Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The organization has an audit committee.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Ajp is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the united states internal revenue code and is recognized as such by the internal revenue service. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america provide guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Ajp performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of december 31, 2019, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. It is ajp's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. The 2019 tax return is open to inspection by taxing authorities.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0AJP IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS RECOGNIZED AS SUCH BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRESCRIBE A THRESHOLD OF "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" FOR RECOGNITION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN. AJP PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019, AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR WHICH MAY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. IT IS AJP'S POLICY TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND/OR PENALTIES RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, IF ANY, IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE. THE 2019 TAX RETURN IS OPEN TO INSPECTION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES.
