Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 THE BOARD DESIGNATED PORTION OF THE ENDOWMENT IS RESTRICTED TO ASSIST THE USO, INC. IN DELIVERING ITS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR MANY YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. THESE BOARD DESIGNATED CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT EARNINGS ARE AVAILABLE TO FUND OPERATIONS; HOWEVER, CONTRIBUTIONS/EARNINGS HAVE NOT BEEN SPENT TO DATE.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The USO is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as amended, as an organization described in IRC Section 501(c)(3). However, income generated from activities unrelated to the USOs exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The USO did not have any material unrelated business income tax liability for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Therefore, no tax liability has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. US GAAP requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based ON A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD. THIS APPLIES TO POSITIONS TAKEN OR expected to be taken in a tax return. The USO does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions for the open tax years.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 For more than 73 years, the USO is the only private, non-profit organization that serves the U.S. military throughout their service, from the moment they join, through their deployments and as they transition back to their communities. We accomplish our mission by delivering highly valued programs, morale-boosting services and engaging entertainment that help them feel appreciated for their service. Our scope, scale, presence, reach and knowledge, and the resulting trust of the U.S. military, give the USO the unparalleled ability to meet the wide range of needs of troops and families. In a 2013 survey, troops and families agreed that the USO delivers just what they need. - 97% say the USO boosts their morale - 95% say the USO shows our country supports them - 94% say the USO eases their separation from family and friends The USO relies primarily on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - USO Centers For over 73 years, the USO has always been by the side of our troops and their families. At over 160 locations worldwide (82 direct reporting centers), we help Americans fill the gaps to ensure a more resilient, healthy and ready military community in order to protect our way of life. The USO is a private, non-profit organization that relies on the generosity of millions of donors. Americans can trust that our armed forces will keep us safe - we must do everything in our power to support them. The USO provides a warm and comforting place where troops and families can connect via Internet or telephone, play a video game, catch a movie, have a snack or just put their feet up and relax. USO provides support and comfort at these centers and whereever troops are serving: - active duty troops - military families - troops in transition - wounded, ill and injured troops, their families and caregivers - families of the fallen The USO also works with military commands in locations not served by a USO Center to meet location specific needs and provide support in a variety of settings and geographic regions. USO Day Rooms as well as respite and recreational support can be found at select transition command units at military bases and hospitals in the U.S. and overseas. Our impact is reflected in more than 8 million annual visits (6 million visits at direct reporting centers) in 2013 to USO centers from South Korea to Germany, from Okinawa to Afghanistan, at training bases and airports across the country and for those serving on ships and squadrons deployed around the world. Wherever troops and their families are, the USO is well postured to respond to emerging requests. - In 2013, 121 USO locations (31 direct reporting centers) in the United States were visited more than 3.6 million times (more than 1.4 million times at direct reporting centers), providing USO Warrior and Family Care programs, No Dough Dinners for military families, and homecoming and deployment sendoffs. - The 15 USO locations in Southwest Asia were visited more than 3.1 million times in 2013. The USO provides a connection to home through our private telephone network and multiple program offerings including health and wellness, tournaments, and United through Reading. - The USO opened its second Warrior and Family Center on the grounds of Naval Service Activity Bethesda, the home of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The center is strategically located adjacent to Tranquility Hall - the warrior transition brigade's barracks - making it convenient for wounded, ill and injured troops and their families to take advantage of the facilities and USO Warrior and Family Care programs during the recovery process. The Bethesda center - which is more than 16,000 square feet - features the latest in technology and learning spaces along with unique spots to relax like a healing garden and a fireside lounge. A gaming room and a space dedicated to creative arts provide a setting for innovative programming. The first center is currently offering a comprehensive array of specialized services and programs in a supportive and home-like setting and has been visited more than 100,000 times by troops, their families and caregivers. - More than 29,000 volunteers gave 1.5 million hours (more than 13,000 volunteers at direct reporting centers) in 2013 in service of troops and families. Eighty percent of USO volunteers polled cited "interaction with troops and their families" as their greatest reward. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - Entertainment Entertainment tours bring celebrities and performers who graciously donate their time to lift the spirits of our troops and their families around the world. In 2013, the USO deployed 123 celebrity entertainers on 103 tours to 12 states and 25 countries - including 14 tours to combat zones -- entertaining more than 262,509 troops and military families. USO tour veterans' passion for and support of our men and women in uniform and their families best exemplifies the ideals and mission of the USO: being by their side wherever they serve. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - Active Duty and Military Family Programs For more than 73 years, the USO has accomplished our mission by delivering highly valued programs and morale-boosting services that help them feel appreciated for their service. USO Programs provides support and comfort through distributing care packages, electronic gaming, sports/musical equipment and personal care items to deployed troops and troops in remote locations. In 2013, more than 70,000 care packages, 160 USO2Go bundles, and 275 holiday boxes were delivered to troops including those in remote areas of the world. Provide connectivity with friends and family through a private phone network that allows troops to make free calls home, access to computers with free high speed internet bandwidth, and internet access for their own computers, as well as, distribute free international pre-paid calling cards. In 2013, the USO shipped phone cards to more than 417 locations around the globe. In Southwest Asia alone, more than 20 million minutes were logged in free talk time for our service men and women in 2013. Provide support for military children to help families deal with the challenges of deployments and homecomings by connecting a deployed parent with their children back home through United Through Reading (over 31,000 recordings sent in 2013), through distribution of more than 47,000 With You All the Way kits that help children cope with deployments and when a parent returns home "different" and other various programs.
