Financial Statement Notes

Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)

“The company accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax position based on a more likely than not threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a cumulative probability assessment that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties assessed, if any, are accrued as income tax expense.pst has identified its status as a tax exempt entity as its only tax position and has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. Prompt is not currently under examination.”
