        <ExplanationTxt>The organization's Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Germany and are audited by an independent German Auditor. Therefore, the company does not have any ASC 740-10 (Formerly FIN-48) disclosures. The Board of Directors of the organization engaged CURACON GMBH Wirtschaftspruefungsgesellschaft in Hannover to audit the books and annual financial statements of the organization for the year ending 31 December 2016, and notes to the annual financial statements in accordance with Section 317 et seq. of the German Commercial Code [Handelsgesetzbuch] (HGB), and issued financial reports and disclosure notes for the Foundation. The audit report has been compiled in compliance with the generally accepted auditing strandards issued by the German Institute for Public Auditors, Incorporated Association [IDW: Institut der Wirtschaftspruefer in Deutschland e.V.] (IDW), Duesseldorf (IDW PS 450). The scope of the auditor's engagement also covered the review and analysis of the maintenance of the Foundation's endowment capital and its compliance with the statutes under Section 6 of the German Endowments and Foundations Act of Lower Saxony (NStiftG), and the Foundation's charter. Purpose of the audit was to determine the use of the funds of the organization in accordance with purposes stated in the Foundation's statutes, the maintenance of the Foundation's assets and the internal control of management in such cases, where it was considered necessary due to potential material retroactive effects on accounting, or to the extent that indications of a breach or misstatements of such provisions emerged during the audit. The Foundation applies the accounting principles applicable for donation-collecting organizations (IDW RS HFA 21). According to the auditor's report, the Foundation's financial statements complied with the legal regulations as well as with the German generally accepted accounting principles applicable to donation-collecting foundations.</ExplanationTxt>
