Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“NOTE 4 INCOME TAXESCSI is exempt from income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3); consequently, no provision or liability for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements.CSI has adopted provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes which prescribes when to recognize and how to measure the financial statement effects, if any, of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its income tax returns, including the position that CSI continues to qualify to be treated as a tax-exempt entity for both federal and state income tax purposes. These rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained.CSI undergoes an annual analysis of its various tax positions, assessing the likelihood of those positions being upheld upon examination with relevant tax authorities, as defined by ASC 740-10. Management does not believe there to be any uncertain tax positions and has thus not recorded any related provision.CSIs tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed. As of December 31, 2022, the tax returns open for examination under applicable statutes were 2019 through 2021.”
