“Members of the board of directors review all potential conflicts of interest at least annually. The executive director and all board members are required to disclose (in writing) potential conflicts and any related party affiliations. Loans between the organization and members of management and the board are strictly prohibited. The organization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, EICC is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by EICC and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that EICC has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018 EICC does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.EICC has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. This exemption is subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that EICC continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. EICC may periodically receive unrelated business income requiring EICC to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, EICC calculates and accrues the applicable taxes payable.”

Part XI, Line 4B: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/S

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, EICC is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by EICC and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that EICC has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018 EICC does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.EICC has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. This exemption is subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that EICC continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. EICC may periodically receive unrelated business income requiring EICC to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, EICC calculates and accrues the applicable taxes payable.
