THE TAX BENEFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT, PRESUMING THAT THE TAX POSITION IS EXAMINED BY THE APPROPRIATE TAXING AUTHORITY THAT HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION. DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014, THE SCHOOL'S MANAGEMENT EVALUATED ITS TAX POSITIONS TO DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE OF UNCERTAINTIES, AND DID NOT NOTE ANY MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR WHICH MAY HAVE AN EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. THE SCHOOL IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL TAX AUDITS ON ITS FORM 990 BY TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS ENDING PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31, 2011. THE YEARS SUBSEQUENT TO THIS YEAR CONTAIN MATTERS THAT COULD BE SUBJECT TO DIFFERING INTERPRETATIONS OF APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE OUTCOME OF TAX AUDITS IS UNCERTAIN, THE SCHOOL BELIEVES NO TAX ISSUES WOULD ARISE.
