Part X, Line 2:The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization follows standards that provide clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Organization's financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The Organization's policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. No interest and penalties were recorded during the years ended 2017 and 2016. At August 31, 2017 and 2016, there are no significant income tax uncertainties.
