SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Revenue Recoscnition

The Corporation records unconditional promises to give as receivables and revenues and classifies contributions received within net assets categories according to donor-imposed restrictions. When a donor restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. However, restricted contributions whose restrictions expire or are otherwise satisfied within the period of receipt are reported as unrestricted revenues in the statements of activities. Parade Revenue

Parade revenue includes the charges for registration fee, floats, vehicle permits and admission tickets for marching participants. .

Functional Expenses Allocation The costs of providing the Corporation's programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services that are benefited.

Income Taxes The Corporation is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The Corporation has evaluated the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Corporation has not recorded

any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31,2015.

The Corporation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
