Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from 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 in its financial statements 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.”
