“American seed research foundation has adipted the accounting of uncertainty in income taxes as required by the income taxes topic (topic 740) of the fasb accounting standards codification.

American seed reserach foundation is not aware of any tax positions for which it believes that there is a reasonable possiblity that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.”
