Part X, Line 2Living Cities follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10 related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Living Cities has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. Living Cities believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Living Cities' financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, Living Cities' has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2015 and 2014. Living Cities is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any open tax periods. Living Cities' believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.
