Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting standards provide guidance for how certain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the commission's information returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit and asset or expense and liability in the current year. The commission files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and illinois state jurisdiction. As of and for the year ended june 30, 2018, management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions.”
