Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 1:

The 2017 form 990 erroneously stated that the organization was on the cash basis of accounting. The organization was and is still on the accrual basis of accounting. This presentation error has been corrected on the current year form 990.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is a nonprofit entity as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from income taxes. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. The organization is not aware of any activities that would jeopardizes its tax-exempt status, nor is it aware of any of its 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. The organization's income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal authorities.
