“Subsequent to the preparation of the 2020 form 990, management determined that amounts initially recognized as in-kind contributions of goods and inventory at december 31, 2020 of 258,136 provided no value in accordance with the organization's mission. As such, inventory and net assets were overstated at year-end in the 2020 return in comparison to the audited financial statements. Additionally in the year ended december 31, 2021, management determined that intangible assets capitalized in the year ended december 31, 2020 were recognized eroneously. The adjustment recognized an additional 49,760 of expense in the year then ended, thus decreasing net assets in the same amount at december 31, 2021.”
