Return Reference Explanation
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, 2014 IN AN AUDIT REPORT DATED June 30, 2014 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. SINCE THE TIME OF THE INVESTIGATION, 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 AND 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. On November 15, 2012, the Foundation was notified that the IRS would examine the tax year ended March 31, 2009, for the Arizona Sports Foundation. Since that time, the examination has been initiated and is in process. 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, 2014 and 2013, 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."
