Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Zara aina complies with the provisions of asc 740, income taxes. Asc 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on zara aina's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Zara aina has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. Zara aina's forms 990, return of organization exempt for income tax, for the years ended december 31, 2013, and 2014 are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.
