Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, Line 8

“The organization adopted the provisions of asc 326 as of july 1, 2023. The cummulative effect of this adoption for current expected credit loss (cecl) resulted a decrease in net assets in an amount of $232,967 which was adjusted to beginning net assets in this fiscal year. Prior fiscal year end 06/30/2023 had a contribution in advancement total $515,417. Upon further review, this amount was received in prior fiscal year and should be recognized as grants/contributions income in prior fiscal year, but it was recorded in liability section of balance sheet. This amount $515,417 was adjusted to net assets beginning balance. This adjustment resulted an increase in net assets beginning balance in an amount of $515,417. Based on these two adjustments, form 990, page 12, part xi, line 8, prior period adjustments should be $282,450; which was an increase in net assets.”
