RE: IRS 990 PENALTY RELIEFI, VAL STASIK, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR FOUNTAIN HILLS THEATER, INC. DO DECLARE THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS STATEMENT IS MADE UNDER PENALTIES OF PERJURY, SETTING FORTH ALL THE FACTS ALLEGED AS REASONABLE CAUSE. SINCE 1987, FOUNTAIN HILLS THEATER HAS NEVER FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE TIMELINES SET BY THE IRS AND WE HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT PRIDE IN PUNCTUALITY AND THOROUGHNESS. THE LATE FILING FOR THIS YEARS' RETURN WAS NOT DONE DUE TO RECKLESSNESS OR WILLFUL NEGLECT AND IS THE ONLY TIME IN 37 YEARS THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT WAS CONTRACTED AND YEAR END INFORMATION SUBMITTED IN OCTOBER 2023. SIMULTANEOUSLY A SEPARATE FIRM WAS CONTRACTED TO DO AN AUDITED REVIEW AS REQUIRED BY SOME GRANTORS. ON NOVEMBER 9, 2023, WE FILED FOR AN EXTENSION. DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD, DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, OUR PART TIME BOOKKEEPER POSITION UNDERWENT CHANGES. IN MARCH 2022 MARYANN MOVED OUT OF STATE. IN APRIL 2022 WE HIRED GIL, WHO RETIRED IN FEBRUARY 2024 AND WAS REPLACED BY DEBBI. BOTH GIL AND DEBBI HAVE BEEN THE CONTACT FOR OUR ACCOUNTANTS AND THIS LED TO SOME COMMUNICATION GAPS. IN MARCH, THE ACCOUNTANTS HAD FURTHER QUESTIONS AND WERE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE AUDITED REVIEW. HOWEVER, BY THEN THE EXTENSION DEADLINE HAD PASSED AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO COMPLETE THE 990 IN A TIMELY MANNER. ALL OTHER REQUIRED BUSINESS, SUCH AS CORPORATE COMMISSION REPORTS, CDP'S, INSURANCE, PAYROLL ETC. HAS BEEN CONDUCTED PROFESSIONALLY AND ON TIME. AS OF JUNE 30, 2024, WE WILL HAVE COMPLETED FISCAL YEAR 2023/24 AND THE CYCLE BEGINS AGAIN. TO AVOID THIS ISSUE IN THE FUTURE OUR STAFF IS PREPARED TO CLOSE THE YEAR END BOOKS, CONTRACT EARLY WITH THE ACCOUNTANT, AND PROVIDE CONSISTENCY IN COMMUNICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF OUR REQUEST TO PROVIDE PENALTY RELIEF. SINCERELY,VAL STASIKPRESIDENT, FHT BOD(602)616-6008VSTASIK@COX.NET
