PART V, LINE 4:	INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES FOR ENDOWMENT ASSETS THAT ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS. TO SATISFY THE LONG-TERM RATE-OF-RETURN OBJECTIVES, THE OPERA RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (REALIZED AND UNREALIZED) AND CURRENT YIELD (INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS). THESE POLICIES ESTABLISH ASSET CLASSES THAT ARE DEEMED SUITABLE FOR INVESTMENT OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS, WHICH CURRENTLY INCLUDE INVESTMENTS IN DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES, FIXED INCOME, ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES, AND REAL ASSETS THROUGH THE FOUNDATION INVESTMENT POOL. IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF THE OPERA, THE FINANCE COMMITTEE HAS ESTABLISHED A SPENDING RATE POLICY WHERE THE ENDOWMENT SHALL ANNUALLY DISTRIBUTE A PERCENTAGE OF THE 12-QUARTER ROLLING AVERAGE FAIR VALUE ENDING ON MARCH 30 OF THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. IN 2021, THE PERCENTAGE RATE USED WAS 5%. FOR FUNDS WITH DONOR-IMPOSED ASSET ALLOCATIONS OR DISTRIBUTIONS, THE DISTRIBUTIONS CONFORM TO THE DONOR'S EXPRESSED WISHES. THIS SPENDING RATE POLICY IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERA'S OBJECTIVE TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS HELD IN PERPETUITY OR FOR A SPECIFIED TERM AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NET GIFTS AND INVESTMENT RETURN. FINAL AUTHORIZATION OF THE APPROPRIATION BY THE BOARD OCCURS WHEN THE BUDGET IS APPROVED.
PART X, LINE 2:	LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THE OPERA IS EXEMPT FROM TAXATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND SECTION 23701D OF THE CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE AND IS GENERALLY NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES. HOWEVER, THE OPERA IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES ON ANY NET INCOME THAT IS DERIVED FROM A TRADE OR BUSINESS, REGULARLY CARRIED ON, AND NOT IN FURTHERANCE OF THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT WAS GRANTED EXEMPTION. NO INCOME TAX PROVISION FOR UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX WAS RECORDED AT JUNE 30, 2021 OR 2020.
