| Explanation | The Planetarium Authority adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740-10 during fiscal year end 2009. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financials statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Planetarium Authority is exempt from income tax under IRC Section 501(c)(3), though they are subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The tax years ending June 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have any impact on the Planetarium Authority's 2009 financial statements. | Explanation |
