UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS - FIN 48 (ASC 740) SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 THE ORGANIZATION HAD A FOOTNOTE TO ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT ADDRESSING AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION UNDER FIN 48(ASC 740). PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2, THE ENTIRETY OF THE FOOTNOTE IS QUOTED HERE. THE FOOTNOTE WAS ISSUED AS PART OF OUR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 IN AN AUDIT REPORT DATED JULY 12, 2012 ISSUED BY ERNST & YOUNG LLP. "During fiscal 2011, a Special Committee of the Foundation's Board of Directors directed an investigation into matters related to, among other things, the reimbursement of political contributions made by employees, potential excessive executive compensation, and inappropriate expenditures and gifts. The Special Committee found evidence of reimbursed political contributions and inappropriate gifts and expenses. Matters relating to expenditures and excess compensation continue to be addressed by the Board of Directors and management. The Foundation has taken steps to address the concerns raised in the Special Committee report including, but not limited to, the termination of employees; the hiring of a new executive director, chief financial officer, chief compliance officer/general counsel, and controller; the implementation of changes to the governance structure, including restructuring committees of the Board of Directors; and the establishment of more detailed policies and procedures. Upon examination of the results of the Special Committee investigation and review done subsequent to the special investigation, management believes that the expenses paid by the Foundation have been appropriately recorded in the historical financial statements. Any recoveries of expenses paid will be recorded, if any when they are received. Some of the Foundation's prior activities could risk the Foundation's Section 501 (c)(3) exemption from federal income taxes. These activities fall into four categories: (i) political expenditures, (ii) lobbying expenditures, (iii) benefits provided to disqualified persons, and (iv) benefits provided to third parties. In all these areas, the Foundation has taken and will continue to take corrective action as follows: Political campaign contributions - The Foundation has sought to recover such amounts from candidates and changed its internal bonus and expense reimbursement policies and practices. Lobbying activities - The Foundation has investigated these expenditures and believes that all of the expenses paid by the Foundation to professional services firms were proper and the Foundation is not aware of lobbying activities conducted by the Foundation other than a small amount of indirect support provided for fundraising events. Benefits provided to disqualified persons - The Foundation has amended income tax reporting for certain directors, former directors, employees, and consultants for recent years. The Foundation has also quantified all inurement and possible excess benefit transactions and reported such amounts for income tax purposes. Benefits provided to third parties - The Foundation has investigated and has not identified any significant amounts that raise inurement or impermissible private benefit issues with third parties. The IRS has broad discretion when determining whether or not to revoke the tax-exempt status of an offending charitable organization or to impose alternative corrective actions. Although the Foundation cannot predict the outcome with certainty, based on the corrective actions the Foundation has taken and expects to continue to take, management believes it is more likely than not that the Foundation will retain its tax-exempt status under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, management believes it continues to be appropriate to record no provision for income taxes in these combined financial statements. The Foundation has accrued a liability at March 31, 2012, for excise taxes related to reimbursed political campaign contributions since 2000 and for withholding and employment taxes with respect to amounts that represent compensation but which were not initially treated as such by the Foundation. These amounts total approximately $122,000 and represent the estimated liabilities identified to date. It is reasonably possible additional amounts may be identified and the IRS could assess a penalty or other amount to the Foundation. Any such additional liabilities cannot be estimated at this time and a liability has not been recorded in the accompanying combined financial statements. The IRS has provided statutory guidance stating that qualified sponsorship contributions (payments where there is no expectation of any substantial return benefits other than the use or acknowledgment of the corporate name or logo) received by not-for-profit organizations are not taxable unrelated business income. Management believes that the contributions received by the Foundation qualify under the statutory provisions and therefore are not taxable. In addition, should the contributions be deemed taxable, management believes that the revenues should be reduced by related expenses. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes for unrelated business income has been recognized in the accompanying combined financial statements."

EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTIONS   Part I - Excess Benefit Transaction - Supplemental Information The Arizona Sports Foundation has undertaken an extensive process to examine the benefits and salary received by its former President/CEO, John Junker. With help of forensic accountants, the Foundation presented to Mr. Junker a list of expenses, for which Mr. Junker received reimbursement, that were considered to be questionable in their business purpose. Mr. Junker was given an opportunity to respond and provide a business purpose for those expenses. After considering Mr. Junker's response and the pertinent information gathered, those reimbursed expenses deemed unrelated to the Foundation's business were considered compensation to Mr. Junker and were reported to him as such on an amended Form W-2. For the years 2007, 2008, and 2009, Mr. Junker's compensation, including the above-mentioned reimbursed expenses, was compared to other similarly situated chief executives in the industry. The Form 990 of other organizations and Football Bowl Association compensation studies were considered. In comparing these amounts, it was determined the compensation, including the above-referenced reimbursed expenses, received by Mr. Junker was in excess of compensation paid to other similarly situated chief executives for those years. The amount of excess benefit by year is described in the table below. Having engaged in a diligent search of historical records and having consulted with outside legal counsel, the Foundation believes the requirements for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness have been satisfied with regard to Mr. Junker's base compensation. The Foundation corresponded with Mr. Junker requesting excess compensation and benefits (listed in the table below) be returned to the Foundation with interest. Mr. Junker has declined to repay the organization. IRC Code Section 4958 imposes an initial excise tax of 25% of the excess compensation on the disqualified person or organization manager who receives excess compensation. In addition, an initial excise tax of 10% is imposed on the organization manager who approves or initiates the payment. It is the Foundation's position that Mr. Junker both initiated the payments and received the payments and would therefore be subject to both the 10% and 25% initial excise taxes imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 4958. The excise taxes are payable to the Internal Revenue Service directly by Mr. Junker and are not owed by the Foundation. Excess Compensation Excess Benefit 10% 25% Total 2007 75,623 7,562 18,906 26,468 2008 10,755 1,076 2,689 3,765 2009 129,361 12,936 32,340 45,276 215,739 21,574 53,935 75,509
