Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the organization's exempt status.

CEE is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes that it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.
