Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The corporation evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in their tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, along with accrued interest and penalties thereon, would be recorded as an expense in the current year financial statements. The corporation has evaluated the tax positions expected to be taken in its fiscal year 2017 returns and believe they are more-likely-than-not of being sustained if examined by federal or state tax authorities. The corporation's fiscal year 2015-2016 tax year remains subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.”
