Management believes ProExam has no material unrecognized income tax benefits or liabilities, including any potential loss of its tax-exempt status. ProExam would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of other operating expenses and include accrued interest and penalties in accrued expenses in the statement of financial position should they be incurred. ProExam has not incurred any penalties or interest as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 or 2014. ProExam is no longer subject to examination by federal or state taxing authorities for years before the year ended December 31, 2012. ProExam does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
