Explanation

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX LIABILITIES REPORTED ON THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNDER FIN 48 (ASC 740-10). ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN PROVIDED IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, IF ANY, MAY BE SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX. THE ORGANIZATION PAID NO TAXES ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME IN THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES REQUIRE THE RECOGNITION, MEASUREMENT, CLASSIFICATION, AND DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO TAKEN IN THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX RETURNS. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND ASSOCIATED UNRECOGNIZED BENEFITS THAT MATERIALLY IMPACT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR RELATED DISCLOSURES. SINCE TAX MATTERS ARE SUBJECT TO SOME DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX RETURNS WILL NOT BE CHALLENGED BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES AND THAT THE ORGANIZATION WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL TAX, PENALTIES, AND INTEREST AS A RESULT OF SUCH CHALLENGE.
