<ExplanationTxt>The Organization is a nonprofit organization described in Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from Federal and State income taxes. The Organization has analyzed filing positions with the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Minnesota. The Organization is subject to routine audits by these jurisdictions; however, the Organization is currently not under any audits for any tax periods. The Organization does not anticipate any of its income tax filing positions would result in a material adverse effect on the Organization's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions. As allowed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Organization would accrue, if applicable, income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the Organization's statement of activities. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Organization did not recognize any interest or penalties. With few exceptions, the Organization is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.</ExplanationTxt>
