Identifier	Return Reference	Explanation
Regarding Controlled Entity	Form 990-PF page 4, Part VI-A, Line 11	The CCH tax software generates Statement 12 of the return and references same for Line 11, Part VI-A, on page 4 of Form 990-PF. The software is generating a diagnostic indicating that said Statement 12 is generated only for the paper return and not for the electronic return due to there being no provision in the IRS electronic filing schema to prepare the schedule of controlled entities per the Form 990-PF instructions. The diagnostic recommends preparing a general explanation attachment for the required information for said Line 11, which is the reason for this general explanation attachment. The required information for said Line 11 is as follows:The Foundation owns approximately 32.93% of Gables Engineering, Inc., a Florida corporation, that operates an engineering/ aircraft parts manufacturing business and has one class of stock. It is a controlled entity under IRC s. 512(b)(13) due to attribution via IRC s. 318. The Foundation received the stock as a bequest on August 11, 2020 from the Victor E. Clarke Declaration of Trust, EIN: 46-7152621. The Foundation still held the stock on December 31, 2023. The stock appears near the middle of the page on the first page of Statement 8. The permitted holdings under IRC s. 4943(c)(2) are 0% because disqualified persons own more than 20% of the stock. The Foundation's stock holdings in the controlled entity are not excess business holdings because of the 5-year rule under IRC s. 4943(c)(6)(A). The name, address, and EIN of the controlled entity are as follows:Gables Engineering, Inc.247 Greco AvenueCoral Gables, FL 33146EIN: 59-0561349
