Return Reference	Explanation
Escrow and Custodial Arrangements	SCHEDULE D, PART IV, LINE 2B AT TIMES, ROOT CAPITAL CO-LENDS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND ADMINISTERS THE ENTIRE LOAN. CREDIT COUNSELING AND DEBT MANAGEMENT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY THE CO-LENDER. IN MANY LOCATIONS, ROOT CAPITAL BEARS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE A TRIANGULATED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CO-LENDER, BORROWER, AND COMMERCIAL BUYER. THIS CREATES AN ADDED MEASURE OF SECURITY FOR ROOT CAPITAL'S CLIENTS BY ENSURING THAT THEIR PRODUCTS CAN BE SOLD AT A FAIR PRICE, AND HELPS BUYERS CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOCAL ECONOMIES. THE ESCROW FUNDS REPRESENT A TIMING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPAYMENTS FROM BORROWERS AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS DUE TO CO-LENDING PARTNERS. THE ESCROW ACCOUNT IS ALSO USED WHEN A BUYER PAYS ROOT CAPITAL THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE MONEY OWED TO A SUPPLIER/BORROWER. ROOT CAPITAL DEDUCTS THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST OWED ON ITS LOAN AND FORWARDS THE REMAINING BALANCE TO THE SUPPLIER/BORROWER.
Liability for Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740)	SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 Root Capital follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the combined financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. Root Capital is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. Root Capital has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated business income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. Root Capital has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. In addition, Root Capital has not recorded a provision for income taxes as it has no material tax liability from unrelated business income activities.
