Return ReferencePART X, LINE 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationTHE UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT ORIGINALLY ADVISED IN JULY 1961, AND CONFIRMED WITH A LETTER DATED AUGUST 27, 1992, THAT THE PLAN CONSTITUTES A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION AND IS, THEREFORE, EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER PROVISION OF SECTION 501 (C)(9) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE PLAN HAS BEEN AMENDED SINCE RECEIVING THE DETERMINATION LETTER. HOWEVER, THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AND THE PLANS TAX COUNSEL BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN IS CURRENTLY DESIGNED AND BEING OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THEREFORE, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PLANS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IN ADDITION, INCOME FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PLANS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. INCOME TAXES FOR SUCH UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME RESULTED FROM CERTAIN INVESTMENT INCOME. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE PLAN MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE PLAN AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY (OR ASSET) IF THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS. PLAN AMANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE PLAN, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2013, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY (OR ASSET) OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE PLAN IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2010.Explanation
