Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code as a charitable organization whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by section 509(a)(1) of the code, is subject to federal income tax. The organization does not have any unrelated business income tax. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. The organization recorded no assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. The organization has implemented accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america ("u.s. Gaap"). This standard describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognizing, interest, penalties and disclosure required. Management of the organization evaluates the uncertain tax positions taken, if any, and consults with outside counsel as deemed necessary. The organization recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities in income tax expense.”
