Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“There were no changes on the organization's process.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization has received tax-exempt status from the internal revenue service and the franchise tax board under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and under revenue and taxation code section 23701d, respectively. Since the organization is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income taxes. The organization uses the same accounting methods for tax and financial reporting. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The organization's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed.”
