Return Reference Explanation
PART V, LINE 4: IN RECENT YEARS, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DESIGNATED A PORTION OF THE EXCESS OF REVENUES LESS EXPENSES TO BE ESTABLISHED AS A QUASI-ENDOWMENT. FOLLOWING THE SALE OF THE STUDENT ASSESSMENT DIVISION ON DECEMBER 31, 2019, THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE WERE ADDED TO THE PORTION OF THE FUND BALANCE DESIGNATED AS A QUASI-ENDOWMENT AS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 1B, COLUMN (A). AIR MAINTAINS THE QUASI-ENDOWMENT TO SUPPORT ITS MISSION, AND IN PARTICULAR: 1) TO ENSURE AIR'S LONG-TERM, FUTURE FINANCIAL STRENGTH, 2) TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF NON-RECURRING TRANSACTIONS SUCH AS LOAN COLLATERALIZATION SUPPORTING ACQUISITION ACTIVITY, AND 3) TO FUND SELF-SPONSORED RESEARCH AND GRANT-MAKING INITIATIVES THAT ADVANCE AIR'S MISSION AND ARE OTHERWISE NOT FUNDED BY OTHER SOURCES.
PART X, LINE 2: AIR IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE TAX STATUS OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES AS DETERMINED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) OR APPLICABLE FOREIGN AUTHORITY. IRC SECTION 501(C)(3) EXEMPTS MOST OF AIR'S OPERATIONS FROM INCOME TAX EXCEPT FOR UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME (UBI). EFFECTIVE IN DECEMBER 2017, IRC CHANGES CAUSED AIR'S OBLIGATIONS FOR UBIT AND OTHER EXCISE TAXES TO INCREASE. GOING FORWARD, INCOME OR EXCISE TAXES WILL BE DUE BASED ON COMPENSATION EXCEEDING STATUTORY THRESHOLDS; AND FROM INVESTMENT EARNINGS FROM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS OWNED IN ITS QUASI-ENDOWMENT. AIR'S MANAGEMENT HAS PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND DETERMINED THAT NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS QUALIFY FOR EITHER RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AIR'S TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO PERIODIC EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO EXAMINATIONS IN PROGRESS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES AIR IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2016.
