Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“As of june 30, 2014, management believes that based on an evaluation of the organizations tax positions that liability as a result of uncertain tax positions would not be material. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings to assist in evaluating the organizations tax positions. Accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, would be recognized as part of the income tax provision. Income tax returns are filed in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction, and state jurisdictions. There were no u.s. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2009.”
