Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Effective january 1, 2009 the organization adopted asc topic 740-10, accounting for uncertainty of income taxes, which prescribes a recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more- likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. With few exceptions, the tax returns essentially remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns. For the year ended december 31, 2016, the organization has no material uncertain tax positions to be accounted for in the financial statements under the new rules. The organization recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to the unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense.”
