Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Current accounting standards require recognition in the statement of financial position for any uncertain tax positions. The threshold for recognizing tax return positions is defined as "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. In the opinion of management, the application of these standards results in no impact on the financial statements of sga.”
