| Explanation | THE FUND IS GENERALLY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(4) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. INCOME WHICH IS NOT RELATED TO EXEMPT PURPOSES, LESS APPLICABLE DEDUCTIONS, IS SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE CORPORATE INCOME TAXES. DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 HSLF RECORDED AND INCOME TAX RECOVERY OF $46,710 RESULTING FROM AN OVER ACCRUAL DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014. THE 2014 ACCRUAL WAS ESTIMATED BASED ON THEN CURRENT INFORMATION AVAILABLE; HOWEVER WHEN THE ULTIMATE TAX WAS PAID IN 2015, THE REQUIRED TAX PAYMENT DUE WAS LESS THAN THE ACCRUED AMOUNT. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB ASC 740 INCOME TAXES, HSLF RECOGNIZES TAX LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WHEN IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT A TAX POSITION WILL NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION AND SETTLEMENT WITH VARIOUS TAXING AUTHORITIES. LIABILITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS ARE MEASURED BASED UPON THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, HSLF IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND PRIOR. MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED HSLF'S TAX POSITIONS AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT HSLF HAS TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. | ExplanationTxt |
