Valley Opportunity Council, Inc. believes that in the event of an examination by taxing authorities, the tax positions taken in previously filed tax and information returns and as reflected in its financial statements, with regard to issues affecting tax status, unrelated business income, and other matters, would prevail based upon the technical merits of such positions. Therefore, Valley Opportunity Council, Inc. has concluded that no tax benefits or liabilities are required to be recognized. Valley Opportunity Council, Inc.'s open tax periods are 2009 through 2012. Penalties and interest, if any, assessed by taxing authorities will be included in expenses.
