Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

The form 990 was prepared by an independent cpa and reviewed by the cfo prior to filing with the internal revenue service. The form 990 is disseminated to board members thereafter.

Polaris has a detailed ethics and conflict of interest policy described in its organizational policy manual. It was last updated by the board of directors in 2009. Board bylaws were last updated in 2014. Procedures include the duty to disclose, determine whether a conflict of interest exists, and addressing any real or potential conflicts. Polaris implements this practice before every significant discussion and board vote. An interested person is expected to disclose conflicts in all other situations. If a conflict or perceived conflict of interest occurs, the interested person recuses himself/herself from voting on the related matter.

Pt VI, Line 15A
