ExplanationFIN 48 UI LABS follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. UI LABS is exempt from income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3) and is only subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the IRC.ExplanationTxt
