Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Trust by a letter dated June 10, 1998, that the Trust is tax exempt under section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Trust's management and the Trust's tax counsel believe that the Trust is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Trust management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Trust and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Trust has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed tax positions taken by the Trust, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Trust is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2013.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Trust by a letter dated June 10, 1998, that the Trust is tax exempt under section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Trust's management and the Trust's tax counsel believe that the Trust is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Trust management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Trust and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Trust has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed tax positions taken by the Trust, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Trust is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2013.
