TOPIC 740 REQUIRES CFS TO DETERMINE WHETHER A TAX POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINIATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY, INCLUDING RESOLUTION OF ANY RELATED APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN CFS RECORDING A TAX LIABILITY THAT WOULD REDUCE CFS NET ASSETS. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED CFS TAX POSITIONS, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT NO LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS SHOULD BE RECORDED RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN ON RETURNS FILED FOR OPEN TAX YEARS (2015- 2017), OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THEIR 2018 TAX RETURN. CFS IS NOT AWARE OF ANY TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH IT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNTS OF UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WILL CHANGE MATERIALLY IN THE NEXT TWLEVE MONTHS. true SOUTH ASIA FOOD SAFETY 125000 SOUTH AMERICA FOOD SAFET5Y 125000 250000 250000 FOOD SAFETY 125000 125000 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 3 SOUTH ASIA 125,000 0 SOUTH AMERICA 125,000 0 false false false false false false false false false ANDREW KIMBRELL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 187425 11083 198508 FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE CENTER FOR FOOD SAFETY (CFS) IS A NON-PROFIT PUBLIC INTEREST AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHALLENGING HARMFUL FOOD PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AND PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES.
