Return Reference	Explanation
Part X, Line 2:	The Chamber is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Chamber is liable for federal and state taxes on any unrelated business income, as defined in the Code. The Chamber follows Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Chamber's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to the Chamber, including any related interest and penalties, when it is more likely than not the position taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such positions as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and accordingly, no liability has been accrued. Income tax returns filed prior to the year ended December 31, 2012 are no longer subject to audit by the taxing authority.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:	REVENUE FROM SUBSIDIARY - CHAMBER SERVICES, INC. 414,588.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:	EXPENSES FROM SUBSIDIARY - CHAMBER SERVICES, INC. 396,254.
