THIS INTERPRETATION ADDRESSES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTIES IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRESCRIBES A THRESHOLD OF MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT FOR RECOGNITION AND DE-RECOGNITION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN. THE DETERMINATION OF TAX EXEMPT STATUS IS CONSIDERED TO BE A TAX POSITION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERPRETATION. SCRUM'S POLICY IS TO EVALUATE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT ITS UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WILL PREVAIL UPON EXAMINATION BASED ON THE EXTENT TO WHICH THOSE POSITIONS HAVE SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT WITHIN THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND REGULATIONS, REVENUE RULINGS, COURT DECISIONS AND OTHER EVIDENCE. IT IS THE OPINION OF MANAGEMENT THAT SCRUM HAS NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. SCRUM WOULD RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IN INTEREST EXPENSE SHOULD THEY OCCUR. THERE WERE NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES RELATED TO INCOME TAXES IN 2013. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, SCRUM IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATIONS BY FEDERAL OR STATE TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2011.
