Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

Generally accepted accounting principles require tax effects from an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the more-likely-than-not threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The center's primary tax positions relate to its status as a not-for-profit entity exempt from income taxes and classification of activities related to its exempt purpose. The center has analyzed its tax positions taken for filings with the internal revenue service. It believes that its filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The center's tax years for 2015, 2016 and 2017 are subject to examination by the internal revenue service as of june 30, 2018.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES REQUIRE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION TO BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ONLY IF THE POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. IF AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION MEETS THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD, THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF TAX BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY TO BE RECOGNIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WITH THE TAXING AUTHORITY IS RECORDED. THE CENTER'S PRIMARY TAX POSITIONS RELATE TO ITS STATUS AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITY EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES AND CLASSIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES RELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE. THE CENTER HAS ANALYZED ITS TAX POSITIONS TAKEN FOR FILINGS WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. IT BELIEVES THAT ITS FILING POSITIONS WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WOULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, OR CASH FLOWS. THE CENTER'S TAX YEARS FOR 2015, 2016 AND 2017 ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS OF JUNE 30, 2018.
