Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization has adopted accounting rules that prescribe when to recognize, and how to measure, the financial statement effects of income tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its income tax returns. These rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained. Based on that evaluation, the Organization only recognizes the maximum benefit of each income tax position that is more than 50% likely of being sustained. To the extent that all or a portion of the benefits of an income tax position are not recognized, a liability would be recognized for the unrecognized benefits, along with any interest and penalties that would result from disallowance of the position. Should any such penalties and interest be incurred, they would be recognized as operating expenses. Based on its review, management does not believe the Organization has taken any material uncertain tax positions, including any position that would place the Organization's exempt status in jeopardy as of December 31, 2019. The Organization's information returns (Form 990) are open to examination by the IRS, generally, for three years after they were filed or the due date of the return, whichever is later.”

Part XI, Line 2D: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990

“Bad debt losses $-2223 gain on currency translation $90495”
