SFCG is only subject to tax on unrelated business income. The Organization has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic No. 740-10, Income Taxes (ASC 740-10). Under ASC 740-10, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The implementation of ASC 740-10 had no impact on the financial statements. The Organization does not believe there are any unrecognized tax benefits that should be recorded. SFCG and Soliya are no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2016.
