        <Explanation>THE PRIOR YEAR TOTAL LIABILITIES HAVE BEEN RESTATED. THE AMOUNT AS PREVIOUSLY FILED WAS $677,671 AND HAS BEEN RESTATED TO $1,033,683. THIS HAS CHANGED THE NET ASSETS FROM $7,190,193 TO $6,834,181, A DIFFERENCE OF $356,012. PRIOR YEAR'S DEFERRED REVENUE, UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS, AND PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS HAVE ALL BEEN RESTATED FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. DEFERRED REVENUE WAS STATED AT $433,897 AND HAS BEEN RESTATED TO $789,909, A DIFFERENCE OF $356,012. UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS HAVE BEEN RESTATED FROM $5,604,188 TO $6,156,269, A DIFFERENCE OF $522,081. TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS HAVE BEEN RESTATED FROM $1,131,151 TO $220,684, A DIFFERENCE OF $910,467. PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS HAVE BEEN RESTATED FROM $454,854 TO $457,228, A DIFFERENCE OF $2,374. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESTATEMENT IS TO PROPERLY RECLASSIFY $356,012 OF NET ASSETS AS DEFERRED REVENUE. PART V OF SCHEDULE D REQUIRES A RESTATEMENT FOR THE PRIOR YEAR'S END OF THE YEAR BALANCE. PRIOR YEAR'S ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ARE TO BE RESTATED TO $901,206 INSTEAD OF $0. THIS CHANGES THE ENDING BALANCE TO $684,799.</Explanation>
