| Explanation | Echo is a not-for-profit organization, determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a public charity and not a private foundation, that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and is generally not subject to federal or state income taxes; however, ECHO is subject to income taxes on any net income that was dervived from a trade or business regulary carried on, and not in furtherance of the purposes for which it was granted exemption. No income tax provision has been recorded as the net income, if any, from any unrelated business income, in the opinion of management is not material to the financial statements taken as a whole. In accordance with GAAP, ECHO is required to account and disclose in its financial statements its tax postions that are more likely than not to be substained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis of its tax positions taken or expected to be taken, Echo has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions that would require tax assets or liabilities to be recorded as of December 31, 2015. Echo does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities will materially change over the next twelve months. | ExplanationTxt |
