Explanation

SCHEDULE G, PART IV

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS YEAR 19,871 OF REVENUE COLLECTED AT OUR FUNDRAISING EVENTS WAS ADDED DIRECTLY INTO CONTRIBUTIONS ON PG. 1, LINE 8 AND SUBTRACTED FROM FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES ON SCH. G. THE SMALL LOSS SHOWN ON SCH. G, PG. 2 ONLY REPRESENTS THE VALUE OF THE GOODS WE PROVIDED AT THE EVENTS LESS OUR COST TO PROVIDE THEM. WE BELIEVE THIS INTERPRETATION OF THE TAX FORM IS CORRECT, ALTHOUGH IN PRIOR YEARS WE DID NOT MOVE AS MUCH OF THE REVENUE INTO CONTRIBUTIONS. A COMPARISON TO PRIOR YEARS WOULD BE MISLEADING.
