        <ExplanationTxt>PLC is exempt from federal income tax under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(12). Accordingly, no provision for income tax is required. PLC Energy, a for-profit entity, accounts for federal income tax using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. PLC Energy reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively. No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions, or related interest or penalties as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.</ExplanationTxt>
