THE ORGANIZATION HAS SUBMITTED ITS PREVIOUS 990 FILINGS IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACTED ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE AND CREATED MANY UNCERTAINTIES AND CHALLENGES. ALTHOUGH WCST EXERCISED ORDINARY BUSINESS CARE AND PRUDENCE AND MADE A GOOD-FAITH EFFORT TO MEET THEIR TAX DEADLINES, WE WERE UNABLE TO DO SO DUE TO COVID-19 IMPACTS. IN ADDITION TO COVID-1I, WCST WAS IN A FEDERALLY DECLARED DISATER ZONE AT THIS TIME DUE TO RAGING WILDFIRES. THE OFFICES WERE CLOSED OR LIMITED DUE TO THE STRICT OREGON COVID-19 MANDATES THAT SHUT DOWN OFFICES IN GRANTS PASS, OREGON FOR MOST OF 2020 PLUS THE FIRES AND SMOKE DANGER COMBINED WAS A KEY FACTOR THAT KEPT THE ASSOCIATION FROM FILING TIMELY. ADDITIONALLY, WCST ENGAGED ITS THIRD CPA FIRM IN THREE YEARS DURING COVID-19 TO PREPARE ITS TAX RETURNS AND REASONABLE RELIED ON THAT FIRM TO TIMELY COMPLETE THE RETURNS. HOWEVER, DUE TO COVID-19 IMPACTS, THE FIRM WAS UNABLE TO FILE THE TAXPAYER'S RETURN BY THE DUE DATE. THE DELAY WAS CAUSED BY OFFICE SHUTDOWNS, STAFFINGIN ISSUES RELATED TO HEALTH, WELLBEING AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILTIIES, AND THE ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES PUT ON THE FIRM TO ASSIST CLIENTS WITH NEW TAX LEGISLATINO FROM THE FAMILIES FIRST CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE ACT AND THE CORNAVIRUS AID RELIEFT AND ECONOMIC SECURITY (CARES) ACT. THE FIRM DID NOT INFORM WCST THAT THE FILING WOULD NOT BE SUBMITTED BY THE REQUIRED DEADLINE, AS SOON AS WCST MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS BECAME AWARE OF THE SITUATION THEY IMMEDIATELY BEGAN WORKING ON A MITIGATION PLAN TO BRING THE ORGANIZATION UP TO DATE ON ITS FILINGS AND TO SECURE A NEW CPA FIRM. THE ORGANIZATION IS WORKING THROUGH ITS MITIGATION PLAN AND GETTING THE PAST DUE FILINGS SUBMITTED AND ENSURING GOOD COMMUNICATION CHANNELS ARE IN PLACE BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE BOARD TREASURER AND THE NEW CPA FIRM TO ENSURE ALL FILINGS ARE SUBMITTING ON A TIMELY BASIS GOING FORWARD.
