        <ExplanationTxt>The Ellis School of Atlanta, Inc. is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the School is not required to pay federal taxes on income, and contributions to the School to qualify for the charitable contributions deduction to the extent provided by Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the School to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the School. Management believes that the School has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. Management is not aware of any circumstances or transactions that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status.</ExplanationTxt>
