Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Other or change in accounting method Part XII line 1

“In fiscal year 2020, the modified cash basis of accounting was adopted, as revenue was recorded for tickets sold to the 2020 fund raising event. Due to covid, the event was canceled, and tickets sold became valid for the 2021 event. Related revenue was recorded in fiscal year 2020 (the year the tickets were sold), rather than as deferred revenue. In addition, noncash prize items that were purchased for the fundraising dinner event, were recorded as an expense at the time of purchase, rather than as inventory. These items are to be held for use in the fiscal year 2022 dinner event.”
