 Dear all



We have been going over the Legal Memorandum conducted by Sydley and
Adler&Colvin dated May 3, and we have some (I believe easy) preliminary
questions to ask regarding the creation of an unincorporated SO/AC.



1.    It is stated in the report that the new association would have to
file a statement with the California Secretary of State indicating some
information, in order to establish a record with regulatory authorities of
the unincorporated association’s existence. The question is whether this
inscription in the record is subject to any fee, and if yes, the amount of
that fee.



2.    In addition, would this unincorporated SO/AC be subject to the
payment of any kind of taxes, duties, tariffs, charges, rates or tributes?
I guess that is not the case, since it would have no economic activity, but
just to be sure.



3.    Last, would the unincorporated SO/AC have any duties regarding
administrative burdens or periodic obligations, such as the handing over of
some kind of annual balance or activity report? In other words, are there
any legal obligations regarding the need to demonstrate that the
association is active?



May I kindly ask the legal team / Counsel to answer these questions?



Thank you and best regards,



Rafa
