Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Spark is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by Spark and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Spark has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of June 30,2019 Spark does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Spark has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that Spark continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Spark may periodically receive unrelated business income (such as sublease rental income) requiring Spark to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, Spark calculates and accrues the applicable taxes.
