Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization adopted the recognition requirements for uncertainincome tax positions as required by generally accepted accountingprinciples, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income taxbenefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to betaken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income taxposition will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination bytaxing authorities. The Organization has analyzed tax positions takenfor filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictionswhere it operates. The Organization believes that income tax filingpositions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate anyadjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on theOrganizations financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves, or relatedaccruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positionsare June 30, 2015.”
