Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Wef follows the financial accounting standards board accounting standards codification (fasb asc), which provides guidance on accounting for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions that might be recognized in wef's financial statements. Examples of potentially uncertain tax positions include the tax-exempt status of wef and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business income tax (ubit). As of december 31, 2013, wef had no uncertain tax positions in its information returns that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits in its financial statements. Wef's policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to any unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year ended december 31, 2013. Wef's forms 990, return of organization exempt from income tax, that have been filed as of december 31, 2013, for fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010 are subject to examination by the internal revenue service, generally for three years after they were filed.
