The llc is a pass-through taxable entity, and any related taxable activity will flow through to the parent companies as unrelated business income (loss). Tax expense for the year ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is $0. Current accounting standards require MIPB to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, management has determined that MIPB does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on MIPB's financial statements. MIPB does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. MIPB recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. MIPB did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at September 30, 2016 and 2015.
