LiquidationExplanationStmt/ExplanationTxt0I, KRISH KRISHNAN, DIRECTOR AND PRESIDENT OF LIGHT MATTERS FOUNDATION, AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF VOLUNTARY DISSOLVING THE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 507(A)(1). IN RECENT YEARS, IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT FOR THE FOUNDATION TO OBTAIN FUNDING FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS OR GENERAL PUBLIC, WHICH ULTIMATELY LED TO MY DECISION TO DISSOLVE THE FOUNDATION. THE FOUNDATION HAS DISTRIBUTED ALL ITS ASSETS TO PUBLIC CHARITIES WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS AND IT HAS NOT ASSET REMAINING. WE ARE ATTACHING WITH THE FINAL TAX RETURN OUR LAST BANK STATEMENT SHOWING A CASH BALANCE OF JUST 0.77.
