Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

“Net assets from merger with la crosse area convention and visitors bureau 371,208.”

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“This is the intial return and the process has not changed.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“U.s. Gaap requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the organizations and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organizations have taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organizations, and has concluded that as of december 31, 2016, 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. The organizations are subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The organizations will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0U.S. GAAP REQUIRES MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATIONS AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY (OR ASSET) IF THE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATIONS, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016, 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. THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. THE ORGANIZATIONS WILL RECOGNIZE FUTURE ACCRUED INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE IF INCURRED.
