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED TO: REALIZE THEY ARE VULNERABLE TO FINANCIAL FRAUD; IDENTIFY PERSUASION TACTICS USED BY FRAUDSTERS; AND REDUCE RISKY BEHAVIORS BY ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND KNOWING HOW TO VERIFY ANSWERS. RESULTS OF A FIELD TEST DEMONSTRATE THAT THE "OUTSMARTING INVESTMENT FRAUD" CURRICULUM REDUCED RESPONSIVENESS TO A FRAUD APPEAL BY OVER FIFTY PERCENT. 4C) MILITARY FINANCIAL EDUCATION PROJECT THE FINRA FOUNDATION DEVELOPED SAVEANDINVEST.ORG AS A FINANCIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM TO EXPAND THE SAVING AND INVESTING KNOWLEDGE OF MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR SPOUSES. THE MULTI-FACETED INITIATIVE INCLUDES: AN ONLINE RESOURCE CENTER; ON-THE-GROUND TRAINING; EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND PROGRAMS; AND A LONG-TERM PUBLIC OUTREACH CAMPAIGN. THE FOUNDATION IS A PROUD PARTNER IN THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FINANCIAL READINESS CAMPAIGN. 4D) OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES ARE COMPRISED OF THE FOLLOWING: NATIONAL FINANCIAL CAPABILITY STUDY IN 2009, THE FINRA FOUNDATION CONDUCTED A STUDY OF AMERICAN ADULTS' FINANCIAL CAPABILITY IN CONSULTATION WITH THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT AND THE PRESIDENT'S ADVISORY COUNCIL ON FINANCIAL LITERACY. THE STUDY WAS COMPRISED OF THREE LINKED SURVEYS: A NATIONAL SURVEY; A MILITARY SURVEY; AND A STATE-BY-STATE SURVEY. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE MEASURE OF THE ABILITY OF AMERICANS TO MANAGE THEIR MONEY BY PROVIDING EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF THE CURRENT STATE OF FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE AMONG ADULTS, WHY CONSUMERS BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO AND THE ATTITUDES THAT CONSUMERS HAVE TOWARDS FINANCES. THE FOUNDATION IS WORKING WITH THE RE-NAMED PRESIDENT'S ADVISORY COUNCIL ON FINANCIAL CAPABILITY AND A VARIETY OF ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES TO RE-FIELD THE STATE-BY-STATE AND MILITARY COMPONENTS OF THE STUDY IN 2012. TEEN FINANCIAL LITERACY PROJECT THE FOUNDATION, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA AND USING THE CHANNEL ONE NETWORK AS THE CHIEF SERVICE PROVIDER, SUPPORTED A MULTIMEDIA PROJECT TO IMPROVE KNOWLEDGE OF SELECT, FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT FINANCIAL LITERACY CONCEPTS AMONG AMERICAN TEENAGERS, AND TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SKILLS TO APPLY THESE CONCEPTS TO EVERYDAY FINANCIAL DECISION-MAKING. TOPICS INCLUDE COMPOUND INTEREST, SAVING AND INVESTING TO ACHIEVE LIFE GOALS, BUDGETING AND THE USES AND MISUSES OF CREDIT. SPECIAL ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO TOPICS THAT ARE CLOSELY LINKED TO MATHEMATICS. COLLEGE STUDENT DEBT PROJECT THE FOUNDATION, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INSTITUTE FOR COLLEGE ACCESS AND SUCCESS (TICAS) DEVELOPED A PUBLICATION ON COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRACTICES RELATED TO PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON UPSTREAM, PROACTIVE STEPS TO REIN IN RISKY BORROWING. THE REPORT IDENTIFIES EXAMPLES FROM A VARIETY OF COLLEGES (LARGE AND SMALL, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, FOUR-YEAR AND TWO-YEAR, NON-PROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT) AND ANALYZES WHAT SEEMS TO BE WORKING OR NOT WORKING AND WHY.
CLASSES OF MEMBERS AND THE NATURE OF THEIR RIGHTS FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 6, 7A and 7B LINE 6 - FINRA IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF FINRA INVESTOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION. LINE 7A - FINRA, AS SOLE MEMBER, ELECTS ALL MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY. LINE 7B - THE BYLAWS OF THE CORPORATION MAY BE ADOPTED, AMENDED OR REPEALED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DIRECTORS IN OFFICE; PROVIDED, THAT ANY AMENDMENT TO THE SECTIONS OF THE BYLAWS GOVERNING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS, THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, VACANCIES OR REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF THE MEMBER, FINRA. THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION MAY BE AMENDED OR REPEALED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ONLY WITH THE AFFIRMATIVE APPROVAL OF THE MEMBER, FINRA.
FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11 THE FORM 990 WAS REVIEWED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT AT VARIOUS STEPS THROUGHOUT THE PREPARATION CYCLE. THE FOUNDATION BOARD REVIEWED THE FINAL VERSION ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2012. FORM 990, PART VI EMPLOYMENT RULES AND POLICIES THE FINRA INVESTOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION, INC. DOES NOT HAVE ANY EMPLOYEES. ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY EMPLOYEES OF FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY, INC. (FINRA). THE FINRA INVESTOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION DOES NOT PAY FOR THEIR SERVICES. AS SUCH, THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE SUBJECT TO THE EMPLOYMENT RULES AND POLICIES OF FINRA.
WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT GOVERNS THE PROFESSIONAL AND ETHICAL CONDUCT OF BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY REQUIRES BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS TO MAKE INITIAL DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS AS WELL AS ANNUAL DISCLOSURE BY THE SAME BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE WRITTEN POLICY CONTAINS AN ONGOING OBLIGATION OF BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND STAFF TO DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AS THEY ARISE. THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS AND STAFF ARE EMPLOYEES OF FINRA, AND, AS SUCH, ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO CERTIFY ANNUALLY AS TO THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE WRITTEN POLICY CONTAINS AN ONGOING OBLIGATION FOR EMPLOYEES TO INFORM FINRA OF ALL BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS IN WHICH THEY HAVE AN INTEREST AND TO ARRANGE FOR FINRA TO RECEIVE DUPLICATE ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. FINRA REVIEWS TRANSACTIONS IN EMPLOYEES' BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THESE RESTRICTIONS PROHIBIT EMPLOYEES FROM HAVING AN INTEREST IN A BROKER-DEALER OR ENTITY THAT DERIVES 10% OR MORE OF ITS REVENUE, NET OF INTEREST EXPENSE, FROM BROKER-DEALER SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES. A LIST OF PROHIBITED COMPANIES IS POSTED ON FINRA'S CORPORATE INTRANET. FINRA'S DEPARTMENT HEADS HAVE ACCESS TO SEVERAL ONLINE REPORTS THAT HELP THEM AVOID ASSIGNING AN EMPLOYEE TO WORK ON A PROJECT THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT. FOR INSTANCE, A MANAGER CAN DETERMINE WHETHER AN EMPLOYEE'S STOCK HOLDINGS WOULD CONFLICT WITH A PROPOSED FINRA ASSIGNMENT (E.G., ASSIGNING AN EMPLOYEE TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH A VENDOR IN WHICH THE EMPLOYEE HAS A SIGNIFICANT STOCK POSITION). EMPLOYEES ARE REGULARLY REMINDED OF THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO. IN ADDITION TO TALKING TO DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEES CAN DISCUSS CONFLICTS-RELATED CONCERNS WITH FINRA'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL OR ETHICS MANAGER. IF THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DISCLOSING AN ISSUE AND DISCLOSING THEIR IDENTITY, THEY CAN USE FINRA'S 24-HOUR ETHICSPOINT HOTLINE TO POSE QUESTIONS OR REPORT CONCERNS. COMMUNICATIONS MADE THROUGH ETHICSPOINT ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND, IF THE EMPLOYEE WISHES, ANONYMOUS. FINRA'S WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY FORBIDS RETALIATION AGAINST EMPLOYEES WHO REPORT SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT IN GOOD FAITH, EVEN IF THE REPORT ULTIMATELY PROVES TO BE ERRONEOUS.
PROCESS TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION OF CEO, EXEC. DIR. OR TOP OFFICIALS, OTHER OFFICERS, AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF FINRA THE MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS (THE "COMMITTEE") IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING PAY FOR EXECUTIVES OF FINRA AND SUBSIDIARIES WHOSE TOTAL COMPENSATION, INCLUDING INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, MAY EXCEED $1 MILLION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF FOUR NON-EMPLOYEE, NON-SECURITIES INDUSTRY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. THE COMMITTEE MET ON NOVEMBER 8, 2010, DECEMBER 7, 2010, JANUARY 24, 2011, AND AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 2, 2011 TO ESTABLISH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2010 AND TO ESTABLISH BASE SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2011. AS A GENERAL POLICY, FINRA HAS DETERMINED ITS COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION POSITIONING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AGAINST A BROAD SECTION OF FINANCIAL SERVICES/CAPITAL MARKET COMPANIES, AS THIS SECTOR IS THE MOST LIKELY FROM WHICH WE RECRUIT TALENT AND TALENT IS RECRUITED FROM US. WE ALSO BENCHMARK AGAINST GENERAL INDUSTRY POSITIONS AND LAW DEPARTMENTS FOR JOBS THAT ARE NOT UNIQUE TO THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED MERCER, INC. ("MERCER"), A THIRD-PARTY COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, TO PREPARE A COMPENSATION STUDY FOR REVIEW AT THESE MEETINGS. IN DETERMINING A BENCHMARKING STRATEGY FOR KEY EXECUTIVES, FINANCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS (BROKER-DEALERS, INVESTMENT BANKS, FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, EXCHANGES AND REGULATORS) WERE DETERMINED TO BE THE MOST RELEVANT GROUPS FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. THE COMMITTEE AND MERCER ENGAGED IN SUBSTANTIAL RESEARCH AND CONSIDERATION OF THE FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS OF SEVERAL POTENTIAL COMPARATORS AS WELL AS GENERAL COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS. IN DETERMINING SALARY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, MANAGEMENT AND THE COMMITTEE ALSO CONSIDER OPERATIONAL, STRATEGIC AND FINANCIAL FACTORS IN ADDITION TO INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE. THE COMMITTEE'S MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 8, 2010, DECEMBER 7, 2010, JANUARY 24, 2011 AND FEBRUARY 2, 2011 MEETINGS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED AS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE FOLLOWING THE COMMITTEE'S APPROVAL OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGES. THE FULL BOARD FURTHER APPROVED THE 2010 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO AT ITS MEETING ON FEBRUARY 2, 2011. ALL COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEMBERS VOTED FOR THE PROPOSED LEVEL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19 THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE FOR EBRI CONTRIBUTION   FINRA REGULATION CONTRIBUTED A TOTAL OF $32,500 IN 2011 TO THE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH FUND (EBRI-ERF), A SEPARATE CORPORATE 501(C)(3) AFFILIATE FOR THE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE, OF WHICH FINRA FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBER (THROUGH DECEMBER 2011), DALLAS L.
