Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

The board assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audited financial statements and the selection of the independent cpa firm who prepares the organization's financial statements.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization has adopted the provisions of fasb accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The standard provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. The organization is required to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position unless it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Any interest and penalties recognized associated with a tax position would be classified as component of income tax expense in the organizations financial statements. As of june 30, 2015, management believes that the organization continues to satisfy the requirements of a tax exempt organization and therefore had no uncertain income tax positions.
