Financial Statement Notes

PART IV, LINE 1B:

Explanation: celj is court appointed guardian for approximately 111 wards and has bank accounts opened in the name of the ward with celj listed as the guardian of the account. Celj is also a trustee, along with people inc. And key bank, of the western new york coalition of trusts.

The organization holds funds for clients that represent prepayments of legal services. As such, a corresponding liability is recognized for the amount of funds held on the clients' behalf.

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the code), therefore, no provision for income taxes is reflected in the financial statements. The organization has been classified as a publicly supported organization that is not a private foundation under section 509(a) of the code. The organization presently discloses or recognizes income tax positions based on management's estimate of whether it is reasonably possible or probable that a liability has been incurred for unrecognized income taxes. Management has concluded that the organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment in its financial statements. U.s. Forms 990 filed by the organization are subject to examination by taxing authorities.
