Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a non-profit entity as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. The organization is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status or any activities that are subject to tax on unrelated business income taxes. The organization follows the guidance in the income tax standard regarding the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements. The guidance further prescribes recognition and measurement of tax provisions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The application of this standard had no impact on the organization's financial statements.”
