The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 1A

FIRST CLASS TRAVEL: ONE BOARD MEMBER TRAVELED VIA A FIRST-CLASS TRAIN TICKET TWO TIMES FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. THE TRIPS WERE APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. FOUR BOARD MEMBERS TRAVELED VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES FOR FIVE TOTAL FLIGHTS. ALL FLIGHTS WERE APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. ONE KEY EMPLOYEE TRAVELED VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES FOR TWO TOTAL FLIGHTS. ALL FLIGHTS WERE APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. FOUR BOARD MEMBERS HAD FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TRAVELED VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR A TOTAL OF FIVE FLIGHTS. ONE KEY EMPLOYEE HAD A FAMILY MEMBER WHO TRAVELED VIA FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE FOR ONE FLIGHT. ALL FIRST-CLASS FLIGHTS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS WERE APPROVED BY MANAGEMENT. CHARTER TRAVEL (MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT, OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION, AND CHARTER TRIPS): SAMARITAN'S PURSE PROVIDES CHARTER TRAVEL VIA THE USE OF MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT BASED IN KENYA, LIBERIA, UGANDA, AND THE UNITED STATES (ALASKA AND NORTH CAROLINA), TO PERFORM ITS EVANGELISM AND RELIEF PROGRAMS; AS WELL AS CHARTER FLIGHTS PROVIDED BY OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION MINISTRIES OR PRIVATE CHARTERS TO CARRY OUT RELIEF AND MINISTRY PROGRAMS. THESE AIRCRAFT TRANSPORT LISTED PERSONS, AND OTHER PERSONS, IN PERFORMANCE OF MINISTRY PROGRAMS, OFTEN IN AREAS NOT SERVED BY COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORTATION. ANY PERSONAL USE AND THE RELATED BENEFIT AMOUNT WAS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION PER IRS REGULATIONS. LISTED PERSONS FLOWN ON CHARTER FLIGHTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: EIGHT BOARD MEMBERS, TWO OFFICERS, THREE KEY EMPLOYEES, AND ONE FORMER KEY EMPLOYEE TRAVELED IN MINISTRY-OWNED OR CHARTERED AIRCRAFT FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. PORTIONS OF THREE BOARD MEMBERS', AND ONE OFFICERS' TRIPS WERE PERSONAL. VALUE OF TRAVEL EXPENSES WERE IMPUTED TO AND REPORTED AS TAXABLE INCOME. TRAVEL FOR GUEST(S), SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S): AS A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, WE BELIEVE THAT GOD INSTITUTED MONOGAMOUS MARRIAGE, BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE AS THE FOUNDATION OF THE FAMILY AND THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF HUMAN SOCIETY. FOR THIS REASON, WE BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE IS EXCLUSIVELY THE UNION OF ONE GENETIC MALE AND ONE GENETIC FEMALE (GENESIS 2:24, MATTHEW 19:5-6, MARK 10:6-9, ROMANS 1:26-27, 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9). WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY PROVIDE A MEANS TO GLORIFY AND SERVE GOD. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE IS DISPLAYED THROUGH THE SCRIPTURAL COMPARISON OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE CHURCH (EPHESIANS 5:22-27, REVELATION 21:2, 21:9). SAMARITAN'S PURSE ACKNOWLEDGES THE UNIQUE, DISTINCT, AND ELEVATED ROLE OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY, AND WE DESIRE TO AFFIRM GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY AS IT PERTAINS TO CARRYING OUT OUR MISSION AND MINISTRY (MATTHEW 5:14-16). THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FURTHER RECOGNIZES THAT SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OFTEN PASSIONATE AMBASSADORS AND MINISTRY PARTNERS WHOSE FAMILIARITY, SUPPORT, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT CAN EXPAND THE IMPACT OF OUR MISSION AND PURPOSES OF FURTHERING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (ACTS 1:8). MANAGEMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO ACTIVELY CULTIVATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF SPOUSES AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OF BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF IN MINISTRY ACTIVITY, THROUGH VOLUNTEER SERVICES, TRAINING, DISCIPLESHIP, PRAYER, SHARING THE STORY OF OUR WORK, DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER MINISTRY ACTIVITIES. LISTED PERSONS WITH TRAVEL BY A GUEST, SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) WERE AS FOLLOWS: SIX BOARD MEMBERS, TWO OFFICERS, TWO KEY EMPLOYEES, AND ONE HIGHER COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE HAD TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. TRAVEL BY A SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) WAS EITHER FOR VOLUNTEERING ON MINISTRY PROJECTS OR FOR DUTIES RELATED TO THEIR EMPLOYMENT. THE VOLUNTEER-RELATED TRAVEL RESULTED IN MINIMAL, IF ANY, ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO THE MINISTRY. THREE BOARD MEMBERS AND ONE OFFICER HAD TRAVEL BY A GUEST, SPOUSE AND/OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER(S) NOT ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED A POLICY REGARDING THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S TRAVEL FOR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT INCLUDES REPORTING ANY PERSONAL USE AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ALSO, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ESTABLISHED A GUIDELINE ON THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO FOR PERSONAL USE. TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS: FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A POLICY WHERE QUALIFYING EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY SERVED THE MINISTRY FOR FORTY YEARS, WILL RECEIVE COMPLIMENTARY MEALS IN THE DINING ROOMS OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE UNTIL RETIREMENT. THE VALUE OF THESE MEALS IS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION AND INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS COMPENSATION REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED A GUIDELINE ON THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE INCURRED ANNUALLY PER EMPLOYEE. THREE EMPLOYEE/BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVED TAXABLE BENEFIT GROSS-UP PAYMENTS PERTAINING TO THE FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD. PERSONAL SERVICES: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A POLICY THAT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE AND BOOKKEEPING SERVICES TO THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE VALUE OF THESE SERVICES IS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION AND INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS COMPENSATION REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
