Additional Explanations

FORM 990; PART XII; LINE 2C

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its finanicial statements and the selection of its independent accountant. This process has not changed during the year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a nonprofit corporation as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. As a result, no provision for income taxes is presented in these financial statements. However, in certain circumstances, the organization may be subject to federal and state income taxes for profits generated from unrelated trade or business income. The organization has determined that it does not have any liabilities associated with unrelated trade or business income. The organization assesses the recording of uncertain tax positions by evaluating the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized as a benefit in the financial statements. The organization's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, if any, in its statements of activities. The organization has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as of january 31, 2014 and 2013. The organization does not expect any material change in uncertain tax benefits within the next twelve months. As of january 31, 2014, the organization is not currently under examination by any taxing authorities and is generally open for examination for three years from the date of filing.”
