FIN 48 DISCLOSURE: FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 NPR IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE CODE. NPR IS LIABLE FOR INCOME TAX ON UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 512 OF THE CODE. ANY POTENTIAL TAX LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF NPR IN 2014 WILL BE OFFSET BY EXISTING NET OPERATING LOSS (NOL) CARRY-FORWARDS SO NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, NPR HAD AVAILABLE FEDERAL NOL CARRY-FORWARDS TOTALING $13,550,597. THE LATEST NOL CARRY-FORWARDS WILL EXPIRE IN FISCAL YEAR 2033. BECAUSE THE REALIZATION OF THE NOL CARRY-FORWARDS IS UNCERTAIN, NPR HAS NOT RECORDED A DEFERRED TAX ASSET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014. NPR IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF NPR FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION). FOUNDATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (CODE). THE FOUNDATION IS LIABLE FOR INCOME TAX ON UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 512 OF THE CODE. ANY POTENTIAL TAX LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF THE FOUNDATION IN 2014 WILL BE OFFSET BY EXISTING NOL CARRY-FORWARDS SO NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, THE FOUNDATION HAD AVAILABLE FEDERAL NOL CARRY-FORWARDS TOTALING $882,309. THE LATEST NOL CARRY-FORWARDS WILL EXPIRE IN FISCAL YEAR 2033. BECAUSE THE REALIZATION OF THE NOL CARRY-FORWARDS IS UNCERTAIN, THE FOUNDATION HAS NOT RECORDED A DEFERRED TAX ASSET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014. NPR IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF NPR MEDIA BERLIN. NPR MEDIA BERLIN IS REGISTERED AS A NONPROFIT LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY UNDER GERMAN LAW WHICH IS DESIGNATED BY "GGMBH". NPR MEDIA BERLIN, AS A GERMAN REGISTERED NONPROFIT, IS EXEMPT FROM CORPORATE INCOME AND TRADE TAXES ON ALL OPERATIONS EXCEPT THOSE THAT DO NOT SERVE THE NONPROFIT PURPOSE OF THE ENTITY (I.E., UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES). BECAUSE RETURNS ARE FILED ONE YEAR IN ARREARS, THE NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY-FORWARD FOR NPR MEDIA BERLIN TOTALED $802,769 AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2013. BECAUSE THE REALIZATION OF THE NOL CARRY-FORWARD IS UNCERTAIN, NPR MEDIA BERLIN HAS NOT RECORDED A DEFERRED TAX ASSET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014. NATIONAL PUBLIC MEDIA, LLC (NPM), RELATED ORGANIZATION, IS TREATED AS A PARTNERSHIP FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, NPR AND THE OTHER MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT THEIR SHARES OF INCOME OR LOSS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INCOME TAX RETURNS. EACH MEMBER OF NPM IS, THEREFORE, SEPARATELY LIABLE FOR ANY RELATED TAXES THEREON. ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX HAS BEEN MADE. NPM IS LIABLE FOR INCOME TAXES IN CERTAIN STATES AND LOCAL JURISDICTIONS WHERE NPM OPERATES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, NPM ACCRUED STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES TOTALING $9,800. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT NPR, THE FOUNDATION, AND NPM ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR FISCAL YEARS PRIOR TO FISCAL YEAR 2011. FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, THERE WERE NO MATERIAL INTEREST OR PENALTIES RECORDED OR INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. THE EFFECTS OF A TAX POSITION CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNLESS IT IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS AS OF THE REPORTING DATE. THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD REPRESENTS A POSITIVE ASSERTION BY MANAGEMENT THAT THE FOUNDATION, NPR, AND NPM ARE ENTITLED TO THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF A TAX POSITION. IF A TAX POSITION IS NOT CONSIDERED MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, NO BENEFITS OF THE POSITION ARE TO BE RECOGNIZED. MOREOVER, THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD MUST CONTINUE TO BE MET IN EACH REPORTING PERIOD TO SUPPORT CONTINUED RECOGNITION OF A BENEFIT. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH A LIABILITY SHOULD BE RECORDED.
