Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“Ceos is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is, therefore not subject to tax under present income tax laws.ceos' income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Ceos' open audit periods are 2011 through 2014. In evaluating ceos' activities, management believes its position of tax-exempt status is based on current facts and circumstances and there have been no uncertain positions taken related to recording income taxes. Management has assessed that there are no activities unrelated to the purpose of ceos and therefore no tax is to be recognized.”
