The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the officers of peer. The entire board received a copy of the 990 prior to filing the return.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

A board member or officer who at any time believes that he or she has, or may have, a conflict of interest immediately discloses the existence and nature of such conflict to the board of directors and to the members of considering a proposed transaction or issue.After disclosure of the actual or possible conflict of interest, the board member leaves the board meeting while the conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board members decide if a conflict of interest exists. If the Board determines that a conflict of interest exists, or may exist, the affected board member abstains from any action related, in any fashion, to the interest and recuses himself or herself from any portion of any proceedings at which action is considered or taken regarding the interest. Any doubt regarding whether a conflict of interest exists is resolved in factor of disclosure, abstention and absence.
