For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, management has determined that MIPB does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on MIPB's financial statements. MIPB does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. MIPB recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
