Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Line 20 reflects timing differences and adjustments to reconcile revenue and expense reporting with actual year-end cash balance, resulting in ending net assets of $4,994 as confirmed by bank statement. Our organization experienced administrative difficulties during the fiscal year due to turnover and delays with our bookkeeper. Unfortunately, this caused our Form 990-EZ for the year ending April 30, 2024, to be filed later than required. The late filing was not intentional, and the organization has always sought to remain in good standing with the IRS. We have since taken corrective action by changing bookkeeping arrangements and taking personal responsibility for timely reporting. Going forward, we have put procedures in place to ensure that all future filings will be submitted on time. We respectfully request that any penalties be waived due to reasonable cause.
