Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization's management evaluates tax positions and recognizes a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. The organization's management has analyzed its tax positions, and has concluded that as of december 31, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition or disclosure. The organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examination for years prior to 2013.
