SMO files an informational return with the Internal Revenue Service. SMO is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to 2014. The Organization follows FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how an organization should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that an organization has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Management annually reviews its tax positions and has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017.”
