FOR THOSE BENEFITS TO BE RECOGNIZED, A TAX POSITION MUST BE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES.

TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FINAL TAX OUTCOME OF THESE MATTERS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE AMOUNTS RECORDED, SUCH DIFFERENCES WOULD IMPACT THE INCOME TAX EXPENSE BASED ON THE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, IF APPLICABLE, IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH SUCH DETERMINATION IS MADE. INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, RELATED TO ACCRUED LIABILITIES FOR POTENTIAL TAX ASSESSMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017, THE CONSERVANCY DID NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
