Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2: ASC 740 FOOTNOTE THE COMPANY [CABLE TELEVISION LABORATORIES, INC.] IS A QUALIFIED NOT-FOR-PROFIT, NONSTOCK MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON INCOME RELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(A) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) AS AN ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN IRC SECTION 501(C)(6). THE COMPANY FOLLOWS FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION (ASC) 740, INCOME TAXES, WHICH PRESCRIBES A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF A TAX POSITION TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN. IN ADDITION, THE STANDARD PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS, AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR UNCERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS. ANY INCOME GENERATED BY THE COMPANY FROM ACTIVITIES UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE IS SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES. THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES ARE CONSIDERED EXEMPT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENT ON THE PART OF MANAGEMENT. HOWEVER, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) ISSUED A PRIVATE LETTER RULING IN WHICH IT CONCLUDED THAT CERTIFICATION AND CERTAIN INVESTING ACTIVITIES ARE RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S EXEMPT PURPOSE. THE COMPANY RECORDS INCOME TAX LIABILITIES ON INCOME-PRODUCING ACTIVITIES WHEN APPROPRIATE. THE CURRENT PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES REPRESENTS ACTUAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNTS PAYABLE OR REFUNDABLE ON TAX RETURNS FILED OR TO BE FILED EACH YEAR. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THE FUTURE TAX CONSEQUENCES ATTRIBUTABLE TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CARRYING AMOUNTS OF EXISTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX BASES AND OPERATING LOSS AND TAX CREDIT CARRYFORWARDS. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE MEASURED USING ENACTED TAX RATES EXPECTED TO APPLY TO TAXABLE INCOME IN THE YEARS IN WHICH THOSE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE RECOVERED OR SETTLED. THE EFFECT ON DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF A CHANGE IN TAX RATES IS RECOGNIZED IN OPERATIONS IN THE PERIOD THAT INCLUDES THE ENACTMENT DATE. THE OVERALL CHANGE IN DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FOR THE PERIOD MEASURES THE DEFERRED TAX EXPENSE OR BENEFIT FOR THE PERIOD. THE MEASUREMENT OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS MAY BE REDUCED BY A VALUATION ALLOWANCE BASED ON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF AVAILABLE EVIDENCE IF DEEMED MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT SOME OR ALL OF THE DEFERRED TAX ASSETS WILL NOT BE REALIZED.

GENERAL STATEMENT 1 FORM 990 PART III LINE 1: ORGANIZATION'S MISSION CABLELABS CO-INNOVATES UNEXPECTED SOLUTIONS THAT TRANSFORM AND INSPIRE OUR INDUSTRY. WE STRIVE TO DELIVER INNOVATIONS THAT ENABLE OUR MEMBERS TO BE THE PROVIDER OF CHOICE IN THEIR MARKETS.
GENERAL STATEMENT 2 PART III, LINE 4: STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICES FOUNDED IN 1988 BY CABLE OPERATING COMPANIES, CABLE TELEVISION LABORATORIES, INC. (CABLELABS OR THE COMPANY) IS A NONPROFIT INNOVATION AND R&D LAB THAT IS DEDICATED TO CREATING AND LEVERAGING INNOVATIVE IDEAS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT ITS CABLE OPERATOR MEMBERS' BUSINESS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD BY ALLOWING THEM TO BE THE PROVIDERS OF CHOICE IN THE MARKETS THEY SERVE. THE COMPANY'S KEY OBJECTIVES ARE TO PROVIDE A CENTRAL SOURCE OF TIMELY INFORMATION ABOUT TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS OF INTEREST TO THE INDUSTRY; PLAN, PERFORM, AND FUND INNOVATION AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT ALIGN WITH THE OVERALL INTERESTS OF THE CABLE INDUSTRY; FACILITATE THE TRANSFER OF RELEVANT TECHNOLOGY AND BEST PRACTICES FOR DEPLOYING NEW TECHNOLOGY TO MEMBER COMPANIES AND PROVIDERS TO THE INDUSTRY; AND PROVIDE SERVICES THAT PROMOTE INTEROPERABILITY OF RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES SO THAT THEY ARE SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED BY MEMBER COMPANIES. CABLELABS MEMBERSHIP COMPRISES MAJOR CABLE OPERATORS WORLDWIDE.

THE LAB SERVICES GROUP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABORATORY FACILITIES AT CABLELABS, AS WELL AS OTHER TESTING RELATED ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THE LAB. THIS INCLUDES HOSTING INTEROPERABILITY EVENTS WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE NEUTRAL GROUND FOR MANUFACTURERS TO TEST HOW EFFECTIVELY THEIR PRODUCTS WORK WITH EACH OTHER; AND HOSTING DEVELOPMENT LAB ACTIVITIES TO ACCELERATE MANUFACTURERS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT OR PROVIDE ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT THEY DO NOT HAVE IN THEIR OWN LABS TO IMPROVE PRODUCT READINESS.

GENERAL STATEMENT 6 PART VI, SECTION B, 12C: POLICIES AN ANNUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE CODE OF ETHICS FOR DIRECTORS CONTAINING CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROVISIONS IS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. EACH BOARD MEMBER IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CODE AND DISCLOSE TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OR CHAIRMAN OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE ANY INTERESTS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY FAMILY RELATIONSHIP OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY OTHER OFFICER, DIRECTOR OR KEY EMPLOYEE. THE BOARD SHALL DETERMINE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN THE EVENT THAT THIS CODE IS VIOLATED. APPROPRIATE ACTIONS SHALL BE REASONABLY DESIGNED TO DETER WRONGDOING AND TO PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ADHERENCE TO THE CODE. SUCH ACTIONS MAY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO REMOVAL OF A BOARD MEMBER FROM THE BOARD FOR A VIOLATION OF THE CODE. ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST E-MAIL REQUESTS ARE SENT TO OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, TO WHICH ALL RECIPIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO RESPOND WITH DISCLOSURE OF ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OF WHICH THEY ARE AWARE. CABLELABS' EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK STATES THAT EMPLOYEES MUST NOT HAVE ANY PERSONAL INTERESTS WHICH CONFLICT WITH THOSE OF CABLELABS OR WHICH MIGHT INFLUENCE OR APPEAR TO INFLUENCE ONE'S JUDGMENT OR ACTIONS WHILE EMPLOYED AT CABLELABS. IF AN EMPLOYEE VIOLATES THIS POLICY, CABLELABS, IN ITS DISCRETION, MAY TAKE WHATEVER STEPS AND/OR DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS IT BELIEVES APPROPRIATE TO REMEDY THE VIOLATION, UP TO AND INCLUDING DISMISSAL.
GENERAL STATEMENT 7 PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A & 15B: POLICIES CABLELABS IS A 501(C)(6) TRADE ASSOCIATION WHOSE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ARE TO GATHER, ASSESS, AND DISSEMINATE TECHNICAL INFORMATION OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE TO THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY, TO IDENTIFY, PLAN, ENGAGE IN AND FUND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE INDUSTRY, DIRECTLY OR IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS, AND TO TRANSFER SUCH TECHNOLOGIES TO THE INDUSTRY THROUGH REPORTS, SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, LICENSES, LOANS OF PERSONNEL AND OTHER APPROPRIATE MEANS. THE HIGHLY TECHNICAL AND SPECIALIZED NATURE OF THESE ACTIVITIES REQUIRES CABLELABS TO HIRE HIGHLY EDUCATED AND TRAINED PROFESSIONALS EXPERIENCED IN THE INDUSTRY FROM A VERY COMPETITIVE EMPLOYMENT POOL OFFERING CANDIDATES SIMILAR OPPORTUNITIES AT MARKET SALARIES. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF CABLELABS LOOKS AT THE COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF ANOTHER INDUSTRY TRADE ASSOCIATION ALONG WITH CERTAIN SENIOR TECHNICAL POSITIONS (E.G. CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICERS) WITHIN THEIR OWN MEMBER COMPANIES (E.G. COMCAST OR CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS). WHEN OUR CEO WAS HIRED, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWED AN INDUSTRY EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SURVEY FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS AND CREATED CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIAL DOCUMENTATION OF COMPENSATION IN AN EXECUTED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WHICH WAS ALSO REVIEWED BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. ANNUAL SALARY INCREASES AND BONUSES, IF APPLICABLE, ARE DETERMINED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS AND GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN 2 AND 3 PERCENT. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER DETERMINES THE COMPENSATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. COMPENSATION FOR THE OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES IS SET BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OF TALENT SOLUTIONS. COMPREHENSIVE SALARY SURVEYS ARE COMPLETED EVERY FEW YEARS. IN THE INTERVENING YEARS, SALARY ADJUSTMENTS ARE BASED ON GENERAL MARKET TRENDS AND SURVEYS OF CABLELABS' MEMBER COMPANIES.
GENERAL STATEMENT 8 PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19: DISCLOSURE CABLELABS DOES NOT MAKE ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, OR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
