Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Cafe group follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, cafe group may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of cafe group and various positions related to the potential soures of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting period presented herein. Cafe group files form 990 in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and the state of illinois.”
