Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The internal revenue service has classified cnc as exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, and cnc is exempt from california state income taxes from the franchise tax board. Accounting standards require an organization to evaluate its tax positions and provide for a liability for any positions that would not be considered 'more likely than not' to be upheld under a tax authority examination. Management has evaluated its tax positions and has concluded that a provision for tax liability is not necessary at june 30, 2018. Generally, cnc's information returns remain open for examination for a period of three years (federal) or four years (state of california) from date of filing.”
