Part X, Line 2:Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Theatre and recognize a tax liability if the Theatre has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Theatre and has concluded that as of August 31, 2016 and 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Theatre is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
