ExplanationTHE ALLIANCE FOR BANGLADESH WORKER SAFETY, INC. IS A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION WHICH RECEIVED TAX EXEMPT STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(6) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND COMPARABLE STATUS UNDER THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA; THEREFORE, NO TAXES ARE REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS REQUIRE THE IMPACT OF UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS BE RECOGNIZED IN AN ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AMOUNTS RECOGNIZED ARE BASED ON A THRESHOLD OF "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITY. THE STANDARDS ALSO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON DERECOGNITION, MEASUREMENT, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, DISCLOSURE AND TRANSITION ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO TAX POSITIONS. AS OF AND DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, THE ALLIANCE DID NOT RECOGNIZE A LIABILITY FOR ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. MANAGEMENT'S DETERMINATION REGARDING UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS MAY BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT AT A LATER DATE BASED ON FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AN ON-GOING ANALYSIS OF TAX LAWS, REGULATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF.
