LPM is a title-holding corporation exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization evaluates its tax positions for any uncertainties based on the technical merits of the position taken. The Organization recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by taxing authorities. The Organization has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal and certain state taxing authorities. At September 30, 2016, the Organization is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2013. As of and for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Organization did not have a liability for any unrecognized taxes. The Organization has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax liabilities will significantly change in the next twelve months.
