Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part XII, Line 2C Explanation

The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit and its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process did not change from the prior year.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

As of august 31, 2016, management believes that based on evaluation of sfer's tax positions that any liability as a result of uncertain tax positions would not be material. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings to assist in evaluating sfer's tax positions. Accrued interest and pentalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, would be recognized as part of the income tax provision. Income tax returns are filed in the u.s.federal jurisdiction and state jurisdictions. Sfer is subject to examination by applicable tax jurisdictions since inception in 2013.
