Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“Ccf recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax positions and assesses the likelihood,based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax positions is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions, if any, would be classified as additional income taxes in the statement of activities and functional expenses. Ccf did not identify any uncertain tax positions at december 31, 2016. Ccf is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any periods in progress.”
