ALTHOUGH CAP IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX, CAP IS SUBJECT TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 512 OF THE IRC, AS WELL AS SUBJECT TO EXCISE TAX ON EXCESS LOBBYING EXPENSES. TOTAL UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 WAS NOT MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CAP files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. In accordance with FASB ASC 740 INCOME TAXES, CAP RECOGNIZES TAX LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WHEN IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. With a few exceptions, CAP is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2018. Management has evaluated CAP's tax positions and has concluded that CAP has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.
