Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Fierf is exempt from federal income taxes as a not-for-profit corporation under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (irc). On november 9, 1970, the internal revenue service (irs) issued an additional determination letter classifying fierf as an organization that is not a private foundation, as defined in section 509(a) of the irc. On may 10, 2001, the irs issued another determination letter classifying fierf as a supporting organization of forging industry association as defined in section 509(a)(3) of the irc. Fierf follows fasb asc 740-10, "income taxes," which prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements, and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition issues. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the accompanying financial statements.”
