Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Each director and officer is asked to complete a conflict of interest policy disclosure statement upon his or her election to the board, and on an annual basis thereafter. These statements are provided to the executive committee, which review's them with eirp counsel if necessary.”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by the organization's accountant. Upon completion, the form 990 is then reviewed by the executive director. Upon completion of the executive director's review, the completed form 990 is then provided to all board members before submission to the internal revenue service.”

Pt VI, Line 15B

“The board of directors discusses and decides on the the executive director's and employees salaries on an annual basis based on performance and comparable executive and positional salaries.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The board of directors discusses and decides on the the executive director's and employees salaries on an annual basis based on performance and comparable executive and positional salaries.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“The organization has adopted "accounting for uncertainty in income taxes" as prescribed by the accounting standards codification which provides guidance for financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for open tax years (generally a period of three years from the later of each return's due date or the date filed) that remains subject to examination by the organization's major tax jurisdictions. Generally, the organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years ending after december 31, 2014. In accordance with "accounting for uncertainty in income taxes", the organization asssesses its tax positions and determines whether it has any material unrecognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The organization records these liabilities, when and if applicable, to the extent it deems them more likely than not to be incurred. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, would be classified as a component of income tax expense. Accordingly, no such loss contingencies have been recorded for the year ended december 31, 2017, as the organization believes that it does not have any significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or measurement in the accompanying financial statements.”
