ASSET) IF THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ABA, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016, 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 ABA IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. PLAN MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE ABA'S INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 THROUGH 2014 REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION, BASED ON THE NORMAL STATUTORY PERIODS SUBJECT TO AUDIT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY EXIST WHICH COULD EXPAND THE OPEN PERIOD.
