“When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying statement of financial position, along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of activities. There was no interest and penalties at year-end june 30, 2014 and 2013”

“The center is a non-profit organization which is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. The standards require an assessment of the center's exposure to income taxes at the entity level as a result of uncertain tax positions taken in current and previously filed tax returns. Examples of tax positions taken at the entity level include the continuing validity of its 501(c)(3) status, potential unrelated business activities and other tax positions that could result in income taxes to the center upon examinations by taxing authorities. Any tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions that are in excess of a realization threshold would be recorded as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements, along with any associated interest and penalties. Presently, management believes that it is more likely than not that its tax positions will be sustained upon examination, including any appeals and litigation, and therefore believes that the center has no exposure to income taxes from uncertain tax positions.”
