Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

The Organization is a not-for-profit corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the Organization will not incur any liability for federal income taxes on exempt activities; unrelated business activities were not conducted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Organization files Federal Form 990. With few exceptions, the Organization is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014. It is difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Management does not currently anticipate significant changes in its uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months.
