Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Company is exempt from the federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income (if any) from certain activities not directly related to the Company's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. All significant tax positions have been considered by management and it has been determined that it is more likely than not that all tax positions would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company is required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) up to three (3) years from the extended due date of the tax return. The Form 990 for 2013 through 2015 are open to examination by the IRS as of December 31, 2016. In 2014, the Company filed an extension for it's 2016 IRS Form 990 extending the due date of the return until November 15, 2017”

Part XI, Line 2D - Other Adjustments:
