Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Income taxes the school is a tax-exempt organization pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Although the school was granted income tax exemption by the internal revenue service, such exemption does not apply to "unrelated business taxable income". There was no unrelated business taxable income during the year. The school files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction, which are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before june 30, 2019. Management believes that all positions taken on such returns are supportable.”
