Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The processes for the governing board overseeing the annual audit and selecting an independent accountant has not changed from previous years.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management of cfl to evaluate tax positions taken by cfl and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if cfl has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. Cfl has analyzed its tax positions taken and has concluded that as of july 31, 2025, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. Cfl believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2022.”
