        <ExplanationTxt>The Organization accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition threshold of more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold is met. Management has determined that there were no tax uncertainties that met the recognition threshold at the statement of financial position date and no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits have been recognized in the Organization's financial statements. The Organization timely files federal Form 990 annually and New York State annual reports as required. The Organization's filing years prior to August 31, 2014 are no longer subject to examination. No returns or registrations are presently under examination by the relevant authorities.</ExplanationTxt>
