“The officers of phoebe ministries devote their time to each organization in the group (see schedule r). However, the time needed for each organization varies widely from week to week, month to month, etc., and consequently, it would be extremely difficult to provide an accurate analysis of the approximate time devoted to each entity. Phoebe ministries prefers not to provide information that it cannot substantiate and therefore will list 40 hours per week for each of its officers as an alternative to reporting hours worked for related organizations.”
