Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The entity accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a more likely than not threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under examination by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefits are estimated based on the cumulative probability assessment that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Tax positions for the entity include, but are not limited to, the tax-exempt status and determination of whether income is subject to unrelated business income tax. Based on its evaluation, the entity has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The entity's evaluation was performed for tax years ended december 31, 2018 through december 31, 2021, for federal income tax, the years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdictions as of december 31, 2021.”
