ExplanationThe Trust is intended to meet the qualification requirements pursuant to Section 501(c)9 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, accordingly, the net investment income of the Trust is exempt from income taxes. The Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter dated October 10, 1995, confirming the tax exempt status of the Trust. ETS believes that the Trust, as amended, continues to qualify and to operate in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code. ETS evaluated the Plans tax positions and concluded that the Plan maintained its tax exempt status and has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is required in the financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Plan is subject to routine examinations by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no examinations for any open tax periods in progress. Plan management believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.Explanation
