        <ExplanationTxt>Accounting standards provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an entity's financial statements. Under these accounting standards, an entity is required to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination. Management has evaluated its significant tax positions against the criteria established by these accounting standards and believes there are no such tax positions requiring accounting recognition. The Organization's federal and state tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014.</ExplanationTxt>
