Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Accordingly, TSTT has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at September 30, 2015.
