Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a tax-exempt organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the code) and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to section 501(a) of the code. In addition, the internal revenue service has determined that the organization is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the code. The organization has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions and management has determined that the organization was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of june 30, 2014 and 2013. Federal and state tax and/or information returns of the organization are subject to examination by the internal revenue service and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after the returns were filed. Management believes that the organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years ended prior to june 30, 2011.”
