Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by ULC and recognize a tax liability if ULC has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by ULC and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. ULC is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. ULC's returns are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
