Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: The Arks adoption of the Income Tax Topic regarding uncertain tax positions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAPUSA) on July 1, 2009 had no effect on its financial position as management believes The Ark has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. The Ark would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. The Ark is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2007. Prior to adoption of the Income Tax Topic, the Ark accounted for tax positions under a contingent loss model, requiring recognition of a tax liability when it was both (1) probable that it had been incurred as of year-end and (2) the amount could be reasonably estimated. 1 FOOD OR MEALS 2500 83900 570195 COST AND/OR FMV FOOD PANTRY ITEMS, MEALS SERVED, FOOD PACKAGES DELIVERED PHARMACY & HEALTH CLINIC (MEDICATIONS, SUPPLIES, TESTS, ETC) 870 25492 108595 COST MEDICATION, CLINIC SUPPLIES RENT OR UTILITIES 700 234671 MISCELLANEOUS 1000 91126 Procedure for Monitoring Grants in the U.S.: Part I, Line 2: Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: MOST CASH GRANTS ARE MADE PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY, INSTEAD OF DIRECTLY TO THE RECIPIENT TO ENSURE PROPER USE OF THE FUNDS.
