| Part I, Line 1a | The President and Vice President periodically fly first class and often use upgrades to do so. This is because officers frequently spend hours on a plane and immediately begin serving upon arrival at their destination. Since these expenditures are for ministry purposes, they are not treated as taxable compensation. As licensed ministers of the Gospel, the President, Vice President, and COO receive minister housing allowances which are appropriately excluded from treatment as taxable compensation. The President and Vice President receive personal services that are included in their taxable compensation. |
| Part I, Line 4b | The President and Vice President participated in a newly formed Rabbi Trust that was adopted by the organization. Payments for each of them was $50,000. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The organization requires the conflict of interest policy to be signed yearly by officer and board members and that conflicts are propertly documented and approved by the Board of Directors. Potential conflicts are normally identified by the Controller or COO and then brought to the independent members of the Board for review and approval. Any person with a conflict recuses his or herself from the decision making process. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The organization uses comparability data each year to determine compensation of all officers.
