| Explanation | AS A RESULT OF ITS EXEMPTION FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED IN THESE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE CENTER DID NOT ENGAGE IN ANY UNRELATED BUSINESS OR LOBBYING ACTIVITIES FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2018 AND 2017. AN ORGANIZATION IS REQUIRED TO RECORD A LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WHEN IT IS PROBABLE THAT A TAX POSITION WOULD NOT BE UPHELD UNDER EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND THE AMOUNT CAN BE REASONABLY ESTIMATED. TAX POSITIONS TAKEN RELATED TO THE CENTER'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED, AND MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT MATERIAL POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION WOULD, MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. ACCORDINGLY, AN INCOME TAX LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX BENEFITS HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED AS OF APRIL 30, 2018 AND 2017, AND THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT ANTICIPATE A MATERIAL CHANGE IN ITS UNCERTAIN TAX BENEFITS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS FOLLOWING APRIL 30, 2018 AND 2017. | ExplanationTxt |
