IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:On February 1, 2009, Upward adopted the new provisions of the Income Tax topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). These provisions clarify the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and prescribe guidance related to the consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position if the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of May 31, 2010, Upward had no material uncertain income tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Less: Gross revenue reported on short-year return: 3619804. Less: Removal of subsidiary activity- net: 67252.
