Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part IV, Line 2B

“Cesi offers debt management programs to assist clients in paying their unsecured debts funds recieved from clients participating in the debt management program are deposited into various depository accounts and in to a separate for the benefit of other account (the "fbo account") on a daily basis. Funds residing in the fbo accounts are disbursed to cesi's operating account as contributions made to cesi by creditors and/or clients. Certain states require that clients funds be held in a depository account within that state until the respecticve creditors are paid. In this situation creditors are paid from monies from this state's depository account. Interest income earned on funds held in the various restricted accounts is used to pay for bank fees and other expenses. Cesi is responsible for any excess expense arising from the activities of these accounts.”

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Cesi has adopted the provisions of fasb asx 740-10-25, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Under this provision, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax provisions for the tax return purposes when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained. The implementation of this standard has had no impact on cesi's financial statement. Currently, the 2014, 2015, and 2016 tax years are open and subject to examination by the taxing authorities. Cesi does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it has not recognized any liabilities for the unrecognized tax benefit.”
